but_o now_o i_o will_v advance_v the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n a_o little_a further_o beyond_o that_o of_o a_o bare_a possession_n into_o that_o of_o a_o title_n declare_v by_o those_o who_o only_o can_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v the_o proper_a judge_n of_o it_o and_o in_o order_n to_o the_o open_v this_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o there_o be_v this_o difference_n between_o all_o speculative_a point_n of_o opinion_n and_o all_o question_n that_o relate_v to_o matter_n of_o fact_n that_o in_o the_o former_a every_o man_n must_v still_o think_v according_a to_o the_o

fact_n if_o a_o man_n belong_v to_o any_o body_n that_o make_v any_o decision_n relate_v to_o they_o he_o must_v agree_v to_o it_o and_o acquiesce_v in_o it_o though_o he_o think_v it_o wrong_n a_o member_n of_o any_o court_n of_o justice_n in_o which_o a_o unjust_a decree_n be_v past_a though_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o oppose_v it_o while_o it_o be_v in_o agitation_n yet_o when_o it_o be_v past_a he_o himself_o not_o only_a acquiesce_n in_o it_o but_o must_v afterward_o issue_v out_o such_o order_n as_o be_v consequent_a to_o that_o decree_n as_o ready_o as_o if_o he_o himself_o have_v concur_v in_o the_o make_n of_o it_o that_o this_o be_v a_o certain_a truth_n there_o need_v no_o other_o proof_n but_o this_o that_o it_o be_v simple_o and_o indispensible_o necessary_a to_o the_o preserve_v the_o peace_n of_o mankind_n and_o to_o the_o keep_n of_o all_o society_n in_o union_n and_o order_n and_o every_o maxim_n that_o be_v of_o such_o absolute_a necessity_n to_o mankind_n must_v be_v true_a now_o with_o relation_n to_o the_o subject_n now_o under_o consideration_n there_o be_v two_o question_n which_o may_v be_v make_v the_o first_o be_v a_o point_n of_o speculation_n how_o far_o subject_n be_v bind_v to_o obey_v or_o submit_v to_o the_o supreme_a power_n and_o whether_o they_o may_v resist_v they_o in_o any_o case_n and_o more_o particular_o if_o that_o may_v be_v do_v on_o the_o account_n of_o religion_n and_o as_o to_o this_o there_o be_v no_o debate_n at_o present_a so_o that_o all_o man_n may_v retain_v their_o former_a opinion_n but_o the_o second_o relate_v to_o the_o history_n and_o policy_n of_o england_n whether_o the_o king_n derive_v his_o power_n from_o god_n and_o so_o be_v accountable_a only_o to_o he_o or_o if_o he_o hold_v it_o by_o a_o original_a contract_n with_o his_o people_n so_o that_o upon_o his_o break_n it_o they_o likewise_o may_v be_v acquit_v from_o all_o obligation_n to_o he_o this_o depend_v on_o our_o law_n record_n and_o history_n and_o the_o resolution_n of_o it_o can_v only_o be_v take_v from_o they_o so_o these_o be_v all_o matter_n of_o fact_n whatsoever_o decision_n be_v make_v by_o those_o who_o be_v the_o only_a competent_a judge_n it_o must_v oblige_v all_o person_n not_o except_v even_o those_o who_o be_v of_o that_o body_n oppose_v it_o while_o it_o be_v a_o make_n therefore_o all_o english_a man_n be_v bind_v to_o act_v according_a to_o that_o judgement_n and_o by_o consequence_n of_o swear_v that_o they_o will_v do_v it_o and_o therefore_o no_o private_a person_n ought_v to_o let_v his_o particular_a notion_n of_o our_o government_n determine_v he_o but_o be_v bind_v to_o resign_v they_o up_o to_o the_o decision_n that_o have_v be_v so_o public_o make_v in_o it_o here_o it_o be_v a_o easy_a thing_n to_o urge_v all_o those_o topic_n which_o have_v be_v make_v use_n of_o with_o relation_n to_o the_o dissenter_n who_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o government_n have_v set_v up_o their_o own_o doubt_n and_o scruple_n in_o opposition_n to_o law_n and_o establish_a rule_n but_o this_o argument_n may_v seem_v invidious_a and_o therefore_o i_o will_v not_o insist_v upon_o it_o 11._o but_o i_o will_v in_o the_o last_o place_n carry_v this_o matter_n further_o to_o justify_v the_o present_a settlement_n as_o a_o thing_n right_a and_o lawful_a in_o itself_o and_o in_o order_n to_o the_o state_v this_o aright_o this_o must_v be_v acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v few_o of_o those_o though_o some_o seem_v now_o to_o be_v in_o some_o doubt_n concern_v this_o matter_n who_o do_v not_o think_v that_o the_o king_n when_o he_o be_v prince_n of_o orange_n have_v a_o just_a cause_n of_o war_n when_o he_o first_o undertake_v this_o business_n for_o even_o at_o common-law_n a_o heir_n in_o remainder_n have_v just_a cause_n to_o sue_v he_o that_o be_v in_o possession_n if_o he_o make_v waste_n on_o the_o inheritance_n which_o be_v he_o in_o reversion_n it_o be_v much_o more_o reasonable_a since_o the_o thing_n be_v much_o more_o important_a that_o the_o heir_n of_o a_o crown_n shall_v interpose_v when_o he_o see_v he_o that_o be_v in_o possession_n hurry_v on_o blindfold_a to_o subject_v a_o independent_a kingdom_n to_o a_o foreign_a jurisdiction_n and_o thereby_o to_o rob_v it_o both_o of_o its_o glory_n and_o of_o its_o security_n and_o when_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o this_o must_v occasion_v the_o great_a ruin_n and_o misery_n possible_a to_o that_o kingdom_n and_o when_o a_o pretend_a heir_n be_v set_v up_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n that_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n believe_v he_o spurious_a in_o such_o a_o case_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v even_o according_a to_o the_o high_a principle_n of_o passive_a obedience_n that_o another_o
