instead_o of_o authorise_v they_o will_v reverse_v it_o so_o soon_o as_o they_o fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o more_o upright_a judge_n and_o jury_n that_o will_v find_v and_o pronounce_v

enough_o as_o may_v appear_v from_o what_o be_v say_v above_o of_o illegal_a act_n against_o the_o authority_n of_o all_o law_n both_o of_o god_n and_o of_o their_o own_o realm_n and_o yet_o of_o the_o sovereign_n who_o be_v the_o illegal_a actor_n still_o retain_v their_o sovereign_a authority_n and_o hold_v the_o sufferer_n in_o their_o former_a state_n of_o subject_n and_o under_o a_o

they_o that_o they_o be_v still_o in_o authority_n and_o that_o their_o subject_n as_o they_o will_v answer_v the_o contrary_a to_o he_o be_v to_o keep_v in_o their_o obedience_n and_o duty_n to_o they_o notwithstanding_o so_o that_o wheresoever_o any_o forfeiture_n of_o crown_n come_v in_o it_o must_v be_v by_o some_o special_a provision_n in_o a_o people_n own_o law_n and_o where_o law_n

be_v the_o argument_n for_o resistance_n from_o such_o inautoritative_a act_n yes_o 11._o say_v they_o when_o unjust_a act_n have_v no_o authority_n in_o virtue_n of_o self-defence_n we_o may_v

in_o the_o action_n but_o resistance_n and_o warlike_a defence_n though_o it_o be_v for_o a_o action_n must_v be_v of_o some_o person_n and_o what_o if_o there_o be_v something_o to_o bar_v such_o resistance_n in_o the_o person_n as_o i_o think_v the_o law_n appoint_v in_o the_o person_n of_o father_n and_o mother_n when_o it_o declare_v he_o shall_v sure_o be_v put_v to_o death_n that_o

something_o in_o his_o person_n to_o keep_v out_o all_o resistance_n and_o arm_v against_o our_o sovereign_n the_o argument_n for_o not_o resist_v or_o make_v a_o warlike_a defence_n against_o he_o be_v because_o he_o be_v king_n and_o then_o what_o take_v off_o this_o and_o can_v be_v a_o argument_n for_o resistance_n must_v be_v something_o that_o do_v unk_v he_o and_o since_o such_o unautoritative_a act_n be_v no_o forfeiture_n of_o crown_n it_o be_v plain_a whatever_o other_o immunity_n they_o be_v a_o ground_n of_o they_o be_v no_o ground_n of_o levy_v war_n or_o arm_a resistance_n this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v a_o very_a good_a and_o sufficient_a ground_n and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v the_o true_a ground_n of_o submission_n and_o passive_a obedience_n under_o illegal_a violence_n and_o persecution_n the_o illegal_a act_n i_o conceive_v have_v nothing_o in_o itself_o to_o bar_v self-defence_n have_v no_o authority_n to_o bear_v out_o and_o enforce_v it_o as_o may_v seem_v either_o from_o god_n or_o man._n not_o from_o god_n for_o if_o his_o law_n carry_v his_o authority_n and_o where_o do_v he_o display_v his_o authority_n if_o not_o in_o his_o law_n what_o be_v against_o his_o law_n be_v against_o his_o authority_n nor_o from_o man_n for_o the_o same_o reason_n of_o its_o be_v against_o humane_a law_n which_o carry_v their_o authority_n but_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o person_n be_v a_o bar_n to_o this_o way_n of_o defence_n against_o our_o sovereign_n and_o when_o the_o sovereign_n will_v do_v such_o illegal_a act_n though_o he_o have_v no_o authority_n to_o justify_v himself_o therein_o nor_o to_o make_v his_o unrighteous_a or_o illegal_a command_n real_o obligatory_a and_o bind_a yet_o because_o he_o be_v a_o person_n under_o who_o authority_n and_o obedience_n we_o all_o be_v this_o will_v be_v the_o effect_n of_o they_o see_v subject_n under_o government_n can_v have_v no_o remedy_n but_o what_o keep_v the_o order_n of_o

command_n exempt_v we_o from_o any_o obligation_n to_o active_a performance_n this_o authority_n of_o his_o person_n do_v notwithstanding_o lay_v on_o we_o a_o obligation_n of_o keep_v under_o his_o
