upon_o we_o with_o respect_n when_o we_o pay_v he_o all_o legal_a obedience_n out_o of_o conscience_n and_o venture_v our_o life_n and_o fortune_n in_o defence_n of_o his_o crown_n and_o dignity_n

but_o i_o shall_v think_v that_o if_o we_o may_v not_o resist_v he_o in_o his_o illegal_a and_o arbitrary_a command_n we_o ought_v in_o conscience_n to_o assist_v he_o in_o his_o legal_a command_n especial_o in_o the_o preservation_n of_o his_o person_n crown_n and_o dignity_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a that_o the_o late_a king_n will_v have_v call_v this_o a_o seditious_a and_o rebellious_a

the_o king_n have_v better_o be_v tell_v that_o in_o the_o same_o case_n they_o will_v not_o assist_v he_o they_o will_v resist_v that_o be_v in_o case_n of_o universal_a oppression_n i_o will_v

nor_o see_v your_o innocent_a blood_n shed_v take_v my_o master_n lord_n and_o king_n and_o do_v what_o you_o will_v with_o he_o here_o i_o must_v desire_v the_o dr._n to_o reflect_v upon_o his_o

consider_v that_o distinction_n of_o the_o efficient_a cause_n mention_v by_o the_o schoolman_n it_o be_v either_o 1._o physical_a or_o 2._o moral_a the_o physical_a cause_n be_v that_o which_o have_v

in_o our_o case_n defensive_a arm_n be_v lawful_a 2._o king_n william_n and_o queen_n mary_n with_o their_o true_a friend_n can_v be_v justify_v no_o other_o way_n 3._o this_o doctrine_n as_o i_o
