in_o his_o first_o speech_n to_o his_o privy-council_n a_o hour_n after_o his_o brother_n death_n print_v by_o his_o own_o command_n in_o these_o word_n my_o lord_n before_o i_o enter_v on_o any_o other_o i_o think_v fit_a to_o say_v something_o to_o you_o since_o it_o have_v please_v almighty_a god_n to_o place_v i_o in_o this_o station_n and_o i_o be_o now_o to_o succeed_v to_o so_o good_a and_o gracious_a a_o king_n as_o well_o as_o so_o very_o kind_a a_o brother_n i_o think_v fit_a to_o declare_v to_o you_o that_o i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o follow_v his_o example_n and_o most_o especial_o in_o that_o of_o his_o great_a clemency_n and_o tenderness_n to_o his_o people_n i_o have_v be_v report_v to_o be_v a_o man_n for_o arbitrary_a power_n but_o that_o be_v not_o the_o only_a thing_n that_o have_v be_v say_v of_o i_o and_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o preserve_v this_o government_n both_o in_o church_n and_o state_n as_o it_o be_v now_o by_o law_n establish_v i_o know_v the_o principle_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v for_o monarchy_n and_o the_o member_n thereof_o have_v show_v themselves_o good_a and_o loyal_a subject_n therefore_o i_o shall_v always_o take_v care_n to_o defend_v and_o support_v it_o i_o know_v the_o law_n of_o england_n be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v the_o king_n as_o great_a a_o monarch_n as_o i_o can_v wish_v and_o as_o i_o shall_v never_o depart_v from_o the_o just_a right_n and_o prerogative_n of_o the_o crown_n so_o i_o shall_v never_o invade_v any_o man_n property_n he_o that_o can_v reconcile_v this_o speech_n with_o king_n james_n his_o after-acting_n be_v the_o fit_a person_n i_o know_v to_o explain_v the_o popish_a notion_n of_o our_o saviour_n body_n be_v in_o a_o thousand_o distinct_a place_n at_o once_o in_o these_o expression_n he_o take_v it_o very_o unkind_o to_o have_v be_v report_v a_o man_n for_o arbitrary_a power_n and_o promise_v a_o great_a many_o thing_n that_o be_v contradictory_n to_o it_o but_o how_o well_o he_o deserve_v the_o character_n all_o his_o conduct_n have_v make_v it_o appear_v with_o a_o witness_n we_o have_v one_o of_o the_o most_o remarkable_a instance_n of_o king_n james_n be_v against_o arbitrary_a power_n in_o this_o declaration_n of_o the_o 12_o of_o february_n 1686_o 1686_o 7_o for_o a_o toleration_n in_o scotland_n where_o we_o find_v these_o new_a coin_a word_n thrice_o make_v use_n of_o our_o absolute_a power_n with_o this_o addition_n which_o all_o our_o subject_n be_v to_o obey_v without_o reserve_n now_o absolute_a in_o its_o natural_a signification_n import_v the_o be_v without_o all_o tie_n and_o restraint_n then_o the_o true_a meaning_n of_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o inherent_a power_n in_o the_o king_n which_o can_v neither_o be_v restrain_v by_o law_n promise_n nor_o oath_n for_o nothing_o less_o than_o be_v free_a from_o all_o these_o render_v a_o power_n absolute_a though_o the_o term_n absolute_a be_v enough_o to_o stretch_v our_o allegiance_n yet_o that_o which_o come_v after_o be_v yet_o a_o step_n of_o a_o high_a nature_n though_o one_o can_v hardly_o imagine_v what_o can_v go_v beyond_o absolute_a power_n and_o it_o be_v in_o these_o word_n which_o all_o our_o subject_n be_v to_o obey_v without_o reserve_n this_o in_o indeed_o the_o carry_a obedience_n many_o degree_n beyond_o what_o the_o grand_a signior_n yet_o ever_o claim_v for_o the_o most_o despotic_a prince_n in_o the_o world_n before_o lewis_n le_fw-fr grand_n time_n think_v it_o enough_o to_o oblige_v their_o subject_n to_o submit_v to_o their_o power_n and_o to_o bear_v whatever_o they_o think_v fit_a to_o impose_v upon_o they_o but_o till_o the_o fatal_a day_n of_o the_o dragoon_n conversion_n it_o be_v never_o so_o much_o as_o pretend_v that_o subject_n be_v bind_v to_o obey_v their_o prince_n without_o reserve_n and_o to_o be_v of_o his_o religion_n because_o he_o will_v have_v it_o so_o the_o only_a convince_a argument_n use_v by_o these_o boot_v apostle_n of_o late_a so_o without_o doubt_n this_o qualification_n of_o the_o duty_n of_o subject_n be_v industrious_o put_v in_o here_o by_o king_n james_n his_o jesuitick_a counsel_n to_o prepare_v the_o protestant_n of_o scotland_n for_o a_o terrible_a le_fw-fr roy_fw-fr le_fw-fr vent_n since_o the_o poor_a pretension_n of_o the_o conscience_n honour_n religion_n and_o reason_n will_v have_v be_v reckon_v as_o reserve_v upon_o their_o obedience_n which_o be_v all_o by_o the_o expression_n shut_v out_o before_o i_o leave_v this_o paramount_n instance_n of_o king_n james_n assume_v to_o himself_o a_o arbitrary_a power_n beyond_o what_o the_o great_a turk_n claim_v and_o contrary_a to_o his_o own_o reiterated_a promise_n i_o must_v take_v notice_n of_o another_o very_a comprehensive_a expression_n in_o that_o same_o declaration_n for_o a_o toleration_n in_o scotland_n and_o it_o be_v this_o this_o we_o think_v fit_a to_o declare_v that_o we_o will_v not_o suffer_v violence_n to_o be_v offer_v to_o any_o man_n conscience_n nor_o will_v we_o use_v force_n or_o invincible_a necessity_n upon_o any_o man_n on_o the_o account_n of_o his_o persuasion_n nor_o the_o protestant_a religion_n religion_n when_o i_o first_o read_v these_o word_n i_o easy_o perceive_v what_o caution_n be_v use_v in_o the_o choice_n of_o they_o for_o it_o be_v clear_a the_o general_a word_n of_o violence_n and_o force_n be_v to_o be_v explain_v and_o determine_v by_o these_o last_o of_o invincible_a necessity_n so_o that_o king_n james_n very_o wise_o promise_v only_o to_o lay_v no_o invincible_a necessity_n on_o his_o subject_n but_o for_o all_o necessity_n that_o be_v not_o invincible_a they_o may_v expect_v to_o have_v feel_v a_o large_a share_n of_o they_o for_o disgrace_n want_v of_o employment_n fining_n imprisonment_n and_o even_o death_n itself_o be_v all_o vincible_a thing_n to_o a_o man_n of_o a_o firmness_n of_o mind_n yea_o the_o violence_n of_o torture_n the_o fury_n of_o dragoon_n and_o the_o precedent_n use_v of_o late_a in_o france_n may_v have_v be_v fair_o include_v within_o this_o promise_n since_o a_o great_a and_o sublime_a soul_n fortify_v with_o a_o extraordinary_a measure_n of_o grace_n may_v be_v able_a to_o support_v under_o they_o now_o since_o we_o have_v have_v so_o many_o experience_n of_o king_n james_n faithfulness_n to_o his_o promise_n before_o he_o abandon_v the_o government_n i_o pray_v what_o argument_n have_v he_o of_o late_o give_v we_o that_o he_o will_v be_v
