Sect. VI.
Now the Doctor comes to the application of all in these two fast Sections, in which I intend not to trace him into all that he says. The application of all being left unto what men see and know experimentally; yet something I must say unto these Sections. In this sixth he tells us that we do not walk up unto our own• principles, which are as (he saith) that our resistance must be omnibus ordin but regni consentientibus: that is (as he translates it) agreed upon and undertaken ⟨p. 55⟩by the general and unanimous consent of the whole States.
