to_o themselves_o a_o liberty_n of_o resistance_n in_o certain_a case_n by_o express_a agreement_n which_o have_v be_v the_o custom_n in_o kingdom_n where_o resistance_n be_v allow_v or_o however_o

his_o covenant_n with_o adam_n with_o noah_n with_o abraham_n and_o with_o moses_n and_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o plain_a in_o scripture_n than_o that_o the_o child_n

and_o his_o child_n for_o if_o the_o person_n immediate_o consent_v to_o the_o set_n up_o a_o king_n oblige_v his_o son_n to_o pay_v allegiance_n to_o he_o then_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n they_o by_o their_o consent_n and_o submission_n in_o live_v under_o his_o government_n oblige_v their_o child_n and_o so_o on_o for_o four_o hundred_o year_n or_o as_o long_o as_o the_o government_n continue_v there_o be_v no_o need_n further_o to_o mention_v the_o obligation_n all_o man_n be_v under_o to_o their_o country_n for_o their_o protection_n and_o education_n from_o their_o infancy_n and_o for_o the_o many_o benefit_n they_o receive_v from_o the_o government_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o act_n of_o their_o parent_n be_v obligation_n enough_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o and_o they_o must_v be_v oblige_v by_o their_o parent_n choice_n as_o well_o as_o by_o their_o own_o and_o be_v not_o leave_v at_o liberty_n to_o deny_v their_o own_o consent_n if_o they_o think_v their_o ancestor_n have_v make_v a_o ill_a bargain_n but_o when_o we_o add_v to_o this_o god_n authority_n which_o be_v confer_v upon_o all_o that_o be_v due_o advance_v to_o sovereignty_n we_o have_v the_o sure_a ground_n for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o passive_a obedience_n though_o god_n do_v not_o give_v his_o authority_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o to_o null_n or_o frustrate_a legal_a right_n and_o claim_n he_o next_o proceed_v to_o consider_v the_o objection_n that_o may_v be_v make_v against_o his_o assertion_n the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o dispossess_v prince_n ought_v not_o to_o attempt_v the_o recovery_n of_o his_o throne_n nor_o any_o other_o prince_n to_o assist_v he_o in_o it_o which_o be_v to_o oppose_v god_n and_o to_o challenge_v that_o 25._o p._n 25._o which_o he_o have_v no_o long_o any_o right_n to_o he_o answer_v by_o no_o mean_n the_o providence_n of_o god_n remove_v king_n and_o set_v up_o king_n but_o alter_v no_o legal_a right_n nor_o forbid_v those_o who_o be_v dispossess_v of_o they_o to_o recover_v their_o right_n when_o they_o can_v while_o such_o a_o prince_n be_v in_o the_o throne_n it_o be_v a_o declaration_n of_o god_n will_n that_o he_o shall_v reign_v for_o some_o time_n long_o or_o short_a as_o god_n please_v and_o that_o be_v a_o obligation_n to_o subject_n to_o submit_v and_o obey_v for_o submission_n be_v owe_v only_o to_o god_n authority_n but_o that_o one_o prince_n be_v at_o present_a place_v in_o the_o throne_n and_o the_o other_o remove_v out_o of_o it_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v god_n will_n it_o shall_v always_o be_v so_o and_o therefore_o do_v not_o divest_v the_o dispossess_v prince_n of_o his_o legal_a right_n and_o claim_n nor_o forbid_v he_o to_o endeavour_v to_o reeover_o his_o throne_n nor_o forbid_v those_o who_o be_v under_o no_o obligation_n to_o the_o prince_n in_o possession_n to_o assist_v the_o dispossess_v prince_n to_o recover_v his_o legal_a right_n this_o answer_n seem_v to_o suppose_v that_o though_o the_o prince_n in_o possession_n have_v the_o exercise_n of_o the_o supreme_a power_n and_o do_v administer_v god_n authority_n for_o a_o time_n or_o rather_o though_o god_n govern_v by_o he_o as_o his_o instrument_n while_o he_o be_v in_o possession_n yet_o he_o have_v no_o authority_n inherent_a in_o himself_o but_o act_n as_o wicked_o all_o along_o in_o withhold_v from_o the_o rightful_a prince_n his_o due_a as_o he_o do_v at_o first_o in_o deprive_v he_o of_o it_o and_o therefore_o may_v be_v thrust_v out_o by_o the_o legal_a prince_n himself_o or_o by_o any_o other_o who_o have_v make_v no_o submission_n to_o he_o but_o this_o be_v so_o direct_o contrary_a to_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o discourse_n that_o it_o can_v be_v the_o dr_n meaning_n in_o this_o place_n for_o he_o that_o be_v set_v up_o by_o god_n 13._o p._n 13._o that_o be_v make_v king_n by_o he_o that_o be_v invest_v with_o his_o authority_n and_o receive_v his_o authority_n from_o he_o he_o to_o who_o god_n give_v the_o throne_n and_o do_v not_o only_o permit_v he_o to_o take_v

therefore_o jehoiada_n say_v to_o the_o congregation_n behold_v the_o king_n son_n shall_v reign_v as_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v of_o the_o son_n of_o david_n 2._o chr._n 23_o 2._o and_o the_o convocation_n observe_v that_o he_o acquaint_v they_o that_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n will_n that_o he_o shall_v reign_v over_o they_o and_o that_o god_n himself_o have_v require_v all_o that_o they_o do_v at_o their_o hand_n for_o when_o god_n have_v give_v his_o promise_n we_o must_v interpret_v no_o occurrence_n of_o providence_n in_o contradiction_n to_o in_o and_o therefore_o we_o see_v that_o when_o the_o kingdom_n be_v take_v from_o david_n posterity_n it_o be_v not_o do_v without_o a_o express_a revelation_n but_o where_o god_n have_v make_v no_o promise_n to_o a_o king_n and_o his_o successor_n that_o they_o shall_v enjoy_v the_o kingdom_n he_o may_v by_o his_o providence_n take_v it_o away_o from_o they_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o whole_a design_n of_o the_o convocation_n be_v as_o i_o have_v show_v to_o explain_v the_o duty_n of_o subject_n by_o the_o example_n of_o god_n own_o people_n and_o therefore_o if_o in_o this_o place_n they_o suppose_v something_o so_o peculiar_a in_o the_o constitution_n of_o their_o government_n that_o it_o can_v be_v no_o precedent_n to_o other_o kingdom_n this_o must_v be_v a_o manifest_a contradiction_n to_o their_o whole_a design_n they_o tell_v we_o that_o government_n in_o its_o original_a and_o by_o its_o first_o institution_n be_v immediate_o from_o god_n and_o be_v the_o same_o throughout_o the_o world_n and_o though_o it_o be_v corrupt_v in_o other_o nation_n god_n preserve_v it_o among_o his_o own_o people_n and_o yet_o still_o the_o same_o obedience_n be_v due_a under_o those_o alteration_n from_o the_o say_v mild_a and_o temperate_a government_n at_o first_o institute_v that_o be_v to_o be_v pay_v under_o this_o itself_o and_o by_o consequence_n there_o must_v be_v the_o same_o obligation_n to_o the_o right_a heir_n in_o all_o other_o hereditary_a monarchy_n and_o therefore_o they_o call_v joash_n here_o the_o true_a and_o natural_a apparent_a heir_n to_o the_o crown_n and_o their_o only_a natural_a lord_n and_o sovereign_n which_o will_v be_v very_o unfit_a expression_n if_o they_o do_v not_o think_v that_o he_o have_v a_o unalterable_a right_n by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n as_o well_o as_o by_o god_n promise_n in_o be_v enough_o indeed_o that_o jehoiada_n shall_v remind_v the_o people_n of_o god_n own_o choice_n of_o david_n posterity_n to_o rule_v over_o they_o and_o nothing_o more_o need_v to_o be_v say_v by_o he_o and_o it_o be_v very_o fit_a that_o this_o shall_v not_o be_v omit_v by_o the_o convocation_n but_o if_o this_o be_v the_o only_a title_n which_o joash_n have_v it_o will_v have_v be_v improper_a to_o call_v he_o a_o natural_a heir_n a_o natural_a lord_n and_o sovereign_n and_o it_o will_v have_v overthrow_v all_o their_o argument_n from_o the_o p●…ce_n of_o the_o jew_n if_o they_o have_v say_v th●…_n joash_n ought_v to_o be_v place_v upon_o the_o throne_n of_o his_o ancestor_n after_o that_o six_o year_n interval_n only_o by_o virtue_n of_o a_o divine_a promise_n for_o a_o divine_a command_n concern_v any_o of_o their_o king_n or_o judge_n for_o the_o time_n of_o their_o life_n be_v equivalent_a to_o a_o divine_a promise_n concern_v david_n and_o his_o posterity_n and_o so_o it_o may_v be_v say_v by_o parity_n of_o reason_n that_o the_o duty_n which_o they_o owe_v their_o king_n be_v due_a by_o virtue_n of_o a_o reveal_v command_n from_o god_n and_o can_v not_o be_v the_o same_o in_o other_o nation_n where_o there_o be_v no_o such_o reveal_v command_n thus_o david_n will_v not_o stretch_v forth_o his_o hand_n against_o saul_n for_o this_o reason_n because_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n anoint_v that_o be_v he_o be_v so_o choose_v and_o appoint_v by_o god_n himself_o as_o no_o king_n now_o can_v pretend_v to_o be_v and_o so_o in_o all_o other_o instance_n if_o we_o must_v argue_v from_o no_o example_n where_o god_n command_v or_o promise_n intervene_v in_o vain_a do_v the_o convocation_n explain_v the_o duty_n of_o subject_n from_o the_o sacred_a history_n and_o yet_o we_o must_v argue_v from_o no_o such_o example_n if_o god_n reveal_v will_n alter_v the_o case_n and_o make_v it_o different_a from_o case_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n which_o fall_v out_o in_o other_o government_n concern_v which_o god_n have_v not_o reveal_v any_o thing_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o when_o god_n so_o interpose_v as_o to_o invert_v the_o ordinary_a course_n of_o government_n as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o ahud_o and_o jehu_n this_o can_v be_v no_o precedent_n for_o any_o to_o imitate_v without_o the_o same_o command_n to_o authorise_v they_o that_o they_o have_v but_o than_o it_o be_v no_o more_o a_o precedent_n to_o the_o jew_n themselves_o than_o to_o any_o other_o nation_n but_o when_o god_n only_o regulate_v the_o jewish_a government_n according_a to_o the_o first_o institution_n at_o the_o creation_n and_o settle_v it_o upon_o the_o right_n of_o succession_n which_o be_v common_a to_o that_o with_o all_o other_o hereditary_a monarchy_n and_o make_v choice_n of_o the_o person_n to_o who_o and_o to_o his_o posterity_n he_o grant_v a_o donation_n of_o the_o kingdom_n or_o when_o he_o reform_v abuse_n and_o put_v thing_n into_o their_o due_a course_n and_o order_n again_o and_o enjoin_v nothing_o but_o what_o without_o a_o divine_a warrant_n be_v of_o itself_o lawful_a to_o be_v do_v we_o may_v conclude_v that_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v write_v for_o our_o instruction_n and_o must_v be_v a_o rule_n to_o all_o other_o nation_n in_o the_o like_a case_n the_o convocation_n therefore_o proceed_v all_o along_o upon_o this_o principle_n 2.6_o ch._n 2.6_o can._n 2.6_o that_o from_o the_o first_o institution_n of_o government_n there_o be_v both_o a_o natural_a and_o a_o divine_a right_n in_o all_o sovereign_n which_o be_v natural_a as_o it_o be_v found_v on_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o divine_a because_o government_n be_v god_n ordinance_n and_o owe_v its_o
