or_o of_o such_o monarch_n as_o have_v only_o a_o coordinate_a power_n with_o the_o state_n of_o their_o own_o kingdom_n and_o even_o in_o these_o case_n he_o do_v not_o positive_o assert_v that_o these_o monarch_n may_v be_v resist_v but_o do_v only_o doubt_v whether_o if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o superior_a or_o coordinate_a magistrate_n represent_v the_o people_n they_o may_v not_o

be_v say_v of_o the_o king_n of_o great_a britain_n since_o the_o state_n of_o parliament_n be_v only_o call_v by_o the_o king_n and_o derive_v their_o authority_n from_o he_o and_o the_o legislative_a power_n be_v sole_o in_o the_o king_n the_o state_n of_o parliament_n be_v only_a consenter_n he_o and_o not_o they_o can_v only_o make_v peace_n and_o war_n and_o grant_v remission_n

it_o will_v easy_o appear_v that_o these_o exception_n extend_v not_o at_o all_o to_o our_o case_n for_o the_o first_o relate_v only_o to_o such_o king_n as_o have_v receive_v their_o power_n with_o

the_o one_o may_v be_v oppose_v because_o they_o be_v only_o titular_a king_n and_o the_o other_o because_o they_o leave_v off_o to_o be_v king_n and_o consequent_o we_o be_v concern_v in_o neither_o of_o these_o case_n the_o three_o limitation_n be_v only_o in_o the_o case_n where_o he_o who_o be_v true_o a_o king_n have_v alienate_v his_o kingdom_n to_o stranger_n in_o which_o case_n grotius_n do_v contend_v that_o subject_n may_v refuse_v to_o obey_v because_o he_o cease_v to_o be_v their_o king_n but_o as_o this_o be_v not_o our_o case_n so_o even_o in_o that_o case_n grotius_n be_v

do_v not_o at_o all_o assert_v that_o the_o monarch_n may_v be_v thereupon_o depose_v by_o his_o people_n the_o four_o relate_v only_o to_o such_o king_n as_o from_o a_o hatred_n to_o their_o country_n design_v its_o destruction_n and_o utter_a ruin_n but_o as_o he_o confess_v himself_o id_fw-la vix_fw-la accidere_fw-la potest_fw-la in_o rege_fw-la mentis_fw-la compote_fw-la and_o consequent_o can_v take_v only_a place_n in_o a_o mad_a man_n in_o which_o case_n all_o law_n allow_v the_o kingdom_n to_o be_v rule_v by_o governor_n and_o administrator_n in_o the_o king_n name_n if_o the_o madness_n be_v natural_a and_o a_o total_a depravation_n of_o sense_n but_o if_o by_o madness_n be_v mean_v a_o moral_a madness_n and_o design_n to_o ruin_v the_o kingdom_n and_o the_o

opposition_n in_o such_o case_n be_v not_o at_o all_o warrant_v by_o grotius_n who_o speak_v only_o of_o a_o physical_a and_o natural_a madness_n for_o else_o every_o thing_n that_o displease_v the_o people_n shall_v be_v call_v madness_n and_o so_o the_o exception_n shall_v not_o limit_v but_o overturn_v the_o general_a rule_n and_o shall_v arm_v all_o subject_n to_o rebel_v against_o their_o prince_n and_o make_v they_o the_o sovereign_a judge_n in_o all_o case_n which_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o grotius_n own_o doctrine_n and_o be_v excellent_o refute_v by_o his_o own_o reason_n the_o five_o relate_v only_o to_o king_n who_o by_o the_o fundamental_a law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v tie_v to_o such_o and_o such_o condition_n so_o as_o that_o if_o they_o fail_v in_o they_o they_o may_v be_v oppose_v the_o six_o relate_v only_o to_o kingdom_n where_o the_o power_n be_v equal_o divide_v betwixt_o the_o king_n and_o the_o senate_n the_o seven_o be_v incase_o the_o king_n be_v at_o first_o invest_v by_o the_o people_n with_o express_a reservation_n to_o they_o to_o resist_v in_o such_o and_o such_o case_n and_o so_o be_v almost_o the_o same_o with_o the_o five_o and_o all_o these_o three_o differ_v little_a from_o the_o first_o and_o with_o grotius_n good_a leave_n they_o err_v also_o in_o this_o that_o they_o be_v not_o proper_o exception_n from_o his_o own_o rule_n for_o the_o rule_n be_v only_o that_o supreme_a power_n can_v be_v resist_v these_o power_n be_v not_o supreme_a and_o they_o need_v not_o be_v caution_v by_o a_o exception_n since_o they_o do_v not_o fall_v under_o the_o rule_n but_o neither_o of_o these_o case_n extend_v to_o we_o since_o our_o king_n be_v by_o the_o act_n of_o parliament_n fomer_o cite_v declare_v to_o be_v supreme_a over_o

upon_o that_o four_o chapter_n who_o argument_n adduce_v against_o grotius_n i_o shall_v answer_v among_o the_o other_o objection_n gronovius_n first_o argument_n why_o it_o shall_v be_v lawful_a to_o resist_v the_o supreme_a magistrate_n in_o defence_n of_o religion_n be_v because_o if_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o subject_n to_o arm_n themselves_o for_o religion_n against_o their_o prince_n it_o shall_v not_o be_v lawful_a for_o their_o prince_n by_o the_o same_o rule_n to_o defend_v himself_o against_o turk_n and_o infidel_n who_o will_v endeavour_v to_o force_v he_o to_o comply_v with_o their_o impiety_n but_o to_o this_o it_o be_v answer_v that_o resistance_n to_o superior_n be_v express_o discharge_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o nature_n as_o say_v be_v but_o this_o can_v be_v extend_v to_o case_n where_o there_o be_v no_o subjection_n nor_o allegiance_n and_o it_o may_v be_v as_o well_o argue_v that_o because_o one_o private_a man_n may_v beat_v another_o who_o offer_v to_o strike_v he_o that_o therefore_o a_o child_n may_v beat_v his_o parent_n or_o a_o servant_n his_o master_n or_o that_o because_o i_o may_v violent_o resist_v a_o private_a man_n who_o offer_v to_o take_v away_o my_o good_n unjust_o that_o therefore_o i_o may_v oppose_v the_o sentence_n of_o the_o magistrate_n because_o i_o forsooth_o do_v not_o think_v the_o same_o just_a his_o second_o shift_n be_v that_o our_o saviour_n command_v only_o absolute_a submission_n without_o resistance_n in_o the_o infancy_n of_o the_o church_n when_o he_o himself_o be_v miraculos_o to_o assist_v his_o own_o servant_n but_o this_o submission_n be_v to_o end_v with_o the_o miracle_n to_o which_o it_o relate_v as_o to_o which_o my_o answer_n be_v 1._o that_o all_o the_o command_v in_o
