kill_v his_o persecutor_n though_o lawful_a governor_n than_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v put_v to_o death_n by_o they_o these_o be_v the_o principal_a argument_n for_o obedience_n or_o at_o least_o

that_o monarchy_n be_v strict_o and_o proper_o of_o divine_a institution_n can_v be_v defend_v 1._o because_o then_o all_o other_o form_n of_o government_n be_v wicked_a invention_n under_o which_o it_o must_v be_v unlawful_a to_o live_v the_o which_o i_o think_v none_o will_v assert_v 2._o because_o then_o the_o monarch_n sin_v against_o god_n if_o he_o part_v with_o the_o least_o branch_n of_o his_o prerogative_n without_o express_a licence_n from_o heaven_n and_o then_o our_o english_a government_n itself_o though_o monarchical_a must_v also_o be_v condemn_v it_o seem_v therefore_o as_o i_o conceive_v very_o plain_a that_o though_o the_o king_n power_n be_v from_o god_n who_o vicegerent_n he_o be_v and_o not_o the_o people_n creature_n yet_o he_o may_v be_v limit_v in_o the_o

opinion_n of_o our_o three_o last_o king_n the_o bless_a martyr_n charles_n the_o i._o declare_v from_o new-marked_n that_o the_o law_n be_v the_o measure_n of_o his_o power_n and_o at_o another_o

to_o make_v the_o law_n his_o rule_n and_o to_o govern_v according_a to_o law_n and_o king_n james_n the_o second_o in_o his_o speech_n at_o his_o first_o sit_v in_o privy_a council_n recite_v a_o calumny_n that_o have_v be_v report_v of_o he_o that_o he_o be_v a_o man_n for_o arbitrary_a power_n to_o assure_v we_o of_o the_o contrary_a he_o say_v i_o know_v the_o law_n of_o england_n be_v

which_o their_o subject_n owe_v they_o shall_v be_v measure_n by_o the_o know_a law_n of_o the_o land_n if_o therefore_o the_o king_n require_v that_o which_o be_v not_o forbid_v by_o the_o law_n of_o
