be_v a_o disclaimer_n of_o that_o trust_n though_o he_o do_v not_o disclaim_v it_o by_o a_o formal_a deed._n from_o all_o this_o they_o draw_v these_o just_a consequence_n that_o king_n james_n have_v act_v contrary_a to_o his_o trust_n have_v abdicate_v his_o government_n and_o that_o have_v abdicate_v it_o the_o throne_n be_v thereby_o become_v vacant_a but_o the_o lord_n insist_v that_o the_o

throne_n be_v not_o vacant_a the_o commons_o upon_o this_o demand_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v tell_v they_o with_o who_o the_o throne_n be_v fill_v the_o lord_n only_o answer_v in_o general_a that_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o know_v that_o there_o be_v heir_n to_o take_v by_o lineal_a succession_n though_o they_o do_v not_o or_o can_v not_o express_o name_v the_o particular_a person_n who_o

commons_o then_o represent_v to_o the_o lord_n that_o their_o lordship_n will_v neither_o agree_v that_o the_o throne_n be_v vacant_a nor_o say_v how_o it_o be_v full_a and_o desire_v to_o know_v who_o be_v king_n if_o king_n james_n be_v not_o or_o be_v they_o to_o be_v always_o in_o that_o doubtful_a condition_n for_o none_o can_v be_v king_n james_n his_o heir_n during_o his_o life_n the_o

to_o come_v in_o as_o by_o hereditary_a succession_n the_o commons_o reply_v that_o their_o lordship_n hold_v it_o a_o difficult_a thing_n to_o go_v upon_o the_o examination_n who_o be_v heir_n and_o demand_v if_o that_o be_v not_o clear_a whether_o they_o be_v always_o to_o remain_v under_o the_o difficulty_n as_o for_o the_o commons_o they_o be_v not_o concern_v what_o word_n be_v use_v fill_v

now_o fain_o to_o trim_v the_o matter_n with_o loose_a general_a talk_n and_o soften_a interpretation_n but_o then_o the_o sense_n of_o original_a contract_n run_v through_o all_o our_o law-book_n the_o unanswerable_a mr._n johnson_n have_v cite_v so_o many_o so_o clear_a testimony_n of_o this_o that_o i_o will_v only_o mention_v the_o confession_n of_o a_o english_a monarch_n king_n james_n i._n who_o though_o he_o use_v not_o the_o word_n contract_n yet_o he_o do_v a_o synonimous_a if_o paction_n signify_v the_o same_o as_o contract_n in_o his_o speech_n to_o the_o parliament_n 1603._o he_o set_v down_o the_o just_a distinction_n between_o a_o king_n and_o a_o parliament_n but_o in_o his_o speech_n to_o they_o 1609._o he_o have_v these_o word_n the_o king_n bind_v himself_o by_o a_o double_a oath_n to_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o fundamental_a law_n of_o his_o kingdom_n tacit_o as_o by_o be_v king_n and_o so_o bind_v to_o protect_v as_o well_o the_o people_n as_o the_o law_n of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o express_o by_o his_o oath_n at_o his_o coronation_n so_o as_o every_o just_a king_n in_o a_o settle_a kingdom_n be_v bind_v to_o observe_v that_o paction_n make_v to_o his_o

beginning_n of_o all_o form_n of_o government_n can_v not_o but_o proceed_v from_o the_o choice_n or_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n it_o be_v true_a god_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o power_n but_o he_o do_v not_o communicate_v it_o immediate_o to_o man_n at_o least_o he_o have_v not_o do_v so_o in_o these_o late_a age_n nay_o in_o the_o designation_n of_o saul_n and_o david_n which_o be_v record_v to_o have_v be_v from_o god_n it_o be_v remarkable_a that_o after_o the_o divine_a unction_n the_o people_n assemble_v and_o by_o their_o vote_n free_o choose_v they_o and_o before_o the_o people_n choice_n they_o be_v not_o actual_o king_n of_o israel_n but_o i_o will_v make_v short_a of_o this_o matter_n original_a contract_n there_o must_v have_v be_v between_o king_n and_o people_n wherever_o lawful_a power_n be_v exercise_v by_o a_o king_n because_o king_n be_v not_o immediate_o choose_v of_o god_n but_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o a_o power_n to_o do_v mischief_n which_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v resist_v never_o can_v be_v because_o it_o be_v against_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n to_o give_v such_o a_o power_n to_o any_o man_n and_o that_o which_o incline_v people_n to_o set_v up_o a_o king_n over_o they_o restrain_v they_o from_o give_v he_o such_o a_o power_n if_o this_o be_v a_o digression_n i_o beg_v the_o reader_n pardon_v but_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v full_o prove_v that_o at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o convention_n when_o it_o be_v confess_v we_o be_v without_o a_o settle_a form_n of_o government_n so_o that_o the_o lord_n of_o their_o own_o free_a motion_n

by_o the_o choice_n of_o the_o community_n and_o if_o they_o have_v not_o make_v so_o wise_a a_o choice_n as_o they_o do_v in_o the_o person_n of_o king_n william_n yet_o his_o title_n will_v have_v be_v lawful_a and_o rightful_a because_o his_o person_n be_v the_o free_a choice_n of_o the_o community_n at_o that_o time_n when_o they_o have_v no_o king_n but_o notwithstanding_o this_o plain_a state_n of_o the_o case_n and_o as_o i_o presume_v to_o think_v these_o unanswerable_a reason_n the_o old_a tyrannical_a doctrine_n have_v still_o a_o spread_a root_n and_o though_o the_o common_a
