they_o must_v oblige_v as_o much_o and_o in_o such_o case_n only_o as_o will_v fit_v the_o drs._n turn_n but_o yet_o say_v he_o we_o think_v divine_a political_a law_n much_o more_o sacred_a and_o

as_o to_o their_o obligation_n the_o subject_n in_o other_o country_n be_v as_o much_o oblige_v to_o observe_v their_o political_a law_n as_o the_o people_n of_o judah_n be_v they_o though_o the_o

the_o formal_a reason_n that_o humane_a law_n oblige_v in_o conscience_n be_v not_o because_o they_o be_v mere_a humane_a law_n as_o the_o dr._n have_v a_o mind_n to_o phrase_n it_o but_o because_o it_o be_v the_o declare_a will_n of_o god_n they_o shall_v be_v obey_v and_o the_o obligation_n in_o conscience_n to_o humane_a law_n be_v resolve_v only_o into_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o i_o

according_a to_o he_o there_o must_v be_v something_o else_o visible_a beside_o force_n before_o it_o be_v a_o duty_n to_o obey_v such_o alteration_n and_o then_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o present_a

which_o be_v the_o only_a thing_n in_o controversy_n his_o construction_n be_v neither_o grammatical_a nor_o true_a not_o grammatical_a for_o he_o construe_v a_o substantive_n by_o a_o adjective_n

to_o this_o i_o answer_v this_o be_v no_o answer_n to_o the_o main_a point_n the_o question_n be_v whether_o in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o convocation_n a_o thorough_a settlement_n by_o what_o mean_v soever_o attain_v do_v not_o oblige_v the_o subject_n of_o judah_n to_o obedience_n as_o much_o as_o in_o any_o other_o country_n and_o though_o contrary_a to_o the_o entail_v on_o david_n posterity_n and_o it_o be_v plain_a they_o think_v so_o for_o they_o urge_v the_o very_a same_o duty_n of_o obedience_n and_o nonresistance_n to_o the_o babylonian_n and_o the_o roman_n as_o they_o do_v to_o the_o king_n of_o david_n family_n the_o babylonian_n and_o roman_n when_o their_o government_n be_v thorough_o settle_v among_o they_o their_o authority_n be_v as_o sacred_a and_o irresistible_a as_o joash_n or_o any_o other_o of_o their_o king_n who_o be_v so_o by_o the_o divine_a entail_v and_o let_v the_o dr._n if_o he_o can_v show_v i_o any_o one_o duty_n of_o subject_n which_o they_o require_v as_o due_a to_o the_o king_n of_o judah_n by_o the_o divine_a entail_v which_o they_o do_v not_o also_o require_v as_o equal_o due_a to_o the_o babylonian_n and_o roman_n which_o be_v clear_a to_o a_o demonstration_n that_o they_o think_v of_o no_o such_o difference_n in_o this_o matter_n but_o that_o a_o thorough_a settlement_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o every_o way_n as_o valid_a as_o in_o any_o other_o country_n and_o the_o inference_n be_v plain_a that_o therefore_o whatever_o possession_n of_o power_n athaliah_n have_v and_o whatever_o submission_n there_o be_v of_o the_o people_n to_o she_o afore_o that_o the_o dr._n be_v resolve_v to_o suppose_v they_o do_v not_o mean_a that_o to_o be_v the_o thorough_a settlement_n

and_o slay_v of_o athaliah_n but_o to_o this_o which_o be_v the_o main_a question_n the_o dr._n say_v not_o one_o word_n and_o all_o that_o he_o say_v be_v that_o when_o they_o be_v at_o their_o own_o choice_n and_o have_v power_n they_o be_v bind_v to_o take_v the_o king_n on_o who_o god_n entail_v the_o crown_n but_o when_o they_o be_v under_o force_n no_o entail_v tho_o make_v by_o god_n himself_o can_v bind_v they_o and_o what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o the_o convocation_n speak_v of_o a_o thorough_a settlement_n without_o any_o respect_n to_o the_o difference_n between_o divine_a

he_o be_v for_o distinguish_v between_o divine_a and_o humane_a entail_v and_o athaliah_n may_v be_v depose_v and_o slay_v because_o she_o be_v a_o usurper_n against_o a_o divine_a entail_v and_o her_o government_n be_v a_o nullity_n when_o the_o right_a heir_n appear_v when_o he_o be_v press_v with_o the_o instance_n of_o the_o babylonian_n and_o roman_n who_o according_a to_o he_o be_v likewise_o usurper_n against_o the_o same_o divine_a entail_v than_o he_o be_v for_o distinguish_v between_o choice_n and_o force_n when_o they_o be_v at_o their_o own_o choice_n and_o have_v power_n they_o be_v oblige_v to_o take_v the_o king_n by_o god_n entail_v when_o under_o force_n god_n entail_v do_v not_o bind_v they_o so_o that_o this_o last_o distinction_n have_v eat_v up_o the_o
