A78461	Certain considerable and most materiall cases of conscience, wherewith divers wel-affected in this kingdom are much perplexed, the cleering wherof would worthily deserve the paines of the Assembly at London.		1645 (1645)	Wing C1688; Thomason E270_7; ESTC R212357	14,633	26

certain_a considerable_a and_o most_o material_a case_n of_o conscience_n wherewith_o divers_a well-affected_n in_o this_o kingdom_n be_v much_o perplex_v the_o clear_n whereof_o will_v worthy_o deserve_v the_o pain_n of_o the_o assembly_n at_o london_n i._o whither_o there_o be_v any_o clear_a evidence_n of_o scripture_n wherein_o the_o conscience_n of_o a_o christian_a may_v safe_o rest_v for_o take_v up_o of_o arm_n against_o his_o prince_n if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v forbid_v there_o have_v be_v the_o less_o doubt_n but_o there_o be_v so_o many_o place_n of_o scripture_n so_o evident_o and_o so_o direct_o against_o it_o how_o shall_v ordinary_a capacity_n that_o be_v but_o ordinary_o enlighten_v be_v sure_a that_o in_o join_v with_o the_o two_o house_n now_o at_o westminster_n he_o do_v not_o transgress_v god_n commandment_n and_o draw_v upon_o himself_o damnation_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n pretend_v but_o they_o do_v not_o satisfy_v tender_a conscience_n first_o it_o be_v say_v this_o be_v be_v not_o against_o the_o king_n what_o it_o be_v in_o god_n fight_n god_n know_v but_o to_o any_o humane_a understanding_n it_o seem_v to_o be_v against_o the_o king_n it_o be_v first_o undertake_v to_o fetch_v the_o king_n to_o parliament_n it_o be_v prosecute_v still_o that_o we_o may_v obtain_v our_o desire_n of_o the_o king_n and_o when_o we_o send_v to_o treat_v about_o peace_n we_o send_v to_o treat_v with_o the_o king_n and_o if_o the_o king_n shall_v chance_v to_o miscarry_v by_o a_o bullet_n in_o these_o war_n which_o god_n forbid_v who_o then_o that_o have_v contribute_v any_o assistance_n to_o the_o parliament_n can_v have_v any_o comfort_n in_o his_o soul_n that_o he_o be_v free_a from_o the_o guilt_n of_o kill_v the_o king_n a_o second_o pretence_n be_v that_o this_o be_v a_o defensive_a war_n indeed_o if_o our_o army_n do_v always_o retreat_n and_o go_v back_o from_o the_o king_n we_o shall_v think_v so_o too_o but_o now_o when_o we_o see_v our_o army_n still_o pursue_v he_o as_o at_o first_o time_n also_o when_o we_o send_v to_o fetch_v he_o to_o the_o parliament_n it_o seem_v to_o be_v against_o all_o sense_n and_o reason_n to_o count_v this_o war_n a_o defensive_a war._n three_o it_o be_v pretend_v a_o parliament_n may_v do_v that_o which_o private_a man_n can_v do_v and_o that_o be_v certain_o true_a without_o all_o doubt_n but_o yet_o the_o question_n do_v still_o remain_v whether_o the_o two_o house_n which_o make_v not_o a_o full_a parliament_n can_v lawful_o take_v up_o arm_n against_o their_o king_n it_o have_v be_v always_o observe_v in_o this_o kingdom_n that_o a_o parliament_n can_v be_v till_o the_o king_n call_v it_o and_o if_o it_o can_v lawful_o be_v without_o he_o it_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o be_v believe_v that_o it_o may_v lawful_o act_n without_o he_o much_o less_o against_o he_o and_o it_o seem_v something_o strange_a that_o the_o king_n of_o his_o goodness_n have_v continue_v this_o parliament_n shall_v now_o be_v distress_v by_o that_o unto_o which_o he_o himself_o have_v give_v life_n and_o here_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v from_o whence_o the_o parliament_n have_v that_o power_n which_o they_o have_v if_o it_o be_v say_v from_o the_o king_n without_o question_n he_o give_v they_o not_o power_n to_o take_v up_o arm_n against_o himself_o if_o it_o be_v say_v from_o the_o people_n which_o be_v in_o deed_n our_o pachamentary_a doctrine_n our_o own_o do_n do_v convince_v we_o for_o our_o heart_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o people_n for_o the_o major_a part_n be_v enemy_n to_o our_o proceed_n else_o why_o have_v we_o send_v for_o the_o scot_n there_o be_v another_o thing_n pretend_v also_o at_o least_o among_o the_o vulgar_a whereby_o we_o will_v many_o of_o we_o quiet_a and_o still_o our_o conscience_n and_o yet_o it_o will_v not_o do_v it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n be_v one_o other_o express_v it_o thus_o to_o give_v it_o the_o better_a colour_n that_o the_o parliament_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o king_n and_o that_o which_o be_v infer_v thereupon_o be_v this_o that_o the_o parliament_n can_v do_v nothing_o against_o the_o king_n and_o that_o whatsoever_o any_o man_n do_v for_o the_o parliament_n he_o do_v for_o the_o king_n because_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n be_v one_o now_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n be_v one_o one_o body_n politic_a whereof_o the_o king_n be_v head_n and_o so_o it_o be_v true_a too_o that_o the_o husband_n and_o the_o wife_n be_v one_o body_n whereof_o the_o husband_n be_v the_o head_n and_o the_o union_n between_o they_o be_v so_o near_o that_o a_o near_a can_v be_v imagine_v between_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n and_o yet_o it_o follow_v not_o because_o the_o husband_n and_o the_o wife_n be_v one_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o the_o wife_n to_o miscarry_v herself_o towards_o her_o husband_n who_o know_v not_o that_o there_o be_v some_o untractable_a woman_n in_o the_o world_n that_o carry_v themselves_o most_o unchristian_o towards_o their_o husband_n both_o with_o froward_a word_n and_o cross_a action_n and_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v take_v the_o wife_n part_n in_o such_o away_o it_o can_v be_v say_v of_o he_o he_o be_v for_o the_o husband_n and_o the_o wife_n for_o while_o he_o be_v for_o the_o wife_n in_o such_o a_o way_n sure_o he_o be_v against_o the_o husband_n so_o for_o the_o difference_n in_o hand_n though_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n be_v one_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o the_o parliament_n to_o be_v disloyal_a and_o they_o carry_v themselves_o in_o such_o a_o way_n whosoever_o shall_v be_v for_o they_o it_o can_v be_v say_v of_o he_o he_o be_v for_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n for_o while_o he_o be_v for_o they_o in_o such_o a_o way_n he_o must_v needs_o be_v against_o the_o king_n this_o inference_n therefore_o follow_v not_o indeed_o thus_o we_o may_v right_o argue_v the_o husband_n and_o the_o wife_n be_v one_o therefore_o the_o wife_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v injurious_a and_o disloyal_a to_o her_o husband_n and_o so_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n be_v one_o therefore_o the_o parliament_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v disloyal_a to_o the_o king_n this_o argument_n will_v hold_v but_o we_o see_v the_o other_o hold_v not_o and_o as_o the_o only_a way_n for_o a_o man_n to_o show_v himself_o a_o friend_n both_o to_o the_o husband_n and_o the_o wife_n in_o such_o a_o case_n as_o be_v mention_v and_o to_o make_v peace_n in_o the_o family_n be_v to_o let_v the_o wife_n know_v her_o duty_n so_o the_o only_a way_n for_o a_o man_n now_o to_o show_v himself_o a_o friend_n both_o to_o king_n and_o parliament_n be_v to_o let_v the_o parliament_n know_v their_o duty_n and_o to_o endeavour_v to_o reduce_v they_o thereunto_o this_o comparison_n do_v make_v the_o business_n plain_a only_o in_o one_o thing_n the_o comparison_n hold_v not_o if_o the_o wife_n at_o any_o time_n pretend_v her_o husband_n do_v her_o wrong_n there_o be_v a_o judge_n on_o earth_n above_o they_o to_o end_v the_o strife_n namely_o the_o king_n or_o his_o deputy_n but_o if_o at_o any_o time_n the_o parliament_n conceive_v the_o king_n do_v they_o wrong_n there_o be_v no_o high_a judge_n on_o earth_n to_o fly_v unto_o they_o must_v seek_v unto_o heaven_n by_o their_o prayer_n and_o wait_v on_o the_o lord_n for_o a_o redress_n of_o their_o injury_n two_o whether_o he_o that_o offer_v violence_n to_o the_o king_n person_n can_v be_v free_a from_o the_o sin_n of_o rebellion_n because_o he_o pretend_v to_o defend_v the_o king_n power_n what_o violence_n have_v be_v offer_v to_o his_o person_n be_v too_o evident_a the_o unworthy_a and_o dishonourable_a word_n that_o have_v be_v utter_v of_o the_o king_n in_o pamphlet_n in_o declaration_n yea_o and_o in_o pulpit_n also_o to_o humane_a reason_n seem_v no_o small_a indignity_n but_o much_o more_o to_o be_v exclude_v from_o his_o house_n to_o have_v his_o revenue_n withhold_v to_o be_v pursue_v with_o army_n and_o shoot_v at_o with_o bullet_n etc._n etc._n iii_o whether_o we_o do_v not_o oppose_v the_o king_n power_n when_o we_o get_v about_o by_o force_n to_o diminish_v his_o power_n as_o in_o election_n of_o his_o counsellor_n his_o negative_a voice_n etc._n etc._n four_o whether_o the_o practice_n of_o any_o former_a parliament_n hold_v in_o time_n of_o thick_a and_o dark_a popery_n may_v be_v a_o sufficient_a warrant_n for_o parliament_n now_o to_o walk_v by_o some_o former_a parliament_n have_v be_v too_o bold_a with_o king_n as_o our_o chronicle_n show_v neither_o may_v we_o think_v all_o that_o out_o parliament_n have_v do_v in_o that_o behalf_n to_o be_v lawful_a because_o it_o be_v record_v in_o our_o
