from_o govern_v because_o king_n be_v no_o other_o but_o more_o high_a and_o supreme_a governor_n and_o magistrate_n now_o some_o hold_n and_o i_o think_v warrantable_o that_o if_o any_o magistrate_n

do_v he_o be_v to_o be_v hold_v as_o a_o private_a person_n and_o as_o such_o we_o may_v defend_v ourselves_o against_o he_o as_o for_o example_n a_o woman_n may_v defend_v she_o own_o body_n

he_o misgovern_v th●_n ship_n to_o their_o certain_a shipwreck_n without_o prevention_n because_o by_o his_o so_o govern_v thereof_o he_o hazard_v both_o his_o own_o life_n and_o they_o and_o they_o by_o hold_v of_o his_o hand_n prevent_v both_o he_o and_o their_o own_o ruin_n which_o seem●_n to_o be_v our_o present_a ease_n and_o therefore_o much_o more_o may_v the_o whole_a body_n defend_v
