own_o soul_n the_o king_n himself_o may_v be_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o these_o or_o most_o of_o these_o relation_n as_o the_o case_n be_v put_v entice_v thou_o secret_o say_v let_v we_o go_v and_o serve_v other_o god_n which_o thou_o have_v not_o know_v thou_o nor_o thy_o father_n thou_o shall_v not_o consent_v not_o he_o nor_o hearken_v unto_o he_o neither_o shall_v thy_o eye_n pity_v he_o neither_o shall_v thou_o spare_v neither_o shall_v thou_o conceal_v he_o but_o thou_o shall_v sure_o kill_v he_o thy_o hand_n shall_v be_v first_o upon_o he_o to_o put_v he_o to_o death_n and_o afterward_o the_o hand_n of_o all_o the_o people_n and_o thou_o shall_v stone_n he_o with_o stone_n that_o he_o die_v deut._n 13.6_o etc._n etc._n in_o which_o word_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n plain_o show_v that_o in_o this_o case_n the_o great_a and_o near_a relation_n of_o friendship_n love_n and_o duty_n that_o we_o can_v owe_v to_o any_o whatsoever_o they_o be_v of_o what_o dignity_n or_o

case_n the_o ruler_n or_o the_o king_n shall_v do_v thus_o that_o the_o like_a shall_v not_o be_v do_v unto_o they_o but_o god_n require_v that_o equity_n and_o justice_n be_v do_v alike_o upon_o all_o without_o respect_n of_o person_n as_o we_o well_o know_v that_o this_o be_v the_o charge_n that_o god_n have_v give_v deut._n 16.19_o thou_o shall_v not_o wrest_v judgement_n thou_o shall_v not_o respect_v person_n where_o god_n show_v thus_o much_o unto_o we_o that_o to_o respect_v the_o person_n of_o any_o in_o matter_n of_o judgement_n or_o justice_n be_v to_o wrest_v justice_n and_o to_o go_v aside_o from_o that_o which_o be_v right_a god_n will_v have_v equal_a and_o impartial_a judgement_n administer_v alike_o unto_o all_o and_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v give_v by_o the_o holyghost_n in_o the_o place_n before_o cite_v deut._n 13.11_o that_o all_o israel_n may_v hear_v and_o fear_v and_o do_v no_o more_o any_o such_o wickedness_n now_o there_o be_v none_o that_o will_v deny_v but_o that_o king_n by_o nature_n be_v as_o bad_a as_o any_o and_o be_v subject_a to_o be_v worse_o than_o any_o other_o by_o reason_n of_o those_o flatterer_n and_o evil_a counselor_n that_o usual_o be_v about_o they_o as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o the_o example_n of_o joash_n 2_o chron._n 24_o 17._o and_o of_o rehoboam_n 2_o chron_n 10.8_o etc._n etc._n shall_v it_o be_v so_o then_o that_o there_o be_v no_o law_n in_o force_n bind_v unto_o they_o as_o well_o as_o unto_o we_o and_o example_n of_o true_a and_o equal_a justice_n make_v upon_o they_o as_o well_o as_o upon_o other_o it_o be_v the_o very_a next_o way_n to_o open_v a_o gap_n to_o all_o king_n and_o prince_n to_o all_o manner_n of_o wickedness_n and_o licentiousness_n and_o to_o make_v they_o tyrant_n that_o otherwise_o will_v be_v good_a and_o gracious_a towards_o their_o people_n whereas_o this_o will_v be_v a_o very_a good_a mean_n to_o keep_v king_n in_o as_o well_o as_o other_o from_o run_v into_o such_o extravagant_a course_n to_o the_o dishonour_n of_o god_n and_o the_o destruction_n of_o their_o people_n as_o usual_o they_o be_v wont_v to_o do_v unless_o we_o will_v say_v that_o god_n have_v give_v unto_o king_n and_o prince_n a_o dispensation_n above_o all_o other_o to_o run_v headlong_o unto_o hell_n without_o control_n they_o that_o teach_v such_o doctrine_n by_o this_o now_o it_o appear_v what_o friend_n they_o be_v unto_o they_o whatsoever_o they_o may_v pretend_v who_o will_v make_v king_n of_o all_o other_o the_o most_o miserable_a by_o ascribe_v unto_o they_o a_o unrestrained_a liberty_n to_o all_o wickedness_n whatsoever_o to_o their_o destruction_n but_o here_o come_v in_o another_o objection_n for_o will_v some_o say_v again_o king_n be_v god_n anoint_a therefore_o man_n may_v not_o question_v they_o much_o less_o may_v they_o touch_v their_o life_n whatsoever_o their_o action_n be_v and_o thus_o much_o say_v david_n concern_v saul_n who_o be_v king_n of_o israel_n though_o he_o be_v a_o wicked_a king_n and_o his_o enemy_n that_o seek_v his_o life_n and_o that_o for_o no_o just_a cause_n neither_o yet_o when_o david_n have_v a_o opportunity_n to_o slay_v he_o 1_o sam._n 24_o 6._o he_o speak_v thus_o the_o lord_n forbid_v that_o i_o shall_v do_v this_o thing_n unto_o my_o master_n the_o lord_n anoint_v to_o stretch_v forth_o my_o hand_n against_o he_o see_v he_o be_v the_o anoint_a of_o the_o lord_n so_o again_o 1_o sam._n 26.9_o who_o can_v stretch_v forth_o his_o hand_n against_o the_o lord_n anoint_v and_o be_v guiltless_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v david_n be_v a_o private_a man_n notwithstanding_o he_o be_v saul_n successor_n by_o god_n appointment_n to_o the_o crown_n and_o so_o have_v no_o warrant_n to_o do_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o this_o as_o to_o take_v away_o the_o life_n of_o saul_n the_o king_n though_o he_o have_v do_v he_o or_o shall_v seek_v to_o do_v he_o never_o so_o much_o harm_n for_o in_o a_o case_n far_o inferior_a to_o this_o we_o know_v that_o if_o a_o private_a man_n be_v a_o thief_n and_o by_o law_n be_v condemn_v to_o die_v yet_o no_o man_n may_v lay_v violent_a hand_n upon_o he_o to_o take_v away_o his_o life_n but_o only_o in_o a_o legal_a way_n and_o by_o the_o executioner_n that_o be_v by_o authority_n appoint_v for_o this_o purpose_n if_o any_o man_n shall_v he_o will_v be_v account_v a_o murderer_n for_o so_o do_v and_o be_v liable_a to_o suffer_v the_o law_n in_o that_o case_n provide_v so_o than_o if_o this_o can_v be_v justifiable_a upon_o a_o private_a person_n condemn_v by_o law_n much_o less_o than_o upon_o a_o public_a person_n especial_o such_o a_o one_o as_o a_o king_n be_v and_o uncondemned_a too_o therefore_o in_o this_o case_n have_v david_n take_v away_o saul_n life_n who_o be_v then_o king_n of_o israel_n he_o have_v be_v much_o to_o blame_v and_o have_v sin_v exceed_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n wherefore_o david_n will_v not_o do_v it_o but_o we_o do_v not_o know_v what_o david_n will_v have_v do_v or_o what_o he_o may_v have_v do_v in_o case_n saul_n shall_v forceible_o have_v come_v upon_o he_o to_o have_v take_v away_o his_o life_n in_o his_o own_o just_a defence_n for_o his_o own_o safety_n and_o preservation_n for_o else_o for_o what_o end_n have_v david_n those_o 600._o man_n with_o he_o sure_o it_o will_v be_v answer_v and_o i_o believe_v the_o most_o malignant_a among_o they_o all_o will_v not_o deny_v it_o that_o he_o have_v they_o for_o his_o defence_n be_v it_o so_o then_o true_o i_o think_v that_o they_o that_o will_v defend_v themselves_o by_o arm_n and_o arm_a man_n must_v needs_o offend_v when_o they_o be_v offend_v for_o this_o be_v a_o mere_a conceit_n that_o even_o very_a child_n will_v be_v ready_a to_o laugh_v at_o to_o say_v that_o when_o a_o man_n enemy_n come_v against_o he_o to_o do_v he_o a_o mischief_n he_o must_v only_o defend_v himself_o but_o must_v not_o strike_v again_o for_o how_o be_v this_o possible_a for_o a_o man_n to_o defend_v himself_o from_o his_o enemy_n and_o yet_o not_o offend_v his_o enemy_n then_o for_o asmuch_o as_o king_n be_v call_v the_o anoint_a of_o the_o lord_n they_o be_v so_o call_v in_o two_o respect_n first_o either_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o anoint_v oil_n that_o be_v pour_v upon_o they_o by_o the_o performance_n of_o which_o ceremony_n they_o be_v inaugurize_v into_o their_o function_n and_o office_n or_o else_o in_o regard_n of_o that_o authority_n which_o by_o their_o people_n they_o be_v elect_v unto_o whereby_o they_o become_v god_n deputy_n and_o vicegerent_n here_o on_o earth_n in_o rule_v and_o govern_v of_o his_o people_n for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o in_o asmuch_o as_o king_n be_v call_v the_o anoint_a of_o the_o lord_n because_o of_o the_o anoint_v oil_n that_o be_v pour_v upon_o they_o by_o the_o performance_n of_o which_o ceremony_n they_o be_v inaugurize_v into_o their_o function_n whereof_o some_o there_o be_v that_o god_n do_v in_o a_o more_o especial_a manner_n thus_o institute_v and_o ordain_v even_o by_o his_o own_o immediate_a appointment_n as_o to_o wit_n saul_n david_n solomon_n jehu_n and_o hazael_n who_o he_o command_v elijah_n to_o anoint_v king_n over_o syria_n yet_o i_o see_v no_o ground_n nor_o reason_n why_o even_o these_o shall_v not_o be_v responsal_n to_o the_o law_n and_o to_o their_o kingdom_n for_o their_o action_n for_o i_o do_v not_o perceive_v that_o god_n do_v any_o whit_n hereby_o exempt_v they_o from_o the_o observance_n of_o his_o law_n either_o
