yet_o he_o be_v unresistible_a and_o to_o be_v subject_v to_o active_o in_o lawful_a thing_n and_o passive_o in_o unlawful_a my_o reason_n be_v because_o even_o those_o act_n notwithstanding_o

the_o people_n as_o the_o doctor_n say_v he_o must_v have_v a_o unlimited_a power_n in_o respect_n of_o act_n of_o government_n for_o god_n ordinance_n be_v not_o only_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v

what_o as_o appear_v in_o the_o debate_n in_o the_o end_n of_o my_o treatise_n may_v soon_o be_v answer_v out_o of_o the_o declaration_n of_o the_o house_n and_o the_o fresh_a memory_n of_o past_a occurrent_n and_o in_o this_o reply_n he_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o touch_v upon_o that_o chapt._n of_o my_o book_n but_o that_o which_o in_o his_o first_o tract_n he_o main_o and_o in_o this_o reply_n he_o sole_o labour_v to_o make_v good_a be_v the_o first_o assertion_n which_o be_v a_o universal_a one_o and_o worthy_a to_o be_v examine_v in_o all_o age_n and_o government_n whatsoever_o become_v of_o this_o present_a contention_n in_o this_o kingdom_n now_o concern_v that_o thesis_n in_o my_o treatise_n of_o monarchy_n i_o have_v affirm_v and_o confirm_v two_o thing_n 1._o that_o if_o he_o can_v make_v it_o good_a yet_o it_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o business_n he_o have_v undertake_v which_o be_v to_o satisfy_v the_o conscience_n concern_v the_o unlawfulnesse_n of_o resist_a instrument_n not_o the_o king_n of_o which_o he_o have_v speak_v very_o little_a or_o nothing_o at_o all_o 2._o that_o if_o he_o can_v prove_v that_o in_o some_o kingdom_n where_o the_o will_n of_o the_o king_n be_v the_o people_n law_n resistance_n of_o instrument_n be_v unlawful_a if_o actuate_v by_o the_o sovereign_n will_n yet_o in_o legal_a and_o limit_a government_n it_o do_v not_o follow_v to_o be_v true_a yet_o this_o he_o must_v make_v good_a if_o in_o our_o present_a case_n he_o satisfy_v man_n conscience_n as_o he_o undertake_v these_o two_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o my_o answer_n to_o the_o doctor_n in_o that_o treatise_n and_o if_o in_o this_o reply_n he_o do_v any_o thing_n he_o must_v speak_v to_o these_o point_n something_o he_o have_v here_o speak_v concern_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n in_o supremacy_n of_o case_n of_o resistance_n of_o kind_n of_o monarchy_n of_o the_o constitution_n of_o this_o monarchy_n but_o how_o true_o and_o satisfactory_o it_o be_v my_o part_n to_o examine_v and_o let_v the_o world_n judge_n but_o as_o if_o he_o have_v already_o clear_v the_o matter_n he_o proceed_v to_o give_v sentence_n before_o the_o cause_n be_v hear_v and_o doubt_v not_o to_o call_v the_o contrary_a resolution_n a_o blaspheme_v of_o god_n and_o the_o king_n p_o 4._o i_o answer_v if_o there_o be_v any_o which_o will_v defend_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o take_v arm_n against_o the_o king_n and_o in_o any_o case_n to_o resist_v the_o power_n they_o cross_v the_o evident_a truth_n of_o scripture_n and_o i_o condemn_v they_o yet_o i_o think_v the_o doctor_n deal_v somewhat_o severe_o with_o they_o to_o call_v they_o blasphemer_n of_o god_n for_o every_o error_n about_o the_o word_n be_v not_o blasphemy_n but_o a_o wilful_a and_o obstinate_a speak_v evil_a of_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n likewise_o concern_v a_o king_n if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o he_o be_v seduce_v then_o it_o be_v no_o blasphemy_n which_o always_o be_v a_o falsehood_n if_o it_o be_v false_a yet_o it_o be_v inhuman_a to_o call_v it_o a_o blaspheme_a when_o it_o impute_v nothing_o to_o he_o but_o to_o be_v seduce_v which_o the_o best_a and_o most_o innocent_a

what_o he_o intend_v in_o this_o present_a book_n sc_fw-la that_o he_o will_v clear_v this_o point_n that_o the_o doctrine_n teach_v that_o subject_n may_v take_v arm_n against_o their_o sovereign_n for_o the_o defence_n of_o religion_n and_o liberty_n when_o in_o danger_n of_o subversion_n be_v destitute_a of_o scripture_n and_o true_a reason_n as_o i_o say_v still_o he_o drive_v at_o a_o vain_a scope_n to_o prove_v that_o which_o none_o deny_v let_v he_o prove_v that_o in_o our_o kingdom_n resistance_n of_o subversive_a instrument_n be_v a_o take_a arm_n against_o their_o sovereign_n and_o

of_o this_o dispute_n second_o upon_o the_o examination_n of_o reason_n it_o will_v appear_v how_o inconsistent_a such_o a_o power_n of_o resistance_n in_o subject_n be_v with_o government_n etc._n
