subjection_n to_o the_o emperor_n in_o be_v however_o unlawful_o he_o come_v to_o the_o throne_n nay_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o a_o instance_n to_o the_o quite_o contrary_a philippus_n bardas_n be_v

guilty_a of_o any_o flattery_n or_o idle_a compliment_n no_o sure_a but_o this_o they_o do_v be_v thereunto_o oblige_v by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n wherein_o we_o be_v command_v to_o pray_v for_o

be_v in_o great_a danger_n of_o be_v disturb_v and_o disturb_v other_o and_o if_o indeed_o the_o practice_n of_o those_o primitive_a christian_n have_v be_v such_o as_o to_o disow_v their_o

correption_n and_o penance_n now_o this_o be_v all_o that_o he_o do_v and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o every_o ghostly_a father_n of_o a_o king_n aught_o and_o may_v do_v to_o admonish_v he_o of_o his_o sin_n and_o yet_o at_o the_o same_o time_n own_o his_o supremacy_n and_o i_o look_v upon_o he_o who_o in_o those_o great_a debate_n here_o in_o england_n betwixt_o the_o house_n of_o lancaster_n and_o york_n about_o the_o crown_n do_v live_v peaceable_o under_o that_o king_n that_o be_v possess_v of_o the_o throne_n to_o have_v be_v far_o the_o better_a subject_n and_o better_a christian_a than_o he_o who_o turbulent_a spirit_n be_v still_o for_o change_n and_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o so_o much_o war_n and_o bloodshed_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v make_v it_o out_o that_o not_o only_o a_o conqueror_n but_o a_o usurper_n be_v to_o be_v own_v as_o supreme_a and_o to_o be_v set_v up_o by_o god_n when_o possess_v of_o the_o throne_n but_o then_o the_o query_n be_v how_o far_o he_o must_v be_v possess_v of_o the_o throne_n that_o we_o may_v acknowledge_v he_o set_v up_o by_o god_n and_o desist_v from_o any_o far_a opposition_n it_o be_v true_a we_o have_v no_o such_o revelation_n now_o as_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o therefore_o may_v still_o be_v at_o a_o stand_n when_o such_o king_n be_v full_o set_v up_o by_o god_n yet_o if_o i_o may_v spend_v my_o weak_a judgement_n upon_o it_o i_o look_v upon_o a_o king_n to_o be_v thus_o set_v up_o when_o the_o former_a king_n and_o his_o heir_n be_v either_o banish_v kill_v or_o imprison_v the_o other_o be_v seat_v upon_o the_o throne_n and_o so_o far_o either_o for_o fear_n or_o favour_n own_a by_o the_o nation_n that_o there_o be_v whole_o a_o cessation_n of_o arm_n or_o a_o very_a inconsiderable_a opposition_n make_v and_o if_o god_n have_v the_o same_o power_n still_o which_o to_o question_n be_v blasphemy_n to_o pull_v down_o and_o set_v up_o king_n when_o he_o please_v and_o yet_o since_o we_o can_v expect_v any_o revelation_n from_o he_o when_o he_o do_v it_o either_o this_o rule_n which_o i_o have_v here_o mention_v be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o know_v it_o or_o else_o i_o will_v glad_o know_v what_o other_o rule_n we_o have_v to_o know_v it_o by_o but_o here_o it_o will_v be_v object_v that_o if_o possession_n give_v right_o the_o law_n must_v be_v quite_o lay_v aside_o and_o he_o that_o have_v the_o strong_a arm_n will_v have_v the_o great_a right_n and_o so_o this_o doctrine_n will_v be_v a_o inlet_n to_o all_o oppression_n and_o violence_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o grant_v a_o king_n can_v be_v punish_v and_o dispossess_v by_o due_a course_n of_o law_n and_o that_o therefore_o god_n if_o i_o may_v say_v so_o be_v force_v for_o the_o punish_n and_o dispossess_v of_o king_n to_o use_v extraordinary_a mean_n which_o may_v tantamount_n to_o a_o law_n yet_o sure_a the_o law_n be_v sufficient_a to_o take_v cognisance_n of_o subject_n to_o punish_v they_o and_o redress_v their_o grievance_n one_o to_o another_o and_o therefore_o they_o need_v not_o and_o ought_v not_o to_o take_v these_o extraordinary_a mean_n which_o god_n see_v often_o fit_a only_a and_o necessary_a for_o the_o punish_n and_o dispossess_v of_o king_n but_o of_o so_o intricate_a a_o nature_n be_v the_o matter_n in_o hand_n that_o i_o have_v scarce_o unravel_v one_o doubt_n when_o present_o there_o arise_v another_o at_o this_o rate_n say_v you_o even_o a_o good_a king_n instance_n king_n charles_n the_o martyr_n may_v be_v destroy_v by_o a_o usurper_n and_o yet_o the_o usurper_n be_v not_o to_o be_v question_v but_o own_a as_o supreme_a certain_o god_n never_o intend_v to_o destroy_v a_o good_a king_n so_o and_o therefore_o if_o a_o usurper_n destroy_v such_o a_o king_n he_o can_v be_v of_o god_n set_v up_o and_o therefore_o be_v not_o to_o be_v own_v as_o supreme_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o i_o can_v without_o sorrow_n reflect_v upon_o the_o horrid_a murder_n of_o that_o gracious_a monarch_n a_o prince_n of_o unspotted_a integrity_n who_o be_v certain_o the_o best_a of_o king_n who_o for_o his_o piety_n of_o life_n may_v rid_v with_o the_o strict_a votary_n and_o for_o the_o manner_n of_o his_o death_n with_o the_o most_o fame_a martyr_n and_o so_o far_o be_v he_o from_o bring_v a_o curse_n either_o upon_o the_o nation_n or_o himself_o by_o any_o sin_n of_o his_o own_o that_o if_o ever_o the_o goodness_n of_o a_o king_n can_v atone_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o people_n his_o certain_o can_v have_v do_v it_o but_o it_o be_v not_o always_o the_o sin_n of_o a_o king_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o such_o overturning_n but_o very_o often_o indeed_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n though_o god_n know_v we_o be_v too_o apt_a to_o lay_v the_o blame_n off_o ourselves_o and_o slander_v the_o lord_n be_v anoint_v and_o this_o happen_v according_a to_o samuel_n menace_n to_o the_o people_n that_o if_o they_o shall_v do_v wicked_o they_o shall_v be_v destroy_v both_o they_o and_o their_o king._n god_n be_v many_o time_n please_v for_o the_o punishment_n of_o a_o sinful_a people_n to_o remove_v good_a
