A36485	Downes, Theophilus, d. 1726.	A discourse concerning the signification of allegiance, as it is to be understood in the new oath of allegiance	1689.0		.xml	application/xml	18470	589	57	] Such is the nature of that Allegiance in general , which is universally due from all the Subjects ; and this is next to be considered , as it is stil'd Legal Ligeanc 〈…〉 ; and this doth not import , as the Word seems to intimate , an Allegiance bounded and circumscribed by Law ; but it is therefore so called , because the Law requires it of every Subject upon Oath , and has prescribed the Form and manner of it . So that by True and Faithful Obedience in this Definition , must be understood all those positive Duties of Fidelity and Obedience which every Subject owes his Sovereign by virtue of his Allegiance : And what those are , may be clearly understood from the known Laws of the Land , which do plainly intimate and inform us to what Duties true Allegiance does bind us .	cache/A36485.xml	txt/A36485.txt
