discord_n pax_fw-la bello_fw-la potior_fw-la seem_v to_o be_v a_o rule_n almost_o without_o exception_n but_o that_o other_o ex_fw-la bello_fw-la pax_fw-la be_v a_o motto_n fit_v only_o for_o

to_o take_v my_o own_o book_n into_o my_o hand_n without_o offence_n and_o put_v you_o in_o remembrance_n of_o that_o declaration_n and_o acknowledgement_n which_o i_o have_v more_o than_o once_o make_v you_o may_v meet_v with_o it_o in_o that_o public_a act_n prefix_v before_o the_o liturgy_n in_o these_o word_n i_o do_v declare_v that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a upon_o any_o pretence_n whatever_o to_o take_v arm_n against_o the_o king_n and_o that_o i_o do_v abhor_v that_o traitorous_a position_n of_o take_v up_o arm_n by_o his_o authority_n against_o his_o person_n or_o against_o those_o that_o be_v commissionated_a by_o he_o so_o that_o to_o take_v up_o arm_n to_o resist_v the_o king_n minister_n and_o officer_n have_v his_o commission_n be_v treason_n to_o maintain_v the_o legality_n of_o it_o be_v traitorous_a and_o to_o be_v abhor_v and_o hence_o you_o see_v that_o it_o be_v no_o crime_n nor_o scandal_n in_o sixty_o two_o to_o be_v a_o abhorrer_n even_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o whole_a nation_n if_o i_o shall_v be_v tell_v that_o this_o declaration_n be_v intend_v only_o for_o the_o clergy_n and_o schoolmaster_n to_o subscribe_v i_o shall_v acknowledge_v that_o true_a but_o must_v by_o the_o way_n observe_v what_o opinion_n our_o lawgiver_n then_o have_v of_o those_o who_o will_v be_v think_v the_o only_a preacher_n of_o christ_n and_o he_o crucify_a but_o it_o seem_v be_v suspect_v as_o the_o vile_a disturber_n of_o the_o government_n and_o most_o dangerous_a incendiary_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n and_o since_o so_o great_a trust_n be_v repose_v in_o those_o who_o take_v upon_o they_o these_o employment_n since_o they_o have_v opportunity_n if_o they_o will_v to_o debauch_v the_o understanding_n of_o their_o disciple_n our_o lawgiver_n judge_v it_o necessary_a to_o oblige_v they_o to_o that_o declaration_n and_o only_o to_o admit_v such_o of_o who_o fidelity_n to_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o nation_n they_o be_v assure_v and_o of_o who_o endeavour_n of_o instil_v no_o turbulent_a and_o treasonable_a principle_n into_o the_o ear_n and_o mind_n of_o the_o people_n they_o be_v competent_o secure_a however_o though_o the_o clergy_n and_o schoolmaster_n only_o be_v oblige_v unto_o that_o acknowledgement_n yet_o if_o the_o take_v up_o arm_n against_o those_o that_o be_v commissionated_a by_o the_o king_n be_v to_o be_v abhor_v by_o we_o and_o be_v in_o its_o self_n traitorous_a then_o certain_o no_o subject_n ought_v to_o resist_v the_o king_n minister_n the_o position_n of_o its_o lawfulness_n be_v traitorous_a the_o execution_n thereof_o can_v be_v no_o less_o than_o treason_n but_o that_o the_o people_n may_v lawful_o and_o conscientious_o commit_v treason_n be_v a_o solaecism_n in_o government_n as_o well_o as_o heresy_n in_o divinity_n hence_o the_o fancy_n of_o the_o author_n of_o that_o book_n entitle_v a_o treatise_n of_o monarchy_n be_v plain_o confute_v who_o argue_v tho_o not_o for_o a_o legal_a power_n express_v in_o the_o political_a contract_n yet_o for_o a_o moral_a natural_a transcendent_a power_n employ_v in_o all_o constitution_n for_o the_o people_n to_o resist_v the_o king_n minister_n and_o destructive_a instrument_n to_o assert_v this_o lawful_a upon_o any_o pretence_n whatever_o be_v you_o see_v traitorous_a the_o enterprise_n be_v therefore_o treason_n strict_o and_o express_o provide_v against_o by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n so_o much_o for_o the_o reason_n of_o my_o answer_n to_o this_o question_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v say_v as_o brief_o as_o i_o can_v what_o i_o think_v fit_a upon_o this_o argument_n expect_v now_o to_o be_v answer_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o disciple_n this_o be_v a_o hard_a say_v who_o can_v hear_v it_o what_o may_v we_o not_o defend_v ourselves_o against_o manifest_a injury_n against_o unsupportable_a oppression_n when_o all_o other_o relief_n be_v deny_v we_o when_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n
