the_o providential_a right_o of_o those_o usurper_n over_o we_o as_o suffice_v to_o settle_v the_o same_o in_o the_o four_o monarchy_n over_o the_o jew_n or_o other_o conquer_a nation_n and_o such_o

because_o he_o have_v take_v a_o oath_n for_o his_o true_a allegiance_n to_o darius_n which_o he_o may_v not_o lawful_o violate_v whilst_o darius_n live_v be_v by_o flight_n escape_v when_o his_o

have_v swear_v to_o darius_n can_v not_o submit_v to_o any_o other_o whilst_o he_o live_v in_o their_o canon_n upon_o it_o but_o they_o recite_v it_o in_o the_o chapter_n lead_v to_o the_o canon_n and_o the_o chapter_n declare_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o convocation_n as_o well_o as_o the_o canon_n and_o 92._o both_o pass_v with_o one_o consent_n and_o be_v approve_v by_o both_o house_n and_o in_o reference_n to_o his_o pretence_n of_o the_o former_a oath_n to_o darius_n not_o to_o be_v infringe_v while_o he_o live_v which_o he_o return_v to_o alexander_n demand_n of_o assistance_n they_o say_v in_o the_o canon_n that_o have_v so_o swear_v he_o may_v not_o lawful_o have_v bear_v arm_n himself_o against_o darius_n or_o have_v solicit_v other_o thereto_o he_o add_v p._n 8._o that_o for_o all_o this_o jaddus_n do_v submit_v when_o alexander_n come_v to_o jerusalem_n and_o that_o before_o darius_n last_n fatal_a overthrow_n when_o in_o his_o flight_n he_o be_v murder_v by_o his_o own_o

at_o last_o be_v upon_o the_o direction_n of_o the_o oracle_n and_o divine_a mandate_n for_o 8._o jaddus_n as_o josephus_n relate_v on_o alexander_n come_v to_o jerusalem_n offer_v sacrifice_n and_o appoint_v the_o people_n by_o supplication_n to_o seek_v to_o god_n for_o help_n and_o direction_n and_o thereupon_o the_o night_n after_o god_n appear_v to_o he_o in_o a_o vision_n and_o direct_v

he_o first_o answer_v they_o may_v put_v upon_o the_o score_n of_o ordinary_a rule_n and_o obligation_n but_o what_o exemption_n he_o after_o practise_v they_o may_v impute_v to_o divine_a interposition_n and_o special_a revelation_n that_o control_v and_o transfer_v all_o human_a right_n and_o title_n 3._o the_o same_o may_v further_o appear_v i_o think_v from_o the_o reason_n they_o give_v why_o antiochus_n usurpation_n 76._o over_o the_o jew_n be_v not_o settle_v viz._n it_o be_v not_o be_v either_o general_o receive_v by_o submission_n or_o settle_v by_o continuance_n for_o submission_n and_o continuance_n or_o prescription_n be_v way_n of_o human_a right_n and_o the_o roman_n who_o have_v receive_v such_o submission_n and_o long_a continuance_n thereof_o 119._o from_o the_o jew_n they_o declare_v be_v their_o lawful_a magistrate_n and_o lawful_a authority_n and_o if_o they_o judge_v antiochus_n usurpation_n not_o settle_v till_o it_o come_v to_o stand_v on_o these_o way_n of_o right_n what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o make_v right_o necessary_a to_o their_o thorough_a settlement_n and_o suitable_a to_o their_o decision_n in_o these_o case_n be_v the_o determination_n of_o the_o same_o convocation_n not_o only_o in_o what_o they_o say_v thereto_o in_o this_o book_n of_o bishop_n overal_n but_o also_o in_o the_o book_n of_o canon_n make_v before_o these_o and_o confirm_v by_o king_n james_n wherein_o they_o determine_v for_o the_o king_n be_v legal_a and_o the_o church_n canonical_a right_n against_o the_o papal_a providential_a usurpation_n as_o i_o shall_v present_o observe_v and_o from_o these_o instance_n he_o may_v see_v how_o the_o convocation_n as_o i_o see_v a_o book_n learned_a pen_n have_v late_o take_v pain_n to_o prove_v more_o at_o large_a when_o in_o case_n of_o usurpation_n or_o government_n of_o a_o ill_a beginning_n they_o declare_v obedience_n due_a to_o they_o if_o once_o they_o be_v thorough_o settle_v take_v right_o into_o the_o consideration_n of_o thorough_a settlement_n not_o admit_v a_o usurper_n to_o be_v thorough_o settle_v in_o his_o usurp_a power_n whilst_o there_o be_v a_o competitor_n alive_a that_o have_v the_o legal_a right_n and_o make_v claim_v of_o it_o the_o extinction_n of_o his_o right_n by_o death_n or_o translation_n of_o it_o by_o his_o own_o consent_n be_v necessary_a in_o their_o account_n before_o the_o other_o can_v be_v settle_v and_o good_a reason_n they_o have_v to_o take_v right_o thereinto_o because_o it_o be_v a_o settlement_n of_o authority_n which_o as_o i_o former_o 3._o show_v at_o large_a be_v to_o go_v by_o right_n and_o if_o the_o consideration_n of_o right_n which_o may_v be_v acquire_v by_o the_o submission_n of_o people_n themselves_o when_o those_o be_v dead_a that_o have_v right_o over_o they_o or_o by_o the_o rightful_a competitor_n come_v themselves_o into_o the_o submission_n must_v come_v into_o their_o settlement_n he_o will_v own_o that_o his_o providential_a right_o can_v have_v no_o confirmation_n from_o all_o those_o passage_n he_o have_v cite_v from_o the_o convocation_n i_o shall_v only_o add_v further_a on_o this_o argument_n that_o ecclesiastical_a authority_n be_v god_n authority_n as_o well_o as_o civil_a for_o god_n have_v institute_v government_n in_o the_o church_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o state_n and_o the_o respective_a ruler_n be_v his_o deputy_n and_o minister_n in_o both_o and_o god_n providence_n equal_o set_v any_o person_n up_o and_o advance_v they_o to_o their_o authority_n in_o each_o case_n and_o i_o think_v will_v be_v allow_v in_o the_o author_n way_n of_o argue_v to_o have_v the_o chief_a and_o overrule_v power_n in_o disposal_n thereof_o and_o then_o in_o any_o dispute_n and_o competition_n of_o person_n for_o church_n authority_n possession_n or_o

therefore_o be_v call_v god_n send_v and_o charge_v or_o give_v and_o take_v and_o the_o like_a in_o the_o foresay_a scripture_n and_o all_o without_o the_o least_o regard_n to_o authorise_v and_o give_v right_o to_o the_o actor_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v expect_v in_o unrighteous_a and_o punishable_a action_n and_o which_o god_n therein_o do_v not_o at_o all_o meddle_v with_o what_o needs_o right_o be_v go_v at_o all_o on_o such_o errand_n and_o violent_o seize_v what_o be_v their_o neighbour_n and_o this_o they_o have_v not_o at_o all_o from_o he_o but_o the_o bend_a and_o disposition_n thereto_o be_v all_o their_o own_o but_o when_o they_o be_v set_v upon_o this_o by_o their_o own_o avarice_n ambition_n or_o other_o corrupt_a passion_n providence_n minister_n accident_n and_o opportunity_n which_o come_v not_o to_o they_o in_o way_n of_o authorise_v but_o of_o try_v as_o they_o do_v to_o every_o one_o else_o in_o a_o unrighteous_a action_n and_o these_o accident_n and_o opportunity_n to_o a_o mind_n so_o prepare_v will_v ascertain_v the_o accomplishment_n and_o limit_n and_o over-rule_v it_o as_o god_n see_v fit_a and_o so_o bear_v out_o all_o these_o scripture_n expression_n of_o god_n accomplish_n without_o any_o thing_n of_o his_o give_v right_o and_o authorise_a which_o no_o one_o must_v expect_v from_o he_o in_o a_o evil_a or_o unrighteous_a thing_n 3._o three_o that_o this_o right_n of_o providence_n or_o mere_a providential_a possession_n without_o other_o title_n do_v not_o set_v aside_o legal_a right_n may_v appear_v from_o the_o authority_n of_o our_o own_o law_n the_o constant_a method_n of_o law_n be_v to_o give_v any_o thing_n in_o dispute_n to_o the_o legal_a title_n against_o the_o illegal_a possessor_n this_o be_v manifest_a in_o all_o private_a right_n if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o legal_a title_n to_o any_o thing_n the_o law_n every_o term_n eject_v the_o illegal_a possessor_n for_o all_o he_o have_v the_o plea_n of_o providential_a possession_n against_o the_o other_o and_o it_o be_v plain_o so_o in_o the_o legal_a title_n to_o the_o crown_n too_o this_o appear_v by_o all_o the_o forementioned_a proof_n of_o the_o law_n look_v upon_o the_o dispossess_v prince_n with_o legal_a title_n still_o as_o king_n and_o make_v the_o allegiance_n of_o all_o the_o subject_n to_o continue_v due_a to_o he_o yea_o of_o the_o usurper_n himself_o if_o he_o be_v a_o subject_a before_o and_o attaint_v he_o as_o well_o as_o they_o for_o treasonable_a breach_n of_o the_o same_o so_o make_v the_o providential_a possessor_n a_o traitor_n to_o the_o legal_a owner_n as_o i_o have_v show_v from_o sundry_a act_n of_o parliament_n and_o judge_v case_n in_o behalf_n of_o the_o dispossess_v rightful_a king_n all_o which_o establish_v the_o legal_a king_n authority_n against_o the_o providential_a usurper_n show_v plain_o that_o our_o law_n think_v better_a of_o a_o legal_a right_n than_o of_o the_o author_n be_v right_a of_o providence_n to_o which_o i_o will_v add_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o parliament_n 39_o h._n 6._o on_o a_o competition_n betwixt_o these_o two_o title_n for_o h._n 6._o have_v the_o providential_a right_o and_o have_v reign_v king_n himself_o for_o almost_o forty_o year_n and_o all_o that_o the_o d._n of_o york_n have_v to_o oppose_v against_o it_o be_v his_o legal_a right_n and_o yet_o that_o parliament_n 18._o confess_v the_o duke_n title_n of_o legal_a right_n can_v not_o be_v defeat_v indeed_o if_o providential_a possession_n be_v the_o best_a right_n there_o will_v be_v very_o little_a use_n of_o the_o legal_a right_n yes_o say_v he_o p._n 15._o it_o will_v bar_v all_o other_o human_a claim_n but_o the_o right_n of_o providence_n according_a to_o his_o notion_n have_v bar_v these_o better_a and_o what_o use_v of_o a_o worse_a title_n to_o do_v that_o which_o a_o better_a have_v do_v before_o if_o a_o prince_n be_v in_o the_o throne_n he_o need_v not_o to_o hold_v by_o it_o for_o his_o providential_a possession_n will_v exclude_v all_o other_o prince_n and_o oblige_v his_o own_o subject_n as_o effectual_o as_o any_o human_a right_n will_v and_o if_o he_o be_v out_o of_o the_o throne_n he_o can_v claim_v by_o it_o because_o it_o be_v the_o possessor_n by_o a_o better_a right_n and_o no_o man_n can_v honest_o claim_v that_o from_o another_o which_o he_o have_v a_o better_a title_n to_o than_o himself_o and_o if_o it_o be_v of_o no_o use_n to_o a_o king_n either_o for_o hold_v a_o crown_n whilst_o he_o have_v it_o or_o for_o recover_v it_o when_o he_o have_v lose_v it_o i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o great_a account_n to_o be_v make_v of_o it_o i_o shall_v now_o 4._o four_o in_o the_o last_o place_n add_v some_o authority_n in_o this_o case_n to_o show_v how_o valid_a these_o legal_a right_n have_v be_v hold_v against_o providential_a usurpation_n and_o possession_n both_o by_o the_o primitive_a and_o our_o own_o church_n as_o for_o the_o primitive_a church_n they_o see_v several_a competition_n of_o these_o two_o title_n in_o one_o part_n or_o other_o of_o the_o empire_n some_o be_v still_o assume_v
