but_o he_o will_v do_v well_o to_o remember_v that_o he_o have_v not_o only_o already_o allow_v this_o but_o commend_v it_o and_o how_o if_o hereafter_o a_o part_n of_o the_o whole_a again_o shall_v have_v a_o inward_a warrant_n to_o pretend_v the_o like_a will_v not_o he_o permit_v such_o to_o try_v by_o the_o law_n of_o success_n and_o conquest_n to_o uphold_v that_o inward_a warrant_n of_o justice_n and_o righteousness_n which_o encourage_v they_o in_o such_o their_o act_n it_o will_v behard_v to_o commend_v this_o in_o some_o and_o condemn_v it_o in_o other_o nay_o it_o will_v seem_v

oblige_v to_o our_o author_n who_o have_v so_o wrong_o set_v it_o down_o do_v yet_o excuse_v we_o in_o it_o nay_o do_v extol_v that_o in_o we_o which_o he_o himself_o say_v will_n be_v the_o way_n to_o anarchy_n confusion_n and_o tyranny_n in_o all_o other_o if_o our_o author_n be_v not_o a_o soldier_n sure_o he_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o be_v one_o for_o he_o tell_v we_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o

be_v most_o proper_o sovereign_a and_o possess_v their_o right_n of_o natural_a sovereignty_n for_o my_o part_n i_o shall_v clear_o confess_v i_o do_v not_o understand_v that_o there_o be_v or_o ever_o be_v original_o a_o natural_a sovereignty_n in_o any_o society_n for_o no_o society_n be_v by_o nature_n but_o by_o pact_n or_o agreement_n and_o till_o such_o pact_n or_o agreement_n every_o

all_o man_n be_v sensible_a of_o lay_v it_o down_o upon_o agree_v on_o condition_n by_o which_o all_o be_v oblige_v to_o help_v each_o other_o in_o the_o defence_n of_o their_o common_a bargain_n so_o that_o no_o body_n of_o people_n have_v sovereignty_n by_o nature_n but_o by_o pact_n and_o we_o have_v doubtless_o a_o better_a and_o more_o firm_a right_o than_o this_o natural_a one_o which_o our_o author_n mention_n i_o mean_v a_o legal_a right_n to_o which_o all_o have_v subject_v themselves_o explicit_o and_o by_o which_o no_o evasion_n be_v leave_v for_o disobedience_n at_o least_o few_o than_o in_o that_o natural_a right_n our_o author_n mention_n which_o possible_o never_o be_v nor_o ever_o will_v be_v define_v in_o all_o the_o particular_n and_o branch_n of_o it_o but_o if_o our_o
