have_v mention_v the_o particular_n for_o otherwise_o it_o be_v to_o arraign_v the_o common_a justice_n of_o the_o nation_n as_o to_o the_o hasty_a and_o violent_a proceed_n of_o his_o trial_n it_o

to_o the_o people_n be_v because_o he_o will_v employ_v his_o last_o minute_n in_o devotion_n and_o holy_a communion_n with_o god_n which_o i_o hope_v he_o do_v but_o those_o who_o contrive_v the_o speech_n be_v to_o make_v a_o prayer_n for_o he_o too_o but_o not_o a_o prayer_n of_o devotion_n but_o rather_o of_o faction_n and_o sedition_n for_o it_o have_v no_o other_o meaning_n than_o that_o

for_o this_o they_o publish_v a_o account_n to_o the_o world_n of_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o and_o the_o chief_a be_v this_o 117._o viz._n that_o they_o have_v reason_n to_o suspect_v that_o from_o

and_o a_o desire_n of_o some_o great_a liberty_n than_o they_o enjoy_v under_o it_o why_o then_o shall_v it_o be_v now_o think_v a_o unjust_a thing_n for_o a_o sovereign_a prince_n so_o near_o relate_v to_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n to_o espouse_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o religion_n and_o civil_a interest_n when_o the_o design_n be_v so_o apparent_a for_o the_o suppress_v they_o if_o that_o opportunity_n have_v be_v lose_v they_o may_v before_o this_o time_n have_v be_v past_o all_o reasonable_a hope_n of_o recovery_n ii_o but_o suppose_v this_o be_v allow_v yet_o here_o be_v another_o difficulty_n arise_v concern_v the_o transfer_v allegiance_n from_o a_o lawful_a prince_n to_o he_o that_o meet_v with_o unexpected_a success_n in_o his_o design_n and_o here_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o make_v it_o plain_a that_o this_o be_v not_o against_o the_o doctrine_n and_o principle_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n if_o we_o allow_v the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o have_v declare_v its_o sense_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o government_n it_o can_v only_o be_v with_o respect_n to_o subject_n but_o i_o think_v the_o measure_n of_o our_o obedience_n be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v from_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o church_n but_o from_o the_o law_n of_o the_o realm_n because_o they_o be_v not_o the_o same_o in_o all_o country_n where_o the_o same_o religion_n be_v profess_v as_o be_v plain_a in_o the_o case_n of_o france_n and_o poland_n the_o reason_n of_o the_o different_a measure_n in_o these_o country_n be_v not_o from_o the_o church_n but_o from_o the_o different_a constitution_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o church_n can_v alter_v the_o fundamental_a law_n for_o the_o church_n only_o enforce_v the_o duty_n of_o obedience_n on_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n but_o it_o do_v not_o prescribe_v or_o limit_v the_o bound_n of_o it_o whether_o our_o monarchy_n be_v absolute_a or_o limit_v or_o if_o limit_a whether_o in_o its_o exercise_n of_o power_n or_o in_o the_o right_n of_o sovereignty_n how_o far_o the_o limitation_n give_v a_o right_a of_o resistance_n in_o case_n of_o the_o breach_n of_o it_o be_v nice_a question_n but_o not_o to_o be_v resolve_v by_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o church_n but_o by_o our_o legal_a constitution_n and_o the_o general_n reason_n of_o mankind_n and_o therefore_o in_o such_o case_n where_o the_o right_a of_o war_n and_o a_o foreign_a power_n be_v concern_v we_o be_v not_o to_o judge_v mere_o by_o municipal_a law_n but_o we_o be_v to_o proceed_v by_o a_o more_o general_a law_n viz._n that_o of_o nation_n which_o take_v in_o the_o effect_n of_o a_o just_a war_n which_o the_o particular_a law_n of_o a_o country_n have_v n●_n regard_n to_o but_o where_o have_v the_o church_n of_o england_n declare_v its_o sense_n about_o the_o right_n of_o war_n the_o article_n of_o our_o church_n declare_v that_o the_o chief_a government_n of_o all_o
