A42657	Siniorragia the sifters sieve broken, or a reply to Doctor Boughen's sifting my case of conscience touching the Kings coronation oath : wherein is cleared that bishops are not jure divino, that their sole government without the help of presbyters is an ursurpation and an innovation, that the Kings oath at coronation is not to be extended to preserve bishops, with the ruine of himself and kingdome / by John Geree.	Geree, John, 1601?-1649.	1648 (1648)	Wing G599; ESTC R26434	102,019	146

take_v the_o apostle_n to_o be_v the_o foundation_n be_v it_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o person_n authority_n or_o doctrine_n their_o doctrine_n i_o believe_v sir_n and_o will_v you_o compare_v

the_o contrary_n case_n of_o conscience_n resolve_v my_o second_o antagonist_n exceed_v the_o first_o both_o in_o subtlety_n and_o peremptoriness_n for_o he_o plain_o affirm_v that_o the_o king_n

be_v free_a which_o if_o they_o do_v by_o promise_n justice_n bind_v they_o to_o performance_n but_o if_o by_o a_o oath_n the_o matter_n be_v lawful_a then_o be_v they_o bind_v in_o religion_n and_o conscience_n for_o a_o oath_n add_v a_o religious_a bond_n unto_o god_n if_o this_o be_v not_o so_o no_o oath_n be_v bind_v to_o they_o i_o answer_v first_o it_o be_v a_o ground_n lay_v down_o by_o this_o author_n in_o the_o same_o place_n that_o no_o oath_n be_v obligatorie_n beyond_o the_o intention_n of_o it_o and_o then_o i_o first_o propound_v it_o to_o consideration_n whether_o the_o intention_n of_o this_o oath_n be_v not_o only_o against_o a_o tyrannous_a invasion_n on_o the_o right_n of_o the_o clergy_n not_o against_o a_o orderly_a alteration_n of_o they_o if_o any_o prove_v inconvenient_a and_o to_o protect_v they_o against_o violence_n not_o against_o legal_a way_n of_o change_n for_o first_o this_o be_v as_o much_o as_o be_v rational_a for_o a_o king_n to_o undertake_v and_o therefore_o in_o right_a reason_n the_o oath_n shall_v have_v no_o other_o sense_n if_o the_o word_n of_o the_o oath_n will_v bear_v it_o as_o the_o word_n of_o this_o oath_n will_n second_o this_o oath_n to_o the_o clergy_n must_v not_o be_v intend_v in_o a_o sense_n inconsistent_a with_o the_o king_n oath_n to_o the_o people_n first_o take_v for_o their_o protection_n in_o their_o law_n and_o liberty_n for_o then_o the_o latter_a oath_n will_v be_v a_o present_a breach_n of_o the_o former_a and_o so_o unlawful_a now_o one_o of_o the_o privilege_n of_o the_o people_n be_v that_o the_o peer_n and_o commons_o in_o parliament_n have_v power_n with_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o king_n to_o alter_v whatever_o in_o any_o particular_a estate_n be_v inconvenient_a to_o the_o whole_a and_o therefore_o he_o can_v afterward_o engage_v himself_o to_o any_o particular_a estate_n to_o exempt_v it_o from_o this_o power_n for_o by_o that_o oath_n at_o least_o cessit_fw-la jure_fw-la svo_fw-la in_o this_o author_n judgement_n the_o clergy_n and_o their_o privilege_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o parliament_n or_o they_o be_v not_o i_o hope_v they_o will_v not_o now_o claim_v a_o exemption_n from_o fecular_a power_n but_o if_o they_o be_v under_o parliamentary_a power_n how_o can_v it_o be_v rational_o conceive_v to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o king_n oath_n to_o preserve_v the_o privilege_n of_o the_o clergy_n against_o that_o power_n to_o which_o they_o be_v legal_o subject_a or_o how_o be_v the_o oath_n in_o that_o sense_n consistent_a with_o the_o privilege_n of_o the_o nation_n former_o swear_v to_o by_o the_o king_n if_o the_o oath_n have_v such_o a_o sense_n in_o time_n of_o popery_n when_o the_o clergy_n be_v a_o distinct_a corporation_n yet_o when_o that_o exemption_n be_v abolish_v as_o a_o branch_n of_o antichristian_a usurpation_n the_o change_n of_o their_o condition_n must_v needs_o change_v the_o intention_n of_o the_o oath_n unless_o they_o will_v say_v that_o the_o crown_n stand_v still_o engage_v to_o they_o to_o maintain_v such_o privilege_n as_o by_o act_n of_o parliament_n be_v long_o since_o abolish_v which_o be_v to_o make_v his_o oath_n to_o they_o contrariant_n to_o that_o take_v before_o for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o law_n it_o be_v apparent_a then_o to_o make_v the_o intention_n of_o the_o oath_n to_o be_v against_o a_o legal_a alteration_n by_o parliament_n make_v it_o unlawful_a and_o so_o not_o obligatorie_n and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o intend_v against_o legal_a alteration_n the_o king_n may_v pass_v a_o bill_n for_o the_o abolition_n of_o episcopacy_n when_o his_o house_n of_o parliament_n think_v it_o convenient_a and_o petition_n for_o it_o without_o
