deliver_v we_o out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o philistine_n and_o now_o he_o be_v flee_v out_o of_o the_o land_n for_o absalon_n and_o absalon_n who_o we_o rebellious_o anoint_v over_o we_o be_v

run_v into_o that_o under_o absalon_n which_o they_o have_v but_o fear_v under_o david_n than_o they_o see_v their_o error_n and_o the_o man_n of_o israel_n be_v angry_a with_o the_o man_n of_o

sewer_a under_o usurper_n than_o under_o the_o lawful_a head_n it_o be_v as_o i_o have_v show_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o nature_n of_o that_o arbitrary_a and_o military_a power_n with_o which_o conquest_n do_v invest_v every_o prosperous_a rebel_n and_o though_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o reply_v that_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o one_o that_o rise_v up_o against_o his_o lawful_a sovereign_n to_o be_v free_a from_o self-interest_n and_o ambition_n and_o pure_o to_o design_n the_o ease_n and_o liberty_n of_o his_o fellow-subject_n yet_o in_o all_o the_o instance_n and_o example_n of_o

to_o the_o credulous_a people_n and_o will_v the_o time_n permit_v and_o the_o solemnity_n of_o the_o day_n allow_v of_o it_o i_o can_v verify_v the_o truth_n of_o my_o first_o observation_n in_o many_o such_o popular_a cheat_n but_o i_o will_v wave_v all_o foreign_a and_o confine_v myself_o to_o domestic_a example_n to_o prove_v that_o a_o state_n of_o prosperous_a rebellion_n be_v a_o state_n of_o slavery_n and_o captivity_n as_o king_n david_n in_o my_o text_n and_o our_o late_a bless_a sovereign_n who_o be_v wont_a to_o bewail_v the_o sad_a condition_n of_o his_o people_n in_o

way_n of_o contribution_n and_o loan_n but_o afterward_o when_o they_o have_v get_v the_o power_n into_o their_o own_o hand_n they_o levy_v it_o as_o fast_o by_o their_o own_o authority_n and_o demand_v it_o by_o way_n of_o tax_n i_o shall_v say_v nothing_o of_o the_o illegality_n of_o their_o rebellion_n against_o their_o prince_n no_o law_n be_v better_o know_v to_o the_o people_n than_o that_o which_o declare_v it_o to_o be_v high_a treason_n to_o levy_v war_n against_o the_o king_n but_o i_o design_v to_o set_v forth_o their_o oppression_n of_o their_o fellow-subject_n and_o show_v
