whether_o in_o defect_n of_o the_o ancient_a royal_a issue_n etc._n etc._n from_o hence_o these_o thing_n be_v plain_a 1._o that_o a_o usurper_n may_v just_o be_v resist_v and_o depose_v and_o therefore_o he_o have_v not_o the_o irresistible_a authority_n of_o a_o sovereign_a prince_n and_o the_o drs._n title_n to_o his_o book_n and_o his_o hypothesis_n do_v not_o agree_v the_o title_n be_v

who_o very_a essence_n and_o constitution_n consist_v in_o resist_v they_o and_o this_o strike_v at_o the_o root_n of_o both_o the_o doctor_n book_n 2._o that_o the_o right_a heir_n or_o the_o king_n out_o of_o possession_n be_v the_o high_a power_n
and_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n for_o otherwise_o it_o can_v not_o be_v say_v that_o a_o intruder_n into_o the_o office_n royal_a can_v never_o usurp_v or_o continue_v his_o power_n otherwise_o then_o by_o resist_v some_o high_a power_n or_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o as_o he_o afterward_o express_v it_o with_o respect_n to_o a_o government_n by_o succession_n he_o the_o usurper_n resist_v power_n much_o high_a than_o his_o own_o and_o if_o the_o right_a heir_n or_o king_n out_o of_o possession_n be_v the_o high_a power_n and_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n than_o he_o be_v the_o person_n within_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o 13_o to_o the_o roman_n and_o not_o the_o usurper_n and_o therefore_o whatever_o may_v be_v due_a to_o a_o usurper_n in_o the_o
