in_o such_o a_o state_n resistance_n of_o destructive_a instrument_n be_v neither_o of_o power_n nor_o god_n ordinance_n i_o may_v therefore_o well_o omit_v that_o which_o at_o large_a here_o he_o

because_o then_o that_o be_v past_a the_o government_n change_v and_o a_o oath_n take_v of_o absolute_a subjection_n have_v i_o by_o these_o thing_n grant_v a_o liberty_n of_o resistance_n of_o god_n

justify_v this_o yea_o i_o ascribe_v more_o to_o god_n ordinance_n of_o power_n than_o he_o he_o say_v that_o in_o a_o limit_a state_n we_o owe_v only_o passive_a subjection_n to_o exceed_a command_n of_o a_o prince_n by_o promise_n limit_v himself_o in_o the_o use_n of_o his_o power_n i_o say_v though_o he_o sin_n in_o exceed_v such_o promise_n yet_o we_o owe_v he_o also_o active_a obedience_n in_o such_o command_n which_o god_n law_n forbid_v we_o not_o to_o be_v active_a in_o neither_o do_v i_o bring_v doctor_n bilson_n testimony_n to_o prove_v that_o religion_n be_v then_o no_o part_n

who_o explain_v the_o power_n there_o forbid_v to_o be_v resist_v say_v it_o be_v the_o prince_n will_v not_o against_o his_o law_n but_o agree_v to_o his_o law_n here_o he_o serve_v dr_n bilson_n and_o other_o divine_n as_o before_o the_o king_n and_o the_o parliament_n teach_v they_o a_o meaning_n contrary_n to_o their_o word_n they_o mean_v such_o state_n as_o may_v by_o the_o know_a law_n

he_o say_v but_o what_o he_o speak_v not_o nor_o do_v i_o answer_v but_o he_o will_v try_v the_o force_n of_o this_o exception_n because_o i_o profess_v with_o mr_n burrowes_n against_o resist_v of_o

the_o power_n command_v contrary_a to_o law_n as_o oft_o they_o do_v not_o under_o the_o arrian_n emperor_n though_o religion_n be_v then_o a_o part_n of_o the_o law_n p._n 78._o answer_v 1._o dr_n

but_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o therefore_o they_o be_v so_o in_o government_n where_o the_o law_n be_v limitation_n of_o the_o power_n itself_o and_o exceed_a act_n be_v not_o potestative_a

in_o my_o treatise_n herein_o he_o do_v two_o thing_n 1._o bring_v his_o reason_n against_o resistance_n 2._o endeavour_n to_o answer_v those_o which_o i_o bring_v for_o it_o but_o for_o more_o evident_a proceed_n about_o both_o we_o must_v distinct_o call_v to_o mind_v the_o question_n of_o what_o it_o be_v 1._o it_o be_v of_o resistance_n in_o this_o state_n that_o be_v a_o state_n which_o i_o have_v prove_v to_o be_v limit_v and_o mix_v in_o the_o very_a power_n itself_o 2._o it_o be_v only_o of_o resistance_n of_o destructive_a instrument_n therefore_o if_o his_o reason_n do_v not_o reach_v to_o such_o a_o resistance_n they_o be_v not_o to_o the_o purpose_n now_o against_o resistance_n the_o doctor_n bring_v no_o few_o than_o nine_o reason_n in_o his_o first_o book_n he_o have_v only_o five_o here_o he_o have_v make_v up_o in_o number_n what_o they_o want_v in_o weight_n i_o will_v in_o few_o word_n answer_v they_o distinct_o for_o many_o need_v not_o 1._o his_o first_o be_v from_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n put_v his_o people_n under_o king_n without_o power_n of_o resistance_n this_o shall_v be_v to_o we_o instead_o of_o a_o most_o forceable_a reason_n p._n 84._o answ_n well_o it_o may_v be_v instead_o of_o one_o but_o it_o be_v not_o one_o for_o 1._o it_o be_v their_o desire_n to_o be_v under_o a_o absolute_a government_n as_o their_o neighbour_n country_n be_v and_o they_o offend_v god_n in_o it_o as_o lyra_n observe_v therefore_o he_o give_v they_o such_o a_o king_n as_o they_o desire_v do_v not_o in_o his_o wisdom_n intend_v a_o bind_a form_n for_o all_o people_n i_o think_v the_o doctor_n will_v not_o affirm_v he_o do_v 2._o if_o he_o mean_v resistance_n of_o their_o prince_n his_o authority_n and_o person_n i_o grant_v they_o be_v so_o put_v under_o and_o so_o be_v we_o and_o all_o that_o be_v put_v under_o monarch_n but_o if_o he_o mean_v the_o act_n of_o the_o prince_n will_v which_o be_v not_o authoritative_a i_o do_v deny_v it_o and_o the_o former_a allege_a instance_n prove_v they_o be_v not_o and_o that_o be_v all_o i_o affirm_v in_o other_o monarchy_n 2._o the_o word_n of_o god_n give_v no_o direction_n for_o it_o the_o prophet_n

private_a destructive_a assaulter_n of_o law_n and_o liberty_n who_o have_v no_o authority_n derive_v to_o they_o and_o i_o defend_v no_o other_o 3._o the_o apostle_n forbid_v resistance_n of_o the_o power_n not_o from_o any_o compact_n of_o the_o people_n but_o from_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n it_o be_v true_a for_o no_o compact_n of_o people_n can_v establish_v a_o unresistible_a power_n without_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n i_o acknowledge_v the_o apostle_n ground_n for_o it_o and_o therefore_o allow_v no_o resistance_n where_o there_o be_v god_n ordinance_n to_o secure_v they_o not_o for_o any_o abuse_n 4._o to_o be_v supreme_a and_o next_o to_o god_n imply_v a_o security_n from_o resistance_n p._n 85._o i_o grant_v all_o his_o person_n his_o power_n be_v hereby_o secure_v i_o condemn_v all_o rise_n up_o against_o the_o king_n but_o instrument_n of_o subversion_n have_v nothing_o of_o the_o king_n in_o they_o not_o his_o person_n nor_o authority_n be_v rise_v up_o against_o in_o they_o for_o his_o conceit_n about_o jus_o regis_n i_o have_v say_v enough_o above_o neither_o do_v i_o give_v to_o the_o house_n the_o power_n of_o the_o lacedaemonian_a ephori_fw-la they_o have_v a_o authority_n over_o the_o very_a person_n of_o the_o king_n which_o the_o house_n claim_v not_o i_o give_v they_o no_o more_o than_o calvin_n do_v to_o the_o three_o estate_n in_o their_o general_a meeting_n the_o doctor_n well_o know_v what_o i_o will_v answer_v he_o which_o he_o seek_v to_o evade_v 1._o by_o affirm_v that_o the_o resist_a of_o instrument_n act_v by_o his_o power_n which_o he_o have_v commit_v to_o they_o be_v a_o resist_n of_o he_o p._n 86._o it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v so_o but_o we_o speak_v of_o instrument_n which_o act_n not_o by_o his_o power_n that_o be_v his_o authority_n but_o by_o his_o will_n in_o a_o course_n exceed_v the_o limitation_n of_o his_o authority_n can_v he_o prove_v that_o a_o limit_a prince_n can_v commit_v power_n to_o do_v act_n without_o the_o bound_n of_o his_o power_n the_o question_n be_v answer_v else_o he_o beg_v it_o but_o answer_v it_o not_o 2._o he_o will_v desire_v i_o to_o look_v again_o upon_o the_o two_o assertion_n of_o the_o reverend_a divine_n which_o i_o reject_v he_o can_v conceive_v how_o i_o can_v retain_v my_o own_o assertion_n and_o reject_v they_o the_o doctor_n have_v a_o great_a

well_o let_v we_o look_v again_o on_o the_o two_o assertion_n which_o i_o reject_v in_o they_o 1._o governor_n who_o under_o pretence_n of_o authority_n from_o god_n ordinance_n disturb_v the_o quiet_a and_o godly_a life_n be_v far_o from_o be_v god_n ordinance_n in_o so_o do_v 2._o this_o tyranny_n not_o be_v god_n ordinance_n they_o which_o resist_v it_o even_o with_o arm_n resist_v not_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n do_v i_o defend_v any_o assertion_n equivalent_a to_o these_o rather_o i_o assert_v in_o that_o treatise_n and_o here_o also_o the_o contrary_n 1._o governor_n whither_o in_o absolute_a or_o limit_a state_n keep_v within_o the_o measure_n of_o their_o power_n may_v disturb_v the_o quiet_a and_o godly_a life_n and_o yet_o be_v god_n ordinance_n in_o that_o act_n though_o cross_v the_o end_n of_o god_n ordinance_n in_o it_o 2._o power_n though_o abuse_v yet_o be_v god_n ordinance_n they_o which_o resist_v even_o in_o abusive_a act_n of_o it_o resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n be_v here_o no_o difference_n can_v i_o retain_v this_o assertion_n that_o exceed_a act_n in_o limit_a monarchy_n be_v not_o god_n ordinance_n and_o may_v in_o instrument_n be_v resist_v and_o yet_o reject_v they_o who_o maintain_v resistance_n of_o governor_n themselves_o in_o all_o act_n of_o abuse_a power_n he_o make_v no_o difference_n between_o act_n exceed_v bound_n of_o power_n and_o act_n of_o abuse_a power_n but_o of_o this_o more_o than_o enough_o before_o 3._o but_o he_o will_v answer_v more_o particular_o so_o he_o have_v need_v what_o be_v it_o he_o that_o bear_v the_o sword_n that_o be_v have_v the_o supreme_a power_n give_v commission_n to_o under-minister_n for_o justice_n and_o to_o other_o officer_n for_o the_o militia_n if_o therefore_o the_o resistance_n of_o those_o though_o abuse_v their_o power_n be_v a_o resistance_n of_o the_o power_n so_o it_o be_v also_o of_o these_o answ_n i_o grant_v all_o for_o it_o proceed_v only_o of_o minister_n abuse_v power_n commit_v to_o they_o not_o of_o excess_n of_o power_n i_o will_v retort_v it_o like_a as_o if_o when_o the_o supreme_a give_v commission_n of_o justice_n to_o a_o judge_n and_o he_o exceed_v unto_o act_n without_o the_o compass_n of_o his_o commission_n be_v but_o a_o private_a man_n in_o those_o act_n and_o may_v be_v resist_v so_o if_o commission_n of_o arm_n be_v
