be_v no_o difference_n in_o the_o obligation_n of_o a_o explicit_a or_o implicit_a pact_n and_o upon_o one_o of_o these_o two_o be_v ground_v all_o the_o right_n betwixt_o subject_n and_o governor_n and_o can_v be_v understand_v otherwise_o for_o aught_o ever_o i_o can_v see_v 11._o whether_o the_o late_a king_n james_n dispossess_v himself_o of_o his_o kingdom_n or_o be_v dispossess_v by_o

therefore_o king_n james_n have_v no_o right_a at_o all_o unless_o what_o be_v pactitious_a but_o no_o man_n have_v any_o right_n by_o pact_n but_o what_o be_v agree_v to_o by_o the_o party_n

but_o it_o be_v never_o agree_v explicit_o or_o implicit_o betwixt_o king_n james_n and_o the_o people_n of_o england_n that_o the_o government_n shall_v be_v administer_v by_o popish_a officer_n

that_o the_o people_n the_o other_o party_n have_v not_o consent_v to_o and_o therefore_o as_o i_o say_v there_o be_v then_o no_o government_n agree_v to_o betwixt_o they_o and_o because_o no_o
