authority_n take_v upon_o he_o the_o sovereignty_n by_o the_o assistance_n of_o some_o loose_a irregular_a party_n without_o right_n and_o this_o sort_n of_o tyrant_n be_v he_o who_o by_o the_o law_n

than_o by_o too_o nice_a insist_v upon_o the_o regularity_n of_o proceed_n by_o law_n lose_v both_o the_o law_n and_o the_o state_n also_o and_o when_o i_o consider_v this_o i_o can_v but_o say_v it_o

rare_o that_o such_o a_o lawful_a prince_n forget_v his_o duty_n shall_v become_v beyond_o measure_n cruel_a covetous_a and_o wicked_a pervert_v both_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o man_n which_o be_v

these_o two_o sort_n of_o tyrant_n have_v lead_v many_o into_o great_a mistake_n hold_v it_o lawful_a for_o subject_n to_o rise_v up_o in_o arm_n against_o any_o sort_n of_o tyrant_n a_o conclusion_n of_o a_o most_o dangerous_a and_o destructive_a as_o well_o as_o irreligious_a consequence_n for_o where_o that_o opinion_n have_v get_v any_o foot_n seditious_a and_o ambitious_a man_n will_v never_o fail_v to_o scandalize_v the_o best_a of_o prince_n thereby_o to_o provoke_v the_o people_n to_o rebellion_n that_o these_o few_o villain_n may_v reap_v some_o profit_n to_o themselves_o by_o the_o ruin_n of_o multitude_n of_o other_o and_o it_o have_v be_v often_o experience_v that_o rebellion_n against_o a_o lawful_a prince_n though_o ever_o so_o cruel_a have_v cause_v more_o mischief_n than_o can_v possible_o have_v happen_v have_v such_o a_o one_o be_v suffer_v for_o his_o time_n even_o in_o kingdom_n where_o king_n have_v more_o power_n to_o do_v evil_a than_o here_o they_o have_v so_o that_o in_o human_a prudence_n as_o well_o as_o in_o obedience_n to_o divine_a precept_n and_o for_o our_o own_o oath_n sake_n it_o be_v most_o safe_a for_o we_o to_o be_v firm_a in_o our_o allegiance_n to_o our_o king_n and_o their_o heir_n and_o as_o to_o what_o may_v happen_v upon_o failure_n of_o heir_n and_o who_o then_o shall_v be_v successor_n let_v it_o alone_o for_o those_o to_o determine_v that_o may_v be_v then_o concern_v but_o for_o my_o part_n i_o be_o resolve_v not_o to_o be_v forswear_v for_o any_o power_n upon_o earth_n for_o i_o be_o confident_a those_o above_n will_v never_o desire_v it_o nay_o more_o god_n have_v say_v he_o will_v not_o hold_v he_o guiltless_a that_o take_v his_o name_n in_o vain_a it_o be_v say_v by_o our_o saviour_n that_o all_o sin_n shall_v be_v forgive_v man_n but_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o i_o have_v often_o think_v wilful_a perjury_n may_v be_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n not_o only_o from_o the_o evil_a consequence_n of_o it_o which_o be_v dreadful_a but_o even_o from_o the_o word_n of_o the_o commandment_n that_o forbid_v it_o which_o say_v thou_o shall_v not_o take_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n in_o vain_a which_o have_v this_o meaning_n thou_o shall_v not_o swear_v false_o by_o his_o name_n or_o affirm_v any_o thing_n false_o and_o call_v god_n to_o witness_v the_o truth_n of_o it_o for_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o hold_v he_o guiltless_a that_o take_v his_o name_n in_o vain_a which_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v as_o if_o it_o have_v say_v god_n will_v not_o pardon_v he_o that_o take_v his_o name_n in_o vain_a and_o there_o be_v not_o that_o say_v of_o the_o breaker_n of_o any_o of_o the_o other_o law_n but_o this_o i_o refer_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o yourself_o and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o bill_n of_o exclusion-man_n and_o to_o all_o other_o that_o make_v shipwreck_n of_o their_o oath_n and_o conscience_n and_o let_v i_o
