their_o duty_n to_o pay_v obedience_n to_o another_o that_o can_v be_v not_o a_o person_n that_o have_v lose_v his_o government_n as_o unable_a to_o protect_v the_o people_n as_o he_o that_o have_v lose_v his_o sense_n and_o will_v not_o the_o endeavour_v to_o restore_v he_o by_o violent_a mean_n be_v more_o pernicious_a to_o the_o public_a than_o suffer_v a_o madman_n in_o the_o throne_n for_o though_o the_o incapacity_n proceed_v from_o different_a cause_n the_o one_o be_v a_o natural_a the_o other_o a_o moral_a one_o yet_o the_o reason_n the_o public_a good_a be_v the_o same_o for_o not_o endeavour_v to_o restore_v one_o as_o it_o be_v for_o depose_v the_o other_o though_o the_o next_o of_o kin_n may_v have_v a_o right_a to_o be_v a_o guardian_n to_o a_o minor_a yet_o if_o admit_v he_o will_v prejudice_v the_o affair_n of_o the_o minor_a he_o ought_v to_o be_v deny_v that_o right_n or_o rather_o that_o right_o cease_v because_o it_o be_v against_o the_o interest_n and_o advantage_n of_o the_o minor_a for_o who_o sake_n alone_o he_o be_v appoint_v guardian_n so_o in_o matter_n of_o government_n which_o be_v a_o office_n that_o have_v no_o other_o ground_n for_o its_o be_v

affair_n any_o particular_a person_n be_v right_a to_o that_o office_n must_v cease_v if_o he_o can_v be_v admit_v without_o great_a prejudice_n to_o the_o minor_n and_o as_o the_o number_n be_v disproportionate_a between_o one_o and_o a_o whole_a nation_n and_o as_o the_o life_n of_o a_o number_n of_o person_n be_v to_o be_v value_v before_o the_o interest_n of_o a_o single_a minor_n so_o much_o strong_a will_v the_o argument_n hold_v in_o behalf_n of_o the_o people_n and_o the_o great_a will_v the_o crime_n be_v in_o attempt_v to_o admit_v any_o person_n into_o that_o office_n when_o it_o can_v be_v do_v without_o involve_v the_o nation_n in_o manifest_a ruin_n therefore_o in_o most_o case_n where_o one_o king_n have_v power_n enough_o to_o turn_v another_o out_o of_o his_o

equal_a privilege_n with_o its_o dutiful_a subject_n thereby_o enable_v they_o to_o destroy_v that_o government_n which_o by_o all_o tie_n of_o conscience_n they_o must_v think_v themselves_o oblige_v to_o as_o subject_n to_o its_o enemy_n the_o safety_n and_o quiet_a of_o their_o peaceable_a subject_n as_o well_o as_o self_n preservation_n will_v oblige_v the_o supreme_a power_n to_o extirpate_v

when_o either_o his_o interest_n or_o command_n do_v require_v it_o can_v it_o be_v suppose_v that_o when_o man_n submit_v to_o government_n because_o it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a for_o their_o

the_o preservation_n of_o human_a society_n be_v the_o supreme_a law_n or_o that_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o act_v for_o the_o general_a good_a of_o a_o society_n and_o a_o duty_n in_o the_o people_n to_o expose_v themselves_o to_o certain_a destruction_n rather_o than_o act_v for_o their_o own_o good_a in_o a_o matter_n which_o be_v sole_o institute_v for_o their_o good_a a_o man_n may_v be_v
