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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 law_n and_o become_v arbitrary_a he_o dive_v

he_o honour_n and_o reverence_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n in_o take_v care_n of_o his_o own_o life_n and_o security_n i_o agree_v with_o you_o that_o all_o possible_a respect_n shall_v be_v pay_v to_o the_o person_n of_o king_n but_o i_o will_v not_o have_v they_o flatter_v nor_o teach_v to_o be_v arbitrary_a i_o will_v not_o have_v they_o tell_v that_o subject_n have_v nothing_o of_o their_o own_o not_o so_o much_o as_o their_o soul_n that_o they_o be_v only_o the_o king_n vassal_n and_o slave_n and_o that_o he_o may_v take_v their_o life_n and_o seize_v their_o fortune_n at_o his_o pleasure_n that_o god_n make_v king_n and_o no_o body_n can_v unmake_v they_o nor_o aught_o to_o oppose_v they_o whatever_o they_o do_v such_o flattery_n and_o sycophantry_n make_v king_n first_o aspire_v and_o then_o tumble_v i_o come_v now_o to_o a_o greek_a word_n which_o be_v here_o employ_v to_o no_o purpose_n but_o only_o to_o show_v that_o you_o be_v a_o learned_a man_n which_o i_o

i_o undertake_v to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v a_o sinless_a rebellion_n and_o that_o the_o word_n be_v not_o always_o take_v in_o a_o ill_a sense_n for_o this_o i_o quote_v 2_o king_n 18.7_o where_o it_o be_v say_v the_o lord_n be_v with_o he_o viz._n hezekiah_n and_o he_o rebel_v against_o the_o king_n of_o assyria_n and_o serve_v he_o not_o and_o you_o say_v it_o be_v not_o certain_o rebellion_n now_o whether_o must_v your_o authority_n or_o the_o scripture_n carry_v it_o if_o you_o have_v say_v this_o be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v strict_o than_o you_o have_v come_v to_o a_o agreement_n with_o i_o as_o to_o that_o matter_n and_o there_o need_v no_o word_n about_o it_o but_o that_o you_o can_v endure_v i_o be_o to_o be_v run_v down_o at_o any_o rate_n and_o that_o with_o triumph_n when_o you_o have_v not_o say_v one_o word_n to_o refute_v i_o and_o all_o along_o i_o observe_v that_o when_o you_o have_v the_o least_o to_o say_v you_o be_v the_o most_o confident_a i_o conclude_v this_o in_o the_o style_n which_o you_o except_v against_o so_o the_o people_n of_o england_n rebel_v against_o k._n james_n for_o god_n be_v with_o they_o i_o now_o draw_v near_o to_o the_o conclusion_n of_o your_o paper_n where_o after_o many_o wind_n and_o double_v like_o a_o hare_n run_v almost_o to_o death_n i_o have_v you_o where_o we_o start_v namely_o at_o the_o act_n forbid_v to_o arm_n against_o the_o king_n upon_o any_o pretence_n whatsoever_o i_o give_v you_o four_o reason_n at_o large_a to_o show_v that_o these_o word_n can_v not_o possible_o be_v understand_v without_o a_o tacit_n reservation_n nor_o have_v you_o offer_v aught_o that_o look_v like_o a_o answer_n to_o any_o of_o they_o the_o first_o you_o have_v quite_o omit_v to_o the_o second_o you_o have_v only_o bring_v a_o comparison_n between_o a_o english_a monarch_n and_o a_o bailiff_n show_v that_o the_o king_n be_v by_o great_a odds_o the_o worse_a man_n of_o the_o two_o the_o three_o you_o have_v fair_o yield_v and_o therein_o give_v up_o your_o cause_n to_o the_o four_o you_o take_v exception_n that_o i_o shall_v say_v the_o king_n be_v king_n by_o law_n and_o yet_o you_o own_o the_o maxim_n that_o the_o king_n can_v do_v no_o wrong_n and_o now_o after_o all_o suspect_v perhaps_o your_o weakness_n and_o inconsistence_n hitherto_o you_o come_v to_o offer_v something_o that_o look_v at_o first_o sight_n like_o a_o dilemma_n but_o unfortunate_o it_o want_v one_o of_o its_o member_n which_o it_o seem_v you_o have_v drop_v in_o great_a precipitation_n the_o substance_n of_o the_o matter_n be_v this_o either_o the_o parliament_n do_v consider_v the_o consequence_n of_o make_v such_o a_o law_n or_o they_o do_v not_o if_o not_o say_v you_o they_o be_v a_o club_n of_o

in_o a_o few_o word_n run_v through_o all_o i_o have_v say_v in_o this_o cause_n a_o admirable_a consequence_n and_o a_o rare_a dilemma_n the_o one_o be_v lame_a of_o a_o side_n and_o the_o other_o

i_o grant_v the_o parliament_n may_v and_o i_o believe_v they_o do_v consider_v the_o consequence_n of_o both_o side_n that_o be_v with_o respect_n to_o the_o king_n and_o the_o people_n and_o though_o it_o be_v possible_a they_o may_v compute_v amiss_o yet_o i_o rather_o incline_v to_o think_v they_o do_v not_o for_o either_o they_o must_v speak_v in_o general_a term_n or_o else_o they_o must_v make_v some_o limitation_n or_o exception_n now_o there_o be_v no_o exception_n to_o be_v make_v but_o only_o this_o in_o case_n the_o king_n shall_v become_v a_o tyrant_n and_o endeavour_v to_o subvert_v the_o government_n but_o how_o shameful_a and_o dangerous_a a_o thing_n must_v it_o have_v be_v to_o mention_v such_o a_o thing_n in_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n it_o may_v have_v
