A40705	The case of the times discuss'd being a serious exercitation of two cases grounded upon Romans 13, vers. 1,2,3,4,5 : First, how far we are bound to obey, when we are not satisfied that the laws are for our good, 2nd, whether subjection more than not to resist powers : to which is added some remarks upon a late book entituled The Protestant reconciler / by Fr.

the_o same_o learned_a author_n observe_v with_o i_o pag._n 3._o of_o his_o book_n that_o the_o dissenter_n be_v very_o prone_a on_o all_o occasion_n to_o cry_v out_o against_o impose_v of_o these_o

these_o matter_n as_o his_o phrase_n be_v of_o this_o the_o learned_a reconciler_n himself_o be_v aware_a though_o the_o design_n of_o his_o book_n will_v persuade_v to_o the_o contrary_n i_o therefore_o wonder_n say_v he_o at_o the_o wickedness_n and_o injustice_n of_o those_o man_n who_o clamour_n so_o much_o against_o they_o because_o such_o condescension_n be_v not_o immediate_o make_v

by_o alter_a the_o law_n so_o neither_o can_v he_o meet_v he_o in_o the_o abatement_n of_o his_o conformity_n according_a to_o they_o without_o breach_n of_o his_o duty_n and_o become_v a_o dissenter_n himself_o and_o a_o transgressor_n of_o the_o law_n yea_o a_o violator_n of_o his_o engagement_n promise_n and_o oath_n and_o if_o this_o sentence_n be_v true_a what_o will_v our_o
