in_o such_o a_o state_n resistance_n of_o destructive_a instrument_n be_v neither_o of_o power_n nor_o god_n ordinance_n i_o may_v therefore_o well_o omit_v that_o which_o at_o large_a here_o he_o

because_o then_o that_o be_v past_a the_o government_n change_v and_o a_o oath_n take_v of_o absolute_a subjection_n have_v i_o by_o these_o thing_n grant_v a_o liberty_n of_o resistance_n of_o god_n

of_o a_o prince_n by_o promise_n limit_v himself_o in_o the_o use_n of_o his_o power_n i_o say_v though_o he_o sin_n in_o exceed_v such_o promise_n yet_o we_o owe_v he_o also_o active_a obedience_n in_o such_o command_n which_o god_n law_n forbid_v we_o not_o to_o be_v active_a in_o neither_o do_v i_o bring_v doctor_n bilson_n testimony_n to_o prove_v that_o religion_n be_v then_o no_o part_n
