A89562	A copy of a letter written by Mr. Stephen Marshall to a friend of his in the city, for the necessary vindication of himself and his ministry, against that altogether groundlesse, most unjust, and ungodly aspersion cast upon him by certaine malignants in the city, and lately printed at Oxford, in their Mendacium Aulicum, otherwise called Mercurius Aulicus, and sent abroad into other nations to his perpetuall infamy. In which letter the accusation is fully answered. And together with that, the lawfulnesse of the Parliaments taking up defensive arms is briefly and learnedly asserted and demonstrated, texts of Scripture cleared, all objections to the contrary answered, to the full satisfaction of all those that desire to have their consciences informed in this great controversie.; Plea for defensive arms.	Marshall, Stephen, 1594?-1655.	1643 (1643)	Wing M750; Thomason E102_10; ESTC R21572	25,726	33

by_o their_o aid_n of_o man_n and_o money_n their_o distress_a and_o oppress_a brethren_n and_o neighbour_n in_o the_o like_a case_n and_o now_o in_o our_o own_o sight_n both_o the_o king_n and_o

custom_n and_o constitution_n bound_v the_o king_n authority_n and_o the_o subject_n obedience_n yet_o if_o any_o of_o these_o will_v change_v the_o the_o bound_n of_o his_o authority_n for_o

those_o term_n and_o the_o subject_n indent_v to_o have_v liberty_n of_o resistance_n in_o such_o case_n than_o they_o grant_v that_o where_o the_o law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n allow_v a_o liberty_n of_o resistance_n resistance_n may_v be_v use_v notwithstanding_o these_o text_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o we_o plead_v for_o if_o any_o people_n have_v covenant_v in_o no_o case_n to_o resist_v
