divine_a and_o if_o the_o nicety_n of_o law_n make_v the_o case_n doubtful_a yet_o still_o the_o divine_a be_v to_o direct_v the_o doubt_n or_o scrupulous_a conscience_n certain_o our_o ancestor_n think_v divine_n might_n judge_v not_o only_o whether_o a_o law_n be_v obey_v or_o no_o but_o even_o of_o the_o matter_n itself_o before_o the_o enact_v of_o the_o law_n whether_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o god_n word_n and_o this_o i_o make_v no_o question_n be_v one_o reason_n why_o our_o bishop_n sit_v in_o parliament_n now_o it_o be_v much_o more_o easy_a to_o judge_n what_o the_o law_n oblige_v to_o than_o to_o know_v whether_o that_o obligation_n be_v valid_a that_o be_v allowable_a by_o scripture_n and_o reason_n though_o this_o indeed_o be_v essential_a to_o every_o law_n

a_o hank_n upon_o they_o and_o to_o scare_v we_o to_o a_o humble_a submission_n at_o the_o same_o time_n he_o threaten_v he_o have_v more_o to_o say_v and_o if_o we_o take_v no_o care_n to_o oblige_v he_o all_o shall_v out_o so_o it_o seem_v we_o must_v buy_v this_o shrewd_a man_n off_o or_o we_o be_v utter_o undo_v well!_o but_o perhaps_o there_o may_v be_v no_o such_o great_a danger_n yet_o if_o the_o presbyterian_o do_v hold_v king-killing_a doctrine_n they_o learn_v it_o from_o the_o church_n of_o england-man_n pag._n 21._o and_o then_o after_o a_o tedious_a impertinence_n between_o the_o two_o dialogist_n he_o add_v why_o then_o i_o say_v you_o do_v not_o read_v in_o any_o story_n since_o the_o growth_n of_o christianity_n that_o ever_o any_o crown_a head_n be_v ever_o bring_v to_o

this_o mere_o out_o of_o a_o wretched_a design_n to_o prove_v the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o bad_a as_o the_o fanatic_n but_o what_o be_v there_o alike_o in_o these_o two_o case_n the_o one_o be_v a_o dependant_a queen_n and_o under_o legal_a conviction_n of_o attempt_n upon_o the_o crown_n the_o other_o a_o absolute_a sovereign_a prince_n that_o neither_o have_v give_v the_o least_o reason_n of_o suspicion_n to_o his_o people_n of_o any_o design_n of_o invade_v their_o right_n nor_o ought_v they_o to_o have_v take_v arm_n against_o he_o if_o he_o have_v give_v it_o the_o one_o be_v put_v to_o death_n by_o foreigner_n in_o a_o foreign_a country_n at_o the_o command_n of_o a_o foreign_a prince_n the_o other_o in_o his_o own_o kingdom_n beside_o his_o own_o palace_n by_o his_o own_o

the_o fault_n if_o unjust_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o by_o she_o own_o subject_n nor_o do_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n allow_v it_o if_o it_o be_v unjust_a as_o the_o doctrine_n as_o well_o as_o practise_v of_o our_o fanatic_n do_v teach_v open_a rebellion_n let_v they_o show_v if_o they_o can_v any_o one_o tenet_n of_o our_o church_n which_o be_v seditious_a or_o any_o way_n

the_o late_a time_n though_o set_v over_o we_o for_o our_o sin_n and_o our_o punishment_n and_o most_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o we_o and_o the_o calvinist_n agree_v in_o this_o that_o etiam_fw-la

we_o may_v observe_v how_o apt_o this_o man_n use_v his_o little_a shred_n of_o latin_a for_o the_o plain_a drift_n of_o his_o argument_n be_v that_o those_o who_o refuse_v to_o obey_v oliver_n
