for_o fear_v of_o wildr_v our_o understanding_n then_o i_o confess_v all_o revolution_n be_v alike_o to_o we_o and_o aught_o to_o be_v comply_v with_o however_o the_o doctor_n may_v have_v be_v a_o

more_o to_o say_v to_o return_v to_o the_o law_n which_o the_o doctor_n avoid_v as_o so_o many_o rock_n and_o shelf_n in_o dispute_n fit_v only_o to_o wrack_v conscience_n upon_o now_o this_o character_n as_o it_o be_v far_o from_o a_o compliment_n to_o the_o english_a constitution_n so_o it_o be_v somewhat_o surprise_v to_o one_o who_o remember_v that_o this_o gentleman_n have_v former_o

be_v understand_v and_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o that_o one_o principle_n which_o he_o say_v he_o have_v only_o renounce_v in_o that_o book_n there_o he_o assert_v the_o prerogative_n 196._o and_o maintain_v nonresistance_n from_o the_o constitution_n as_o well_o as_o from_o any_o other_o topick_n i_o wonder_v he_o shall_v lose_v his_o law_n after_o almost_o seven_o year_n improvement_n of_o

with_o the_o former_a and_o though_o i_o do_v pretend_v to_o know_v what_o the_o doctor_n be_v hatch_n in_o his_o heart_n yet_o i_o be_o afraid_a he_o have_v slip_v into_o this_o damnable_a and_o

king_n be_v very_o different_a thing_n now_o if_o they_o be_v so_o very_o different_a it_o be_v because_o they_o be_v separable_a from_o each_o other_o and_o if_o the_o crown_n may_v be_v diminish_v without_o injure_v the_o personal_a right_n of_o the_o king_n then_o the_o right_n of_o the_o crown_n be_v not_o tie_v to_o the_o king_n person_n that_o be_v in_o the_o spencer_n language_n

it_o seem_v to_o disturb_v all_o government_n and_o raise_v rebellion_n if_o we_o can_v to_o restore_v our_o king_n which_o be_v such_o absurd_a and_o unreasonable_a engagement_n 29._o that_o have_v

i_o can_v conceive_v what_o security_n this_o construction_n of_o the_o oath_n can_v give_v to_o a_o hereditary_a monarchy_n yes_o very_o much_o say_v the_o doctor_n for_o if_o the_o king_n die_v
