the_o king_n strive_v to_o please_v the_o people_n and_o they_o be_v willing_a to_o gratify_v he_o by_o connive_v at_o his_o fault_n but_o beside_o all_o this_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v and_o this_o law_n can_v be_v extinguish_v by_o any_o other_o law_n whatsoever_o and_o this_o i_o never_o hear_v any_o man_n deny_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n command_v self-preservation_n and_o then_o i_o will_v ask_v whether_o i_o be_o to_o obey_v he_o that_o will_v destroy_v i_o if_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o prince_n that_o plain_o declare_v either_o by_o his_o word_n or_o action_n that_o he_o will_v change_v our_o government_n and_o religion_n or_o that_o he_o will_v give_v we_o up_o to_o a_o foreigner_n or_o else_o that_o he_o will_v govern_v by_o a_o stand_a army_n and_o take_v away_o our_o property_n must_v i_o obey_v he_o must_v i_o not_o endeavour_v to_o rescue_v myself_o and_o country_n from_o ruin_n for_o in_o the_o saxon_n time_n treason_n do_v not_o relate_v to_o any_o thing_n but_o the_o government_n and_o the_o general_n concern_v of_o the_o nation_n and_o not_o to_o the_o single_a person_n of_o the_o king_n and_o now_o though_o it_o be_v treason_n to_o kill_v the_o king_n yet_o it_o be_v only_o in_o order_n to_o the_o public_a good_a and_o therefore_o with_o the_o saxon_n all_o indictment_n against_o legience_n conclude_v feloniae_fw-la &_o proditoriae_fw-la but_o against_o the_o person_n of_o the_o king_n only_a feloniae_fw-la but_o in_o our_o day_n we_o find_v thing_n be_v creep_v in_o that_o be_v difficult_a to_o tell_v how_o or_o when_o they_o come_v in_o and_o you_o shall_v find_v in_o all_o our_o ancient_a law_n that_o whatever_o be_v decree_v or_o enact_v be_v for_o the_o common_a good_a and_o the_o king_n be_v not_o concern_v otherwise_o than_o so_o far_o as_o relate_v to_o the_o commonwealth_n though_o i_o know_v in_o our_o day_n another_o opinion_n be_v assert_v which_o i_o be_o sure_a can_v be_v maintain_v that_o all_o thing_n must_v give_v place_n to_o the_o king_n be_v particular_a interest_n for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o will_v obey_v the_o king_n but_o i_o think_v my_o obedience_n be_v oblige_v no_o further_a than_o what_o he_o command_v be_v for_o the_o common_a good_n our_o government_n ever_o since_o the_o conquest_n have_v proceed_v upon_o the_o saxon_a principle_n and_o they_o be_v ground_v upon_o self-preservation_n which_o i_o do_v not_o find_v to_o be_v repeat_v by_o any_o act_n of_o parliament_n for_o all_o our_o lawyer_n do_v agree_v that_o it_o be_v treason_n to_o subvert_v the_o government_n and_o if_o so_o without_o doubt_n our_o allegiance_n the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o of_o nature_n command_v we_o to_o defend_v they_o i_o will_v detain_v you_o no_o long_o but_o only_o to_o consider_v this_o one_o thing_n whenever_o we_o have_v a_o popish_a king_n we_o must_v expect_v a_o alteration_n at_o least_o in_o our_o religion_n for_o though_o he_o take_v all_o the_o oath_n and_o declaration_n that_o can_v be_v devise_v yet_o it_o ever_o stand_v in_o the_o way_n to_o oppose_v the_o interest_n of_o rome_n they_o must_v all_o give_v place_n and_o it_o be_v meritorious_a to_o break_v those_o engagement_n for_o that_o purpose_n or_o at_o worst_a hand_n be_v certain_o pardon_v if_o he_o presume_v to_o do_v it_o without_o a_o dispensation_n and_o it_o be_v no_o more_o in_o his_o power_n to_o preserve_v our_o religion_n than_o it_o be_v for_o he_o to_o work_v a_o impossibility_n and_o therefore_o whether_o it_o be_v better_a to_o oppose_v a_o popish_a successor_n see_v we_o have_v the_o practice_n of_o our_o forefather_n to_o justify_v we_o in_o it_o and_o beside_o he_o can_v if_o he_o will_v defend_v we_o or_o else_o to_o suffer_v he_o to_o rest_v in_o the_o throne_n to_o destroy_v all_o we_o have_v and_o bring_v in_o a_o religion_n that_o will_v damn_v million_o of_o soul_n from_o generation_n to_o generation_n and_o if_o we_o may_v not_o defend_v our_o religion_n than_o we_o must_v absolute_o depend_v upon_o providence_n in_o every_o thing_n and_o not_o put_v out_o our_o hand_n to_o help_v ourselves_o up_o when_o we_o be_v fall_v into_o a_o ditch_n this_o be_v the_o case_n and_o here_o be_v a_o end_n of_o all_o human_a policy_n but_o without_o doubt_v it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o do_v our_o endeavour_n and_o leave_v the_o
