must_v confess_v i_o be_o somewhat_o stagger_v with_o those_o reason_n and_o argument_n you_o have_v now_o give_v i_o against_o those_o principle_n which_o as_o i_o have_v always_o and_o must_v still_o esteem_v as_o sacred_a till_o i_o be_o convince_v i_o be_o in_o a_o error_n and_o perhaps_o if_o i_o be_v to_o consult_v my_o own_o 〈◊〉_d reason_n and_o natural_a inclination_n i_o shall_v come_v over_o to_o your_o opinion_n but_o since_o it_o have_v please_v god_n to_o lay_v much_o high_a restraint_n and_o strict_a rule_n of_o obedience_n and_o subjection_n on_o we_o by_o his_o reveal_v will_v in_o the_o scripture_n beyond_o what_o can_v be_v discover_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o that_o under_o the_o high_a penalty_n viz._n damnation_n i_o can_v see_v no_o reason_n why_o god_n almighty_a may_v not_o grant_v eternal_a life_n upon_o what_o condition_n he_o please_v though_o never_o so_o hard_a and_o uneasy_a for_o flesh_n and_o blood_n to_o perform_v so_o that_o if_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n have_v command_v we_o to_o take_v up_o his_o cross_n and_o follow_v he_o that_o be_v to_o suffer_v all_o sort_n of_o injury_n and_o affliction_n nay_o death_n itself_o as_o he_o himself_o do_v rather_o than_o to_o resist_v the_o supreme_a power_n under_o which_o he_o live_v i_o can_v see_v any_o reason_n why_o he_o shall_v not_o propose_v his_o own_o example_n for_o our_o imitation_n and_o as_o he_o have_v enjoin_v and_o expect_v from_o we_o great_a degree_n of_o chastity_n charity_n and_o humility_n than_o ever_o he_o do_v from_o the_o jew_n or_o pagan_n so_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o he_o may_v not_o likewise_o exact_a from_o we_o a_o great_a and_o more_o perfect_a obedience_n and_o submission_n without_o any_o resistance_n to_o all_o sovereign_a prince_n and_o state_n than_o ever_o he_o do_v either_o by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n or_o that_o of_o nature_n not_o but_o that_o there_o be_v sufficient_a proof_n in_o the_o

the_o example_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o the_o precept_n of_o his_o apostle_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n as_o also_o from_o the_o example_n of_o the_o primitive_a christian_n in_o obedience_n thereunto_o f._n i_o perceive_v you_o begin_v to_o distrust_v your_o argument_n draw_v from_o natural_a reason_n and_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o when_o you_o be_v press_v with_o the_o absurdity_n of_o this_o doctrine_n of_o you_o you_o fly_v from_o god_n natural_a to_o he_o reveal_v will_n and_o take_v refuge_n under_o the_o covert_a of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o impose_v a_o

present_a to_o tell_v you_o that_o i_o think_v i_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o prove_v that_o the_o passive_a obedience_n as_o you_o call_v it_o of_o the_o primitive_a christian_n and_o their_o suffering_n for_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n will_n not_o at_o all_o contradict_v that_o natural_a right_n which_o i_o suppose_v all_o freeman_n to_o have_v as_o well_o under_o civil_a government_n as_o in_o the_o state_n of_o nature_n for_o the_o defence_n of_o their_o life_n liberty_n and_o property_n unless_o where_o the_o common_a good_a and_o peace_n of_o the_o whole_a or_o major_a part_n of_o the_o people_n require_v the_o contrary_n and_o therefore_o the_o same_o reason_n which_o oblige_v particular_a private_a person_n to_o be_v quiet_a and_o not_o to_o disturb_v the_o public_a peace_n of_o the_o whole_a society_n for_o their_o own_o private_a safety_n and_o advantage_n when_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o people_n or_o the_o major_a part_n of_o they_o be_v thus_o violent_o assault_v in_o their_o life_n liberty_n and_o estate_n the_o same_o consideration_n of_o the_o public_a good_a of_o their_o country_n whereof_o every_o man_n be_v a_o member_n do_v then_o as_o strong_o persuade_v i_o may_v say_v enjoin_v they_o to_o take_v up_o arm_n and_o defend_v themselves_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o whole_a people_n or_o community_n who_o natural_a and_o civil_a right_n be_v now_o attack_v can_v no_o otherwise_o be_v restore_v to_o the_o same_o state_n they_o be_v in_o before_o but_o by_o that_o last_o remedy_n that_o can_v be_v use_v in_o this_o case_n viz._n kim_n vi_fw-la ●topellere_fw-la m._n i_o confess_v that_o of_o all_o commonwealth-hypotheses_a you_o be_v most_o reasonable_a be_v coherent_a with_o itself_o and_o also_o most_o likely_a to_o be_v swallow_v by_o the_o people_n because_o it_o flatter_v our_o corrupt_a nature_n to_o which_o this_o christian_a doctrine_n of_o passive_a obedience_n be_v so_o direct_o opposite_a as_o also_o because_o it_o give_v they_o a_o full_a liberty_n i_o mean_v not_o only_o the_o representative_a body_n but_o the_o major_a part_n of_o they_o to_o reassume_v that_o power_n which_o you_o pretend_v they_o never_o part_v with_o and_o so_o consequent_o all_o necessity_n of_o suffer_v except_o when_o they_o please_v to_o think_v they_o have_v just_o deserve_v it_o be_v take_v away_o and_o the_o suffering_n of_o the_o primitive_a christian_n will_v be_v render_v only_o a_o tame_a madness_n and_o that_o st._n paul_n be_v very_o much_o oversee_v to_o enjoin_v this_o subjection_n to_o the_o roman_n under_o the_o government_n of_o one_o of_o the_o most_o cruel_a tyrant_n that_o ever_o sway_v that_o sceptre_n but_o we_o have_v not_o so_o learned_a christ_n and_o therefore_o i_o be_o firm_o persuade_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v strict_o obedient_a without_o any_o resistance_n to_o those_o civil_a governor_n that_o god_n have_v be_v please_v to_o set_v over_o we_o let_v they_o

inclination_n to_o my_o principle_n be_v it_o not_o for_o some_o text_n of_o scripture_n and_o citation_n out_o of_o the_o father_n and_o church_n history_n which_o give_v you_o a_o prejudice_n against_o they_o which_o i_o hope_v when_o they_o come_v to_o be_v close_o examine_v will_v signify_v no_o more_o than_o the_o former_a but_o for_o the_o dispatch_a this_o important_a controversy_n i_o pray_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o propose_v this_o easy_a method_n first_o that_o you_o will_v be_v please_v to_o lay_v down_o your_o authority_n out_o of_o scripture_n in_o order_n as_o they_o lie_v and_o afterward_o to_o show_v i_o that_o the_o ancient_a father_n and_o primitive_a church_n always_o understand_v those_o text_n in_o the_o same_o sense_n that_o you_o do_v viz._n that_o no_o

with_o those_o proof_n which_o be_v express_o against_o all_o rebellion_n or_o resistance_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n 7._o the_o first_o governor_n that_o god_n set_v over_o the_o child_n of_o

sufficient_o evident_a in_o the_o rebellion_n of_o korah_n dathan_n and_o abiram_n against_o moses_n and_o aaron_n when_o god_n cause_v the_o earth_n to_o open_v her_o mouth_n 16._o and_o swallow_v they_o up_o and_o lest_o this_o shall_v be_v think_v a_o extraordinary_a case_n moses_n and_o aaron_n be_v extraordinary_a person_n immediate_o appoint_v by_o god_n and_o govern_v by_o his_o immediate_a direction_n the_o apostle_n st._n jude_n allege_v this_o example_n against_o those_o in_o his_o day_n who_o be_v turbulent_a and_o factious_a who_o despise_a dominion_n and_o speak_v

moses_n be_v not_o always_o to_o rule_v over_o they_o and_o therefore_o god_n express_o provide_v for_o a_o succession_n of_o sovereign_a power_n to_o which_o they_o must_v all_o submit_v the_o ordinary_a sovereign_a power_n of_o the_o jewish_a nation_n after_o moses_n death_n be_v devolve_v either_o on_o the_o highpriest_n or_o those_o extraordinary_a person_n who_o god_n be_v please_v to_o

his_o people_n 201._o will_v no_o more_o prove_v that_o government_n belong_v to_o adam_n heir_n as_o to_o his_o fatherhood_n than_o god_n choose_v aaron_n of_o the_o tribe_n of_o levi_n to_o be_v priest_n will_v prove_v that_o the_o priesthood_n belong_v to_o adam_n heir_n or_o the_o prime_a father_n since_o god_n can_v choose_v aaron_n to_o be_v priest_n and_o moses_n ruler_n over_o israel_n though_o neither_o of_o those_o office_n be_v settle_v on_o adam_n heir_n or_o the_o first_o patriarch_n so_o likewise_o for_o what_o you_o say_v concern_v god_n raise_v up_o the_o judge_n to_o

the_o ancient_a prime_n right_o of_o lineal_a succession_n 〈◊〉_d paternal_a government_n this_o i_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n understand_v for_o if_o by_o li●●●l_a succession_n you_o mean_v to_o adam_n

with_o by_o god_n be_v the_o same_o power_n which_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n enjoy_v before_o for_o if_o you_o please_v to_o consider_v it_o your_o hypothesis_n consist_v of_o two_o proposition_n the_o first_o be_v that_o all_o paternal_a power_n be_v the_o same_o with_o regal_a power_n which_o if_o it_o be_v prove_v not_o to_o be_v true_a the_o other_o convertible_a

any_o true_a than_o the_o rest_n that_o whensoever_o god_n make_v choice_n of_o any_o person_n to_o be_v king_n he_o intend_v that_o the_o issue_n i_o suppose_v you_o mean_v his_o issue_n shall_v have_v the_o benefit_n thereof_o for_o either_o moses_n and_o joshua_n and_o the_o judge_n be_v no_o king_n though_o you_o have_v assert_v the_o former_a to_o be_v so_o or_o else_o they_o have_v not_o the_o benefit_n of_o this_o grant_n but_o certain_o saul_n be_v a_o king_n and_o yet_o his_o issue_n never_o succeed_v but_o you_o speak_v very_o wary_o to_o suppose_v this_o grant_n to_o be_v make_v to_o the_o issue_n in_o general_n without_o specify_v in_o particular_a who_o shall_v enjoy_v it_o because_o i_o suppose_v you_o be_v sensible_a that_o solomon_n who_o god_n express_o appoint_v to_o

of_o their_o people_n since_o experience_n show_v the_o contrary_a it_o be_v true_a 8._o all_o king_n be_v not_o the_o natural_a parent_n of_o their_o subject_n yet_o they_o all_o either_o be_v or_o be_v to_o be_v repute_v the_o next_o heir_n to_o those_o first_o progenitor_n who_o be_v at_o first_o the_o natural_a parent_n of_o the_o whole_a people_n and_o in_o their_o right_n succeed_v to_o the_o exercise_n of_o supreme_a jurisdiction_n and_o such_o heir_n be_v not_o only_a lord_n of_o their_o own_o child_n but_o also_o of_o their_o brethren_n and_o all_o other_o that_o be_v subject_a to_o their_o father_n and_o though_o i_o have_v all_o along_o suppose_v that_o paternal_a government_n be_v at_o first_o monarchical_a yet_o i_o must_v likewise_o grant_v that_o when_o the_o world_n be_v replenish_v with_o people_n that_o this_o paternal_a government_n by_o succession_n cease_v 67._o and_o a_o new_a kind_n of_o it_o start_v up_o either_o by_o election_n conquest_n or_o usurpation_n yet_o this_o be_v still_o paternal_a power_n which_o can_v never_o be_v lose_v or_o cease_v though_o it_o may_v be_v transfer_v or_o usurp_v or_o it_o may_v be_v ordain_v a_o new_a in_o a_o person_n who_o otherwise_o have_v no_o right_a to_o it_o before_o thus_o god_n who_o be_v the_o giver_n of_o all_o power_n may_v transfer_v it_o from_o the_o father_n to_o the_o son_n as_o he_o give_v saul_n a_o fatherly_a power_n over_o his_o father_n kish_n so_o that_o all_o power_n on_o earth_n be_v either_o derive_v 70._o or_o usurp_v from_o the_o fatherly_a power_n there_o be_v no_o

adays_o can_v prove_v themselves_o right_a heir_n to_o adam_n or_o noah_n this_o be_v somewhat_o to_o the_o purpose_n but_o to_o talk_v of_o a_o paternal_a power_n proceed_v from_o election_n
