A67624	An answer to certain observations of W. Bridges, concerning the present warre against His Majestie whereby hee pretends to justifie it against that hexapla of considerations, viz. theologicall, historicall, legall, criticall, melancholy, and foolish : wherein, as he saith, it is look't upon by the squint-eyed multitude.	Warmstry, Thomas, 1610-1665.	1643 (1643)	Wing W879; ESTC R38489	56,563	74

find_v but_o that_o david_n in_o his_o message_n do_v leave_n nabal_n a_o propriety_n in_o his_o good_n notwithstanding_o all_o the_o necessity_n that_o he_o be_v in_o or_o what_o else_o you_o can_v

david_n neither_o do_v nabal_n denial_n alter_v the_o property_n as_o now_o some_o may_v seem_v to_o intimate_v by_o their_o practice_n they_o will_v allow_v man_n a_o property_n to_o give_v unto_o

where_o he_o set_v forth_o the_o power_n that_o a_o propriety_n give_v a_o man_n over_o his_o own_o estate_n which_o be_v that_o he_o may_v do_v what_o he_o will_v with_o it_o so_o as_o to_o exclude_v

ourselves_o aright_o towards_o either_o or_o that_o they_o shall_v behave_v themselves_o as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v for_o we_o must_v know_v and_o they_o must_v know_v that_o power_n be_v large_a than_o duty_n in_o both_o and_o duty_n must_v set_v limit_n unto_o their_o power_n but_o those_o limit_n must_v be_v set_v by_o god_n and_o themselves_o not_o by_o other_o without_o they_o the_o power_n of_o king_n must_v engage_v we_o to_o subjection_n either_o active_a or_o passive_a though_o they_o use_v it_o unjust_o the_o duty_n of_o king_n must_v teach_v they_o subjection_n to_o that_o
