to_o have_v the_o right_n to_o the_o allegiance_n yet_o where_o the_o law_n have_v give_v the_o right_n these_o moral_a and_o natural_a duty_n carry_v all_o their_o obedience_n to_o it_o the_o

be_v more_o doubtful_a and_o real_o disputable_a it_o will_v be_v a_o less_o offence_n to_o mistake_v it_o but_o so_o far_o as_o we_o pay_v our_o duty_n and_o obedience_n against_o the_o human_a law_n and_o legal_a right_n we_o pay_v they_o also_o against_o the_o divine_a law_n and_o moral_a duty_n but_o this_o disobedience_n and_o breach_n both_o of_o divine_a and_o human_a law_n in_o such_o
