usurper_n can_v have_v have_v a_o right_a to_o the_o submission_n and_o obedience_n of_o the_o jew_n while_o it_o be_v not_o know_v that_o the_o king_n son_n be_v live_v but_o judah_n be_v a_o

other_o nation_n those_o king_n who_o be_v place_v in_o the_o throne_n and_o settle_v there_o be_v and_o continue_v king_n till_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n displace_v they_o again_o for_o where_o king_n be_v make_v only_o by_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n they_o can_v be_v unmake_v by_o providence_n too_o have_v our_o author_n consider_v this_o he_o will_v not_o have_v say_v that_o it_o be_v mere_a trifle_n to_o talk_v of_o god_n entail_v the_o crown_n as_o if_o god_n be_v tie_v any_o more_o to_o the_o entail_v of_o his_o own_o make_n than_o he_o be_v to_o humane_a entail_v and_o his_o own_o decree_n and_o order_n will_v not_o cut_v off_o his_o own_o entail_v as_o well_o as_o those_o of_o men._n for_o though_o god_n may_v cut_v off_o his_o own_o entail_v if_o he_o please_v yet_o man_n can_v and_o the_o mere_a event_n of_o providence_n can_v never_o prove_v that_o god_n have_v do_v it_o for_o we_o must_v never_o interpret_v providential_a event_n to_o contradict_v a_o express_a revelation_n and_o therefore_o though_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n in_o place_v a_o king_n on_o the_o throne_n in_o judah_n or_o israel_n who_o neither_o be_v anoint_v by_o god_n

their_o hereditary_a prince_n and_o to_o put_v it_o into_o their_o power_n to_o place_v he_o on_o the_o throne_n the_o right_a and_o authority_n of_o these_o providential_a king_n be_v at_o a_o end_n and_o now_o there_o will_v be_v no_o great_a occasion_n to_o take_v much_o notice_n of_o what_o he_o answer_v to_o my_o second_o argument_n from_o the_o necessity_n of_o government_n to_o the_o preservation_n of_o humane_a society_n for_o i_o ready_o grant_v what_o he_o contend_v for_o that_o these_o argument_n will_v equal_o conclude_v for_o submission_n to_o athaliah_n as_o to_o any_o other_o usurper_n and_o what_o then_o the_o jew_n do_v actual_o submit_v to_o athaliah_n and_o this_o argument_n from_o the_o necessity_n of_o government_n justify_v their_o submission_n but_o our_o author_n dispute_v as_o if_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o jew_n do_v not_o submit_v to_o athaliah_n but_o it_o be_v evident_a from_o the_o story_n that_o they_o do_v and_o yet_o be_v not_o blame_v in_o scripture_n for_o so_o do_v but_o i_o suppose_v his_o mistake_n be_v that_o because_o they_o own_v joash_n for_o their_o king_n when_o he_o be_v anoint_v by_o jehojada_n and_o slay_v athaliah_n therefore_o they_o never_o submit_v to_o athaliah_n government_n as_o if_o they_o can_v not_o very_o innocent_o and_o lawful_o submit_v to_o the_o government_n of_o athaliah_n while_o they_o know_v of_o no_o other_o king_n they_o have_v and_o yet_o own_o their_o king_n who_o be_v their_o king_n by_o a_o divine_a entail_v when_o they_o know_v he_o but_o indeed_o here_o be_v the_o fundamental_a mistake_n of_o all_o that_o he_o suppose_v the_o jew_n all_v this_o while_n know_v that_o joash_n the_o true_a heir_n to_o the_o crown_n be_v live_v and_o therefore_o out_o of_o loyalty_n to_o their_o prince_n they_o do_v not_o all_o this_o while_n submit_v to_o athaliah_n whereas_o it_o be_v evident_a from_o the_o story_n that_o they_o know_v nothing_o of_o this_o matter_n till_o jehojada_n send_v for_o the_o prince_n and_o levite_n and_o discover_v the_o king_n son_n to_o they_o and_o i_o will_v desire_v he_o to_o consider_v how_o athaliah_n shall_v be_v ignorant_a of_o this_o for_o six_o year_n when_o all_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n know_v it_o and_o yet_o if_o he_o be_v not_o guilty_a of_o this_o mistake_n i_o know_v not_o what_o sense_n to_o make_v of_o what_o he_o say_v p._n 8._o about_o swear_v a_o oath_n of_o fidelity_n to_o she_o to_o defend_v she_o against_o all_o man_n even_o against_o he_o who_o they_o own_v and_o acknowledge_v have_v a_o right_n to_o the_o throne_n that_o be_v against_o joash_n who_o be_v their_o rightful_a king_n but_o they_o can_v not_o own_o and_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v so_o without_o believe_v he_o to_o be_v alive_a and_o safe_a and_o yet_o if_o they_o know_v nothing_o of_o joash_n and_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o royal_a line_n be_v extinct_a i_o desire_v to_o know_v of_o our_o author_n by_o his_o own_o principle_n have_v it_o be_v customary_a in_o those_o day_n what_o shall_v have_v hinder_v they_o to_o have_v swear_v allegiance_n to_o athaliah_n for_o he_o allow_v possession_n to_o be_v something_o when_o there_o be_v no_o better_a claim_n against_o it_o and_o yet_o though_o they_o have_v swear_v allegiance_n to_o athaliah_n they_o may_v without_o perjury_n have_v own_v their_o lawful_a prince_n when_o jehoiada_n have_v discover_v he_o to_o they_o for_o no_o oath_n can_v oblige_v against_o a_o divine_a entail_v and_o therefore_o such_o case_n be_v always_o suppose_v to_o be_v except_v i_o

settle_v the_o crown_n in_o such_o a_o family_n by_o a_o legal_a entail_v against_o his_o providence_n in_o settle_v a_o new_a king_n upon_o the_o throne_n it_o be_v all_o but_o providence_n still_o and_o i_o desire_v to_o know_v why_o the_o providence_n of_o a_o entail_v be_v more_o sacred_a and_o obligatory_a than_o any_o other_o act_n of_o providence_n which_o give_v a_o settle_a possession_n

every_o man_n who_o wrongful_o possess_v himself_o of_o another_o man_n estate_n in_o that_o land_n canaan_n must_v be_v make_v to_o restore_v it_o for_o god_n have_v express_o give_v it_o to_o the_o

and_o it_o be_v his_o evident_a decree_n and_o counsel_n that_o he_o shall_v have_v it_o now_o the_o fundamental_a mistake_n which_o run_v through_o all_o these_o kind_n of_o argument_n be_v this_o that_o they_o make_v the_o event_n of_o providence_n in_o private_a injury_n theft_n robbery_n encroachment_n of_o one_o subject_a on_o another_o subject_n right_n to_o be_v the_o very_a same_o with_o

government_n and_o humane_a court_n of_o justice_n and_o therefore_o his_o providence_n have_v no_o effect_n at_o all_o on_o such_o personal_a right_n but_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o the_o thing_n prove_v that_o such_o dispute_n which_o be_v too_o big_a for_o a_o legal_a decision_n or_o any_o humane_a court_n for_o the_o decision_n of_o which_o god_n have_v erect_v no_o universal_a tribunal_n on_o earth_n he_o have_v reserve_v to_o his_o own_o judgement_n such_o as_o the_o correction_n of_o sovereign_a prince_n and_o the_o transfer_v kingdom_n and_o empire_n and_o here_o the_o final_a determination_n of_o providence_n in_o settle_v prince_n on_o their_o throne_n draw_v the_o allegiance_n and_o submission_n of_o subject_n after_o it_o and_o in_o such_o case_n god_n do_v not_o confine_v himself_o to_o determine_v on_o the_o side_n of_o humane_a right_n but_o act_n with_o a_o sovereign_a authority_n and_o give_v the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n to_o who_o he_o please_v as_o he_o can_v best_o serve_v the_o wise_a and_o many_o time_n the_o unsearchable_a design_n of_o his_o providence_n by_o it_o which_o show_v how_o much_o our_o author_n be_v out_o in_o apply_v

legal_a right_n of_o subject_n to_o their_o estate_n and_o therefore_o think_v it_o as_o wicked_a and_o unjust_a for_o subject_n whatever_o their_o circumstance_n be_v to_o own_o any_o other_o prince_n but_o the_o legal_a heir_n as_o it_o will_v be_v for_o tenant_n to_o pay_v their_o rent_n to_o any_o but_o their_o true_a legal_a lord_n but_o i_o apprehend_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o these_o two_o case_n and_o it_o be_v this_o that_o in_o settle_v a_o estate_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o require_v but_o a_o mere_a humane_a right_n but_o to_o make_v a_o legal_a king_n beside_o a_o humane_a right_n to_o the_o crown_n he_o must_v have_v god_n authority_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o legal_a descent_n and_o a_o legal_a possession_n that_o give_v right_o to_o a_o legal_a estate_n and_o therefore_o the_o law_n must_v have_v its_o effect_n and_o be_v the_o only_a adequate_a rule_n of_o right_n and_o wrong_n in_o such_o case_n and_o though_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n allot_v man_n private_a fortune_n though_o he_o make_v rich_a and_o make_v poor_a yet_o he_o give_v no_o man_n a_o right_n to_o a_o estate_n which_o he_o have_v get_v by_o fraud_n injustice_n and_o violence_n nor_o exempt_v they_o from_o legal_a punishment_n and_o prosecution_n but_o leave_v all_o such_o mere_a legal_a right_n under_o the_o general_a influence_n of_o his_o providence_n to_o the_o care_n of_o public_a government_n but_o now_o if_o a_o mere_a humane_a right_n can_v make_v a_o king_n but_o it_o be_v god_n authority_n which_o make_v a_o king_n if_o god_n reserve_v this_o authority_n in_o his_o own_o hand_n to_o the_o free_a disposal_n of_o his_o own_o sovereign_n will_v and_o counsel_n and_o do_v not_o inseparable_o annex_v it_o to_o humane_a entail_v of_o the_o crown_n if_o god_n authority_n without_o a_o humane_a right_n can_v make_v a_o king_n but_o humane_a law_n can_v make_v a_o king_n without_o god_n authority_n this_o may_v satisfy_v we_o that_o when_o god_n think_v fit_a to_o interpose_v his_o authority_n a_o mere_a legal_a right_n be_v not_o a_o sufficient_a reason_n to_o adhere_v to_o a_o prince_n who_o god_n have_v remove_v from_o the_o throne_n nor_o the_o mere_a want_n of_o a_o legal_a right_n a_o sufficient_a reason_n to_o disow_v a_o prince_n who_o god_n have_v set_v upon_o the_o throne_n if_o mere_a law_n make_v a_o king_n as_o it_o make_v a_o heir_n to_o a_o estate_n it_o be_v very_o unjust_a in_o subject_n to_o own_o any_o but_o a_o legal_a king_n but_o if_o the_o sovereign_a authority_n of_o god_n can_v remove_v a_o king_n who_o have_v the_o legal_a right_n and_o set_v up_o a_o king_n who_o have_v no_o legal_a right_n then_o mere_a humane_a law_n be_v not_o the_o only_a rule_n of_o right_n and_o wrong_n in_o this_o matter_n and_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o charge_v any_o man_n who_o upon_o these_o term_n submit_v to_o a_o new_a prince_n with_o the_o least_o injustice_n either_o in_o disow_v his_o old_a legal_a prince_n or_o in_o submit_v to_o a_o new_a one_o second_o as_o for_o the_o right_n to_o allegiance_n it_o be_v the_o great_a design_n of_o my_o book_n to_o prove_v that_o allegiance_n be_v not_o immediate_o due_a to_o a_o legal_a right_n to_o the_o crown_n but_o to_o government_n and_o therefore_o a_o prince_n who_o have_v a_o legal_a right_n to_o the_o throne_n but_o have_v it_o not_o can_v have_v a_o right_n to_o my_o allegiance_n till_o he_o gain_v the_o throne_n and_o i_o deny_v he_o no_o right_n which_o he_o can_v just_o claim_v though_o i_o deny_v my_o allegiance_n to_o he_o while_o he_o be_v out_o of_o the_o throne_n and_o methinks_v our_o author_n shall_v have_v answer_v all_o that_o i_o say_v upon_o this_o argument_n before_o he_o have_v so_o dogmatical_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o general_a rule_n about_o right_a and_o wrong_n which_o extend_v to_o all_o person_n and_o case_n make_v it_o needless_a for_o st._n paul_n to_o have_v tell_v we_o that_o by_o the_o high_a power_n and_o the_o power_n that_o be_v he_o mean_v only_o legal_a power_n for_o if_o illegal_a power_n in_o his_o sense_n may_v be_v the_o hight_a power_n and_o the_o power_n that_o at_o present_a be_v who_o have_v the_o actual_a administration_n of_o government_n and_o allegiance_n be_v immediate_o due_a only_o to_o the_o govern_v power_n then_o notwithstanding_o the_o general_n rule_v of_o right_n and_o wrong_n the_o apostle_n may_v mean_v our_o author_n be_v illegal_a power_n i_o be_o sure_a the_o reason_n of_o thing_n do_v not_o prove_v the_o contrary_a for_o when_o the_o allegiance_n and_o obedience_n of_o subject_n be_v a_o duty_n only_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o government_n for_o the_o ease_n and_o safety_n of_o it_o it_o be_v very_o strange_a that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v due_a to_o a_o settle_a government_n but_o due_a to_o a_o prince_n who_o do_v not_o and_o can_v govern._n and_o if_o i_o may_v have_v liberty_n to_o dispute_v with_o this_o author_n upon_o his_o own_o principle_n i_o desire_v to_o know_v of_o he_o whether_o allegiance_n be_v due_a to_o any_o prince_n upon_o any_o other_o account_n than_o his_o be_v invest_v with_o god_n authority_n let_v he_o say_v it_o be_v at_o the_o utmost_a peril_n of_o his_o cause_n how_o then_o do_v god_n invest_v any_o prince_n with_o his_o authority_n of_o government_n who_o he_o do_v not_o immediate_o nominate_v as_o he_o do_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n it_o must_v be_v either_o by_o annex_v his_o authority_n to_o the_o legal_a office_n or_o by_o place_v such_o a_o person_n on_o the_o throne_n by_o what_o mean_v soever_o he_o do_v it_o or_o by_o both_o and_o then_o it_o be_v certain_a no_o prince_n can_v have_v god_n authority_n who_o be_v not_o in_o possession_n of_o the_o throne_n and_o then_o no_o allegiance_n can_v be_v due_a to_o he_o if_o god_n authority_n be_v annex_v to_o the_o regal_a office_n a_o prince_n must_v be_v in_o the_o actual_a administration_n of_o the_o regal_a office_n and_o power_n before_o he_o can_v have_v god_n authority_n as_o a_o man_n must_v be_v actual_o marry_v before_o he_o can_v have_v the_o authority_n which_o the_o divine_a law_n

again_o that_o i_o never_o be_v factious_a against_o take_v the_o oath_n nor_o make_v it_o my_o business_n to_o dissuade_v man_n from_o it_o when_o my_o opinion_n be_v ask_v i_o declare_v my_o own_o

the_o oath_n where_o my_o opinion_n be_v not_o first_o ask_v and_o if_o my_o opinion_n have_v any_o authority_n with_o they_o then_o our_o author_n know_v it_o be_v more_o than_o it_o ought_v to_o have_v have_v and_o that_o be_v none_o of_o my_o fault_n unless_o he_o mean_v that_o my_o authority_n be_v considerable_a against_o take_v the_o oath_n but_o none_o for_o it_o which_o be_v the_o way_n that_o all_o party_n and_o faction_n judge_v of_o man_n authority_n but_o though_o our_o author_n seem_v very_o well_o acquaint_v with_o the_o thing_n call_v faction_n yet_o he_o be_v not_o willing_a

bitterness_n envy_n and_o emulation_n in_o violent_a opposition_n to_o government_n in_o change_v and_o confine_v friendship_n with_o a_o party_n in_o censure_n and_o reproach_n in_o stigmatise_v all_o person_n of_o another_o persuasion_n as_o perjure_a knave_n whereas_o though_o there_o have_v be_v a_o material_a perjury_n a_o different_a opinion_n may_v excuse_v from_o formal_a perjury_n
