his_o objection_n that_o if_o a_o prince_n engage_v either_o hire_a stranger_n or_o fugitive_n or_o homebred_a delinquent_n or_o other_o to_o rise_v up_o against_o the_o senate_n or_o people_n either_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o defend_v themselves_o by_o arm_n or_o not_o if_o not_o especial_o if_o they_o have_v a_o share_n in_o the_o sovereignty_n than_o say_v he_o be_v the_o king_n power_n absolute_a and_o unlimited_a and_o neither_o law_n or_o any_o thing_n below_o be_v any_o security_n against_o his_o will_n to_o the_o common_a safety_n now_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o first_o it_o suppose_v a_o case_n that_o never_o can_v be_v as_o a_o king_n to_o raise_v force_n to_o destroy_v his_o people_n or_o any_o party_n of_o they_o it_o can_v never_o be_v the_o case_n that_o be_v for_o
