A45944	The interest of the English nation under the happy government of King William III once more asserted in answer to the challenge of a Jacobite : wherein is proved that the law which forbids taking up arms against the King upon any pretence whatsoever is consistent with the late revolution / by Philo-kalo-basileos.

obedience_n with_o a_o reserve_v it_o will_v have_v imply_v that_o husband_n and_o parent_n may_v prove_v so_o wicked_a as_o to_o command_v they_o sinful_a thing_n which_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v suppose_v and_o then_o ill-disposed_a child_n may_v disobey_v upon_o slight_a occasion_n and_o fancy_v all_o such_o command_n to_o be_v unjust_a as_o they_o have_v not_o a_o mind_n to_o observe_v if_o marriage_n do_v oblige_v the_o party_n to_o live_v together_o till_o death_n or_o adultery_n shall_v make_v a_o separation_n and_o that_o it_o be_v so_o express_v in_o the_o office_n this_o will_v be_v a_o odious_a and_o shameful_a insinuation_n that_o one_o or_o both_o of_o they_o may_v prove_v so_o wicked_a as_o to_o give_v occasion_n of_o divorce_n and_o if_o the_o law_n have_v say_v thou_o shall_v not_o steal_v without_o extreme_a necessity_n this_o will_v have_v be_v take_v for_o little_a less_o than_o a_o licence_n tosteal_n every_o one_o judge_v for_o himself_o of_o his_o own_o

mean_n to_o be_v mention_v or_o express_v and_o thus_o it_o be_v in_o the_o case_n before_o we_o for_o if_o the_o law_n have_v say_v thou_o shall_v not_o take_v arm_n against_o the_o king_n upon_o any_o pretence_n whatsoever_o except_o the_o king_n design_n to_o subvert_v the_o government_n this_o will_v have_v be_v a_o disloyal_a intimation_n that_o the_o king_n may_v prove_v a_o tyrant_n and_o will_v have_v give_v encouragement_n to_o the_o people_n to_o suspect_v his_o intention_n and_o many_o time_n without_o any_o cause_n to_o censure_v his_o action_n yet_o that_o thus_o it_o must_v be_v understand_v will_v appear_v by_o the_o reason_n follow_v 1._o the_o first_o be_v this_o that_o if_o it_o be_v understand_v in_o the_o utmost_a force_n and_o latitude_n that_o the_o word_n will_v bear_v it_o make_v void_a all_o other_o law_n nay_o even_o the_o law_n of_o godcannot_a stand_n in_o its_o way_n if_o you_o take_v it_o by_o the_o wrong_n handle_v it_o will_v be_v so_o ill_a condition_a as_o to_o suffer_v no_o law_n but_o itself_o the_o design_n of_o the_o law_n be_v to_o secure_v to_o every_o man_n his_o right_n it_o be_v by_o law_n that_o we_o attend_v our_o calling_n that_o we_o eat_v and_o sleep_v in_o quietness_n that_o we_o enjoy_v what_o we_o call_v our_o own_o that_o we_o can_v serve_v god_n in_o peace_n and_o that_o our_o church_n be_v not_o turn_v into_o idol-temple_n but_o now_o if_o we_o must_v upon_o no_o account_n whatsoever_o defend_v these_o right_n when_o they_o be_v invade_v what_o benefit_n have_v we_o by_o the_o law_n or_o to_o what_o end_n serve_v it_o if_o we_o must_v upon_o no_o pretence_n whatsoever_o even_o at_o the_o utmost_a extremity_n resist_v the_o illegal_a proceed_n of_o the_o prince_n then_o be_v the_o whole_a law_n of_o england_n no_o more_o but_o shame_n and_o whatsoever_o we_o have_v we_o enjoy_v it_o only_o at_o the_o king_n discretion_n and_o during_o his_o pleasure_n nay_o all_o the_o society_n of_o man_n in_o england_n be_v no_o more_o but_o as_o so_o many_o herd_n of_o cattle_n to_o labour_n for_o the_o use_v and_o to_o be_v slaughter_v at_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o king_n so_o that_o either_o we_o must_v qualify_v that_o article_n of_o the_o law_n or_o give_v up_o all_o the_o rest_n 2._o there_o be_v a_o difference_n as_o all_o man_n know_v between_o the_o power_n of_o make_v law_n and_o the_o power_n of_o execute_v the_o same_o the_o latter_a rest_v entire_o in_o the_o king_n but_o not_o the_o former_a now_o with_o respect_n to_o the_o executive_a power_n we_o yield_v if_o that_o will_v please_v our_o adversary_n that_o the_o king_n be_v not_o to_o be_v resist_v upon_o any_o pretence_n whatsoever_o whilst_o he_o be_v execute_v the_o law_n no_o man_n may_v say_v unto_o he_o what_o do_v thou_o whatever_o colour_n there_o may_v be_v of_o maladministration_n that_o can_v be_v no_o just_a ground_n of_o resistance_n because_o the_o law_n provide_v a_o remedy_n and_o the_o minister_n must_v answer_v for_o it_o but_o then_o this_o can_v never_o be_v extend_v to_o the_o legislative_a power_n unless_o you_o will_v suppose_v that_o the_o parliament_n when_o they_o make_v that_o law_n intend_v not_o only_o to_o cancel_v all_o the_o rest_n but_o never_o to_o make_v any_o more_o this_o have_v be_v a_o final_a dissolution_n of_o all_o parliament_n and_o of_o the_o government_n itself_o it_o have_v put_v all_o into_o the_o king_n hand_n and_o make_v he_o arbitrary_a by_o a_o law_n as_o if_o they_o have_v enact_v let_v the_o king_n henceforward_o make_v law_n without_o a_o parliament_n let_v he_o pull_v down_o the_o church_n and_o set_v up_o a_o idol_n let_v he_o alienate_v his_o kingdom_n and_o sell_v his_o people_n for_o slave_n or_o any_o thing_n else_o what_o he_o please_v nay_o if_o he_o be_v seize_v with_o a_o frenzy_n and_o kill_v the_o people_n about_o he_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v resist_v upon_o any_o pretence_n whatsoever_o and_o if_o he_o shall_v attempt_v to_o kill_v himself_o there_o be_v no_o mean_n of_o prevention_n no_o touch_v he_o no_o lay_v hand_n upon_o he_o though_o it_o be_v for_o his_o safety_n see_v what_o extremity_n and_o absurdity_n this_o doctrine_n of_o our_o adversary_n lead_v to_o but_o if_o they_o will_v admit_v of_o a_o accommodation_n we_o be_v content_a to_o divide_v the_o truth_n and_o let_v they_o take_v one_o half_a but_o we_o will_v never_o yield_v the_o other_o the_o king_n then_o in_o execute_v the_o law_n make_v according_a to_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o government_n be_v not_o to_o be_v resist_v on_o any_o account_n whatsoever_o but_o if_o they_o will_v have_v the_o king_n to_o make_v law_n by_o himself_o and_o do_v what_o he_o please_v without_o resistance_n they_o talk_v without_o book_n and_o will_v never_o be_v convince_v till_o they_o be_v go_v to_o the_o gallow_n or_o to_o a_o stake_n 3._o the_o king_n be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o man_n can_v do_v much_o harm_n by_o his_o own_o proper_a strength_n so_o that_o suppose_v he_o to_o be_v a_o tyrant_n i_o never_o can_v fear_v that_o he_o will_v come_v in_o person_n and_o take_v away_o my_o life_n or_o estate_n he_o must_v then_o act_v by_o commissioner_n now_o these_o commissioner_n must_v be_v due_o qualify_v person_n and_o right_o commissioned_n according_a to_o law_n to_o do_v some_o legal_a act._n come_v then_o under_o these_o circumstance_n they_o be_v god_n minister_n to_o i_o for_o my_o good_a in_o resist_v they_o i_o resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o must_v expect_v damnation_n and_o judgement_n for_o so_o do_v and_o here_o again_o i_o suppose_v the_o jacobite_n and_o i_o be_v perfect_o agree_v but_o what_o if_o these_o pretend_a commissioner_n shall_v happen_v to_o be_v papist_n french_a dragoon_n or_o rapparees_n and_o come_v without_o any_o legal_a commission_n to_o robb_n i_o by_o virtue_n of_o a_o write_n which_o they_o call_v a_o commission_n under_o the_o king_n hand_n and_o seal_n what_o then_o why_o true_o then_o i_o may_v happen_v to_o be_v rob_v or_o murder_v and_o what_o say_v our_o self-denying_a adversary_n to_o this_o they_o say_v i_o must_v patient_o suffer_v and_o submit_v for_o though_o these_o person_n be_v not_o qualify_v according_a to_o law_n yet_o they_o act_n according_a to_o the_o king_n pleasure_n and_o i_o must_v lie_v at_o their_o foot_n yes_o so_o i_o will_v if_o i_o can_v not_o help_v it_o but_o so_o will_v i_o do_v at_o the_o foot_n of_o high-way-man_n and_o from_o they_o i_o shall_v find_v more_o mercy_n thief_n and_o robber_n spoil_v some_o particular_a person_n but_o these_o be_v the_o villain_n that_o destroy_v government_n be_v it_o not_o for_o these_o the_o king_n can_v do_v no_o harm_n they_o be_v devour_v beast_n and_o savage_a monster_n break_v loose_a and_o aught_o to_o be_v treat_v according_o 4._o i_o shall_v add_v in_o the_o four_o place_n that_o the_o king_n of_o england_n be_v king_n by_o law_n it_o be_v by_o law_n that_o he_o wear_v a_o crown_n and_o be_v clothe_v with_o royal_a power_n but_o if_o he_o subvert_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o government_n he_o take_v away_o the_o foot_n he_o stand_v upon_o he_o destroy_v his_o own_o authority_n and_o cease_v to_o be_v a_o king_n he_o be_v then_o but_o like_o robin-hood_n a_o outlaw_n for_o a_o king_n without_o law_n imply_v a_o contradiction_n the_o matter_n then_o in_o short_a be_v this_o the_o king_n execute_v the_o law_n be_v not_o to_o be_v resist_v upon_o any_o pretence_n whatsoever_o but_o if_o he_o lie_v aside_o the_o
