distinction_n of_o imperial_a law_n to_o which_o we_o must_v pay_v our_o passive_a obedience_n we_o have_v many_o people_n among_o we_o who_o be_v very_o much_o at_o ease_n and_o wrap_v up_o

the_o same_o mind_n till_o i_o see_v the_o blind_a slavish_a passive_a obedience_n set_v up_o and_o so_o industrious_o promote_v among_o we_o for_o that_o passive_a obedience_n be_v popery_n

whole_o at_o the_o discretion_n of_o their_o prince_n this_o be_v so_o clear_a a_o consequence_n that_o our_o author_n himself_o own_v it_o and_o say_v express_o p._n 242._o in_o all_o sovereign_a

can_v but_o think_v that_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v slave_n all_o over_o neither_o can_v i_o see_v the_o necessity_n of_o our_o author_n must_v be_v slave_n for_o sovereignty_n in_o the_o government_n do_v not_o at_o all_o imply_v slavery_n in_o the_o subject_a in_o any_o one_o particular_a as_o i_o will_v prove_v to_o he_o even_o in_o his_o own_o way_n by_o the_o notion_n of_o a_o

he_o that_o the_o notion_n of_o a_o sovereign_n imply_v nothing_o in_o it_o but_o superiority_n and_o as_o for_o the_o term_n and_o measure_n of_o this_o superiority_n they_o must_v be_v know_v some_o other_o way_n and_o be_v not_o involve_v in_o the_o formal_a conception_n of_o a_o sovereign_n nor_o be_v all_o out_o so_o certain_a and_o demonstrable_a as_o the_o property_n of_o a_o cube_n or_o a_o

duty_n as_o he_o may_v see_v in_o the_o same_o act._n and_o yet_o i_o be_o certain_a our_o author_n will_v not_o undertake_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o right_n of_o a_o absolute_a and_o arbitrary_a sovereignty_n do_v belong_v to_o every_o master_n of_o a_o servant_n or_o that_o that_o servant_n be_v a_o slave_n as_o to_o his_o life_n or_o liberty_n either_o by_o the_o common_a law_n of_o

pretence_n of_o our_o christianity_n which_o for_o that_o end_n must_v go_v under_o the_o name_n of_o a_o suffer_a religion_n and_o be_v call_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o cross_n in_o such_o a_o sense_n as_o if_o it_o will_v not_o suffer_v the_o professor_n of_o it_o to_o live_v whereas_o i_o have_v heretofore_o show_v from_o 1_o cor._n 7.21_o 22_o 23._o that_o christianity_n be_v so_o far_o from_o enslave_v we_o or_o divest_v we_o of_o those_o right_n and_o privilege_n which_o we_o have_v already_o that_o it_o encourage_v we_o to_o procure_v more_o liberty_n and_o franchise_n if_o we_o

that_o buy_v they_o as_o the_o author_n of_o constantius_n do_v i_o with_o deny_v a_o passive_a crucify_a saviour_n or_o as_o the_o author_n of_o jovian_a do_v with_o burlesque_a the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o cross_n but_o i_o abhor_v all_o such_o abuse_n of_o scripture_n to_o abuse_v a_o adversary_n for_o i_o know_v that_o all_o honest_a man_n will_v soon_o renounce_v a_o hundred_o such_o silly_a doctrine_n which_o it_o may_v be_v hitherto_o they_o have_v no_o occasion_n to_o examine_v than_o either_o renounce_v their_o bless_a saviour_n or_o any_o part_n of_o his_o religion_n but_o to_o return_v it_o be_v plain_a therefore_o that_o christianity_n do_v not_o alter_v man_n condition_n for_o the_o worse_o nor_o turn_v freeman_n as_o the_o people_n of_o england_n have_v always_o be_v into_o slave_n as_o to_o their_o life_n and_o liberty_n neither_o under_o the_o pretence_n of_o passive_a obedience_n do_v it_o give_v their_o person_n or_o estate_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o violence_n when_o the_o law_n bid_v they_o keep_v they_o and_o protect_v they_o in_o defend_v they_o but_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n it_o charge_v they_o be_v you_o not_o the_o servant_n of_o man_n which_o indeed_o be_v a_o dictate_v of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o what_o man_n of_o themselves_o will_v observe_v if_o they_o be_v not_o degenerate_a for_o voluntary_a slavery_n be_v a_o sin_n against_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n which_o no_o man_n in_o his_o right_a mind_n can_v be_v guilty_a of_o and_o therefore_o the_o canon-law_n say_v charter_n that_o if_o there_o have_v be_v no_o drunkenness_n there_o have_v be_v no_o slavery_n it_o seem_v it_o be_v the_o product_n of_o a_o blind_a drunken_a bargain_n and_o we_o have_v hitherto_o see_v no_o better_a fruit_n of_o our_o drunken_a health_n and_o huzza_n but_o much_o worse_o for_o it_o be_v a_o great_a sin_n for_o a_o man_n to_o betray_v other_o into_o slavery_n with_o he_o than_o only_o to_o make_v bold_a with_o himself_o and_o it_o be_v still_o a_o great_a sin_n to_o betray_v a_o trust_n to_o do_v it_o and_o to_o break_v oath_n and_o be_v perjure_v to_o betray_v that_o trust_n for_o that_o be_v make_v

have_v be_v utter_o unlawful_a and_o a_o horrid_a sin_n to_o assist_v subject_n in_o the_o violation_n of_o their_o duty_n and_o allegiance_n and_o to_o turn_v at_o least_o a_o whole_a year_n

to_o partake_v of_o that_o damnation_n wherewith_o st._n paul_n threaten_v this_o sin_n who_o be_v willing_a to_o purchase_v it_o at_o so_o dear_a a_o rate_n by_o which_o it_o appear_v that_o this_o

for_o the_o support_n of_o this_o passive_a doctrine_n before_o i_o come_v to_o examine_v the_o particular_a text_n which_o this_o author_n have_v allege_v i_o shall_v say_v somewhat_o in_o general_a concern_v the_o great_a impertinency_n of_o interess_a scripture_n in_o this_o controversy_n for_o this_o reason_n because_o christ_n meddle_v not_o with_o the_o secular_a government_n of_o this_o

because_o the_o gospel_n do_v not_o bar_v nor_o abolish_v any_o politic_a law_n which_o position_n he_o always_o hold_v and_o bishop_n bilson_n do_v believe_v that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v refute_v the_o truth_n whereof_o i_o shall_v prove_v both_o by_o direct_a argument_n and_o by_o parallel_a instance_n 1._o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o meddle_v with_o the_o secular_a government_n of_o this_o
