thereupon_o present_o raise_v hue_n and_o cry_n against_o he_o the_o next_o thing_n be_v our_o author_n discourse_n about_o passive_a obedience_n to_o no_o law_n or_o submission_n to_o illegal_a

now_o take_v by_o these_o man_n to_o erect_v their_o new_a frame_n of_o passive_a obedience_n or_o arbitrary_a government_n call_v it_o which_o you_o will_v for_o whether_o another_o have_v right_a to_o my_o good_n or_o if_o he_o demand_v they_o i_o have_v no_o right_a to_o keep_v they_o it_o be_v all_o one_o whether_o he_o have_v a_o right_a of_o send_v the_o bowstring_n or_o if_o he_o send_v

the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o ancient_a father_n as_o for_o what_o the_o father_n say_v who_o live_v in_o the_o old_a world_n before_o the_o establishment_n of_o christianity_n it_o do_v my_o answerer_n no_o service_n at_o all_o because_o it_o be_v all_o foreign_a and_o do_v not_o concern_v the_o present_a case_n and_o as_o for_o quotation_n since_o constantine_n time_n i_o think_v i_o be_o not_o in_o their_o debt_n which_o quotation_n of_o i_o make_v the_o more_o against_o this_o passive_a doctrine_n because_o the_o father_n all_o along_o live_v under_o a_o more_o absolute_a and_o arbitrary_a

breathe_v nothing_o but_o bondage_n and_o absolute_a subjection_n i_o can_v easy_o have_v account_v for_o it_o whereas_o their_o dissenter_n saying_n can_v never_o be_v solve_v by_o all_o the_o
