from_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o people_n of_o state_n and_o commonwealthe_n the_o ground_n square_a and_o end_n of_o all_o good_a policy_n carry_v with_o it_o such_o a_o fair_a show_n of_o equity_n and_o necessity_n that_o like_a unto_o a_o violent_a stream_n it_o have_v carry_v many_o headlong_a in_o heat_n to_o condemn_v and_o reject_v utter_o these_o absolute_a monarchy_n as_o tyrannical_a and_o barbarous_a kind_n of_o government_n pernicious_a to_o man_n yea_o altogether_o unlawful_a and_o unmeete_a for_o the_o church_n of_o god_n but_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v deceive_v by_o any_o appearance_n or_o pretence_n whatsoever_o or_o in_o respect_n of_o any_o inconvenience_n although_o never_o so_o great_a to_o judge_v that_o to_o be_v unlawful_a and_o profane_a which_o god_n by_o establish_v it_o in_o his_o church_n have_v show_v to_o be_v holy_a and_o lawful_a but_o for_o the_o further_o resolve_v of_o this_o question_n it_o be_v requisite_a that_o we_o again_o put_v you_o in_o mind_n that_o we_o do_v not_o here_o speak_v either_o what_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o state_n of_o all_o kingdom_n in_o this_o behalf_n or_o that_o this_o be_v the_o best_a kind_n of_o government_n but_o only_o do_v show_v what_o be_v the_o state_n of_o this_o kingdom_n of_o israel_n in_o the_o which_o it_o seem_v that_o the_o whole_a power_n of_o rule_v the_o land_n be_v give_v by_o god_n and_o by_o the_o people_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o king_n without_o any_o exception_n whatsoever_o insomuch_o that_o the_o people_n do_v not_o reserve_v to_o themselves_o any_o power_n whereby_o they_o may_v lawful_o resist_v his_o authority_n or_o oppose_v themselves_o to_o his_o proceed_n although_o unlawful_a and_o unjust_a much_o less_o take_v from_o he_o the_o kingdom_n or_o to_o offer_v any_o manner_n of_o violence_n unto_o his_o person_n for_o the_o authority_n of_o this_o king_n over_o his_o people_n be_v no_o less_o than_o be_v the_o authority_n of_o a_o father_n in_o his_o family_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o child_n child_n who_o if_o he_o do_v injurious_o entreat_v any_o of_o they_o or_o not_o careful_o keep_v his_o own_o good_n or_o live_v any_o way_n disorderly_a it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o his_o child_n if_o not_o with_o silence_n to_o suffer_v it_o yet_o with_o great_a modesty_n to_o admonish_v he_o of_o it_o but_o if_o they_o shall_v join_v themselves_o together_o and_o offer_v any_o violence_n unto_o he_o especial_o if_o they_o shall_v throw_v he_o out_o of_o his_o house_n all_o man_n will_v count_v they_o rebellious_a and_o ungracious_a child_n but_o if_o they_o shall_v take_v his_o life_n from_o he_o they_o be_v to_o be_v esteem_v notorious_o wicked_a you_o rather_o as_o monster_n worthy_a to_o be_v abhor_v of_o all_o man_n so_o it_o seem_v that_o the_o state_n of_o this_o kingdom_n be_v such_o as_o that_o no_o subject_n of_o what_o place_n soever_o no_o not_o the_o whole_a people_n joint_o can_v lawful_o use_v any_o violence_n against_o the_o king_n person_n or_o proceed_n and_o that_o the_o king_n may_v although_o not_o lawful_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n of_o man_n or_o of_o nature_n yet_o safe_o and_o free_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o subject_n do_v whatsoever_o please_v he_o according_a as_o jacob_n foretell_v gen._n 49.9_o that_o juda_n the_o king_n of_o his_o brethren_n shall_v be_v as_o the_o great_a lion_n who_o when_o he_o lay_v himself_o down_o who_o shall_v raise_v he_o uppe_o or_o disquiet_v he_o the_o truth_n hereof_o appear_v in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o the_o story_n of_o the_o king_n who_o praesume_v upon_o this_o whole_a and_o undevided_a authority_n do_v never_o fear_v or_o doubt_v to_o do_v whatsoever_o they_o list_v without_o ask_v leave_n either_o at_o noble_n elder_n or_o people_n hence_o come_v that_o foolish_a and_o tyrannical_a answer_n which_o rehoboan_n make_v to_o the_o people_n threaten_v they_o 1._o king_n 12.12_o in_o this_o manner_n my_o least_o part_n shall_v be_v heavy_a than_o my_o father_n loin_n whereby_o he_o mean_v that_o he_o will_v increase_v those_o heavy_a burden_n of_o tribute_n which_o his_o father_n have_v lay_v upon_o they_o for_o but_o that_o he_o know_v very_o well_o the_o state_n of_o his_o kingdom_n to_o be_v such_o as_o that_o he_o may_v both_o say_v and_o do_v what_o he_o list_v without_o controlment_n he_o have_v be_v more_o than_o mad_a to_o make_v such_o a_o answer_n and_o hence_o it_o come_v that_o the_o idolatrous_a king_n do_v never_o stick_v by_o their_o sole_a authority_n to_o set_v up_o open_a idolatry_n not_o once_o mind_v who_o will_v be_v offend_v therewith_o and_o likewise_o the_o continual_a practice_n of_o the_o people_n do_v declare_v that_o they_o do_v not_o violent_o oppose_v themselves_o to_o the_o do_n either_o of_o the_o good_a or_o of_o the_o wicked_a king_n but_o suffer_v religion_n to_o stand_v and_o fall_v according_a to_o their_o pleasure_n yea_o the_o deal_n of_o god_n himself_o do_v prove_v the_o same_o who_o when_o he_o purpose_v to_o preserve_v david_n against_o the_o fury_n of_o saul_n will_v never_o suffer_v he_o to_o oppose_v ceila_n or_o any_o other_o of_o saules_n ●_z against_o he_o but_o make_v he_o fly_v first_o into_o the_o mountain_n and_o desert_n and_o afterwards_o out_o of_o the_o land_n to_o the_o philistine_n yea_o david_n although_o he_o be_v appoint_v by_o the_o express_a word_n of_o god_n to_o succee_v saul_n in_o the_o kingdom_n yet_o he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o lay_v violent_a hand_n upon_o he_o that_o as_o we_o read_v 1._o sam._n 24.6_o his_o heart_n smite_v he_o that_o be_v his_o conscience_n do_v accuse_v he_o that_o he_o have_v behave_v himself_o disloyal_o against_o the_o king_n in_o that_o he_o have_v offer_v violence_n to_o the_o king_n garment_n because_o that_o be_v as_o a_o threaten_n of_o death_n unto_o he_o and_o a_o great_a disgrace_n yea_o further_o we_o do_v not_o read_v that_o god_n do_v ever_o by_o any_o of_o his_o prophet_n stir_v up_o the_o people_n to_o maintain_v his_o true_a worship_n by_o violence_n against_o the_o king_n king_n or_o ever_o reprove_v they_o because_o they_o have_v suffer_v they_o to_o set_v uppe_o idolatry_n which_o be_v a_o evident_a proof_n of_o this_o point_n for_o if_o it_o have_v be_v lawful_a to_o resist_v in_o any_o case_n then_o sure_o in_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o glory_n but_o hereof_o there_o be_v a_o great_a question_n make_v for_o although_o this_o king_n have_v power_n in_o civil_a matter_n to_o do_v not_o only_o right_a &_o justice_n without_o the_o help_n of_o any_o other_o power_n but_o also_o wrong_a without_o resistance_n shall_v we_o therefore_o give_v unto_o he_o this_o power_n in_o the_o cause_n of_o religion_n that_o he_o may_v deface_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n at_o his_o pleasure_n it_o may_v seem_v much_o better_a that_o not_o only_a king_n shall_v be_v throw_v down_o from_o their_o throne_n but_o also_o that_o heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v go_v together_o then_o that_o god_n shall_v be_v dishonour_v and_o detestable_a idolatry_n erect_v we_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v a_o most_o fearful_a thing_n that_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n who_o have_v his_o authority_n from_o god_n shall_v use_v the_o same_o to_o dishonour_n god_n and_o thrust_v not_o only_a man_n out_o of_o their_o house_n &_o land_n but_o also_o the_o great_a god_n of_o heaven_n &_o earth_n out_o of_o his_o temple_n and_o church_n yea_o in_o truth_n in_o some_o sort_n out_o of_o the_o world_n for_o god_n have_v tie_v his_o visible_a church_n to_o this_o land_n and_o therefore_o we_o answer_v that_o as_o it_o be_v usual_o say_v si_fw-mi ius_fw-la violandum_fw-la regni_fw-la causâ_fw-la violandum_fw-la so_o si_fw-mi ius_fw-la regni_fw-la sit_fw-la violandum_fw-la religionis_fw-la causa_fw-la est_fw-la violandum_fw-la that_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n for_o any_o cause_n to_o resist_v their_o lawful_a king_n religion_n it_o be_v lawful_a in_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o true_a religion_n and_o god_n glory_n but_o as_o have_v be_v say_v it_o seem_v that_o the_o state_n of_o this_o kingdom_n will_v not_o bear_v any_o resistance_n no_o not_o in_o this_o case_n much_o less_o in_o any_o other_o no_o man_n yea_o no_o company_n of_o man_n can_v for_o any_o offence_n commit_v by_o the_o king_n either_o against_o god_n or_o man_n the_o first_o or_o second_o table_n call_v he_o to_o account_v summon_v he_o to_o appear_v in_o
