aught_o to_o be_v answerable_a for_o their_o default_n i_o be_o confident_a this_o doctrine_n can_v be_v strange_a to_o any_o man_n that_o have_v cast_v his_o eye_n never_o so_o little_a upon_o the_o

to_o arm_v the_o subject_n at_o their_o pleasure_n against_o their_o sovereign_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n to_o revenge_v themselves_o upon_o the_o prince_n that_o will_v not_o submit_v unto_o the_o

a_o usurpation_n over_o the_o church_n make_v many_o people_n sit_v so_o uneasy_a and_o discontent_a under_o the_o episcopal_a jurisdiction_n and_o hate_v bishop_n so_o this_o unchristian_a doctrine_n which_o make_v sovereign_a and_o independent_a prince_n usurper_n over_o the_o people_n liberty_n must_v also_o make_v all_o people_n that_o believe_v it_o uneasy_a and_o discontent_a under_o

unscriptural_a and_o absurd_a doctrine_n be_v teach_v unscriptural_a i_o call_v it_o because_o it_o be_v so_o contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n which_o assert_v such_o wicked_a prince_n as_o tiberius_n nabuchadnezzar_n claudius_n and_o nero_n to_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n and_o commamd_v allegiance_n both_o in_o subjection_n and_o

whether_o senate_n or_o prince_n be_v usurper_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v reduce_v or_o depose_v second_o they_o can_v tell_v we_o upon_o this_o hypothesis_n whether_o the_o supreme_a power_n belong_v

of_o thing_n but_o what_o education_n make_v but_o admit_v that_o the_o sovereign_a power_n be_v only_o in_o the_o man_n than_o they_o be_v as_o hard_o puzzle_v to_o tell_v we_o whether_o it_o b●_n
