deprive_v they_o of_o their_o legal_a freehold_n especial_o whilst_o their_o representative_n be_v keep_v out_o of_o parliament_n it_o be_v against_o common_a justice_n and_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_a in_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la 4._o to_o conclude_v admit_v mr._n crofton_n do_v true_o recite_v the_o word_n in_o the_o petition_n of_o right_n whereas_o many_o of_o they_o have_v a_o oath_n administer_v to_o they_o not_o warrantable_a by_o the_o law_n and_o statute_n of_o this_o realm_n yet_o my_o assertion_n stand_v firm_a enough_o that_o the_o covenant_n be_v against_o the_o petition_n of_o right_n 5._o for_o it_o be_v not_o warrantable_a by_o the_o law_n and_o statute_n of_o this_o realm_n whether_o you_o consider_v the_o manner_n of_o impose_v and_o take_v or_o the_o very_a matter_n of_o it_o as_o have_v full_o appear_v before_o 6._o it_o be_v true_a oath_n be_v give_v by_o college_n and_o corporation_n but_o be_v they_o not_o warrantable_a by_o the_o law_n and_o statute_n of_o the_o realm_n if_o not_o i_o be_o not_o afraid_a to_o infer_v that_o such_o as_o impose_v they_o run_v thereby_o into_o a_o praemunire_n if_o they_o be_v than_o my_o argument_n pass_v untouched_a 7._o indeed_o these_o particular_a oath_n be_v not_o in_o so_o many_o word_n find_v in_o the_o statute_n yet_o who_o doubt_n but_o that_o the_o king_n have_v power_n by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n to_o grant_v such_o charter_n and_o to_o give_v authority_n to_o college_n and_o corporation_n to_o administer_v such_o oath_n 8._o again_o who_o can_v or_o dare_v lay_v claim_n to_o such_o a_o power_n but_o the_o king_n or_o administer_v such_o oath_n without_o power_n from_o the_o king_n much_o less_o against_o his_o express_a will_n and_o proclamation_n case_n xvii_o whether_o the_o covenant_n be_v not_o against_o former_a obligation_n 1._o i_o conclude_v it_o be_v so_o and_o therefore_o void_a the_o force_n of_o the_o consequence_n can_v be_v resist_v in_o those_o excellent_a word_n of_o our_o great_a casuist_n obligation_n antecedens_fw-la impedit_fw-la effectum_fw-la juramenti_fw-la subsequentis_fw-la ne_fw-la possit_fw-la obligare_fw-la semper_fw-la

obey_v authority_n to_o keep_v our_o oath_n and_o promise_n to_o serve_v the_o church_n in_o our_o generation_n which_o we_o shall_v now_o review_v in_o their_o order_n sect_n 1._o whether_o the_o covenant_n be_v not_o against_o the_o law_n of_o obedience_n to_o authority_n 1._o you_o will_v persuade_v we_o that_o i_o affirm_v this_o only_a upon_o my_o former_a principle_n because_o the_o covenant_n be_v against_o the_o right_n of_o the_o king_n the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n the_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n and_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_n which_o you_o conceive_v be_v all_o lay_v in_o the_o dust_n 2._o perhaps_o you_o may_v find_v these_o principle_n more_o potent_a and_o vigorous_a in_o their_o resurrection_n however_o though_o i_o have_v a_o general_n reflection_n upon_o these_o former_a argument_n yet_o i_o add_v a_o particular_a force_n to_o the_o present_a argument_n which_o have_v raise_v a_o dust_n it_o seem_v you_o do_v not_o see_v in_o these_o word_n 3._o more_o particular_o god_n first_o oblige_v we_o to_o be_v subject_a and_o to_o obey_v our_o governor_n and_o the_o covenant_n will_v engage_v we_o to_o disobey_v disown_n and_o destroy_v they_o i_o mean_v our_o governor_n in_o the_o church_n the_o covenant_n will_v discharge_v we_o of_o our_o obedience_n and_o oblige_v we_o to_o resistance_n contrary_a to_o god_n express_a obligation_n upon_o we_o which_o can_v be_v 4._o god_n do_v immediate_o by_o his_o word_n and_o likewise_o by_o the_o mediation_n and_o interposition_n of_o civil_a authority_n command_v we_o to_o obey_v to_o be_v subject_n and_o not_o to_o resist_v our_o spiritual_a governor_n the_o covenant_n will_v engage_v to_o break_v all_o at_o once_o and_o at_o once_o to_o violate_v the_o law_n of_o god_n the_o king_n and_o the_o church_n and_o all_o authority_n 5._o our_o duty_n be_v positive_a to_o be_v subject_n 2._o negative_a not_o to_o resist_v whosoever_o resist_v the_o power_n resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n wherefore_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v subject_a for_o conscience_n sake_n rom._n 13._o now_o both_o these_o be_v break_v by_o the_o covenant_n the_o one_o by_o omission_n the_o other_o by_o commission_n 6._o first_o our_o positive_a duty_n of_o obedience_n and_o subjection_n carry_v in_o it_o by_o universal_a consent_n to_o defend_v preserve_v to_o honour_v observe_v and_o to_o be_v faithful_a to_o our_o governor_n now_o how_o these_o be_v consistent_a with_o endeavour_n to_o extirpate_v i_o can_v see_v 7._o again_o our_o negative_a part_n or_o nonresistance_n be_v transgress_v too_o by_o the_o apostle_n logic_n not_o to_o be_v subject_n be_v to_o resist_v whosoever_o resist_v wherefore_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v subject_a however_o to_o endeavour_v to_o extirpate_v be_v too_o plain_o to_o resist_v 8._o for_o endeavour_n to_o extirpate_v a_o government_n be_v both_o far_o beyond_o the_o compass_n of_o subjection_n they_o be_v no_o part_n either_o of_o active_a or_o passive_a obedience_n and_o deep_a in_o the_o nature_n of_o resistance_n most_o proper_o take_v 9_o endeavour_n to_o extirpate_v have_v action_n in_o they_o and_o be_v therefore_o more_o than_o passive_a obedience_n their_o action_n also_o be_v diametrical_o opposite_a to_o active_a obedience_n 10._o again_o endeavour_n to_o extirpate_v do_v formal_o carry_v resistance_n in_o they_o yea_o they_o be_v the_o formal_a act_n of_o high_a resistance_n not_o of_o the_o law_n only_o but_o of_o the_o government_n itself_o not_o in_o the_o action_n only_o but_o in_o the_o very_o be_v of_o it_o for_o extirpation_n be_v the_o end_n and_o utmost_a of_o resistance_n and_o therefore_o endeavour_v to_o extirpate_v be_v proper_o resistance_n 11._o pray_v resolve_v i_o to_o what_o part_n of_o our_o duty_n to_o our_o parent_n will_v you_o reduce_v endeavour_n to_o extirpate_v their_o government_n over_o we_o or_o how_o can_v such_o endeavour_n square_a and_o conform_v to_o the_o command_v of_o god_n and-the_a law_n of_o the_o land_n not_o to_o resist_v but_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o our_o governor_n ecclesiastical_a and_o civil_a 12._o it_o be_v vain_a to_o say_v we_o be_v bind_v to_o obey_v he_o law_n yet_o we_o may_v endeavour_v to_o have_v they_o change_v it_o be_v not_o safe_a to_o argue_v from_o the_o law_n which_o be_v but_o the_o rule_n to_o our_o governor_n who_o be_v the_o object_n of_o our_o obedience_n 13._o if_o this_o consequence_n be_v good_a upon_o a_o oath_n take_v of_o the_o like_a nature_n against_o the_o civil_a power_n we_o may_v hold_v ourselves_o bind_v to_o endeavour_v to_o extirpate_v both_o king_n and_o parliament_n 14._o for_o government_n by_o monarchy_n and_o the_o constitution_n of_o parliament_n you_o will_v not_o say_v they_o be_v in_o themselves_o necessary_a to_o our_o civil_a state_n and_o if_o because_o episcopacy_n be_v doubt_v to_o be_v jure_fw-la divino_fw-la you_o conclude_v it_o lawful_a to_o swear_v against_o it_o or_o have_v so_o swear_v to_o endeavour_v to_o extirpate_v it_o i_o dare_v not_o undertake_v to_o find_v a_o way_n for_o the_o civil_a government_n to_o escape_v the_o danger_n the_o inference_n be_v easy_a from_o government_n to_o government_n though_o the_o one_o be_v in_o the_o church_n and_o the_o other_o in_o the_o state_n especial_o see_v we_o can_v resist_v the_o one_o and_o not_o disobey_v the_o other_o sect_n 2._o whether_o the_o covenant_n be_v not_o against_o former_a oath_n and_o promise_n 1._o this_o i_o also_o affirm_v and_o consequent_o that_o the_o covenant_n be_v prevent_v by_o such_o prior_n obligation_n the_o case_n be_v full_o state_v in_o these_o word_n of_o our_o reverend_a casuist_n si_fw-mi cvi_fw-la juramentum_fw-la suscipiendum_fw-la defereratur_fw-la
