nation_n into_o shambles_n than_o that_o of_o be_v passive_o obedient_a and_o last_o this_o assertion_n be_v destructive_a of_o itself_o and_o never_o can_v contribute_v to_o the_o end_n for_o which_o it_o do_v pretend_v to_o be_v design_v viz._n the_o preservation_n of_o the_o establish_a religion_n against_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o sovereign_n for_o by_o what_o law_n be_v we_o authorize_v to_o resist_v for_o religion_n sake_n the_o law_n of_o god_n express_o forbid_v it_o by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n but_o these_o law_n deprive_v all_o subject_n of_o any_o power_n to_o resist_v the_o king_n by_o take_v arm_n against_o he_o since_o both_o by_o common_a 2._o 25_o ed._n 3._o c._n 2._o and_o by_o statute_n law_n it_o be_v plain_a treason_n to_o levy_v war_n against_o our_o lord_n the_o king_n in_o the_o realm_n or_o be_v adherent_a to_o the_o king_n enemy_n since_o our_o law_n plain_o say_v that_o neither_o house_n of_o parliament_n joint_o or_o several_o 6._o 13_o

well_o as_o by_o god_n law_n for_o where_o it_o be_v treason_n to_o resist_v there_o remain_v nothing_o to_o be_v do_v 92._o p._n 92._o but_o to_o be_v passive_o obedient_a if_o therefore_o as_o this_o author_n grant_v when_o it_o be_v make_v death_n by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n to_o be_v a_o good_a christian_a we_o must_v lay_v down_o our_o life_n for_o christ_n sake_n and_o the_o

that_o religion_n which_o god_n approve_v and_o will_v have_v all_o the_o world_n embrace_v and_o hold_v fast_o to_o the_o end_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o first_o christian_n might_n with_o equal_a reason_n have_v put_v this_o question_n to_o st._n paul_n and_o peter_n by_o what_o law_n must_v we_o suffer_v for_o our_o obedience_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n do_v he_o ask_v by_o what_o law_n must_v we_o suffer_v for_o profess_v that_o religion_n which_o be_v by_o law_n establish_v let_v he_o but_o grant_v this_o reasonable_a postulatum_fw-la that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v as_o sacred_a and_o inviolable_a as_o the_o law_n of_o man_n and_o lay_v a_o equalty_n upon_o the_o hand_n of_o prince_n and_o then_o the_o question_n will_v again_o return_v upon_o he_o and_o unto_o both_o these_o question_n the_o answer_n be_v most_o plain_o this_o that_o we_o must_v do_v it_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o law_n of_o god_n which_o do_v enjoin_v we_o for_o conscience_n towards_o god_n to_o endure_v grief_n suffer_v wrongful_o and_o when_o we_o do_v well_o and_o suffer_v for_o it_o 20._o 1_o pet._n 2.19_o 20._o to_o take_v it_o patient_o and_o by_o that_o law_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o land_n which_o do_v forbid_v resistance_n of_o the_o high_a power_n by_o take_v up_o the_o sword_n for_o when_o i_o can_v lawful_o resist_v that_o power_n which_o will_v punish_v i_o of_o necessity_n must_v suffer_v or_o transgress_v when_o he_o add_v that_o no_o such_o power_n be_v lodge_v in_o the_o prerogative_n as_o to_o destroy_v man_n contrary_a to_o law_n it_o be_v as_o true_a that_o no_o such_o power_n be_v lodge_v in_o the_o supremacy_n as_o to_o destroy_v man_n contrary_a to_o god_n law_n or_o even_o to_o make_v a_o law_n which_o contradict_v the_o divine_a law_n and_o therefore_o no_o such_o power_n be_v give_v they_o from_o god_n as_o to_o destroy_v the_o christian_a for_o the_o profession_n of_o christianity_n or_o for_o obey_v god_n reveal_v will_n or_o for_o not_o sacrifice_v unto_o heathen_a idol_n and_o yet_o god_n do_v enjoin_v all_o christian_n when_o they_o do_v suffer_v upon_o these_o account_n to_o suffer_v patient_o and_o not_o resist_v it_o be_v not_o therefore_o any_o authority_n which_o god_n have_v give_v to_o the_o prince_n to_o punish_v man_n for_o do_v well_o that_o bind_v the_o christian_a thus_o to_o suffer_v but_o the_o plain_a law_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o land_n both_o which_o forbid_v they_o that_o resistance_n which_o alone_o can_v hinder_v it_o no_o master_n have_v authority_n from_o god_n to_o deal_v perverse_o with_o his_o servant_n no_o parent_n to_o deal_v unnatural_o and_o unjust_o with_o his_o child_n but_o yet_o i_o hope_v this_o will_v not_o authorise_v they_o to_o resist_v and_o to_o rebel_v against_o master_n or_o parent_n when_o they_o thus_o suffer_v by_o they_o and_o what_o can_v then_o remain_v but_o that_o they_o quiet_o do_v suffer_v wrongful_o finis_fw-la
