have_v forget_v that_o threaten_n of_o our_o saviour_n that_o he_o will_v deny_v they_o before_o his_o father_n and_o his_o angel_n who_o deny_v he_o before_o man_n otherwise_o you_o dare_v never_o have_v offer_v to_o absolve_v sir_n john_n friend_n all_o his_o sin_n without_o a_o public_a repentance_n for_o his_o public_a denial_n of_o that_o which_o to_o you_o and_o he_o be_v the_o cause_n

hear_v do_v require_v a_o firm_a duty_n and_o allegiance_n to_o our_o sovereign_n and_o that_o as_o no_o foreign_a so_o neither_o any_o domestic_a power_n can_v alienate_v our_o allegiance_n answer_n now_o gentleman_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o cause_n for_o which_o sir_n john_n suffer_v be_v his_o accept_n of_o a_o colonel_n commission_n from_o the_o late_a king_n his_o agree_v to_o invite_v he_o over_o with_o a_o french_a popish_a army_n his_o promise_v to_o join_v he_o with_o two_o hundred_o horse_n for_o his_o own_o part_n choose_v inferior_a officer_n for_o his_o own_o

one_o and_o the_o same_o it_o be_v plain_o that_o which_o divine_n call_v casus_fw-la confessionis_fw-la wherein_o all_o good_a christian_n can_v without_o horror_n do_v any_o otherwise_o than_o answer_v in_o the_o affirmative_a so_o that_o instead_o of_o his_o shameful_a denial_n of_o the_o thing_n and_o solemn_a protestation_n of_o his_o innocence_n as_o to_o the_o matter_n charge_v upon_o he_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v own_a it_o in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o court_n and_o to_o have_v tell_v they_o bold_o with_o the_o heroic_a courage_n of_o the_o primitive_a christian_n that_o he_o do_v firm_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o god_n and_o religion_n whereof_o he_o stand_v indict_v and_o that_o he_o rejoice_v to_o be_v count_v worthy_a to_o suffer_v for_o the_o same_o but_o gentleman_n we_o shall_v come_v yet_o close_o to_o the_o point_n and_o make_v it_o evident_a that_o both_o you_o and_o your_o pretend_a martyr_n have_v base_o betray_v that_o which_o you_o call_v the_o cause_n of_o god_n and_o religion_n sir_n john_n at_o his_o trial_n do_v prove_v it_o by_o many_o witness_n that_o he_o frequent_v the_o public_a worship_n and_o attend_v the_o prayer_n in_o his_o own_o family_n where_o king_n william_n be_v pray_v for_o which_o be_v certain_o a_o piece_n of_o the_o great_a hypocrisy_n that_o any_o man_n can_v be_v guilty_a of_o for_o if_o sir_n john_n do_v firm_o believe_v that_o king_n james_n cause_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o god_n as_o his_o paper_n pretend_v he_o do_v it_o be_v certain_o a_o mock_n of_o the_o almighty_a to_o his_o very_a face_n to_o countenance_v prayer_n himself_o for_o that_o which_o be_v against_o his_o own_o cause_n and_o your_o pretend_v to_o absolve_v that_o wretched_a criminal_a without_o a_o public_a repentance_n for_o have_v so_o public_o disow_v and_o seem_o pray_v against_o that_o which_o you_o and_o he_o do_v firm_o believe_v to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o god_n proclaim_v you_o traitor_n to_o heaven_n as_o well_o as_o to_o our_o country_n but_o gentleman_n to_o make_v it_o as_o easy_a for_o you_o as_o the_o case_n will_v beat_v king_n william_n have_v no_o reason_n to_o be_v angry_a with_o you_o for_o not_o oblige_v sir_n william_n perkins_n to_o express_v his_o sorrow_n for_o be_v concern_v in_o the_o horrid_a design_n of_o assassinate_v his_o royal_a person_n before_o you_o pronounce_v your_o absolution_n over_o he_o see_v you_o do_v also_o absolve_v sir_n john_n friend_n without_o any_o profession_n of_o public_a repentance_n for_o have_v renounce_v the_o cause_n of_o god_n gentleman_n i_o shall_v only_o add_v on_o this_o head_n that_o you_o and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o absolve_a fraternity_n seem_v real_o to_o have_v acquire_v as_o much_o dominion_n over_o the_o conscience_n of_o your_o disciple_n as_o be_v false_o ascribe_v to_o the_o pope_n by_o those_o who_o worship_n the_o beast_n viz._n that_o he_o can_v make_v vice_n virtue_n and_o virtue_n vice_n otherwise_o those_o poor_a delude_a creature_n can_v never_o be_v so_o stupid_a as_o to_o think_v they_o suffer_v for_o the_o cause_n of_o god_n when_o they_o be_v actual_o punish_v for_o endeavour_v to_o bring_v in_o a_o french_a power_n to_o establish_v a_o prince_n on_o the_o thone_n who_o during_o the_o whole_a tenor_n of_o his_o life_n have_v show_v himself_o a_o irreconcilable_a enemy_n to_o the_o protestant_a religion_n appear_v at_o the_o head_n of_o a_o horrid_a plot_n against_o it_o when_o a_o subject_n and_o endeavour_v its_o subversion_n when_o a_o sovereign_n contrary_a to_o his_o coronation_n oath_n as_o to_o sir_n john_n knowledge_n and_o information_n of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n it_o be_v very_o well_o know_v and_o appear_v at_o his_o trial_n to_o be_v so_o very_o little_a that_o if_o his_o father_n confessor_n have_v consult_v either_o his_o credit_n or_o their_o own_o they_o will_v certain_o have_v strike_v out_o this_o part_n of_o his_o paper_n but_o that_o our_o law_n require_v a_o firm_a allegiance_n to_o our_o sovereign_n and_o assert_v that_o no_o foreign_a or_o domestic_a power_n can_v alienate_v our_o allegiance_n i_o believe_v sir_n john_n may_v have_v venture_v to_o swear_v it_o though_o he_o have_v never_o see_v a_o statute-book_n for_o the_o question_n be_v not_o whether_o we_o own_o unalienable_a allegiance_n to_o our_o sovereign_n but_o whether_o or_o not_o one_o who_o have_v be_v our_o sovereign_n can_v forfeit_v his_o title_n to_o our_o allegiance_n which_o i_o be_o sure_a consider_v sir_n john_n education_n and_o qualification_n be_v a_o question_n too_o knotty_a for_o he_o to_o resolve_v and_o therefore_o gentleman_n absolver_n the_o follow_a proposition_n be_v recommend_v to_o your_o consideration_n viz._n that_o all_o lawful_a sovereign_n have_v either_o their_o commission_n from_o god_n or_o the_o people_n or_o to_o speak_v better_a sense_n god_n and_o the_o people_n commission_n to_o their_o sovereign_n be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o god_n commission_n to_o the_o sovereign_n both_o in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n be_v to_o encourage_v the_o good_a and_o to_o punish_v and_o be_v a_o terror_n to_o the_o evil_a doer_n as_o appear_v from_o deut._n 17._o 15._o etc._n etc._n and_o rom._n 13._o 1._o etc._n etc._n and_o certain_o the_o commission_n of_o all_o people_n who_o be_v not_o fit_a for_o bedlam_n and_o bridewell_n than_o humane_a society_n be_v that_o the_o king_n shall_v make_v use_n of_o his_o authority_n for_o the_o benefit_n and_o preservation_n of_o the_o community_n over_o who_o he_o be_v constitute_v sovereign_a so_o that_o if_o he_o either_o invert_v his_o commission_n or_o act_n contrary_a thereunto_o by_o encourage_v the_o bad_a and_o afflict_v the_o good_a and_o declare_v that_o he_o will_v continue_v to_o do_v so_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o in_o so_o do_v he_o neither_o act_n by_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n nor_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o people_n and_o that_o when_o they_o resist_v he_o as_o act_v thus_o they_o do_v not_o resist_v authority_n but_o only_o the_o extravagancy_n of_o a_o usurper_n and_o that_o if_o god_n shall_v think_v fit_a to_o claim_v the_o forfeiture_n of_o his_o commission_n either_o by_o his_o own_o immediate_a hand_n as_o by_o frenzy_n or_o any_o other_o moral_a incapacity_n or_o mediate_o by_o the_o representatives_n of_o the_o join_a people_n he_o become_v thereby_o ipso_fw-la facto_fw-la divest_v of_o all_o right_n to_o our_o allegiance_n which_o i_o think_v be_v plain_a from_o this_o familiar_a instance_n if_o a_o husband_n violate_v the_o marriage-contract_n and_o upon_o his_o resolution_n of_o continue_v to_o do_v so_o his_o wife_n sue_v out_o a_o divorce_n let_v he_o pretend_v what_o he_o will_v he_o have_v no_o further_a right_n to_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o wife_n from_o the_o injure_a matron_n nor_o can_v she_o be_v say_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o disobedience_n to_o her_o husband_n in_o refuse_v it_o but_o do_v just_o forsake_v he_o as_o a_o divorce_v adulterer_n or_o to_o be_v yet_o more_o plain_a you_o may_v take_v it_o thus_o that_o whatever_o prince_n refuse_v to_o govern_v according_a to_o god_n commission_n have_v no_o positive_a divine_a right_a to_o govern_v at_o all_o and_o by_o consequence_n the_o people_n be_v
