have_v drive_v away_o by_o violence_n the_o lawful_a prince_n and_o true_a heir_n of_o the_o kingdom_n or_o have_v oppress_v he_o so_o far_o as_o that_o he_o be_v unable_a to_o stand_v up_o for_o his_o own_o right_n do_v while_o the_o other_o be_v still_o live_v take_v the_o government_n upon_o he_o and_o act_n as_o king_n when_o he_o be_v in_o reality_n rather_o a_o usurper_n than_o a_o

this_o case_n who_o have_v take_v a_o oath_n of_o fealty_n to_o his_o lawful_a prince_n or_o if_o he_o have_v not_o take_v such_o a_o oath_n yet_o be_v as_o much_o oblige_v to_o the_o prince_n as_o if_o he_o have_v swear_v it_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o lawful_a for_o a_o good_a subject_a to_o pay_v obedience_n to_o the_o law_n make_v by_o he_o that_o have_v the_o

but_o that_o it_o be_v necessary_a oftentimes_o for_o he_o to_o do_v these_o thing_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v want_v to_o his_o own_o duty_n if_o he_o do_v not_o 176._o what_o i_o will_v gather_v from_o this_o case_n put_v by_o the_o great_a bishop_n be_v that_o if_o such_o obedience_n be_v lawful_a and_o very_o often_o necessary_a to_o one_o who_o be_v a_o mere_a usurper_n by_o unlawful_a violence_n the_o least_o he_o will_v have_v determine_v in_o our_o circumstance_n must_v have_v be_v that_o obedience_n may_v lawful_o be_v pay_v to_o our_o present_a king_n and_o queen_n

in_o the_o case_n of_o his_o violent_a usurper_n that_o notwithstanding_o the_o obedience_n to_o he_o the_o fealty_n due_a to_o the_o lawful_a prince_n must_v be_v preserve_v inviolate_a and_o nothing_o do_v in_o prejudice_n of_o his_o right_n can_v have_v no_o place_n here_o since_o the_o late_a king_n fall_v perfect_o from_o all_o soveraigny_n here_o by_o desert_v his_o government_n and_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n have_v a_o most_o just_a cause_n of_o war_n against_o he_o and_o make_v as_o plain_v a_o conquest_n over_o he_o neither_o of_o which_o can_v be_v bring_v within_o the_o bishop_n case_n and_o therefore_o if_o subject_n may_v to_o keep_v to_o the_o bishop_n reason_n upon_o the_o case_n for_o their_o own_o sake_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o their_o life_n and_o estate_n and_o for_o the_o protection_n they_o receive_v under_o those_o who_o have_v possession_n of_o the_o government_n and_o for_o the_o public_a sake_n for_o the_o trade_n and_o commerce_n of_o the_o nation_n upon_o which_o the_o public_a must_v subsist_v live_v quiet_o under_o and_o pay_v obedience_n to_o a_o usurp_a power_n every_o one_o of_o these_o reason_n be_v more_o foreible_a upon_o we_o to_o pay_v our_o obedience_n to_o their_o present_a majesty_n who_o have_v right_o of_o just_a conquest_n right_o of_o lawful_a succession_n and_o the_o consent_n and_o recognition_n of_o the_o

and_o in_o quietness_n so_o do_v the_o scripture_n itself_o the_o best_a rule_n we_o can_v desire_v in_o our_o case_n as_o the_o scripture_n command_v under_o the_o great_a penalty_n subjection_n to_o

other_o hinge_v be_v break_v off_o also_o and_o then_o the_o constitution_n be_v at_o a_o end_n and_o our_o legal_a government_n do_v cease_v whatever_o new_a or_o better_o one_o be_v pretend_v to_o

prove_v at_o the_o seven_o bishop_n trial_n by_o your_o council_n and_o what_o may_v be_v show_v in_o a_o very_a few_o word_n i_o will_v instance_n only_o in_o the_o recusant_n who_o be_v not_o only_o

and_o they_o can_v not_o be_v deliver_v out_o of_o this_o condition_n but_o by_o a_o law_n which_o shall_v annul_v the_o former_a law_n against_o they_o and_o make_v they_o as_o capable_a of_o place_n of_o trust_n as_o any_o of_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n now_o do_v not_o the_o late_a king_n by_o his_o dispense_v power_n and_o his_o sole_a authority_n make_v such_o a_o law_n for_o they_o do_v he_o not_o annul_v all_o the_o law_n in_o force_n against_o they_o and_o qualify_v the_o recusant_n and_o put_v they_o into_o place_n of_o trust_n what_o can_v any_o law_n make_v by_o the_o true_a legislative_a authority_n a_o king_n with_o his_o parliament_n have_v do_v more_o for_o they_o than_o the_o king_n himself_o without_o a_o parliament_n concurrence_n do_v i_o think_v my_o lord_n this_o instance_n sufficient_a to_o show_v that_o the_o dispense_v power_n which_o king_n jame_v use_v be_v to_o all_o intent_n and_o purpose_n a_o legislative_a power_n since_o as_o i_o have_v prove_v it_o no_o law_n can_v have_v do_v more_o for_o any_o person_n aggrieve_v than_o this_o power_n and_o therefore_o that_o this_o be_v a_o direct_a subversion_n of_o our_o government_n the_o chief_a fundamental_a of_o which_o be_v that_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v make_v by_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n and_o if_o our_o constitution_n be_v subvert_v i_o can_v see_v how_o his_o

dissolution_n of_o government_n happen_v i_o think_v i_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o fix_v the_o time_n your_o lordship_n do_v remember_v that_o upon_o the_o duke_n of_o monmouth_n rebellion_n the_o late_a king_n give_v commission_n to_o several_a popish_a officer_n this_o be_v the_o forerunner_n of_o it_o but_o when_o upon_o the_o sit_v down_o of_o the_o parliament_n in_o october_n afterward_o

for_o their_o opposition_n to_o it_o he_o finish_v his_o design_n and_o our_o ruin_n and_o from_o that_o moment_n i_o look_v upon_o the_o english_a constitution_n to_o be_v alter_v and_o must_v lay_v
