true_a where_o the_o matter_n be_v unlawful_a in_o itself_o but_o not_o where_o the_o obligation_n come_v to_o cease_v and_o this_o i_o grant_v also_o to_o be_v true_a but_o then_o a_o man_n ought_v

the_o priest_n yet_o it_o be_v never_o unlawful_a in_o itself_o for_o a_o man_n to_o eat_v bread_n nor_o do_v such_o dedication_n hinder_v the_o priest_n from_o be_v charitable_a and_o in_o case_n

sir_n the_o five_o commandment_n will_v be_v in_o force_n and_o you_o and_o other_o some_o time_n or_o other_o will_v find_v so_o but_o as_o you_o order_v the_o matter_n here_o you_o make_v it_o either_o of_o no_o force_n or_o of_o force_n to_o very_o ill_a purpose_n for_o so_o i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v when_o it_o lay_v no_o other_o obligation_n upon_o the_o child_n but_o to_o dispossess_v the_o father_n of_o his_o estate_n or_o to_o knock_v out_o his_o brain_n do_v not_o you_o think_v you_o have_v do_v a_o heroic_a act_n thus_o to_o dispute_v away_o the_o five_o cammannment_n but_o at_o this_o rate_n i_o be_o afraid_a you_o will_v paint_v white-chapel_n black_a and_o make_v people_n doubtful_a how_o he_o be_v a_o preacher_n of_o righteousness_n who_o devise_n trick_n to_o take_v

for_o his_o turn_n but_o here_o he_o accuse_v i_o of_o ignorance_n nonsense_n blunders_n and_o what_o not_o and_o all_o along_o after_o speak_v in_o such_o insolent_a language_n as_o i_o think_v be_v only_o fit_a to_o be_v despise_v and_o therefore_o i_o will_v not_o do_v he_o the_o pleasure_n to_o take_v any_o far_a notice_n of_o it_o only_o i_o think_v it_o disingenuous_a to_o cite_v my_o word_n by_o the_o half_n and_o then_o cry_v out_o of_o nonsense_n and_o inconsistency_n but_o it_o be_v impudence_n assoon_o as_o this_o be_v do_v to_o repeat_v the_o follow_a word_n which_o both_o make_v they_o sense_n and_o take_v away_o all_o inconsistency_n but_o to_o my_o argument_n he_o answer_v that_o be_v under_o government_n right_o so_o call_v do_v not_o metamorphose_v we_o into_o beast_n yet_o mere_a absolute_a power_n come_v very_o near_o it_o i_o know_v not_o what_o he_o mean_v by_o his_o government_n right_o so_o call_v i_o hope_v it_o be_v not_o usurpation_n that_o parenthesis_n will_v better_o have_v become_v another_o than_o he_o but_o his_o answer_n be_v neither_o to_o the_o purpose_n nor_o true_a for_o there_o neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v any_o government_n but_o somewhere_o there_o be_v lodge_v in_o it_o that_o which_o he_o call_v a_o absolute_a power_n and_o thus_o in_o his_o way_n of_o argue_v he_o have_v near_o metamorphose_v all_o mankind_n into_o beast_n unless_o there_o be_v any_o such_o as_o be_v under_o no_o government_n at_o all_o i_o as_o hearty_o wish_v as_o he_o or_o any_o other_o man_n can_v that_o power_n may_v be_v well_o use_v and_o yet_o i_o think_v i_o ought_v to_o be_v content_a to_o allow_v my_o governor_n their_o fail_n without_o mutiny_v against_o they_o and_o displace_v they_o this_o will_v be_v not_o only_o endless_a but_o to_o

work_n his_o distinction_n of_o a_o private_a injury_n from_o that_o wherein_o the_o public_a be_v concern_v be_v not_o practicable_a upon_o his_o principle_n for_o let_v it_o be_v make_v lawful_a on_o any_o account_n to_o depose_v the_o supreme_a governor_n and_o the_o least_o and_o most_o private_a injury_n imaginable_a shall_v be_v interpret_v a_o breach_n of_o the_o subject_n privilege_n

call_v it_o be_v so_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o obligation_n as_o to_o dissolve_v it_o when_o that_o be_v want_v every_o man_n will_v be_v prone_a to_o think_v his_o own_o particular_a good_a to_o

the_o only_a material_a thing_n he_o say_v be_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o political_a oath_n be_v such_o that_o they_o be_v reciprocal_a now_o though_o i_o do_v not_o think_v this_o will_v hold_v yet_o to_o what_o purpose_n shall_v i_o enter_v into_o a_o discourse_n about_o oath_n when_o our_o business_n be_v with_o the_o duty_n which_o be_v antecedent_n to_o the_o oath_n and_o to_o the_o

word_n which_o will_v have_v clear_v my_o mean_v and_o other_o wherein_o the_o strength_n of_o my_o argument_n lay_v next_o he_o sum_v up_o my_o argument_n false_o and_o not_o in_o my_o sense_n and_o after_o this_o he_o give_v no_o direct_a answer_n to_o it_o but_o raise_v three_o question_n and_o those_o too_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o some_o answer_n he_o have_v find_v in_o archdeacon_n mason_n and_o those_o answer_n come_v not_o up_o to_o the_o case_n such_o mighty_a pain_n be_v some_o man_n at_o to_o say_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n but_o however_o we_o must_v wait_v his_o motion_n my_o argument_n he_o sum_v up_o thus_o that_o be_v they_o i._n e._n the_o clergy_n receive_v their_o authority_n from_o god_n no_o civil_a power_n can_v disable_v they_o from_o the_o exercise_n of_o their_o duty_n and_o if_o it_o do_v they_o be_v bind_v to_o quit_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n where_o so_o disable_v now_o i_o be_v so_o far_o from_o simple_o assert_v that_o the_o civil_a power_n can_v disable_v they_o from_o exercise_v their_o function_n that_o i_o there_o instance_a in_o case_n where_o they_o lawful_o may_v but_o as_o he_o have_v word_v it_o he_o confute_v himself_o for_o if_o they_o exercise_v only_o as_o he_o call_v it_o their_o duty_n it_o be_v certain_a no_o civil_a power_n lawful_o can_v disable_v they_o from_o the_o exercise_n of_o it_o and_o if_o he_o grant_v it_o their_o duty_n in_o that_o case_n he_o justify_v they_o for_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v hinder_v from_o discharge_v his_o duty_n nor_o do_v i_o say_v that_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o quit_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n where_o so_o disable_v for_o the_o church_n may_v own_v they_o when_o the_o state_n disallow_v they_o i_o say_v in_o such_o case_n of_o unjust_a deprivation_n they_o may_v exercise_v their_o office_n at_o their_o peril_n which_o either_o may_v be_v do_v in_o the_o church_n or_o in_o separation_n from_o that_o particular_a church_n according_a as_o the_o doctrine_n there_o teach_v and_o the_o term_n of_o communion_n in_o it_o stand_v the_o argument_n be_v thus_o false_o represent_v he_o answer_v it_o with_o question_n the_o method_n i_o suppose_v be_v new_a and_o he_o a_o man_n in_o fashion_n the_o first_o be_v this_o whether_o a_o bishop_n due_o consecrate_a or_o a_o minister_n due_o ordain_v may_v not_o be_v lawful_o suspend_v and_o deprive_v from_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o office_n by_o the_o secular_a power_n wh●re_v there_o be_v sufficient_a reason_n for_o it_o now_o this_o question_n plain_o answer_v itself_o for_o i_o think_v any_o thing_n may_v be_v do_v for_o which_o there_o be_v a_o sufficient_a reason_n and_o he_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a heart_a man_n who_o will_v not_o allow_v he_o this_o but_o then_o there_o be_v other_o question_n to_o be_v ask_v viz._n what_o be_v in_o such_o case_n a_o sufficient_a reason_n whether_o there_o be_v sufficient_a reason_n in_o this_o particular_a case_n and_o last_o if_o he_o please_v whether_o no_o authority_n in_o the_o depriver_n and_o no_o crime_n as_o to_o they_o in_o the_o deprive_v be_v a_o sufficient_a reason_n for_o suspension_n or_o deprivation_n it_o be_v a_o odd_a way_n of_o answer_v a_o man_n in_o a_o particular_a case_n to_o float_v in_o general_n and_o keep_v as_o far_o from_o the_o question_n as_o may_v be_v but_o perhaps_o he_o will_v mend_v that_o anon_o at_o present_a we_o must_v attend_v to_o the_o solution_n of_o his_o question_n which_o in_o his_o singular_a way_n he_o perform_v by_o recite_v two_o objection_n and_o as_o many_o answer_n to_o they_o from_o mr._n mason_n and_o to_o make_v short_a work_n i_o will_v grant_v he_o all_o that_o mason_n say_v where_o there_o be_v as_o our_o author_n call_v it_o a_o sufficient_a reason_n for_o so_o do_v and_o i_o hope_v he_o will_v not_o have_v it_o do_v without_o or_o against_o reason_n and_o so_o pass_v by_o the_o act_n of_o parliament_n which_o he_o have_v leave_v i_o to_o peruse_v at_o leisure_n till_o i_o have_v more_o spare_a time_n i_o will_v direct_o come_v to_o his_o second_o question_n and_o try_v whether_o he_o have_v any_o better_a fortune_n there_o he_o be_v not_o agree_v with_o himself_o how_o he_o shall_v word_n his_o second_o question_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v set_v down_o that_o where_o he_o express_v himself_o most_o at_o large_a and_o maintain_v the_o afirmative_a whether_o it_o may_v not_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o secular_a power_n to_o deprive_v person_n in_o order_n for_o crime_n commit_v against_o the_o state_n and_o particular_o upon_o refusal_n to_o give_v security_n to_o the_o government_n for_o their_o peaceable_a behaviour_n and_o allegiance_n by_o oath_n this_o he_o affirm_v and_o he_o say_v i_o express_o deny_v which_o be_v express_o false_a as_o may_v appear_v from_o those_o very_a word_n of_o i_o which_o he_o have_v cite_v to_o prove_v his_o assertion_n for_o there_o i_o do_v allow_v a_o deprivation_n by_o the_o secular_a power_n where_o either_o the_o just_a censure_n of_o the_o church_n have_v pass_v on_o any_o or_o they_o do_v merit_v deposition_n and_o that_o i_o think_v they_o may_v do_v though_o a_o censure_n be_v not_o actual_o pass_v upon_o they_o but_o if_o you_o will_v have_v the_o deprivation_n valid_a even_o to_o their_o acquiescence_n where_o the_o secular_a power_n or_o that_o which_o call_v itself_o a_o secular_a power_n say_v that_o a_o crime_n be_v commit_v against_o it_o you_o must_v not_o only_o justify_v queen_n mary_n in_o deprive_v edward_n the_o sixth_n bishop_n but_o you_o must_v condemn_v those_o deprive_a bishop_n for_o make_v a_o schism_n and_o not_o join_v in_o communion_n as_o layman_n i._n e._n that_o they_o do_v not_o turn_v papist_n but_o let_v we_o examine_v his_o defence_n i_o answer_v say_v he_o with_o mason_n where_o be_v the_o act_n of_o the_o church_n in_o the_o deposition_n of_o ablathar_n and_o where_o be_v the_o ecclesiastical_a crime_n he_o be_v charge_v with_o do_v mason_n then_o use_v thus_o to_o answer_v with_o question_n but_o your_o question_n shall_v have_v answer_n however_o and_o first_o i_o think_v it_o not_o very_o clear_a whether_o the_o jewish_a church_n do_v afford_v so_o sufficient_a a_o ecclesiastical_a remedy_n against_o their_o criminal_a high_a priest_n as_o the_o christian_a church_n do_v against_o criminal_a bishop_n and_o if_o so_o than_o it_o be_v altogether_o necessary_a both_o for_o church_n and_o state_n that_o their_o king_n who_o be_v of_o god_n own_o appointment_n and_o something_o more_o than_o a_o mere_a secular_a person_n shall_v interpose_v his_o authority_n without_o any_o deference_n to_o ecclesiastical_a censure_n second_o you_o may_v inquire_v but_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o believe_v that_o neither_o you_o nor_o i_o can_v certain_o tell_v whether_o abiathar_n be_v censure_v by_o the_o sanhedrim_n or_o not_o for_o if_o it_o be_v not_o record_v that_o he_o be_v so_o neither_o be_v it_o that_o he_o be_v not_o three_o though_o it_o be_v very_o convenient_a in_o itself_o agreeable_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o church_n and_o make_v much_o for_o the_o peace_n both_o of_o church_n and_o state_n that_o christian_a king_n in_o punish_v ecclesiastic_n will_v take_v the_o censure_n of_o the_o church_n along_o with_o they_o which_o will_v make_v the_o condemnation_n of_o such_o person_n more_o terrible_a and_o notorious_a yet_o if_o the_o clergy_n shall_v refuse_v as_o it_o will_v be_v their_o fault_n so_o it_o do_v not_o hinder_v the_o secular_a power_n to_o punish_v offender_n according_a to_o justice_n but_o all_o this_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n and_o will_v do_v he_o no_o service_n because_o there_o be_v case_n wherein_o ecclesiastic_n deprive_v by_o even_o a_o lawful_a secular_a power_n may_v yet_o remain_v oblige_v to_o execute_v their_o commission_n from_o christ_n though_o at_o their_o peril_n or_o else_o the_o apostle_n and_o primitive_a bishop_n must_v be_v condemn_v and_o if_o so_o it_o be_v much_o more_o lawful_a when_o for_o adhere_v to_o right_n they_o be_v deprive_v only_o by_o a_o pretend_a power_n but_o i_o suppose_v this_o virtuoso_fw-la will_v say_v that_o jehojada_n have_v be_v bind_v to_o leave_v of_o all_o care_n of_o discharge_v his_o duty_n of_o high_a priest_n if_o athaliah_n have_v deprive_v he_o as_o to_o his_o second_o question_n where_o be_v the_o ecclesiastical_a crime_n abiathar_n be_v charge_v with_o i_o answer_v that_o though_o i_o speak_v of_o ecclesiastical_a censure_n yet_o i_o do_v never_o limit_v the_o matter_n to_o pure_a ecclesiastical_a crime_n nor_o have_v i_o that_o i_o can_v remember_v so_o much_o as_o use_v that_o phrase_n for_o the_o church_n may_v censure_v whatsoever_o be_v contra_fw-la bonos_fw-es more_o be_v though_o at_o the_o same_o time_n the_o secular_a power_n punish_v it_o as_o a_o
