government_n for_o he_o be_v resolve_v not_o to_o be_v reason_v into_o they_o he_o can_v deny_v all_o as_o fail_v either_o in_o the_o antecedent_n or_o consequent_a p._n 32._o the_o power_n of_o this_o kingdom_n he_o must_v have_v unlimited_a he_o will_v give_v no_o reason_n for_o it_o nor_o hear_v no_o reason_n against_o it_o yet_o since_o he_o profess_v himself_o a_o resolver_n of_o conscience_n let_v i_o therefore_o be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o propose_v certain_a case_n to_o he_o 1._o why_o in_o the_o late_a oath_n propose_v to_o be_v take_v by_o all_o his_o majesty_n subject_n the_o power_n of_o enact_v statute_n be_v swear_v to_o be_v joint_o in_o the_o king_n majesty_n lord_n and_o commons_o in_o parliament_n certes_o the_o doctor_n write_v this_o reply_n before_o that_o oath_n be_v print_v in_o oxford_n or_o else_o he_o do_v not_o consider_v of_o it_o he_o can_v say_v i_o hope_v there_o be_v but_o few_o of_o his_o counsel_n about_o he_o when_o that_o be_v frame_v if_o the_o doctor_n have_v take_v it_o he_o have_v forswear_v this_o passage_n of_o his_o reply_n and_o swear_v they_o a_o joint_n enact_v power_n 2._o why_o we_o be_v enjoin_v to_o swear_v that_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o subject_n of_o england_n be_v not_o oblige_v by_o any_o act_n make_v either_o by_o the_o king_n majesty_n sole_o or_o the_o house_n sole_o etc._n etc._n sure_o the_o doctor_n have_v abjure_v his_o other_o assertion_n of_o the_o unlimited_a power_n of_o the_o king_n if_o he_o have_v take_v this_o oath_n for_o if_o power_n be_v sole_o he_o than_o a_o act_n make_v by_o he_o sole_o be_v oblige_v if_o they_o be_v not_o obligatorie_n they_o be_v not_o authoritative_a and_o so_o the_o mixture_n and_o limitation_n be_v in_o the_o authority_n itself_o here_o be_v no_o place_n leave_v for_o his_o distinction_n of_o active_a and_o passion_n subjection_n for_o 1._o will_v any_o think_v that_o the_o intent_n be_v to_o swear_v man_n to_o be_v bind_v not_o to_o do_v but_o to_o suffer_v 2._o the_o belief_n of_o a_o non-obligation_n proceed_v indifferent_o and_o as_o full_o concern_v the_o sole_a act_n of_o the_o king_n we_o the_o house_n but_o i_o believe_v the_o doctor_n will_v not_o say_v we_o be_v oblige_v to_o passive_a subjection_n to_o the_o sole_a act_n of_o the_o house_n 3._o i_o will_v know_v if_o the_o state_n do_v limit_v only_o moral_o what_o they_o do_v which_o be_v not_o do_v without_o they_o a_o promise_n and_o oath_n do_v limit_v moral_o without_o they_o he_o will_v say_v they_o may_v admonish_v he_o and_o deny_v their_o consent_n and_o so_o judge_v his_o act_n invalid_a he_o mean_v still_o moral_o invalid_a and_o so_o will_v they_o be_v without_o they_o 4._o suppose_v the_o monarch_n mind_v to_o establish_v a_o law_n which_o he_o judge_v needful_a and_o the_o state_n be_v averse_a he_o enact_v it_o without_o they_o be_v it_o not_o a_o law_n it_o have_v all_o the_o legislative_a authority_n in_o it_o he_o will_v say_v it_o be_v not_o due_o make_v 1._o i_o grant_v it_o but_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o law_n for_o it_o have_v all_o the_o power_n of_o a_o law_n 2._o but_o be_v it_o not_o due_o make_v why_o the_o power_n of_o last_o decision_n be_v in_o the_o king_n alone_o suppose_v he_o define_v that_o the_o intent_n of_o his_o predecessor_n in_o grant_v this_o consent_a power_n to_o the_o house_n have_v no_o intent_n to_o hinder_v but_o further_o themselves_o in_o establish_v good_a law_n and_o therefore_o now_o they_o not_o concur_v by_o assent_n to_o this_o needful_a act_n he_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v hinder_v but_o may_v lawful_o do_v it_o without_o they_o he_o be_v the_o last_o judge_n in_o this_o case_n and_o it_o must_v be_v hold_v ever_o lawful_o enact_v so_o that_o in_o the_o result_n here_o be_v leave_v to_o these_o state_n by_o the_o doctor_n ground_n neither_o civil_a nor_o moral_a limitation_n but_o at_o pleasure_n 5._o if_o limitation_n in_o our_o government_n exempt_a subject_n from_o a_o necessity_n of_o active_a subjection_n but_o not_o from_o passive_a how_o be_v it_o that_o our_o law_n do_v not_o only_o determine_v what_o the_o monarch_n shall_v command_v but_o also_o what_o he_o shall_v inflict_v what_o shall_v be_v account_v rebellion_n what_o felony_n etc._n etc._n and_o what_o not_o also_o what_o he_o shall_v inflict_v for_o this_o crime_n and_o that_o crime_n and_o what_o not_o sith_o the_o law_n limit_v what_o he_o shall_v command_v do_v limit_n our_o necessity_n of_o active_a subjection_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o law_n limit_v what_o he_o shall_v inflict_v do_v limit_n our_o necessity_n of_o passive_a subjection_n here_o be_v no_o evasion_n by_o say_v the_o law_n do_v limit_v he_o moral_o what_o he_o shall_v inflict_v and_o if_o he_o inflict_v beyond_o law_n he_o sin_n in_o it_o but_o we_o must_v suffer_v for_o the_o doctor_n acknowledge_v that_o the_o law_n define_v what_o he_o shall_v command_v do_v so_o limit_v our_o active_a subjection_n that_o we_o have_v a_o simple_a exemption_n from_o any_o necessity_n of_o do_v and_o therefore_o also_o the_o law_n define_v what_o he_o shall_v inflict_v do_v so_o limit_v our_o passive_a subjection_n that_o we_o have_v a_o simple_a exemption_n from_o any_o necessity_n of_o suffering_n beyond_o those_o limitation_n for_o also_o if_o they_o do_v not_o free_v we_o from_o passive_a subjection_n it_o be_v unlawful_a not_o only_o to_o resist_v but_o also_o to_o avoid_v suffer_v even_o by_o flight_n 6._o when_o the_o liberty_n of_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la and_o other_o grant_n have_v be_v get_v and_o preserve_v and_o recover_v at_o the_o rate_n of_o so_o much_o trouble_n suit_n expense_n and_o blood_n whither_o by_o all_o that_o ado_n be_v intend_v only_o a_o moral_a liberty_n definement_n in_o the_o monarch_n and_o not_o also_o of_o the_o power_n itself_o only_o that_o he_o may_v not_o lawful_o exorbitate_fw-la from_o establish_a law_n and_o not_o also_o that_o he_o may_v have_v no_o authority_n or_o power_n to_o exorbitate_fw-la at_o all_o sure_o this_o be_v their_o aim_n for_o the_o former_a he_o can_v not_o do_v before_o 7._o the_o law_n grant_v a_o writ_n of_o rebellion_n against_o he_o who_o refuse_v to_o obey_v the_o sentence_n of_o the_o judge_n though_o he_o have_v a_o express_a act_n of_o the_o king_n will_n to_o warrant_v he_o do_v it_o not_o suppose_v those_o exceed_a and_o extrajudiciall_a act_n of_o the_o king_n will_n to_o be_v unauthoritative_a and_o unable_a to_o privilege_v a_o man_n from_o resistance_n if_o the_o doctor_n by_o his_o faculty_n can_v resolve_v these_o case_n he_o will_v do_v much_o in_o way_n of_o satisfaction_n of_o my_o conscience_n but_o if_o he_o can_v they_o will_v prove_v so_o many_o convince_a argument_n that_o the_o power_n of_o the_o monarch_n in_o this_o frame_n be_v not_o unlimited_a now_o have_v make_v good_a my_o assertion_n i_o expect_v another_o work_n sc_n a_o examination_n of_o his_o reason_n for_o unlimitednesse_n and_o simplicity_n of_o monarchical_a power_n but_o he_o be_v not_o guilty_a of_o my_o fault_n he_o do_v not_o go_v so_o much_o as_o to_o reason_v we_o into_o a_o belief_n of_o it_o he_o do_v in_o vain_a express_v a_o desire_n he_o have_v that_o some_o skilful_a lawyer_n or_o divine_n will_v help_v he_o at_o this_o dead_a lift_n yet_o he_o be_v like_a to_o go_v alone_o in_o this_o wild_a untrodden_a path_n of_o defend_v a_o unresistiblenesse_n on_o such_o supposal_n shall_v we_o think_v any_o divine_a will_v second_v he_o in_o
