long_o preserve_v and_o prosper_v a_o appendix_n the_o objection_n from_o the_o word_n allegiance_n consider_v after_o i_o have_v put_v a_o end_n to_o my_o former_a discourse_n i_o hear_v of_o the_o follow_a objection_n object_n it_o be_v say_v that_o allegiance_n be_v the_o word_n in_o the_o new_a as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o old_a oath_n it_o seem_v it_o ought_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o the_o same_o latitude_n and_o sense_n in_o both_o then_o how_o can_v we_o safe_o swear_v allegiance_n to_o the_o present_a king_n and_o queen_n in_o the_o same_o sense_n in_o which_o we_o have_v swear_v allegiance_n to_o the_o former_a king_n while_o the_o former_a king_n be_v alive_a answ_n i_o hear_v this_o be_v the_o scruple_n of_o some_o ingenuous_a person_n for_o who_o sake_n i_o shall_v accommodate_v my_o answer_n to_o their_o own_o principle_n as_o near_o as_o i_o can_v first_o by_o show_v that_o those_o two_o oath_n though_o both_o be_v call_v oath_n of_o allegiance_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o of_o the_o same_o latitude_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o they_o second_o that_o though_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n they_o be_v admit_v to_o have_v the_o same_o sense_n and_o though_o in_o that_o sense_n in_o which_o we_o have_v swear_v allegiance_n to_o the_o former_a king_n we_o be_v require_v to_o swear_v allegiance_n to_o the_o present_a king_n and_o queen_n yet_o we_o safe_o and_o honest_o do_v it_o 1._o for_o the_o first_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o former_a oath_n though_o it_o be_v call_v the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n yet_o it_o have_v more_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o than_o can_v be_v import_v in_o the_o word_n allegiance_n it_o have_v two_o manifest_a part_n of_o a_o different_a nature_n the_o first_o acknowledge_v the_o king_n just_a title_n to_o the_o crown_n as_o rightful_a king_n and_o be_v find_v in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o assertory_n oath_n the_o other_o be_v as_o plain_o promissory_a i_o will_v bear_v faith_n and_o true_a allegiance_n etc._n etc._n now_o though_o with_o respect_n to_o this_o promissory_a part_n of_o the_o old_a oath_n we_o shall_v grant_v that_o by_o the_o new_a oath_n we_o be_v to_o swear_v in_o the_o same_o word_n and_o in_o the_o same_o sense_n yet_o it_o be_v more_o than_o evident_a that_o these_o word_n can_v be_v intend_v to_o assert_v any_o thing_n about_o the_o title_n of_o the_o crown_n and_o in_o all_o likelihood_n the_o assertory_n part_n of_o the_o former_a oath_n be_v leave_v out_o on_o purpose_n in_o the_o new_a to_o avoid_v matter_n of_o scruple_n or_o offence_n yet_o it_o be_v confess_v that_o argument_n suffer_v but_o little_a in_o its_o strength_n if_o both_o these_o oath_n agree_v or_o be_v the_o same_o in_o any_o substantial_a matter_n while_o man_n doubt_v that_o the_o former_a oath_n do_v oblige_v they_o to_o bear_v allegiance_n to_o king_n james_n in_o the_o same_o sense_n in_o which_o we_o be_v require_v to_o take_v the_o new_a one_o it_o behoove_v i_o therefore_o now_o to_o prove_v the_o second_o thing_n propose_v viz._n that_o though_o allegiance_n have_v the_o same_o sense_n and_o meaning_n in_o both_o and_o we_o have_v before_o swear_v it_o to_o king_n james_n in_o that_o sense_n yet_o we_o may_v safe_o and_o honest_o swear_v to_o bear_v faith_n and_o true_a allegiance_n to_o king_n william_n and_o queen_n mary_n object_n the_o objection_n in_o short_a be_v this_o if_o allegiance_n swear_v to_o king_n james_n be_v due_a to_o he_o by_o virtue_n of_o our_o oath_n it_o can_v be_v due_a to_o king_n william_n and_o queen_n mary_n in_o the_o same_o sense_n it_o be_v due_a to_o king_n james_n answ_n the_o answer_n be_v as_o short_a for_o if_o allegiance_n be_v due_a to_o king_n william_n and_o queen_n mary_n in_o the_o same_o sense_n that_o we_o swear_v to_o king_n james_n then_o it_o be_v not_o due_a to_o king_n james_n though_o we_o so_o swear_v for_o our_o former_a oath_n can_v oblige_v we_o to_o king_n james_n to_o the_o injury_n of_o king_n william_n and_o queen_n mary_n it_o will_v then_o be_v a_o bond_n of_o iniquity_n we_o see_v the_o objection_n and_o answer_n stand_v both_o upon_o the_o same_o ground_n namely_o that_o obedience_n or_o allegiance_n can_v be_v due_a to_o two_o king_n in_o the_o same_o sense_n at_o once_o therefore_o if_o i_o prove_v that_o allegiance_n be_v due_a to_o the_o present_a king_n and_o queen_n it_o must_v be_v yield_v that_o our_o former_a oath_n to_o king_n james_n can_v oblige_v we_o to_o pay_v such_o allegiance_n to_o he_o my_o argument_n be_v this_o allegiance_n be_v due_a to_o the_o supreme_a power_n in_o be_v therefore_o it_o can_v be_v
