Qui prohibet Congregationes honestas & licitas metu conjurationis, aut rebellionis, sine alia tamen praecedente suspicione.
Qui submittit ubique auscultatores clancularios & delatores, seu speculatores ad colligendum quae de se dicuntur.
Et in summa, qui totis viribus ad statum Reip. & Leges regni sundamentales mutandas vel evertendas, quantum in ipso est, enititur.
Pag. 160. [5. Tamdiu resistendum est, quamdiu durat tyrannus, quousque verbis, facto, dolo, vel arte oppugnat Remp. & pacto inito contraria facit, loquitur, vel agit: adeo ut ejusmodi tyrannum ab officio removere, administration demandata privare, immo etiam si aliter contra vim se defendere non possunt, interficere, & alium in ejus locum substituere possint. See also Balt. Willius Politics pag. 591, 592. more plainly to that purpose. If such as this and Grotius his doctrine of resistance de jure belli, and Mr. George Lawsons a Conformist in his Ecclesiastical Polit. be compared with the Principles which only are asserted in this Account, and held by us Nonconformists, me thinks the accusers of our principles should repent.
