reflection_n on_o the_o history_n of_o passive_a obedience_n by_o samuel_n johnson_n in_o turn_v over_o the_o late_a history_n of_o passive_a obedience_n i_o quick_o find_v out_o the_o author_n to_o be_v a_o king_n james_n man_n and_o no_o king_n william_n man_n for_o so_o it_o be_v that_o by_o mean_n of_o some_o who_o pretend_v to_o be_v might_o churchof_a england_n man_n we_o have_v two_o king_n on_o foot_n and_o when_o a_o man_n in_o common_a conversation_n name_v the_o king_n he_o be_v ask_v to_o explain_v himself_o and_o to_o say_v which_o king_n he_o mean_v and_o when_o i_o have_v discover_v of_o what_o stamp_n the_o historian_n be_v i_o need_v no_o great_a sagacity_n to_o understand_v the_o design_n and_o drift_n of_o the_o history_n it_o be_v this_o plain_o to_o thrust_v out_o the_o present_a government_n by_o leave_v no_o room_n for_o it_o and_o by_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o late_a tyranny_n be_v sacred_a and_o irresistible_a it_o be_v to_o keep_v up_o that_o indefeisible_a title_n which_o no_o religion_n no_o law_n no_o fault_n nor_o forfeiture_n can_v alter_v or_o diminish_v it_o be_v to_o 100_o blacken_v all_o the_o glorious_a instrument_n of_o our_o deliverance_n who_o invite_v over_o and_o join_v the_o prince_n of_o orange_n with_o the_o multiply_a title_n of_o rebel_n and_o traitor_n and_o to_o leave_v they_o all_o in_o a_o state_n of_o damnation_n which_o they_o must_v get_v out_o of_o as_o well_o as_o they_o can_v it_o be_v in_o short_a to_o damn_v the_o whole_a nation_n both_o the_o defender_n of_o our_o country_n and_o the_o passive-man_n too_o the_o former_a for_o resist_v and_o the_o latter_a for_o not_o assist_v the_o late_a king_n the_o former_a as_o giant_n that_o fight_v against_o god_n and_o the_o latter_a as_o disloyal_a and_o perjure_a wretch_n in_o 129._o not_o fight_v for_o he_o so_o that_o it_o call_v they_o all_o to_o repentance_n and_o reparation_n and_o be_v in_o effect_n a_o great_a many_o sermon_n together_o upon_o one_o of_o their_o late_a text_n why_o be_v you_o the_o last_o in_o bring_v back_o the_o king_n he_o when_o he_o go_v away_o leave_v it_o under_o his_o hand_n that_o the_o nation_n be_v poison_v and_o therefore_o out_o again_o come_v this_o historian_n with_o the_o old_a orvetan_a have_v a_o great_a number_n of_o probatum_n annex_v to_o it_o to_o try_v if_o it_o will_v prove_v a_o better_a restorative_n than_o it_o do_v a_o preservative_n against_o that_o venomous_a doctrine_n of_o a_o nation_n be_v defend_v their_o right_n and_o liberty_n and_o rescue_v themselves_o from_o slavery_n but_o the_o truth_n and_o goodness_n of_o any_o doctrine_n be_v not_o to_o be_v try_v by_o the_o tell_n of_o nose_n and_o therefore_o this_o history_n signify_v as_o little_a to_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o cause_n as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v the_o history_n of_o tom_n thumb_n and_o somewhat_o less_o if_o it_o be_v a_o false_a history_n as_o i_o shall_v in_o few_o word_n plain_o show_v it_o to_o be_v for_o whereas_o the_o commendable_a diligence_n of_o this_o historian_n have_v make_v several_a chapter_n concern_v the_o public_a and_o establish_v doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n which_o have_v not_o one_o syllable_n to_o his_o purpose_n at_o the_o same_o time_n he_o have_v make_v no_o mention_n nor_o take_v any_o notice_n at_o all_o of_o three_o act_n of_o convocation_n which_o be_v likewise_o act_n of_o parliament_n in_o queen_n elizabeth_n reign_n which_o be_v the_o standard_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n doctrine_n in_o this_o case_n and_o these_o be_v back_v with_o three_o other_o contemporary_a act_n of_o parliament_n to_o the_o same_o purpose_n which_o be_v full_a in_o point_n to_o justify_v the_o late_a dutch_a expedition_n by_o celebrate_v the_o religion_n justice_n and_o merit_n of_o three_o several_a expedition_n in_o those_o day_n which_o be_v exact_o the_o same_o with_o this_o last_o i_o have_v print_v the_o very_a word_n of_o these_o six_o act_n of_o parliament_n four_o time_n over_o once_o in_o my_o answer_n to_o constantius_n and_o thrice_o in_o the_o opinion_n of_o resistance_n which_o be_v extant_a p._n 130_o 131._o of_o my_o collection_n and_o therefore_o the_o total_a omission_n of_o they_o in_o this_o history_n and_o the_o pass_v they_o over_o in_o so_o profound_a a_o silence_n be_v not_o reconcileable_a with_o the_o faithfulness_n require_v in_o a_o historian_n if_o he_o pass_v they_o over_o as_o be_v no_o fit_a material_n for_o his_o passive_a history_n but_o contrary_a to_o it_o than_o i_o wonder_v very_o much_o that_o he_o shall_v advance_v a_o doctrine_n under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n which_o he_o know_v to_o be_v opposite_a to_o six_o act_n of_o parliament_n and_o to_o three_o solemn_a and_o bind_a declaration_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o england_n when_o he_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o any_o one_o authority_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n to_o stand_v in_o competition_n with_o any_o one_o of_o those_o declaration_n i_o be_o perfect_o weary_a with_o transcribe_v those_o passage_n as_o they_o there_o stand_v and_o as_o they_o be_v the_o high_a acknowledgement_n and_o applause_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n for_o her_o assist_v the_o scot_n dutch_a and_o french_a in_o their_o several_a defence_n of_o themselves_o against_o tyranny_n and_o oppression_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v here_o only_o apply_v some_o of_o those_o authentic_a and_o act-of-parliament_n expression_n to_o the_o present_a case_n if_o those_o brave_a man_n be_v now_o alive_a they_o will_v certain_o be_v very_o forward_o in_o pay_v their_o own_o deliverance-mony_n when_o they_o pay_v six_o shilling_n in_o the_o pound_n deliverance-mony_n for_o their_o neighbour_n and_o will_v have_v be_v very_o thankful_a to_o his_o present_a majesty_n for_o use_v godly_a and_o prudent_a mean_n namely_o a_o fleet_n and_o army_n to_o abate_v the_o hostility_n and_o persecution_n practise_v against_o they_o and_o for_o his_o princely_a and_o upright_a preservation_n of_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o realm_n and_o nation_n of_o england_n scotland_n and_o ireland_n from_o imminent_a captivity_n and_o desolation_n they_o will_v have_v grateful_o acknowledge_v the_o great_a and_o perpetual_a honour_n which_o it_o have_v please_v god_n to_o give_v his_o majesty_n in_o make_v he_o the_o principal_a support_n of_o all_o just_a and_o religious_a cause_n against_o usurper_n they_o will_v have_v say_v the_o state_n of_o holland_n be_v now_o become_v in_o their_o turn_n since_o your_o majesty_n happy_a day_n both_o a_o port_n and_o haven_n of_o refuge_n for_o distress_a state_n and_o kingdom_n and_o a_o rock_n and_o bulwark_n of_o opposition_n against_o the_o tyranny_n and_o ambitious_a attempt_n of_o mighty_a and_o usurp_a potentate_n now_o let_v we_o search_v this_o historian_n whole_a pack_n and_o see_v what_o he_o have_v get_v to_o oppose_v to_o this_o public_a doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n wherein_o she_o allow_v and_o abet_v the_o subject_n of_o three_o several_a sovereign_a prince_n in_o fight_v against_o they_o and_o be_v successful_a in_o help_v two_o of_o those_o country_n to_o throw_v off_o the_o yoke_n of_o their_o oppressor_n marry_o queen_n of_o scot_n and_o philip_n the_o second_o of_o spain_n and_o upon_o examination_n i_o can_v find_v in_o this_o whole_a history_n one_o public_a act_n contrary_a to_o this_o establish_v doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n there_o be_v not_o a_o word_n against_o this_o in_o the_o 39_o article_n nor_o in_o the_o homily_n for_o as_o i_o have_v heretofore_o show_v the_o upshot_n of_o the_o homily_n of_o obedience_n be_v obey_v common_a authority_n and_o rebellion_n be_v there_o define_v to_o be_v resist_v or_o withstand_v common_a authority_n and_o therefore_o i_o hearty_o subscribe_v the_o homily_n over_o again_o for_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o authority_n and_o no_o authority_n law_n and_o no_o law_n though_o it_o be_v think_v a_o little_a and_o a_o puzzle_v distinction_n by_o this_o historian_n yet_o i_o be_o sure_a be_v both_o a_o very_a clear_a one_o and_o go_v a_o great_a way_n with_o i_o there_o be_v not_o a_o word_n against_o this_o in_o the_o liturgy_n and_o therefore_o this_o historian_n catch_v at_o a_o straw_n when_o he_o say_v that_o god_n be_v style_v in_o it_o the_o only_a ruler_n of_o prince_n for_o may_v i_o defend_v myself_o against_o no_o man_n violence_n till_o i_o can_v prove_v that_o i_o be_o his_o ruler_n there_o be_v not_o a_o word_n against_o this_o in_o the_o injunction_n and_o canon_n till_o you_o come_v to_o the_o canon_n of_o forty_o which_o instead_o of_o be_v establish_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n do_v stand_v condemn_v and_o reprobate_v by_o two_o parliament_n no_o nor_o in_o the_o bishop_n order_n neither_o as_o i_o can_v see_v though_o i_o have_v value_v they_o the_o
