and_o of_o queen_n mary_n in_o england_n you_o can_v deny_v but_o the_o great_a number_n be_v apostate_n then_o and_o therefore_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o number_n can_v secure_v you_o but_o that_o they_o may_v be_v so_o now_o but_o you_o say_v the_o author_n of_o the_o history_n have_v blacken_v those_o of_o the_o clergy_n who_o have_v take_v the_o oath_n and_o some_o of_o they_o by_o name_n with_o desert_v that_o principle_n which_o they_o have_v former_o publish_v to_o the_o world._n but_o sir_n it_o seems-to_a i_o he_o have_v blacken_v none_o of_o they_o unless_o they_o have_v blacken_v themselves_o he_o have_v only_o produce_v a_o cloud_n of_o witness_n for_o passive_a obedience_n whereof_o many_o have_v and_o some_o have_v not_o take_v the_o oath_n and_o if_o there_o be_v a_o repugnance_n between_o that_o doctrine_n and_o take_v of_o it_o as_o your_o vindication_n make_v man_n suspect_v than_o the_o blacken_n and_o apostasy_n about_o which_o you_o have_v make_v so_o much_o pother_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v impute_v to_o the_o history_n or_o its_o author_n but_o to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n the_o great_a endeavour_n the_o clergy_n and_o their_o friend_n use_v to_o prevent_v the_o impose_v of_o the_o oath_n the_o great_a joy_n they_o express_v at_o the_o alteration_n of_o the_o bill_n in_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n and_o the_o visible_a reluctance_n with_o which_o many_o good_a and_o learned_a man_n have_v since_o take_v it_o be_v sufficient_a proof_n that_o there_o be_v at_o least_o a_o great_a seem_a disagreement_n between_o the_o doctrine_n and_o the_o oath_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o they_o who_o have_v take_v the_o oath_n have_v desert_v the_o doctrine_n which_o as_o i_o hint_v before_o be_v your_o own_o rash_a invidious_a consequence_n but_o that_o they_o have_v either_o desert_v it_o or_o find_v a_o way_n of_o take_v the_o oath_n which_o they_o judge_v consistent_a with_o it_o and_o that_o this_o latter_a be_v the_o case_n of_o most_o that_o have_v take_v it_o i_o will_v now_o show_v first_o then_o some_o learned_a man_n who_o stand_v out_o very_o long_o at_o last_o take_v it_o because_o they_o be_v persuade_v that_o the_o government_n allow_v they_o to_o take_v it_o in_o such_o a_o limit_a and_o qualify_v sense_n as_o be_v not_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o doctrine_n or_o their_o former_a oath_n and_o these_o man_n be_v no_o deserter_n some_o of_o these_o again_o for_o the_o great_a ease_n of_o their_o conscience_n and_o prevent_a scandal_n as_o they_o think_v have_v take_v the_o oath_n with_o declaration_n which_o abundant_o secure_v they_o from_o all_o suspicion_n of_o leave_v their_o former_a principle_n but_o other_o who_o have_v take_v the_o oath_n in_o the_o high_a and_o most_o unlimited_a sense_n as_o i_o perceive_v you_o have_v do_v have_v general_o take_v it_o upon_o such_o principle_n as_o leave_v the_o doctrine_n of_o passive_a obedience_n and_o all_o its_o concomitant_a doctrine_n secure_v those_o principle_n be_v chief_o three_o possession_n abdication_n and_o conquest_n though_o the_o two_o last_o seem_v plain_o inconsistent_a to_o some_o man_n understanding_n for_o if_o the_o king_n as_o you_o assert_v be_v conquer_v than_o he_o have_v good_a reason_n to_o fly_v and_o by_o consequence_n do_v not_o abdicate_v his_o kingdom_n some_o i_o confess_v make_v a_o mix_a hypothesis_n of_o two_o or_o all_o these_o together_o but_o whatever_o these_o man_n hypothesis_n be_v simple_a or_o mix_v if_o they_o be_v true_a they_o will_v reconcile_v the_o take_n of_o the_o new_a oath_n with_o the_o old_a doctrine_n and_o so_o they_o be_v secure_a from_o the_o scandal_n of_o apostasy_n whihc_a your_o vindication_n more_o than_o the_o history_n have_v fix_v upon_o they_o there_o be_v other_o again_o who_o justify_v the_o take_n of_o the_o oath_n upon_o such_o principle_n as_o seem_v indeed_o to_o overthrow_v the_o doctrine_n of_o nonresistance_n and_o the_o author_n of_o the_o history_n i_o confess_v be_v very_o angry_a at_o they_o for_o embrace_v the_o doctrine_n of_o hobbs_n milton_n and_o parson_n and_o if_o he_o blacken_v any_o in_o his_o book_n with_o the_o imputation_n of_o apostasy_n it_o be_v only_o these_o few_o man_n they_o assert_v that_o power_n be_v original_o in_o the_o people_n that_o the_o foundation_n of_o all_o government_n be_v in_o compact_n that_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n be_v as_o conditional_a as_o that_o of_o poland_n that_o a_o king_n fall_v from_o the_o government_n when_o he_o endeavour_v to_o subvert_v the_o constitution_n of_o it_o and_o these_o be_v the_o sanguine_a casuist_n which_o bold_o cut_v the_o knot_n which_o other_o of_o you_o find_v so_o difficult_a to_o unloose_v it_o seem_v they_o find_v enough_o in_o the_o monastic_a historian_n to_o satisfy_v their_o conscience_n and_o to_o absolve_v they_o from_o the_o law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n for_o they_o make_v king_n john_n reign_n the_o standard_n of_o our_o government_n and_o that_o which_o have_v always_o be_v account_v the_o popery_n of_o the_o kingdom_n the_o very_a

from_o that_o doctrine_n which_o some_o of_o they_o with_o a_o witness_n have_v preach_v and_o publish_v to_o the_o world._n conquest_n of_o the_o king_n without_o a_o conquest_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v the_o bottom_n upon_o which_o you_o have_v undertake_v to_o reconcile_v that_o doctrine_n with_o take_v the_o oath_n this_o be_v a_o nice_a subject_n for_o i_o to_o discuss_v but_o however_o i_o hope_v i_o may_v ask_v you_o two_o or_o three_o question_n upon_o it_o without_o danger_n or_o offence_n i._o whether_o in_o all_o the_o casuistical_a writer_n about_o conquest_n you_o have_v ever_o read_v that_o such_o a_o revolution_n as_o we_o be_v bring_v as_o a_o instance_n of_o conquest_n it_o be_v nothing_o like_o the_o usual_a example_n of_o alexander_n conquest_n over_o the_o persian_n the_o conquest_n of_o the_o israelite_n over_o the_o canaanite_n and_o that_o of_o the_o roman_n over_o their_o province_n ii_o whether_o they_o allow_v a_o king_n to_o be_v conquer_v when_o his_o kingdom_n be_v not_o conquer_v and_o if_o they_o do_v whether_o they_o allow_v a_o king_n so_o conquer_v can_v loose_v his_o right_n to_o the_o crown_n and_o the_o allegiance_n of_o his_o people_n king_n john_n of_o france_n do_v not_o loose_v his_o right_n to_o the_o crown_n and_o his_o people_n allegiance_n when_o he_o be_v so_o conquer_v by_o the_o black_a prince_n and_o bring_v captive_a into_o england_n nor_o francis_n when_o he_o be_v conquer_v so_o by_o charles_n the_o five_o iii_o whether_o they_o allow_v subject_n voluntary_o to_o give_v away_o their_o allegiance_n when_o they_o be_v not_o conquer_v for_o what_o subject_n give_v up_o to_o a_o foreign_a prince_n without_o conquest_n be_v free_o give_v iv_o whether_o they_o determine_v a_o king_n to_o be_v conquer_v as_o long_o as_o he_o be_v in_o a_o condition_n to_o prosecute_v his_o right_n by_o war_n for_o conscience_n will_v be_v apt_a to_o think_v that_o he_o be_v not_o yet_o conquer_v enough_o who_o be_v in_o a_o condition_n to_o resist_v v._o whether_o allegiance_n can_v be_v due_a to_o a_o foreign_a prince_n by_o virtue_n of_o conquest_n who_o never_o pretend_v to_o be_v a_o conqueror_n but_o disclaim_v the_o right_n of_o conquest_n vi_o how_o far_o they_o extend_v the_o right_n of_o conquest_n and_o allow_v the_o conqueror_n to_o make_v use_n of_o it_o these_o and_o some_o other_o question_n which_o i_o can_v ask_v you_o must_v be_v clear_o discuss_v and_o state_v before_o you_o can_v pin_v the_o take_n of_o the_o new_a oath_n upon_o the_o high_a peg_n of_o nonresistance_n according_a to_o your_o hypothesis_n of_o conquest_n from_o the_o several_a account_n which_o i_o have_v here_o set_v down_o of_o man_n take_v the_o new_a oath_n and_o particular_o from_o the_o insufficiency_n of_o your_o own_o you_o may_v see_v it_o be_v not_o so_o easy_a a_o task_n as_o you_o will_v make_v it_o to_o reconcile_v the_o take_n of_o it_o with_o the_o old_a doctrine_n of_o the_o right_n of_o sovereign_a prince_n and_o the_o duty_n of_o nonresistance_n if_o it_o be_v so_o very_o easy_a those_o who_o take_v the_o oath_n can_v not_o take_v it_o in_o so_o many_o sense_n and_o upon_o so_o many_o different_a principle_n and_o since_o you_o be_v not_o satisfy_v with_o one_o another_o sense_n and_o principle_n you_o ought_v to_o have_v a_o great_a tenderness_n for_o those_o who_o can_v take_v
