A57691	The bounds & bonds of publique obedience, or, A vindication of our lawfull submission to the present government, or to a government supposed unlawfull, but commanding lawfull things likewise how such an obedience is consistent with our Solemne League and Covenant : in all which a reply is made to the three answers of the two demurrers, and to the author of The grand case of conscience, who professe themselves impassionate Presbyterians.	Rous, Francis, 1579-1659.	1649 (1649)	Wing R2013; ESTC R15008	51,239	74

king_n death_n which_o be_v a_o consequence_n of_o the_o other_o breach_n and_o tamper_n if_o by_o the_o covenant_n we_o be_v indispensable_o oblige_v to_o preserve_v his_o person_n how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o we_o be_v oblige_v by_o the_o same_o covenant_n to_o wage_v war_n against_o he_o i_o have_v hear_v of_o a_o distinction_n betwixt_o his_o power_n and_o his_o person_n but_o never_o of_o any_o betwixt_o his_o person_n and_o himself_o so_o that_o if_o the_o covenant_n can_v have_v dispense_v any_o soldier_n of_o england_n or_o scotland_n to_o kill_v his_o person_n by_o a_o

plain_o enough_o that_o the_o covenant_n provide_v for_o his_o death_n more_o way_n than_o one_o true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o covenant_n hold_v out_o a_o faint_a and_o a_o conditional_a

but_o that_o he_o will_v not_o allow_v of_o a_o covenant-argument_n for_o his_o life_n i_o know_v the_o answer_n here_o be_v obvious_a that_o bullet_n be_v not_o shoot_v direct_o against_o he_o as_o
