have_v forget_v that_o threaten_n of_o our_o saviour_n that_o he_o will_v deny_v they_o before_o his_o father_n and_o his_o angel_n who_o deny_v he_o before_o man_n otherwise_o you_o dare_v never_o

now_o gentleman_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o cause_n for_o which_o sir_n john_n suffer_v be_v his_o accept_n of_o a_o colonel_n commission_n from_o the_o late_a king_n his_o agree_v to_o

the_o cause_n of_o god_n and_o religion_n sir_n john_n at_o his_o trial_n do_v prove_v it_o by_o many_o witness_n that_o he_o frequent_v the_o public_a worship_n and_o attend_v the_o prayer_n in_o

our_o law_n require_v a_o firm_a allegiance_n to_o our_o sovereign_n and_o assert_v that_o no_o foreign_a or_o domestic_a power_n can_v alienate_v our_o allegiance_n i_o believe_v sir_n john_n may_v

be_v a_o question_n too_o knotty_a for_o he_o to_o resolve_v and_o therefore_o gentleman_n absolver_n the_o follow_a proposition_n be_v recommend_v to_o your_o consideration_n viz._n that_o all_o lawful_a sovereign_n have_v either_o their_o commission_n from_o god_n or_o the_o people_n or_o to_o speak_v better_a sense_n god_n and_o the_o people_n commission_n to_o their_o sovereign_n be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o god_n commission_n to_o the_o sovereign_n both_o in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n be_v to_o encourage_v the_o good_a and_o to_o punish_v and_o be_v a_o terror_n to_o the_o evil_a doer_n as_o appear_v from_o deut._n 17._o 15._o etc._n etc._n and_o rom._n 13._o 1._o etc._n etc._n and_o certain_o the_o commission_n of_o all_o people_n who_o be_v not_o fit_a for_o bedlam_n and_o bridewell_n than_o humane_a society_n be_v that_o the_o king_n shall_v make_v use_n of_o his_o authority_n for_o the_o benefit_n and_o preservation_n of_o the_o community_n over_o who_o he_o be_v constitute_v sovereign_a so_o that_o if_o he_o either_o invert_v his_o commission_n or_o act_n contrary_a thereunto_o by_o encourage_v the_o bad_a and_o afflict_v the_o good_a and_o declare_v that_o he_o will_v continue_v to_o do_v so_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o in_o so_o do_v he_o neither_o act_n by_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n nor_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o people_n and_o that_o when_o they_o resist_v he_o as_o act_v thus_o they_o do_v not_o resist_v authority_n but_o only_o the_o extravagancy_n of_o a_o usurper_n and_o that_o if_o god_n shall_v think_v fit_a to_o claim_v the_o forfeiture_n of_o his_o commission_n either_o by_o his_o own_o immediate_a hand_n as_o by_o frenzy_n or_o any_o other_o moral_a incapacity_n or_o mediate_o by_o the_o representatives_n of_o the_o join_a people_n he_o become_v thereby_o ipso_fw-la facto_fw-la divest_v of_o all_o right_n to_o our_o allegiance_n which_o i_o think_v be_v plain_a from_o this_o familiar_a instance_n if_o a_o husband_n violate_v the_o marriage-contract_n and_o upon_o his_o resolution_n of_o continue_v to_o do_v so_o his_o wife_n sue_v out_o a_o divorce_n let_v he_o pretend_v what_o he_o will_v he_o have_v no_o further_a right_n to_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o wife_n from_o the_o injure_a matron_n nor_o can_v she_o be_v say_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o disobedience_n to_o her_o husband_n in_o refuse_v it_o but_o do_v just_o forsake_v he_o as_o a_o divorce_v adulterer_n or_o to_o be_v yet_o more_o plain_a you_o may_v take_v it_o thus_o that_o whatever_o prince_n refuse_v to_o
