A59897	Their present Majesties government proved to be throughly settled, and that we may submit to it, without asserting the principles of Mr. Hobbs shewing also, that allegiance was not due to the usurpers after the late civil war : occasion'd by some late pamphlets against the Reverend Dr. Sherlock.	Sherlock, William, 1641?-1707.	1691 (1691)	Wing S3368; ESTC R9971	21,307	36

from_o his_o right_n than_o the_o act_n of_o recognition_n pass_v by_o king_n james_n the_o first_o do_v suppose_v a_o flaw_n in_o his_o title_n three_o upon_o these_o principle_n we_o may_v also_o

sure_o these_o man_n can_v see_v a_o inch_n before_o they_o and_o i_o be_o almost_o ashamed_a to_o give_v they_o a_o serious_a answer_n let_v they_o tell_v i_o if_o the_o government_n do_v thereby_o crumble_v into_o piece_n by_o what_o right_o do_v our_o then_o representative_n erect_v another_o on_o the_o ruin_n of_o it_o if_o the_o fountain_n of_o honour_n fail_v what_o right_o have_v the_o

do_v by_o our_o representative_n in_o these_o exigency_n we_o may_v as_o well_o say_v the_o government_n be_v dissolve_v when_o the_o king_n leave_v we_o if_o the_o remain_a power_n may_v not_o determine_v where_o we_o shall_v pay_v our_o obedience_n for_o i_o suppose_v those_o confusion_n what_o by_o a_o unruly_a rabble_n and_o a_o disband_v army_n do_v sufficient_o show_v the_o necessity_n of_o fix_v somewhere_o and_o i_o humble_o suppose_v it_o be_v as_o evident_a to_o all_o mankind_n that_o the_o late_a king_n will_v not_o or_o can_v not_o come_v to_o act_n his_o part_n in_o the_o government_n but_o last_o upon_o these_o principle_n if_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o refute_v such_o vile_a reproach_n we_o may_v secure_v our_o last_o unhappy_a prince_n from_o be_v account_v the_o

favourable_a to_o the_o ruin_n of_o majesty_n as_o to_o excuse_v he_o from_o be_v a_o subject_a or_o a_o rebel_n since_o he_o can_v be_v the_o head_n he_o have_v not_o consent_v to_o be_v any_o

in_o our_o estate_n whether_o they_o will_v or_o not_o nor_o upon_o any_o other_o hypothesis_n can_v i_o conceive_v it_o rational_a to_o exclude_v the_o late_a king_n himself_o from_o be_v a_o member_n of_o this_o present_a government_n but_o this_o way_n he_o be_v set_v at_o liberty_n and_o consequent_o as_o free_a to_o invade_v their_o majesty_n dominion_n as_o any_o other_o prince_n if_o he_o molest_v we_o with_o a_o unjust_a war_n he_o must_v expect_v at_o the_o great_a and_o dreadful_a day_n to_o give_v account_n for_o all_o the_o desolation_n and_o bloodshed_n that_o shall_v
