appeal_v to_o our_o late_a experience_n and_o the_o great_a bustle_v and_o stir_v which_o some_o people_n make_v at_o present_a it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o government_n be_v always_o in_o danger_n from_o man_n of_o ill_a principle_n because_o they_o lie_v under_o a_o perpetual_a temptation_n to_o rebel_v now_o of_o those_o many_o principle_n and_o doctrine_n which_o have_v for_o some_o year_n so_o mighty_o prevail_v and_o pester_v the_o world_n i_o shall_v only_o recount_v two_o which_o i_o think_v to_o be_v of_o as_o pernicious_a a_o consequence_n and_o to_o have_v have_v as_o great_a a_o influence_n in_o disturb_v the_o government_n as_o any_o other_o that_o can_v be_v name_v the_o principle_n and_o doctrine_n be_v these_o two_o that_o dominion_n be_v found_v in_o grace_n and_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o fight_v for_o religion_n the_o one_o take_v away_o all_o consideration_n of_o right_n and_o justice_n and_o the_o other_o authorise_v and_o sanctify_v rebellion_n and_o though_o some_o among_o we_o take_v a_o peculiar_a pride_n and_o will_v be_v think_v the_o more_o religious_a for_o clamour_v against_o the_o papist_n as_o altogether_o unsufferable_a upon_o account_n of_o their_o dangerous_a principle_n and_o practice_n yet_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v what_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o these_o two_o opinion_n of_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o depose_v king_n for_o heresy_n and_o fight_v for_o religion_n the_o one_o be_v a_o pure_a jesuitical_a principle_n and_o the_o other_o a_o fanatic_a and_o true_o both_o accord_n and_o jump_v together_o in_o the_o same_o sentiment_n and_o opinion_n in_o opposition_n to_o government_n save_v only_o that_o the_o latter_a have_v the_o cunningness_n to_o lick_v the_o jesuit_n principle_n into_o another_o form_n and_o put_v they_o into_o a_o different_a dress_n but_o this_o have_v be_v the_o trick_n of_o all_o those_o who_o have_v have_v any_o spleen_n or_o design_n against_o the_o government_n to_o disguise_v their_o malice_n and_o wicked_a intention_n with_o the_o plausible_a and_o specious_a title_n and_o pretence_n of_o religion_n and_o reformation_n and_o when_o they_o have_v have_v a_o mind_n to_o rebel_v that_o they_o may_v put_v a_o good_a face_n and_o a_o fair_a gloss_n upon_o the_o matter_n they_o begin_v to_o find_v fault_n with_o their_o prince_n for_o some_o personal_a fail_n or_o enormity_n of_o life_n or_o not_o be_v so_o close_a a_o friend_n to_o religion_n nor_o so_o godly_a as_o they_o will_v have_v he_o to_o be_v or_o else_o quarrel_v at_o the_o administration_n of_o public_a affair_n as_o want_v conduct_n and_o policy_n and_o not_o be_v agreeable_a to_o honour_n and_o justice_n and_o this_o we_o have_v see_v practise_v all_o along_o by_o that_o party_n of_o man_n who_o be_v a_o continual_a plague_n and_o burden_n to_o the_o government_n how_o that_o they_o be_v always_o pick_v flaw_n in_o their_o prince_n religion_n or_o government_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o some_o defect_n in_o his_o moral_n or_o some_o error_n and_o miscarriage_n of_o state_n and_o so_o represent_v he_o as_o a_o person_n not_o fit_a or_o religious_a enough_o to_o govern_v for_o this_o principle_n that_o dominion_n be_v found_v in_o grace_n lie_v at_o the_o bottom_n and_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o all_o our_o dissenter_n rage_n and_o implacable_a aversion_n to_o the_o king_n and_o his_o government_n for_o they_o look_v upon_o themselves_o as_o the_o godly_a party_n and_o that_o none_o love_n or_o practice_n religion_n like_o themselves_o do_v thereupon_o think_v that_o none_o but_o the_o godly_a have_v a_o right_a to_o govern_v and_o though_o a_o prince_n be_v as_o holy_a as_o a_o angel_n yet_o unless_o he_o be_v righteous_a in_o their_o eye_n and_o according_a to_o their_o standard_n of_o holiness_n he_o will_v be_v reject_v as_o unfit_a to_o rule_v over_o '_o they_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o in_o the_o late_a time_n of_o usurpation_n this_o sort_n of_o man_n make_v no_o scruple_n to_o plunder_v and_o spoil_v other_o of_o their_o estate_n and_o seat_n themselves_o in_o their_o possession_n give_v out_o to_o the_o world_n that_o the_o wicked_a do_v forfeit_v all_o right_n to_o their_o estate_n and_o that_o none_o can_v hold_v a_o estate_n by_o any_o tenure_n but_o that_o of_o holiness_n and_o so_o make_v a_o shift_n under_o the_o pretence_n of_o a_o singular_a piety_n and_o a_o confident_a engross_a holiness_n to_o themselves_o to_o convert_v the_o sinner_n land_n as_o they_o call_v all_o rich_a and_o loyal_a person_n into_o the_o inheritance_n of_o the_o saint_n as_o they_o call_v themselves_o and_o the_o truth_n be_v wherever_o this_o principle_n prevail_v it_o will_v mighty_o provoke_v and_o stir_v up_o people_n against_o their_o superior_n in_o case_n of_o the_o least_o failure_n in_o point_n of_o morality_n or_o that_o which_o they_o account_v religion_n and_o the_o only_a qualification_n for_o government_n and_o who_o can_v ever_o be_v quiet_a or_o safe_a in_o their_o possession_n when_o a_o company_n of_o enthusiastic_a and_o hotheaded_a people_n as_o most_o of_o this_o persuasion_n be_v shall_v take_v a_o occasion_n to_o quarrel_n with_o other_o for_o their_o impiety_n and_o grow_v very_o angry_a with_o they_o for_o their_o sin_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v have_v some_o colour_n and_o ground_n to_o justify_v their_o plunder_n and_o sequestration_n and_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o those_o who_o be_v so_o mighty_o for_o put_v the_o government_n altogether_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o righteous_a will_v be_v very_o apt_a to_o strike_v in_o for_o their_o own_o preferment_n for_o general_o such_o kind_n of_o people_n be_v mighty_o conceit_v of_o their_o own_o worth_n and_o be_v always_o righteous_a in_o their_o own_o eye_n but_o as_o this_o doctrine_n have_v do_v a_o world_n of_o mischief_n in_o cause_v people_n narrow_o to_o inspect_v and_o animadvert_v upon_o all_o the_o fail_n and_o miscarriage_n of_o their_o superior_n so_o seek_v occasion_n against_o they_o even_o to_o the_o despise_v they_o for_o some_o weakness_n and_o imperfection_n which_o be_v perhaps_o unavoidable_a in_o their_o circumstance_n and_o no_o more_o than_o some_o sad_a instance_n of_o humane_a frailty_n so_o likewise_o that_o other_o doctrine_n of_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o fight_v for_o religion_n have_v equal_v the_o former_a in_o its_o mischievous_a effect_n and_o though_o some_o who_o have_v dip_v their_o hand_n in_o royal_a and_o innocent_a blood_n and_o have_v be_v exercise_v in_o the_o slaughter_n of_o the_o righteous_a have_v call_v it_o fight_v the_o lord_n battle_n and_o assume_v to_o themselves_o the_o name_n of_o strict_a professor_n and_o reformer_n of_o religion_n yet_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o such_o as_o be_v so_o ready_a to_o fight_v for_o religion_n and_o promote_v it_o by_o the_o sword_n have_v no_o religion_n at_o all_o for_o religion_n be_v a_o peaceable_a quiet_a thing_n and_o fight_v and_o quarrel_n be_v as_o contrary_a to_o it_o as_o be_v the_o most_o dissonant_n thing_n in_o nature_n as_o be_v the_o lamb_n and_o the_o wolf_n the_o soft_a air_n of_o music_n and_o that_o rage_a merciless_a element_n the_o ocean_n and_o i_o be_o very_o persuade_v that_o these_o principle_n and_o doctrine_n which_o i_o have_v now_o mention_v and_o the_o like_a to_o they_o which_o i_o have_v no_o time_n to_o recite_v or_o display_v in_o their_o proper_a colour_n have_v be_v the_o occasion_n of_o vast_a trouble_n and_o distraction_n in_o this_o kingdom_n and_o doubtless_o this_o very_a doctrine_n of_o resistance_n and_o oppose_a prince_n in_o case_n we_o do_v not_o like_o their_o religion_n which_o be_v so_o malicious_o intend_v and_o so_o bold_o maintain_v by_o a_o late_a mercenary_a pen_n in_o a_o book_n entitle_v the_o life_n of_o julian_n the_o apostate_n have_v tend_v very_o much_o to_o dissettle_v some_o in_o their_o loyalty_n and_o confirm_v other_o in_o their_o rebellious_a principle_n and_o perhaps_o the_o argument_n which_o be_v there_o use_v to_o confirm_v and_o propagate_v that_o wicked_a position_n may_v very_o much_o heat_n and_o spur_v on_o that_o unhappy_a gentleman_n the_o late_a lord_n russel_n to_o those_o consult_v and_o debate_n which_o cost_v he_o his_o precious_a life_n and_o bring_v he_o to_o such_o a_o inglorious_a end_n and_o beside_o all_o this_o the_o great_a danger_n be_v that_o these_o turbulent_a and_o ill_a principle_n may_v like_o error_n not_o die_v with_o their_o author_n but_o convey_v themselves_o to_o posterity_n and_o we_o have_v too_o plain_a a_o demonstration_n in_o this_o age_n that_o rebellion_n as_o well_o as_o some_o natural_a disease_n run_v in_o a_o blood_n and_o
