good_a as_o a_o engine_n fit_v in_o his_o phrase_n to_o overturn_v any_o government_n and_o that_o whilst_o they_o pretend_v to_o plead_v for_o law_n set_v up_o a_o mere_a arbitrary_a power_n the_o three_o instance_n in_o the_o discourse_n of_o the_o relation_n of_o mankind_n one_o to_o another_o be_v that_o of_o master_n and_o servant_n victor_n and_o captive_n in_o which_o the_o author_n prove_v there_o be_v a_o regard_n have_v to_o the_o benefit_n of_o those_o who_o be_v in_o subjection_n here_o our_o author_n interpose_v i_o know_v not_o say_v he_o to_o what_o purpose_n he_o so_o labour_v to_o prove_v that_o a_o natural_a equity_n or_o common_a right_n be_v due_a to_o subject_n yea_o even_o to_o slave_n for_o whoever_o thought_n that_o be_v under_o government_n metamorphose_v we_o into_o beast_n or_o worse_o it_o be_v the_o first_o time_n though_o there_o be_v reason_n enough_o for_o it_o before_o that_o this_o author_n confess_v his_o ignorance_n and_o it_o be_v pity_n he_o shall_v be_v send_v away_o uninform_v 1._o it_o be_v necessary_a because_o though_o be_v under_o government_n right_o so_o call_v do_v not_o metamorphose_v we_o into_o beast_n yet_o mere_a absolute_a power_n come_v very_o near_o it_o 2._o it_o be_v to_o the_o purpose_n because_o the_o author_n of_o the_o discourse_n have_v undertake_v to_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v no_o relation_n of_o mankind_n one_o to_o another_o but_o there_o be_v some_o good_a antecedent_n which_o be_v the_o just_a measure_n of_o that_o obligation_n they_o stand_v in_o to_o each_o other_o thus_o it_o be_v say_v he_o between_o parent_n and_o child_n master_n and_o servant_n oh_o but_o say_v our_o author_n he_o shall_v have_v prove_v that_o because_o the_o subject_n have_v a_o common_a right_n therefore_o he_o can_v receive_v no_o wrong_n that_o be_v he_o shall_v have_v prove_v nonsense_n and_o inconsistency_n or_o as_o he_o go_v on_o if_o be_v do_v receive_v wrong_v or_o apprehend_v he_o shall_v than_o he_o may_v cry_v out_o the_o public_a good_a and_o raise_v rebellion_n and_o overturn_v any_o government_n that_o be_v because_o he_o have_v receive_v a_o private_a injury_n in_o which_o the_o public_a be_v not_o concern_v he_o may_v cry_v out_o the_o public_a good_a it_o be_v well_o he_o before_o tell_v we_o the_o public_a good_a be_v a_o personal_a good_a or_o else_o i_o shall_v have_v fill_v this_o up_o for_o a_o new_a blunder_n the_o 4_o the_o relation_n mention_v in_o the_o discourse_n be_v that_o between_o prince_n and_o their_o subject_n where_o the_o author_n prove_v that_o the_o good_a of_o the_o whole_a be_v the_o just_a measure_n of_o the_o obligation_n they_o stand_v in_o to_o each_o other_o 1._o from_o what_o the_o strict_a casuist_n have_v allow_v under_o a_o state_n of_o usurpation_n 2._o from_o the_o nature_n of_o political_a oath_n which_o be_v reciprocal_a as_o to_o the_o first_o of_o these_o 1._o in_o the_o forego_n paragraph_v our_o author_n will_v needs_o have_v his_o adversary_n to_o have_v borrow_v the_o worst_a of_o mr._n hobbs_n '_o s_z principle_n to_o patch_v up_o his_o discourse_n though_o he_o confute_v he_o and_o here_o he_o will_v have_v he_o displease_v with_o the_o casuist_n though_o they_o agree_v with_o he_o in_o the_o main_a point_n about_o public_a good_a as_o he_o there_o recite_v their_o opinion_n it_o be_v not_o deny_v say_v he_o by_o the_o strict_a casuist_n in_o these_o matter_n but_o that_o under_o a_o state_n of_o usurpation_n notwithstanding_o their_o oath_n to_o a_o rightful_a prince_n man_n be_v bind_v to_o do_v those_o thing_n which_o tend_v to_o the_o public_a safety_n as_o well_o as_o their_o own_o now_o what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o prove_v as_o far_o as_o that_o author_n intend_v it_o for_o that_o the_o public_a good_a be_v the_o measure_n of_o the_o obligation_n because_o the_o strict_a casuist_n in_o those_o matter_n do_v not_o deny_v etc._n etc._n but_o however_o our_o author_n will_v have_v it_o so_o that_o they_o have_v displease_v he_o and_o he_o give_v a_o very_a surprise_v reason_n for_o it_o for_o thus_o he_o go_v on_o in_o another_o paragraph_n he_o the_o author_n of_o the_o discourse_n discover_v the_o reason_n of_o his_o displeasure_n to_o be_v this_o that_o they_o have_v not_o allow_v they_o to_o do_v every_o thing_n in_o a_o state_n of_o usurpation_n which_o they_o may_v do_v under_o their_o lawful_a sovereign_n if_o i_o have_v never_o read_v more_o than_o two_o page_n of_o the_o discourse_n i_o dare_v have_v adventure_v as_o much_o as_o our_o author_n will_v have_v lay_v sometime_o since_o that_o king_n william_n will_v never_o pass_v the_o boyn_n that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o paragraph_n and_o no_o such_o reason_n in_o the_o whole_a book_n and_o i_o dare_v now_o vouch_v after_o i_o have_v read_v it_o that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o any_o such_o paragraph_n than_o that_o king_n william_n be_v still_o on_o the_o other_o side_n of_o the_o boyn_n or_o die_v of_o the_o wound_n he_o receive_v there_o but_o since_o the_o casuist_n will_v not_o be_v of_o his_o mind_n that_o author_n will_v it_o seem_v be_v even_o with_o they_o for_o if_o our_o author_n be_v to_o be_v credit_v he_o roundly_o condem_n they_o all_o for_o sound_v it_o on_o the_o presumptive_a consent_n of_o the_o absent_a prince_n but_o it_o be_v his_o own_o mistake_n for_o quite_o contrary_a they_o find_v the_o presumptive_a consent_n of_o the_o absent_a prince_n upon_o the_o public_a good_n after_o all_o it_o seem_v by_o his_o own_o confession_n that_o the_o casuist_n and_o his_o adversary_n agree_v that_o under_o a_o state_n of_o usurpation_n man_n be_v bind_v to_o do_v those_o thing_n which_o tend_v to_o the_o public_a safety_n but_o they_o disagree_v about_o the_o reason_n it_o be_v found_v upon_o for_o say_v the_o discourse_n the_o casuist_n find_v it_o that_o be_v the_o obligation_n man_n be_v under_o in_o that_o state_n to_o do_v what_o be_v for_o the_o public_a safety_n upon_o a_o presumptive_a consent_n of_o the_o absent_a prince_n but_o that_o be_v his_o own_o mistabe_n say_v our_o author_n for_o quite_o contrary_a they_o find_v the_o presumptive_a consent_n of_o the_o absent_a prince_n upon_o the_o public_a good_n what_o a_o penance_n have_v i_o to_o undergo_v that_o must_v teach_v a_o man_n his_o a_o b_o c_o and_o that_o put_v c_z for_o a_o and_o b_o for_o c_o for_o it_o be_v no_o better_o with_o he_o here_o we_o be_v now_o not_o inquire_v upon_o what_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o absent_a prince_n be_v found_v but_o upon_o what_o the_o casuist_n find_v their_o opinion_n of_o the_o obligation_n that_o lie_v on_o mankind_n to_o do_v what_o tend_v to_o the_o public_a good_a under_o a_o usurpation_n the_o former_a indeed_o the_o casuist_n find_v upon_o the_o public_a good_a but_o the_o latter_a they_o find_v upon_o the_o presumptive_a consent_n of_o the_o prince_n as_o be_v evident_a from_o what_o he_o himself_o quote_v out_o of_o bishop_n sanderson_n the_o case_n than_o be_v that_o those_o casuist_n find_v their_o opinion_n of_o do_v what_o tend_v to_o the_o public_a safety_n under_o a_o usurpation_n immediate_o on_o the_o absent_a prince_n consent_n and_o remote_o by_o he_o and_o for_o his_o sake_n on_o the_o public_a good_n but_o now_o the_o author_n of_o the_o discourse_n think_v this_o to_o be_v a_o mistake_n for_o say_v he_o the_o true_a reason_n be_v that_o man_n be_v in_o the_o first_o place_n bind_v to_o promote_v the_o public_a good_a and_o consequential_o and_o with_o respect_n to_o it_o to_o regard_v the_o will_n of_o their_o prince_n who_o be_v appoint_v by_o god_n and_o nature_n for_o that_o end_n and_o if_o such_o be_v render_v uncapable_a of_o do_v it_o yet_o the_o obligation_n on_o other_o remain_v 2._o the_o discourse_n prove_v that_o the_o public_a good_a be_v the_o true_a and_o just_a measure_n of_o the_o obligation_n of_o political_a oath_n in_o that_o the_o oath_n be_v reciprocal_a whereas_o if_o only_o the_o good_a of_o the_o person_n to_o who_o the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n be_v make_v be_v to_o be_v our_o rule_n there_o will_v be_v no_o mutual_a oath_n this_o that_o author_n prove_v from_o the_o word_n allegiance_n which_o original_o signify_v a_o contract_n and_o from_o glanvil_n and_o bracton_n etc._n etc._n now_o this_o be_v a_o noble_a subject_n for_o our_o author_n to_o have_v try_v his_o skill_n upon_o but_o as_o if_o he_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o clinias_n upon_o he_o he_o shut_v his_o eye_n and_o run_v backward_o from_o the_o naked_a weapon_n as_o far_o as_o he_o can_v at_o last_o he_o be_v to_o be_v find_v three_o page_n behind_o call_v upon_o no_o less_o than_o two_o of_o the_o holy_a apostle_n to_o defend_v he_o p._n 12._o for_o thus_o he_o say_v to_o secure_v the_o law_n
