next_o argument_n from_o scripture_n be_v that_o the_o prophet_n reprehend_v the_o king_n of_o israel_n and_o judah_n for_o idolatry_n and_o oppression_n none_o ever_o call_v upon_o the_o people_n for_o this_o duty_n of_o resistance_n first_o there_o be_v much_o difference_n between_o king_n now_o and_o those_o king_n the_o people_n than_o do_v neither_o give_v they_o their_o power_n nor_o limit_v their_o power_n they_o do_v both_o now_o when_o first_o they_o be_v set_v up_o second_o if_o this_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n that_o because_o when_o king_n oppress_v the_o prophet_n do_v not_o call_v upon_o people_n for_o resistance_n therefore_o all_o resistance_n in_o any_o case_n be_v unlawful_a then_o if_o when_o people_n have_v resist_v and_o cast_v off_o the_o government_n of_o their_o king_n and_o the_o prophet_n have_v not_o reprove_v they_o for_o it_o than_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o people_n in_o some_o case_n to_o resist_v he_o that_o will_v hearken_v to_o his_o own_o

when_o there_o be_v resistance_n the_o prophet_n rebuke_v not_o that_o resistance_n than_o there_o may_v with_o as_o good_a reason_n be_v resistance_n say_v i._n when_o the_o ten_o tribe_n cast_v

for_o it_o be_v his_o argument_n therefore_o if_o he_o will_v make_v it_o good_a he_o must_v prove_v they_o have_v not_o and_o yet_o suppose_v they_o have_v not_o if_o we_o shall_v gratify_v the_o
