but_o than_o three_o it_o be_v say_v the_o king_n be_v not_o able_a to_o protect_v we_o and_o therefore_o we_o be_v free_v from_o our_o allegiance_n and_o subjection_n to_o he_o we_o know_v what_o they_o be_v who_o say_v can_v this_o man_n save_o we_o and_o the_o doom_n that_o follow_v upon_o nolumus_fw-la hunc_fw-la regnare_fw-la because_o their_o lord_n be_v go_v not_o drive_v which_o will_v make_v our_o sin_n and_o our_o doom_n much_o the_o heavy_a into_o a_o far_a country_n to_o lay_v the_o absurdity_n therefore_o at_o their_o own_o door_n if_o their_o servant_n shall_v rise_v up_o against_o they_o and_o cast_v they_o out_o of_o the_o family_n will_v they_o suppose_v it_o reasonable_a or_o lawful_a in_o their_o wife_n to_o engage_v herself_o to_o be_v true_a and_o faithful_a to_o another_o man_n true_o this_o objection_n may_v yet_o carry_v some_o seem_a force_n with_o it_o if_o we_o be_v to_o be_v subject_n namely_o for_o wrath_n which_o god_n know_v we_o have_v no_o great_a occasion_n to_o fear_v and_o not_o also_o for_o conscience_n sake_n if_o our_o obedience_n be_v terminate_v in_o the_o king_n and_o not_o direct_v further_o by_o the_o apostle_n as_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o not_o to_o man_n or_o if_o we_o can_v say_v this_o lord_n be_v not_o able_a to_o protect_v we_o will_v it_o be_v lawful_a for_o we_o to_o deny_v or_o forswear_v christ_n because_o he_o show_v himself_o to_o we_o in_o much_o weakness_n and_o under_o the_o cross_n or_o be_v not_o a_o son_n to_o honour_n and_o acknowledge_v his_o father_n because_o he_o be_v poor_a and_o impotent_a and_o sure_a it_o will_v be_v full_a out_o as_o strange_a that_o our_o natural_a and_o swear_a duty_n of_o help_v the_o king_n shall_v be_v avoid_v by_o this_o reason_n because_o he_o have_v no_o power_n to_o help_v himself_o 4._o the_o four_o plea_n therefore_o be_v that_o what_o we_o do_v be_v in_o loyalty_n and_o pure_a affection_n to_o the_o king_n that_o we_o may_v preserve_v ourselves_o and_o our_o estate_n for_o his_o service_n to_o do_v evil_a that_o good_a may_v come_v of_o it_o will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o justify_v we_o as_o it_o do_v justify_v our_o damnation_n for_o what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o be_v wise_a than_o god_n and_o to_o seek_v out_o the_o seem_a fail_n of_o his_o providence_n with_o our_o own_o prudence_n he_o have_v no_o end_n say_v the_o son_n of_o syrach_n of_o a_o wicked_a man_n and_o can_v doubtless_o bring_v about_o his_o end_n and_o work_v out_o his_o glory_n though_o we_o shall_v keep_v ourselves_o within_o the_o bound_n that_o he_o have_v set_v we_o better_a the_o ark_n shall_v totter_v to_o the_o ground_n than_o vzzah_n stretch_v forth_o a_o unlawful_a hand_n to_o hold_v it_o up_o the_o sum_n of_o the_o whole_a argument_n be_v brief_o this_o it_o be_v more_o probable_a and_o we_o be_v better_a able_a to_o restore_v the_o king_n without_o god_n than_o god_n without_o we_o 5._o in_o the_o five_o place_n it_o be_v object_v that_o by_o take_v this_o engagement_n we_o do_v but_o the_o same_o thing_n as_o in_o pay_v contribution_n true_o i_o be_o not_o overforward_a to_o be_v a_o party_n or_o stickler_n so_o as_o to_o

must_v confess_v there_o be_v to_o my_o apprehension_n a_o very_a manifest_a difference_n between_o these_o two_o my_o pay_v of_o contribution_n be_v but_o actus_fw-la simplex_fw-la a_o bare_a
