as_o perhaps_o you_o will_v have_v i_o think_v you_o take_v it_o as_o be_v the_o more_o gentle_a then_o in_o that_o new_a sense_n which_o this_o boisterous_a age_n do_v i_o conceive_v by_o a_o

position_n be_v of_o the_o privy_a council_n to_o this_o resist_a generation_n we_o may_v suspect_v two_o thing_n from_o these_o their_o word_n if_o they_o do_v not_o flander_v 1._o that_o the_o present_a war_n be_v not_o principal_o against_o those_o that_o be_v with_o the_o king_n as_o the_o common_a people_n be_v make_v to_o believe_v but_o rather_o against_o the_o king_n own_o person_n indeed_o that_o voice_n to_o fight_v against_o the_o king_n will_v call_v together_o but_o little_a money_n and_o few_o man_n in_o this_o nation_n nor_o can_v all_o that_o look_v that_o way_n hope_v to_o wear_v the_o king_n crown_n but_o they_o may_v promise_v to_o themselves_o a_o portion_n in_o the_o estate_n of_o the_o king_n friend_n who_o if_o he_o perish_v which_o god_n defend_v be_v sure_a to_o fall_v with_o he_o 2._o that_o this_o war_n be_v not_o to_o defend_v religion_n as_o the_o ignorant_a also_o be_v persuade_v but_o only_o to_o cross_v the_o king_n that_o he_o may_v not_o have_v his_o will_n indeed_o the_o great_a and_o only_a controversy_n between_o god_n and_o man_n be_v who_o will_n shall_v be_v do_v no_o marvel_n if_o a_o good_a king_n be_v in_o god_n condition_n against_o the_o king_n personal_a will_n when_o it_o contradict_v his_o law_n i_o suppose_v the_o reason_n be_v because_o we_o must_v love_v the_o law_n better_a than_o we_o do_v the_o king_n the_o fountain_n of_o it_o but_o how_o if_o the_o king_n will_v be_v concurrent_a with_o his_o law_n how_o if_o he_o not_o only_o protest_v he_o will_v but_o actual_o do_v adventure_v his_o sacred_a person_n to_o defend_v his_o law_n i_o hope_v in_o such_o a_o case_n it_o will_v be_v yield_v without_o dispute_n that_o resistance_n be_v unlawful_a because_o haply_o it_o will_v be_v suspect_v that_o those_o that_o make_v it_o do_v bear_v as_o ill_o a_o affection_n to_o the_o law_n itself_o as_o fear_v a_o trial_n by_o it_o as_o they_o do_v unto_o the_o king_n who_o will_v bring_v they_o to_o it_o but_o that_o be_v not_o our_o case_n you_o will_v say_v if_o you_o mean_v that_o which_o yourself_o have_v put_v i_o grant_v the_o case_n concern_v not_o we_o but_o why_o then_o be_v the_o position_n of_o lawful_a resistance_n now_o preach_v do_v any_o purpose_n in_o aftertime_n to_o get_v their_o king_n into_o a_o straight_a and_o so_o force_v in_o he_o some_o breach_n of_o law_n to_o gain_v advantage_n of_o resistance_n and_o therefore_o will_v have_v people_n by_o this_o doctrine_n ready_a prepare_v before_o hand_n to_o aid_v they_o against_o he_o on_o the_o sudden_a without_o scruple_n well_o yet_o i_o hope_v the_o conscience_n of_o true_a protestant_a subject_n will_v never_o swallow_v this_o principle_n but_o concern_v the_o position_n i_o conceive_v it_o be_v build_v partly_o upon_o that_o distinction_n already_o dislike_v as_o improper_a special_o for_o subject_n to_o make_v use_n of_o it_o be_v indeed_o of_o evil_a and_o dangerous_a consequence_n namely_o that_o a_o king_n may_v be_v consider_v as_o a_o man_n without_o his_o office_n and_o as_o a_o king_n in_o his_o office_n for_o in_o a_o hereditary_a kingdom_n the_o king_n right_a to_o regality_n be_v at_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o personality_n they_o be_v bear_v and_o they_o die_v together_o and_o therefore_o not_o so_o much_o as_o lie_v subject_n to_o be_v consider_v asunder_o indeed_o the_o king_n himself_o may_v use_v this_o distinction_n in_o the_o case_n of_o pardon_v those_o that_o offend_v his_o person_n as_o he_o be_v a_o christian_n he_o may_v forgive_v for_o he_o be_v not_o bear_v a_o christian_a though_o a_o prince_n but_o those_o that_o offend_v he_o as_o he_o be_v pater_fw-la patriae_fw-la as_o by_o stir_v up_o rebellion_n in_o the_o commonwealth_n and_o by_o shed_v the_o blood_n of_o his_o innocent_a subject_n he_o must_v punish_v in_o regard_n of_o his_o office_n i_o confess_v it_o be_v a_o sin_n of_o a_o purple_a dye_n to_o offend_v the_o person_n of_o a_o prince_n but_o true_a magnanimity_n can_v pardon_v great_a fault_n special_o when_o none_o be_v offend_v thereby_o but_o he_o that_o pardon_v again_o i_o conceive_v the_o distinction_n between_o the_o king_n
