under_o the_o pretext_n and_o colour_n of_o passive-obedience_n will_v fain_o destroy_v our_o present_a settlement_n and_o allegiance_n i_o say_v as_o to_o they_o methinks_v the_o doctor_n be_v argument_n be_v as_o full_a and_o convince_a as_o either_o they_o can_v expect_v or_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n can_v bear_v and_o it_o be_v well_o for_o those_o that_o the_o doctor_n have_v so_o many_o enemy_n to_o keep_v they_o in_o countenance_n that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o better_a able_a to_o withstand_v his_o reason_n i_o say_v therefore_o if_o the_o doctor_n be_v adversary_n argument_n from_o the_o right_n of_o resistance_n can_v move_v they_o yet_o the_o doctor_n be_v from_o the_o right_n of_o conquest_n must_v do_v it_o or_o else_o there_o be_v no_o prince_n may_v be_v in_o the_o world_n at_o least_o very_a few_o have_v any_o right_n at_o best_a original_o to_o their_o throne_n in_o truth_n the_o doctor_n be_v right_a by_o conquest_n be_v as_o well_o the_o most_o comprehensive_a as_o the_o most_o justifiable_a title_n and_o indeed_o the_o doctor_n be_v king_n settle_v quiet_o and_o entire_o by_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n in_o possession_n be_v the_o resistances_n man_n king_n by_o a_o new_a election_n and_o be_v the_o quarrel_n about_o word_n take_v away_o they_o will_v amount_v to_o just_a the_o same_o thing_n no_o but_o you_o say_v it_o be_v the_o election_n give_v the_o title_n and_o not_o the_o consent_n to_o possession_n i_o say_v it_o be_v false_a the_o consent_n to_o possession_n argue_v a_o election_n though_o not_o a_o formal_a one_o and_o it_o be_v such_o a_o election_n that_o no_o christian_a i_o be_o sure_a can_v evade_v with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n indeed_o without_o man_n will_v be_v treacherous_a and_o that_o barbarous_o too_o they_o owe_v allegiance_n where_o they_o receive_v protection_n and_o he_o must_v neither_o pretend_v to_o generosity_n honour_n or_o conscience_n that_o will_v not_o pay_v it_o a_o generous_a enemy_n will_v scorn_v to_o stoop_v to_o so_o mean_v a_o dissimulation_n a_o man_n of_o honour_n will_v take_v the_o field_n against_o such_o a_o usurper_n and_o a_o man_n of_o the_o least_o conscience_n will_v soon_o die_v than_o he_o will_v play_v the_o viper_n in_o the_o fable_n sting_v he_o to_o death_n that_o give_v he_o warmth_n and_o life_n or_o at_o the_o best_a pretence_n do_v evil_a that_o good_a may_v come_v and_o ungrateful_o receive_v the_o courtesy_n of_o a_o friend_n the_o more_o base_o to_o do_v the_o vile_a i_o shall_v say_v office_n unworthy_a of_o a_o enemy_n indeed_o popery_n as_o it_o have_v corrupt_v our_o religion_n so_o it_o have_v our_o moral_n also_o and_o have_v make_v even_a christian_n to_o do_v those_o thing_n that_o the_o honest_a heathen_n will_v blush_v at_o but_o as_o they_o have_v i_o hope_v we_o will_v not_o corrupt_v with_o they_o and_o think_v to_o conquer_v they_o by_o out-villaning_a of_o they_o but_o rather_o brave_o at_o least_o ourselves_o be_v good_a and_o honest_a and_o deter_v they_o from_o their_o black_a and_o devilish_a practice_n by_o a_o vengeance_n and_o resentment_n suitable_a to_o their_o demerit_n in_o short_a if_o there_o be_v either_o law_n or_o right_n of_o war_n and_o peace_n a_o government_n by_o consent_n be_v as_o just_a as_o by_o election_n and_o as_o secure_v a_o bottom_n to_o found_v it_o 〈◊〉_d and_o if_o man_n be_v resolve_v to_o cavil_v they_o may_v just_o do_v it_o at_o a_o right_n through_o election_n than_o possession_n for_o instance_n when_o a_o government_n be_v dissolve_v pardon_v the_o expression_n why_o be_o i_o bind_v to_o stand_v to_o any_o man_n or_o council_n election_n for_o i_o why_o shall_v some_o vill_n and_o yet_o not_o some_o whole_a city_n send_v member_n to_o convention_n indeed_o be_v i_o not_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n bind_v to_o study_n and_o follow_v the_o best_a method_n of_o peace_n where_o be_v otherwise_o my_o obligation_n to_o these_o thing_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v the_o doctor_n be_v argument_n that_o as_o god_n manifest_o allow_v indeed_o require_v change_n in_o state_n so_o he_o confirm_v the_o new_a model_n by_o its_o entire_a settlement_n be_v irrefragable_a against_o all_o the_o attack_n either_o of_o passive-obedience_n or_o resistance-man_n in_o the_o world_n and_o the_o objection_n about_o usurper_n against_o it_o be_v as_o idle_a as_o weak_a in_o plain_a term_n we_o exclaim_v in_o compliment_n to_o new_a and_o rightful_a prince_n at_o the_o removal_n of_o usurper_n but_o in_o truth_n whoever_o by_o force_n or_o otherwise_o have_v once_o secure_v to_o himself_o peaceable_o the_o possession_n and_o enjoyment_n of_o a_o throne_n be_v at_o least_o to_o his_o subject_n as_o good_a a_o king_n as_o either_o the_o right_n of_o conquest_n or_o election_n can_v make_v he_o have_v the_o usurper_n no_o right_n why_o do_v you_o transmit_v it_o then_o to_o he_o by_o a_o pusillanimous_a submission_n and_o why_o do_v you_o not_o at_o the_o first_o approach_n of_o the_o wrong_n fly_v to_o arm_n and_o counsel_n to_o resist_v the_o injustice_n and_o to_o support_v the_o injure_a prince_n but_o if_o base_o you_o once_o sacrifice_v your_o loyalty_n and_o his_o right_n by_o at_o least_o a_o implicit_a contract_n of_o allegiance_n think_v you_o like_o a_o coward_n and_o a_o arch-traitor_n afterward_o to_o reassume_a that_o right_n you_o have_v resign_v and_o mean_o to_o take_v advantage_n from_o your_o own_o villainy_n nay_o more_o to_o push_v this_o argument_n home_o further_o such_o a_o title_n through_o possession_n exceed_v all_o the_o election_n in_o the_o world_n a_o quiet_a possession_n show_v a_o complete_a election_n whilst_o a_o formal_a one_o by_o a_o convention_n or_o otherwise_o may_v be_v corrupt_a and_o pack_v and_o more_o unjust_a and_o illegal_a than_o the_o tyrant_n and_o usurper_n himself_o in_o plain_a term_n be_v any_o convention_n or_o parliament_n so_o pack_v and_o can_v you_o think_v any_o honest_a subject_n thereupon_o bind_v to_o leave_v his_o lawful_a sovereign_n against_o his_o consent_n and_o conscience_n which_o it_o be_v evident_a when_o either_o by_o inadvertency_n or_o treachery_n he_o have_v suffer_v a_o usurper_n even_o for_o but_o a_o month_n to_o enjoy_v quiet_a possession_n he_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v have_v therefore_o i_o hope_v sufficient_o clear_v the_o doctor_n hitherto_o i_o shall_v try_v to_o descend_v a_o little_a further_o to_o free_v he_o from_o those_o calumny_n that_o be_v cast_v against_o he_o from_o the_o topic_n of_o passive-obedience_n etc._n etc._n not_o but_o that_o his_o adversary_n as_o i_o have_v observe_v have_v deal_v very_o unfair_o with_o he_o in_o this_o thing_n for_o when_o his_o argument_n as_o i_o have_v show_v may_v just_o have_v be_v maintain_v without_o the_o least_o thought_n of_o passive-obedience_n or_o affront_a the_o government_n i_o say_v what_o need_v his_o adversary_n to_o bring_v in_o those_o thing_n upon_o it_o indeed_o do_v it_o not_o seem_v mere_o as_o it_o be_v to_o calumniate_v he_o as_o if_o they_o will_v insinuate_v all_o that_o the_o doctor_n have_v write_v be_v wrong_n because_o we_o have_v already_o prejudicate_v he_o in_o that_o one_o error_n of_o passive-obedience_n i_o say_v therefore_o as_o i_o be_o by_o all_o circumstance_n hitherto_o convince_v of_o the_o doctor_n be_v integrity_n and_o as_o this_o prejudice_n of_o passive-obedience_n be_v reflect_v upon_o he_o whether_o beside_o the_o purpose_n or_o not_o at_o present_a i_o shall_v not_o regard_v but_o as_o i_o be_o resolve_v to_o vindicate_v he_o thorough_o and_o as_o the_o prospect_n of_o his_o cause_n do_v not_o afford_v i_o any_o thing_n to_o discourage_v i_o so_o i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o to_o show_v his_o adversary_n that_o for_o all_o what_o they_o have_v write_v against_o passive-obedience_n it_o be_v not_o so_o contemptible_a a_o doctrine_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v hoot_v out_o of_o the_o world_n for_o it_o or_o that_o the_o doctor_n shall_v lose_v his_o reputation_n through_o profess_v it_o and_o i_o venture_v to_o write_v this_o as_o i_o have_v say_v though_o i_o do_v not_o believe_v the_o doctrine_n myself_o for_o as_o the_o argument_n the_o doctor_n adversary_n insist_v upon_o against_o it_o be_v irrationalness_n and_o enthusiasm_n and_o as_o i_o be_v from_o quite_o another_o topick_n the_o want_n of_o clear_a revelation_n for_o it_o i_o say_v as_o we_o reason_v quite_o from_o different_a ground_n and_o as_o i_o apprehend_v his_o adversary_n ground_n very_o insufficient_a i_o think_v i_o may_v just_o vindicate_v the_o doctrine_n as_o to_o they_o though_o i_o neither_o believe_v it_o no●_n desire_v to_o set_v it_o up_o myself_o and_o this_o i_o conceive_v will_v be_v a_o sufficient_a vindication_n of_o the_o doctor_n in_o the_o case_n that_o though_o he_o may_v be_v in_o a_o error_n it_o be_v not_o so_o gross_a as_o
