The Government which God ordain'd over the Children of Israel; and that all Magistrates and Governors proceed from the People, by many Examples of Scripture and History, and the Duty of Magistrates from Scripture and Reason. Eleven Emperors, and above fifty Kings deprived for their evil Government. The Rights of the People and Parliament of Britain, to resist and deprive their Kings for evil Government, by King Henry's Charter, and by many Examples.

A large Account of the Revolution; with several Speeches, Declarations and Addresses and the Names and Proceedings of Ten Bishops, and above Sixty Peers, concern'd in the Revolution before King James went out of England. Several Declarations in Queen Elizabeth's Time of the Clergy in Convocation and the Parliament who assisted, and justified the Scotch, French and Dutch, in resisting of their Evil and Destructive Princes. Recommended as proper to be kept in all Families, that their Childrens Children may know the Birth-Right, Liberty and Property belonging to an English-Man. And that they may have a just Notion of Government and of Obedience, according to Scripture, Law and undeniable Reason.
