A46942 An argument proving, that the abrogation of King James by the people of England from the regal throne, and the promotion of the Prince of Orange, one of the royal family, to throne of the kingdom in his stead, was according to the constitution of the English government, and prescribed by it in opposition to all the false and treacherous hypotheses, of usurpation, conquest, desertion, and of taking the powers that are upon content / by Samuel Johnson.

the_o english_a of_o god_n providence_n be_v as_o god_n will_v have_v it_o now_o when_o this_o be_v apply_v to_o usurpation_n which_o be_v robbery_n and_o wrong_n in_o the_o high_a degree_n and_o to_o

therefore_o as_o the_o atheist_n deny_v god_n so_o these_o man_n make_v he_o to_o deny_v himself_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v ever_o adore_v god_n providence_n whilst_o i_o live_v and_o do_v it_o with_o

conquest_n or_o any_o other_o wicked_a thing_n be_v by_o god_n providence_n i_o absolute_o deny_v but_o that_o they_o be_v by_o divine_a permission_n and_o may_v use_v the_o style_n of_o bishop_n

of_o christ_n and_o nothing_o else_o but_o they_o must_v slander_v providence_n too_o but_o the_o best_a of_o it_o be_v that_o these_o interpreter_n of_o providence_n who_o will_v fain_o have_v the_o
