in_o any_o constitution_n whatever_o and_o that_o the_o end_n of_o government_n be_v quite_o lose_v if_o that_o person_n who_o subvert_v any_o particular_a government_n do_v not_o at_o the_o very_a

that_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o as_o to_o the_o instance_n which_o i_o have_v be_v able_a to_o mention_v do_v not_o amount_v to_o a_o subversion_n of_o our_o government_n if_o those_o law_n be_v unjust_a and_o void_a in_o themselves_o which_o the_o king_n dispense_v with_o as_o for_o the_o law_n about_o office_n civil_a and_o military_a from_o which_o papist_n be_v exclude_v they_o say_v the_o observator_fw-la have_v prove_v it_o often_o enough_o that_o they_o be_v null_a and_o void_a since_o no_o law_n can_v preclude_v a_o king_n from_o make_v use_n of_o his_o subject_n and_o for_o all_o the_o law_n against_o conventicle_n the_o author_n of_o a_o paper_n publish_v very_o late_o and_o license_v too_o call_v the_o case_n of_o the_o protestant_a dissenter_n represent_v and_o

that_o they_o have_v by_o the_o use_n of_o their_o liberty_n acknowledge_v a_o illegal_a dispense_v power_n we_o have_v say_v ☞_o he_o do_v no_o other_o thing_n herein_o than_o we_o do_v when_o no_o dispensation_n be_v give_v or_o pretend_v in_o conscience_n of_o duty_n to_o he_o that_o give_v we_o breath_n nor_o do_v therefore_o practice_n otherwise_o because_o we_o think_v those_o law_n dispense_v with_o but_o because_o we_o think_v they_o not_o law_n so_o that_o the_o result_n be_v that_o the_o late_a king_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v accuse_v of_o subvert_v the_o government_n by_o set_v aside_o those_o law_n which_o be_v void_a of_o themselves_o but_o i_o need_v not_o trouble_v your_o lordship_n with_o any_o answer_n to_o such_o a_o objection_n since_o i_o know_v your_o

suppose_v the_o observator_fw-la will_v not_o be_v fond_a of_o stand_v by_o his_o assertion_n and_o that_o the_o author_n of_o the_o dissenter_n case_v aught_o to_o have_v show_v some_o more_o manner_n than_o to_o cast_v such_o saucy_a and_o bold_a slander_n upon_o our_o parliament_n while_o one_o be_v actual_o sit_v it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o my_o vindication_n that_o the_o present_a parliament_n believe_v those_o law_n which_o the_o late_a king_n dispense_v with_o not_o only_o to_o be_v true_a but_o necessary_a law_n whatever_o these_o two_o gentleman_n with_o so_o much_o confidence_n have_v say_v to_o the_o contrary_n i_o will_v pass_v now_o to_o the_o other_o fundamental_a of_o our_o constitution_n which_o be_v that_o the_o government_n be_v administer_v according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n it_o be_v equal_o evident_a that_o this_o fundamental_a be_v subvert_v by_o the_o late_a king_n as_o well_o as_o the_o former_a for_o so_o far_o be_v he_o from_o

to_o have_v man_n hang_v up_o for_o desert_v in_o time_n of_o peace_n against_o law_n to_o have_v popish_a chapel_n jesuit_n school_n and_o the_o conventicle_n open_v against_o law_n in_o a_o word_n his_o resolution_n as_o well_o as_o his_o practice_n do_v show_v that_o the_o law_n be_v not_o intend_v to_o be_v make_v the_o rule_n of_o his_o government_n this_o be_v the_o true_a state_n of_o king_n james_n government_n and_o this_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o that_o essential_a of_o our_o constitution_n of_o govern_v according_a to_o law._n now_o if_o my_o lord_n it_o be_v the_o essence_n and_o the_o definition_n of_o the_o king_n in_o our_o government_n that_o he_o be_v one_o who_o govern_v the_o people_n commit_v to_o his_o charge_n according_a to_o law_n how_o can_v we_o reckon_v in_o this_o rank_a the_o late_a king_n from_o the_o time_n he_o be_v so_o resolute_o set_v upon_o govern_v against_o law_n in_o our_o constitution_n he_o that_o do_v not_o govern_v by_o law_n do_v not_o govern_v at_o all_o and_o he_o that_o do_v not_o nor_o will_v not_o govern_v at_o all_o can_v nor_o will_v not_o be_v king_n but_o cease_v to_o be_v such_o from_o the_o time_n he_o make_v his_o own_o will_n or_o his_o evil_a councillor_n advice_n the_o rule_n of_o his_o government_n and_o not_o the_o law_n i_o have_v almost_o forget_v another_o instance_n of_o the_o late_a king_n be_v dispense_v power_n and_o that_o be_v his_o lay_v aside_o those_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n and_o supremacy_n which_o yet_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o most_o man_n scruple_n how_o can_v this_o be_v look_v upon_o otherwise_o than_o as_o a_o condemnation_n of_o the_o oath_n as_o unlawful_a and_o if_o they_o be_v so_o we_o have_v the_o late_a king_n judgement_n also_o against_o the_o obligation_n of_o these_o two_o oath_n for_o if_o he_o to_o who_o the_o oath_n be_v take_v think_v they_o unlawful_a than_o they_o be_v certain_o fall_v as_o to_o him._n this_o be_v as_o if_o a_o person_n who_o have_v

our_o fundamental_o by_o not_o govern_v according_o to_o law_n do_v not_o make_v such_o a_o person_n cease_v be_v king_n yet_o that_o breach_n of_o the_o other_o the_o assume_v a_o legislative_a power_n which_o quite_o alter_v and_o tear_n up_o the_o whole_a frame_n of_o our_o constitution_n can_v do_v less_o than_o shake_v his_o right_n to_o the_o government_n who_o be_v so_o solicitous_a to_o destroy_v it_o he_o 17._o that_o will_v not_o govern_v as_o king_n of_o england_n will_v not_o govern_v at_o all_o and_o if_o he_o continue_v in_o this_o humour_n as_o the_o late_a king_n do_v from_o the_o time_n of_o assume_v his_o arbitrary_a constabit_fw-la dispense_v power_n how_o can_v he_o be_v long_a king_n and_o if_o he_o cease_v to_o be_v king_n by_o his_o leave_v off_o to_o

of_o the_o government_n which_o the_o late_a king_n take_v such_o indefatigable_a care_n to_o destroy_v that_o declaration_n be_v never_o intend_v for_o the_o destruction_n and_o ruin_n of_o our_o
