A89562	A copy of a letter written by Mr. Stephen Marshall to a friend of his in the city, for the necessary vindication of himself and his ministry, against that altogether groundlesse, most unjust, and ungodly aspersion cast upon him by certaine malignants in the city, and lately printed at Oxford, in their Mendacium Aulicum, otherwise called Mercurius Aulicus, and sent abroad into other nations to his perpetuall infamy. In which letter the accusation is fully answered. And together with that, the lawfulnesse of the Parliaments taking up defensive arms is briefly and learnedly asserted and demonstrated, texts of Scripture cleared, all objections to the contrary answered, to the full satisfaction of all those that desire to have their consciences informed in this great controversie.; Plea for defensive arms.	Marshall, Stephen, 1594?-1655.	1643 (1643)	Wing M750; Thomason E102_10; ESTC R21572	25,726	33

have_v both_o learned_a and_o teach_v to_o this_o purpose_n first_o that_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o god_n will_n that_o in_o all_o country_n especial_o when_o and_o where_o the_o people_n be_v numerous_a magistracy_n be_v set_v up_o with_o a_o sufficiency_n of_o power_n and_o authority_n to_o rule_v for_o the_o public_a good_a and_o that_o even_o among_o they_o who_o be_v under_o the_o

so_o appoint_v of_o god_n as_o to_o exclude_v the_o other_o from_o be_v a_o lawful_a government_n three_o that_o the_o bound_n and_o limit_n of_o the_o magistrate_n lawful_a power_n of_o command_v and_o the_o subject_n necessary_a obey_v must_v be_v sound_a and_o take_v out_o of_o the_o several_a law_n custom_n and_o constitution_n of_o those_o several_a state_n and_o commonwealth_n there_o

the_o power_n of_o magistrate_n in_o one_o country_n differ_v from_o the_o power_n of_o magistrate_n in_o another_o country_n and_o how_o the_o duty_n of_o subject_n differ_v in_o each_o must_v be_v find_v only_o in_o the_o law_n of_o the_o respective_a place_n that_o no_o man_n right_n must_v be_v detain_v from_o he_o that_o caesar_n shall_v have_v render_v to_o he_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v
