A88565	Illumination to Sion Colledge. Wherein, their calling to the Ministery (the foundation whereof not being built upon Christ) is dissipated, their arrogancy hereupon manifested, the extent of magistrates power in generall defined; the execution of the late King, and the seculusion of the late members of Parliament farther justified; the former declarations of Parliament and Scriptures which they cite, explained; their objections from the Covenant, removed in the grammaticall sense thereof; and the Parliament and Army from their aspersions in all vindicated. Being for answer, to the representation of their judgments, in a letter to the Generall, January 18. last: serves also to their vindication: and in part to a pamphlet intituled, Essex Watchmens watch-word: likewise in effect to a later libell (supposed Mr. Loves, intituled, A vindication of the ministers from the aspersions (alias the Etymologies) of Mr. Price, in his Clerico Classicum, &c. To which latter pamphlet, is annexed a briefe answer to what is not so fully hinted in that to the Ministers. / By J.L. as cordiall and fervent a thirster after the nations prosperity, as any.	J.

to_o a_o impulse_n of_o his_o spirit_n to_o our_o understanding_n the_o necessity_n of_o it_o and_o his_o providence_n together_o all_o which_o in_o this_o case_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o rule_n to_o walk_v by_o again_o to_o touch_v upon_o what_o before_o promise_v if_o two_o command_n shall_v come_v in_o competition_n as_o in_o this_o case_n they_o do_v not_o yet_o the_o great_a be_v to_o be_v first_o respect_v and_o obey_v there_o be_v a_o command_n not_o to_o eat_v the_o show_n bread_n but_o david_n have_v a_o great_a command_n not_o to_o murder_v least_o of_o all_o himself_o when_o there_o be_v such_o sustenance_n before_o he_o which_o he_o rather_o obey_v if_o then_o universal_a obedience_n be_v as_o it_o be_v not_o enjoin_v to_o all_o magistrate_n yet_o the_o execution_n of_o judgement_n and_o justice_n as_o a_o great_a command_n more_o force_n in_o it_o must_v be_v prefer_v before_o it_o without_o respect_n of_o person_n and_o this_o from_o a_o impulse_n of_o spirit_n in_o those_o empower_v for_o the_o office_n and_o that_o there_o be_v such_o the_o very_a command_n imply_v as_o much_o ●●●e_z that_o a_o people_n can_v execute_v judgement_n and_o justice_n without_o illimited_a power_n to_o do_v it_o moreover_o to_o your_o objection_n of_o a_o impulse_n of_o spirit_n fall_v upon_o multitude_n at_o the_o same_o time_n pat_v they_o all_o at_o once_o ●pon_n performance_n contrary_a to_o moral_a precept_n as_o you_o say_v or_o whether_o those_o that_o have_v such_o a_o impulse_n of_o spirit_n can_v command_v other_o that_o have_v it_o not_o i_o partly_o answer_v that_o if_o the_o transaction_n of_o the_o army_n that_o you_o speak_v of_o be_v contrary_a to_o moral_a precept_n as_o you_o peremptory_o conclude_v they_o be_v than_o they_o must_v be_v contrary_a to_o god_n word_n but_o it_o be_v before_o clear_o prove_v that_o they_o be_v in_o general_a and_o so_o in_o particular_a agreeble_a to_o god_n word_n therefore_o they_o can_v be_v contrary_a to_o moral_a precept_n now_o then_o for_o full_a resolution_n to_o this_o your_o question_n we_o must_v consider_v whether_o the_o thing_n thus_o impulse_v by_o the_o spirit_n be_v against_o a_o command_n great_a or_o lesser_a whether_o against_o a_o great_a command_n that_o be_v absolute_a and_o will_v in_o no_o case_n admit_v of_o a_o breach_n or_o whether_o against_o a_o lesser_a command_n as_o in_o some_o case_n as_o that_o a_o great_a may_v not_o be_v violate_v will_v admit_v of_o a_o breach_n of_o the_o letter_n of_o i●_n thus_o the_o five_o commandment_n be_v subordinate_a to_o the_o first_o viz._n to_o own_o god_n though_o in_o the_o denial_n of_o our_o parent_n thus_o likewise_o in_o two_o necessity_n the_o great_a be_v to_o be_v p●efer●d_v before_o the_o lesse●_n we_o read_v that_o the_o rigour_n of_o the_o punishment_n due_a to_o theft_n under_o the_o law_n be_v mitigate_v when_o commit_v mere_o to_o preserve_v life_n the_o four_o commandment_n likewise_o dispense_v with_o needful_a act_n it_o hold_v good_a likewise_o in_o the_o example_n of_o david_n which_o you_o instance_n wherewith_o i_o thus_o far_o comply_v that_o for_o david_n in_o revenge_n of_o his_o own_o private_a cause_n be_v especial_o a_o private_a person_n to_o have_v improve_v those_o providence_n he_o have_v to_o have_v kill_v saul_n may_v have_v be_v a_o sin_n as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o nabal_n that_o also_o be_v no_o ground_n for_o any_o to_o take_v away_o another_o man_n life_n because_o he_o will_v have_v take_v away_o his_o but_o now_o have_v it_o thus_o happen_v that_o saul_n in_o pursuit_n of_o david_n have_v so_o straiten_v he_o that_o either_o he_o must_v have_v kill_v sa●d_v or_o by_o he_o have_v be_v kill_v himself_o in_o this_o case_n i_o believe_v the_o law_n of_o reason_n and_o nature_n afford_v a_o man_n all_o mean_n to_o preserve_v his_o own_o life_n upon_o the_o aforesaid_a limitation_n the_o margin_n upon_o that_o providence_n give_v david_n have_v it_o to_o the_o same_o effect_n and_o for_o proof_n instance_v the_o example_n of_o ichu_n now_o then_o much_o more_o the_o impulse_n of_o spirit_n upon_o though_o not_o the_o

as_o you_o call_v the_o army_n command_v those_o other_o that_o want_v such_o a_o impulse_n of_o spirit_n though_o they_o be_v never_o yet_o compel_v to_o act_v in_o discharge_n of_o that_o their_o

your_o exhortation_n pag._n 15._o to_o the_o army_n to_o recede_v from_o these_o evil_a way_n as_o your_o word_n be_v be_v altogether_o useless_a and_o which_o if_o follow_v will_v prove_v very_o
