the_o umbrage_n of_o nonresistance_n fall_v very_o heavy_a upon_o this_o innocent_a principle_n and_o upbraid_v the_o notion_n as_o opposite_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n to_o the_o law_n of_o

the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v command_v obedience_n to_o authority_n without_o exception_n and_o forbid_v resistance_n of_o the_o supreme_a power_n under_o severe_a penalty_n but_o it_o seem_v very_o

adversary_n can_v prove_v this_o general_n prohibition_n be_v extend_v in_o the_o design_n of_o the_o lawgiver_n to_o all_o case_n of_o apparent_a and_o extreme_a necessity_n such_o as_o we_o be_v under_o the_o late_a reign_n which_o i_o be_o assure_v they_o can_v do_v they_o say_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o we_o urge_v it_o no_o far_o and_o equal_o abhor_v it_o when_o it_o exceed_v those_o case_n as_o a_o doctrine_n inconsistent_a with_o christianity_n but_o yet_o we_o say_v also_o that_o nonresistance_n be_v not_o always_o oblige_v as_o affair_n may_v be_v circumstantiate_v general_a precept_n or_o prohibition_n be_v always_o to_o be_v understand_v with_o particular_a exception_n to_o unforeseen_a accident_n and_o make_v what_o be_v forbid_v at_o some_o time_n and_o in_o some_o case_n become_v our_o duty_n in_o other_o therefore_o man_n must_v not_o run_v into_o a_o triumph_n when_o a_o text_n or_o two_o seem_v to_o favour_v their_o opinion_n for_o as_o a_o
