resolve_v into_o three_o general_a cause_n and_o first_o they_o be_v occasion_v by_o spread_v dangerous_a position_n and_o seditious_a principle_n among_o the_o multitude_n for_o when_o the_o people_n be_v teach_v that_o they_o be_v the_o supreme_a power_n and_o all_o civil_a authority_n be_v derive_v original_o from_o they_o that_o there_o be_v a_o mutual_a compact_n between_o a_o prince_n and_o his_o subject_n and_o that_o if_o he_o perform_v not_o his_o duty_n they_o be_v dischar_n ge_v from_o they_o why_o it_o be_v only_o give_v out_o that_o the_o prince_n have_v forfeit_v his_o trust_n and_o be_v accountable_a for_o the_o breach_n of_o that_o power_n with_o which_o he_o be_v entrust_v and_o then_o the_o next_o thing_n by_o course_n follow_v to_o depose_v or_o murder_v he_o and_o he_o fall_v just_o too_o by_o the_o sword_n for_o those_o which_o they_o call_v his_o crime_n and_o misdemeanour_n again_o what_o great_a encouragement_n can_v possible_o be_v give_v to_o conspire_v against_o a_o government_n and_o contrive_v its_o utter_a subversion_n then_o when_o man_n be_v tell_v public_o that_o self_n preservation_n be_v such_o a_o fundamental_a law_n of_o nature_n as_o superseed_n the_o obligation_n of_o all_o other_o which_o stand_v in_o competition_n with_o it_o and_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o their_o own_o defence_n and_o the_o defence_n of_o their_o religion_n to_o enter_v into_o what_o league_n covenant_n or_o association_n they_o please_v even_o against_o the_o will_n and_o consent_n of_o the_o supreme_a magistrate_n and_o can_v there_o be_v any_o high_a incentive_a to_o rebellion_n in_o the_o world_n then_o to_o preach_v among_o the_o rabble_n that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n concern_v patient_a suffering_n of_o injury_n be_v not_o incompatible_a with_o take_v up_o arm_n against_o our_o government_n and_o that_o resistance_n of_o superior_n be_v a_o thing_n very_o lawful_a where_o our_o right_n and_o liberty_n be_v invade_v by_o they_o nay_o once_o more_o when_o rebellion_n grow_v prosperous_a and_o conspiracy_n be_v crown_v with_o success_n when_o victory_n fly_v to_o the_o side_n of_o oppressor_n and_o king_n be_v lead_v in_o triumph_n for_o a_o spectacle_n to_o the_o multitude_n tell_v the_o people_n but_o then_o as_o it_o be_v teach_v they_o in_o the_o late_a war_n that_o possession_n and_o strength_n give_v a_o right_a to_o govern_v and_o success_n in_o a_o cause_n or_o enterprise_n proclaim_v it_o to_o be_v lawful_a and_o just_a and_o to_o pursue_v it_o be_v to_o comply_v with_o the_o will_n of_o god_n because_o it_o be_v to_o follow_v the_o conduct_n of_o his_o providence_n and_o i_o defy_v any_o better_a method_n to_o instigate_v they_o afresh_o then_o this_o will_v prove_v for_o it_o push_v they_o forward_o upon_o new_a attempt_n and_o it_o make_v they_o so_o dare_v and_o desperate_a in_o that_o cause_n which_o they_o believe_v god_n himself_o have_v own_a so_o providential_o that_o they_o will_v cabal_n and_o plott_n and_o mutiny_n and_o fight_n against_o all_o who_o shall_v oppose_v they_o in_o their_o resolve_n and_o design_n be_v still_o flush_v with_o hope_n of_o a_o glorious_a success_n and_o than_o to_o god_n will_v never_o desert_v that_o people_n or_o that_o cause_n for_o which_o once_o he_o do_v so_o signal_o interpose_v his_o mighty_a providence_n thus_o where_o man_n have_v once_o suck_v in_o such_o dangerous_a principle_n as_o these_o they_o scruple_n not_o to_o act_v according_a to_o those_o principle_n and_o they_o must_v needs_o prove_v very_o pernicious_a in_o order_n to_o the_o undermine_v the_o peace_n and_o prosperity_n of_o that_o state_n where_o they_o be_v entertain_v because_o they_o be_v the_o very_a bane_n of_o all_o obedience_n

avarice_n though_o above_o twenty_o year_n experience_n do_v full_o attest_v the_o contrary_n a_o reign_n where_o law_n and_o justice_n be_v never_o stretch_v unless_o to_o mercy_n and_o indulgence_n a_o reign_n where_o too_o easy_a forgiveness_n and_o receive_v his_o pardon_v enemy_n the_o warm_a ungrateful_a snake_n too_o near_o into_o the_o bosom_n of_o majesty_n and_o too_o high_a into_o his_o
