A47734	An answer to a book, intituled, The state of the Protestants in Ireland under the late King James government in which, their carriage towards him is justified, and the absolute necessity of their endeavouring to be free'd from his government, and of submitting to their present Majesties, is demonstrated.	Leslie, Charles, 1650-1722.	1692 (1692)	Wing L1120; ESTC R994	223,524	303

their_o free_a consent_n they_o will_v do_v what_o they_o promise_v without_o swear_v and_o if_o they_o do_v not_o all_o the_o oath_n in_o the_o world_n will_v not_o make_v they_o do_v augustus_n for_o this_o expect_v no_o allegiance_n from_o his_o subject_n or_o be_v not_o the_o eastern_a monarch_n pretty_a absolute_a because_o the_o law_n in_o those_o nation_n do_v not_o require_v oath_n

their_o leet_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n they_o give_v for_o impose_v the_o new_a oath_n in_o ireland_n to_o king_n william_n and_o queen_n mary_n before_o there_o be_v a_o act_n of_o

of_o supremacy_n as_o our_o author_n can_v pretend_v there_o be_v for_o swear_v to_o k._n william_n in_o ireland_n before_o the_o new_a act_n impose_v the_o oath_n there_o so_o that_o our_o author_n be_v out_o too_o in_o matter_n of_o law_n judge_n six_o reason_n in_o answer_n to_o the_o question_n who_o shall_v be_v judge_n but_o the_o main_a of_o the_o difficulty_n be_v yet_o behind_o and_o that_o be_v that_o upon_o our_o author_n scheme_n of_o dissolve_v oath_n and_o government_n for_o such_o reason_n as_o he_o think_v fit_a he_o have_v not_o tell_v we_o who_o shall_v be_v judge_n of_o these_o forfeiture_n or_o abdication_n this_o i_o have_v urge_v already_o but_o you_o have_v not_o hear_v our_o author_n answer_n he_o say_v c._n 2._o s_o 1._o n._n 2._o p._n 12._o it_o be_v common_o object_v who_o shall_v be_v judge_n and_o he_o resolve_v it_o thus_o that_o either_o the_o people_n must_v be_v leave_v to_o judge_v of_o the_o design_n of_o their_o governor_n or_o else_o they_o must_v be_v oblige_v to_o a_o blind_a and_o absolute_a submission_n without_o employ_v their_o understanding_n in_o the_o case_n thus_o our_o author_n like_o a_o mighty_a man_n yet_o this_o sophism_n be_v as_o poor_a a_o one_o as_o the_o last_o about_o the_o oath_n for_o in_o the_o case_n we_o be_v upon_o of_o determine_v a_o cause_n betwixt_o the_o government_n and_o the_o subject_n when_o we_o say_v who_o shall_v be_v judge_n the_o meaning_n be_v not_o who_o shall_v have_v power_n to_o think_v in_o his_o own_o mind_n we_o say_v thought_n be_v free_a and_o this_o sort_n of_o pass_a

which_o be_v the_o case_n we_o be_v upon_o the_o question_n who_o shall_v be_v judge_n be_v who_o have_v authority_n to_o determine_v the_o cause_n betwixt_o they_o as_o a_o judge_n do_v between_o two_o contend_a party_n in_o which_o sense_n none_o can_v be_v a_o judge_n but_o he_o that_o have_v a_o commission_n from_o some_o who_o have_v power_n to_o invest_v he_o with_o that_o authority_n viz._n to_o judge_v betwixt_o king_n and_o people_n which_o none_o can_v have_v but_o god_n alone_o and_o to_o say_v that_o every_o man_n who_o be_v not_o such_o a_o judge_n as_o this_o have_v not_o leave_v to_o employ_v his_o understanding_n in_o the_o case_n because_o he_o have_v not_o power_n authoritative_o to_o determine_v the_o case_n so_o as_o to_o oblige_v and_o tie_v up_o the_o contend_a party_n be_v what_o this_o author_n will_v sly_o pass_v upon_o you_o undiscovered_a but_o it_o be_v too_o plain_a to_o bear_v a_o argument_n well_o then_o the_o question_n be_v concern_v a_o authoritative_a judge_n and_o our_o author_n proceed_v i_o dare_v appeal_n say_v he_o to_o all_o the_o world_n whether_o it_o be_v safe_a to_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o judgement_n and_o conscience_n of_o a_o whole_a kingdom_n to_o determine_v concern_v the_o design_n of_o their_o governor_n or_o to_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o will_n and_o conscience_n of_o the_o king_n whether_o he_o will_v destroy_v they_o one_o of_o these_o be_v unavoidable_a and_o i_o be_o assure_v it_o be_v less_o probable_a that_o the_o generality_n of_o a_o kingdom_n will_v concur_v in_o a_o mistake_n of_o this_o nature_n and_o less_o mischievous_a if_o they_o shall_v mistake_v than_o that_o a_o king_n by_o weakness_n wicked_a councillor_n or_o false_a principle_n shall_v design_n to_o make_v his_o people_n slave_n subvert_v the_o ancient_a government_n or_o destroy_v one_o part_n of_o his_o people_n who_o he_o hate_v in_o favour_n of_o another_o thus_o our_o author_n and_o the_o case_n be_v plausible_o
