be_v they_o will_v have_v do_v well_o to_o undeceive_v he_o but_o then_o if_o they_o will_v they_o shall_v have_v study_v to_o have_v do_v it_o with_o that_o sincerity_n and_o candour_n that_o their_o method_n may_v not_o prejudice_v he_o fast_o than_o their_o argument_n convince_v he_o or_o else_o they_o will_v have_v but_o little_a right_n leave_v to_o the_o claim_n of_o charity_n and_o good_a intention_n in_o the_o case_n but_o methinks_v i_o hear_v it_o object_v that_o this_o answer_n be_v not_o sufficient_a that_o the_o trust_n in_o god_n and_o omit_v self-defence_n still_o remain_v and_o it_o be_v that_o be_v the_o enthusiasm_n i_o say_v it_o be_v not_o but_o it_o be_v faith_n and_o possible_o not_o so_o unaccountable_a a_o one_o as_o some_o man_n imagine_v neither_o indeed_o be_v there_o not_o a_o example_n in_o the_o jew_n where_o a_o whole_a nation_n thus_o trust_v in_o god_n for_o their_o deliverance_n nay_o and_o that_o more_o than_o once_o too_o and_o be_v deliver_v according_o nor_o be_v it_o a_o argument_n in_o such_o case_n that_o because_o we_o have_v not_o see_v any_o example_n of_o such_o deliverance_n of_o late_a that_o therefore_o we_o may_v not_o expect_v it_o if_o the_o world_n be_v general_o so_o vile_a as_o not_o to_o deserve_v such_o a_o protection_n from_o god_n shall_v we_o therefore_o be_v wicked_a in_o despair_n of_o it_o in_o short_a because_o the_o coldness_n of_o man_n faith_n have_v now_o reduce_v it_o to_o be_v perfect_o without_o efficacy_n shall_v we_o therefore_o fling_v faith_n itself_o aside_o but_o to_o illustrate_v this_o by_o example_n the_o martyr_n in_o queen_n mary_n day_n they_o trust_v in_o god_n and_o quit_v their self_o defence_n nay_o and_o that_o to_o a_o great_a number_n together_o yes_o and_o more_o after_o that_o queen_n mary_n both_o corrupt_o and_o contrary_a to_o the_o most_o solemn_a engagment_n have_v violate_v the_o law_n and_o persecute_v they_o i_o say_v after_o all_o this_o yet_o they_o through_o their_o trust_n in_o god_n quit_v their_o self-defence_n and_o right_n of_o resistance_n and_o yet_o no_o one_o that_o ever_o i_o know_v call_v they_o enthusiast_n indeed_o by_o the_o principle_n of_o resistance_n they_o may_v have_v conclude_v the_o whole_a state_n king_n queen_n lord_n and_o commons_o void_a if_o not_o for_o their_o unjust_a law_n of_o destroy_v for_o religion_n mere_a religion_n i_o mean_v yet_o at_o least_o as_o the_o first_o have_v break_v their_o trust_n and_o the_o latter_a be_v rather_o pack_v then_o legal_o call_v to_o their_o assembly_n i_o say_v by_o the_o principle_n of_o resistance_n they_o may_v just_o have_v conclude_v thus_o but_o as_o they_o do_v not_o and_o do_v not_o fly_v to_o resolve_v themselves_o to_o their_o first_o element_n the_o sovereign_a lord_n the_o people_n i_o say_v though_o they_o do_v not_o yet_o i_o hope_v we_o may_v just_o give_v they_o the_o title_n of_o martyr_n through_o faith_n without_o brand_a they_o with_o enthusiasm_n in_o plain_a term_n at_o this_o rate_n at_o last_o we_o shall_v drive_v martyrdom_n out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o he_o will_v be_v repute_v equal_o fool_n and_o coward_n that_o do_v not_o die_v with_o his_o sword_n in_o his_o hand_n be_v martyrdom_n in_o a_o great_a many_o private_a man_n a_o duty_n i_o may_v say_v to_o half_a the_o people_n as_o have_v late_o near_o happen_v in_o france_n i_o say_v why_o be_v it_o not_o in_o kingdom_n also_o do_v enthusiasm_n recipere_fw-la magis_fw-la &_o minus_fw-la or_o be_v it_o to_o hold_v in_o all_o case_n alike_o indeed_o why_o must_v we_o be_v enthusiast_n in_o part_n through_o a_o revelation_n and_o not_o throughout_o so_o that_o it_o be_v plain_a these_o man_n must_v either_o quite_o reject_v martyrdom_n with_o passive_a obedience_n or_o else_o ingenious_o acknowledge_v that_o lay_v aside_o all_o the_o absurdity_n of_o reason_v in_o it_o they_o will_v with_o i_o whole_o rely_v on_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n for_o it_o so_o that_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o matter_n will_v be_v resolve_v thus_o all_o people_n that_o have_v trust_v in_o god_n through_o passive_a obedience_n have_v not_o be_v deliver_v with_o the_o israelite_n no_o more_o have_v not_o all_o martyr_n like_o shadrack_n meshack_n and_o abednego_n be_v deliver_v from_o the_o power_n of_o flame_n and_o torture_n i_o say_v therefore_o as_o we_o be_v not_o to_o expect_v always_o our_o faith_n to_o succeed_v in_o the_o latter_a case_n of_o martydom_n shall_v we_o be_v so_o unreasonable_a as_o to_o murmur_v and_o repine_v that_o suffering_n be_v likely_a to_o befall_v we_o in_o the_o other_o and_o for_o that_o reason_n only_o to_o conclude_v it_o can_v be_v a_o duty_n upon_o we_o in_o short_a i_o know_v no_o other_o way_n that_o the_o doctor_n be_v enthusiastical_a adversary_n have_v to_o evade_v the_o force_n of_o this_o reason_n unless_o by_o pretend_v that_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o resist_v the_o king_n that_o have_v only_o the_o executive_a power_n and_o another_o to_o resist_v the_o fountain_n or_o legislative_a power_n and_o as_o i_o have_v show_v that_o can_v help_v they_o for_o under_o the_o pretence_n even_o of_o the_o parliament_n be_v pack_v or_o pensioner_n the_o resistance_n man_n will_v allow_v themselves_o to_o oppose_v the_o legislative_a power_n also_o so_o that_o we_o may_v well_o conclude_v this_o principle_n of_o resistance_n can_v scarce_o rational_o admit_v a_o man_n in_o such_o circumstance_n as_o to_o be_v a_o martyr_n and_o if_o it_o do_v not_o by_o that_o trespass_n as_o much_o on_o the_o side_n of_o infidelity_n and_o diffidence_n in_o god_n as_o passive_a obedience_n do_v on_o enthusiasm_n i_o be_o very_o much_o mistake_v nor_o indeed_o be_v this_o the_o only_a parallel_n case_n to_o justify_v this_o sort_n of_o enthusiasm_n wherein_o a_o man_n so_o trust_v in_o god_n as_o to_o give_v up_o himself_o for_o if_o all_o such_o course_n must_v imply_v a_o ridiculous_a enthusiasm_n faith_n itself_o must_v be_v ridiculous_a also_o thus_o abraham_n must_v be_v a_o enthusiast_n for_o leave_v his_o father_n country_n and_o the_o christian_n that_o bestow_v a_o charity_n be_v a_o enthusiast_n for_o part_v with_o that_o present_a supply_n that_o by_o possibility_n he_o may_v stand_v in_o need_n of_o so_o that_o i_o hope_v i_o may_v now_o very_a well_o conclude_v i_o have_v acquit_v the_o doctor_n from_o all_o pretence_n of_o enthusiasm_n when_o the_o very_a same_o argument_n that_o his_o adversary_n have_v bring_v to_o accuse_v he_o with_o as_o i_o have_v manifest_o show_v will_v not_o only_o if_o not_o soften_v ruin_n passive_n obedience_n but_o even_o christianity_n and_o all_o manner_n of_o faith_n and_o religion_n whatever_o also_o and_o i_o think_v i_o may_v now_o draw_v to_o a_o conclusion_n and_o i_o hope_v to_o the_o general_a satisfaction_n also_o for_o if_o i_o be_o not_o as_o much_o mistake_v as_o ever_o i_o be_v in_o my_o life_n i_o have_v give_v the_o doctor_n a_o effectual_a vindication_n i_o mean_v such_o a_o one_o as_o be_v not_o only_o able_a to_o return_v the_o dirt_n cast_v upon_o he_o back_o upon_o his_o adversary_n but_o with_o all_o good_a man_n to_o restore_v he_o to_o his_o former_a reputation_n and_o esteem_n i_o think_v i_o have_v sufficient_o show_v to_o the_o world_n that_o his_o adversary_n be_v not_o generous_a that_o they_o can_v assault_v he_o thus_o in_o crowd_n that_o they_o be_v not_o charitable_a that_o they_o can_v attribute_v scandal_n to_o he_o against_o all_o the_o rule_n of_o sincerity_n and_o honour_n i_o have_v show_v moreover_o that_o what_o he_o have_v write_v may_v receive_v effectual_o a_o good_a sense_n and_o that_o without_o scandal_n to_o the_o government_n too_o without_o man_n be_v resolve_v to_o force_v his_o word_n to_o the_o worst_a and_o as_o i_o have_v show_v this_o so_o i_o may_v have_v stay_v here_o and_o say_v this_o be_v enough_o have_v i_o think_v fit_a only_o just_a to_o vindicate_v his_o cause_n but_o for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o his_o enemy_n i_o have_v go_v on_o further_a i_o have_v show_v they_o his_o doctrine_n of_o passive_a obedience_n be_v not_o so_o absurd_a neither_o as_o they_o will_v insinuate_v in_o short_a i_o have_v show_v they_o it_o be_v as_o good_a as_o resistance_n and_o let_v they_o make_v the_o worst_a or_o it_o and_o to_o this_o i_o have_v add_v that_o the_o aspersion_n of_o enthusiasm_n on_o the_o doctor_n be_v manifest_o a_o injustice_n and_o a_o reproach_n to_o this_o i_o may_v add_v his_o pray_v for_o king_n william_n when_o he_o wish_a king_n james_n the_o success_n his_o protest_v against_o his_o promote_a nonswearing_a when_o at_o the_o same_o time_n when_o ask_v he_o give_v his_o opinion_n and_o his_o inconstancy_n in_o change_v his_o principle_n and_o many_o other_o such_o trifle_a objection_n

under_o the_o pretext_n and_o colour_n of_o passive-obedience_n will_v fain_o destroy_v our_o present_a settlement_n and_o allegiance_n i_o say_v as_o to_o they_o methinks_v the_o doctor_n be_v argument_n be_v as_o full_a and_o convince_a as_o either_o they_o can_v expect_v or_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n can_v bear_v and_o it_o be_v well_o for_o those_o that_o the_o doctor_n have_v so_o many_o enemy_n to_o keep_v they_o in_o countenance_n that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o better_a able_a to_o withstand_v his_o reason_n i_o say_v therefore_o if_o the_o doctor_n be_v adversary_n argument_n from_o the_o right_n of_o resistance_n can_v move_v they_o yet_o the_o doctor_n be_v from_o the_o right_n of_o conquest_n must_v do_v it_o or_o else_o there_o be_v no_o prince_n may_v be_v in_o the_o world_n at_o least_o very_a few_o have_v any_o right_n at_o best_a original_o to_o their_o throne_n in_o truth_n the_o doctor_n be_v right_a by_o conquest_n be_v as_o well_o the_o most_o comprehensive_a as_o the_o most_o justifiable_a title_n and_o indeed_o the_o doctor_n be_v king_n settle_v quiet_o and_o entire_o by_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n in_o possession_n be_v the_o resistances_n man_n king_n by_o a_o new_a election_n and_o be_v the_o quarrel_n about_o word_n take_v away_o they_o will_v amount_v to_o just_a the_o same_o thing_n no_o but_o you_o say_v it_o be_v the_o election_n give_v the_o title_n and_o not_o the_o consent_n to_o possession_n i_o say_v it_o be_v false_a the_o consent_n to_o possession_n argue_v a_o election_n though_o not_o a_o formal_a

indeed_o popery_n as_o it_o have_v corrupt_v our_o religion_n so_o it_o have_v our_o moral_n also_o and_o have_v make_v even_a christian_n to_o do_v those_o thing_n that_o the_o honest_a heathen_n will_v blush_v at_o but_o as_o they_o have_v i_o hope_v we_o will_v not_o corrupt_v with_o they_o and_o think_v to_o conquer_v they_o by_o out-villaning_a of_o they_o but_o rather_o brave_o at_o

short_a if_o there_o be_v either_o law_n or_o right_n of_o war_n and_o peace_n a_o government_n by_o consent_n be_v as_o just_a as_o by_o election_n and_o as_o secure_v a_o bottom_n to_o found_v it_o

either_o the_o right_n of_o conquest_n or_o election_n can_v make_v he_o have_v the_o usurper_n no_o right_n why_o do_v you_o transmit_v it_o then_o to_o he_o by_o a_o pusillanimous_a submission_n and_o why_o do_v you_o not_o at_o the_o first_o approach_n of_o the_o wrong_n fly_v to_o arm_n and_o counsel_n to_o resist_v the_o injustice_n and_o to_o support_v the_o injure_a prince_n but_o if_o

a_o title_n through_o possession_n exceed_v all_o the_o election_n in_o the_o world_n a_o quiet_a possession_n show_v a_o complete_a election_n whilst_o a_o formal_a one_o by_o a_o convention_n or_o

have_v write_v be_v wrong_n because_o we_o have_v already_o prejudicate_v he_o in_o that_o one_o error_n of_o passive-obedience_n i_o say_v therefore_o as_o i_o be_o by_o all_o circumstance_n hitherto_o convince_v of_o the_o doctor_n be_v integrity_n and_o as_o this_o prejudice_n of_o passive-obedience_n be_v reflect_v upon_o he_o whether_o beside_o the_o purpose_n or_o not_o at_o
