some_o that_o will_v rather_o see_v the_o violent_a destruction_n of_o their_o own_o religion_n than_o disturb_v the_o quiet_a settlement_n of_o popery_n as_o if_o it_o be_v more_o religious_a to_o

he_o give_v to_o their_o redemption_n it_o will_v not_o be_v improper_a therefore_o to_o consider_v the_o case_n of_o those_o two_o prince_n edward_n and_o richard_n the_o second_o who_o be_v depose_v

they_o have_v place_v in_o he_o and_o act_v contrary_a to_o his_o executive_a office_n and_o they_o express_o declare_v to_o king_n edward_n the_o second_o that_o if_o he_o do_v not_o free_o consent_v

this_o elect_v of_o king_n be_v so_o unusual_a in_o england_n since_o seldom_o any_o government_n have_v have_v more_o break_a succession_n but_o before_o i_o proceed_v to_o show_v how_o this_o

be_v to_o be_v submit_v because_o such_o or_o such_o be_v of_o this_o or_o that_o opinion_n yet_o since_o i_o have_v set_v down_o the_o doctrine_n assert_v in_o our_o day_n when_o the_o hazard_n of_o

which_o seem_v ground_v the_o opinion_n that_o a_o king_n be_v not_o a_o king_n where_o bracton_n his_o will_n govern_v and_o not_o the_o law_n for_o if_o a_o king_n power_n be_v only_o fortescue_n royal_a than_o he_o may_v change_v the_o law_n and_o charge_v the_o subject_a with_o callage_n and_o other_o burden_n without_o their_o consent_n but_o the_o king_n have_v a_o superior_a bracton_n

which_o unless_o he_o perform_v he_o lose_v the_o very_a name_n of_o a_o king_n from_o that_o power_n which_o flow_v from_o fortescue_n the_o people_n it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o he_o to_o lord_n it_o over_o they_o by_o any_o other_o power_n that_o be_v a_o political_a not_o a_o regal_a power_n let_v king_n therefore_o temper_v their_o bracton_n power_n by_o the_o law_n which_o be_v the_o bridle_n of_o power_n so_o that_o the_o right_a understanding_n of_o pac._n this_o law_n of_o resist_v or_o not_o resist_v in_o case_n of_o necessity_n seem_v to_o depend_v on_o the_o intention_n of_o
