difference_n between_o we_o and_o the_o papist_n in_o this_o particular_a for_o 1._o the_o papist_n contend_v for_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o depose_v king_n which_o we_o do_v not_o 2._o the_o papist_n plead_v for_o a_o power_n to_o depose_v a_o prince_n in_o case_n that_o he_o turn_v heretic_n which_o we_o do_v not_o for_o we_o hold_v that_o though_o a_o prince_n may_v leave_v and_o change_v his_o religion_n the_o subject_n be_v not_o thereby_o excuse_v from_o their_o allegiance_n 3_o the_o papist_n do_v not_o only_o hold_v ●●_o lawful_a to_o depose_v and_o thus_o to_o depose_v their_o prince_n but_o to_o kill_v he_o also_o 〈◊〉_d that_o a_o private_a man_n invest_v with_o the_o pope_n authority_n may_v do_v thus_o all_o which_o we_o abhor_v from_o why_o therefore_o shall_v the_o doctor_n charge_v we_o thus_o and_o make_v the_o world_n believe_v that_o we_o favour_v the_o popish_a doctrine_n in_o this_o particular_a but_o as_o the_o parliament_n army_n be_v scandalize_v by_o the_o adversary_n say_v there_o be_v many_o papist_n in_o their_o army_n to_o help_v on_o their_o design_n so_o be_v our_o doctrine_n scandalize_v by_o our_o adversary_n say_v that_o we_o make_v use_v of_o popish_a argument_n to_o strengthen_v our_o opinion_n but_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o we_o leave_v to_o all_o the_o world_n to_o judge_v of_o but_o to_o prove_v this_o the_o doctor_n say_v further_a that_o by_o this_o reason_n the_o pope_n assume_v a_o power_n of_o curb_v or_o depose_v king_n for_o that_o if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o power_n in_o the_o church_n in_o case_n the_o civil_a magistrate_n will_v not_o discharge_v his_o trust_n the_o church_n have_v not_o mean_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o catholic_n faith_n and_o its_o own_o safety_n ans_fw-fr but_o what_o likeness_n be_v there_o between_o that_o of_o the_o papist_n and_o this_o of_o we_o the_o papist_n saying_n the_o church_n have_v a_o power_n of_o preserve_v its_o own_o safety_n and_o therefore_o the_o pope_n may_v depose_v we_o say_v the_o kingdom_n have_v a_o power_n to_o preserve_v itself_o and_o therefore_o if_o the_o king_n neglect_v the_o trust_n the_o state_n for_o the_o present_a be_v to_o look_v unto_o it_o and_o as_o for_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o church_n we_o turn_v the_o doctor_n argument_n upon_o himself_o thus_o if_o the_o church_n can_v be_v preserve_v where_o the_o officer_n be_v a_o heretic_n unless_o the_o church_n have_v a_o power_n to_o reject_v he_o after_o once_o or_o twice_o admonition_n then_o can_v a_o kingdom_n have_v a_o power_n to_o preserve_v itself_o when_o the_o officer_n be_v unfaithful_a unless_o the_o kingdom_n have_v a_o power_n either_o to_o depose_v he_o or_o to_o look_v to_o their_o own_o matter_n till_o thing_n be_v better_a settle_v but_o the_o church_n have_v excommunication_n grant_v to_o it_o by_o christ_n himself_o for_o its_o own_o preservation_n neither_o can_v we_o conceive_v how_o a_o church_n can_v preserve_v itself_o from_o evil_n and_o error_n unless_o it_o have_v a_o power_n to_o cast_v out_o the_o wicked_a officer_n as_o in_o the_o body_n natural_a it_o can_v preserve_v itself_o unless_o nature_n have_v give_v it_o a_o power_n to_o deliver_v itself_o from_o its_o own_o burden_n therefore_o the_o commonweal_n also_o by_o the_o like_a reason_n can_v have_v a_o power_n to_o preserve_v itself_o unless_o it_o have_v a_o power_n to_o deliver_v itself_o from_o its_o burden_n but_o in_o case_n that_o a_o officer_n be_v unfaithful_a we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o it_o i●_n lawful_a for_o the_o kingdom_n to_o depose_v he_o therefore_o it_o may_v be_v lawful_a for_o themselves_o social_o consider_v statewise_o in_o time_n of_o danger_n to_o help_v themselves_o neither_o herein_o as_o the_o doctor_n will_v do_v we_o appropinquate_v to_o the_o romish_a doctrine_n for_o the_o papist_n from_o this_o power_n of_o the_o church_n do_v infer_v a_o power_n unto_o the_o pope_n and_o not_o unto_o the_o church_n or_o community_n second_o the_o doctor_n ask_v we_o this_o question_n by_o way_n of_o his_o second_o answer_n if_o every_o state_n have_v such_o mean_n to_o provide_v for_o its_o

have_v they_o for_o their_o liberty_n have_v they_o this_o of_o resistance_n tertullian_n in_o his_o apology_n say_v thus_o the_o christian_n have_v number_n and_o force_v sufficient_a to_o withstand_v but_o they_o have_v no_o warrant_n ans_fw-fr 1._o the_o question_n be_v wrong_v state_v it_o shall_v have_v be_v make_v thus_o if_o any_o state_n have_v such_o mean_n to_o provide_v for_o its_o safety_n what_o mean_v of_o safety_n have_v the_o roman_a state_n under_o the_o roman_a emperor_n when_o as_o he_o do_v say_v what_o mean_v of_o safety_n have_v the_o christian_a religion_n under_o the_o roman_a emperor_n christian_n religion_n and_o the_o state_n be_v two_o different_a thing_n second_o in_o the_o primitive_a time_n the_o christian_n indeed_o have_v none_o of_o this_o power_n of_o resistance_n nor_o warrant_v for_o it_o as_o tertullian_n speak_v because_o the_o roman_a state_n be_v not_o with_o they_o but_o suppose_v that_o the_o roman_a senate_n or_o parliament_n have_v stand_v up_o for_o they_o and_o with_o they_o the_o representative_a body_n of_o the_o whole_a empire_n and_o this_o be_v our_o case_n not_o as_o the_o doctor_n ●ayes_v it_o then_o will_v not_o the_o christian_n have_v make_v resistance_n for_o their_o own_o defence_n no_o question_n but_o they_o will_v and_o will_v have_v know_v that_o they_o have_v warrant_v therein_o who_o may_v not_o see_v that_o have_v but_o half_a a_o eye_n the_o vast_a difference_n between_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o christian_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n and_o we_o they_o not_o have_v the_o state_n to_o join_v with_o they_o they_o not_o be_v the_o representative_a body_n of_o the_o empire_n as_o it_o be_v now_o with_o we_o yet_o this_o objection_n make_v a_o great_a outcry_n and_o there_o be_v some_o thread_n of_o it_o run_v through_o the_o doctor_n book_n but_o how_o easy_o it_o may_v be_v cut_v let_v the_o world_n judge_n there_o be_v no_o more_o likeness_n between_o our_o condition_n &_o the_o

the_o state_n be_v with_o the_o doctor_n reply_n that_o though_o the_o senate_n of_o rome_n be_v against_o the_o christian_n of_o those_o time_n yet_o if_o the_o people_n have_v the_o first_o right_a and_o all_o power_n be_v from_o the_o people_n that_o people_n must_v rise_v up_o and_o resist_v because_o the_o senate_n do_v not_o discharge_v the_o trust_n and_o so_o it_o will_v be_v in_o this_o

they_o or_o enslave_v they_o and_o so_o may_v lay_v hold_n on_o this_o power_n of_o resistance_n for_o the_o representative_a body_n claim_v it_o by_o they_o ans_fw-fr concern_v the_o senate_n of_o rome_n and_o the_o people_n of_o the_o roman_a empire_n we_o say_v that_o though_o the_o emperor_n and_o the_o senate_n have_v be_v for_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o christian_n yet_o if_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o empire_n have_v joint_o rise_v for_o the_o christian_n i_o make_v no_o question_n but_o that_o many_o of_o those_o that_o ●ied_v will_v so_o far_o have_v resist_v that_o

here_o and_o afterward_o in_o this_o section_n that_o if_o upon_o our_o ground_n the_o king_n will_v not_o discharge_v his_o tru●●_n that_o therefore_o it_o fall_v to_o the_o representative_a body_n of_o the_o people_n to_o see_v to_o i●_n then_o the_o people_n have_v this_o power_n may_v also_o say_v if_o the_o member_n of_o the_o tw●●_n house_n do_v not_o discharge_v their_o trust_n commit_v
