Extended title: The letter which was sent to the author of the doctrine of passive obedience and jure divino disproved &c. answered and refuted : wherein is proved ... that monarchy was not originally from God. That kings are not by divine appointment, but that all government proceeds from the people, ... The the obedience required in Scripture, is to the laws of the land, ... That resisting of arbitary power is lawful. That it is the duty of every man to defend himself from any man who shall endeavour to take away his life contrary to law. That all oaths have a tacit meaning, though not specified. That the oath of allegiance to the late King James was dissolved before the Prince of Orange ... landed. That upon the non-performance of an oath on one side, the other becomes void, ... That protection is the only cause of allegiance, and that obedience of allegiance is due to the present government is proved from Scripture, law and reason; ... By a true son of the Church of England
