mere_a constitution_n or_o agreement_n of_o man_n this_o case_n of_o david_n further_a teach_v that_o if_o when_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n be_v grow_v high_a it_o be_v any_o way_n necessary_a that_o the_o king_n be_v let_v fall_v into_o sin_n before_o the_o people_n be_v punish_v then_o be_v king_n immediate_o between_o god_n and_o the_o people_n and_o stand_v there_o like_o moses_n in_o the_o gap_n to_o withhold_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n from_o the_o people_n until_o that_o they_o also_o by_o fall_v someway_o be_v remove_v again_o if_o the_o king_n transgression_n in_o government_n have_v the_o original_a from_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n then_o be_v the_o people_n the_o prime_a offender_n and_o first_o agent_n in_o the_o king_n transgression_n and_o he_o himself_o be_v as_o it_o be_v accessary_a and_o in_o a_o manner_n passive_a in_o it_o we_o see_v that_o god_n himself_o here_o judge_v so_o and_o lay_v the_o real_a punishment_n upon_o the_o people_n who_o he_o account_v the_o original_a sinner_n as_o for_o the_o king_n to_o who_o the_o sin_n be_v verbal_o ascribe_v we_o see_v god_n reckon_v as_o if_o he_o be_v only_o passive_a in_o commit_v it_o and_o therefore_o inflict_v no_o punishment_n on_o he_o but_o what_o he_o voluntary_o take_v upon_o he_o a_o humble_n of_o himself_o and_o a_o compassionate_a fellowfeeling_n of_o punishment_n such_o as_o a_o good_a common_a father_n have_v always_o by_o the_o sense_n of_o his_o people_n suffering_n it_o now_o follow_v plain_o that_o the_o people_n that_o have_v their_o hand_n in_o sin_n be_v no_o competent_a justiciar_n for_o hear_v judge_a and_o reform_v of_o any_o misdemeanour_n especial_o of_o those_o in_o which_o they_o themselves_o have_v the_o principal_a hand_n be_v the_o principal_n and_o less_o where_o the_o person_n question_v be_v but_o a_o accessary_a draw_v in_o by_o they_o and_o lest_o of_o all_o where_o he_o be_v a_o person_n sacred_a and_o one_o so_o much_o superior_a as_o by_o god_n ordinance_n to_o stand_v immediate_o betwixt_o god_n and_o they_o sure_a he_o that_o will_v not_o suffer_v one_o with_o a_o beam_n in_o his_o eye_n to_o pull_v a_o moat_n out_o of_o the_o eye_n of_o his_o brother_n do_v not_o permit_v he_o to_o do_v it_o towards_o one_o so_o much_o superior_a as_o his_o prince_n nor_o suffer_v guilty_a subject_n to_o arraign_v their_o sovereign_n guilty_a servant_n their_o lord_n nor_o guilty_a son_n their_o common_a father_n to_o conclude_v we_o may_v consider_v the_o unlawfulness_n of_o popular_a animadversion_n into_o the_o manner_n and_o government_n of_o prince_n especial_o of_o prince_n that_o be_v lawful_a christian_a monarch_n even_o in_o this_o alone_a that_o there_o be_v no_o receive_v nor_o know_a bound_n of_o limitation_n how_o far_o people_n may_v walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o question_v and_o reform_v the_o error_n of_o prince_n but_o that_o if_o any_o thing_n at_o all_o be_v lawful_a for_o they_o to_o do_v therein_o then_o may_v they_o without_o restraint_n proceed_v so_o far_o as_o to_o depose_v prince_n and_o deprive_v they_o of_o their_o life_n if_o according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o jesuit_n they_o find_v it_o for_o the_o good_a and_o reformation_n of_o the_o church_n and_o commonwealth_n which_o how_o well_o it_o be_v warrant_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o may_v see_v plain_o enough_o in_o the_o case_n between_o saul_n and_o david_n saul_n be_v king_n but_o misgovern_v himself_o and_o the_o kingdom_n become_v as_o bad_a as_o excommunicate_v and_o depose_v 13._o for_o he_o be_v reject_v of_o god_n and_o david_n be_v by_o god_n express_a command_n anoint_v to_o be_v king_n all_o which_o notwithstanding_o neither_o david_n nor_o the_o people_n ever_o seek_v to_o depose_v he_o to_o

nay_o saul_n after_o this_o persecute_a david_n unjust_o and_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o unjust_a and_o hostile_a persecution_n be_v deliver_v into_o david_n hand_n and_o it_o be_v of_o necessity_n that_o david_n shall_v take_v the_o advantage_n and_o kill_v he_o for_o he_o can_v not_o otherwise_o have_v any_o assurance_n of_o his_o own_o life_n david_n do_v then_o but_o even_o cut_v of_o the_o skirt_n of_o saul_n garment_n to_o the_o end_n it_o may_v witness_v his_o faithful_a loyalty_n because_o it_o make_v it_o manifest_a he_o can_v as_o easy_o have_v cut_v the_o thread_n of_o

and_o will_v have_v embrace_v the_o opportunity_n and_o have_v make_v he_o away_o david_n restrain_v they_o still_o with_o the_o same_o bridle_n the_o lord_n forbid_v etc._n etc._n and_o tell_v they_o 9_o who_o can_v lay_v his_o hand_n on_o the_o lord_n anoint_n and_o be_v guiltless_a no_o david_n though_o already_o anoint_v will_v tarry_v god_n time_n the_o lord_n shall_v smite_v saul_n or_o his_o

neither_o his_o fall_n from_o god_n nor_o god_n declare_v he_o reject_v nor_o david_n anoint_v by_o god_n command_n nor_o saul_n unjust_a persecution_n of_o david_n the_o lord_n anoint_n in_o future_a can_v dissolve_v the_o duty_n of_o his_o subject_n nor_o make_v it_o lawful_a for_o they_o to_o lay_v their_o hand_n on_o he_o no_o not_o when_o he_o be_v in_o wicked_a hostility_n against_o they_o but_o saul_n in_o david_n account_n be_v still_o the_o lord_n anoint_n still_o a_o sacred_a person_n still_o david_n master_n notwithstanding_o the_o circumstance_n which_o may_v seem_v to_o have_v discharge_v the_o tie_n of_o duty_n which_o david_n and_o the_o people_n do_v former_o owe_v unto_o he_o neither_o be_v the_o anoint_n of_o king_n a_o thing_n sacred_a as_o to_o their_o own_o

to_o his_o own_o confession_n make_v a_o slight_a account_n of_o the_o cause_n which_o he_o pretend_v as_o a_o frivolous_a extenuation_n of_o a_o heinous_a fact_n and_o condemn_v he_o though_o a_o

neither_o his_o be_v a_o stranger_n nor_o any_o of_o the_o other_o circumstance_n be_v so_o available_a but_o that_o his_o blood_n fall_v deserve_o upon_o his_o own_o head_n the_o act_n be_v in_o itself_o perfect_o wicked_a and_o in_o the_o degree_n heinous_a altogether_o against_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o all_o action_n of_o subject_n that_o in_o the_o progress_n of_o they_o tend_v or_o by_o the_o way_n threaten_v to_o arrive_v at_o that_o upshot_n be_v all_o unlawful_a foul_a and_o wicked_a and_o not_o only_o the_o actor_n themselves_o wicked_a but_o their_o assistant_n
