 11 7      |           law to such a degree, as may hinder its violation: for

189 207    |        life not being in danger, I may have the benefit of appealing

192 212    |          be out of subjection, and may constitute to themselves
193 219    |          whereby such a government may be dissolved, and that is:
194 220    |           any. To tell people they may provide for themselves,
195 220    |            only to tell them, they may expect relief when it is
196 220    |            are on, tell them, they may act like freemen. This,
197 222    |        legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules
198 223    |          to subsist, if the people may set up a new legislative,
199 225    |         rule into such hands which may secure to them the ends

201 228    |       liberties or properties, and may oppose the unlawful violence

203 228    |            ground, that honest men may not oppose robbers or pirates,

206 230    |   government. It is true, such men may stir, whenever they please;
207 231    |          properties of any people, may be resisted with force,
208 231    | magistrates, doing the same thing, may be resisted, hath of late
209 232    |         doctrine, that, since they may in some cases resist, all
210 233    |          attack their prince: they may repair the damages received,
211 233    |        reverence and respect. They may repulse the present attempt,
212 233    |          designed them, the people may prevent before it be done;
213 233    |         but the body of the people may with respect resist intolerable
214 235    |    imaginary resistance, where men may not strike again. He therefore
215 235    |            again. He therefore who may resist, must be allowed
216 235    |     reconcile blows and reverence, may, for aught I know, desire
217 235    |          two cases, whereby a king may un-king himself. His words
218 237    |          happen wherein the people may of right, and by their own

221 239    |           there he is no king, and may be resisted: for wheresoever
222 239    |          us. This farther I desire may be taken notice of out of

224 239    |          acknowledge, that princes may forfeit their power, and
225 239    |         the broaching of it; so it may be hoped, those to come,
