Wherefore as heretofore so now much more labour to hold forth the vertues of him that hath called you to this great imployment As Souldiers are more honoured then others so they should be more vertuous he had need carry much grace in his heart that doth daily carrie his life in his hand and your Souldiers should as well overcome the Countreys with their good examples as the Enemies with their swords When Joshua went out to battell against the Amalakites his men were all chosen or choice men Exod. 17. 9. And saith the Lord Deut. 23. 9 when the hoste goeth forth against thine enemie then keep thee from every wicked thing It is ordinarily observed that when the jews marched out

Parliament hath raised this Army by an act of judgement and jurisdiction not over their Prince but in regard of Delinquents so the same act may be a work of jurisdiction in regard of others and yet an act of preservation in regard of our selves The execution of any malefactor in an ordinary way of Law is both preservation to the State and a work of jurisdiction in regard of the offender so here yet I do not say it is a work of jurisdiction over our Prince but in regard of delinquents that are about him Dr. F. Mr. Bridge gives us proofes for this way of self-preservation from the Law of Nature it being naturall to a man and so to a communitie to defend it self And were this argument good then might private men and the people without the Parliament take up armes and resist for self-preservation is naturall to them Ans. It follows not because though I say every thing may defend it self by nature yet I say also it must do it modo suo naturae suae convenienti we say that all creatures do defend themselves and it is naturall so to do yet we do not therefore say that a beast defends himself in the same manner as a man doth or a man as a beast but in a way sutable to every nature Now if a private person be in danger to be oppressed by a Prince flying is more fit defence for him and therefore saith our Saviour If they persecute thee in one City flie to another but if the State be wronged and oppressed which is a publick grievance then the State and those that represent them are more fit to take up Armes for its preservation For Nature in generall teacheth self-preservation Nature specificated teacheth this or that preservation now the nature of a communitie and of a particular person are distinct and therefore though I say a community is to defend it self because sui tutela is naturall to every thing yet I do not say that a particular private person may ordinarily defend himself in that way which is most sutable to the communitie as the taking up of Armes is yet I suppose no moderate man will denie this that the Subjects though not invested with authoritie have a power to keep out an enemie from landing incase of forrain invasion yea though the Kings Officers should be negligent therein or so malitious and treacherous as to forbid them to defend themselves and their Countrey Secondly saith the Doctor He proves it by Scriptures 1 Chron. 12. 19. where the Word of God saith expresly that David went out against Saul to battell but he was Sauls subject at that time A desperate undertaking to make people beleeve this is expresse Scripture for subjects to go out to battell against their King But he should have added what is expressed there it was with the Philistines that he went out and that he helped them not for he did but make shew of tendring his service to Acisâ— Ans. Here I need give no other answer then repeat those words fully that he replyes to which were these which Scripture I bring not to prove that a Subject may take up armes against the King but that the Subjects may take up arms against those that are malignant about the Kings person notwithstanding the Kings command to the contrary For seeing that Davids heart smote him formerly for cutting of the lap of Sauls garment and yet it is said in expresse words in this text that he went out against Saul its likely that his intentions were against those that were evill and wicked about him Then the Doctor brings in another peece of my argument not the whole reason or the sense of it thus Be subject to the higher powers Rom. 13. but the Parliament is the highest Court of Justice pa. 3. To which he replies modo suo well assumed and so it is for is not the highest Court of Justice an higher power We grant faith the Doctor there is a subjection due to them and if he meant by the Parliament the 3. Estates concurring all manner of subjection is due unter them It 's well he will acknowledge any subjection due to the Parliament without the third estate And if any subjection then they have some authority but none they can have if not power to bring in the accused to be tried before them And if they have power to bring in 20 by force then 100. then 1000. then 10000. which cannot be done without raising an Army Then he undertakes sayes the Doctor to shew out of Scripture that Kings receive their power from the people and hath the ill hap to light on Saul David and Salomon for examples Ans. The Doctor hath the ill hap alwayes to misse the argument which lay thus If it be the duty of the King to looke to the safety of the Kingdome and that because he is trusted therewith by the Common wealth then if the Parliament be immediatly trusted by the Common-wealth with the safety thereof as well as the King though not so much then are they to looke to it and to use all means for the preservation thereof as well as the King But so it is that the King is bound to look to the safety thereof and that because he is intrusted therwith as was Saul David and Salomon who came to their government by the consent and choice of the people Whereupon the Doctor replies He hath the ill hap to light on Saul David and Salomon But it seems the Doctor had not the good hap to meet with these severall Authors which affirme that even these Kings Saul David and Salomon were chosen by the people If he had read or minded them he would not have imputed this as an ill hap unto me for to light on these examples I will give him but the testimony of Mendoza who though not of our judgement in this matter yet ingeniously confesses that with great probability Authors do reason for a popular choise of Saul David and Salomon Whereas saith Mendoza it is objected that Samuel by anointing Saul without any consent of the people saying the Lord hath anointed thee King over his heritage did thereby clearly shew that the regall power was conferr'd upon Saul not from the people but from God that is easily answered that that Vnction was not a signe of power already conferr'd but to be conferr'd as may be proved by the anointing of David whom Samuel anointed 1 King 16. 13. Dureing Sauls Raigne yea while he had many yeares to raâ—gnt Wherby it appeares that David did not receive regall power by that unction but by that which he had afterward by all the Tribes Elders when coming to Hebron they anointed David King over Israel Therfore that first unction was not the conferring the regal power but only a signification of this latter unction by which this Kingly power was to be derived or conveyed so also that first anointing of Saul before the consent of
