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

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
