glorious_a martyrdom_n for_o his_o country_n and_o the_o providence_n of_o the_o great_a disposer_n of_o all_o man_n life_n must_v be_v reverence_v in_o all_o i_o confess_v that_o the_o evidence_n of_o oppression_n have_v need_n be_v very_o great_a and_o common_a before_o one_o apprehend_v in_o any_o design_n against_o the_o sovereign_n can_v be_v presume_v to_o have_v be_v about_o the_o

the_o government_n that_o the_o most_o furious_a traitor_n can_v embark_v into_o wherefore_o i_o must_v here_o again_o inculcate_v that_o all_o along_o in_o what_o i_o have_v be_v say_v upon_o this_o head_n i_o have_v walk_v upon_o this_o supposition_n that_o the_o prince_n invasion_n of_o the_o subject_n strike_v manifest_o at_o their_o right_n in_o the_o law_n and_o do_v visible_o appear_v to_o the_o world_n to_o be_v a_o rob_v they_o of_o their_o privilege_n as_o subject_n and_o a_o enslave_v they_o to_o all_o the_o misery_n of_o a_o arbitrary_a power_n for_o when_o the_o wrong_n do_v by_o the_o prince_n amount_v not_o to_o this_o and_o when_o the_o evidence_n of_o these_o wrong_n be_v not_o without_o question_n then_o all_o must_v go_v in_o his_o favour_n and_o the_o subject_n conscience_n must_v quit_v the_o cost_n but_o now_o in_o fine_a all_o these_o and_o other_o objection_n of_o this_o nature_n can_v never_o come_v home_o to_o the_o main_a point_n in_o hand_n for_o in_o so_o far_o as_o they_o proceed_v upon_o reason_n of_o a_o antecedent_n consequence_n to_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n they_o can_v be_v bring_v against_o this_o principle_n that_o our_o saviour_n never_o mean_v by_o his_o doctrine_n about_o subjection_n to_o alter_v the_o right_n of_o sovereign_n or_o of_o subject_n as_o they_o be_v state_v by_o the_o several_a constitution_n of_o different_a nation_n and_o in_o so_o far_o as_o they_o leave_v out_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o subject_n right_o in_o the_o law_n they_o be_v impertinent_a against_o this_o supposition_n that_o he_o have_v real_o such_o a_o right_n the_o only_a thing_n therefore_o that_o such_o objection_n ought_v to_o be_v adduce_v for_o be_v that_o whoever_o be_v a_o monarch_n can_v but_o be_v invest_v with_o such_o a_o absolute_a and_o illimited_a power_n as_o the_o great_a turk_n enjoy_v and_o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o real_a subject_n but_o that_o all_o under_o any_o sovereign_a power_n whatsoever_o be_v effectual_o slave_n true_o if_o there_o can_v be_v a_o middle_a estate_n find_v out_o betwixt_o such_o a_o subjection_n as_o envolve_v the_o right_a i_o have_v infer_v all_o i_o have_v speak_v from_o and_o slavery_n it_o may_v be_v that_o hitherto_o i_o have_v be_v talk_v in_o the_o air._n but_o if_o man_n have_v strength_n of_o thought_n enough_o to_o search_v into_o thing_n as_o they_o tend_v to_o practice_n and_o the_o event_n and_o shall_v not_o amuse_v themselves_o with_o empty_a sound_n of_o word_n or_o metaphysical_a speculation_n and_o abstract_n confuse_a idea_n they_o will_v send_v after_o a_o impartial_a enquiry_n that_o contradiction_n and_o subject_a and_o slave_n do_v equal_o admit_v of_o a_o mean_a betwixt_o they_o i_o be_o not_o ignorant_a that_o there_o be_v a_o salve_n offer_v whereby_o a_o limit_a monarchy_n and_o subjection_n without_o such_o a_o right_n as_o i_o have_v ascribe_v to_o it_o may_v be_v reconcile_v together_o it_o be_v therefore_o say_v that_o a_o slave_n be_v the_o correlative_a only_o of_o such_o a_o absolute_a monarch_n as_o be_v under_o the_o government_n of_o no_o law_n but_o a_o subject_a be_v of_o such_o a_o limit_a monarch_n as_o have_v his_o sovereign_a power_n regulate_v by_o know_a and_o stand_a law_n which_o indeed_o he_o can_v make_v nor_o repeal_n without_o the_o consent_n of_o

they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v account_v slave_n there_o be_v notwithstanding_o a_o vast_a difference_n between_o a_o absolute_a and_o a_o limit_a monarchy_n for_o first_o a_o limit_a prince_n though_o

can_v neither_o make_v nor_o repeal_v they_o and_o therefore_o he_o can_v never_o alter_v the_o frame_n and_o constitution_n of_o the_o government_n though_o he_o may_v at_o present_a interrupt_v the_o regular_a administration_n of_o it_o and_o this_o be_v a_o great_a security_n to_o posterity_n and_o a_o present_a restraint_n upon_o himself_o second_o it_o be_v a_o mighty_a uneasy_a thing_n to_o any_o prince_n to_o govern_v contrary_a to_o know_v law_n he_o offer_v as_o great_a and_o constant_a violence_n to_o himself_o as_o he_o do_v to_o his_o subject_n the_o breach_n of_o his_o oath_n to_o god_n and_o his_o promise_n and_o engagement_n to_o his_o subject_n make_v the_o exercise_n of_o such_o a_o arbitrary_a power_n very_o troublesome_a and_o though_o his_o subject_n be_v bind_v
