A90770	A Plea for succession in opposition to popular exclusion wherein it is evidenced, that an association, or any other such method, is a more immediate way to arbitrary power and a more certain road to popery than a standing up to the right of succession can in any reason be supposed to be : with some remarques on Coleman and his letters.		1682 (1682)	Wing P2516; ESTC R225594	23,646	20

therefore_o he_o will_v not_o resist_v he_o and_o to_o love_v his_o religion_n and_o for_o that_o reason_n he_o will_v not_o help_v to_o destroy_v it_o he_o have_v be_v teach_v in_o the_o same_o act_n

that_o we_o conceive_v we_o can_v defend_v our_o king_n but_o we_o must_v enable_v he_o to_o enslave_v ourselves_o and_o enemy_n together_o yet_o however_o we_o must_v do_v our_o duty_n and_o leave_v the_o event_n to_o god_n for_o we_o be_v not_o to_o sin_v ourselves_o that_o thereby_o we_o may_v prevent_v other_o from_o do_v so_o you_o cry_v popery_n be_v come_v and_o therefore_o rebel_n now_o we_o do_v not_o see_v the_o popery_n but_o we_o see_v the_o rebellion_n we_o can_v tell_v whether_o that_o will_v ever_o come_v but_o we_o see_v the_o other_o be_v come_v already_o now_o we_o be_v

the_o victory_n fall_v for_o if_o you_o be_v overcome_v we_o perish_v with_o you_o as_o malefactor_n but_o if_o you_o do_v overcome_v we_o be_v ruin_v by_o you_o and_o if_o we_o sit_v still_o you_o
