by_o implication_n i_o will_v answer_v distinct_o concern_v this_o reservation_n of_o power_n of_o forcible_a resistance_n 1._o there_o be_v a_o reservation_n of_o liberty_n or_o power_n of_o not_o

as_o the_o doctor_n imagine_v but_o contradictory_n to_o the_o very_a institution_n of_o a_o monarchy_n and_o so_o under_o that_o intention_n impossible_a 3._o a_o power_n of_o forcible_a resistance_n of_o subversive_a instrument_n this_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o reserve_v but_o express_o commit_v not_o only_o to_o the_o house_n of_o parliament_n but_o all_o inferior_a

3._o the_o consent_n and_o intention_n of_o the_o people_n choose_v a_o monarch_n can_v infer_v it_o because_o it_o be_v not_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o power_n itself_o answer_v i_o have_v before_o

what_o as_o appear_v in_o the_o debate_n in_o the_o end_n of_o my_o treatise_n may_v soon_o be_v answer_v out_o of_o the_o declaration_n of_o the_o house_n and_o the_o fresh_a memory_n of_o past_a

become_v of_o this_o present_a contention_n in_o this_o kingdom_n now_o concern_v that_o thesis_n in_o my_o treatise_n of_o monarchy_n i_o have_v affirm_v and_o confirm_v two_o thing_n 1._o that_o if_o he_o can_v make_v it_o good_a yet_o it_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o business_n he_o have_v undertake_v which_o be_v to_o satisfy_v the_o conscience_n concern_v the_o unlawfulnesse_n of_o resist_a

the_o king_n be_v the_o people_n law_n resistance_n of_o instrument_n be_v unlawful_a if_o actuate_v by_o the_o sovereign_n will_n yet_o in_o legal_a and_o limit_a government_n it_o do_v not_o

the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n in_o supremacy_n of_o case_n of_o resistance_n of_o kind_n of_o monarchy_n of_o the_o constitution_n of_o this_o monarchy_n but_o how_o true_o and_o satisfactory_o it_o

and_o doubt_v not_o to_o call_v the_o contrary_a resolution_n a_o blaspheme_v of_o god_n and_o the_o king_n p_o 4._o i_o answer_v if_o there_o be_v any_o which_o will_v defend_v the_o lawfulness_n

what_o he_o intend_v in_o this_o present_a book_n sc_fw-la that_o he_o will_v clear_v this_o point_n that_o the_o doctrine_n teach_v that_o subject_n may_v take_v arm_n against_o their_o sovereign_n for_o the_o defence_n of_o religion_n and_o liberty_n when_o in_o danger_n of_o subversion_n be_v destitute_a of_o scripture_n and_o true_a reason_n as_o i_o say_v still_o he_o drive_v at_o a_o vain_a
