then if in their representative Assemblies one cannot act unless he be elected no more may any other But in Christian associations no one Father hath a greater priviledge to act in their Common-Councels then another Therefore if in their representative Conventions one cannot act unless he be elected no more may any other XLIX If in their representative Councels none hath more power to act then another unless he be elected then the pretended power of Kings and Lords spirituall and temporal to act by vertue of their own rights is not justifyable But in the representative Councels of associated beleeving Fathers none hath more power to act then another unless he be elected Therefore the pretended power of Kings and Lords spirituall and temporall to act in such Councels by vertue of their own rights is not justifiable L. If custome cannot destroy a right grounded upon an universall Law of God the the authority of the Fatherhood cannot be voided by any customary claimes But custome cannot destroy a right grounded upon an universall Law of God Mat. 15. 3. 4. 9. Therefore no customary claimes can make void the sole and independent authority of a Christian Fatherhood LI. If the government of a Christian Common-wealth be solely and independently in the Fatherhood then whosoever assumes a power in competition with the Common-councell of a beleeving Fatherhood usurps upon their authority and sins against Gods ordinance But the government of a Christian Commonwealth is solely and independently in the Fatherhood Therefore whosoever assumes a power in competition with them or with their representatives doth thereby sin against Gods ordinance LII If the Fatherhood of Christian associations have a sole and independent power and if it be a sin to usurp upon that authority then may the representative Trustees of the Fatherhood lawfully resist any such usurpation But the authority of the Fatherhood of associated Christians is sole and independent and it is a sin to usurp upon that authority Therefore any such usurpation may lawfully be resisted by the representative Trustees of the Fatherhood LIII If it be lawfully in the power of the representative Trustees of the Fatherhood to resist any such usurpation then they are bound in honour and religion not to suffer any to be competitors with them in government if they have a potency wherewith to oppose But it is lawfully in the power of the representative Trustees of the Fatherhood to resist any usurped power Therefore if they be in a condition to prevent it it stands not with their honour nor honesty to suffer any to be their competitors LIIII If the Trustees of the Fatherhood cannot in honor or honesty suffer any to be sharers with them in government they having a potency to oppose then had it been dishonest and dishonorable in the present Trustees of the Fatherhood to yield an inherent right in the Militia and Negative voice to a King in their power who had taken up Arms to maintain the incroachment But the Trustees of the Fatherhood cannot in honour or honesty suffer any to be sharers with them in government they being in an opposing condition Therefore had they yeelded an inherent right in the Militia and Negative voice to a King who had put the Nation to a vast expence in a war raised to maintain the incroachment they had neither done honestly nor honourably LV. If the supreme power be solely and independently in the Fatherhood and if their present Trustees did by their publique Remonstrances engage the people in a chargable war against the contrary pretences then if after the sword had determined the controversie they had yeelded up their sole and independent interests they might deservedly have been noted with the brand of infidelity to all succeeding generations But the supreme authority is solely and independently in the Fatherhood and their present Trustees had engaged the people in a chargeable war by their publique Remonstrances against the contrary pretensions Therefore they might deservedly have been noted with the ignominious brand of infidelity to all succeeding generations had they after the sword had determined the controversie yielded up any part of that sole and independent authority with which they were intrusted LVI If the Lawes now in being do not agree in all points with the Lawes of former ages then if the present Lawes be of any force it must necessarily be acknowledged that humane Lawes are alterable and repealable But the Lawes now in being do not agree in all points with the Lawes of former ages Therefore if the present Lawes be of any force it must be acknowledged that humane Lawes are alterable and repealeable LVII If humane National Lawes may lawfully be altered or repealed then they may be repealed or altered by that authority or the like to that by which they were or ought to have been made But it is lawful to alter or repeal any humane National Lawes Therefore they may be altered or repealed by that authority or the like to that by which they were or ought to have been made LVIII If humane Lawes may be altered or repealed by that authority or the like to that by which they were made then the Fatherhood of Christian associations may alter or repeale any municipal Lawes therein constituted But humane Lawes may be altered or repealed by that authority or the like to that by which they were or ought to have been made Therefore the municipal Lawes of Christian associations may be altered or repealed by the Fatherhood or their representatives LIX If humane Lawes may be altered or repealed by the Fatherhood and if Magistrates Parochial Provincial and Monarchical be of humane institution then any such Magistrates may be outed of their authority by an act of the Fatherhood either personally or representatively assembled But municipal Lawes may be altered or repealed by the Fatherhood and all such Magistrates be of humane institution Therefore any such Magistrates may be outed of their authority by an act of the Fatherhood whether personally or representatively assembled LX. If in the English Nation there hath been at one and the same time many Kings independent one of another from whom the last Kings could not derive any interest then to make out a justifiable title to the late Kings it must bee confessed that Kings may be deposed But in the English Nation there hath beene at one and the same time many Kings independent one of another from whom the last Kings could not derive any interest Therefore the title of the late Kings was invalid unless Kings may lawfully be deposed LXI If before association the Fathers of a Christian Commonwealth were equally independent then after association they are equally obliged to submit to the Lawes therein constituted But before association the Fathers of a Christian Commonwealth were equally independent Therefore being associated they are equally bound to submit to the Lawes therein constituted LXII If the members of a Commonwealth be equally bound to submit to the Lawes
