of_o subject_n if_o they_o all_o purpose_n as_o they_o all_o shall_v do_v in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o keep_v a_o good_a conscience_n i_o think_v his_o principle_n may_v appear_v from_o what_o i_o

can_v serve_v
revolution_n now_o he_o design_v his_o right_n of_o providence_n to_o give_v authority_n to_o the_o revolution_n that_o be_v to_o authorise_v one_o being_n pull_v down_o and_o the_o other_o be_v set_v up_o or_o to_o make_v god_n transfer_v the_o authority_n from_o one_o to_o the_o other_o thereby_o and_o the_o principle_n itself_o and_o like_o scripture_n say_n about_o providence_n in_o that_o

bind_v all_o the_o subject_n as_o full_o and_o fast_o to_o they_o as_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o the_o former_a king_n and_o what_o more_o service_n will_v a_o man_n desire_n from_o principle_n who_o part_n be_v not_o to_o act_v and_o accomplish_v thing_n but_o only_o to_o justify_v and_o confirm_v action_n and_o the_o actor_n in_o they_o but_o quite_o contrary_a the_o other_o principle_n of_o legal_a right_n give_v all_o the_o check_n to_o revolution_n that_o principle_n can_v do_v leave_v no_o man_n right_o to_o invade_v a_o rightful_a prince_n throne_n nor_o to_o hold_v it_o when_o he_o have_v unrighteous_o get_v it_o but_o to_o restore_v it_o to_o the_o true_a owner_n again_o nor_o liberty_n to_o the_o subject_n to_o turn_v over_o to_o the_o usurper_n against_o their_o rightful_a

from_o god_n if_o it_o will_v prevent_v unrighteousness_n which_o therefore_o come_v from_o he_o because_o it_o will_v do_v so_o but_o his_o reason_n be_v because_o than_o god_n can_v not_o exercise_v

law_n be_v the_o ordinary_a way_n yet_o god_n have_v other_o way_n of_o make_v or_o unmake_v king_n that_o be_v rightful_a king_n when_o he_o please_v for_o he_o may_v put_v a_o end_n to_o the_o dispossess_v king_n right_a by_o take_v he_o out_o of_o the_o world_n or_o by_o bring_v he_o whilst_o he_o live_v to_o resign_v and_o part_v with_o it_o by_o his_o own_o consent_n or_o give_v it_o away_o from_o he_o to_o the_o other_o by_o immediate_a revelation_n if_o he_o see_v fit_a as_o i_o show_v before_o and_o these_o be_v his_o way_n of_o exercise_v this_o prerogative_n of_o remove_v or_o set_v up_o king_n when_o that_o be_v to_o remove_v and_o transfer_v the_o allegiance_n of_o subject_n but_o if_o he_o only_o by_o course_n of_o providence_n change_v possession_n but_o neither_o by_o human_a nor_o divine_a title_n transfer_v the_o right_a to_o a_o crown_n it_o be_v a_o punishment_n or_o trial_n both_o on_o dispossess_v prince_n and_o people_n and_o be_v not_o the_o removal_n
