but_o since_o the_o french_a conduct_n seem_v to_o be_v now_o admire_v by_o this_o sort_n of_o man_n i_o shall_v bring_v some_o remarkable_a instance_n from_o they_o it_o be_v notorious_a to_o the_o

for_o this_o they_o publish_v a_o account_n to_o the_o world_n of_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o and_o the_o chief_a be_v this_o 117._o viz._n that_o they_o have_v reason_n to_o suspect_v that_o from_o

and_o a_o desire_n of_o some_o great_a liberty_n than_o they_o enjoy_v under_o it_o why_o then_o shall_v it_o be_v now_o think_v a_o unjust_a thing_n for_o a_o sovereign_a prince_n so_o near_o

that_o opportunity_n have_v be_v lose_v they_o may_v before_o this_o time_n have_v be_v past_o all_o reasonable_a hope_n of_o recovery_n ii_o but_o suppose_v this_o be_v allow_v yet_o here_o be_v another_o difficulty_n arise_v concern_v the_o transfer_v allegiance_n from_o a_o lawful_a prince_n to_o he_o that_o meet_v with_o unexpected_a success_n in_o his_o design_n and_o here_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o make_v it_o plain_a that_o this_o be_v not_o against_o the_o doctrine_n and_o principle_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n if_o we_o allow_v the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o have_v declare_v its_o sense_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o government_n it_o can_v only_o be_v with_o respect_n to_o subject_n but_o i_o think_v the_o measure_n of_o our_o obedience_n be_v not_o to_o

different_a constitution_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o church_n can_v alter_v the_o fundamental_a law_n for_o the_o church_n only_o enforce_v the_o

limit_a whether_o in_o its_o exercise_n of_o power_n or_o in_o the_o right_n of_o sovereignty_n how_o far_o the_o limitation_n give_v a_o right_a of_o resistance_n in_o case_n of_o the_o breach_n of_o
