A34269	A Confutation of sundry errors in Dr. Sherlock's book concerning allegiance		1691 (1691)	Wing C5812; ESTC R20781	14,713	16

a_o confutation_n of_o sundry_a error_n in_o dr._n sherlock_n book_n concern_v allegiance_n error_n 1._o the_o scripture_n have_v give_v we_o no_o direction_n in_o this_o case_n but_o to_o submit_v and_o pay_v all_o the_o obedience_n of_o subject_n to_o the_o present_a power_n it_o make_v no_o distinction_n that_o ever_o i_o can_v find_v between_o rightful_a king_n and_o usurper_n pag._n 18._o confut._n why_o then_o do_v you_o stand_v off_o so_o long_o from_o swear_v allegiance_n to_o their_o present_a majesty_n out_o of_o scruple_n of_o conscience_n and_o why_o do_v you_o condemn_v oliver_n cromwell_n and_o the_o rump-parliament_n and_o the_o late_a inter-regnum_fw-la as_o a_o rebellion_n and_o why_o do_v you_o approve_v the_o people_n combination_n against_o and_o kill_v athaliah_n as_o a_o usurper_n and_o set_v young_a joash_n the_o right_a heir_n in_o the_o throne_n to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n as_o to_o our_o duty_n and_o allegiance_n between_o a_o manifest_a usurper_n and_o a_o manifest_a rightful_a owner_n of_o the_o crown_n be_v in_o effect_n to_o say_v that_o a_o manifest_a usurper_n be_v not_o a_o usurper_n which_o be_v a_o contradiction_n the_o scripture_n large_o take_v do_v comprise_v the_o principle_n of_o natural_a religion_n and_o all_o the_o rule_n and_o maxim_n of_o order_n government_n and_o civil_a society_n common_a to_o christian_n and_o heathen_n who_o all_o agree_v in_o this_o that_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o king_n a_o manifest_a usurper_n and_o a_o manifest_a rightful_a owner_n of_o the_o crown_n and_o according_o there_o be_v two_o kind_n of_o subjection_n one_o due_a to_o a_o usurper_n and_o another_o due_n to_o a_o rightful_a owner_n of_o the_o crown_n for_o as_o these_o two_o king_n differ_v in_o specie_fw-la in_o kind_n so_o the_o subjection_n due_a to_o the_o one_o do_v differ_v in_o specie_fw-la in_o kind_n from_o what_o be_v due_a to_o the_o other_o if_o you_o abandon_v this_o distinction_n you_o justify_v the_o cause_n of_o traitorous_a absolom_n and_o his_o adherent_n against_o innocent_a david_n and_o his_o adherent_n and_o there_o can_v be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o usurpation_n of_o crown_n and_o kingdom_n error_n 2._o joash_n be_v first_o anoint_v and_o proclaim_v before_o any_o one_o stir_v a_o finger_n against_o athaliah_n now_o this_o be_v a_o very_a different_a case_n from_o raise_v rebellion_n against_o a_o prince_n who_o be_v in_o the_o possession_n of_o the_o throne_n to_o restore_v a_o eject_v prince_n p._n 34._o confut._n though_o joash_n be_v first_o anoint_v and_o proclaim_v king_n before_o athaliah_n be_v kill_v yet_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o preparation_n to_o kill_v she_o and_o the_o full_a purpose_n of_o their_o mind_n so_o to_o do_v be_v long_o before_o and_o be_v these_o not_o so_o much_o as_o the_o stir_n of_o a_o finger_n against_o athaliah_n person_n crown_n and_o government_n if_o the_o same_o kind_n of_o subjection_n be_v due_a to_o athaliah_n a_o notorious_a usurper_n which_o be_v due_a to_o joash_n the_o rightful_a owner_n as_o you_o all_o along_o assert_v than_o jehoiada_n and_o all_o the_o godly_a and_o true_a loyalist_n in_o judah_n be_v guilty_a of_o traitorous_a and_o wicked_a conspiracy_n if_o not_o than_o the_o grand_a principle_n of_o your_o book_n fall_v and_o you_o show_v yourself_o a_o betrayer_n rather_o than_o a_o defender_n of_o true_a loyalty_n and_o allegiance_n error_n 3._o this_o of_o athaliah_n be_v a_o peculiar_a case_n for_o god_n himself_o have_v entail_v the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n on_o the_o posterity_n of_o david_n and_o therefore_o nothing_o can_v justify_v their_o submission_n to_o a_o usurper_n when_o the_o king_n son_n be_v find_v to_o who_o the_o kingdom_n do_v belong_v by_o a_o divine_a entail_v but_o etc._n etc._n p._n 35._o confut._n it_o be_v plain_a from_o the_o story_n that_o the_o noble_n commons_z and_o clergy_n of_o judah_n do_v out_o of_o conscientious_a prudence_n and_o respect_n to_o the_o common_a quiet_n submit_v to_o the_o government_n of_o athaliah_n after_o they_o know_v she_o be_v a_o usurper_n and_o that_o joash_n the_o right_a heir_n be_v in_o be_v and_o preparation_n for_o the_o crown_n until_o they_o have_v by_o innocent_a policy_n make_v themselves_o strong_a and_o be_v sufficient_o prepare_v to_o depose_v and_o kill_v she_o this_o their_o submission_n be_v just_a and_o laudable_a and_o this_o case_n do_v strong_o prove_v that_o a_o notorious_a usurper_n be_v to_o be_v submit_v to_o by_o all_o the_o people_n when_o he_o can_v be_v depose_v and_o cut_v off_o without_o endanger_v the_o common_a quiet_a and_o safety_n of_o the_o realm_n but_o when_o it_o can_v with_o general_a safety_n and_o quiet_a to_o the_o realm_n be_v effect_v it_o be_v lawful_a and_o laudable_a to_o effect_v and_o accomplish_v it_o for_o though_o the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n be_v a_o theocracy_n yet_o other_o nation_n and_o kingdom_n be_v not_o without_o order_n and_o government_n agreeable_a to_o the_o general_a rule_n of_o god_n word_n and_o in_o that_o respect_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o theocracy_n though_o not_o in_o the_o strict_a sense_n and_o it_o be_v upon_o ground_n and_o reason_n common_a to_o other_o nation_n and_o kingdom_n that_o athaliah_n be_v depose_v and_o kill_v viz._n because_o she_o be_v a_o notorious_a usurper_n and_o it_o be_v against_o the_o common_a quiet_a and_o interest_n of_o the_o realm_n to_o bear_v with_o and_o submit_v to_o she_o any_o long_o vbi_fw-la eadem_fw-la ratio_fw-la
