and_o irresistible_a the_o person_n and_o authority_n of_o king_n be_v under_o the_o jewish_a government_n and_o there_o can_v be_v a_o plain_a example_n of_o this_o than_o in_o the_o case_n of_o david_n he_o be_v himself_o anoint_v to_o be_v king_n after_o saul_n death_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n he_o be_v grievous_o persecute_v by_o saul_n who_o pursue_v he_o from_o one_o place_n to_o another_o with_o a_o design_n to_o take_v away_o his_o life_n how_o now_o do_v david_n behave_v himself_o in_o this_o extremity_n what_o course_n do_v he_o take_v to_o secure_v himself_o from_o saul_n why_o he_o take_v the_o only_a course_n that_o be_v leave_v to_o a_o subject_a 28.29_o he_o fly_v for_o it_o and_o hide_v himself_o from_o saul_n in_o the_o mountain_n and_o cave_n of_o the_o wilderness_n and_o when_o he_o find_v he_o be_v discover_v in_o one_o place_n he_o remove_v to_o another_o he_o keep_v spy_n upon_o saul_n to_o observe_v his_o motion_n not_o that_o he_o may_v meet_v he_o to_o give_v he_o bat●le_a or_o to_o take_v he_o at_o a_o advantage_n but_o that_o he_o may_v keep_v out_o of_o his_o way_n and_o not_o fall_v unaware_o into_o his_o hand_n well_o but_o this_o be_v no_o thanks_o to_o david_n you_o will_v say_v because_o he_o can_v not_o do_v otherwise_o he_o be_v too_o weak_a for_o saul_n and_o not_o able_a to_o stand_v against_o he_o and_o therefore_o have_v no_o other_o remedy_n but_o flight_n but_o yet_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o david_n be_v a_o man_n of_o war_n he_o slay_v goliath_n and_o fight_v the_o battle_n of_o israel_n with_o great_a success_n he_o be_v a_o admire_a and_o belove_a captain_n which_o make_v saul_n so_o jealous_a of_o he_o the_o eye_n of_o israel_n be_v upon_o he_o for_o their_o next_o king_n and_o how_o easy_o may_v he_o have_v raise_v a_o potent_a and_o formidable_a rebellion_n against_o saul_n but_o he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o this_o that_o he_o invite_v no_o man_n to_o his_o assistance_n and_o when_o some_o come_v uninvited_a he_o make_v no_o use_n of_o they_o in_o a_o offensive_a or_o defensive_a war_n against_o saul_n nay_o when_o god_n deliver_v saul_n twice_o into_o david_n hand_n that_o he_o can_v as_o easy_o have_v kill_v he_o as_o have_v cut_v off_o the_o skirt_n of_o his_o garment_n at_o engedi_n 26._o or_o as_o have_v take_v that_o spear_n away_o which_o stick_v on_o the_o ground_n as_o his_o bolster_n as_o he_o do_v in_o the_o hill_n of_o hachil●h_n yet_o he_o will_v neither_o touch_v saul_n himself_o nor_o suffer_v any_o of_o the_o people_n that_o be_v with_o he_o to_o do_v it_o though_o they_o be_v very_o importunate_a with_o he_o to_o let_v they_o kill_v saul_n nay_o though_o they_o urge_v he_o with_o a_o argument_n from_o providence_n that_o it_o be_v a_o plain_a evidence_n that_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o he_o shall_v kill_v he_o 26.8_o because_o god_n have_v now_o deliver_v his_o enemy_n into_o his_o hand_n according_a to_o the_o promise_v he_o have_v make_v to_o david_n we_o know_v what_o use_v some_o man_n have_v make_v of_o this_o argument_n of_o providence_n to_o justify_v all_o the_o villainy_n they_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o act_v 30._o but_o david_n it_o seem_v do_v not_o think_v that_o a_o opportunity_n of_o do_v evil_a give_v he_o a_o licence_n and_o authority_n to_o do_v it_o opportunity_n we_o say_v make_v a_o thief_n and_o it_o make_v a_o rebel_n and_o a_o murderer_n too_o no_o man_n can_v do_v any_o wickedness_n which_o he_o have_v no_o opportunity_n of_o do_v and_o if_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n which_o put_v such_o opportunity_n into_o man_n hand_n may_v justify_v the_o wickedness_n they_o commit_v no_o man_n can_v be_v chargeable_a with_o any_o gild_n whatever_o he_o do_v and_o certain_o opportunity_n will_v as_o soon_o justify_v any_o other_o sin_n as_o rebellion_n and_o the_o murder_n of_o prince_n we_o be_v to_o learn_v our_o duty_n from_o the_o law_n of_o god_n not_o from_o his_o providence_n at_o least_o this_o must_v be_v a_o settle_a principle_n that_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n will_v never_o justify_v any_o action_n which_o his_o law_n forbid_v and_o therefore_o notwithstanding_o this_o opportunity_n which_o god_n have_v put_v into_o his_o hand_n to_o destroy_v his_o enemy_n and_o to_o take_v the_o crown_n for_o his_o reward_n david_n consider_v his_o duty_n remember_v that_o though_o saul_n be_v his_o enemy_n and_o that_o very_o unjust_o yet_o he_o be_v still_o the_o lord_n anoint_v the_o lord_n forbid_v say_v he_o that_o i_o shall_v do_v this_o unto_o my_o master_n the_o lord_n anoint_v to_o stretch_v forth_o any_o hand_n against_o he_o see_v he_o be_v the_o lord_n anoint_v nay_o he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o take_v away_o his_o life_n that_o his_o heart_n smite_v he_o for_o cut_v off_o the_o skirt_n of_o his_o garment_n and_o we_o ought_v to_o observe_v the_o reason_n david_n give_v why_o he_o dare_v not_o hurt_v saul_n because_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n anoint_v which_o be_v the_o very_a reason_n the_o apostle_n give_v in_o the_o roman_n 2._o because_o the_o power_n that_o be_v be_v ordain_v of_o god_n and_o he_o that_o resist_v the_o power_n resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n for_o to_o be_v anoint_v of_o god_n signify_v no_o more_o than_o that_o he_o be_v make_v king_n or_o ordain_v by_o god_n for_o this_o external_a unction_n be_v only_o a_o visible_a sign_n of_o god_n designation_n of_o they_o to_o such_o a_o office_n and_o it_o be_v certain_a they_o be_v as_o much_o god_n anoint_v without_o this_o visible_a unction_n as_o with_o it_o cyrus_n be_v call_v god_n anoint_v though_o he_o never_o be_v anoint_v by_o any_o prophet_n but_o only_o design_v for_o his_o kingdom_n by_o prophecy_n 45.1_o and_o we_o never_o read_v in_o scripture_n that_o any_o king_n have_v this_o external_a unction_n who_o succeed_v in_o the_o kingdom_n by_o right_a of_o inheritance_n unless_o the_o title_n and_o succession_n be_v doubtful_a and_o yet_o they_o be_v the_o lord_n anoint_v too_o that_o be_v be_v place_v in_o the_o throne_n by_o he_o so_o that_o this_o be_v a_o eternal_a reason_n against_o resi_v sovereign_a prince_n that_o they_o be_v set_v up_o by_o god_n and_o invest_v with_o his_o authority_n and_o therefore_o their_o person_n and_o their_o authority_n be_v sacred_a f._n i_o be_o so_o far_o from_o differ_v with_o you_o in_o what_o you_o have_v say_v concern_v this_o example_n of_o david_n towards_o saul_n though_o his_o enemy_n that_o i_o think_v it_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o pattern_n to_o every_o single_a private_a man_n though_o never_o so_o great_a in_o a_o kingdom_n or_o commonwealth_n how_o to_o comport_v himself_o towards_o the_o supreme_a power_n if_o he_o himself_o alone_o be_v

though_o there_o be_v some_o circumstance_n in_o this_o story_n of_o david_n that_o make_v it_o evident_a that_o he_o do_v not_o think_v a_o defensive_a war_n against_o those_o cutthroat_n that_o saul_n may_v send_v to_o kill_v he_o unlawful_a 2._o and_o so_o much_o dr._n fearn_n himself_o in_o his_o first_o discourse_n call_v resolve_v of_o conscience_n etc._n etc._n against_o resistance_n of_o the_o high_a power_n acknowledge_v for_o david_n when_o he_o flee_v from_o saul_n make_v himself_o captain_n of_o four_o hundred_o man_n which_o number_n soon_o increase_v to_o six_o hundred_o 12.1_o and_o still_o every_o day_n grow_v more_o by_o addition_n now_o why_o shall_v he_o entertain_v those_o man_n but_o to_o defend_v himself_o against_o the_o force_n of_o saul_n that_o be_v to_o make_v a_o defensive_a war_n when_o ever_o he_o be_v assault_v by_o he_o m._n i_o think_v i_o can_v give_v you_o a_o sufficient_a answer_n to_o this_o and_o therefore_o you_o must_v observe_v that_o david_n invite_v none_o of_o these_o man_n in_o to_o he_o but_o they_o come_v as_o volunteer_n after_o a_o belove_a captain_n 32._o and_o general_n which_o show_v how_o formidable_a he_o can_v easy_o have_v make_v himself_o when_o such_o number_n resort_v to_o he_o of_o their_o own_o accord_n when_o he_o have_v they_o he_o never_o use_v they_o for_o any_o hostile_a act_n against_o saul_n or_o any_o of_o his_o force_n he_o never_o stand_v his_o ground_n when_o he_o hear_v saul_n be_v come_v but_o always_o flee_v and_o his_o man_n with_o he_o man_n who_o never_o be_v use_v to_o fly_v and_o be_v very_o ready_a to_o have_v serve_v he_o against_o saul_n himself_o will_v he_o have_v permit_v they_o and_o i_o suppose_v you_o will_v not_o call_v it_o a_o defensive_a war_n to_o fly_v before_o a_o enemy_n and_o to_o hide_v

but_o resolve_v that_o his_o lust_n shall_v be_v unconfined_a whereby_o he_o become_v insupportable_a to_o his_o people_n they_o may_v as_o well_o distinguish_v his_o person_n from_o his_o power_n as_o they_o do_v in_o the_o case_n of_o prince_n when_o they_o be_v either_o fool_n or_o mad_a men._n m._n but_o pray_v consider_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o consequence_n of_o my_o last_o discourse_n and_o will_v not_o then_o the_o suppose_v a_o power_n in_o the_o people_n of_o make_v this_o distinction_n when_o they_o please_v and_o of_o judge_v when_o the_o prince_n government_n become_v intolerable_o tyrannical_a make_v they_o to_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o judge_v it_o so_o when_o it_o be_v quite_o otherwise_o and_o so_o not_o scruple_n to_o rebel_n or_o to_o resist_v as_o you_o call_v it_o when_o ever_o they_o be_v in_o the_o mind_n to_o do_v it_o and_o we_o have_v the_o more_o reason_n to_o be_v afraid_a of_o this_o because_o from_o the_o long_a parliament_n and_o their_o

be_v a_o easy_a thing_n to_o judge_v of_o the_o madness_n and_o folly_n of_o prince_n as_o well_o as_o other_o man_n yet_o the_o wickedness_n and_o partiality_n of_o human_a nature_n consider_v it_o be_v a_o much_o hard_a task_n to_o judge_v right_o what_o action_n of_o prince_n be_v destructive_a to_o civil_a government_n and_o tender_v they_o as_o uncapable_a of_o it_o as_o the_o most_o

it_o be_v very_o pat_o to_o the_o subject_a in_o hand_n i_o think_v i_o may_v likewise_o remark_n that_o those_o inconvenience_n you_o suppose_v of_o make_v the_o people_n judge_n in_o this_o case_n be_v the_o sole_a objection_n i_o can_v find_v you_o have_v against_o what_o i_o have_v say_v for_o otherwise_o i_o do_v not_o see_v you_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o allege_v against_o the_o fitness_n of_o the_o parallel_n but_o i_o have_v already_o i_o believe_v make_v it_o pretty_a plain_n that_o murder_v enslave_v and_o rob_v of_o the_o people_n of_o their_o property_n be_v thing_n as_o easy_a to_o be_v judge_v of_o as_o folly_n or_o madness_n and_o if_o a_o few_o domestic_n about_o the_o prince_n shall_v be_v allow_v to_o judge_n when_o their_o monarch_n be_v mad_a or_o foolish_a enough_o to_o be_v resist_v and_o shut_v up_o i_o can_v see_v any_o reason_n why_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o people_n may_v not_o as_o well_o be_v able_a to_o judge_n when_o by_o his_o tyranny_n and_o oppression_n he_o have_v dissolve_v the_o government_n and_o enter_v into_o a_o state_n of_o war_n with_o they_o but_o to_o return_v now_o to_o the_o last_o part_n of_o your_o former_a answer_n wherein_o you_o grant_v that_o this_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d do_v sometime_o signify_v not_o only_o the_o person_n but_o the_o exercise_n of_o authority_n but_o that_o it_o do_v not_o signify_v the_o right_n or_o lawful_a use_n of_o it_o but_o abuse_v too_o and_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o you_o allege_v the_o speech_n of_o pilate_n to_o our_o saviour_n i_o be_o very_a well_o satisfy_v that_o that_o text_n will_v make_v nothing_o for_o your_o purpose_n for_o though_o i_o grant_v that_o the_o word_n in_o that_o place_n denote_v power_n or_o authority_n yet_o do_v it_o not_o there_o signify_v the_o abuse_n of_o it_o too_o for_o certain_o pilate_n will_v never_o have_v tell_v our_o saviour_n that_o he_o have_v a_o power_n to_o abuse_v his_o authority_n and_o to_o condemn_v he_o though_o innocent_a neither_o will_v our_o saviour_n have_v answer_v he_o that_o he_o have_v that_o power_n from_o above_o and_o therefore_o i_o think_v i_o may_v very_o well_o maintain_v my_o syllogism_n to_o be_v true_a notwithstanding_o your_o deny_v of_o the_o minor_a proposition_n for_o since_o you_o can_v affirm_v tyranny_n to_o be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n yet_o that_o the_o power_n or_o authority_n of_o which_o this_o tyranny_n be_v but_o a_o abuse_n be_v of_o divine_a institution_n which_o be_v but_o a_o fallacy_n if_o it_o be_v look_v into_o for_o though_o you_o may_v vulgar_o speak_v call_v all_o tyranny_n a_o abuse_n of_o civil_a power_n yet_o some_o tyranny_n be_v more_o than_o that_o for_o it_o be_v not_o so_o proper_o a_o abuse_n as_o a_o corruption_n of_o it_o into_o quite_o another_o thing_n which_o god_n never_o institute_v and_o consequent_o therefore_o be_v not_o to_o be_v submit_v to_o out_o of_o conscience_n it_o be_v a_o old_a say_n corruptio_fw-la optimi_fw-la est_fw-la pessima_fw-la and_o you_o may_v as_o well_o tell_v i_o that_o vinegar_n notwithstanding_o its_o acidity_n continue_v wine_n still_o as_o that_o civil_a government_n when_o it_o degenerate_v into_o the_o rank_a tyranny_n continue_v still_o god_n ordinance_n and_o if_o this_o be_v the_o true_a consequence_n you_o draw_v from_o your_o argument_n it_o signify_v little_a viz._n that_o the_o abuse_v of_o this_o power_n do_v not_o make_v void_a the_o authority_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n or_o nature_n for_o i_o think_v i_o may_v maintain_v the_o clear_a contrary_n to_o what_o you_o assert_v viz._n that_o the_o obligation_n not_o to_o resist_v supreme_a power_n do_v receive_v some_o validity_n from_o the_o justice_n they_o execute_v and_o be_v

swear_v enemy_n to_o the_o whole_a nation_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o that_o instead_o of_o govern_v and_o protect_v they_o they_o have_v go_v about_o utter_o to_o destroy_v they_o i_o think_v they_o
