The seventh Objection.
If the King break the trust reposed in him by his Subjects, then his Subjects may lawfully take up Arms against him: but by idolatry and oppression, the King breaks the trust reposed in him by his Subjects. Therefore for Idolatry and Oppression his Subjects may lawfully take up Arms against him.
