august_n assembly_n present_o cheerful_o subscribe_v the_o association_n wherein_o after_o they_o sincere_o and_o solemn_o profess_v testify_v and_o declare_v that_o his_o present_a majesty_n king_n

in_o the_o support_n and_o defence_n of_o his_o majesty_n most_o sacred_a person_n and_o government_n against_o the_o late_a king_n james_n and_o his_o adherent_n further_o they_o oblige_v

from_o exception_n by_o the_o next_o plain_n righteous_a and_o decretory_a sentence_n and_o that_o neither_o the_o late_a king_n james_n nor_o the_o pretend_a prince_n of_o wales_n nor_o any_o other_o

upon_o his_o treacherous_a enemy_n to_o this_o i_o have_v several_a thing_n to_o reply_v 1._o though_o with_o some_o man_n the_o blood_n of_o a_o king_n be_v so_o cheap_a that_o it_o may_v be_v spill_v like_o water_n on_o the_o ground_n and_o they_o never_o trouble_v their_o heart_n about_o it_o yet_o i_o make_v no_o question_n but_o be_v it_o the_o blood_n but_o of_o a_o archbishop_n of_o st._n andrew_n they_o will_v be_v very_o active_a to_o hunt_v the_o murderer_n from_o their_o covert_n and_o bring_v they_o to_o condign_a punishment_n that_o these_o word_n may_v not_o be_v wrest_v i_o do_v avow_v that_o it_o be_v a_o necessary_a piece_n of_o justice_n the_o punishment_n of_o that_o archbishop_n murderer_n but_o i_o argue_v a_o fortiori_fw-la how_o necessary_a then_o be_v it_o to_o punish_v wicked_a regicide_n ii_o when_o a_o noble_a peer_n be_v impeach_v in_o parliament_n for_o high-treason_n the_o lord_n spiritual_a pretend_v to_o a_o right_n of_o sit_v and_o vote_v among_o his_o judge_n so_o that_o clergyman_n be_v not_o willing_a to_o be_v whole_o sequester_v from_o their_o share_n in_o legal_a revenge_n iii_o when_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o declare_v upon_o the_o occasion_n of_o the_o popish_a plot_n discover_v by_o doctor_n oates_n that_o if_o his_o majesty_n king_n charles_n that_o then_o be_v shall_v come_v to_o any_o violent_a death_n which_o they_o pray_v god_n to_o prevent_v though_o as_o it_o be_v think_v they_o be_v not_o hear_v they_o will_v revenge_v it_o to_o the_o utmost_a on_o the_o papist_n none_o of_o this_o clan_n of_o non-associators_a bawl_v against_o that_o vote_n as_o unchristian_a and_o yet_o i_o do_v not_o see_v but_o king_n william_n life_n be_v as_o precious_a and_o aught_o to_o be_v as_o dear_a to_o the_o nation_n as_o ever_o king_n charles_n be_v beside_o i_o persuade_v myself_o that_o popish_a assassin_n deserve_v not_o to_o be_v more_o severe_o treat_v than_o than_o any_o other_o assassin_n iv._o when_o any_o private_a person_n unite_v with_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o to_o revenge_v the_o violent_a death_n of_o the_o king_n which_o god_n prevent_v he_o unite_v with_o the_o representative_n of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o people_n for_o the_o just_a execution_n of_o a_o legal_a revenge_n v._o he_o that_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o do_v his_o part_n towards_o the_o bring_v the_o assassin_n of_o the_o king_n to_o suffer_v the_o law_n may_v be_v just_o suspect_v as_o a_o abettor_n of_o the_o assassination_n if_o such_o a_o thing_n shall_v happen_v which_o god_n prevent_v and_o if_o he_o be_v treat_v according_o he_o be_v not_o worse_o treat_v than_o the_o old_a lady_n lisle_n vi_o in_o a_o state_n of_o nature_n every_o man_n have_v a_o right_a to_o preserve_v all_o his_o honest_a interest_n against_o the_o injury_n of_o other_o and_o to_o punish_v such_o injury_n according_a as_o he_o judge_v they_o deserve_v to_o be_v punish_v in_o political_a society_n every_o man_n resign_v up_o this_o natural_a right_n to_o the_o community_n who_o intrust_v some_o choose_a man_n or_o man_n to_o govern_v they_o by_o settle_a law_n make_v with_o their_o own_o consent_n now_o if_o wicked_a assassin_n shall_v traitorous_o take_v off_o the_o chief_a head_n or_o head_n that_o govern_v and_o so_o reduce_v the_o people_n to_o the_o unhappy_a necessity_n of_o a_o new_a choice_n from_o whence_o may_v arise_v infinite_a mischief_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o difference_n of_o ambitious_a pretender_n the_o people_n seem_v reduce_v to_o a_o state_n of_o nature_n and_o then_o every_o particular_a individual_a person_n have_v a_o right_a to_o be_v revenge_v of_o the_o assassin_n it_o be_v true_a the_o english_a government_n be_v hereditary_a and_o by_o act_n of_o parliament_n settle_v after_o the_o death_n or_o demise_n of_o king_n william_n on_o the_o princess_n ann_n and_o the_o heir_n of_o her_o body_n but_o then_o there_o be_v danger_n that_o jacobite_n zeal_n may_v wade_v through_o more_o blood_n to_o make_v a_o clear_a vacancy_n for_o a_o royal_a abdicator_n and_o if_o so_o there_o be_v reason_n for_o every_o true_a englishman_n by_o the_o parliament_n association_n to_o denounce_v vengeance_n against_o the_o assassin_n but_o the_o single_a loss_n of_o king_n william_n alone_o by_o violent_a sudden_a treachery_n may_v chance_v to_o throw_v we_o into_o those_o confusion_n that_o it_o be_v just_a and_o prudent_a to_o associate_v to_o be_v avenge_v of_o they_o that_o shall_v tear_v that_o dear_a interest_n from_o we_o vii_o let_v who_o will_v
