may_v be_v resist_v in_o their_o instrument_n i_o will_v illustrate_v all_o this_o by_o a_o familiar_a instance_n in_o our_o government_n a_o judge_n have_v a_o commission_n to_o hear_v and_o determine_v cause_n according_a to_o the_o verdict_n of_o twelve_o man_n here_o be_v a_o power_n limit_v in_o the_o very_o be_v that_o be_v legal_o and_o civil_o this_o judge_n use_v indirect_a mean_n to_o corrupt_v the_o jury_n to_o bring_v in_o a_o unjust_a verdict_n but_o judge_v as_o his_o commission_n bind_v he_o according_a to_o their_o verdict_n here_o be_v a_o moral_a exceed_v yet_o the_o

the_o verdict_n of_o the_o jury_n in_o a_o arbitrary_a way_n here_o be_v a_o legal_a exceed_v and_o the_o sentence_n be_v non_fw-fr authoritative_a he_o have_v no_o such_o power_n commit_v to_o he_o the_o sentence_n can_v have_v no_o bind_a power_n in_o it_o hereby_o it_o appear_v how_o without_o any_o ground_n of_o truth_n the_o former_a supposal_n be_v sect._n 3_o three_o concern_v the_o cause_n and_o mean_n of_o limitation_n the_o doctor_n supposal_n be_v limitation_n cause_n &_o mean_n of_o limitation_n 1._o that_o radical_a limitation_n that_o be_v of_o the_o power_n itself_o require_v a_o express_a and_o notorious_a act_n it_o must_v be_v do_v in_o the_o beginning_n and_o at_o once_o p._n 15._o 24._o 39_o 2._o that_o a_o prince_n may_v so_o limit_v himself_o as_o not_o to_o require_v to_o be_v active_o subject_v to_o and_o yet_o be_v limit_v only_o in_o the_o exercise_n not_o in_o the_o power_n itself_o p._n 16._o 3._o that_o no_o limitation_n by_o after_o condescent_n be_v of_o the_o power_n itself_o p._n 28._o this_o be_v a_o consequent_a from_o the_o first_o now_o that_o the_o falsehood_n of_o these_o and_o the_o like_a ground_n every_o where_o scatter_v in_o his_o book_n may_v appear_v let_v we_o a_o little_a more_o diligent_o handle_v the_o cause_n and_o mean_n of_o limitation_n which_o as_o before_o limitation_n cause_n of_o moral_a limitation_n be_v twofold_a moral_a and_o civil_a we_o will_v begin_v with_o moral_a 1._o now_o the_o formal_a cause_n of_o a_o mere_a moral_a limitation_n be_v that_o which_o moral_o bound_n or_o make_v sinful_a any_o act_n of_o power_n we_o be_v therefore_o to_o inquire_v what_o it_o be_v which_o can_v do_v that_o and_o this_o be_v 1._o principal_o the_o moral_a law_n of_o god_n forbid_v such_o a_o exercise_n of_o power_n this_o be_v a_o universal_a perpetual_a and_o invincible_a limitation_n of_o all_o power_n of_o government_n either_o absolute_a or_o legal_a yea_o of_o all_o active_a power_n of_o reasonable_a creature_n 2._o there_o be_v another_o mean_a of_o limitation_n moral_a sc_n a_o promise_n oath_n or_o positive_a constitution_n whereby_o a_o prince_n put_v a_o bond_n upon_o himself_o make_v that_o now_o sinful_a to_o be_v do_v which_o before_o be_v not_o so_o this_o also_o induce_v a_o moral_a limitation_n as_o well_o in_o absolute_a as_o legal_a government_n as_o if_o a_o absolute_a monarch_n promise_v to_o follow_v such_o a_o rule_n which_o have_v a_o power_n to_o use_v any_o which_o his_o reason_n shall_v dictate_v or_o if_o a_o legal_a promise_n to_o abridge_v himself_o in_o a_o course_n in_o which_o the_o law_n have_v leave_v he_o indeterminate_v in_o this_o respect_n they_o come_v under_o a_o moral_a limitation_n but_o concern_v this_o positive_a mean_v we_o must_v note_v 1._o this_o promise_n how_o solemn_a soever_o it_o be_v must_v be_v a_o simple_a bond_n it_o must_v extend_v to_o no_o diminution_n of_o power_n or_o discharge_v from_o duty_n of_o subjection_n for_o than_o it_o be_v not_o mere_o moral_a it_o make_v the_o exceed_a act_n not_o only_o sinful_a but_o none_o oblige_v whereas_o it_o be_v the_o note_n of_o a_o mere_a moral_a bond_n that_o it_o extend_v not_o to_o any_o lessen_v of_o authority_n or_o discharge_v of_o duty_n as_o if_o a_o captain_n take_v his_o enemy_n prisoner_n he_o to_o save_v his_o life_n swear_v he_o a_o full_a vassalage_n afterward_o his_o master_n promise_v to_o command_v he_o only_o such_o service_n never_o absolve_v he_o from_o his_o former_a bond_n of_o absolute_a slavery_n here_o be_v a_o moral_a bond_n yet_o still_o a_o full_a debt_n of_o subjection_n in_o case_n the_o master_n shall_v break_v his_o word_n and_o put_v he_o on_o other_o employment_n 2._o if_o the_o matter_n be_v more_o thorough_o look_v into_o this_o positive_a means_n of_o limitation_n be_v either_o none_o at_o all_o or_o else_o add_v nothing_o to_o the_o former_a of_o the_o moral_a law_n of_o god_n for_o in_o such_o promise_n or_o oath_n whereby_o a_o governor_n limit_n himself_o there_o be_v a_o express_a or_o tacit_a condition_n if_o it_o conduce_v to_o the_o end_n of_o government_n the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o public_a good_a for_o if_o such_o oath_n or_o bond_n hinder_v the_o end_n of_o government_n it_o be_v eo_fw-la nomine_fw-la unlawful_a and_o invalid_a but_o if_o conduce_v to_o it_o than_o it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o be_v virtual_o require_v of_o he_o before_o by_o the_o moral_a law_n this_o promise_n or_o oath_n be_v but_o a_o more_o solemn_a profession_n and_o protestation_n to_o do_v that_o which_o before_o implicit_o he_o be_v bind_v moral_o unto_o thus_o we_o see_v all_o that_o doctor_n speak_v of_o moral_a and_o irrevocable_a limitation_n by_o promise_n and_o oath_n come_v to_o nothing_o in_o the_o issue_n so_o that_o this_o be_v grant_v that_o the_o monarch_n power_n in_o this_o state_n be_v only_o moral_o limit_v in_o the_o doctor_n sense_n we_o be_v as_o much_o under_o and_o owe_v as_o much_o subjection_n as_o the_o captive_a slave_n to_o his_o master_n and_o all_o our_o law_n and_o statute_n be_v but_o moral_a limitation_n of_o this_o second_o sort_n be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o moral_a limitation_n any_o far_a than_o the_o prince_n see_v they_o conduce_v to_o the_o end_n of_o government_n if_o any_o seem_v to_o stand_v in_o his_o way_n and_o hinder_v he_o therein_o he_o be_v no_o long_o bind_v to_o it_o but_o may_v account_v it_o a_o ill_o make_v promise_n or_o oath_n which_o be_v better_o break_v then_o keep_v 2._o limitation_n cause_n of_o legal_a limitation_n of_o the_o cause_n and_o mean_n of_o civil_a and_o legal_a limitation_n whereby_o not_o only_o the_o exercise_n but_o the_o power_n itself_o be_v confine_v 1._o the_o formal_a cause_n hereof_o be_v the_o limitation_n of_o the_o duty_n of_o subjection_n in_o the_o people_n the_o duty_n of_o subjection_n be_v the_o original_n of_o the_o power_n of_o authority_n people_n by_o become_a debtor_n of_o subjection_n do_v set_v up_o authority_n and_o by_o stint_v and_o terminate_n the_o duty_n of_o subjection_n do_v put_v bound_n and_o term_n to_o the_o power_n of_o command_v 2._o let_v we_o see_v then_o by_o what_o mean_v the_o duty_n of_o subjection_n may_v be_v terminate_v i_o conceive_v it_o may_v be_v do_v two_o way_n 1._o at_o first_o

for_o their_o own_o good_a and_o the_o due_a end_n of_o government_n sum_n sum_n in_o the_o close_a of_o this_o question_n i_o will_v lay_v down_o three_o conclusion_n concern_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o sovereignty_n conclus_fw-la 1_o 1._o god_n have_v ordain_v that_o in_o society_n of_o man_n there_o shall_v be_v a_o politic_a power_n for_o a_o peaceable_a and_o godly_a life_n this_o ordinance_n have_v put_v a_o seminal_a power_n in_o all_o the_o society_n of_o man_n sc_n a_o liberty_n and_o power_n by_o common_a consent_n to_o resign_v up_o themselves_o and_o they_o to_o one_o supreme_a thereby_o constitute_v a_o common_a politic_a power_n 2._o god_n in_o his_o ordinance_n for_o government_n have_v not_o determine_v any_o kind_a conclus_n 2_o or_o form_n of_o power_n have_v leave_v it_o to_o the_o liberty_n of_o society_n of_o man_n to_o choose_v to_o which_o kind_n they_o will_v resign_v up_o themselves_o either_o to_o a_o supreme_a regulate_v in_o the_o act_n of_o his_o will_n by_o his_o own_o reason_n as_o in_o absolute_a government_n or_o to_o one_o regulate_v by_o a_o common_a reason_n or_o law_n constitute_v by_o public_a consent_n as_o in_o limit_v 3._o god_n in_o his_o ordinance_n for_o government_n have_v not_o determine_v the_o subject_n conclus_fw-la 3_o of_o this_o power_n have_v leave_v it_o to_o the_o choice_n of_o society_n to_o invest_v with_o this_o sovereignty_n either_o one_o person_n or_o many_o and_o those_o either_o of_o the_o same_o or_o divers_a sort_n and_o rank_n of_o man_n whence_o arise_v simple_a or_o mix_v government_n and_o this_o be_v the_o architectonicall_a power_n leave_v in_o society_n before_o they_o be_v engage_v in_o a_o government_n which_o the_o doctor_n do_v so_o causeless_o deride_v here_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o what_o i_o do_v aver_v concern_v god_n ordinance_n in_o sovereignty_n which_o i_o challenge_v the_o doctor_n or_o any_o else_o to_o gainsay_v the_o second_o sort_n of_o the_o doctor_n false_a supposal_n respect_v the_o nature_n and_o sect._n 2_o quality_n of_o limitation_n limitation_n of_o nature_n and_o quality_n of_o limitation_n where_o also_o i_o observe_v that_o he_o proceed_v on_o two_o false_a and_o fallacious_a principle_n sc_n 1._o he_o every_o where_o confound_v moral_a and_o civil_a or_o legal_a limitation_n so_o p._n 18._o 93._o 39_o 2._o that_o sovereignty_n be_v capable_a only_o of_o a_o moral_a limitation_n p._n 39_o 42._o so_o that_o if_o any_o other_o be_v in_o any_o state_n ordain_v he_o can_v believe_v but_o such_o a_o condition_n be_v unlawful_a and_o unreasonable_a against_o the_o order_n of_o government_n p._n 39_o if_o the_o nature_n of_o limitation_n be_v well_o know_v it_o will_v appear_v that_o the_o doctor_n have_v do_v very_o inconsiderate_o or_o rather_o very_o fraudulent_o for_o he_o have_v obscure_v the_o truth_n much_o by_o it_o in_o confound_v moral_a and_o civil_a limitation_n we_o will_v therefore_o consider_v the_o nature_n of_o limitation_n something_o more_o accurate_o than_o i_o have_v do_v in_o my_o former_a treatise_n for_o it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a light_n to_o the_o whole_a controversy_n first_o we_o must_v consider_v a_o distinction_n of_o power_n which_o be_v either_o a_o pos_n 1_o simple_a power_n of_o willing_a or_o do_v which_o be_v in_o every_o moral_a agent_n 2._o a_o power_n of_o authoritative_a and_o obligatorie_n willing_a or_o do_v so_o that_o a_o act_n of_o it_o whether_o a_o will_n of_o command_n or_o censure_n express_v have_v in_o it_o a_o bind_a power_n to_o subjection_n this_o be_v that_o which_o we_o call_v magistracy_n of_o who_o limitation_n now_o we_o treat_v second_o concern_v limitation_n we_o must_v know_v that_o it_o induce_v pos_n 2_o a_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o not_o produce_v any_o act_n beyond_o those_o limit_n for_o a_o power_n have_v bound_n beyond_o which_o it_o can_v exceed_v if_o it_o please_v though_o with_o difficulty_n it_o be_v not_o proper_o limit_v but_o hinder_v pos_fw-la 3_o three_o this_o necessity_n of_o not_o exceed_v those_o bound_n be_v such_o as_o the_o bound_n themselves_o be_v so_o that_o it_o be_v ever_o true_a that_o a_o power_n in_o what_o way_n it_o be_v limit_v can_v exceed_v those_o limit_n pos_fw-la 4_o limit_n of_o moral_a limit_n four_o there_o be_v of_o this_o power_n but_o two_o sort_n of_o limit_n sc_n 1._o moral_a and_o 2._o civil_a or_o politic_a of_o which_o two_n we_o must_v distinct_o consider_v 1._o moral_a limit_n be_v the_o moral_a will_n or_o law_n of_o god_n and_o a_o power_n be_v say_v to_o be_v limit_v by_o this_o not_o when_o it_o can_v produce_v any_o act_n at_o all_o but_o when_o it_o can_v moral_o produce_v it_o that_o be_v without_o sin_n for_o the_o superven_a of_o a_o moral_a bond_n do_v not_o take_v away_o the_o power_n of_o do_v but_o of_o right_a or_o sinless_a do_v v._n g._n in_o natural_a power_n god_n prohibition_n of_o eat_v swine_n flesh_n do_v not_o take_v away_o from_o the_o jew_n the_o natural_a power_n of_o eat_v it_o but_o the_o power_n of_o sinless_a eat_n it_o so_o in_o civil_a power_n a_o prohibition_n of_o god_n come_v upon_o it_o do_v not_o take_v away_o the_o power_n of_o civil_a and_o authoritative_a do_v but_o of_o lawful_a or_o sinless_a do_v and_o hence_o it_o follow_v 1._o that_o moral_a limitation_n be_v only_o of_o the_o exercise_n of_o power_n not_o of_o the_o power_n itself_o for_o the_o power_n be_v not_o thereby_o take_v away_o but_o remain_v equal_o extense_fw-la and_o able_a to_o all_o its_o

of_o do_v as_o extense_fw-la as_o his_o reasonable_a will_n promise_v to_o do_v but_o this_o or_o in_o this_o manner_n now_o he_o be_v moral_o bind_v by_o virtue_n of_o this_o promise_n and_o can_v without_o sin_n do_v otherwise_o yet_o if_o he_o do_v his_o command_a power_n be_v the_o same_o and_o its_o act_n bind_v to_o the_o subject_a and_o so_o it_o be_v proportionable_o in_o legal_a

the_o reason_n be_v because_o many_o thing_n fall_v out_o oft_o in_o a_o government_n induce_v such_o necessity_n on_o the_o monarch_n that_o he_o for_o their_o supply_n will_v choose_v to_o reduce_v such_o power_n into_o act_n of_o call_v and_o suspend_v such_o power_n of_o dissolve_v although_o he_o know_v those_o state_n will_v use_v their_o limit_v power_n in_o reduce_v such_o exorbitance_n
