i_o answer_v where_o be_v this_o law_n of_o god_n 11._o postscript_n p._n 11._o that_o command_v we_o to_o obey_v usurper_n where_o be_v it_o affirm_v in_o express_a term_n or_o deduce_v from_o thence_o by_o evident_a consequence_n he_o reply_v he_o have_v show_v it_o before_o and_o it_o be_v in_o his_o book_n still_o and_o there_o i_o may_v see_v it_o as_o if_o i_o have_v not_o at_o all_o consider_v what_o he_o have_v say_v in_o his_o book_n in_o my_o answer_n but_o to_o say_v that_o he_o will_v examine_v that_o present_o will_v not_o have_v be_v so_o sharp_a nor_o half_a so_o magisterial_a as_o to_o say_v it_o be_v in_o my_o book_n still_o and_o there_o he_o may_v find_v it_o but_o by_o his_o favour_n i_o can_v find_v that_o he_o have_v show_v it_o either_o in_o his_o former_a or_o in_o his_o new_a book_n and_o that_o he_o have_v only_o say_v it_o but_o not_o show_v it_o will_v appear_v present_o but_o i_o have_v say_v that_o this_o law_n have_v need_n be_v very_o clear_a and_o evident_a and_o the_o dr._n have_v need_n be_v very_o sure_a of_o it_o when_o he_o build_v not_o only_o his_o book_n but_o his_o practice_n upon_o it_o in_o plain_a contradiction_n by_o his_o own_o confession_n to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n he_o reply_v i_o never_o confess_v this_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a that_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n if_o we_o will_v believe_v learned_a judge_n and_o lawyer_n do_v allow_v and_o justify_v it_o i_o do_v know_v what_o he_o mean_v by_o confess_v but_o if_o to_o maintain_v that_o a_o person_n possess_v of_o the_o throne_n contrary_a to_o law_n be_v to_o be_v own_v and_o obey_v as_o king_n if_o to_o write_v a_o book_n in_o justification_n of_o that_o doctrine_n and_o to_o call_v that_o book_n his_o reason_n be_v to_o confess_v it_o then_o the_o dr._n have_v confess_v it_o to_o the_o purpose_n and_o i_o do_v know_v how_o i_o shall_v prove_v this_o except_o i_o shall_v reprint_v his_o case_n of_o allegiance_n with_o a_o new_a title_n and_o call_v it_o his_o confession_n for_o there_o be_v not_o a_o page_n nor_o a_o argument_n but_o confess_v it_o bate_v only_o some_o part_n of_o the_o answer_n to_o this_o objection_n but_o the_o objection_n itself_o and_o the_o first_o answer_n as_o plain_o confess_v it_o as_o word_n can_v do_v the_o ground_n of_o the_o objection_n be_v that_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o therefore_o contrary_a to_o our_o duty_n and_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o answer_n be_v that_o what_o he_o have_v say_v i_o e._n what_o he_o have_v say_v before_o concern_v providence_n and_o usurp_v power_n be_v a_o answer_n to_o it_o and_o it_o be_v so_o when_o the_o law_n do_v not_o contradict_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o he_o never_o confess_v it_o and_o all_o for_o this_o poor_a shift_n because_o in_o answer_n to_o a_o objection_n and_o a_o second_o answer_n too_o foreign_a to_o his_o whole_a book_n he_o have_v say_v that_o according_a to_o the_o opinion_n of_o learned_a judge_n and_o lawyer_n the_o law_n do_v allow_v it_o now_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o his_o hypothesis_n or_o his_o argument_n to_o prove_v it_o proceed_v upon_o any_o such_o allowance_n or_o have_v any_o manner_n of_o respect_n to_o it_o and_o i_o wonder_v what_o the_o question_n of_o providence_n as_o he_o handle_v it_o have_v to_o do_v with_o his_o opinion_n of_o judge_n and_o lawyer_n or_o the_o law_n themselves_o for_o he_o debate_v the_o matter_n in_o direct_a opposition_n and_o contradiction_n to_o humane_a law_n and_o to_o say_v he_o never_o confess_v what_o be_v the_o subject_a matter_n the_o whole_a scope_n and_o drift_n of_o his_o book_n because_o ex_fw-la abundanti_fw-la and_o what_o do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o relate_v to_o his_o hypothesis_n he_o have_v mention_v the_o judge_n and_o lawyer_n for_o the_o law_n be_v a_o mean_a evasion_n and_o if_o the_o dr._n like_v his_o own_o word_n better_o a_o childish_a piece_n of_o sophistry_n and_o argue_v great_a contempt_n of_o his_o reader_n 43._o p._n 43._o the_o dr._n tell_v we_o as_o to_o the_o evidence_n of_o this_o law_n command_v obedience_n to_o usurper_n that_o the_o scripture_n be_v plain_a in_o the_o case_n and_o that_o he_o be_v pretty_a sure_a of_o it_o but_o say_v he_o he_o prove_v the_o scripture_n can_v be_v clear_a in_o the_o point_n my_o word_n be_v that_o it_o be_v not_o clear_a be_v evident_a not_o only_o from_o the_o controversy_n about_o it_o in_o the_o late_a dismal_a time_n of_o usurpation_n that_o say_v the_o dr._n be_v to_o say_v nothing_o can_v be_v clear_a in_o scripture_n which_o be_v matter_n of_o controversy_n and_o thus_o we_o must_v either_o be_v sceptic_n in_o religion_n or_o
