The Ground of the First Part.
THat whensoever the Land is brought in∣to a State of Anarchy by any Confusi∣ons irremediable by the ordinary Rules of Law, thro' the King's Incapacity to govern it, upon Departure, Oppression, or otherwise, the Estates of this Nation may admit such a Form of Settle∣ment for the time being, as the Exigences of Affairs shall seem to require for the common Preservation; and that such Settlement shall oblige the Conscience of the Subject, till the old ordinary Rules can be fairly recovered.
The Ground of the Second Part.
1. THat tho' secular Laws for spiritual Cen∣sures cannot pass into an Ecclesiastical Effect without the Consent, and Executive Con∣currence of the Church, yet the Conscience of the Church is bound to admit such Laws upon just, and necessary Causes.
2. That Recusancy to civil Constitutions is a just Cause of spiritual Censures, and of Laws requiring them.
