this_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n three_o several_a way_n and_o a_o different_a sort_n of_o behaviour_n be_v require_v from_o subject_n with_o regard_n to_o each_o of_o they_o first_o he_o may_v be_v

of_o man_n conscience_n in_o this_o case_n we_o must_v by_o no_o mean_n obey_v he_o according_a to_o the_o maxim_n lay_v down_o in_o holy_a scripture_n that_o we_o ought_v to_o obey_v god_n rather_o than_o man_n and_o to_o fear_v he_o who_o have_v power_n over_o the_o whole_a man_n more_o than_o he_o who_o have_v power_n over_o one_o part_n of_o the_o man_n only_o and_o that_o the_o less_o and_o more_o inconsiderable_a part_n of_o he_o too_o but_o then_o if_o we_o can_v have_v no_o relief_n by_o law_n or_o justice_n we_o must_v not_o have_v recourse_n to_o violence_n which_o be_v the_o contrary_a extreme_a to_o a_o sinful_a compliance_n but_o keep_v the_o middle_a way_n which_o be_v to_o flee_v or_o to_o suffer_v the_o second_o case_n be_v not_o quite_o so_o bad_a as_o the_o former_a because_o it_o offer_v no_o violence_n to_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n but_o to_o their_o body_n and_o estate_n only_o by_o abuse_v his_o subject_n resuse_v to_o do_v they_o justice_n take_v away_o the_o liberty_n of_o their_o person_n and_o the_o property_n of_o their_o estate_n and_o here_o the_o three_o duty_n mention_v before_o honour_n and_o obedience_n good_a wish_n and_o

of_o a_o unjust_a prince_n for_o there_o be_v three_o consideration_n fit_a to_o be_v attend_v to_o upon_o such_o occasion_n one_o be_v that_o all_o power_n be_v of_o god_n and_o he_o that_o resist_v

of_o a_o whole_a nation_n labour_v under_o unjust_a oppression_n to_o redress_v their_o wrong_n and_o deliver_v they_o from_o the_o heavy_a yoke_n of_o tyranny_n as_o we_o find_v hercules_n in_o his_o
