lawful_a but_o this_o i_o doubt_v not_o to_o affirm_v that_o the_o presbyterian_n who_o now_o so_o much_o condemn_v depose_v be_v the_o man_n themselves_o that_o depose_v the_o king_n and_o can_v with_o all_o their_o shift_a and_o relapse_v wash_v off_o the_o guiltiness_n from_o their_o own_o hand_n for_o they_o themselves_o by_o these_o their_o late_a do_n have_v make_v it_o guiltiness_n and_o turn_v their_o own_o warrantable_a action_n into_o rebellion_n there_o be_v nothing_o that_o so_o actual_o make_v a_o king_n of_o england_n as_o righful_a possession_n and_o supremacy_n in_o all_o cause_n both_o civil_a and_o ecclesiastical_a and_o nothing_o that_o so_o actual_o make_v a_o subject_a of_o england_n as_o those_o two_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n and_o supremacy_n observe_v without_o equivocate_a or_o any_o mental_a reservation_n out_o of_o doubt_n then_o when_o the_o king_n shall_v command_v thing_n already_o constitute_v in_o church_n or_o state_n obedience_n be_v the_o true_a essence_n of_o a_o subject_n either_o to_o do_v if_o it_o be_v lawful_a or_o if_o he_o hold_v the_o thing_n unlawful_a to_o submit_v to_o that_o penalty_n which_o the_o law_n impose_v so_o long_o as_o he_o intend_v to_o remain_v a_o subject_n therefore_o when_o the_o people_n or_o any_o part_n of_o they_o shall_v rise_v against_o the_o king_n and_o his_o authority_n execute_v the_o law_n in_o any_o thing_n establish_a civil_a or_o ecclesiastical_a i_o do_v nor_o say_v it_o be_v rebellion_n if_o the_o thing_n command_v though_o establish_a be_v unlawful_a and_o that_o they_o seek_v first_o all_o due_a mean_n of_o redress_n and_o no_o man_n be_v further_a bind_v to_o law_n but_o i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o absolute_a renounce_v both_o of_o supremacy_n and_o allegiance_n which_o in_o one_o word_n be_v a_o actual_a and_o total_a depose_n of_o the_o king_n and_o the_o set_n up_o of_o another_o supreme_a authority_n over_o they_o and_o whether_o the_o presbyterian_n have_v not_o do_v all_o this_o and_o much_o more_o they_o will_v not_o put_v i_o i_o suppose_v to_o reckon_v up_o a_o seven_o year_n story_n fresh_a in_o the_o memory_n of_o all_o man_n have_v they_o not_o utter_o break_v the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n reject_v the_o king_n command_n and_o authority_n send_v they_o from_o any_o part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n whether_o in_o thing_n lawful_a or_o unlawful_a have_v they_o not_o abjure_v the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n by_o set_v up_o the_o parliament_n without_o the_o king_n supreme_a to_o all_o their_o obedience_n and_o though_o their_o vow_n and_o covenant_n bind_v they_o in_o general_a to_o the_o parliament_n yet_o sometime_o adhere_v to_o the_o lesser_a part_n of_o lord_n and_o commons_o that_o remain_v faithful_a as_o they_o term_v it_o and_o even_o of_o they_o one_o while_o to_o the_o commons_o without_o the_o lord_n another_o while_n to_o the_o lord_n without_o the_o commons_o have_v they_o not_o still_o declare_v their_o meaning_n whatever_o their_o oath_n be_v to_o hold_v they_o only_o for_o supreme_a who_o they_o find_v at_o any_o time_n most_o yield_v to_o what_o they_o petition_v both_o these_o oath_n which_o be_v the_o straight_a bond_n of_o a_o english_a subject_n in_o reference_n to_o the_o king_n be_v thus_o break_v and_o make_v void_a it_o follow_v undeniable_o that_o the_o king_n from_o that_o time_n be_v by_o they_o in_o fact_n absolute_o depose_v and_o they_o no_o long_o in_o reality_n to_o be_v think_v his_o subject_n notwithstanding_o their_o fine_a clause_n in_o the_o covenant_n to_o preserve_v his_o person_n crown_n and_o dignity_n set_v there_o by_o some_o dodge_n casuist_n with_o more_o craft_n than_o sincerity_n to_o mitigate_v the_o matter_n in_o case_n of_o ill_a success_n and_o not_o take_v i_o suppose_v by_o any_o honest_a man_n but_o as_o a_o condition_n subordinate_a to_o every_o the_o least_o particle_n that_o may_v more_o concern_v religion_n liberty_n or_o the_o public_a peace_n to_o prove_v it_o yet_o more_o plain_o that_o they_o be_v the_o man_n who_o have_v depose_v the_o king_n i_o thus_o argue_v we_o know_v that_o king_n and_o subject_a be_v relative_n and_o relative_n have_v no_o long_o be_v then_o in_o the_o relation_n the_o relation_n between_o king_n and_o subject_a can_v be_v no_o other_o than_o regal_a authority_n and_o subjection_n hence_o i_o infer_v past_a their_o defend_n that_o if_o the_o subject_n who_o be_v one_o relative_a take_v away_o the_o relation_n of_o force_n he_o take_v away_o also_o the_o other_o relative_a but_o the_o presbyterian_n who_o be_v one_o relative_a that_o be_v to_o say_v subject_n have_v for_o this_o seu'n_o year_n take_v away_o the_o relation_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o king_n authority_n and_o their_o subjection_n to_o it_o therefore_o the_o presbyterian_n for_o these_o seu'n_o year_n have_v remove_v and_o extinguish_v the_o other_o relative_a that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o king_n or_o to_o speak_v more_o in_o brief_a have_v depose_v he_o not_o only_o by_o deprive_v he_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o authority_n but_o by_o confer_v it_o upon_o other_o if_o then_o their_o oath_n of_o subjection_n break_v new_a supremacy_n obey_v new_a oath_n and_o covenant_n take_v notwithstanding_o frivolous_a evasion_n have_v in_o plain_a term_n unking_v the_o king_n much_o more_o than_o have_v their_o seu'n_o year_n war_n not_o depose_v he_o only_o but_o outlawd_v he_o and_o defy_v he_o as_o a_o alien_n a_o rebel_n to_o law_n and_o enemy_n to_o the_o state_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v clear_a to_o any_o man_n not_o averse_a from_o reason_n that_o hostility_n and_o subjection_n be_v two_o direct_a and_o positive_a contrary_n and_o can_v no_o more_o in_o one_o subject_n stand_v together_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o same_o king_n than_o one_o person_n at_o the_o same_o time_n can_v be_v in_o two_o remote_a place_n against_o who_o therefore_o the_o subject_n be_v in_o act_n of_o hostility_n we_o may_v be_v confident_a that_o to_o he_o he_o be_v in_o no_o subjection_n and_o in_o who_o hostility_n take_v place_n of_o subjection_n for_o they_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n consist_v together_o to_o he_o the_o king_n can_v be_v not_o only_o no_o king_n but_o a_o enemy_n so_o that_o from_o hence_o we_o shall_v not_o need_v dispute_n whether_o they_o have_v depose_v he_o or_o what_o they_o have_v default_v towards_o he_o as_o no_o king_n but_o show_v manifest_o how_o much_o they_o have_v do_v towards_o the_o kill_v he_o have_v they_o not_o levy_v all_o these_o war_n against_o he_o whether_o offensive_a or_o defensive_a for_o defence_n in_o war_n equal_o offend_v and_o most_o prudent_o before_o hand_n and_o give_v commission_n to_o slay_v where_o they_o know_v his_o person_n can_v not_o be_v exempt_a from_o danger_n and_o if_o chance_n or_o flight_n have_v not_o save_v he_o how_o often_o have_v they_o kill_v he_o direct_v their_o artillery_n without_o blame_n or_o prohibition_n to_o the_o very_a place_n where_o they_o see_v he_o stand_v have_v they_o not_o convert_v his_o revenue_n to_o other_o use_n and_o detain_v from_o he_o all_o mean_n of_o livelihood_n so_o that_o for_o they_o long_o since_o he_o may_v have_v perish_v or_o have_v starve_v have_v they_o not_o hunt_v and_o pursue_v he_o round_o about_o the_o kingdom_n with_o sword_n and_o fire_n have_v they_o not_o former_o deny_v to_o treat_v with_o he_o and_o their_o now_o recant_v minister_n preach_v against_o he_o as_o a_o reprobate_a incurable_a a_o enemy_n to_o god_n and_o his_o church_n mark_v for_o destruction_n and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v treat_v with_o have_v they_o not_o besiege_v he_o and_o to_o their_o power_n forbid_v he_o water_n and_o fire_n save_o what_o they_o shoot_v against_o he_o to_o the_o hazard_n of_o his_o life_n yet_o while_o they_o thus_o assault_v and_o endanger_v it_o with_o hostile_a deed_n they_o swear_v in_o word_n to_o defend_v it_o with_o his_o crown_n and_o dignity_n not_o in_o order_n as_o it_o seem_v now_o to_o a_o firm_a and_o last_a peace_n or_o to_o his_o repentance_n after_o all_o this_o blood_n but_o simple_o without_o
