than_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o the_o fee_n and_o by_o consequence_n allegiance_n be_v due_a to_o he_o allegiance_n be_v also_o now_o in_o our_o present_a acceptation_n a_o obedience_n according_a

out_o of_o the_o word_n allegiance_n vanish_v in_o this_o short_a remnant_n our_o noter_fw-la tell_v we_o there_o be_v abundance_n of_o thing_n liable_a to_o exception_n fi●st_a that_o he_o outruns_a

for_o which_o i_o refer_v myself_o to_o what_o pass_v on_o the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o paragraph_n there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o a_o promise_n of_o bare_a obedience_n because_o they_o do_v actual_o obey_v and_o therefore_o the_o bishop_n argue_v as_o i_o before_o observe_v that_o ●or_a that_o reason_n they_o may_v promise_n to_o obey_v and_o if_o promise_v then_o swear_v the_o bishop_n

give_v we_o a_o notion_n of_o allegiance_n by_o the_o half_n for_o he_o say_v it_o be_v in_o its_o original_a signification_n nothing_o but_o the_o service_n due_a to_o the_o chief_a lord_n of_o the_o

pastoral_n letter_n the_o very_a term_n of_o allegiance_n rise_v out_o of_o the_o feudal_n law_n by_o which_o the_o chief_a lord_n of_o a_o fee_n when_o he_o make_v any_o grant_n to_o his_o vassal_n

it_o can_v not_o be_v suppose_v to_o bind_v they_o any_o long_o so_o that_o the_o bishop_n suppose_v a_o reciprocal_a duty_n between_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o fee_n and_o the_o vassal_n because_o if_o the_o former_a violate_a his_o contract_n the_o obligation_n of_o allegiance_n cease_v three_o he_o make_v the_o king_n the_o lord_n of_o the_o fee_n to_o entitle_v he_o to_o our_o oath_n of_o

the_o bishop_n tell_v we_o plain_o our_o allegiance_n in_o general_n be_v a_o obedience_n according_a to_o law_n which_o he_o explain_v not_o a_o blind_a nor_o absolute_a obedience_n but_o such_o a_o

thing_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o law_n the_o obligation_n of_o our_o obedience_n cease_v and_o we_o may_v refuse_v it_o and_o here_o i_o will_v insert_v what_o the_o bishop_n affirm_v to_o this_o

by_o many_o positive_a and_o express_a law_n if_o then_o we_o have_v a_o right_n to_o our_o property_n we_o must_v likewise_o be_v suppose_v to_o have_v a_o right_a to_o preserve_v it_o for_o those_o

it_o be_v also_o evident_o declare_v by_o our_o law_n that_o all_o order_n and_o warrant_n that_o be_v issue_v out_o in_o opposition_n to_o they_o be_v null_a of_o themselves_o and_o by_o

be_v void_a of_o themselves_o be_v indeed_o no_o commission_n in_o the_o construction_n of_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o they_o who_o act_n in_o virtue_n of_o they_o be_v still_o to_o be_v

with_o this_o word_n fact_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v try_v to_o lay_v the_o goblin_n the_o bishop_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o your_o goblin●_n fact_n he_o always_o own_a the_o king_n right_a to_o the_o crown_n to_o be_v legal_a and_o by_o the_o virtual_a consent_n of_o the_o people_n if_o the_o bishop_n chance_v to_o write_v any_o word_n though_o in_o the_o application_n of_o it_o it_o relate_v to_o other_o person_n without_o ever_o weigh_v or_o consider_v the_o intention_n or_o design_n of_o it_o he_o run_v away_o with_o his_o whymsical_a misapprehension_n of_o the_o ma●ter_n and_o from_o his_o own_o mistake_n make_v and_o force_v the_o bishop_n to_o say_v or_o write_v any_o thing_n to_o his_o squint_v purpose_n the_o bishop_n apply_v himself_o to_o the_o non_fw-fr juror_n because_o as_o they_o can_v not_o deny_v he_o to_o be_v king_n in_o fact_n that_o be_v to_o be_v in_o possession_n of_o the_o throne_n so_o they_o ought_v to_o swear_v allegiance_n to_o he_o in_o

according_a to_o law_n in_o opposition_n to_o a_o blind_a and_o absolute_a obedience_n though_o they_o be_v still_o to_o retain_v their_o passive_a obedience_n which_o be_v certain_o blind_a and_o absolute_a obedience_n or_o else_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n in_o this_o place_n more_o particular_o i_o appeal_v to_o mr._n johnson_n great_a a●mirers_n if_o they_o have_v but_o common_a justice_n for_o truth_n whether_o any_o jesuit_n can_v have_v pervert_v the_o intention_n or_o sense_n of_o any_o author_n more_o villainous_o and_o barefaced_a than_o he_o have_v the_o bishop_n in_o this_o note_n be_v here_o the_o least_o shadow_n of_o a_o insinuation_n of_o passive_a obedience_n when_o our_o allegiance_n be_v declare_v a_o obedience_n only_o according_a to_o law_n that_o be_v to_o say_v not_o a_o blind_a or_o absolute_a obedience_n but_o such_o a_o obedience_n as_o be_v define_v and_o limit_v by_o the_o law_n now_o what_o can_v have_v be_v express_v more_o opposite_a to_o passive_a obedience_n nor_o can_v they_o or_o any_o other_o retain_v their_o passive_a obedience_n if_o they_o keep_v to_o the_o law_n because_o passive_a obedience_n be_v a_o tame_a submission_n to_o those_o illegal_a command_n of_o a_o king_n that_o be_v evident_o against_o and_o tend_v to_o destroy_v all_o law_n no_o man_n have_v assert_v the_o law_n and_o public_a liberty_n

i_o be_o afraid_a it_o be_v like_o a_o estate_n leave_v in_o our_o late_a diego_n wickhams_n '_o will_n because_o all_o compulsion_n take_v away_o the_o liberty_n of_o do_v or_o not_o do_v promise_v

you_o mr._n johnson_n i_o have_v no_o prejudice_n against_o your_o person_n i_o will_v neither_o lessen_v your_o merit_n nor_o suffering_n but_o i_o be_o in_o the_o way_n of_o writing_n mr._n

observe_v the_o consequence_n therefore_o a_o man_n may_v not_o lawful_o promise_v to_o do_v every_o thing_n which_o he_o may_v lawful_o do_v o_o profound_a logician_n now_o i_o will_v fain_o

this_o be_v so_o pretty_a a_o instance_n that_o i_o can_v choose_v but_o repeat_v it_o once_o more_o it_o be_v certain_o lawful_a for_o i_o to_o submit_v to_o this_o usage_n when_o i_o can_v not_o
