under_o illegal_a violence_n and_o to_o seek_v a_o occasion_n of_o undergo_a those_o suffering_n a_o man_n self_n which_o our_o saviour_n himself_o allow_v he_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n open_a at_o least_o by_o flight_n to_o escape_v nay_o i_o will_v go_v yet_o one_o step_n far_o in_o this_o case_n and_o allow_v the_o party_n that_o under_o shelter_n of_o a_o royal_a commission_n seek_v a_o man_n destruction_n to_o have_v in_o some_o juncture_n all_o the_o strength_n of_o law_n on_o their_o side_n and_o withal_o suppose_v he_o that_o be_v so_o endanger_v to_o be_v by_o

famous_a london-derry_n be_v the_o design_a scene_n of_o a_o popish_a persecution_n where_o a_o protestant_n by_o his_o habitation_n and_o the_o obligation_n of_o his_o other_o circumstance_n reside_v and_o be_v by_o the_o make_v the_o city_n a_o garrison_n without_o his_o contribute_v thereunto_o in_o the_o least_o that_o we_o may_v lay_v the_o case_n as_o whole_o and_o entire_o passive_a as_o may_v be_v safe_a while_o he_o remain_v there_o this_o man_n be_v so_o far_o possess_v with_o a_o conscientious_a principle_n of_o passive_a obedience_n that_o even_o in_o these_o circumstance_n he_o dare_v not_o take_v up_o arm_n with_o the_o garrison_n when_o beleagured_n as_o late_o to_o maintain_v the_o wall_n and_o therein_o his_o own_o house_n etc._n etc._n against_o k._n j._n and_o his_o

not_o lawful_a even_o for_o a_o man_n so_o principled_a to_o accept_v of_o the_o protection_n which_o without_o his_o seek_n his_o habitation_n give_v he_o be_v the_o hand_n which_o defend_v it_o

the_o suppose_a rebel-governour_n and_o his_o garrison_n if_o not_o what_o be_v he_o oblige_v to_o do_v be_v there_o any_o who_o will_v judge_v it_o to_o be_v his_o duty_n by_o the_o obligation_n of_o his_o principle_n of_o passive_a obedience_n to_o endeavour_v to_o raise_v a_o tumult_n within_o against_o the_o governor_n or_o to_o betray_v that_o power_n that_o illegal_o protect_v he_o by_o entertain_v spy_n from_o the_o besieger_n or_o send_v they_o intelligence_n you_o will_v say_v it_o may_v be_v this_o be_v more_o than_o passive_a obedience_n this_o be_v action_n rather_o but_o still_o this_o be_v in_o order_n to_o the_o passivity_n he_o think_v he_o owe_v the_o law_n or_o be_v he_o to_o take_v a_o short_a course_n to_o it_o to_o withdraw_v himself_o out_o of_o his_o
