that_o be_v and_o be_v in_o the_o actual_a administration_n of_o it_o which_o be_v the_o only_a evidence_n we_o have_v that_o they_o have_v receive_v it_o from_o god_n for_o what_o though_o passive_n obedience_n be_v due_a to_o god_n authority_n be_v it_o therefore_o due_a to_o usurpation_n and_o actual_a administration_n which_o be_v not_o god_n authority_n and_o to_o use_v some_o of_o the_o

doctrine_n of_o nonresistance_n and_o passive_a obedience_n be_v found_v on_o a_o irresistible_a authority_n consider_v then_o what_o be_v the_o right_n of_o a_o irresistible_a authority_n and_o what_o the_o duty_n of_o passive_a obedience_n 1._o the_o right_n of_o sovereign_n and_o irresistible_a authority_n be_v that_o he_o can_v forfeit_v his_o crown_n that_o he_o can_v be_v judge_v nor_o depose_v by_o his_o subject_n and_o therefore_o when_o once_o king_n he_o be_v always_o so_o till_o death_n or_o a_o voluntary_a and_o legal_a resignation_n 2._o nonresistance_n do_v not_o mere_o signify_v not_o to_o fight_v against_o the_o king_n but_o 1._o that_o upon_o no_o pretence_n we_o must_v renounce_v his_o right_n and_o 2._o must_v never_o set_v his_o crown_n upon_o another_o head_n 3._o must_v not_o transfer_v our_o allegiance_n to_o another_o now_o the_o dr._n will_v not_o except_v against_o this_o doctrine_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o its_o author_n and_o he_o may_v please_v to_o observe_v that_o we_o be_v not_o so_o apt_a to_o invent_v as_o he_o be_v to_o forget_v and_o he_o may_v try_v if_o he_o can_v solve_v the_o matter_n by_o his_o distinction_n between_o zeal_n and_o faction_n but_o if_o this_o be_v the_o case_n than_o these_o thing_n necessary_o follow_v 1._o that_o transfer_v of_o passive_a obedience_n from_o the_o rightful_a king_n to_o the_o usurper_n be_v a_o proposition_n inconsistent_a with_o itself_o and_o make_v up_o of_o contradiction_n passive_a obedience_n signify_v one_o thing_n and_o transfer_v it_o the_o clean_a contrary_n and_o to_o talk_v of_o transfer_v passive_a obedience_n be_v just_a as_o if_o we_o shall_v say_v fight_v nonresistance_n or_o rebellious_a allegiance_n 2._o the_o argument_n from_o the_o doctrine_n of_o passive_a obedience_n equal_o affect_v his_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n as_o his_o interpretation_n of_o the_o convocation_n for_o passive_a obedience_n be_v as_o evident_o and_o plain_o enjoin_v by_o the_o scripture_n as_o by_o the_o convocation_n and_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o i_o refer_v myself_o to_o dr._n sherlock_n case_n of_o resistance_n and_o if_o his_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n be_v irreconcilab_n e_o with_o the_o doctrine_n of_o passive_a obedience_n than_o it_o be_v not_o reconcilable_a with_o scripture_n and_o then_o it_o ●●ot_v true_a and_o if_o to_o fight_v against_o and_o kill_v a_o king_n to_o who_o we_o have_v swear_v allegiance_n and_o who_o we_o still_o acknowledge_v to_o have_v a_o legal_a right_n and_o title_n be_v not_o passive_a obedience_n than_o the_o drs._n expound_v the_o 13_o to_o the_o roman_n of_o usurp_v power_n in_o opposition_n to_o a_o ●●g●tful_a king_n be_v not_o the_o sense_n of_o scripture_n but_o his_o own_o private_a

way_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a they_o do_v not_o teach_v both_o i●_n they_o be_v inconsistent_a and_o therefore_o if_o the_o dr._n will_v regular_o prove_v that_o they_o do_v teach_v both_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v make_v it_o appear_v by_o show_v they_o be_v not_o inconsistent_a and_o not_o come_v off_o with_o a_o short_a reply_n it_o be_v certain_a they_o do_v so_o my_o next_o argument_n be_v that_o this_o interpretation_n repreach_v the_o virtue_n and_o loyalty_n of_o those_o admirable_a man_n who_o suffer_v between_o the_o year_n 42_o and_o 60._o the_o dr._n reply_v and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o convocation_n for_o no_o doubt_n the_o convocation_n in_o 603._o have_v great_a regard_n to_o the_o loyalty_n of_o these_o who_o suffer_v between_o 42._o and_o 60._o by_o a_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n i_o suppose_v a_o very_a wise_a observation_n and_o why_o may_v not_o the_o convocation_n in_o 603._o have_v regard_n to_o the_o loyalty_n of_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o 42._o or_o 60._o or_o 90_o either_o if_o they_o design_v their_o book_n as_o a_o direction_n for_o practice_n it_o must_v regard_v future_a time_n as_o well_o 42._o as_o 603._o and_o as_o well_o 90_o as_o 42._o but_o the_o dr._n know_v well_o enough_o the_o question_n be_v concern_v a_o principle_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o here_o we_o have_v a_o body_n of_o man_n undoubted_a son_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o as_o great_a and_o eminent_a for_o piety_n and_o virtue_n as_o that_o church_n ever_o breed_v and_o most_o of_o they_o live_v at_o the_o time_n of_o this_o convocation_n and_o some_o of_o they_o probable_o member_n of_o it_o and_o here_o be_v a_o case_n where_o their_o sense_n of_o this_o

who_o give_v such_o illustrious_a evidence_n of_o their_o own_o sense_n of_o it_o or_o from_o peter_n bradshaw_n martial_n or_o milton_n and_o i_o shall_v crave_v leave_n to_o believe_v except_o the_o

for_o do_v any_o thing_n example_n give_v some_o more_o strength_n and_o thus_o the_o example_n of_o jaddus_n may_v be_v a_o argument_n when_o other_o example_n be_v none_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o

the_o drs._n favour_n the_o example_n of_o these_o great_a and_o good_a man_n be_v a_o argument_n and_o a_o very_a strong_a one_o to_o prove_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o the_o point_n of_o submission_n to_o usurp_v power_n and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o confute_v all_o the_o drs._n little_a reason_n to_o the_o contrary_a he_o urge_v some_o argument_n to_o prove_v the_o

between_o live_v peaceable_o and_o quiet_o and_o become_a party_n to_o the_o usurpation_n side_v with_o it_o against_o the_o legal_a king_n plead_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o and_o swear_v to_o be_v

always_o a_o reproach_n to_o vice_n and_o error_n but_o perhaps_o the_o dr_n will_v have_v have_v i_o justify_v the_o exclusion_n of_o charles_n the_o second_o and_o the_o adherence_n to_o the_o usurper_n against_o he_o and_o this_o indeed_o will_v not_o have_v reproach_v they_o but_o it_o will_v have_v reproach_v much_o honest_a and_o better_a man_n than_o they_o it_o will_v have_v reproach_v all_o those_o gallant_a and_o loyal_a sufferer_n for_o their_o king_n and_o the_o law_n but_o no_o matter_n for_o they_o they_o be_v not_o for_o the_o drs_n purpose_n now_o but_o he_o be_v grow_v on_o a_o sudden_a so_o very_o tender_a of_o the_o usurper_n party_n that_o they_o must_v suffer_v no_o reproach_n and_o rather_o than_o that_o the_o best_a man_n of_o our_o church_n must_v not_o be_v commend_v for_o fear_v it_o shall_v reflect_v on_o they_o but_o say_v the_o dr._n the_o king_n find_v a_o great_a many_o true_a friend_n and_o loyal_a person_n at_o his_o return_n among_o

against_o he_o but_o because_o they_o be_v his_o true_a friend_n i_o e._n because_o they_o desert_v the_o usurper_n for_o they_o can_v not_o be_v true_a friend_n and_o loyal_a to_o both_o and_o if_o

word_v this_o it_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o understand_v what_o he_o mean_v he_o say_v they_o be_v true_a friend_n and_o loyal_a person_n upon_o his_o return_n do_v he_o mean_v that_o be_v then_o so_o only_o but_o before_o his_o return_n and_o in_o the_o time_n of_o usurpation_n be_v virulent_a and_o mortal_a enemy_n to_o he_o but_o so_o soon_o as_o he_o return_v they_o become_v friend_n and_o loyal_n methinks_v this_o be_v no_o extraordinary_a character_n they_o be_v his_o friend_n when_o he_o can_v advance_v they_o but_o in_o his_o extremity_n and_o when_o he_o have_v need_n of_o they_o they_o be_v his_o enemy_n i._n e._n they_o be_v true_a friend_n to_o themselves_o and_o not_o to_o he_o and_o such_o a_o kind_n of_o friendship_n if_o it_o must_v not_o be_v reproach_v do_v not_o

they_o act_n upon_o other_o principle_n and_o though_o i_o consider_v no_o body_n principle_n but_o the_o drs._n 2._o the_o next_o advice_n be_v if_o our_o author_n will_v argue_v from_o example_n he_o ought_v not_o only_o to_o consider_v what_o be_v do_v but_o upon_o what_o principle_n they_o do_v it_o whether_o they_o be_v all_o of_o our_o author_n mind_n that_o it_o be_v absolute_o

in_o fact_n they_o refuse_v to_o submit_v to_o the_o usurper_n in_o the_o throne_n and_o adhere_v to_o the_o legal_a king_n out_o of_o the_o throne_n and_o if_o the_o dr._n can_v find_v any_o other_o reason_n or_o assertion_n of_o they_o for_o
but_o make_v it_o serve_v as_o a_o proof_n that_o the_o convoc_n by_o settlement_n mean_v a_o illegal_a settlement_n and_o this_o be_v pure_a reason_n the_o convoc_n mean_v a_o illegal_a settlement_n
