may_v be_v as_o perilous_a as_o when_o he_o storm_v a_o castle_n or_o take_v a_o town_n we_o have_v hear_v of_o these_o man_n crime_n and_o sometime_o of_o their_o absolution_n but_o not_o a_o word_n of_o any_o public_a repentance_n for_o public_a sin_n but_o all_o go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n with_o a_o quiet_a mind_n or_o be_v only_o sorry_a their_o attempt_n succeed_v not_o now_o this_o can_v proceed_v from_o no_o other_o cause_n but_o from_o that_o sole_a principle_n and_o opinion_n that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o resist_v and_o to_o imbrue_v their_o hand_n in_o that_o sacred_a blood_n which_o have_v be_v too_o frequent_o and_o too_o far_o expose_v in_o our_o defence_n i_o wish_v that_o sort_n of_o man_n will_v deal_v fair_o and_o instead_o of_o vend_v among_o the_o people_n those_o jesuitical_a notion_n and_o speculation_n they_o will_v go_v direct_o to_o the_o prince_n chamber_n and_o tell_v they_o he_o and_o give_v he_o timely_a notice_n to_o look_v to_o himself_o for_o that_o they_o will_v rebel_n when_o they_o please_v and_o themselves_o be_v the_o proper_a judge_n of_o their_o own_o time_n this_o be_v the_o real_a truth_n of_o the_o matter_n and_o man_n who_o justify_v resistance_n and_o intend_v to_o practice_v it_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o ask_v the_o king_n leave_n when_o they_o go_v about_o it_o do_v not_o wait_v for_o a_o order_n of_o council_n or_o a_o

of_o resist_a king_n maintain_v all_o principle_n of_o confusion_n in_o one_o word_n for_o first_o it_o will_v be_v hard_a to_o distinguish_v between_o resistance_n and_o rebellion_n they_o be_v

lawful_o resist_v no_o man_n can_v lawful_o hinder_v he_o or_o put_v a_o stop_n to_o his_o resistance_n for_o what_o have_v any_o man_n to_o do_v to_o hinder_v or_o molest_v i_o when_o i_o be_o do_v a_o lawful_a thing_n i_o be_o then_o about_o my_o lawful_a employment_n three_o if_o resistance_n be_v lawful_a and_o man_n do_v lawful_a action_n be_v not_o to_o be_v hinder_v or_o molest_v be_v sure_a upon_o that_o account_n they_o can_v lawful_o be_v punish_v and_o then_o all_o treason_n may_v go_v on_o and_o prosper_v and_o now_o as_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o pray_v for_o king_n and_o all_o in_o authority_n so_o it_o be_v no_o less_o our_o duty_n to_o teach_v such_o doctrine_n as_o may_v secure_v to_o they_o the_o possession_n of_o that_o power_n and_o sovereignty_n they_o have_v over_o we_o and_o the_o duty_n and_o allegiance_n we_o owe_v they_o as_o god_n minister_n for_o our_o good_a it_o be_v not_o affection_n alone_o nor_o be_v it_o principle_n alone_o that_o render_v king_n safe_a in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o their_o crown_n and_o dignity_n principle_n may_v be_v too_o weak_a when_o affection_n be_v lose_v and_o go_v and_o affection_n for_o a_o prince_n without_o

for_o a_o prince_n and_o a_o principle_n of_o conscience_n be_v join_v and_o unite_v they_o make_v a_o bond_n that_o will_v hold_v a_o samson_n and_o which_o the_o strong_a man_n can_v break_v but_o to_o conclude_v first_o our_o law_n and_o our_o public_a prayer_n complain_v of_o a_o murder_n commit_v as_o on_o this_o day_n and_o of_o the_o shed_v royal_a blood_n let_v we_o mourn_v and_o sorrow_n

that_o although_o there_o be_v upon_o our_o land_n the_o gild_n of_o blood_n yet_o we_o be_v not_o those_o savage_n that_o delight_v in_o blood_n second_o god_n in_o his_o justice_n take_v away_o
