they_o and_o to_o set_v tyrant_n in_o their_o place_n and_o then_o even_o those_o tyrant_n be_v of_o god_n set_v up_o and_o be_v therefore_o to_o be_v own_v as_o supreme_a and_o obey_v as_o long_o as_o god_n please_v to_o continue_v they_o over_o we_o but_o here_o i_o be_o afresh_o assault_v with_o another_o objection_n so_o hard_o it_o be_v to_o struggle_v through_o this_o difficult_a case_n what!_o say_v you_o god_n be_v please_v to_o work_v by_o mean_n miracle_n be_v now_o cease_v and_o therefore_o if_o we_o ourselves_o put_v not_o to_o our_o hand_n to_o pull_v down_o such_o usurper_n but_o fond_o own_v they_o still_o to_o be_v supreme_a and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v resist_v we_o may_v long_o look_v before_o we_o be_v deliver_v and_o perhaps_o may_v offend_v god_n by_o slip_v those_o opportunity_n which_o may_v seem_v for_o that_o purpose_n to_o be_v put_v into_o our_o hand_n but_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o god_n who_o have_v the_o power_n of_o life_n and_o death_n be_v not_o so_o unprepared_a of_o instrument_n of_o death_n as_o for_o want_v of_o other_o to_o make_v always_o use_v of_o one_o he_o have_v a_o store_n house_n as_o i_o may_v say_v of_o accident_n and_o disease_n out_o of_o which_o he_o may_v choose_v any_o one_o sufficient_a to_o put_v a_o period_n to_o the_o day_n of_o the_o great_a monarch_n he_o can_v kill_v a_o king_n as_o soon_o by_o a_o fever_n as_o suffer_v a_o rebel_n to_o kill_v he_o and_o therefore_o though_o david_n know_v that_o saul_n be_v to_o be_v unkinged_a nay_o and_o that_o he_o too_o be_v to_o succeed_v yet_o so_o far_o be_v he_o from_o be_v of_o abishai_n opinion_n that_o then_o be_v the_o opportunity_n to_o kill_v he_o and_o that_o then_o god_n have_v deliver_v he_o into_o his_o hand_n when_o they_o find_v he_o asleep_o with_o the_o spear_n at_o his_o head_n so_o far_o i_o say_v be_v he_o from_o be_v of_o his_o opinion_n and_o take_v this_o opportunity_n that_o he_o will_v neither_o do_v it_o himself_o nor_o suffer_v he_o to_o do_v it_o but_o pious_o and_o prudent_o tell_v abishai_n that_o god_n have_v mean_n of_o his_o own_o to_o do_v it_o by_o and_o need_v not_o to_o be_v behold_v to_o they_o to_o do_v it_o by_o such_o illegal_a mean_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v to_o expect_v his_o leisure_n as_o the_o lord_n live_v say_v he_o the_o lord_n shall_v smite_v he_o or_o his_o day_n shall_v come_v to_o die_v or_o he_o shall_v descend_v into_o the_o battle_n and_o perish_v the_o lord_n forbid_v that_o i_o shall_v stretch_v forth_o my_o hand_n against_o the_o lord_n be_v anoint_v and_o therefore_o let_v no_o rebel_n think_v that_o because_o god_n have_v a_o mind_n to_o put_v down_o a_o king_n that_o yet_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o less_o guilty_a who_o stretch_v forth_o his_o hand_n to_o do_v it_o and_o now_o i_o have_v with_o what_o scrutiny_n i_o can_v discuss_v these_o two_o preliminary_a query_n in_o the_o answer_v the_o first_o of_o which_o there_o be_v little_a difficulty_n it_o be_v a_o general_o receive_v maxim_n and_o warrantable_a by_o the_o daily_a practice_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n the_o main_a difficulty_n lie_v in_o the_o second_o which_o i_o think_v i_o have_v remove_v to_o my_o own_o if_o not_o to_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o other_o and_o have_v make_v it_o out_o both_o by_o reason_n and_o example_n and_o at_o the_o sametime_o remove_v all_o the_o objection_n that_o may_v make_v against_o it_o that_o he_o be_v not_o king_n and_o supreme_a who_o be_v once_o king_n but_o be_v depose_v but_o he_o be_v supreme_a who_o be_v actual_o in_o power_n and_o possess_v of_o the_o throne_n and_o now_o let_v we_o take_v a_o estimate_n of_o our_o present_a affair_n by_o what_o have_v be_v here_o say_v it_o be_v certain_a never_o prince_n have_v just_a ground_n of_o war_n than_o this_o prince_n have_v first_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o true_a religion_n which_o be_v groan_v under_o the_o grow_a tyranny_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n we_o have_v a_o king_n so_o bigoted_a to_o popery_n that_o for_o its_o propagation_n he_o question_v not_o to_o break_v all_o that_o be_v most_o bind_a all_o promise_n of_o his_o own_o and_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n which_o he_o swear_v to_o maintain_v so_o that_o he_o may_v very_o well_o be_v rank_v among_o those_o king_n who_o saying_n be_v let_v we_o break_v their_o band_n asunder_o and_o cast_v away_o their_o cord_n from_o we_o but_o let_v i_o not_o reflect_v too_o much_o upon_o a_o person_n who_o be_v yet_o upon_o several_a account_n to_o be_v respect_v by_o we_o let_v we_o rather_o admire_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n who_o have_v send_v this_o prince_n as_o another_o constantine_n to_o deliver_v we_o from_o these_o impend_a ruin_n for_o we_o may_v well_o say_v if_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o send_v we_o this_o deliverer_n they_o have_v swallow_v we_o up_o alive_a when_o they_o be_v so_o wrathful_o displease_v at_o we_o second_o he_o have_v just_a cause_n of_o war_n to_o defend_v his_o own_o right_a which_o the_o adverse_a party_n labour_v to_o debar_v he_o of_o there_o be_v little_a good_a intend_v he_o when_o stranger_n papist_n and_o jesuit_n his_o profess_a enemy_n be_v set_v to_o manage_v affair_n and_o be_v acquaint_v with_o all_o the_o intrigue_n of_o court_n and_o yet_o neither_o he_o nor_o any_o for_o he_o be_v in_o the_o least_o concern_v or_o take_v any_o notice_n of_o and_o when_o their_o young_a prince_n be_v to_o be_v bear_v they_o do_v so_o industrious_o conceal_v all_o thing_n from_o he_o that_o they_o may_v as_o well_o have_v send_v he_o word_n that_o they_o intend_v to_o cheat_v he_o he_o have_v just_a cause_n therefore_o to_o vindicate_v himself_o and_o his_o right_n from_o the_o abuse_n of_o such_o insolent_a court-parasite_n and_o impostor_n and_o though_o it_o be_v true_a he_o can_v claim_v no_o right_n by_o way_n of_o succession_n as_o long_o as_o his_o father_n live_v yet_o as_o a_o foreign_a prince_n he_o may_v seek_v satisfaction_n for_o the_o affront_n which_o be_v put_v upon_o he_o by_o such_o underhand_a and_o illegal_a deal_n three_o as_o the_o cause_n of_o his_o war_n be_v just_a so_o the_o success_n be_v thereunto_o answerable_a never_o prince_n be_v in_o a_o undertake_v more_o apparent_o favour_v by_o heaven_n but_o it_o be_v needless_a for_o i_o to_o enlarge_v upon_o all_o the_o happy_a occurence_n of_o this_o expedition_n since_o the_o learned_a dr._n burnet_n who_o be_v a_o eye-witness_n of_o they_o all_o have_v already_o do_v it_o in_o his_o sermon_n which_o be_v almost_o in_o every_o man_n hand_n and_o therefore_o i_o refer_v you_o to_o it_o this_o i_o will_v only_o say_v that_o never_o king_n come_v to_o a_o crown_n with_o less_o bloodshed_n with_o great_a applause_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o the_o people_n and_o therefore_o since_o as_o i_o have_v make_v it_o appear_v even_o those_o who_o come_v illegal_o to_o a_o crown_n be_v yet_o when_o full_o possess_v of_o it_o to_o be_v own_a as_o supreme_a certain_o king_n william_n who_o cause_n of_o war_n be_v so_o just_a and_o so_o miraculous_o victorious_a and_o who_o proclamation_n over_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n be_v so_o joyous_a to_o all_o that_o in_o all_o place_n where_o it_o be_v read_v it_o may_v very_o well_o be_v say_v the_o shout_n of_o a_o king_n be_v among_o they_o certain_o i_o say_v he_o be_v supreme_a he_o be_v of_o god_n set_v up_o and_o then_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o if_o he_o be_v supreme_a the_o late_a king_n be_v not_o for_o there_o can_v be_v two_o supremes_n and_o then_o it_o will_v follow_v again_o that_o the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n and_o supremacy_n which_o we_o take_v to_o the_o other_o king_n be_v now_o quite_o out_o of_o door_n all_o supremacy_n which_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o these_o oath_n be_v now_o quite_o lose_v in_o the_o late_a king._n and_o then_o last_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o since_o king_n william_n be_v supreme_a we_o be_v in_o duty_n bind_v to_o pay_v he_o all_o that_o honour_n and_o service_n which_o be_v due_a to_o a_o supreme_a and_o then_o since_o swear_v of_o allegiance_n have_v always_o be_v own_a as_o due_a to_o the_o supreme_a power_n from_o the_o subject_a it_o be_v our_o duty_n when_o put_v upon_o it_o to_o swear_v allegiance_n to_o he_o too_o and_o therefore_o if_o i_o may_v be_v so_o bold_a to_o say_v so_o i_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o error_n in_o any_o to_o say_v no_o worse_o of_o it_o who_o refuse_v to_o do_v it_o as_o for_o my_o own_o part_n as_o i_o have_v always_o be_v obedient_a to_o my_o supreme_a so_o i_o shall_v always_o be_v obedient_a to_o to_o king_n william_n and_o queen_n marry_o who_o supremacy_n over_o we_o i_o pray_v god_n long_o to_o continue_v finis_fw-la
