A47295	The duty of allegiance settled upon its true grounds, according to Scripture, reason, and the opinion of the Church in answer to a late book of Dr. William Sherlock, master of the Temple, entituled, The case of the allegiance due to sovereign powers, stated, and resolved, according to Scripture, &c. : with a more particular respect to the oath lately injoyn'd.

as_o every_o one_o be_v bind_v to_o in_o his_o station_n whilst_o a_o prince_n be_v among_o they_o how_o will_v his_o way_n exempt_v they_o from_o pay_v the_o same_o when_o they_o have_v a_o oblige_a

to_o their_o due_a obedience_n whilst_o his_o errand_n be_v restore_a or_o get_v possession_n and_o this_o in_o virtue_n of_o their_o natural_a allegiance_n they_o have_v take_v no_o legal_a oath_n

any_o dispossess_v king_n person_n will_v leave_v he_o the_o crown_n and_o dignity_n and_o then_o all_o continuance_n of_o attempt_n to_o deprive_v his_o person_n of_o the_o crown_n and_o dignity_n

though_o they_o be_v not_o to_o defend_v such_o illegal_a opposer_n in_o a_o illegal_a thing_n yet_o be_v they_o bind_v to_o give_v he_o the_o due_a defence_n of_o allegiance_n and_o the_o legal_a
