By name, unto the reverend and learned divines which pleaded Scripture and reason for defensive arms. The author of the Treatise of monarchy. The author of the Fuller answer his reply. By H. Fern D.D. &c.	Ferne, H. (Henry), 1602-1662.	1643 (1643)	Wing F799; Thomason E74_9	75,846	101

endanger_a religion_n and_o liberty_n and_o now_o they_o think_v much_o it_o shall_v be_v call_v in_o question_n or_o be_v make_v a_o controversy_n it_o have_v be_v happy_a for_o they_o if_o they_o can_v have_v carry_v the_o matter_n so_o clear_o without_o be_v put_v to_o a_o reply_n or_o if_o now_o be_v put_v to_o answer_n they_o can_v make_v other_o the_o incendiaries_n for_o the_o kindle_v of_o that_o fire_n which_o they_o have_v begin_v and_o foment_v with_o seditious_a doctrine_n blow_v over_o all_o the_o kingdom_n sure_o if_o the_o divine_n and_o lawyer_n that_o be_v of_o contrary_a judgement_n to_o they_o throughout_o the_o kingdom_n have_v in_o good_a time_n declare_v themselves_o herein_o it_o will_v have_v give_v a_o seasonable_a and_o happy_a check_n to_o these_o seditious_a

publish_v and_o can_v not_o think_v it_o possible_a that_o conscience_n shall_v be_v true_o satisfy_v in_o the_o conclusion_n without_o be_v secure_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o both_o the_o promise_n of_o which_o this_o seditious_a doctrine_n be_v the_o first_o that_o subject_n may_v take_v arm_n against_o their_o sovereign_n for_o the_o defence_n of_o religion_n and_o liberty_n when_o in_o danger_n of_o subversion_n for_o which_o as_o then_o i_o can_v see_v no_o warrant_n that_o conscience_n may_v rest_v on_o no_o more_o can_v i_o now_o but_o do_v find_v it_o a_o doctrine_n destitute_a of_o scripture_n and_o true_a reason_n as_o will_v be_v clear_v in_o the_o process_n of_o this_o book_n for_o first_o upon_o the_o examination_n of_o place_n of_o scripture_n it_o will_v appear_v that_o god_n people_n be_v continual_o under_o such_o king_n against_o who_o they_o may_v not_o resist_v and_o that_o god_n word_n as_o it_o afford_v we_o no_o precept_n so_o nor_o any_o just_a example_n for_o resistance_n but_o much_o every_o way_n against_o it_o second_o upon_o the_o examination_n of_o reason_n it_o will_v appear_v how_o inconsistent_a such_o a_o power_n of_o resistance_n in_o subject_n be_v with_o government_n and_o that_o which_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n put_v his_o people_n under_o king_n without_o any_o power_n of_o resistance_n more_o inconvenience_n and_o mischief_n will_v follow_v upon_o such_o a_o power_n place_v in_o the_o people_n then_o if_o they_o be_v leave_v without_o it_o i_o must_v needs_o say_v it_o do_v at_o first_o sight_n seem_v unreasonable_a that_o subject_n shall_v be_v leave_v without_o this_o remedy_n and_o i_o confess_v my_o own_o thought_n according_a to_o that_o natural_a inclination_n we_o all_o have_v to_o liberty_n have_v be_v heretofore_o ready_a to_o suggest_v as_o much_o till_o seek_v warrant_n for_o conscience_n from_o god_n word_n i_o can_v meet_v with_o none_o but_o find_v reason_n present_o check_v with_o that_o say_n of_o our_o saviour_n mat._n 10.25_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o the_o disciple_n that_o he_o be_v as_o his_o master_n it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o now_o if_o by_o the_o denial_n of_o resistance_n and_o arm_n we_o can_v be_v in_o no_o worse_a condition_n than_o our_o saviour_n be_v and_o the_o christian_n of_o the_o primitive_a time_n and_o god_n people_n be_v ever_o in_o likewise_o when_o i_o expect_v the_o adversary_n shall_v bring_v express_a scripture_n without_o which_o they_o profess_v not_o to_o attempt_v any_o thing_n of_o such_o moment_n for_o command_v or_o allow_v this_o suppose_a duty_n of_o resistance_n i_o find_v they_o altogether_o fail_v and_o in_o their_o answer_n to_o place_n of_o scripture_n much_o disagree_v among_o themselves_o so_o that_o indeed_o all_o their_o faith_n and_o persuasion_n here_o be_v resolve_v into_o a_o appearance_n of_o reason_n raise_v upon_o aristotle_n ground_n or_o principle_n

the_o depose_v and_o take_v away_o of_o a_o exorbitant_a or_o tyrannous_a monarch_n the_o writer_n of_o these_o day_n though_o they_o will_v not_o seem_v to_o harbour_v such_o a_o intention_n and_o the_o author_n of_o the_o treatise_n of_o monarchy_n do_v express_o pronounce_v it_o unlawful_a yet_o do_v they_o all_o agree_v to_o use_v what_o force_n they_o can_v against_o such_o a_o monarch_n for_o the_o suppress_n of_o his_o tyranny_n to_o give_v he_o battle_n in_o the_o field_n and_o make_v he_o accessary_a to_o his_o own_o death_n if_o he_o fall_v by_o their_o hand_n to_o clear_v the_o way_n in_o the_o entrance_n of_o this_o cause_n i_o be_o call_v by_o the_o learned_a divine_n and_o the_o author_n of_o the_o treatise_n of_o monarchy_n in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o consider_v the_o several_a case_n of_o resistance_n and_o the_o several_a kind_n of_o government_n and_o monarchy_n sect_n ii_o case_n of_o resistance_n the_o reverend_a and_o learned_a divine_n who_o plead_v

not_o set_v down_o all_o possible_a case_n which_o they_o by_o lay_v their_o head_n together_o have_v find_v out_o then_o in_o the_o clear_n of_o the_o 13._o to_o the_o rom._n that_o he_o main_o insist_v upon_o that_o place_n do_v not_o analyse_v the_o chapter_n as_o they_o have_v do_v by_o break_v it_o into_o so_o many_o piece_n as_o if_o they_o have_v mean_v to_o draw_v out_o so_o many_o

the_o disturbance_n of_o this_o state_n and_o people_n may_v raise_v concern_v resistance_n in_o general_a but_o to_o resolve_v the_o conscience_n of_o mislead_a people_n in_o relation_n to_o the_o

in_o the_o clear_n of_o the_o 13_o to_o the_o rom._n it_o seem_v sufficient_a to_o let_v the_o people_n understand_v that_o the_o king_n be_v the_o high_a or_o supreme_a power_n in_o this_o kingdom_n
