as_o much_o bind_v to_o observe_v their_o own_o law_n as_o the_o people_n of_o judah_n be_v they_o now_o if_o this_o be_v that_o which_o i_o will_v prove_v what_o need_n be_v there_o of_o so_o many_o

up_o too_o and_o add_v in_o all_o case_n and_o to_o all_o intent_n etc._n etc._n as_o much_o oblige_v whereas_o it_o be_v enough_o if_o they_o oblige_v as_o much_o in_o the_o present_a case_n and_o to_o the_o present_a purpose_n without_o run_v any_o further_o and_o i_o do_v assert_v that_o entail_v of_o the_o crown_n make_v by_o humane_a law_n do_v as_o much_o oblige_v the_o subject_n to_o own_o the_o authority_n of_o their_o rightful_a king_n by_o those_o law_n and_o to_o disow_v the_o authority_n of_o a_o usurper_n as_o the_o entail_v of_o god_n upon_o the_o posterity_n of_o david_n do_v oblige_v the_o subject_n of_o judah_n to_o own_o joash_n and_o to_o depose_v and_o slay_v athaliah_n and_o let_v we_o see_v what_o the_o dr_n have_v to_o say_v to_o it_o he_o reply_n the_o dispute_n in_o general_n about_o the_o authority_n and_o obligation_n of_o humane_a law_n be_v very_o impertinent_a to_o this_o purpose_n for_o no_o man_n deny_v it_o very_o well_o but_o i_o doubt_v 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 universal_o obligatory_a than_o any_o mere_a humane_a law_n though_o make_v by_o man_n who_o have_v their_o authority_n of_o government_n and_o consequent_o of_o make_v law_n from_o god_n and_o i_o believe_v the_o author_n be_v the_o first_o man_n who_o have_v equal_v humane_a law_n with_o those_o law_n which_o be_v immediate_o give_v by_o god_n now_o i_o think_v the_o dr._n have_v some_o fetch_n in_o put_v in_o these_o same_o in_o all_o case_n and_o to_o all_o intent_n and_o purpose_n but_o do_v i_o ever_o say_v that_o mere_a humane_a law_n be_v as_o sacred_a as_o divine_a law_n but_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 one_o be_v make_v by_o god_n himself_o and_o the_o other_o by_o his_o authority_n and_o this_o for_o the_o reason_n that_o i_o give_v because_o all_o humane_a law_n that_o be_v just_o bound_v in_o conscience_n and_o need_v the_o dr._n be_v tell_v what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o humane_a law_n bind_v in_o conscience_n which_o have_v a_o immediate_a respect_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_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 hope_v the_o obligation_n may_v be_v equal_a with_o respect_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n though_o the_o law_n themselves_o be_v not_o equal_a in_o all_o case_n and_o to_o all_o intent_n and_o purpose_n and_o i_o wonder_v where_o be_v the_o singularity_n of_o assert_v this_o as_o the_o dr._n out_o of_o extraordinary_a candour_n have_v a_o mind_n to_o insinuate_v but_o say_v he_o the_o dispute_n between_o divine_a and_o humane_a law_n and_o a_o divine_a and_o humane_a entail_v of_o the_o crown_n be_v of_o a_o very_a different_a nature_n though_o they_o be_v both_o the_o law_n of_o the_o country_n for_o which_o they_o be_v make_v i._n e._n though_o they_o be_v both_o law_n and_o though_o they_o both_o receive_v their_o bind_a power_n as_o they_o be_v law_n and_o though_o the_o difference_n the_o dr._n contend_v for_o be_v that_o the_o one_o be_v a_o law_n of_o god_n and_o the_o other_o be_v a_o law_n of_o man_n yet_o it_o seem_v the_o dispute_n about_o law_n will_v not_o serve_v the_o turn_n and_o therefore_o they_o must_v be_v consider_v not_o as_o law_n but_o as_o entail_v though_o i_o must_v confess_v i_o can_v see_v no_o difference_n in_o that_o for_o if_o they_o be_v entail_v they_o be_v law_n and_o they_o be_v law_n as_o they_o be_v entail_v and_o i_o do_v not_o very_o well_o see_v how_o their_o consideration_n can_v be_v sever_v or_o what_o need_n there_o be_v for_o it_o but_o for_o all_o that_o 43._o p._n 43._o the_o dr._n tell_v we_o it_o will_v easy_o appear_v if_o we_o compare_v god_n make_v king_n by_o a_o providential_a settlement_n of_o they_o in_o the_o throne_n with_o a_o divine_a and_o with_o a_o humane_a entail_v a_o divine_a entail_v be_v god_n settle_v the_o crown_n on_o such_o a_o family_n by_o the_o express_a revelation_n of_o his_o will_n and_o though_o god_n shall_v after_o this_o settle_v a_o prince_n in_o the_o throne_n by_o his_o providence_n to_o who_o the_o crown_n do_v not_o belong_v by_o this_o entail_v such_o a_o providence_n will_v not_o justify_v subject_n in_o submit_v to_o such_o a_o providential_a king_n when_o it_o be_v in_o their_o power_n to_o set_v the_o right_a heir_n upon_o the_o throne_n for_o this_o will_v be_v to_o expound_v providence_n against_o the_o express_a revelation_n of_o god_n will_n but_o a_o humane_a entail_v be_v only_o a_o providential_a settlement_n of_o the_o crown_n on_o such_o a_o family_n and_o what_o be_v se●●●d_v only_o by_o providence_n may_v be_v un●●●led_v by_o providence_n again_o for_o where_o god_n make_v king_n only_o by_o providence_n he_o can_v unmake_v they_o by_o his_o providence_n also_o and_o make_v new_a one_o and_o what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o the_o purpose_n and_o what_o signify_v this_o tedious_a relation_n of_o his_o hypothesis_n which_o we_o must_v have_v at_o every_o turn_n and_o what_o be_v this_o to_o the_o difference_n of_o the_o dispute_n between_o divine_a and_o humane_a law_n and_o divine_a and_o humane_a entail_v all_o that_o concern_v that_o be_v that_o a_o divine_a entail_v be_v god_n providential_a settle_v the_o crown_n by_o the_o express_a revelation_n of_o his_o will_n i._n e._n it_o be_v a_o divine_a law_n and_o a_o

know_v whether_o it_o bind_v as_o a_o act_n of_o providence_n or_o as_o a_o law_n but_o it_o seem_v the_o law_n of_o entail_v be_v to_o be_v submit_v to_o not_o as_o law_n but_o as_o providence_n and_o if_o we_o must_v talk_v in_o this_o cant_n i_o say_v that_o a_o divine_a entail_v be_v god_n providential_a settlement_n of_o the_o crown_n by_o express_a revelation_n that_o a_o humane_a entail_v be_v god_n providential_a settlement_n by_o a_o humane_a law_n but_o usurpation_n be_v a_o bare_a act_n or_o permission_n of_o providence_n and_o no_o settlement_n of_o the_o crown_n at_o

by_o divine_a law_n the_o dr._n say_v what_o be_v settle_v by_o providence_n may_v be_v unsettle_a by_o providence_n again_o very_o well_o but_o than_o it_o be_v the_o same_o degree_n of_o

permission_n of_o providence_n against_o a_o providential_a settlement_n by_o law_n but_o all_o this_o while_n my_o answer_n be_v not_o touch_v which_o be_v that_o the_o people_n of_o other_o kingdom_n be_v as_o much_o bind_v to_o observe_v their_o own_o law_n as_o the_o people_n of_o judah_n be_v they_o god_n entail_v be_v the_o political_a law_n of_o that_o kingdom_n and_o a_o humane_a entail_v be_v the_o law_n of_o other_o hereditary_a kingdom_n and_o the_o law_n of_o other_o country_n oblige_v in_o conscience_n as_o well_o as_o the_o law_n of_o judah_n and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o own_o the_o authority_n of_o a_o usurper_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n because_o contrary_a to_o their_o law_n and_o their_o obligation_n to_o they_o neither_o be_v it_o so_o in_o any_o
other_o country_n for_o the_o same_o reason_n but_o here_o the_o dr._n shift_n and_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o dispute_v about_o the_o authority_n and_o obligation_n of_o humane_a law_n be_v impertinent_a to_o the_o purpose_n but_o give_v no_o reason_n except_o his_o say_n for_o no_o man_n deny_v it_o be_v a_o reason_n he_o say_v after_o that_o the_o dispute_v between_o divine_a and_o humane_a law_n and_o divine_a and_o humane_a entail_v be_v of_o a_o very_a different_a nature_n and_o it_o may_v be_v so_o or_o it_o may_v not_o be_v so_o for_o any_o thing_n he_o have_v say_v for_o his_o compare_v a_o divine_a and_o humane_a entail_v make_v no_o difference_n in_o that_o particular_a but_o this_o be_v trifle_v and_o amuse_v not_o answer_v the_o single_a question_n be_v whether_o they_o be_v law_n or_o no_o law_n and_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v as_o such_o be_v a_o humane_a entail_v the_o law_n of_o a_o hereditary_a kingdom_n and_o do_v it_o oblige_v as_o such_o then_o if_o other_o kingdom_n be_v as_o much_o bind_v to_o observe_v their_o law_n as_o the_o people_n of_o judah_n be_v they_o it_o plain_o follow_v that_o usurpation_n can_v be_v admit_v against_o a_o legal_a right_n in_o other_o kingdom_n any_o more_o than_o it_o can_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n but_o this_o be_v impertinent_a to_o the_o purpose_n i._n e._n to_o the_o drs._n purpose_n the_o dr._n go_v on_o this_o discover_v the_o fallacy_n of_o what_o he_o add_v we_o do_v not_o oppose_v humane_a law_n to_o god_n authority_n but_o we_o oppose_v law_n that_o be_v make_v by_o god_n authority_n and_o which_o be_v a_o rule_n to_o we_o to_o providence_n which_o be_v no_o rule_n well!_o this_o i_o say_v and_o where_o be_v the_o fallacy_n now_o say_v he_o i_o will_v ask_v the_o author_n whether_o the_o law_n of_o england_n which_o entail_v the_o crown_n be_v not_o humane_a law_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v yes_o and_o moreover_o they_o bound_v in_o conscience_n with_o respect_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n but_o i_o can_v tell_v what_o the_o dr._n will_v call_v they_o whether_o providential_a settlement_n or_o providence_n for_o it_o seem_v they_o have_v no_o influence_n on_o the_o people_n subjection_n otherwise_o than_o as_o they_o be_v providence_n and_o not_o as_o law_n back_v with_o god_n authority_n but_o say_v he_o if_o they_o be_v i_o ask_v whether_o they_o do_v not_o oppose_v these_o humane_a law_n to_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n in_o make_v king_n by_o his_o providence_n i_o answer_v no_o for_o god_n make_v king_n by_o his_o providence_n according_a to_o legal_a right_n but_o it_o be_v another_o question_n whether_o a_o usurper_n possess_v of_o the_o throne_n by_o providence_n be_v a_o king_n of_o god_n make_v or_o be_v make_v a_o king_n by_o god_n authority_n and_o the_o question_n as_o the_o drs._n put_v it_o be_v sophistical_a he_o mix_v and_o confound_v what_o ought_v to_o be_v divide_v whether_o king_n be_v make_v by_o god_n authority_n and_o whether_o they_o be_v make_v by_o providence_n be_v two_o question_n which_o he_o make_v one_o when_o king_n be_v make_v according_a to_o legal_a right_n they_o be_v make_v by_o god_n authority_n for_o the_o law_n have_v god_n authority_n but_o that_o a_o providential_a possession_n of_o the_o throne_n be_v god_n authority_n or_o that_o a_o person_n so_o possess_v be_v make_v a_o king_n by_o god_n authority_n be_v that_o which_o the_o dr._n have_v not_o yet_o and_o i_o suppose_v will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o prove_v the_o dr._n add_v to_o avoid_v this_o he_o will_v not_o call_v they_o humane_a law_n but_o law_n make_v by_o god_n authority_n to_o avoid_v what_o that_o sophistical_a question_n before_o i_o never_o so_o much_o as_o think_v of_o it_o and_o i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o i_o shall_v for_o it_o affect_v nothing_o that_o i_o have_v say_v and_o now_o i_o do_v know_v it_o i_o do_v not_o see_v any_o such_o strength_n in_o it_o as_o will_v need_v any_o art_n or_o pain_n to_o avoid_v it_o but_o to_o save_v he_o further_o trouble_v i_o will_v tell_v he_o all_o the_o design_n i_o have_v in_o say_v the_o law_n be_v make_v by_o god_n authority_n be_v only_o to_o show_v the_o obligation_n of_o humane_a law_n that_o they_o bind_v in_o conscience_n and_o be_v a_o rule_n to_o we_o and_o which_o providence_n be_v not_o and_o therefore_o all_o the_o pain_n the_o dr._n take_v to_o prove_v that_o humane_a law_n be_v not_o divine_a law_n concern_v not_o i_o at_o all_o nor_o the_o question_n he_o dispute_v only_o against_o his_o own_o fancy_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v not_o trouble_v the_o reader_n with_o that_o but_o go_v on_o to_o the_o next_o well!_o say_v he_o but_o these_o law_n be_v our_o rule_n they_o be_v so_o when_o they_o be_v not_o overrule_v by_o a_o superior_a authority_n 44._o p._n 44._o but_o that_o they_o may_v be_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n very_o true_a but_o be_v the_o act_n or_o permission_n of_o providence_n that_o authority_n of_o god_n that_o overrule_v the_o law_n divine_a law_n be_v under_o god_n authority_n as_o well_o as_o humane_a law_n and_o may_v be_v overrule_v by_o he_o when_o he_o please_v but_o that_o be_v no_o proof_n that_o act_n of_o providence_n over-rule_v they_o and_o the_o question_n be_v not_o whether_o god_n authority_n may_v over-rule_v humane_a law_n but_o whether_o by_o mere_a providence_n he_o do_v over-rule_v they_o and_o till_o god_n do_v over-rule_v they_o they_o be_v our_o rule_n and_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n be_v not_o our_o rule_n well_o this_o i_o say_v to_o this_o he_o reply_v if_o by_o this_o he_o mean_v we_o must_v not_o make_v providence_n the_o rule_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a to_o we_o i_o e._n that_o we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o lawful_a for_o we_o to_o do_v what_o ever_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n do_v i_o grant_v it_o for_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a not_o his_o providence_n very_o well_o we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o lawful_a to_o do_v whatsoever_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n do_v but_o may_v we_o think_v it_o lawful_a to_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n do_v as_o it_o be_v mere_o a_o act_n of_o providence_n in_o opposition_n to_o a_o plain_a and_o know_a rule_n allow_v and_o authorise_a by_o god_n himself_o as_o be_v the_o case_n of_o humane_a law_n this_o be_v the_o single_a point_n but_o let_v we_o see_v what_o a_o kind_n of_o rule_n the_o dr._n make_v of_o providence_n but_o say_v he_o if_o he_o mean_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n can_v direct_v our_o duty_n can_v lay_v some_o new_a obligation_n on_o we_o and_o discharge_v the_o old_a one_o this_o be_v manifest_o false_a in_o a_o thousand_o instance_n what_o do_v providence_n do_v this_o as_o a_o rule_n that_o be_v the_o question_n and_o i_o doubt_v to_o make_v it_o out_o that_o we_o must_v have_v a_o new_a notion_n of_o a_o rule_n as_o we_o have_v have_v of_o providence_n and_o a_o through_o settlement_n what_o if_o providence_n direct_v our_o duty_n it_o do_v not_o make_v it_o but_o the_o duty_n be_v to_o be_v measure_v by_o the_o rule_n and_o not_o by_o providence_n what_o if_o providence_n lay_v new_a obligation_n on_o we_o and_o discharge_v the_o old_a one_o the_o obligation_n and_o the_o discharge_n too_o be_v to_o be_v take_v from_o the_o rule_n and_o not_o

when_o they_o be_v not_o oblige_v in_o conscience_n to_o such_o usurpation_n in_o the_o state_n as_o overthrow_v the_o church_n the_o former_a reply_n still_o and_o of_o which_o there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o mention_n in_o the_o case_n of_o allegiance_n but_o i_o think_v the_o direct_a contrary_n for_o i_o ask_v have_v they_o be_v bind_v to_o submit_v notwithstanding_o such_o invasion_n on_o

of_o england_n as_o well_o as_o by_o submission_n to_o that_o government_n which_o say_v he_o i_o believe_v notwithstanding_o their_o ready_a compliance_n in_o take_v the_o oath_n the_o clergy_n at_o this_o day_n will_v more_o universal_o have_v refuse_v than_o they_o do_v then_o what_o if_o it_o be_v a_o duty_n to_o submit_v and_o take_v the_o oath_n do_v allegiance_n to_o the_o civil_a government_n cease_v to_o be_v a_o duty_n if_o they_o overturn_v the_o church_n this_o will_v reflect_v upon_o st._n paul_n doctrine_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o primitive_a christian_n under_o the_o heathen_a emperor_n and_o i_o doubt_v i_o have_v very_o good_a reason_n to_o make_v this_o answer_n i_o hope_v the_o be_v disable_v to_o keep_v a_o live_n especial_o if_o it_o be_v a_o good_a one_o be_v not_o a_o sufficient_a reason_n to_o rebel_v the_o dr._n be_v pleasant_a in_o his_o reply_n and_o tell_v i_o he_o will_v desire_v i_o careful_o to_o consider_v it_o for_o it_o do_v not_o concern_v they_o very_o well_o but_o it_o concern_v he_o or_o else_o his_o reason_n above_o be_v very_o ridiculous_a for_o if_o man_n may_v refuse_v to_o submit_v when_o it_o be_v a_o duty_n because_o they_o can_v hold_v a_o good_a live_v according_a to_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o church_n then_o i_o doubt_v it_o follow_v that_o civil_a duty_n be_v to_o be_v measure_v not_o by_o a_o through_o settlement_n but_o by_o ecclesiastical_a preferment_n another_o difference_n the_o dr._n mention_v be_v the_o whole_a government_n in_o church_n and_o state_n be_v overturn_v which_o be_v the_o fundamental_a constitution_n of_o the_o nation_n i_o answer_v this_o be_v but_o change_v the_o form_n of_o government_n and_o the_o convocation_n speak_v of_o degenerate_a form_n of_o government_n and_o usurp_v power_n be_v not_o to_o be_v limit_v to_o a_o king_n but_o to_o a_o government_n and_o the_o usurp_a upon_o the_o lord_n and_o commons_o as_o well_o as_o upon_o the_o king_n be_v but_o usurpation_n still_o he_o reply_v i_o grant_v it_o but_o when_o such_o degenerate_a form_n be_v not_o thorough_o settle_v the_o subversion_n of_o the_o fundamental_a constitution_n be_v a_o reasonable_a prejudice_n against_o submission_n when_o it_o be_v not_o a_o duty_n so_o that_o we_o have_v nothing_o but_o the_o s●me_n answer_v over_o and_o over_o in_o his_o case_n of_o

come_v into_o a_o narrow_a compass_n and_o with_o respect_n to_o the_o duty_n of_o submission_n to_o usurp_v power_n the_o question_n be_v not_o whether_o they_o attain_v the_o usurpation_n by_o
