in_o this_o order_n namely_o to_o prove_v 1._o what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v in_o a_o capacity_n to_o act_v tyrannical_o and_o what_o not_o 2._o that_o before_o the_o king_n desert_v the_o parliament_n

be_v the_o sole_a judge_n of_o what_o they_o do_v or_o order_n in_o reference_n to_o the_o government_n of_o the_o people_n be_v to_o be_v in_o a_o capacity_n to_o act_v tyrannical_o therefore_o since_o the_o king_n desert_v the_o parliament_n they_o be_v in_o a_o capacity_n so_o to_o act_v or_o second_o by_o give_v commission_n to_o army_n they_o become_v the_o governor_n of_o those_o army_n

sometime_o governor_n appoint_v they_o by_o divine_a authority_n but_o we_o as_o far_o as_o we_o enjoy_v our_o freedom_n not_o without_o our_o own_o choice_n and_o therefore_o as_o we_o be_v free_a in_o choose_v they_o to_o represent_v we_o as_o the_o people_n of_o england_n so_o we_o be_v as_o free_a in_o choose_v whether_o we_o will_v allow_v they_o to_o be_v our_o governor_n except_o we_o

people_n of_o the_o land_n have_v at_o all_o believe_v that_o they_o intend_v it_o therefore_o the_o people_n in_o parliament_n be_v not_o our_o governor_n but_o as_o some_o of_o we_o be_v willing_a to_o own_v they_o so_o and_o that_o this_o be_v a_o truth_n appear_v second_o by_o the_o parliament_n declare_v the_o case_n and_o therein_o appeal_n to_o the_o people_n to_o be_v their_o own_o

any_o of_o we_o but_o as_o it_o give_v they_o who_o receive_v the_o commission_n for_o we_o a_o lawful_a authority_n to_o judge_v of_o and_o by_o the_o sword_n or_o otherwise_o to_o restrain_v they_o in_o act_v tyrannical_o for_o if_o they_o give_v we_o or_o our_o deputy_n who_o we_o and_o they_o entrust_v to_o receive_v the_o sword_n to_o defend_v we_o a_o commission_n to_o oppose_v the_o arbitrary_a and_o tyrannical_a power_n of_o governor_n than_o they_o give_v we_o in_o our_o say_a deputy_n a_o commission_n to_o oppose_v it_o in_o themselves_o because_o in_o receive_v their_o

have_v no_o other_o reason_n to_o take_v up_o arm_n against_o our_o former_a governor_n but_o to_o oppose_v tyranny_n and_o second_o as_o i_o have_v already_o show_v if_o those_o who_o in_o the_o capacity_n of_o ruler_n do_v make_v ordinance_n shall_v also_o in_o the_o capacity_n of_o people_n have_v sole_a power_n to_o judge_v of_o the_o justness_n of_o they_o than_o they_o be_v invest_v

also_o be_v the_o sole_a judge_n of_o the_o justness_n of_o so_o do_v and_o it_o be_v not_o tolerable_a that_o our_o take_n up_o arm_n against_o tyranny_n be_v to_o maintain_v such_o a_o tyrannical_a power_n wherefore_o it_o must_v necessary_o be_v allow_v that_o we_o never_o have_v own_v their_o authority_n in_o give_v commission_n to_o we_o or_o any_o of_o we_o but_o as_o it_o give_v they_o authority_n who_o receive_v the_o commission_n for_o we_o again_o to_o judge_v of_o and_o restrain_v they_o in_o act_v tyrannical_o 3._o that_o thus_o to_o oppose_v be_v the_o proper_a work_n of_o the_o army_n raise_v by_o they_o they_o be_v those_o who_o be_v entrust_v with_o the_o sword_n first_o because_o none_o but_o they_o be_v lawful_o entrust_v to_o use_v their_o endeavour_n for_o this_o

for_o to_o oppose_v those_o that_o act_n by_o a_o lawful_a commission_n be_v to_o rebel_v against_o authority_n 2._o if_o both_o we_o as_o the_o people_n in_o parliament_n be_v willing_a to_o give_v

not_o approve_v of_o their_o act_n therein_o yet_o if_o we_o resist_v they_o

we_o act_n as_o private_a man_n against_o the_o authority_n give_v they_o by_o all_o the_o people_n in_o parliament_n and_o after_o we_o have_v engage_v ourselves_o to_o allow_v they_o liberty_n in_o

they_o who_o oppose_v they_o oppose_v their_o private_a opinion_n against_o their_o own_o authority_n in_o parliament_n and_o 2._o break_v their_o public_a engagement_n to_o the_o parliament_n and_o kingdom_n which_o david_n say_v we_o may_v not_o do_v though_o the_o keep_n thereof_o shall_v be_v to_o our_o prejudice_n now_o then_o you_o see_v it_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o the_o work_n to_o which_o they_o be_v call_v lawful_o but_o so_o they_o as_o none_o else_o may_v oppose_v without_o oppose_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n therefore_o the_o army_n raise_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o parliament_n have_v a_o lawful_a authority_n to_o judge_v of_o and_o restrain_v the_o same_o parliament_n as_o they_o be_v not_o ourselves_o or_o people_n but_o our_o governor_n from_o act_v tyrannical_o and_o now_o i_o come_v to_o answer_v the_o six_o thing_n before_o mention_v allege_v against_o their_o proceed_n herein_o object_n 1._o that_o they_o have_v resist_v authority_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o i_o have_v prove_v they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o act_v against_o authority_n that_o they_o have_v act_v herein_o according_a to_o their_o place_n and_o calling_n and_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o man_n very_a do_v their_o duty_n shall_v be_v the_o commit_n of_o sin_n or_o act_v rebellious_o 2._o i_o answer_v that_o if_o the_o member_n in_o parliament_n as_o they_o be_v our_o governor_n have_v no_o authority_n to_o act_v and_o persever_v in_o act_v thing_n contrary_a to_o our_o like_n declare_v by_o our_o lawful_a deputy_n then_o in_o so_o act_v they_o act_n that_o which_o they_o have_v no_o authority_n to_o do_v in_o which_o to_o oppose_v they_o be_v to_o oppose_v their_o will_n only_o not_o their_o authority_n 3._o it_o may_v by_o the_o same_o reason_n be_v prove_v that_o the_o parliament_n war_n be_v unlawful_a because_o therein_o they_o oppose_v the_o will_n of_o he_o that_o be_v their_o governor_n therefore_o the_o a●my_n have_v not_o resist_v authority_n object_n 2._o that_o they_o have_v vow_v and_o be_v entrust_v to_o maintain_v the_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n have_v break_v their_o vow_n and_o trust_v herein_o answ._n the_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n be_v the_o privilege_n of_o the_o people_n whereby_o through_o their_o lawful_a deputy_n they_o be_v authorise_v to_o oppose_v that_o which_o they_o judge_v to_o be_v tyranny_n in_o their_o governor_n but_o the_o army_n see_v they_o and_o none_o else_o have_v commission_n to_o oppose_v tyranny_n be_v therefore_o the_o lawful_a deputy_n entrust_v to_o oppose_v that_o which_o they_o judge_v tyranny_n in_o their_o governor_n therefore_o they_o have_v perform_v not_o break_v their_o trust_n and_o vow_n to_o god_n and_o man_n in_o thus_o do_v object_n 3._o they_o have_v dissolve_v the_o parliament_n answ._n if_o the_o parliament_n be_v now_o not_o in_o the_o capacity_n of_o a_o formal_a parliament_n or_o people_n meet_v to_o demand_v our_o liberty_n of_o our_o governor_n but_o as_o it_o be_v a_o council_n of_o state_n authorise_v by_o mean_n of_o they_o our_o lawful_a deputy_n take_v up_o arm_n under_o their_o command_n to_o be_v our_o governor_n then_o to_o remove_v such_o evil_a governor_n as_o by_o our_o lawful_a deputy_n we_o judge_v tyrannical_a be_v not_o to_o dissolve_v a_o parliament_n nor_o yet_o to_o destroy_v but_o regulate_v such_o a_o council_n of_o governor_n who_o must_v needs_o in_o this_o case_n without_o such_o a_o removal_n be_v in_o a_o capacity_n to_o destroy_v but_o not_o to_o save_v we_o and_o by_o such_o a_o removal_n be_v restore_v unto_o a_o capacity_n to_o rule_v we_o safe_o now_o i_o say_v if_o this_o be_v true_a all_o which_o be_v either_o clear_a of_o itself_o or_o already_o prove_v than_o the_o army_n have_v not_o by_o this_o act_n dissolve_v the_o parliament_n nor_o yet_o the_o government_n but_o have_v do_v that_o which_o if_o they_o have_v not_o do_v this_o council_n will_v have_v be_v not_o only_o useless_a but_o destructive_a to_o we_o and_o be_v do_v be_v restore_v unto_o a_o capacity_n to_o preserve_v we_o who_o preservation_n be_v the_o only_a end_n of_o our_o fight_n and_o of_o their_o government_n object_n 4._o that_o they_o justify_v the_o king_n in_o that_o former_a something_o parallel_n attempt_v of_o he_o answ._n they_o be_v parallel_n in_o nothing_o but_o this_o that_o the_o king_n act_n be_v in_o as_o high_a a_o degree_n of_o break_v of_o trust_n as_o the_o army_n be_v a_o keep_n of_o trust_n that_o the_o army_n without_o so_o act_v can_v not_o have_v perform_v their_o trust_n i_o have_v already_o prove_v because_o they_o be_v in_o place_n of_o we_o the_o people_n can_v be_v faithful_a to_o we_o but_o in_o remove_v such_o governor_n they_o judge_v tyrannical_a and_o that_o the_o king_n without_o resist_v the_o free_a parliament_n or_o people_n of_o england_n can_v not_o light_o have_v break_v his_o trust_n be_v as_o clear_v but_o sure_o i_o be_o that_o by_o his_o attempt_n to_o remove_v some_o of_o they_o out_o of_o the_o house_n he_o do_v endeavour_v to_o overawe_v the_o rest_n and_o so_o to_o make_v we_o all_o his_o creature_n and_o slave_n by_o our_o own_o consent_n in_o parliament_n be_v so_o evident_a as_o it_o need_v not_o be_v prove_v which_o be_v manifest_o against_o his_o oath_n and_o trust_n object_n 5._o that_o they_o have_v open_v a_o gap_n to_o all_o rebellion_n answ._n for_o the_o lawful_a deputy_n of_o the_o people_n not_o to_o be_v satisfy_v without_o a_o timely_a removal_n of_o such_o as_o they_o judge_v tyrannical_a governor_n be_v so_o far_o from_o open_v a_o gap_n unto_o that_o it_o shut_v the_o door_n against_o rebellion_n which_o otherwise_o they_o judge_v will_v ensue_v for_o that_o be_v proper_o rebellion_n which_o be_v act_v against_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o people_n in_o their_o lawful_a deputy_n upon_o any_o pretence_n whatsoever_o object_n 6._o that_o they_o have_v act_v without_o any_o warrant_n from_o holy_a writ_n answ._n he_o that_o turn_v the_o truth_n with_o the_o wrong_a side_n upward_o and_o in_o that_o posture_n lay_v it_o to_o the_o rule_n of_o god_n word_n must_v needs_o give_v a_o judgement_n quite_o contrary_a to_o truth_n for_o we_o have_v prove_v that_o instead_o of_o resist_v our_o authority_n they_o have_v maintain_v our_o authority_n instead_o of_o break_v their_o trust_n they_o have_v perform_v their_o trust_n instead_o of_o justify_v the_o king_n act_n they_o have_v condemn_v it_o instead_o of_o open_v a_o gap_n to_o rebellion_n they_o have_v shut_v the_o door_n against_o it_o and_o consequent_o it_o follow_v that_o instead_o of_o act_v without_o warrant_n from_o holy_a writ_n they_o have_v act_v by_o authority_n from_o such_o warrant_n and_o now_o not_o doubt_v all_o honest_a christian_n will_v see_v their_o error_n and_o as_o david_n take_v their_o own_o sentence_n to_o themselves_o unto_o who_o it_o belong_v which_o they_o have_v urge_v with_o as_o much_o zeal_n as_o we_o can_v press_v upon_o they_o we_o be_v assure_v they_o will_v yield_v obedience_n unto_o lawful_a authority_n which_o if_o other_o among_o they_o refuse_v to_o do_v shall_v not_o god_n to_o use_v his_o own_o expression_n laugh_v to_o see_v they_o take_v such_o pain_n thus_o to_o sentence_v themselves_o whilst_o they_o rejoice_v in_o conceit_n that_o they_o have_v beat_v his_o cause_n and_o servant_n down_o to_o the_o ground_n and_o shall_v not_o all_o the_o saint_n say_v amen_n even_o so_o be_v it_o lord_n jesus_n finis_fw-la
