needs_o follow_v that_o its_o both_o vain_a and_o needless_a to_o trouble_v the_o whole_a kingdom_n to_o make_v choice_n of_o its_o representative_a body_n since_o be_v convene_v and_o dissert_v by_o

forbid_v the_o king_n affirm_v and_o the_o parliament_n deny_v now_o in_o this_o uncertainty_n each_o man_n be_v doubtful_a how_o to_o dispose_v of_o himself_o for_o the_o common_a good_a if_o people_n can_v right_o distinguish_v betwixt_o protection_n and_o oppression_n monarchy_n and_o tyranny_n they_o will_v the_o better_o understand_v their_o duty_n in_o such_o time_n as_o these_o

the_o command_n of_o god_n this_o come_v not_o in_o question_n neither_o be_v it_o question_v whether_o a_o absolute_a obedience_n be_v to_o be_v yield_v to_o the_o unlawful_a command_n of_o a_o

against_o their_o sovereign_n as_o some_o have_v false_o and_o despiteful_o suggest_v but_o the_o question_n be_v mere_o about_o our_o own_o safety_n and_o just_a defence_n and_o may_v be_v thus_o state_v when_o as_o the_o king_n be_v seduce_v by_o wicked_a man_n who_o have_v a_o constant_a opportunity_n of_o instil_v their_o poisonous_a counsel_n into_o his_o sacred_a ear_n vent_v such_o

loyal_a subject_n the_o question_n be_v whether_o in_o such_o a_o case_n of_o extreme_a danger_n it_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o subject_n to_o take_v up_o arm_n in_o his_o own_o defence_n that_o a_o defensive_a war_n be_v lawful_a and_o warrantable_a in_o such_o a_o case_n as_o this_o will_v appear_v by_o these_o reason_n 1._o because_o the_o end_n of_o all_o government_n be_v to_o make_v provision_n for_o the_o good_a and_o safety_n of_o the_o people_n that_o be_v the_o supreme_a law_n if_o then_o prince_n be_v entrust_v shall_v refuse_v to_o join_v with_o the_o people_n in_o their_o necessary_a defence_n the_o people_n may_v without_o dis-loyalty_n save_o themselves_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n and_o intent_n of_o such_o a_o trust_n that_o necessary_a defence_n shall_v be_v bar_v and_o natureall_a preservation_n deny_v to_o a_o people_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o direct_a overthrow_v of_o the_o very_a foundation_n of_o policy_n for_o a_o people_n by_o preserve_a subjection_n to_o their_o prince_n to_o give_v way_n to_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n 2._o if_o the_o people_n may_v not_o preserve_v their_o own_o peace_n against_o the_o unjust_a invasion_n and_o causeless_a violence_n of_o their_o prince_n we_o must_v conclude_v that_o god_n have_v leave_v man_n destitute_a of_o any_o sufficient_a humane_a help_n of_o save_v himself_o for_o grant_v that_o and_o this_o will_v follow_v that_o when_o a_o kingdom_n be_v expose_v to_o eminent_a danger_n the_o people_n must_v of_o necessity_n yield_v their_o neck_n and_o submit_v their_o life_n to_o the_o will_n of_o cruel_a man_n since_o the_o king_n deny_v they_o mean_n of_o safety_n 3._o the_o law_n of_o nature_n bind_v each_o private_a man_n to_o defend_v himself_o against_o the_o magistrate_n as_o a_o private_a man_n assault_v he_o by_o violence_n and_o not_o pursue_v he_o in_o a_o legal_a way_n and_o to_o repel_v force_n by_o force_n the_o example_n of_o naboth_n will_v clear_o demonstrate_v this_o when_o ahab_n command_v he_o to_o give_v he_o his_o vineyard_n naboth_n refuse_v to_o comply_v with_o the_o king_n command_v it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o he_o to_o part_v with_o the_o inheritance_n of_o his_o father_n well_o ahab_n by_o the_o instigation_n of_o his_o wife_n still_o pursue_v the_o design_n and_o the_o thing_n must_v be_v put_v to_o the_o trial_n and_o to_o this_o end_n witness_n must_v be_v suborn_v and_o these_o to_o give_v in_o testimony_n to_o the_o elder_n and_o noble_n so_o and_o so_o now_o in_o this_o case_n naboth_n be_v bind_v to_o submit_v to_o his_o censure_n be_v try_v in_o a_o legal_a way_n &_o so_o to_o leave_v the_o undeservednesse_n of_o his_o death_n charge_v upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o false_a witness_n but_o now_o have_v ahab_n come_v violent_o upon_o naboth_n and_o attempt_v the_o kill_n of_o he_o for_o not_o subject_v to_o his_o unlawful_a command_n will_v any_o man_n affirm_v that_o it_o have_v be_v unlawful_a for_o naboth_n to_o have_v defend_v himself_o against_o the_o unjust_a invasion_n and_o violence_n of_o ahab_n if_o then_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o private_a person_n thus_o to_o defend_v himself_o as_o doubtless_o it_o be_v then_o much_o more_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o whole_a nation_n 4._o this_o be_v warrantable_a by_o scripture_n example_n 2_o chron._n

the_o people_n rescue_v he_o out_o of_o his_o hand_n and_o tell_v the_o king_n plain_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o die_v several_a other_o example_n there_o be_v in_o scripture_n which_o do_v clear_o
