answer_v to_o this_o plea_n which_o they_o will_v allege_v for_o themselves_o 1._o whether_o yea_o or_o no_o the_o nationall_n tie_v and_o association_n by_o which_o we_o be_v a_o commonwealth_n

than_o such_o as_o acknowledge_v it_o not_o do_v put_v themselves_o out_o of_o that_o protection_n and_o if_o they_o resist_v the_o power_n which_o god_n have_v set_v over_o they_o for_o the_o

power_n and_o government_n be_v be_v come_v to_o their_o present_a place_n whether_o in_o a_o legal_a way_n or_o that_o which_o you_o call_v usurpation_n it_o do_v not_o belong_v to_o the_o conscience_n of_o any_o man_n who_o be_v in_o a_o private_a station_n to_o determine_v peremptory_o far_o less_o upon_o his_o determination_n to_o suspend_v his_o act_n towards_o the_o public_a good_a yet_o if_o in_o this_o also_o you_o desire_v to_o reflect_v upon_o the_o passage_n of_o right_a without_o obliege_v your_o conscience_n to_o stand_v engage_v either_o way_n by_o that_o which_o you_o shall_v observe_v i_o shall_v further_o suggest_v these_o head_n of_o matter_n appliable_a unto_o the_o case_n of_o those_o who_o you_o suspect_v to_o be_v usurper_n unto_o your_o impartial_a meditation_n as_o a_o plea_n which_o they_o do_v allege_v for_o themselves_o first_o whether_o yea_o or_o no_o it_o be_v any_o way_n unjust_a by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n among_o man_n that_o be_v equal_n to_o resist_v force_n with_o force_n second_o if_o it_o be_v just_a among_o equal_n to_o resist_v force_n with_o force_n the_o second_o point_n will_v be_v to_o consider_v whether_o he_o that_o invade_v another_o man_n natural_a right_n or_o he_o that_o defend_v his_o own_o be_v to_o be_v account_v the_o usurger_n three_o if_o he_o that_o invade_v and_o seek_v to_o deprive_v another_o man_n of_o his_o right_n be_v the_o usurper_n then_o he_o that_o by_o resistance_n be_v deprive_v of_o that_o whereof_o he_o attempt_v to_o deprive_v his_o neighbour_n be_v not_o wrong_v by_o way_n of_o usurpation_n but_o just_o defeat_v of_o the_o power_n which_o he_o do_v abuse_v now_o they_o will_v say_v that_o the_o case_n be_v thus_o first_o between_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n if_o you_o count_v they_o equal_v which_o be_v the_o least_o can_v be_v give_v say_v they_o to_o a_o parliament_n by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o nation_n and_o then_o afterward_o between_o the_o one_o party_n and_o the_o other_o in_o the_o parliament_n the_o same_o case_n be_v act_v again_o as_o between_o equal_n whereupon_o the_o city_n militia_n on_o the_o one_o hand_n and_o the_o army_n on_o the_o other_o be_v depend_v and_o see_v on_o work_n for_o action_n and_o how_o far_o these_o power_n have_v dash_v those_o that_o prevail_v do_v think_v themselves_o necessitate_v to_o settle_v the_o safety_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n in_o their_o own_o way_n and_o what_o settlement_n that_o have_v by_o god_n permission_n bring_v forth_o and_o upon_o what_o ground_n it_o now_o stand_v i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o represent_v unto_o you_o only_o the_o sober_a consideration_n of_o the_o ground_n which_o the_o party_n accuse_v of_o usurpation_n do_v allege_v for_o its_o proceed_n be_v to_o be_v think_v upon_o indifferent_o without_o prajudicat_fw-la affectus_fw-la if_o you_o will_v free_v your_o conscience_n from_o a_o snare_n and_o this_o shall_v suffice_v also_o concern_v the_o first_o branch_n of_o your_o second_o doubt_n but_o let_v we_o now_o come_v to_o the_o second_o branch_n thereof_o which_o suppose_v the_o power_n to_o be_v usurp_v do_v question_n how_o far_o by_o take_v the_o engagement_n you_o become_v accessary_a to_o the_o guilt_n thereof_o to_o this_o question_n i_o shall_v answer_v brief_o thus_o that_o the_o engagement_n be_v a_o duty_n just_a to_o be_v require_v by_o the_o present_a power_n from_o their_o subject_n without_o the_o performance_n of_o which_o there_o be_v no_o protection_n due_a unto_o they_o and_o necessary_a to_o be_v perform_v by_o all_o that_o will_v not_o profess_v themselves_o desirous_a to_o overthrow_v the_o present_a safety_n and_o public_a welfare_n of_o the_o nation_n it_o can_v make_v those_o that_o take_v it_o accessary_a to_o the_o guilt_n of_o those_o that_o tender_v it_o if_o any_o be_v in_o they_o because_o the_o performance_n of_o a_o thing_n good_a in_o itself_o
