A77897	An enquiry into the measures of submission to the supream authority And of the grounds upon which it may be lawful, or necessary for subjects, to defend their religion lives and liberties.	Burnet, Gilbert, 1643-1715.	1689 (1689)	Wing B5809B; ESTC R223572	11,388	16

in_o time_n of_o peace_n and_o man_n who_o withdraw_v from_o that_o illegal_a service_n be_v hang_v up_o as_o criminal_n without_o any_o colour_n of_o law_n which_o by_o consequence_n be_v so_o many_o

case_n a_o king_n may_v fall_v from_o his_o power_n and_o in_o other_o case_n that_o he_o may_v fall_v from_o the_o exercise_n of_o it_o his_o desert_v his_o people_n his_o go_v about_o to_o enslave_v

the_o case_n of_o portugal_n the_o next_o heir_n fall_v natural_o to_o be_v the_o guardian_n the_o next_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v be_v to_o see_v in_o fact_n whether_o the_o foundation_n of_o this_o government_n have_v be_v strike_v at_o and_o whether_o those_o ertor_n that_o have_v be_v perhaps_o commit_v be_v only_o such_o malver●atians_n as_o aught_o to_o be_v impute_v only_o to_o

so_o that_o it_o be_v real_o a_o dissolution_n of_o the_o government_n since_o all_o trial_n sentence_n and_o the_o execution_n of_o they_o be_v become_v so_o many_o unlawful_a act_n that_o be_v
