speech_n which_o at_o least_o do_v not_o become_v the_o charity_n of_o one_o just_a go_v out_o of_o the_o world_n therefore_o i_o rather_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v draw_v up_o by_o some_o person_n of_o more_o art_n and_o leisure_n who_o think_v it_o best_a to_o convey_v their_o own_o sentiment_n as_o they_o call_v they_o under_o the_o more_o popular_a name_n of_o one_o who_o suffer_v for_o their_o cause_n but_o the_o weight_n of_o what_o be_v say_v do_v not_o depend_v on_o the_o person_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v calm_o and_o impartial_o consider_v the_o thing_n themselves_o and_o show_v how_o unjust_a and_o unreasonable_a the_o insinuation_n be_v which_o respect_n the_o present_a government_n and_o all_o such_o who_o act_n in_o obedience_n to_o it_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n this_o paper_n be_v say_v to_o be_v design_v for_o to_o assert_v his_o principle_n and_o to_o testify_v his_o innocency_n for_o his_o principle_n he_o profess_v that_o he_o die_v in_o the_o faith_n and_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o he_o may_v have_v live_v long_o in_o both_o if_o he_o have_v please_v for_o i_o can_v see_v how_o the_o faith_n and_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n oblige_v he_o to_o do_v that_o for_o which_o he_o suffer_v but_o by_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n he_o mean_v the_o doctrine_n of_o passive_a obedience_n be_v it_o so_o however_o he_o suffer_v not_o for_o his_o passive_a obedience_n but_o for_o the_o want_n of_o it_o if_o he_o have_v regulate_v his_o life_n by_o this_o principle_n he_o have_v preserve_v it_o yet_o he_o say_v he_o do_v so_o and_o die_v for_o it_o there_o must_v be_v certain_o then_o some_o great_a mistake_n about_o the_o doctrine_n and_o principle_n of_o our_o church_n i_o always_o think_v those_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o article_n and_o constitution_n of_o it_o which_o of_o these_o do_v he_o suffer_v for_o they_o be_v he_o say_v her_o principle_n and_o late_a much_o esteem_v doctrine_n though_o now_o unhappy_o explode_v i_o know_v of_o no_o doctrine_n or_o principle_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n which_o be_v explode_v among_o we_o and_o therefore_o this_o be_v unhappy_o insist_v on_o by_o a_o die_a man_n unless_o he_o have_v give_v some_o proof_n of_o it_o well_o but_o he_o believe_v himself_o oblige_v by_o his_o religion_n to_o look_v upon_o his_o rightful_a lawful_a prince_n whatever_o his_o principle_n be_v or_o his_o practice_n may_v be_v as_o god_n vicegerent_n and_o accountable_a to_o god_n only_o from_o who_o he_o receive_v his_o power_n all_o this_o he_o may_v have_v do_v and_o have_v be_v alive_a still_o for_o the_o matter_n in_o dispute_n be_v not_o whether_o rightful_a lawful_a king_n be_v to_o be_v obey_v but_o who_o in_o our_o present_a circumstance_n be_v our_o rightful_a lawful_a sovereign_n not_o whether_o king_n be_v not_o god_n vicegerent_n '_o but_o whether_o god_n do_v not_o sometime_o confer_v the_o right_n of_o sovereignty_n by_o a_o law_n superior_a to_o the_o law_n of_o particular_a country_n that_o be_v by_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n which_o establish_v such_o a_o right_n upon_o the_o success_n of_o a_o just_a war_n not_o whether_o sovereign_a prince_n be_v not_o accountable_a only_o to_o god_n but_o whether_o allegiance_n be_v not_o due_a where_o the_o right_n of_o sovereignty_n be_v place_v by_o a_o extraordinary_a act_n of_o providence_n and_o the_o concurrent_a consent_n of_o the_o nation_n but_o he_o go_v on_o and_o always_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n the_o church_n and_o the_o realm_n upon_o any_o pretence_n whatsoever_o to_o take_v up_o arm_n against_o he_o and_o let_v all_o the_o world_n take_v notice_n in_o this_o belief_n i_o die_v i_o have_v much_o rathor_n have_v take_v notice_n that_o in_o this_o belief_n he_o live_v for_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n of_o his_o die_v for_o it_o for_o why_o must_v a_o man_n be_v say_v to_o die_v for_o not_o take_v up_o arm_n who_o be_v condemn_v to_o die_v for_o a_o design_n just_o contrary_a viz._n for_o the_o subvert_v the_o present_a government_n by_o domestic_a insurrection_n and_o foreign_a power_n so_o that_o the_o question_n be_v not_o about_o passive_a obedience_n but_o to_o who_o it_o be_v due_a i_o grant_v that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o realm_n be_v to_o determine_v the_o measure_n of_o our_o obedience_n but_o here_o lie_v the_o only_a point_n whether_o the_o right_n of_o sovereignty_n may_v not_o be_v transfer_v by_o the_o success_n of_o a_o just_a war_n and_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n for_o if_o they_o may_v then_o according_a to_o his_o own_o principle_n he_o suffer_v just_o and_o if_o the_o director_n of_o his_o conscience_n do_v not_o speak_v to_o this_o point_n they_o lead_v he_o into_o a_o dangerous_a error_n and_o have_v be_v too_o much_o the_o occasion_n of_o his_o suffering_n therefore_o to_o clear_v this_o whole_a matter_n and_o to_o prevent_v the_o like_a mistake_v in_o other_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o state_n the_o present_a case_n of_o our_o government_n so_o as_o to_o show_v both_o that_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o submit_v to_o it_o and_o that_o no_o principle_n or_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v violate_v thereby_o to_o do_v this_o we_o must_v of_o necessity_n look_v back_o to_o the_o occasion_n of_o this_o great_a revolution_n and_o there_o be_v two_o principal_a occasion_n of_o it_o first_o great_a and_o violent_a presumption_n of_o a_o injury_n to_o the_o right_n of_o succession_n second_o too_o great_a evidence_n of_o a_o form_a design_n to_o subvert_v the_o establish_a religion_n and_o civil_a liberty_n of_o the_o nation_n now_o there_o be_v two_o very_a material_a question_n which_o arise_v from_o hence_o first_o whether_o these_o be_v the_o just_a occasion_n of_o a_o war_n second_o whether_o upon_o the_o success_n of_o this_o war_n the_o right_n of_o sovereignty_n be_v due_o transfer_v if_o these_o be_v just_a occasion_n of_o a_o war_n and_o upon_o the_o success_n thereof_o the_o sovereignty_n be_v due_o transfer_v then_o there_o can_v be_v no_o dispute_n leave_v to_o who_o our_o allegiance_n be_v due_a it_o be_v take_v for_o grant_v by_o all_o who_o understand_v these_o matter_n that_o as_o there_o be_v a_o law_n of_o nature_n which_o determine_v the_o right_n and_o property_n of_o particular_a nation_n and_o that_o all_o private_a person_n be_v bind_v to_o submit_v to_o the_o municipal_a law_n of_o those_o society_n for_o their_o peace_n and_o security_n so_o there_o be_v other_o law_n which_o concern_v those_o nation_n as_o they_o make_v up_o several_a independent_a government_n upon_o each_o other_o and_o there_o be_v several_a right_n which_o belong_v to_o they_o with_o respect_n to_o one_o another_o which_o do_v not_o belong_v to_o private_a person_n as_o they_o live_v in_o subjection_n to_o any_o particular_a government_n and_o as_o there_o be_v such_o right_n so_o there_o must_v be_v a_o just_a and_o lawful_a way_n for_o reparation_n of_o injury_n in_o particular_a government_n the_o thing_n be_v plain_a by_o establish_a law_n and_o court_n of_o judicature_n who_o sentence_n be_v execute_v by_o the_o civil_a power_n but_o in_o separate_a nation_n and_o independent_a government_n although_o there_o be_v law_n by_o consent_n call_v the_o law_n of_o nation_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o common_a judicature_n to_o determine_v of_o right_n and_o wrong_n and_o therefore_o in_o case_n of_o injury_n there_o be_v a_o allowance_n for_o the_o injure_a party_n by_o this_o law_n of_o nation_n to_o right_n himself_o by_o force_n as_o there_o will_v be_v to_o every_o particular_a person_n if_o there_o be_v no_o law_n nor_o power_n to_o see_v they_o execute_v there_o be_v then_o a_o right_n in_o every_o sovereign_n and_o independent_a prince_n to_o exercise_v force_n against_o another_o prince_n who_o detain_v any_o right_n from_o he_o or_o do_v any_o injury_n to_o he_o or_o to_o those_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o defend_v the_o question_n than_o come_v to_o the_o just_a occasion_n of_o such_o a_o war_n and_o here_o be_v two_o assign_v first_o great_a and_o violent_a presumption_n of_o a_o injury_n to_o the_o right_n of_o succession_n this_o be_v express_o mention_v and_o insist_v on_o in_o the_o

that_o sufficient_a evidence_n shall_v be_v give_v in_o a_o case_n of_o such_o importance_n and_o which_o be_v under_o so_o great_a suspicion_n but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o reasonable_a care_n take_v
