whether_o we_o be_v real_o in_o the_o right_n or_o in_o the_o wrong_n as_o to_o our_o persuasion_n in_o these_o matter_n we_o must_v not_o act_v against_o they_o because_o we_o must_v not_o act_v against_o our_o conscience_n only_o this_o we_o be_v to_o remember_v that_o it_o extreme_o concern_v we_o right_o to_o inform_v our_o conscience_n in_o these_o matter_n where_o humane_a law_n have_v interpose_v their_o authority_n for_o if_o we_o make_v a_o wrong_a judgement_n of_o thing_n and_o upon_o that_o account_n deny_v our_o obedience_n to_o the_o law_n where_o we_o shall_v have_v give_v it_o though_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o act_v against_o our_o conscience_n as_o i_o say_v nay_o it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a sin_n in_o we_o if_o we_o shall_v yet_o on_o the_o other_o side_n we_o be_v not_o to_o be_v excuse_v for_o disobey_v the_o command_n of_o authority_n where_o we_o may_v lawful_o have_v obey_v they_o unless_o it_o shall_v prove_v that_o it_o be_v through_o no_o fault_n of_o we_o that_o our_o judgement_n be_v misinform_v and_o thus_o much_o concern_v my_o first_o head_n that_o of_o obedience_n to_o law_n i_o now_o come_v to_o the_o other_o that_o of_o subjection_n as_o that_o word_n imply_v patient_a submission_n to_o our_o governor_n where_o we_o can_v active_o comply_v with_o what_o they_o require_v of_o we_o and_o this_o be_v that_o doctrine_n of_o passive_a obedience_n which_o of_o late_o have_v have_v so_o ill_a a_o sound_n among_o many_o of_o we_o but_o i_o dare_v say_v for_o no_o other_o reason_n but_o because_o it_o may_v have_v be_v by_o some_o misrepresent_v for_o wherever_o it_o be_v right_o understand_v it_o can_v give_v offence_n to_o none_o but_o to_o such_o as_o be_v real_o disaffect_v to_o the_o government_n and_o do_v desire_v alteration_n that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o submission_n due_a from_o all_o subject_n to_o the_o supreme_a authority_n of_o the_o place_n where_o they_o live_v as_o shall_v tie_v up_o their_o hand_n from_o oppose_v or_o resist_v it_o by_o force_n be_v evident_a from_o the_o very_a nature_n and_o end_n of_o political_a society_n and_o i_o dare_v say_v there_o be_v not_o that_o country_n upon_o earth_n let_v the_o form_n of_o their_o government_n be_v what_o it_o will_v absolute_a monarchy_n legal_a monarchy_n aristocracy_n or_o commonwealth_n where_o this_o be_v not_o a_o part_n of_o the_o constitution_n subject_n must_v obey_v passive_o where_o they_o can_v obey_v active_o otherwise_o the_o government_n will_v be_v precarious_a and_o the_o public_a peace_n at_o the_o mercy_n of_o every_o malcontent_n and_o a_o door_n will_v be_v set_v open_a to_o all_o the_o insurrection_n rebellion_n and_o treason_n in_o the_o world_n nor_o be_v this_o only_a a_o state_n doctrine_n but_o the_o doctrine_n also_o of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o a_o necessary_a indispensable_a one_o too_o as_o sufficient_o appear_v from_o those_o famous_a word_n of_o st._n paul_n rom._n xiii_o 1_o 2._o which_o be_v so_o plain_a that_o they_o need_v no_o comment_n let_v every_o soul_n say_v he_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o high_a power_n for_o there_o be_v no_o power_n but_o of_o god_n and_o the_o power_n that_o be_v be_v ordain_v of_o god_n whosoever_o therefore_o resist_v the_o power_n resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o they_o that_o resist_v shall_v receive_v to_o themselves_o damnation_n so_o that_o so_o long_o as_o this_o text_n stand_v in_o our_o bibles_n the_o doctrine_n of_o nonresistance_n or_o passive_a obedience_n must_v be_v of_o obligation_n to_o all_o christian_n but_o then_o after_o i_o have_v say_v this_o care_n must_v be_v take_v that_o this_o general_a doctrine_n be_v not_o misapply_v in_o particular_a country_n though_o nonresistance_n or_o passive_a obedience_n be_v a_o duty_n to_o all_o subject_n and_o under_o all_o government_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o express_v the_o same_o way_n in_o all_o place_n but_o both_o the_o object_n and_o the_o instance_n of_o it_o do_v vary_v in_o different_a nation_n according_a to_o the_o different_a model_n of_o their_o government_n to_o speak_v this_o as_o plain_o as_o i_o can_v as_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n be_v the_o measure_n of_o our_o active_a obedience_n so_o be_v also_o the_o same_o law_n the_o measure_n of_o our_o submission_n and_o as_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o obey_v but_o where_o the_o law_n and_o constitution_n require_v our_o obedience_n so_o neither_o be_v we_o bind_v to_o submit_v but_o as_o the_o law_n and_o constitution_n do_v require_v our_o submission_n take_v now_o this_o to_o be_v the_o true_a state_v of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o passive_a obedience_n as_o i_o very_o believe_v it_o be_v i_o do_v not_o see_v what_o colour_n of_o reason_n can_v be_v offer_v against_o it_o sure_o i_o be_o the_o common_a pretence_n that_o it_o tend_v to_o introduce_v tyranny_n and_o arbitrary_a government_n and_o to_o make_v people_n slave_n be_v quite_o out_o of_o door_n for_o you_o see_v it_o make_v no_o prince_n absolute_a where_o by_o the_o constitution_n they_o be_v not_o so_o before_o nor_o do_v it_o destroy_v any_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_n that_o they_o be_v before_o in_o possession_n of_o all_o that_o it_o do_v be_v to_o preserve_v and_o secure_v the_o national_a settlement_n in_o the_o same_o posture_n and_o upon_o the_o same_o foot_n in_o and_o upon_o which_o it_o be_v already_o establish_v and_o this_o be_v so_o true_a that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o commonwealth_n in_o the_o world_n so_o free_a but_o that_o these_o doctrine_n of_o nonresistance_n and_o passive_a obedience_n must_v for_o ever_o be_v teach_v there_o as_o necessary_a even_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o their_o liberty_n as_o for_o what_o this_o doctrine_n import_v among_o we_o and_o in_o our_o constitution_n or_o how_o far_o it_o be_v to_o be_v extend_v or_o limit_v it_o belong_v not_o to_o i_o to_o determine_v but_o thus_o much_o the_o occasion_n of_o this_o day_n be_v meeting_n will_v not_o only_o warrant_v i_o but_o oblige_v i_o to_o say_v upon_o this_o head_n and_o it_o be_v all_o the_o application_n i_o shall_v now_o make_v namely_o that_o by_o all_o the_o law_n of_o this_o land_n the_o person_n of_o the_o king_n be_v sacred_a and_o inviolable_a and_o that_o to_o attempt_v his_o life_n in_o any_o way_n or_o upon_o any_o pretence_n always_o be_v and_o be_v high_a treason_n and_o if_o so_o what_o be_v we_o to_o think_v of_o that_o fact_n which_o be_v on_o this_o day_n commit_v upon_o the_o person_n of_o our_o late_a sovereign_n of_o bless_a memory_n king_n charles_n i._o take_v it_o with_o all_o its_o circumstance_n why_o certain_o how_o slight_a soever_o some_o people_n among_o we_o may_v make_v of_o it_o it_o be_v a_o most_o barbarous_a murder_n a_o violation_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o man_n a_o scandal_n to_o the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o a_o reproach_n to_o the_o people_n of_o england_n whilst_o the_o impious_a rage_n of_o a_o few_o stand_v impute_v by_o our_o adversary_n to_o the_o whole_a nation_n all_o this_o i_o may_v say_v of_o this_o fact_n for_o it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o be_v say_v of_o it_o by_o the_o lord_n and_o commons_o of_o england_n in_o that_o act_n of_o parliament_n which_o appoint_v the_o keep_n of_o this_o day_n as_o a_o perpetual_a fast._n i_o be_o sensible_a how_o uneasy_a some_o be_v at_o the_o mention_v of_o this_o and_o how_o glad_o they_o will_v have_v both_o the_o thing_n and_o the_o memorial_n of_o it_o forget_v among_o we_o i_o must_v confess_v i_o can_v wish_v so_o too_o provide_v we_o be_v sure_a that_o god_n have_v forget_v it_o so_o i_o mean_v forget_v it_o as_o that_o we_o be_v no_o long_o obnoxious_a to_o his_o judgement_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o that_o innocent_a blood_n and_o provide_v likewise_o in_o the_o second_o place_n that_o those_o factious_a republican_n principle_n which_o have_v once_o overturned_a our_o government_n and_o bring_v a_o excellent_a prince_n to_o a_o unhappy_a end_n be_v so_o far_o forget_v among_o we_o as_o that_o there_o be_v no_o danger_n from_o they_o of_o ever_o have_v this_o or_o the_o like_a tragedy_n act_v again_o in_o our_o nation_n but_o so_o long_o as_o we_o have_v apprehension_n from_o either_o of_o these_o thing_n so_o long_o it_o will_v be_v fit_a for_o we_o to_o remember_v this_o fact_n and_o this_o day_n and_o both_o to_o implore_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n that_o neither_o the_o gild_n of_o that_o sacred_a and_o innocent_a blood_n nor_o those_o other_o sin_n by_o which_o god_n be_v provoke_v to_o deliver_v up_o both_o we_o and_o our_o king_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o cruel_a and_o unreasonable_a man_n may_v at_o any_o time_n hereafter_o be_v visit_v upon_o we_o or_o
