therefore_o consider_v the_o case_n of_o the_o late_a k._n j._n with_o relation_n to_o plea_n of_o this_o kind_n all_o that_o ever_o i_o can_v hear_v say_v against_o his_o abdication_n and_o desertion_n be_v that_o he_o be_v drive_v out_o of_o his_o kingdom_n by_o just_a and_o reasonable_a fear_n and_o therefore_o leave_v his_o throne_n very_o unwilling_o and_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o divest_v himself_o of_o royal_a authority_n but_o only_o to_o reserve_v himself_o for_o better_a time_n till_o he_o can_v return_v to_o his_o throne_n by_o force_n and_o power_n all_o this_o i_o very_o believe_v be_v true_a that_o he_o go_v away_o unwilling_o and_o hope_v to_o return_v again_o with_o power_n and_o have_v no_o mind_n no_o intention_n to_o part_v with_o his_o kingdom_n for_o ever_o but_o what_o will_v they_o prove_v by_o all_o this_o will_v they_o prove_v that_o the_o late_a king_n do_v not_o leave_v his_o throne_n or_o that_o when_o he_o have_v leave_v it_o the_o throne_n be_v not_o empty_a which_o be_v to_o prove_v that_o he_o do_v not_o leave_v his_o throne_n or_o that_o though_o he_o leave_v it_o it_o be_v not_o empty_a because_o he_o leave_v it_o and_o leave_v it_o empty_a in_o a_o fright_n or_o will_v they_o prove_v that_o his_o go_v away_o in_o a_o fright_n be_v not_o a_o voluntary_a resignation_n of_o his_o throne_n i_o care_v not_o much_o if_o i_o grant_v this_o too_o if_o they_o will_v but_o grant_v that_o it_o be_v a_o leave_v it_o for_o to_o leave_v a_o throne_n give_v subject_n a_o right_a to_o fill_v it_o as_o well_o as_o a_o voluntary_a resignation_n do_v because_o the_o throne_n must_v be_v full_a or_o government_n cease_v and_o a_o king_n that_o leave_v his_o throne_n though_o he_o know_v it_o must_v be_v fill_v if_o he_o leave_v it_o do_v that_o by_o leave_v his_o throne_n which_o he_o who_o resign_v it_o do_v by_o a_o formal_a instrument_n of_o resignation_n that_o be_v he_o signify_v to_o his_o subject_n that_o he_o will_v govern_v they_o but_o they_o must_v shift_v for_o themselves_o for_o it_o be_v not_o at_o the_o will_n of_o a_o prince_n whether_o a_o kingdom_n shall_v be_v govern_v or_o not_o and_o when_o the_o king_n have_v leave_v they_o it_o seem_v more_o regular_a and_o legal_a to_o place_v the_o next_o heir_n on_o the_o throne_n than_o to_o set_v up_o any_o other_o person_n or_o government_n the_o reason_n then_o why_o subject_n shall_v not_o have_v fill_v the_o throne_n when_o the_o late_a king_n have_v leave_v it_o empty_a aught_o to_o be_v resolve_v into_o the_o reason_n of_o his_o go_v away_o what_o they_o be_v be_v sufficient_o know_v and_o i_o believe_v no_o english_a protestant_n who_o love_v the_o religion_n and_o liberty_n of_o his_o country_n will_v say_v that_o they_o be_v such_o reason_n as_o will_v excuse_v or_o justify_v his_o leave_v they_o or_o make_v it_o the_o duty_n of_o subject_n to_o recall_v he_o the_o only_a visible_a reason_n of_o his_o leave_v we_o be_v this_o that_o if_o he_o stay_v he_o must_v be_v under_o a_o necessity_n to_o call_v a_o parliament_n and_o he_o be_v resolve_v not_o to_o venture_v his_o cause_n with_o they_o not_o to_o suffer_v they_o to_o censure_n and_o redress_v the_o miscarriage_n of_o his_o government_n not_o to_o part_v with_o his_o dispense_v power_n not_o to_o give_v such_o security_n as_o a_o parliament_n will_v have_v demand_v for_o the_o preservation_n of_o their_o law_n liberty_n and_o religion_n that_o be_v he_o be_v resolve_v to_o be_v no_o king_n or_o to_o be_v absolute_a and_o arbitrary_a and_o let_v any_o man_n judge_n whether_o this_o be_v not_o a_o good_a reason_n for_o subject_n to_o take_v the_o advantage_n which_o he_o have_v give_v they_o and_o to_o fill_v the_o throne_n which_o he_o have_v make_v empty_a to_o renounce_v a_o legal_a government_n be_v to_o renounce_v the_o crown_n of_o england_n and_o he_o who_o leave_v the_o throne_n to_o avoid_v the_o necessity_n of_o govern_v by_o law_n may_v get_v it_o again_o when_o he_o can_v but_o subject_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o give_v it_o he_o they_o know_v for_o what_o reason_n he_o part_v with_o it_o and_o to_o restore_v it_o to_o he_o will_v be_v a_o plain_a consent_n that_o he_o shall_v have_v it_o upon_o his_o own_o term_n i_o know_v it_o be_v pretend_v that_o he_o have_v reason_n to_o fear_v that_o his_o person_n be_v not_o safe_a in_o england_n and_o that_o be_v the_o true_a reason_n why_o he_o withdraw_v into_o france_n but_o this_o be_v so_o unreasonable_a a_o fear_n have_v he_o resolve_v to_o have_v comply_v with_o the_o parliament_n that_o it_o seem_v rather_o to_o be_v a_o plausible_a pretence_n than_o the_o true_a cause_n of_o his_o withdraw_n the_o prince_n indeed_o be_v land_v with_o a_o considerable_a force_n and_o the_o king_n be_v desert_v by_o some_o of_o his_o subject_n who_o declare_v for_o the_o prince_n and_o by_o part_n of_o his_o army_n that_o go_v over_o to_o he_o which_o i_o grant_v be_v reason_n enough_o for_o he_o to_o suspect_v that_o it_o be_v not_o safe_a for_o he_o to_o dispute_v this_o matter_n by_o the_o sword_n and_o defeat_v his_o hope_n of_o attain_v his_o irregular_a desire_n by_o a_o victory_n but_o it_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o think_v that_o his_o person_n be_v not_o safe_a will_v he_o have_v call_v a_o parliament_n and_o refer_v
