he_o shall_v likeways_o in_o my_o opinion_n justify_v their_o depose_n of_o king_n and_o since_o the_o successor_n have_v as_o good_a right_n to_o succeed_v as_o the_o present_a king_n have_v to_o

acknowledge_v that_o they_o belong_v to_o he_o and_o his_o heir_n it_o follow_v clear_o that_o if_o the_o parliament_n can_v preclude_v the_o one_o they_o may_v exclude_v the_o other_o and_o we_o

in_o the_o last_o place_n i_o shall_v answer_v the_o argument_n of_o those_o author_n as_o to_o the_o first_o i_o conceive_v that_o a_o treatise_n de_fw-fr jure_fw-la regni_fw-la apud_fw-la

if_o these_o point_n be_v clear_a by_o our_o positive_a law_n there_o be_v no_o further_a place_n for_o debate_n since_o it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a for_o mankind_n especial_o in_o matter_n of_o

before_o law_n be_v make_v man_n ought_v to_o reason_n but_o after_o they_o be_v make_v they_o ought_v to_o obey_v which_o make_v i_o admire_v how_o buchannan_n and_o the_o other_o author_n that_o i_o

de_fw-fr jure_fw-la regni_fw-la to_o persuade_v scotland_n to_o raise_v his_o patron_n though_o a_o bastard_n to_o the_o crown_n and_o the_o author_n of_o lex_fw-la rex_fw-la ius_n populi_n

it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o these_o statute_n be_v but_o late_o and_o be_v not_o extant_a in_o buchanan_n time_n and_o consequent_o buchanan_n can_v be_v redargue_v by_o they_o 2._o that_o these_o

the_o right_n and_o privilege_n of_o the_o people_n since_o they_o have_v no_o warrant_n from_o they_o for_o that_o effect_n to_o the_o first_o of_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o my_o task_n be_v not_o

that_o king_n can_v be_v resist_v yet_o he_o think_v that_o this_o be_v only_o to_o be_v mean_v of_o those_o king_n who_o have_v no_o superior_n to_o check_v they_o by_o law_n as_o the_o king_n of_o

only_o titular_a king_n or_o of_o such_o monarch_n as_o have_v only_o a_o coordinate_a power_n with_o the_o state_n of_o their_o own_o kingdom_n and_o even_o in_o these_o case_n he_o do_v not_o positive_o assert_v that_o these_o monarch_n may_v be_v resist_v but_o do_v only_o doubt_v whether_o if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o superior_a or_o coordinate_a magistrate_n represent_v the_o people_n they_o may_v not_o restrain_v the_o rage_n and_o licentiousness_n of_o their_o king_n but_o that_o caution_n do_v not_o at_o all_o concern_v the_o ius_n regni_fw-la apud_fw-la scotos_fw-gr because_o this_o can_v be_v say_v of_o the_o king_n of_o great_a britain_n since_o the_o state_n of_o parliament_n be_v only_o call_v by_o the_o king_n and_o derive_v their_o authority_n from_o he_o and_o the_o

according_a to_o calvin_n doctrine_n neither_o his_o people_n nor_o any_o of_o their_o representatives_n can_v just_o oppose_v and_o much_o less_o punish_v he_o i_o know_v that_o grotius_n be_v by_o
