A36241	A defence of the vindication of the deprived bishops wherein the case of Abiathar is particularly considered, and the invalidity of lay-deprivations is further proved, from the doctrine received under the Old Testament, continued in the first ages of christianity, and from our own fundamental laws, in a reply to Dr. Hody and another author : to which is annexed, the doctrine of the church of England, concerning the independency of the clergy on the lay-power, as to those rights of theirs which are purely spiritual, reconciled with our oath of supremancy, and the lay-deprivations of the popish bishops in the beginning of the reformation / by the author of the Vindication of the deprived bishops.	Dodwell, Henry, 1641-1711.	1695 (1695)	Wing D1805; ESTC R18161	114,840	118

already_o what_o have_v be_v pretend_v to_o the_o contrary_a from_o the_o case_n of_o abiathar_n and_o those_o other_o late_a deprivation_n by_o the_o heathen_a magistrate_n and_o this_o be_v at_o

from_o the_o power_n annex_v to_o the_o priesthood_n yet_o separable_a from_o it_o according_a to_o the_o design_n of_o god_n in_o the_o particular_a constitution_n the_o power_n of_o govern_v the_o

it_o or_o not_o be_v therefore_o to_o be_v judge_v by_o the_o particular_a constitution_n but_o particular_o for_o the_o jewish_a state_n i_o rather_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v not_o annex_v to_o it_o for_o the_o right_n of_o government_n as_o annex_v to_o the_o priesthood_n be_v found_v on_o the_o right_a the_o priest_n have_v to_o oblige_v subject_n by_o exclude_v refractory_a person_n as_o such_o from_o partake_v in_o his_o sacrifice_n but_o so_o much_o erastus_n have_v i_o think_v well_o observe_v that_o the_o only_a thing_n that_o then_o hinder_v from_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v only_o

for_o not_o stand_v to_o the_o award_n of_o the_o priest_n be_v capital_a as_o be_v a_o disobedience_n to_o so_o much_o of_o the_o secular_a government_n as_o it_o be_v theocratical_a not_o exclusion_n from_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o those_o who_o have_v be_v contemn_v by_o the_o delinguent_n nor_o indeed_o be_v there_o that_o necessity_n that_o the_o government_n even_o as_o to_o spiritual_n shall_v be_v annex_v to_o the_o priesthood_n then_o as_o there_o be_v under_o the_o gospel_n now_o the_o prince_n be_v then_o always_o oblige_v to_o be_v a_o jew_n and_o therefore_o of_o the_o religion_n establish_v for_o that_o nation_n by_o god_n himself_o now_o his_o be_v of_o a_o other_o than_o the_o true_a religion_n be_v no_o hindrance_n by_o our_o modern_a constitution_n from_o have_v a_o lawful_a right_n to_o the_o secular_a government_n then_o the_o prince_n have_v a_o better_a pretence_n as_o the_o head_n of_o the_o theocracy_n to_o command_v in_o affair_n concern_v god_n than_o any_o prince_n live_v can_v now_o when_o no_o state_n pretend_v to_o be_v theocratical_a then_o all_o the_o concern_v of_o the_o peculium_fw-la be_v confine_v to_o that_o single_a nation_n which_o be_v whole_o command_v by_o one_o prince_n now_o the_o concern_v of_o every_o national_a church_n be_v mix_v with_o those_o of_o all_o the_o other_o national_a church_n in_o the_o world_n with_o who_o their_o prince_n have_v no_o concern_n at_o all_o this_o very_a consideration_n make_v the_o national_a church_n interest_n separable_a from_o the_o interest_n of_o their_o prince_n of_o which_o he_o can_v therefore_o be_v by_o no_o mean_n presume_v a_o competent_a judge_n that_o priesthood_n be_v not_o intend_v to_o be_v practicable_a in_o a_o time_n of_o persecution_n and_o
