of_o the_o monarch_n himself_o 3._o he_o oppose_v forcible_a to_o legal_a when_o it_o shall_v be_v oppose_v only_o to_o mere_a moral_n not_o to_o legal_a as_o before_o now_o let_v we_o weigh_v his_o argument_n first_o such_o a_o power_n must_v be_v in_o they_o by_o reservation_n and_o then_o it_o must_v be_v express_a in_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o government_n and_o covenant_n or_o else_o by_o implication_n i_o will_v answer_v distinct_o concern_v this_o reservation_n of_o power_n of_o forcible_a resistance_n 1._o there_o be_v a_o reservation_n of_o liberty_n or_o power_n of_o not_o be_v subject_a neither_o active_o nor_o passive_o to_o the_o exceed_a act_n of_o the_o monarch_n will_v this_o be_v by_o implication_n for_o what_o they_o do_v not_o resign_v up_o they_o do_v reserve_v 2._o a_o power_n of_o authoritative_n judge_v and_o resist_v the_o monarch_n thus_o exceed_o this_o neither_o express_o nor_o implicit_o be_v reserve_v not_o because_o it_o be_v unlawful_a as_o the_o doctor_n imagine_v but_o contradictory_n to_o the_o very_a institution_n of_o a_o monarchy_n and_o so_o under_o that_o intention_n impossible_a 3._o a_o power_n of_o forcible_a resistance_n of_o subversive_a instrument_n this_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o reserve_v but_o express_o commit_v not_o only_o to_o the_o house_n of_o parliament_n but_o all_o inferior_a

employ_v the_o force_n or_o arm_n of_o the_o county_n or_o whole_a kingdom_n if_o need_v be_v to_o make_v good_a the_o sentence_n of_o the_o law_n against_o they_o this_o power_n be_v a_o necessary_a

by_o which_o he_o prove_v this_o power_n not_o reserve_v by_o implication_n i_o brief_o answer_v 1._o limitation_n can_v infer_v it_o etc._n etc._n answer_v limitation_n in_o exercise_n only_o do_v not_o but_o in_o the_o power_n itself_o do_v infer_v it_o as_o i_o have_v often_o show_v 2._o the_o inconvenience_n of_o exorbitancy_n can_v infer_v it_o answer_v they_o do_v not_o infer_v it_o of_o

3._o the_o consent_n and_o intention_n of_o the_o people_n choose_v a_o monarch_n can_v infer_v it_o because_o it_o be_v not_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o power_n itself_o answer_v i_o have_v before_o

in_o procure_v limitation_n of_o power_n can_v infer_v it_o answer_v if_o the_o people_n intention_n in_o it_o be_v a_o great_a security_n from_o oppression_n then_o in_o a_o absolute_a government_n they_o can_v have_v or_o a_o mere_a moral_a limitation_n can_v give_v they_o than_o it_o do_v infer_v it_o 5._o if_o the_o architect_n do_v intend_v such_o a_o forceable_a power_n to_o these_o state_n
