that_o ever_o sway_v the_o sceptre_n then_o such_o a_o oath_n or_o promise_v or_o declaration_n can_v not_o intend_v to_o dedestroy_v self-preservation_n liberty_n and_o property_n 6._o the_o dr._n

9_o i_o leave_v the_o teacher_n of_o passive_a obedience_n and_o nonresistance_n to_o answer_v his_o argument_n p._n 36._o or_o else_o i_o hope_v they_o will_v take_v the_o oath_n i_o have_v speak_v my_o thought_n of_o this_o matter_n as_o for_o bishop_n overal_o convocation-book_n i_o do_v not_o love_v many_o word_n i_o have_v speak_v my_o mind_n 10._o this_o seem_v very_o hard_a that_o when_o god_n have_v actual_o deliver_v we_o we_o must_v refuse_v our_o deliverance_n p._n 38._o and_o i_o add_v it_o seem_v very_o hard_o that_o the_o clergy_n who_o receive_v most_o benefit_n by_o this_o deliverance_n if_o in_o heart_n they_o love_v the_o protestant_a religion_n shall_v not_o honour_v the_o deliverer_n 11._o the_o dr._n agree_v to_o what_o bishop_n sanderson_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o end_n of_o civil_a government_n and_o of_o that_o obedience_n which_o be_v due_a to_o it_o be_v the_o safety_n and_o tranquillity_n of_o humane_a society_n and_o therefore_o whatever_o be_v necessary_a and_o useful_a to_o this_o end_n become_v our_o duty_n for_o the_o end_n prescribe_v the_o mean_n hence_o i_o infer_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o defensive_a arm_n in_o some_o case_n because_o humane_a society_n under_o a_o tyrannical_a prince_n who_o rule_v arbitrary_o can_v be_v safe_a i_o beseech_v the_o dr._n serious_o to_o consider_v this_o and_o examine_v thorough_o whether_o it_o do_v not_o necessary_o follow_v and_o before_o i_o end_v this_o section_n i_o must_v desire_v the_o dr._n to_o reconcile_v some_o of_o his_o assertion_n he_o say_v p._n 4._o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v be_v very_o careful_a to_o instruct_v her_o child_n in_o their_o duty_n to_o prince_n to_o obey_v their_o law_n and_o submit_v to_o their_o power_n and_o not_o to_o resist_v though_o very_o injurious_o oppress_v and_o those_o who_o renounce_v these_o principle_n renounce_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n but_o she_o have_v withal_o teach_v that_o all_o sovereign_a prince_n receive_v their_o power_n and_o authority_n from_o god_n and_o therefore_o every_o prince_n who_o be_v settle_v in_o the_o throne_n be_v to_o be_v obey_v and_o reverence_v as_o god_n minister_n and_o not_o to_o be_v resist_v etc._n etc._n and_o here_o i_o observe_v that_o the_o dr._n charge_v the_o nonswearing_a bishop_n as_o well_o as_o those_o who_o join_v with_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n as_o reject_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n well_o let_v the_o dr._n and_o his_o party_n be_v the_o only_a true_a church_n of_o england-man_n if_o he_o can_v disprove_v what_o i_o have_v now_o and_o elsewhere_o say_v he_o grant_v that_o whosoever_o be_v settle_v in_o the_o throne_n have_v god_n authority_n and_o must_v not_o be_v resist_v but_o p._n 25_o 26._o in_o answer_v a_o objection_n that_o this_o make_v the_o prince_n lose_v his_o right_n by_o be_v notorious_o injure_v etc._n etc._n he_o tell_v we_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n remove_v king_n and_o set_v up_o king_n but_o alter_v no_o legal_a right_n nor_o forbid_v those_o who_o be_v dispossess_v of_o they_o to_o recover_v their_o right_a when_o they_o can_v etc._n etc._n and_o do_v not_o divest_v the_o dispossess_v prince_n of_o his_o legal_a right_n and_o claim_n nor_o forbid_v he_o to_o endeavour_v to_o recover_v his_o throne_n nor_o forbid_v those_o who_o be_v under_o no_o

which_o concern_v the_o duty_n of_o subject_n and_o the_o public_a good_n and_o as_o for_o the_o instance_n in_o scripture_n out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o the_o king_n and_o chronicle_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o there_o be_v a_o covenant_n between_o the_o king_n and_o people_n and_o after_o the_o depose_v of_o athaliah_n all_o the_o congregation_n make_v a_o covenant_n with_o the_o king_n in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n 2_o chron_n 23.3_o and_o what_o do_v a_o covenant_n signify_v if_o it_o may_v not_o be_v defend_v and_o justify_v if_o such_o a_o dead_a dog_n as_o i_o be_o be_v worthy_a to_o admonish_v a_o english_a monarch_n i_o will_v advise_v he_o to_o make_v law_n the_o rule_n of_o his_o reign_n and_o show_v his_o prerogative_n in_o act_n of_o bounty_n mercy_n and_o mitigation_n of_o the_o rigour_n of_o some_o severe_a law_n and_o i_o will_v not_o tell_v he_o that_o it_o be_v rebellion_n for_o a_o innocent_a subject_a to_o defend_v himself_o and_o yet_o i_o imagine_v that_o i_o be_o as_o great_a a_o friend_n to_o monarchy_n and_o to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o the_o great_a passive-obedience-doctor_n be_v 4._o we_o have_v the_o end_n of_o government_n for_o the_o
