have_v mention_v the_o particular_n for_o otherwise_o it_o be_v to_o arraign_v the_o common_a justice_n of_o the_o nation_n as_o to_o the_o hasty_a and_o violent_a proceed_n of_o his_o trial_n it_o

to_o the_o people_n be_v because_o he_o will_v employ_v his_o last_o minute_n in_o devotion_n and_o holy_a communion_n with_o god_n which_o i_o hope_v he_o do_v but_o those_o who_o contrive_v the_o

our_o present_a circumstance_n be_v our_o rightful_a lawful_a sovereign_n not_o whether_o king_n be_v not_o god_n vicegerent_n '_o but_o whether_o god_n do_v not_o sometime_o confer_v the_o right_n of_o sovereignty_n by_o a_o law_n superior_a to_o the_o law_n of_o particular_a country_n that_o be_v by_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n which_o establish_v such_o a_o right_n upon_o the_o success_n of_o

material_a question_n which_o arise_v from_o hence_o first_o whether_o these_o be_v the_o just_a occasion_n of_o a_o war_n second_o whether_o upon_o the_o success_n of_o this_o war_n the_o right_n of_o sovereignty_n be_v due_o transfer_v if_o these_o be_v just_a occasion_n of_o a_o war_n and_o upon_o the_o success_n thereof_o the_o sovereignty_n be_v due_o transfer_v then_o there_o can_v be_v no_o dispute_n leave_v to_o who_o our_o allegiance_n be_v due_a it_o be_v take_v for_o grant_v by_o all_o who_o understand_v these_o matter_n that_o as_o there_o be_v a_o law_n of_o nature_n which_o determine_v the_o right_n and_o property_n of_o particular_a nation_n and_o that_o all_o private_a person_n be_v bind_v to_o submit_v to_o the_o municipal_a law_n of_o those_o society_n for_o their_o peace_n and_o security_n so_o there_o be_v other_o law_n which_o concern_v those_o nation_n as_o they_o make_v up_o several_a independent_a government_n upon_o each_o other_o and_o there_o be_v several_a right_n which_o belong_v to_o they_o with_o respect_n to_o one_o another_o which_o do_v not_o belong_v to_o private_a person_n as_o they_o live_v in_o subjection_n to_o any_o particular_a government_n and_o as_o there_o be_v such_o right_n so_o there_o must_v be_v a_o just_a and_o lawful_a way_n for_o reparation_n of_o injury_n in_o particular_a government_n the_o thing_n be_v plain_a by_o establish_a law_n and_o court_n of_o judicature_n who_o sentence_n be_v execute_v by_o the_o civil_a power_n but_o in_o separate_a nation_n and_o independent_a government_n although_o there_o be_v law_n by_o consent_n call_v the_o law_n of_o nation_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o common_a judicature_n to_o determine_v of_o right_n and_o wrong_n and_o therefore_o in_o case_n of_o injury_n there_o be_v a_o allowance_n for_o the_o injure_a party_n by_o this_o law_n of_o nation_n to_o right_n himself_o by_o force_n as_o there_o will_v be_v to_o every_o particular_a person_n if_o there_o be_v no_o law_n nor_o power_n to_o see_v they_o execute_v there_o be_v then_o a_o right_n in_o every_o sovereign_n and_o independent_a prince_n to_o exercise_v force_n against_o another_o prince_n who_o detain_v any_o right_n from_o he_o or_o do_v any_o injury_n to_o he_o or_o to_o those_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o defend_v the_o question_n than_o come_v to_o the_o just_a occasion_n of_o such_o a_o war_n and_o here_o be_v two_o assign_v first_o great_a and_o violent_a presumption_n of_o a_o injury_n to_o the_o right_n of_o succession_n this_o be_v express_o mention_v and_o insist_v on_o in_o the_o
