resistance_n all_o over_o and_o presuppose_v injustice_n oppression_n and_o persecution_n in_o all_o degree_n and_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o consider_v whether_o under_o a_o limit_a monarchy_n there_o can_v be_v any_o occasion_n for_o it_o till_o king_n break_v their_o oath_n and_o violate_v their_o law_n and_o exercise_v arbitrary_a power_n they_o must_v first_o invade_v the_o right_n of_o the_o people_n before_o they_o can_v be_v call_v to_o the_o exercise_n of_o this_o self-denying_a doctrine_n we_o can_v never_o suffer_v till_o our_o king_n begin_v to_o rule_v in_o a_o way_n subversive_a of_o the_o government_n nor_o ever_o suffer_v to_o any_o try_v degree_n of_o persecution_n till_o they_o set_v up_o illegal_a court_n or_o govern_v by_o the_o sword._n but_o perhaps_o you_o will_v say_v that_o single_a person_n or_o family_n ought_v to_o suffer_v but_o not_o the_o community_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o community_n be_v make_v up_o of_o single_a person_n and_o family_n and_o when_o one_o person_n or_o family_n or_o corporation_n suffer_v illegal_o in_o a_o common_a cause_n the_o whole_a community_n suffer_v with_o it_o and_o therefore_o to_o what_o purpose_n have_v this_o doctrine_n be_v so_o careful_o teach_v by_o our_o church_n and_o her_o divine_n and_o you_o among_o the_o rest_n unless_o we_o be_v to_o submit_v to_o our_o king_n when_o they_o turn_v tyrant_n and_o subvert_v the_o law_n our_o church_n and_o her_o clergy_n have_v all_o along_o teach_v the_o doctrine_n of_o suffer_v with_o a_o particular_a eye_n to_o this_o very_a case_n if_o god_n to_o punish_v we_o for_o our_o sin_n shall_v suffer_v our_o king_n to_o turn_v tyrant_n therefore_o we_o must_v either_o absolute_o disclaim_v it_o which_o you_o be_v unwilling_a to_o do_v or_o else_o suffer_v patient_o against_o law_n when_o there_o be_v no_o other_o remedy_n but_o arm_n which_o neither_o our_o religion_n nor_o the_o law_n which_o make_v it_o our_o porperty_n allow_v in_o the_o 9_o &_o 10._o pag._n you_o upbraid_v the_o compiler_n of_o the_o history_n as_o you_o call_v a_o single_a author_n with_o not_o assist_v k._n james_n and_o scoff_o ask_v they_o why_o they_o do_v not_o at_o least_o mind_n the_o people_n of_o their_o duty_n and_o excite_v they_o to_o it_o pray_v sir_n do_v you_o do_v so_o or_o no_o if_o you_o do_v not_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o will_v justify_v or_o excuse_v you_o will_v also_o justify_v or_o excuse_v they_o your_o conscience_n tell_v you_o that_o neither_o you_o nor_o they_o then_o think_v that_o the_o king_n covid_v have_v lose_v his_o kingdom_n and_o i_o must_v further_o tell_v you_o because_o you_o seem_v to_o pinch_v they_o with_o your_o question_n that_o several_a of_o they_o do_v at_o their_o great_a hazard_n remind_v their_o people_n of_o the_o duty_n of_o non_fw-fr resistance_n and_o particular_o the_o author_n of_o this_o book_n for_o though_o you_o be_v please_v to_o tell_v they_o that_o hazard_n ought_v not_o to_o discourage_v minister_n from_o a_o necessary_a duty_n yet_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o perhaps_o a_o apostle_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o run_v the_o danger_n of_o such_o hazard_n and_o to_o so_o little_a purpose_n you_o can_v have_v forget_v the_o rage_n and_o madness_n of_o the_o rabble_n all_o over_o the_o kingdom_n at_o that_o time_n and_o when_o the_o papist_n shall_v equal_o upbraid_v both_o side_n as_o you_o upbraid_v one_o with_o silent_o look_v on_o than_o i_o believe_v you_o will_v think_v your_o common_a confidence_n that_o the_o king_n will_v not_o suffer_v by_o your_o silence_n and_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o mob_n good_a topic_n of_o excuse_n i_o find_v you_o p._n 13._o revive_v the_o old_a distinction_n betwixt_o the_o king_n political_a
