before_o 24_o sep._n 1689_o obedience_n due_a to_o the_o present_a knig_n notwithstanding_o our_o oath_n to_o the_o former_a write_a by_o a_o divine_a of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n 1._o the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n be_v the_o expression_n of_o our_o natural_a duty_n to_o the_o king_n as_o the_o coronation_n oath_n be_v of_o the_o regal_a which_o in_o nature_n be_v antecedent_n to_o it_o it_o be_v especial_o signify_v in_o these_o word_n such_o he_o must_v be_v king_n before_o we_o can_v be_v bind_v to_o he_o as_o such_o i_o will_v bear_v faith_n and_o true_a allegiance_n to_o his_o majesty_n his_o heir_n and_o successor_n and_o he_o and_o they_o will_v defend_v against_o all_o attempt_n which_o shall_v be_v make_v against_o his_o or_o their_o person_n their_o crown_n and_o dignity_n 2._o if_o the_o king_n do_v manifest_o separate_v his_o person_n from_o and_o engage_v it_o against_o his_o crown_n and_o dignity_n so_o that_o we_o can_v defend_v they_o both_o i_o mean_v if_o his_o personal_a action_n contrary_a to_o law_n do_v direct_o and_o open_o tend_v to_o the_o prejudice_n and_o spoil_v of_o his_o crown_n and_o dignity_n by_o his_o voluntary_a subject_v they_o to_o a_o foreign_a power_n contrary_a to_o the_o plain_a and_o primary_n intention_n and_o letter_n of_o the_o oath_n subvert_v the_o legal_a constitution_n and_o enervate_v the_o very_a law_n by_o which_o his_o crown_n be_v support_v his_o prerogative_n be_v measure_v and_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o king_n as_o such_o have_v its_o very_a be_v as_o well_o as_o the_o safety_n of_o his_o people_n be_v maintain_v certain_o in_o such_o a_o case_n none_o can_v be_v bind_v by_o this_o or_o any_o other_o oath_n to_o defend_v the_o king_n person_n in_o attempt_n so_o contrary_a to_o the_o very_a reason_n and_o end_v of_o all_o government_n with_o the_o neglect_n of_o the_o other_o part_n of_o our_o duty_n which_o be_v to_o defend_v his_o crown_n and_o dignity_n 3._o the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n seem_v to_o direct_v we_o more_o clear_o in_o this_o difficulty_n the_o word_n be_v i_o shall_v bear_v faith_n and_o true_a allegiance_n to_o the_o king_n highness_n but_o how_o it_o follow_v and_o to_o my_o power_n shall_v assist_v and_o defend_v all_o jurisdiction_n privilege_n preeminence_n and_o authority_n grant_v or_o belong_v to_o the_o king_n or_o annex_v and_o unite_v to_o the_o imperial_a crown_n of_o this_o realm_n that_o be_v thus_o we_o be_v to_o bear_v faith_n and_o allegiance_n to_o the_o king._n 4._o for_o if_o we_o shall_v be_v bind_v to_o assist_v and_o defend_v his_o person_n when_o it_o be_v and_o as_o it_o be_v engage_v against_o his_o crown_n and_o dignity_n we_o seem_v bind_v toto_fw-la posse_fw-la &_o totis_fw-la viribus_fw-la so_o far_o defence_n be_v expound_v to_o assist_v and_o contribute_v to_o the_o ruin_n both_o of_o our_o king_n and_o country_n and_o perhaps_o to_o the_o cut_n of_o our_o own_o throat_n 5._o if_o any_o shall_v imagine_v that_o the_o oath_n will_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o consider_v the_o person_n and_o crown_n of_o the_o king_n thus_o divide_v but_o that_o it_o bind_v we_o to_o assist_v and_o defend_v they_o together_o it_o be_v true_a while_o they_o be_v keep_v together_o but_o if_o the_o king_n himself_o divide_v they_o and_o it_o be_v become_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o assist_v his_o person_n but_o we_o must_v betray_v his_o crown_n nor_o defend_v his_o crown_n without_o forbear_v to_o assist_v his_o person_n to_o say_v now_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o assist_v and_o defend_v both_o make_v a_o plain_a repugnancy_n in_o the_o oath_n and_o in_o our_o duty_n to_o do_v and_o not_o to_o do_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o consequent_o the_o obligation_n cease_v 6._o that_o we_o be_v bind_v by_o our_o allegiance_n to_o assist_v the_o person_n of_o the_o king_n to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o his_o crown_n and_o people_n seem_v not_o only_o to_o be_v against_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n the_o primary_n end_v of_o it_o be_v the_o safety_n of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o king_n but_o the_o secondary_a end_n of_o it_o but_o most_o agreeable_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o our_o

that_o though_o the_o word_n lawful_a be_v once_o in_o the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n it_o be_v only_o there_o where_o we_o swear_v faith_n and_o allegiance_n in_o general_n but_o as_o if_o it_o be_v
