●ta_fw-la de_fw-la oblige_v conscientiae_fw-la xvi_o p._n 176._o what_o i_o can_v gather_v from_o this_o case_n put_v by_o the_o great_a bishop_n be_v that_o if_o such_o obedience_n be_v lawful_a and_o very_o often_o necessary_a to_o one_o who_o be_v a_o meet_a usurper_n by_o unlawful_a violence_n the_o least_o he_o will_v have_v determine_v in_o our_o circumstance_n must_v have_v be_v that_o obedience_n may_v lawful_o be_v pay_v to_o our_o present_a king_n and_o queen_n who_o come_v to_o the_o throne_n either_o by_o its_o be_v leave_v empty_a by_o the_o last_o king_n or_o by_o a_o lawful_a and_o just_a conquest_n and_o what_o the_o bishop_n have_v afterword_n urge_v in_o the_o case_n of_o his_o violent_a usurper_n that_o notwithstanding_o the_o obedience_n to_o he_o the_o fealty_n due_a to_o the_o lawful_a prince_n must_v be_v preserve_v inviolate_a and_o nothing_o do_v in_o prejudice_n of_o his_o right_n can_v have_v no_o place_n here_o since_o the_o late_a king_n fall_v perfect_o from_o all_o sovereignty_n here_o by_o desert_v his_o government_n and_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n have_v a_o most_o just_a cause_n of_o war_n against_o he_o and_o make_v as_o plain_v a_o conquest_n over_o he_o neither_o of_o which_o can_v be_v bring_v within_o the_o bishop_n case_n and_o therefore_o if_o subject_n may_v to_o keep_v to_o the_o bishop_n reason_n upon_o the_o case_n for_o their_o own_o sake_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o their_o life_n and_o estate_n and_o for_o the_o protection_n they_o receive_v under_o those_o who_o have_v possession_n of_o the_o government_n and_o for_o the_o public_a sake_n for_o the_o trade_n and_o commerce_n of_o the_o nation_n upon_o which_o the_o public_a must_v subsist_v live_v quiet_o under_o and_o pay_v obedience_n to_o a_o usurp_a power_n every_o one_o of_o these_o reason_n be_v more_o forcible_a upon_o we_o to_o pay_v our_o obedience_n to_o their_o present_a majesty_n who_o have_v right_o of_o just_a conquest_n right_o of_o lawful_a succession_n and_o the_o consent_n and_o recognition_n of_o the_o nation_n in_o convention_n on_o their_o side_n and_o as_o reason_n have_v direct_v in_o such_o circumstance_n to_o transfer_v obedience_n to_o the_o conqueror_n under_o who_o we_o can_v live_v safe_a and_o in_o quietness_n so_o do_v the_o scripture_n itself_o the_o best_a rule_n we_o can_v desire_v in_o our_o case_n as_o the_o scripture_n command_v under_o the_o great_a penalty_n subjection_n to_o the_o supreme_a power_n so_o it_o do_v not_o put_v man_n upon_o the_o rack_n about_o the_o right_n of_o governor_n or_o upon_o examine_v who_o have_v or_o who_o have_v not_o the_o true_a right_n to_o a_o crown_n but_o direct_v obedience_n to_o the_o power_n in_o be_v to_o those_o who_o be_v in_o possession_n of_o the_o supreme_a power_n how_o small_a soever_o their_o claim_n to_o it_o may_v be_v this_o i_o can_v make_v evident_a my_o lord_n from_o the_o instance_n of_o some_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o of_o those_o to_o who_o our_o lord_n jesus_n himself_o and_o his_o aposty_n do_v so_o strict_o command_v obedience_n in_o the_o new._n upon_o the_o death_n of_o josiah_n king_n
