it_o will_v be_v necessary_a in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o detect_v and_o discard_v those_o false_a principle_n of_o government_n and_o obedience_n which_o have_v be_v in_o this_o last_o age_n too_o

and_o if_o we_o find_v such_o principle_n do_v rather_o enslave_v than_o oblige_v our_o conscience_n and_o be_v as_o inconsistent_a with_o truth_n as_o they_o be_v with_o the_o present_a revolution_n we_o must_v take_v the_o honest_a courage_n to_o break_v off_o those_o band_n and_o assert_v our_o liberty_n of_o this_o kind_n be_v chief_o these_o three_o 1._o that_o a_o monarchical_a form_n of_o

such_o a_o divine_a right_o do_v appear_v it_o must_v be_v acknowledge_v in_o disputable_a and_o inviolable_a whatever_o sad_a consequence_n attend_v it_o but_o upon_o examination_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o god_n have_v no_o where_o institute_v such_o a_o right_n but_o some_o man_n have_v with_o too_o bold_a a_o fraud_n make_v use_v of_o his_o name_n to_o advance_v and_o support_v their_o unreasonable_a pretension_n if_o by_o such_o a_o divine_a right_n no_o more_o be_v intend_v than_o god_n permission_n and_o allowance_n it_o will_v have_v no_o opponent_n for_o we_o know_v of_o no_o

so_o interpret_v will_v not_o be_v sufficient_a to_o render_v a_o alteration_n in_o the_o government_n or_o succession_n a_o sin_n against_o god_n as_o the_o assertor_n of_o this_o notion_n have_v
