prynne_n new_a language_n he_o render_v active_a in_o signification_n but_o the_o old_a cause_n set_v up_o oligarchy_n tyranny_n and_o martial_n government_n these_o be_v such_o synonima_n to_o

both_o any_o man_n but_o mr_n prynne_n will_v think_v it_o impossible_a how_o shall_v it_o set_v up_o a_o anarchy_n which_o be_v a_o 〈◊〉_d of_o all_o government_n whereas_o oligarchy_n tyranny_n

and_o so_o not_o to_o be_v compose_v by_o positive_a act_n but_o why_o shall_v you_o or_o anybody_o expect_v philosophy_n where_o there_o be_v no_o sense_n till_o it_o be_v prove_v that_o our_o old_a

will_v say_v that_o he_o prove_v monarchy_n to_o be_v the_o best_a of_o government_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o ill_a and_o not_o good_a cause_n how_o old_a soever_o that_o pull_v down_o kingship_n true_o sir_n this_o lawyer_n logic_n be_v as_o bad_a as_o lawyer_n latin_a for_o though_o our_o late_a governor_n be_v call_v king_n they_o be_v no_o monarch_n the_o latter_a be_v a_o name_n for_o

king_n can_v act_v no_o such_o thing_n if_o the_o trial_n and_o deposition_n of_o former_a king_n do_v not_o prove_v their_o subjection_n to_o coercion_n yet_o in_o that_o they_o can_v do_v nothing_o in_o tax_n or_o law-making_n but_o by_o the_o advice_n and_o consent_n of_o parliament_n they_o be_v no_o monarch_n thus_o all_o his_o text_n which_o make_v for_o monarchy_n do_v no_o way_n render_v the_o pull_n down_o of_o kingship_n illegal_a or_o r●sh_n but_o rather_o in_o part_n prudential_a since_o that_o be_v not_o the_o best_a form_n of_o government_n as_o mr._n prynne_n confess_v monarchy_n must_v have_v that_o pre-eminence_n and_o so_o slavery_n become_v the_o best_a of_o condition_n i_o hope_v the_o assembly_n at_o lincolns-inn_n will_v keep_v a_o fast_n for_o the_o good_a
