clear_a demonstration_n that_o by_o a_o thorough_a settlement_n the_o convocation_n do_v not_o mean_v a_o full_a possession_n of_o power_n mere_o for_o they_o say_v when_o a_o government_n be_v full_o

she_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v obey_v but_o to_o be_v resist_v and_o slay_v and_o the_o conclusion_n from_o these_o premise_n be_v that_o to_o be_v full_o possess_v of_o the_o throne_n be_v not_o of_o

because_o the_o dr._n have_v prove_v it_o but_o i_o doubt_v his_o argument_n be_v lose_v for_o he_o assert_n that_o the_o possession_n of_o the_o throne_n and_o the_o submission_n of_o the_o people_n

the_o convocation_n say_v not_o a_o word_n of_o she_o through_o settlement_n nor_o do_v think_v she_o settle_v on_o the_o throne_n it_o be_v as_o plain_a as_o the_o sun_n that_o by_o a_o thorough_a

as_o to_o their_o obligation_n the_o subject_n in_o other_o country_n be_v as_o much_o oblige_v to_o observe_v their_o political_a law_n as_o the_o people_n of_o judah_n be_v they_o though_o the_o

this_o he_o who_o by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n have_v a_o right_a to_o the_o crown_n have_v a_o right_a to_o our_o allegiance_n and_o whether_o he_o be_v in_o or_o out_o of_o possession_n to_o

natural_a prince_n and_o a_o violation_n of_o that_o precept_n to_o give_v to_o every_o one_o their_o due_a to_o this_o the_o dr._n answer_v here_o be_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v 1._o the_o right_n to_o the_o crown_n 2._o the_o right_n to_o allegiance_n as_o for_o the_o first_o the_o substance_n of_o his_o answer_n be_v the_o fundamental_a prejudice_n and_o mistake_v seem_v to_o be_v the_o make_v no_o difference_n between_o a_o legal_a right_n to_o the_o crown_n and_o a_o legal_a right_n of_o subject_n to_o their_o estate_n but_o the_o dr._n apprehend_v a_o great_a difference_n that_o in_o settle_v a_o estate_n nothing_o more_o be_v 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 nothing_o but_o a_o legal_a descent_n and_o possession_n 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 yet_o he_o give_v no_o man_n a_o right_a to_o a_o estate_n which_o he_o get_v by_o fraud_n nor_o exempt_v they_o from_o legal_a punishment_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 providence_n to_o the_o care_n of_o public_a government_n but_o if_o a_o mere_a humane_a right_n can_v make_v a_o king_n but_o god_n authority_n make_v a_o king_n if_o god_n reserve_v this_o authority_n in_o his_o own_o hand_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 sufficient_a reason_n to_o adhere_v to_o a_o prince_n god_n have_v remove_v from_o the_o throne_n nor_o the_o want_n of_o a_o legal_a right_n 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 now_o here_o
conclusion_n be_v draw_v from_o one_o of_o they_o for_o how_o do_v it_o follow_v because_o god_n have_v annex_v his_o authority_n to_o the_o legal_a office_n therefore_o no_o prince_n have_v his_o authority_n who_o be_v not_o in_o possession_n of_o the_o throne_n be_v there_o any_o more_o a_o inseparable_a connexion_n between_o the_o legal_a office_n of_o a_o king_n and_o possession_n of_o

for_o it_o be_v by_o virtue_n of_o that_o very_o entail_v that_o joash_n have_v a_o right_n to_o the_o crown_n and_o have_v there_o be_v no_o such_o entail_v joash_n will_v have_v have_v no_o more_o right_o than_o athaliah_n herself_o and_o therefore_o the_o mention_v of_o it_o be_v proper_a and_o necessary_a it_o be_v upon_o that_o account_n that_o joash_n be_v their_o lawful_a king_n and_o athaliah_n be_v a_o usurper_n and_o it_o be_v high_o reasonable_a that_o jehoiada_n shall_v justify_v his_o proceed_n upon_o it_o but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o the_o purpose_n do_v they_o mention_v this_o entail_v in_o opposition_n to_o humane_a entail_v not_o a_o word_n of_o that_o and_o how_o then_o can_v he_o say_v that_o his_o distinction_n and_o answer_n be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o convocation_n for_o they_o speak_v it_o in_o one_o sense_n and_o he_o in_o another_o they_o speak_v it_o without_o opposition_n to_o humane_a entail_v and_o he_o pure_o in_o opposition_n to_o they_o they_o urge_v it_o and_o so_o do_v jehoiada_n to_o justify_v his_o proceed_n as_o act_v
to_o this_o i_o answer_v this_o be_v no_o answer_n to_o the_o main_a point_n the_o question_n be_v whether_o in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o convocation_n a_o thorough_a settlement_n by_o what_o mean_v soever_o attain_v do_v not_o oblige_v the_o subject_n of_o judah_n to_o obedience_n as_o much_o as_o in_o any_o other_o country_n and_o though_o contrary_a to_o the_o entail_v on_o david_n posterity_n and_o it_o be_v plain_a they_o think_v so_o for_o they_o urge_v the_o very_a same_o duty_n of_o obedience_n and_o nonresistance_n to_o the_o babylonian_n and_o the_o roman_n as_o they_o do_v to_o the_o king_n of_o david_n family_n the_o babylonian_n and_o roman_n when_o their_o government_n be_v thorough_o settle_v among_o they_o their_o authority_n be_v as_o sacred_a and_o irresistible_a as_o joash_n or_o any_o other_o of_o their_o king_n who_o be_v so_o by_o the_o divine_a entail_v and_o let_v the_o dr._n if_o he_o can_v show_v i_o any_o one_o duty_n of_o subject_n which_o they_o require_v as_o due_a to_o the_o king_n of_o judah_n by_o the_o divine_a entail_v which_o they_o do_v not_o also_o require_v as_o equal_o due_a to_o the_o babylonian_n and_o roman_n which_o be_v clear_a to_o a_o demonstration_n that_o they_o think_v of_o no_o such_o difference_n in_o this_o matter_n but_o that_o a_o thorough_a settlement_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o every_o way_n as_o valid_a as_o in_o any_o other_o country_n and_o the_o inference_n be_v plain_a that_o therefore_o whatever_o possession_n of_o power_n athaliah_n have_v and_o whatever_o submission_n there_o be_v of_o the_o people_n to_o she_o afore_o that_o the_o dr._n be_v resolve_v to_o suppose_v they_o do_v not_o mean_a that_o to_o be_v the_o thorough_a settlement_n which_o have_v god_n authority_n and_o to_o which_o obedience_n be_v due_a for_o they_o urge_v obedience_n and_o nonresistance_n to_o the_o babylonian_n and_o roman_n but_o justify_v the_o depose_n and_o slay_v of_o athaliah_n but_o to_o this_o which_o be_v the_o main_a question_n the_o dr._n say_v not_o one_o word_n and_o all_o that_o he_o say_v be_v that_o when_o they_o be_v at_o their_o own_o choice_n and_o have_v power_n they_o be_v bind_v to_o take_v the_o king_n on_o who_o god_n entail_v the_o crown_n but_o when_o they_o be_v under_o force_n no_o entail_v tho_o make_v by_o god_n himself_o can_v bind_v they_o and_o what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o the_o convocation_n speak_v of_o a_o thorough_a settlement_n without_o any_o respect_n to_o the_o difference_n between_o divine_a and_o humane_a entail_v what_o if_o the_o dr._n to_o save_v a_o better_a answer_n have_v find_v a_o difference_n between_o choice_n and_o force_n the_o convocation_n take_v as_o little_a notice_n of_o this_o distinction_n as_o it_o do_v of_o the_o other_o but_o the_o dr._n have_v a_o extraordinary_a faculty_n at_o distinguish_v when_o the_o case_n of_o athaliah_n and_o joash_n press_v he_o than_o he_o be_v for_o distinguish_v between_o divine_a and_o humane_a entail_v and_o athaliah_n may_v be_v depose_v and_o slay_v because_o she_o be_v a_o usurper_n against_o a_o divine_a entail_v and_o her_o government_n be_v a_o nullity_n when_o the_o right_a heir_n appear_v when_o he_o be_v press_v with_o the_o instance_n of_o the_o babylonian_n and_o roman_n who_o according_a to_o he_o be_v likewise_o usurper_n against_o the_o same_o divine_a entail_v than_o he_o be_v for_o distinguish_v between_o choice_n and_o force_n when_o they_o be_v at_o their_o own_o choice_n and_o have_v power_n they_o be_v oblige_v to_o take_v the_o king_n by_o god_n entail_v when_o under_o force_n god_n entail_v do_v not_o bind_v they_o so_o that_o this_o last_o distinction_n have_v eat_v up_o the_o former_a and_o the_o whole_a matter_n be_v resolve_v into_o force_n if_o they_o have_v power_n than_o the_o government_n of_o the_o usurper_n be_v at_o a_o end_n and_o a_o nullity_n and_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o prosecute_v and_o depose_v the_o usurper_n but_o if_o they_o have_v not_o power_n the_o usurper_n be_v a_o very_a good_a government_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v obey_v for_o conscience_n sake_n and_o so_o we_o be_v furnish_v with_o admirable_a measure_n of_o obedience_n and_o government_n if_o they_o have_v power_n they_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o resist_v and_o depose_v if_o they_o be_v under_o force_n they_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o submit_v and_o obey_v so_o that_o either_o way_n the_o rule_n of_o conscience_n be_v not_o a_o divine_a entail_v but_o only_o

the_o dr._n do_v not_o care_n to_o make_v that_o a_o difference_n and_o he_o express_o affirm_v the_o contrary_a for_o private_a subject_n when_o the_o prince_n and_o government_n of_o the_o nation_n

why_o then_o will_v not_o the_o force_n come_v from_o athaliahs_n quarter_n do_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o take_v off_o the_o bind_a power_n of_o the_o divine_a entail_v as_o well_o as_o when_o it_o

nation_n the_o law_n the_o entail_v be_v the_o same_o and_o there_o be_v force_n in_o one_o case_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o why_o true_o there_o be_v this_o difference_n that_o athaliah_n be_v

we_o see_v what_o kind_n of_o subject_n this_o doctrine_n make_v of_o the_o jew_n to_o the_o babylonian_n and_o roman_n he_o tell_v we_o king_n set_v up_o by_o providence_n in_o kingdom_n 35._o p._n

and_o aught_o to_o have_v be_v depose_v and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o difference_n be_v manifest_a because_o the_o crown_n of_o judah_n be_v entail_v but_o the_o crown_n of_o israel_n be_v not_o and_o the_o possession_n of_o the_o throne_n by_o athaliah_n be_v in_o prejudice_n of_o the_o right_a heir_n but_o the_o possession_n by_o baasha_n in_o israel_n be_v not_o for_o no_o person_n have_v a_o better_a right_n to_o it_o than_o himself_o and_o this_o be_v a_o plain_a answer_n to_o that_o tedious_a account_n the_o doctor_n give_v in_o the_o two_o next_o page_n of_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n and_o israel_n after_o the_o division_n of_o the_o ten_o tribe_n whereas_o the_o plain_a difference_n be_v that_o the_o one_o be_v hereditary_a and_o not_o the_o

a_o good_a reason_n why_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n do_v not_o take_v effect_n against_o legal_a right_n but_o how_o will_v this_o agree_v with_o the_o drs._n doctrine_n and_o argument_n do_v

for_o god_n be_v proprietor_n of_o all_o the_o world_n and_o all_o the_o world_n be_v he_o as_o well_o as_o authority_n and_o no_o man_n can_v have_v a_o right_n to_o any_o part_n of_o it_o but_o as_o

rule_n and_o method_n he_o himself_o have_v warrant_v and_o direct_v there_o be_v indeed_o some_o case_n wherein_o the_o law_n make_v a_o property_n and_o god_n do_v not_o but_o this_o be_v quite_o contrary_a to_o the_o drs._n hypothesis_n and_o confute_v it_o and_o that_o be_v when_o by_o fraud_n and_o injustice_n and_o corrupt_a mean_n man_n gain_v estate_n they_o may_v have_v a_o title_n in_o

this_o plain_a and_o undeniable_a doctrine_n sit_v hard_o upon_o more_o principle_n than_o one_o of_o the_o drs._n and_o from_o thence_o it_o plain_o follow_v he_o that_o attain_v any_o thing_n by_o

they_o be_v not_o advance_v by_o the_o blessing_n but_o by_o the_o permission_n of_o god_n for_o god_n never_o bless_v any_o wicked_a art_n and_o therefore_o such_o man_n prosperity_n be_v very_o

whether_o in_o defect_n of_o the_o ancient_a royal_a issue_n etc._n etc._n from_o hence_o these_o thing_n be_v plain_a 1._o that_o a_o usurper_n may_v just_o be_v resist_v and_o depose_v and_o

who_o very_a essence_n and_o constitution_n consist_v in_o resist_v they_o and_o this_o strike_v at_o the_o root_n of_o both_o the_o doctor_n book_n 2._o that_o the_o right_a heir_n or_o the_o king_n out_o of_o possession_n be_v the_o high_a power_n
and_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n for_o otherwise_o it_o can_v not_o be_v say_v that_o a_o intruder_n into_o the_o office_n royal_a can_v never_o usurp_v or_o continue_v his_o power_n otherwise_o then_o by_o resist_v some_o high_a power_n or_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o as_o he_o afterward_o express_v it_o with_o respect_n to_o a_o government_n by_o succession_n he_o the_o usurper_n
