A45693	The doctrine of passive obedience and jure divino disproved and obedience to the present government, proved from Scripture, law, and reason. Written for the satisfaction of all of those who are dissatisfied at the present government: by a lay-man of the Church of England.	Harrison, T.

and_o obedience_n appear_v to_o be_v correlative_a so_o the_o law_n have_v appoint_v reciprocal_a oath_n to_o be_v take_v for_o the_o better_a enforce_v the_o performance_n of_o these_o respective_a
