among_o barbarian_n before_o they_o engage_v themselves_o and_o other_o ignorant_a person_n in_o such_o adventure_n to_o the_o second_o that_o i_o understand_v not_o those_o spurgall_n of_o honour_n which_o disquiet_v their_o fiery_a humour_n i_o only_o discourse_n of_o what_o be_v fit_v to_o make_v a_o sweet_a and_o content_a life_n to_o they_o who_o think_v it_o consist_v in_o enjoy_v natural_a

to_o the_o force_n of_o reason_n or_o passion_n which_o govern_v in_o person_n and_o present_a circumstance_n keep_v myself_o in_o the_o common_a notion_n which_o belong_v to_o science_n still_o there_o remain_v one_o difficulty_n which_o may_v breed_v great_a variety_n in_o the_o resolution_n and_o it_o be_v who_o be_v to_o be_v judge_n whether_o the_o neglect_n of_o the_o magistrate_n be_v so_o great_a as_o to_o deserve_v resistance_n for_o if_o the_o magistrate_n himself_o be_v endow_v with_o that_o power_n it_o be_v a_o folly_n to_o think_v that_o circumstance_n will_v ever_o come_v and_o if_o it_o belong_v to_o the_o people_n such_o hotspur_n as_o we_o speak_v of_o will_v make_v it_o come_v long_o before_o the_o season_n be_v ripe_a for_o it_o but_o the_o truth_n be_v this_o question_n seem_v in_o a_o manner_n superfluous_a for_o it_o suppose_v there_o be_v a_o question_n and_o ambiquity_n to_o be_v decide_v and_o by_o the_o condition_n put_v it_o be_v clear_o there_o can_v be_v no_o question_n of_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o resistance_n for_o they_o be_v such_o as_o to_o put_v the_o question_n beyond_o all_o ambiguity_n in_o the_o very_a conscience_n of_o the_o magistrate_n the_o object_n beat_v on_o the_o subject_n in_o every_o one_o particular_a beyond_o denial_n and_o dispute_n and_o beside_o as_o long_o as_o true_o there_o be_v any_o disputableness_n the_o trust_v repose_v in_o the_o magistrate_n make_v he_o judge_n for_o be_v entrust_v as_o a_o man_n both_o know_v and_o good_a and_o the_o people_n take_v themselves_o as_o ignorant_a in_o what_o they_o trust_v he_o clear_o he_o remain_v sole_a judge_n as_o long_o as_o there_o remain_v a_o case_n to_o be_v judge_v and_o therefore_o his_o either_o ignorance_n or_o carelessness_n or_o tyranny_n ought_v to_o be_v so_o evident_a that_o it_o be_v beyond_o all_o question_n or_o else_o the_o subject_n must_v have_v patience_n for_o his_o own_o good_a which_o be_v his_o aim_n in_o put_v himself_o under_o government_n the_o fifteen_o ground_n wherein_o consist_v the_o power_n and_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_a yet_o may_v some_o think_v on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o the_o doctrine_n deliver_v contradict_v itself_o for_o it_o be_v before_o determine_v that_o the_o people_n have_v alienate_v all_o right_a of_o judge_v or_o meddle_v in_o government_n how_o can_v it_o ever_o happen_v that_o they_o shall_v have_v a_o right_a to_o interpose_v again_o or_o that_o such_o circumstance_n can_v possible_o fall_v out_o in_o which_o they_o may_v resist_v the_o magistrate_n and_o this_o objection_n be_v so_o much_o the_o strong_a by_o acknowledge_v so_o great_a a_o power_n in_o the_o magistrate_n of_o break_v all_o law_n and_o limitation_n of_o government_n by_o the_o force_n of_o reason_n place_v in_o the_o circumstance_n of_o power_n and_o authority_n as_o have_v be_v declare_v whence_o it_o seem_v since_o that_o authority_n in_o the_o magistrate_n can_v consist_v with_o a_o opposite_a authority_n in_o the_o subject_n to_o bridle_v and_o curb_v he_o they_o can_v never_o have_v this_o power_n to_o resist_v and_o the_o truth_n be_v the_o people_n act_v not_o what_o it_o do_v in_o such_o a_o case_n by_o any_o authority_n acquire_v but_o by_o the_o force_n of_o nature_n that_o same_o force_n by_o which_o the_o magistrate_n overswaye_v the_o law_n but_o in_o other_o circumstance_n and_o first_o that_o the_o people_n have_v no_o authority_n to_o oppose_v their_o superior_a be_v manifest_a for_o authority_n be_v a_o thing_n institute_v by_o consent_n and_o depend_v on_o promise_n but_o here_o be_v no_o need_n of_o consent_n nor_o any_o thought_n of_o it_o here_o be_v no_o public_a meeting_n or_o league_n and_o if_o there_o be_v they_o will_v be_v of_o no_o value_n against_o a_o former_a tradition_n of_o their_o will_n to_o their_o magistrate_n it_o can_v be_v therefore_o that_o the_o people_n proceed_v by_o any_o such_o contract_n whence_o be_v it_o then_o that_o the_o people_n come_v to_o any_o such_o power_n the_o answer_n be_v as_o when_o they_o first_o institute_v government_n they_o do_v it_o in_o the_o force_n of_o nature_n without_o have_v any_o other_o power_n than_o the_o pure_a force_n of_o rationality_n so_o if_o by_o any_o circumstance_n they_o be_v devolve_v into_o the_o same_o state_n of_o anarchy_n that_o their_o promise_n make_v bind_v no_o more_o then_o rationality_n teach_v they_o and_o give_v they_o by_o force_n of_o nature_n to_o institute_v another_o government_n now_o the_o excessive_a disorder_n express_v in_o the_o forementioned_a condition_n make_v it_o evident_a they_o be_v not_o in_o a_o government_n that_o be_v in_o a_o conspiracy_n to_o the_o common_a good_a which_o be_v the_o offence_n of_o government_n but_o in_o a_o anarchy_n and_o therefore_o remit_v by_o the_o evil_a manage_n or_o insufficiency_n of_o their_o governor_n to_o the_o force_n of_o nature_n to_o provide_v for_o themselves_o and_o not_o bind_v by_o any_o promise_n make_v to_o their_o governor_n the_o whole_a end_n and_o intention_n of_o their_o promise_n be_v pure_o to_o submit_v to_o government_n that_o be_v conduce_v to_o the_o common_a good_a and_o safety_n which_o have_v fail_v there_o be_v no_o more_o obligation_n in_o their_o oath_n or_o promise_n then_o if_o they_o have_v never_o make_v they_o this_o be_v therefore_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o people_n opposition_n and_o only_a circumstance_n to_o justify_v their_o break_v their_o oath_n and_o promise_n so_o that_o in_o truth_n the_o

in_o the_o way_n of_o natural_a preservation_n of_o themselves_o make_v resistance_n against_o he_o i_o shall_v pass_v far_o to_o the_o change_n of_o government_n do_v not_o the_o loud_a and_o
