any_o temporal_a pain_n lest_o he_o fall_v into_o eternal_a one_o no_o one_o may_v do_v it_o by_o reason_n of_o another_o sin_n lest_o he_o thereby_o begin_v to_o have_v most_o grievous_a sin_n of_o

then_o be_v our_o three_o conclusion_n no_o one_o be_v lord_n so_o much_o as_o of_o his_o own_o life_n four_o whosoever_o therefore_o pretend_v or_o exercise_v a_o power_n over_o other_o man_n life_n must_v either_o derive_v that_o power_n from_o the_o supreme_a magistrate_n to_o who_o dominion_n he_o belong_v or_o in_o case_n he_o do_v not_o he_o become_v by_o such_o exercise_n or_o attempt_n either_o a_o usurper_n or_o murderer_n or_o both_o if_o he_o pretend_v to_o a_o public_a power_n herein_o not_o derive_v it_o as_o aforesaid_a he_o be_v a_o usurper_n and_o that_o as_o general_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v in_o all_o usurper_n be_v as_o much_o as_o a_o public_a murderer_n if_o he_o exercise_v only_o a_o private_a power_n as_o suppose_v in_o right_v or_o avenge_a himself_n or_o any_o three_o person_n against_o some_o single_a injurious_a man_n he_o hereby_o become_v a_o private_a murderer_n at_o least_o before_o god_n in_o case_n the_o life_n of_o himself_o or_o of_o any_o other_o be_v but_o hazard_v by_o his_o act._n this_o be_v most_o plain_a for_o have_v no_o such_o power_n in_o himself_o and_o it_o be_v by_o god_n commit_v only_o to_o the_o magistrate_n he_o can_v never_o come_v by_o it_o regular_o and_o in_o god_n way_n except_o he_o receive_v it_o from_o they_o to_o who_o god_n have_v commit_v it_o thus_o though_o the_o whole_a remain_v of_o saul_n house_n be_v in_o open_a hostility_n against_o david_n and_o ishbosheth_n particular_o so_o keen_a a_o enemy_n to_o david_n person_n that_o he_o seek_v his_o life_n yet_o when_o baanah_n and_o rechab_n under_o pretence_n to_o do_v david_n a_o service_n and_o avenge_v their_o lord_n the_o king_n of_o saul_n and_o his_o seed_n go_v in_o private_o to_o ishbosheth_n house_n and_o take_v off_o his_o head_n to_o bring_v it_o as_o a_o present_a to_o david_n david_n pronounce_v sentence_n against_o they_o both_o as_o murderer_n because_o though_o there_o be_v a_o public_a quarrel_n yet_o these_o two_o officious_a wretch_n have_v no_o commission_n to_o act_v or_o interpose_v therein_o can_v not_o derive_v any_o right_a or_o authority_n for_o what_o they_o do_v either_o from_o god_n or_o man._n 2_o sam_n four_o 9_o etc._n etc._n admit_v ishbosheth_n do_v deserve_v death_n yet_o these_o man_n have_v no_o right_a to_o inflict_v it_o on_o he_o thus_o as_o to_o our_o four_o conclusion_n the_o five_o be_v the_o magistrate_n exercise_v this_o power_n of_o the_o sword_n either_o in_o the_o administration_n of_o civil_a justice_n or_o of_o lawful_a war._n a_o three_o way_n i_o think_v can_v be_v assign_v and_o therefore_o as_o we_o will_v more_o full_o touch_v by_o and_o by_o whosoever_o pretend_v to_o have_v receive_v power_n of_o life_n and_o death_n from_o the_o magistrate_n but_o be_v neither_o civil_a officer_n or_o legitimate_o enroll_v in_o the_o martial_a list_n be_v still_o by_o such_o pretence_n no_o better_o than_o murderer_n first_o as_o to_o matter_n of_o civil_a justice_n the_o person_n usual_o commission_v herein_o be_v either_o those_o who_o dispense_v the_o law_n as_o judge_n justices_z and_o the_o like_a or_o those_o who_o execute_v they_o as_o sheriff_n and_o under-officer_n that_o both_o these_o sort_n of_o man_n must_v derive_v their_o power_n from_o the_o king_n as_o supreme_a or_o else_o can_v act_v warrantable_o i_o think_v none_o will_v question_v we_o have_v precedent_n enough_o in_o the_o jewish_a kingdom_n in_o david_n time_n 2_o sam._n viij_o 15_o 16_o etc._n etc._n but_o more_o explicit_o afterward_o 2_o chron._n nineteeen_o 5_o 6._o to_o

sometime_o offender_n be_v too_o numerous_a for_o civil_a punishment_n and_o stand_v in_o justification_n of_o their_o crime_n against_o the_o power_n which_o god_n have_v ordain_v sometime_o not_o so_o much_o a_o few_o private_a person_n as_o whole_a nation_n at_o least_o those_o who_o manage_n national_a concern_v may_v be_v injurious_a to_o a_o neighbour_a people_n and_o in_o such_o case_n
