he_o think_v of_o all_o the_o very_a pope_n himself_o may_v be_v resist_v and_o that_o with_o gun_n and_o sword_n with_o force_n and_o arm_n in_o a_o certain_a case_n and_o yet_o the_o pope_n never_o

there_o be_v not_o the_o same_o effect_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o nonresistance_n among_o we_o for_o the_o divine_n most_o engage_v in_o teach_v of_o it_o and_o sound_v their_o hope_n and_o expectation_n upon_o it_o do_v now_o complain_v of_o miserable_a disappointment_n and_o seem_v to_o think_v the_o world_n mad_a or_o at_o least_o very_a foolish_a that_o they_o do_v not_o meet_v with_o a_o entire_a compliance_n with_o it_o there_o must_v be_v a_o great_a mistake_v some_o where_o or_o other_o and_o yet_o it_o be_v strange_a there_o shall_v be_v one_o in_o such_o a_o case_n as_o this_o which_o lie_v clear_a and_o open_a alike_o to_o all_o bellarmine_n certain_o see_v all_o the_o difficulty_n that_o our_o divine_n do_v and_o our_o divine_n see_v all_o the_o reason_n that_o bellarmine_n do_v and_o yet_o both_o be_v resolute_a in_o the_o contradictory_n it_o be_v pretty_a to_o consider_v the_o thought_n of_o bellarmine_n in_o the_o case_n after_o he_o have_v write_v his_o five_o book_n de_fw-fr pontifice_fw-la and_o therein_o set_v up_o his_o pope_n as_o high_a as_o high_a may_v be_v next_o and_o immediate_o under_o god_n himself_o christ_n vicar_n supreme_a over_o all_o emperor_n king_n prince_n nation_n country_n and_o that_o by_o divine_a right_n warrant_v and_o authority_n unaccountable_a to_o all_o the_o tribunal_n in_o this_o world_n judge_v of_o all_o and_o to_o be_v judge_v by_o none_o he_o than_o fall_v to_o write_v of_o the_o authority_n of_o council_n and_o go_v on_o still_o in_o the_o same_o way_n to_o mount_v his_o pope_n as_o well_o over_o all_o church-power_n as_o over_o all_o temporal_a and_o have_v do_v this_o any_o one_o will_v think_v that_o he_o have_v make_v a_o complete_a irresistible_a or_o a_o most_o proper_a object_n of_o nonresistance_n but_o bellarmine_n think_v not_o so_o for_o he_o think_v again_o that_o this_o his_o wonderful_a great_a one_o be_v yet_o but_o a_o man_n and_o possible_o he_o may_v commit_v fault_n he_o may_v misrule_n mis-govern_a he_o may_v design_n to_o subvert_v the_o constitution_n of_o the_o church_n he_o may_v endeavour_v to_o ruin_n and_o to_o destroy_v it_o upon_o that_o he_o query_n whether_o the_o church_n in_o such_o a_o case_n have_v no_o remedy_n no_o help_n nothing_o to_o do_v towards_o its_o own_o preservation_n must_v it_o need_v sink_v and_o fall_v because_o a_o certain_a man_n be_v willing_a it_o shall_v bellarmine_n say_v no_o and_o direct_v several_a method_n to_o be_v use_v for_o the_o support_n of_o it_o which_o be_v soft_a more_o decent_a and_o mannerly_a but_o after_o all_o if_o they_o shall_v fail_v he_o speak_v roundly_o that_o this_o pope_n be_v to_o be_v resist_v to_o be_v oppose_v vi_o &_o armis_fw-la with_o force_n and_o arm_n and_o that_o in_o such_o a_o case_n there_o need_v no_o authority_n to_o justify_v the_o action_n of_o those_o that_o resist_v he_o his_o own_o word_n be_v these_o de_fw-fr concilior_fw-la

and_o the_o pope_n may_v secure_o vex_v and_o destroy_v and_o none_o may_v resist_v he_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v no_o marvel_n if_o the_o church_n be_v without_o all_o human_a effectual_a remedy_n see_v her_o preservation_n do_v not_o chief_o depend_v upon_o man_n care_n but_o god_n protection_n inasmuch_o as_o god_n be_v her_o king_n therefore_o although_o the_o church_n can_v depose_v a_o pope_n yet_o it_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o pray_v to_o god_n that_o he_o will_v give_v a_o remedy_n and_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n will_v take_v care_n of_o its_o preservation_n and_o so_o will_v either_o convert_v the_o pope_n or_o take_v he_o out_o of_o the_o world_n before_o he_o can_v destroy_v the_o church_n but_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o thence_o follow_v that_o it_o may_v not_o be_v lawful_a to_o resist_v a_o pope_n endeavour_v to_o destroy_v the_o church_n for_o it_o be_v lawful_a keep_v up_o a_o due_a reverence_n to_o admonish_v he_o and_o modest_o to_o reprove_v he_o and_o to_o fight_v against_o he_o with_o force_n and_o arm_n if_o he_o will_v destroy_v the_o church_n for_o to_o resist_v and_o repel_v force_n with_o force_n there_o be_v require_v no_o authority_n at_o all_o thus_o bellarmine_n say_v and_o he_o be_v very_o clear_a that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o resist_v the_o high_a power_n the_o pope_n himself_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o the_o church_n to_o preserve_v it_o from_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n i_o hope_v no_o man_n will_v say_v that_o this_o may_v be_v do_v for_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o not_o for_o the_o church_n of_o england_n or_o that_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o have_v as_o great_a zeal_n for_o our_o church_n as_o he_o have_v for_o he_o i_o be_o sure_a we_o can_v challenge_v in_o behalf_n of_o a_o king_n of_o england_n more_o right_a to_o impunity_n or_o make_v he_o look_v more_o unaccountable_a than_o bellarmine_n do_v his_o pope_n and_o so_o there_o can_v be_v no_o more_o ground_n of_o conclude_v for_o or_o against_o the_o doctrine_n of_o nonresistance_n in_o the_o one_o case_n than_o in_o the_o other_o but_o yet_o some_o may_v think_v themselves_o under_o deep_a obligation_n than_o other_o and_o they_o may_v practise_v the_o entire_a duty_n of_o a_o complete_a nonresistance_n none_o will_v blame_v they_o for_o it_o so_o that_o they_o do_v not_o condemn_v other_o who_o be_v not_o so_o easy_a as_o they_o to_o give_v up_o their_o church_n and_o civil_a right_n when_o they_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o it_o as_o far_o as_o they_o can_v see_v either_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n or_o law_n of_o the_o land_n man_n must_v give_v allowance_n to_o one_o another_o because_o it_o may_v be_v possible_a that_o they_o may_v differ_v about_o notion_n that_o be_v very_o near_o to_o first_o principle_n i_o know_v not_o but_o some_o may_v affect_v slavery_n as_o a_o state_n exercise_v high_a virtue_n and_o tend_v to_o perfection_n other_o that_o can_v reach_v at_o such_o height_n content_v themselves_o with_o freedom_n and_o think_v that_o a_o useful_a and_o desirable_a conveniency_n this_o may_v seem_v strange_a but_o from_o thence_o it_o come_v as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v guess_v that_o some_o in_o the_o same_o text_n and_o same_o word_n find_v argument_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v slave_n and_o other_o that_o they_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o be_v free_n st._n paul_n say_v 1_o cor._n 7._o 21._o be_v thou_o call_v be_v a_o servant_n care_v not_o for_o it_o but_o if_o thou_o may_v be_v make_v free_a use_v it_o rather_o upon_o these_o word_n some_o say_v that_o st._n paul_n recommend_v to_o we_o slavery_n and_o will_v have_v we_o to_o be_v slave_n though_o we_o can_v be_v make_v free_a and_o so_o much_o the_o rather_o because_o we_o can_v other_o say_v that_o the_o apostle_n will_v have_v we_o be_v content_a to_o be_v slave_n when_o we_o be_v slave_n but_o if_o we_o can_v be_v make_v free_a we_o shall_v choose_v freedom_n rather_o here_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n
