1._o the_o late_a author_n of_o the_o original_a and_o end_n of_o civil_a power_n under_o the_o name_n of_o eutactus_fw-la philodemius_fw-la have_v think_v fit_a to_o question_v two_o thing_n set_v down_o by_o doctor_n hammond_n in_o his_o address_n to_o the_o general_n and_o counsel_n of_o war_n 5._o the_o first_o be_v this_o affirmation_n that_o the_o jew_n under_o god_n own_o government_n may_v whole_o give_v up_o himself_o and_o his_o freedom_n to_o his_o master_n will_v the_o power_n of_o life_n be_v only_o exempt_v and_o by_o have_v his_o ear_n bore_v may_v of_o a_o freeman_n become_v a_o slave_n for_o ever_o 2._o the_o second_o be_v this_o question_n whether_o ever_o any_o man_n be_v by_o god_n or_o nature_n invest_v with_o power_n over_o his_o own_o life_n i_o e._n 18._o to_o take_v away_o his_o own_o life_n or_o to_o kill_v himself_o 3._o this_o affirmation_n and_o this_o question_n he_o willing_o acknowledge_v and_o be_v content_a that_o the_o question_n shall_v be_v interpret_v a_o downright_a negation_n that_o never_o any_o man_n be_v by_o god_n or_o nature_n invest_v with_o power_n over_o his_o own_o life_n or_o power_n to_o kill_v himself_o and_o have_v thus_o confess_v the_o citation_n as_o far_o as_o concern_v he_o it_o remain_v that_o i_o proceed_v to_o justify_v both_o part_n of_o it_o and_o to_o that_o end_n i_o shall_v think_v myself_o sufficient_o fortify_v by_o two_o advantage_n which_o that_o author_n have_v be_v please_v to_o allow_v i_o in_o this_o matter_n 4._o first_o that_o it_o be_v not_o any_o opinion_n of_o doctor_n hammond_n but_o the_o plain_a word_n of_o scripture_n which_o be_v under_o his_o name_n thus_o oppose_v by_o this_o author_n in_o both_o place_n the_o former_a be_v in_fw-la terminis_fw-la exodus_fw-la 21._o at_o the_o beginning_n if_o the_o servant_n shall_v plain_o say_v i_o love_v my_o master_n etc._n etc._n i_o will_v not_o go_v out_o free_a then_o his_o master_n shall_v bring_v he_o to_o the_o judge_n etc._n etc._n and_o his_o master_n shall_v bore_v his_o ear_n thorough_a with_o a_o awl_n and_o he_o shall_v serve_v he_o for_o ever_o and_o again_o deut._n 15.16_o and_o it_o shall_v be_v if_o he_o i._n e._n the_o servant_n set_v free_a at_o the_o sabbatic_a year_n say_v unto_o thou_o i_o will_v not_o go_v away_o from_o thou_o etc._n etc._n then_o thou_o shall_v take_v a_o awl_n and_o thrust_v it_o through_o his_o ear_n unto_o the_o door_n and_o he_o shall_v be_v thy_o servant_n for_o ever_o and_o also_o to_o thy_o handmaid_n thou_o shall_v do_v likewise_o 5._o that_o a_o plain_a place_n of_o scripture_n shall_v be_v thus_o mistake_v for_o a_o assertion_n of_o doctor_n hammond_n i_o be_o not_o permit_v to_o suspect_v because_o that_o author_n have_v to_o his_o mention_n of_o the_o doctor_n name_v add_v the_o testimony_n of_o gen._n 21._o which_o though_o it_o be_v a_o mistake_n i_o suppose_v of_o the_o printer_n for_o ex._n 21._o will_v yet_o be_v a_o competent_a testimony_n of_o that_o author_n opinion_n that_o doctor_n hammond_n have_v moses_n on_o his_o side_n and_o consequent_o that_o both_o be_v to_o be_v involve_v by_o he_o in_o the_o same_o condemnation_n 6._o the_o same_o i_o suppose_v i_o may_v assume_v of_o the_o other_o negation_n question_v by_o he_o that_o it_o be_v in_o doctor_n hammond_n but_o the_o repeat_n of_o the_o 6._o commandment_n thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v according_a to_o the_o latitude_n wherein_o all_o jewish_a and_o christian_a writer_n have_v interpret_v it_o to_o the_o prohibition_n of_o self-murder_n as_o have_v be_v show_v by_o he_o at_o large_a in_o another_o place_n 5._o 7._o have_v mention_v this_o first_o advantage_n against_o this_o author_n sufficient_a certain_o to_o secure_v doctor_n hammond_n from_o his_o blame_n and_o to_o make_v any_o apology_n for_o he_o unnecessary_a and_o well-nigh_o scandalous_a the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v able_a to_o plead_v its_o own_o cause_n without_o the_o assistance_n of_o any_o human_a advocate_n i_o have_v yet_o the_o benefit_n of_o a_o second_o kindness_n allow_v i_o by_o this_o unknown_a adversary_n which_o though_o scripture_n be_v not_o of_o authority_n with_o he_o will_v encourage_v the_o doctor_n not_o to_o fear_v the_o fall_n under_o his_o displeasure_n that_o be_v the_o unreconcileableness_n of_o those_o two_o opinion_n the_o one_o with_o the_o other_o which_o he_o be_v please_v to_o confront_v to_o doctor_n hammond_n viz._n that_o it_o shall_v be_v unlawful_a for_o a_o jew_n to_o give_v up_o his_o freedom_n and_o that_o servitude_n shall_v be_v as_o he_o call_v it_o a_o unnatural_a servitude_n and_o yet_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v put_v in_o his_o power_n by_o god_n and_o nature_n for_o that_o be_v to_o affirm_v it_o lawful_a and_o agreeable_a to_o nature_n to_o take_v away_o his_o own_o life_n or_o to_o kill_v himself_o for_o it_o be_v by_o job_n mention_v as_o a_o aphorism_n of_o common_a nature_n that_o a_o man_n will_v for_o his_o life_n give_v all_o he_o have_v and_o in_o the_o account_n and_o practice_n of_o all_o man_n that_o of_o liberty_n be_v part_n of_o that_o all_o it_o will_v consequent_o be_v unreasonable_a and_o impossible_a for_o he_o that_o have_v once_o affirm_v the_o part_n with_o one_o freedom_n to_o be_v a_o unnatural_a servitude_n to_o deny_v the_o kill_n of_o himself_o to_o be_v a_o unnatural_a murder_n and_o therefore_o have_v so_o fair_a advantage_n before_o i_o not_o only_o the_o scripture_n in_fw-la terminis_fw-la on_o my_o side_n but_o this_o adversary_n by_o so_o easy_a a_o consequence_n become_v my_o second_o also_o i_o be_o not_o unwilling_o persuade_v to_o tender_v a_o brief_a reply_n to_o those_o reason_n which_o seem_v to_o have_v draw_v this_o author_n into_o this_o casual_a dispute_n and_o to_o endeavour_v the_o prevent_n of_o those_o error_n to_o which_o a_o philodemius_fw-la or_o popular_a disputer_n may_v in_o such_o a_o age_n of_o licentiousness_n betray_v other_o 8._o to_o the_o case_n of_o the_o jewish_a servant_n give_v up_o his_o freedom_n to_o his_o master_n which_o be_v by_o the_o doctor_n mention_v out_o of_o moses_n the_o author_n have_v frame_v three_o answer_n 9_o the_o first_o that_o it_o can_v be_v affirm_v upon_o good_a and_o pregnant_a ground_n that_o from_o nature_n the_o jew_n have_v any_o such_o power_n but_o that_o god_n only_o permit_v it_o to_o be_v so_o and_o the_o jew_n by_o this_o unnatural_a servitude_n to_o his_o master_n be_v a_o fit_a type_n of_o that_o slavery_n that_o man_n shall_v be_v in_o unto_o sin_n to_o obey_v it_o in_o the_o lust_n thereof_o for_o his_o servant_n we_o be_v who_o we_o obey_v 10._o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o affirmation_n of_o moses_n in_o the_o scripture_n that_o this_o be_v permit_v by_o god_n to_o the_o jew_n be_v to_o i_o a_o good_a and_o pregnant_a ground_n that_o the_o jew_n have_v this_o power_n under_o god_n own_o government_n which_o be_v all_o that_o he_o affirm_v to_o be_v affirm_v by_o doctor_n hammond_n in_o that_o place_n and_o therefore_o the_o put_n in_o those_o other_o word_n of_o the_o jew_n not_o have_v it_o from_o nature_n seem_v to_o be_v on_o purpose_n design_v to_o take_v off_o from_o the_o clearness_n and_o the_o pregnancy_n of_o the_o probation_n and_o so_o only_o to_o darken_v but_o not_o to_o invalidate_v the_o argument_n 11._o but_o than_o second_o i_o add_v that_o god_n permit_v any_o thing_n to_o any_o man_n be_v a_o pregnant_a argument_n that_o from_o nature_n that_o man_n have_v that_o power_n if_o by_o power_n we_o mean_v a_o moral_a power_n or_o power_n of_o do_v it_o without_o sin_n and_o if_o by_o god_n permission_n we_o understand_v his_o approbation_n as_o of_o a_o lawful_a fact_n for_o thus_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n never_o so_o permit_v as_o to_o approve_v or_o not_o prohibit_v any_o thing_n which_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n may_v not_o be_v do_v without_o sin_n for_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v the_o law_n of_o god_n as_o true_o as_o any_o positive_a law_n of_o his_o promulgate_a and_o god_n in_o all_o his_o law_n be_v constant_a to_o himself_o so_o far_o as_o never_o to_o prohibit_v and_o permit_v the_o same_o thing_n at_o the_o same_o time_n

year_n of_o jubilee_n which_o offer_v he_o the_o same_o release_n resolve_v that_o he_o will_v not_o go_v out_o free_a refuse_v to_o make_v use_n of_o the_o advantage_n of_o a_o jubilee_n and_o so_o have_v no_o more_o release_v behind_o and_o consequent_o by_o this_o act_n of_o his_o be_v in_o a_o irreversible_a estate_n remain_v a_o servant_n for_o ever_o and_o so_o this_o more_o specious_a answer_n appear_v to_o have_v as_o little_a of_o truth_n or_o substance_n in_o it_o as_o the_o two_o former_a 18._o to_o which_o yet_o i_o may_v further_o add_v that_o in_o case_n it_o be_v grant_v that_o the_o next_o year_n of_o jubilee_n give_v this_o man_n release_v also_o yet_o will_v not_o this_o avoid_v the_o concludency_n of_o this_o place_n for_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o give_v up_o our_o liberty_n which_o be_v the_o only_a point_n in_o hand_n because_o he_o that_o can_v do_v it_o for_o seven_o or_o for_o fifty_o year_n can_v sure_o do_v it_o and_o although_o have_v do_v it_o he_o shall_v have_v liberty_n after_o that_o number_n of_o year_n to_o retract_v if_o he_o please_v yet_o be_v this_o no_o obligation_n that_o he_o shall_v retract_v but_o only_o a_o privilege_n that_o he_o may_v which_o privilege_n he_o may_v again_o as_o lawful_o deny_v himself_o to_o make_v use_n of_o as_o before_o he_o do_v of_o his_o first_o liberty_n 19_o mean_o while_o the_o conclusion_n or_o close_o of_o this_o author_n reason_v be_v a_o little_a more_o extraordinary_a yet_o for_o have_v from_o the_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o of_o the_o jubilee_n infer_v that_o he_o do_v not_o make_v himself_o irrecoverable_o a_o slave_n he_o proceed_v and_o if_o so_o i_o e._n sure_o if_o he_o make_v not_o himself_o a_o slave_n irrecoverable_o where_o be_v the_o warrant_n from_o god_n or_o nature_n from_o passi_v away_o his_o freedom_n or_o liberty_n at_o all_o and_o if_o so_o how_o without_o recall_n and_o irreversible_o be_v it_o possible_a this_o author_n can_v think_v these_o conclusion_n demonstrate_v so_o logical_o as_o that_o he_o shall_v set_v they_o down_o by_o way_n of_o question_n which_o suppose_v they_o irrefragable_a at_o the_o first_o ask_v 20._o for_o the_o first_o of_o they_o be_v not_o the_o contrary_a most_o demonstrable_a that_o if_o he_o be_v a_o slave_n till_o the_o year_n of_o jubilee_n as_o it_o be_v confess_v he_o be_v and_o withal_o that_o he_o be_v so_o by_o god_n permission_n then_o there_o be_v warrant_n from_o god_n for_o pass_v away_o his_o liberty_n in_o some_o degree_n and_o for_o some_o space_n though_o not_o irrevocable_o do_v not_o he_o serve_v at_o all_o that_o serve_v not_o eternal_o or_o be_v that_o no_o warrant_n at_o all_o which_o be_v such_o for_o a_o

too_o our_o time_n of_o manumission_n from_o hence_o 21._o and_o for_o the_o second_o what_o be_v that_o but_o a_o plain_a circle_n first_o to_o infer_v the_o not_o at_o all_o from_o the_o not_o
