for_o which_o i_o refer_v myself_o to_o what_o pass_v on_o the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o paragraph_n there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o a_o promise_n of_o bare_a obedience_n because_o they_o do_v

the_o bishop_n tell_v we_o plain_o our_o allegiance_n in_o general_n be_v a_o obedience_n according_a to_o law_n which_o he_o explain_v not_o a_o blind_a nor_o absolute_a obedience_n but_o such_o a_o

thing_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o law_n the_o obligation_n of_o our_o obedience_n cease_v and_o we_o may_v refuse_v it_o and_o here_o i_o will_v insert_v what_o the_o bishop_n affirm_v to_o this_o purpose_n in_o his_o measure_n of_o submission_n to_o the_o supreme_a authority_n which_o may_v serve_v to_o clear_v he_o from_o the_o unjust_a and_o malicious_a imputation_n of_o ignorant_a as_o well_o as_o prejudicial_a men._n pag._n 9_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o evident_a than_o that_o england_n be_v a_o free_a nation_n that_o have_v its_o liberty_n and_o property_n reserve_v to_o it_o

it_o be_v also_o evident_o declare_v by_o our_o law_n that_o all_o order_n and_o warrant_n that_o be_v issue_v out_o in_o opposition_n to_o they_o be_v null_a of_o themselves_o and_o by_o

be_v void_a of_o themselves_o be_v indeed_o no_o commission_n in_o the_o construction_n of_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o they_o who_o act_n in_o virtue_n of_o they_o be_v still_o to_o be_v

with_o this_o word_n fact_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v try_v to_o lay_v the_o goblin_n the_o bishop_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o your_o goblin●_n fact_n he_o always_o own_a the_o king_n right_a to_o the_o crown_n to_o be_v legal_a and_o by_o the_o virtual_a consent_n of_o the_o people_n if_o the_o bishop_n chance_v to_o write_v any_o word_n though_o in_o the_o application_n of_o it_o

and_o from_o his_o own_o mistake_n make_v and_o force_v the_o bishop_n to_o say_v or_o write_v any_o thing_n to_o his_o squint_v purpose_n the_o bishop_n apply_v himself_o to_o the_o non_fw-fr juror_n because_o as_o they_o can_v not_o deny_v he_o to_o be_v king_n in_o fact_n that_o be_v to_o be_v in_o possession_n of_o the_o throne_n so_o they_o ought_v to_o swear_v allegiance_n to_o he_o in_o

absolute_a obedience_n or_o else_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n in_o this_o place_n more_o particular_o i_o appeal_v to_o mr._n johnson_n great_a a●mirers_n if_o they_o have_v

bishop_n in_o this_o note_n be_v here_o the_o least_o shadow_n of_o a_o insinuation_n of_o passive_a obedience_n when_o our_o allegiance_n be_v declare_v a_o obedience_n only_o according_a to_o law_n
