hypothesis_n be_v oblique_o to_o charge_v the_o present_a power_n in_o england_n as_o usurper_n though_o he_o have_v lay_v the_o scene_n in_o america_n to_o this_o purpose_n he_o spend_v his_o first_o

to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o the_o present_a governor_n as_o if_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o this_o intrusion_n without_o right_a or_o title_n in_o apply_v this_o he_o first_o allege_v that_o the_o right_a and_o title_n to_o government_n be_v in_o a_o king_n lord_n and_o commons_o coordinate_a in_o power_n not_o in_o the_o commons_o alone_o this_o indeed_o be_v true_a till_o the_o king_n as_o i_o show_v before_o lose_v his_o title_n by_o right_n of_o war_n and_o until_o the_o lord_n likewise_o lose_v they_o by_o compliance_n with_o the_o enemy_n and_o invader_n of_o the_o nation_n for_o which_o cause_n they_o themselves_o also_o by_o right_a of_o war_n forfeit_v all_o their_o interest_n and_o privilege_n as_o enemy_n and_o so_o the_o who_o authority_n devolve_v natural_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o commons_o but_o here_o the_o exercitator_n object_n also_o that_o the_o present_a governor_n have_v usurp_v over_o the_o majority_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o in_o that_o they_o be_v thrust_v out_o of_o the_o house_n by_o force_n but_o for_o answer_n since_o by_o the_o equity_n of_o all_o law_n accessary_n be_v punishable_a as_o well_o as_o those_o that_o be_v

more_o he_o have_v how_o that_o a_o call_n from_o the_o people_n be_v necessary_a and_o essential_a to_o a_o human_o constitute_v magistracy_n our_o present_a governor_n ought_v to_o have_v such_o a_o call_n but_o not_o have_v it_o they_o be_v therefore_o conclude_v guilty_a of_o usurpation_n this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o objection_n though_o not_o syllogistical_o decipher_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o if_o only_o a_o call_n from_o the_o people_n constitute_v a_o lawful_a magistracy_n than_o there_o have_v very_o rare_o ever_o be_v any_o lawful_a magistracy_n in_o the_o world_n nor_o among_o we_o long_o before_o and_o since_o the_o conquest_n the_o proof_n of_o this_o may_v be_v confirm_v by_o a_o review_n of_o those_o instance_n set_v down_o before_o in_o the_o second_o chapter_n where_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o all_o the_o world_n over_o most_o prince_n come_v into_o the_o seat_n of_o authority_n not_o only_o without_o a_o call_n but_o absolute_o against_o the_o will_n of_o the_o people_n and_o so_o many_o of_o they_o exercise_v the_o sovereignty_n to_o this_o very_a day_n and_o particular_o here_o in_o england_n most_o of_o our_o own_o king_n reign_v without_o any_o call_n but_o make_v way_n by_o their_o sword_n there_o be_v of_o those_o 25_o prince_n that_o have_v king_v it_o among_o we_o not_o above_o half_a a_o dozen_o that_o come_v to_o the_o crown_n in_o a_o orderly_a succession_n either_o by_o lineal_a or_o collateral_a title_n and_o not_o any_o one_o of_o those_o half_a dozen_o but_o lay_v claim_n to_o it_o by_o virtue_n of_o their_o predecessor_n usurpation_n without_o any_o call_n from_o the_o people_n only_o in_o the_o investiture_n they_o have_v their_o consent_n because_o out_o of_o a_o love_n of_o public_a peace_n none_o will_v or_o out_o of_o fear_n none_o dare_v offer_v to_o question_v their_o title_n now_o if_o the_o former_a part_n of_o this_o objection_n be_v true_a that_o a_o call_n be_v the_o only_a essential_a constitute_v a_o lawful_a government_n than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o as_o all_o the_o world_n so_o we_o and_o our_o ancestor_n have_v live_v and_o pay_v obedience_n for_o the_o most_o part_n under_o a_o unlawful_a magistracy_n which_o sure_o no_o sober_a man_n will_v affirm_v but_o if_o any_o will_v be_v so_o mad_a as_o to_o say_v it_o i_o only_o propound_v to_o he_o this_o sober_a
