providence_n as_o the_o dr._n say_v have_v no_o effect_n at_o all_o on_o such_o personal_a right_n so_o humane_a entail_v also_o will_v be_v a_o reason_n why_o providence_n have_v no_o effect_n at_o all_o on_o such_o regal_a right_n or_o at_o least_o the_o one_o will_v be_v as_o good_a a_o reason_n as_o the_o other_o at_o last_o the_o dr._n come_v to_o prove_v his_o point_n from_o the_o poet_n and_o tell_v i_o the_o poet_n will_v have_v teach_v he_o the_o difference_n between_o these_o two_o case_n and_o i_o confess_v i_o shall_v rather_o have_v expect_v this_o doctrine_n in_o a_o poet_n

for_o all_o that_o he_o say_v as_o the_o dr._n quote_v he_o be_v that_o the_o government_n of_o king_n be_v over_o their_o own_o subject_n and_o the_o government_n of_o jupiter_n be_v over_o king_n themselves_o and_o that_o he_o may_v very_o well_o think_v without_o the_o drs._n notion_n of_o providence_n and_o what_o opinion_n the_o poet_n have_v of_o providence_n do_v not_o appear_v but_o

the_o drs._n character_n the_o dispute_n be_v between_o the_o providential_a possession_n of_o the_o throne_n and_o of_o a_o private_a estate_n now_o to_o make_v the_o case_n parallel_v in_o the_o

according_a to_o this_o doctrine_n do_v providence_n and_o government_n signify_v permission_n when_o the_o people_n do_v not_o consent_v but_o not_o when_o they_o do_v do_v god_n look_v on_o and_o

here_o the_o dr._n start_v a_o objection_n that_o to_o say_v that_o prosperous_a usurper_n be_v place_v in_o the_o throne_n by_o god_n and_o have_v his_o authority_n be_v to_o make_v god_n a_o party_n

for_o if_o god_n can_v direct_v and_o over-rule_v rule_v the_o wickedness_n of_o man_n to_o accomplish_v his_o own_o wise_a counsel_n and_o purpose_n without_o be_v the_o author_n of_o those_o sin_n

to_o prove_v that_o god_n can_v over-rule_v the_o ambition_n of_o prince_n and_o the_o faction_n and_o rebellion_n of_o subject_n that_o if_o he_o can_v permit_v the_o wickedness_n of_o man_n

not_o to_o meddle_v with_o those_o bold_a expression_n what_o do_v or_o what_o do_v not_o become_v the_o wise_a governor_n of_o the_o world_n i_o be_o sure_a it_o become_v we_o to_o speak_v a_o
