A28440 King William and Queen Mary, conquerors, or, A discourse endeavouring to prove that Their Majesties have on their side, against the late king, the principal reasons that make conquest a good title shewing also how this is consistent with that declaration of Parliament, King James abdicated the government, &c. : written with an especial regard to such as have hitherto refused the oath, and yet incline to allow of the title of conquest, when consequent to a just war. Blount, Charles, 1654-1693. 1693 (1693) Wing B3309; ESTC R23388 40,332 68

judgement_n even_o where_o at_o the_o first_o i_o have_v have_v some_o measure_n of_o assurance_n i_o distrust_v my_o performance_n but_o when_o i_o abstract_n from_o my_o own_o management_n set_v

charitable_a meaning_n and_o if_o any_o man_n be_v please_v to_o write_v against_o what_o i_o have_v say_v i_o desire_v he_o will_v write_v like_o a_o person_n that_o contend_v for_o truth_n rather_o

in_o these_o word_n i_o a._n b._n do_v sincere_o promise_v and_o swear_v that_o i_o will_v be_v faithful_a and_o bear_v true_a allegiance_n to_o their_o majesty_n king_n william_n and_o queen_n mary_n

oblige_v a_o man_n to_o be_v a_o true_a prisoner_n to_o pay_v tax_n and_o not_o to_o disturb_v the_o government_n but_o to_o bear_v all_o the_o allegiance_n to_o their_o present_a majesty_n that_o be_v ever_o owe_v to_o any_o king_n of_o england_n whatever_o although_o his_o title_n be_v most_o indisputable_a so_o as_o be_v the_o late_a k._n james_n himself_o shall_v land_v in_o england_n and_o lay_v with_o a_o army_n on_o the_o left_a hand_n and_o k._n william_n and_o q._n mary_n with_o a_o army_n on_o right_n yet_o so_o long_o as_o k._n william_n and_o q_n mary_n be_v possess_v of_o the_o crown_n and_o the_o regalia_z the_o subject_n be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o look_v upon_o j._n as_o a_o invader_n and_o every_o man_n in_o his_o place_n and_o call_v be_v to_o be_v aid_v and_o assist_v to_o k._n william_n and_o q._n mary_n the_o priesthood_n with_o their_o prayer_n the_o militia_n with_o their_o arm_n and_o the_o people_n with_o their_o purse_n &c_n &c_n in_o this_o sense_n i_o be_o content_a to_o understand_v the_o oath_n and_o i_o think_v it_o very_o probable_a that_o this_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o imposer_n because_o they_o intend_v it_o as_o a_o mean_n to_o secure_v the_o crown_n to_o those_o on_o who_o head_n they_o have_v place_v it_o and_o less_o than_o this_o will_v not_o do_v it_o the_o second_o thing_n to_o be_v premise_v be_v that_o i_o make_v no_o difficulty_n at_o all_o about_o any_o title_n that_o q._n mary_n may_v by_o some_o be_v suppose_v to_o have_v antecedent_n to_o that_o of_o k._n william_n because_o she_o have_v submit_v she_o right_o and_o be_v very_o well_o satisfy_v with_o the_o share_v allot_v she_o by_o the_o convention_n no_o man_n else_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o do_v to_o move_v any_o controversy_n about_o it_o wherefore_o when_o i_o say_v allegiance_n be_v due_a to_o k._n william_n and_o q._n marry_o i_o mean_v it_o in_o the_o sense_n that_o the_o oath_n itself_o imply_v it_o to_o be_v due_a to_o each_o of_o they_o which_o for_o aught_o any_o man_n know_v be_v the_o very_a sense_n that_o each_o of_o they_o do_v best_o like_v of_o and_o these_o thing_n be_v premise_v i_o now_o proceed_v there_o be_v three_o topic_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v argue_v for_o the_o oath_n and_o as_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o from_o each_o of_o they_o very_o solid_o 1._o we_o may_v affirm_v that_o their_o present_a majesty_n have_v a_o just_a quarrel_n against_o the_o late_a king_n and_o conquer_v he_o and_o that_o conquest_n be_v in_o such_o a_o case_n a_o good_a title_n 2._o that_o the_o late_a king_n abdicate_v the_o crown_n and_o leave_v the_o throne_n vacant_a and_o that_o although_o the_o former_a tit'e_n be_v not_o good_a yet_o the_o convention_n have_v place_n i_o they_o there_o and_o the_o body_n of_o the_o nation_n submit_v to_o they_o they_o have_v thereupon_o a_o good_a title_n and_o 3._o that_o their_o majesty_n be_v possess_v of_o the_o crown_n and_o that_o possession_n be_v in_o their_o case_n a_o good_a title_n although_o the_o other_o two_o shall_v fail_v the_o two_o last_o i_o shall_v wave_v because_o they_o have_v be_v already_o very_o large_o prosecute_v by_o other_o and_o as_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o good_a purpose_n however_o they_o have_v not_o happen_v to_o give_v satisfaction_n to_o some_o men._n the_o first_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o manage_v because_o however_o it_o may_v have_v be_v touch_v upon_o by_o some_o other_o yet_o have_v it_o not_o be_v so_o full_o lay_v open_a and_o urge_v by_o any_o that_o i_o know_v of_o as_o the_o other_o two_n if_o in_o this_o i_o be_o mistake_v i_o must_v plead_v for_o my_o excuse_n the_o circumstance_n i_o be_o in_o especial_o my_o distance_n from_o business_n and_o such_o book_n as_o have_v be_v late_o write_v which_o be_v to_o i_o unavoidable_a but_o the_o chief_a reason_n that_o have_v at_o this_o time_n determine_v my_o choice_n to_o this_o argument_n be_v because_o i_o find_v that_o several_a who_o be_v not_o yet_o satisfy_v with_o any_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v hitherto_o offer_v do_v declare_v that_o if_o it_o can_v be_v make_v appear_v that_o their_o present_a majesty_n have_v on_o their_o side_n all_o the_o right_n of_o conquest_n they_o will_v entire_o submit_v to_o the_o government_n and_o take_v 〈◊〉_d o_o 〈…〉_z they_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o a_o conquest_n consequent_a to_o a_o just_a quarrel_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o they_o so_o importunate_o demand_v our_o prove_v either_o the_o league_n with_o france_n or_o that_o the_o pretend_a prince_n of_o wales_n be_v not_o genuine_a they_o seem_v to_o own_o that_o either_o of_o these_o will_v have_v be_v on_o the_o then_o prince_n of_o orange_n part_n a_o just_a ground_n of_o war_n and_o that_o thereupon_o he_o may_v lawful_o have_v make_v use_n of_o his_o success_n and_o if_o this_o be_v true_a then_o must_v the_o conclusion_n be_v the_o same_o by_o whatever_o argument_n we_o prove_v the_o premise_n wherefore_o for_o these_o man_n satisfaction_n as_o well_o as_o for_o the_o vindicate_a of_o their_o majesty_n and_o their_o loyal_a subject_n in_o point_n of_o honour_n and_o conscience_n i_o have_v undertake_v to_o do_v it_o and_o to_o put_v the_o matter_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a out_o of_o controversy_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o prove_v these_o three_o thing_n 1._o that_o their_o majesty_n k._n william_n and_o q._n mary_n have_v a_o just_a ground_n of_o war_n with_o k._n james_n 2._o that_o they_o conquer_v he_o and_o 3._o that_o conquest_n be_v in_o this_o their_o case_n a_o good_a title_n 1._o their_o
