A41764	The Grand question resolved, viz. a king having protested to defend to the uttermost of his power, the true Protestant religion, with the rights and liberties of all his subjects but if they, fearing that he will violate this his protestation, take up arms to prevent it, what may be judged hereof?		1681 (1681)	Wing G1509; ESTC R7816	9,125	18

unto_o who_o he_o give_v these_o three_o commandment_n whereof_o if_o one_o be_v break_v the_o other_o be_v also_o violate_a for_o he_o that_o fear_v not_o god_n how_o do_v he_o fear_v his_o king_n

fear_v the_o king_n and_o not_o to_o meddle_v with_o they_o which_o be_v give_v to_o change_v or_o he_o that_o be_v give_v to_o change_v how_o like_a be_v he_o to_o that_o god_n which_o change_v not_o or_o like_v to_o a_o good_a king_n which_o rule_v by_o his_o constant_a know_a law_n therefore_o if_o subject_n rise_v up_o in_o arm_n against_o their_o liege_n lord_n and_o king_n be_v they_o not_o

to_o fight_v against_o god_n ordinance_n for_o such_o warrior_n in_o effect_n fight_v against_o god_n and_o if_o we_o enter_v the_o list_n with_o god_n be_v not_o we_o like_v to_o lose_v the_o
