buckanan_n rather_o account_v the_o lose_n of_o a_o monster_n than_o the_o lose_n of_o a_o man_n i_o may_v rather_o promise_v to_o maintain_v and_o preserve_v that_o which_o be_v the_o just_a power_n and_o the_o just_a greatness_n of_o any_o prince_n or_o person_n whatsoever_o in_o the_o world_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o i_o may_v without_o breach_n of_o promise_n judge_v the_o unjust_a action_n of_o the_o say_a person_n and_o bring_v he_o unto_o justice_n too_o it_o have_v ever_o be_v the_o unjust_a usurpation_n of_o tyrannous_a prince_n by_o the_o unlawful_a claim_n of_o great_a

therefore_o guess_v that_o all_o those_o scruple_n pretend_o build_v upon_o the_o covenant_n have_v more_o of_o show_n then_o of_o strength_n and_o such_o as_o in_o this_o pretend_v religion_n do_v

punish_v by_o that_o lord_n against_o who_o he_o have_v offend_v who_o be_v the_o people_n and_o those_o that_o represent_v they_o i_o must_v be_v ingenious_a and_o confess_v that_o shickard_n seem_v to_o question_v whether_o the_o jew_n ever_o do_v put_v their_o prince_n to_o death_n he_o say_v they_o do_v not_o with_o every_o kind_n of_o punishment_n nor_o as_o he_o think_v with_o capital_a

to_o put_v it_o out_o of_o doubt_n that_o instance_n which_o i_o give_v in_o my_o last_o out_o of_o the_o 2_o chro._n 25.27_o make_v it_o clear_a that_o they_o do_v put_v amaziah_n king_n of_o judah_n

the_o 11._o now_o there_o be_v three_o reason_n that_o make_v i_o something_o confident_a that_o this_o act_n of_o put_v king_n amaziah_n unto_o death_n be_v lawful_a and_o imitable_a first_o because_o the_o holyghost_n record_v it_o without_o mention_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v blemish_v it_o it_o be_v not_o note_v there_o as_o in_o other_o conspiracy_n that_o it_o be_v do_v by_o any_o

second_o 21.29_o 2_o king_n 15.10_o 2_o king_n 21.29_o because_o the_o holy-ghost_n do_v not_o record_v any_o public_a cognizance_n that_o be_v take_v for_o the_o thing_n as_o a_o crime_n nor_o any_o

the_o true_a reason_n why_o he_o do_v not_o find_v any_o thing_n among_o the_o writing_n of_o the_o rabbin_n now_o extant_a be_v this_o because_o their_o work_n be_v not_o ancient_a enough_o to_o give_v instance_n of_o this_o practice_n for_o beside_o pecuniary_a mulcke_n and_o whip_n the_o jew_n have_v not_o for_o divers_a year_n 11._o mainord_n in_o hilch_n sanhedrin_n cap._n 11._o any_o other_o pwishment_n among_o they_o for_o any_o crime_n whatsoever_o it_o be_v observe_v of_o the_o criminalia_fw-la judicia_fw-la that_o they_o cease_v among_o the_o jew_n some_o year_n before_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o second_o temple_n and_o so_o much_o be_v observe_v out_o of_o the_o jerusalem_n and_o babylovish_n talmud_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o jew_n do_v not_o put_v any_o to_o death_n for_o any_o fact_n whatsoever_o a_o instance_n of_o which_o we_o find_v in_o the_o case_n of_o one_o that_o defile_v himself_o with_o a_o beast_n *_o which_o by_o the_o very_a know_a law_n be_v death_n 58._o in_o berachos_n fol._n 58._o yet_o he_o be_v only_o whip_v for_o it_o and_o the_o reason_n that_o be_v give_v for_o it_o be_v this_o because_o from_o the_o time_n that_o they_o be_v force_v to_o go_v from_o their_o own_o land_n they_o do_v not_o put_v any_o man_n to_o death_n that_o be_v they_o have_v no_o power_n or_o at_o least_o they_o think_v so_o to_o put_v any_o unto_o

but_o it_o seem_v that_o power_n be_v take_v from_o they_o and_o they_o can_v not_o execute_v it_o so_o that_o you_o do_v see_v there_o may_v be_v a_o great_a reason_n why_o shickard_n can_v not_o light_v upon_o a_o passage_n that_o may_v show_v he_o that_o the_o jew_n do_v put_v any_o of_o their_o king_n to_o death_n because_o that_o the_o jew_n for_o many_o year_n even_o for_o some_o year_n
