without_o restitution_n and_o lewis_n the_o ii_o his_o son_n be_v declare_v a_o rebel_n who_o his_o father_n desire_v to_o disinherit_v and_o to_o substitute_n in_o his_o place_n charles_n duke_n of_o

succession_n my_o next_o task_n shall_v be_v to_o satisfy_v the_o argument_n bring_v for_o maintain_v this_o opinion_n whereof_o the_o first_o be_v that_o god_n himself_o have_v authorise_v the_o invert_v the_o right_n of_o succession_n by_o the_o example_n of_o esau_n solomon_n and_o other_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o these_o instance_n which_o be_v warrant_v by_o express_a command_n from_o god_n be_v no_o more_o to_o be_v draw_v into_o example_n than_o the_o rob_n of_o the_o egyptian_n earring_n and_o it_o be_v need_v a_o express_a command_n and_o the_o express_v of_o that_o command_n do_v evince_n that_o otherwise_o jacob_n nor_o solomon_n can_v not_o have_v succeed_v against_o the_o privilege_n of_o birthright_n and_o possession_n david_n be_v a_o prophet_n and_o a_o man_n according_a to_o god_n own_o heart_n and_o so_o it_o be_v presumable_a that_o he_o know_v the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o god_n do_v wonderful_o and_o remarkable_o declare_v solomon_n to_o be_v preferable_a to_o all_o his_o brethren_n the_o next_o objection_n be_v that_o it_o be_v natural_o imply_v in_o all_o monarchy_n that_o the_o people_n shall_v obey_v while_o the_o prince_n govern_v just_o as_o in_o the_o paction_n betwixt_o david_n and_o the_o people_n 2_o sam._n 5._o which_o be_v most_o suitable_a to_o the_o principle_n of_o justice_n and_o government_n since_o relation_n can_v stand_v by_o one_o side_n so_o that_o when_o the_o king_n leave_v off_o to_o be_v king_n and_o become_v a_o tyrant_n the_o people_n may_v consult_v their_o own_o security_n in_o lay_v he_o aside_o as_o tutor_n may_v be_v remove_v when_o they_o be_v suspect_v and_o that_o this_o be_v most_o just_a when_o king_n be_v idolater_n since_o god_n be_v rather_o to_o be_v obey_v than_o man_n to_o all_o which_o it_o be_v answer_v that_o god_n who_o love_v order_n and_o know_v the_o extravagant_a levity_n and_o insolence_n of_o man_n especial_o when_o bait_v by_o hope_n of_o prey_n or_o promotion_n do_v wise_o think_v fit_a to_o ordain_v under_o the_o pain_n of_o eternal_a damnation_n that_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v subject_a to_o superior_a power_n for_o conscience_n sake_n 1_o pet._n 2._o 13._o and_o that_o whoever_o resist_v the_o power_n resist_v god_n rom._n 13._o 2._o reserve_v the_o punishment_n of_o king_n to_o himself_o as_o be_v only_o their_o superior_a and_o thus_o david_n asa_n and_o other_o commit_v crime_n but_o be_v not_o depose_v nor_o debar_v by_o the_o people_n nor_o be_v even_o the_o idolatrous_a king_n such_o as_o achab_n manasse_n etc._n etc._n judge_v by_o their_o subject_n nor_o do_v the_o prophet_n exhort_v the_o people_n to_o rise_v against_o they_o though_o they_o be_v oppose_v god_n express_a and_o immediate_a will_n and_o overturning_a the_o uncontroverted_a fundamental_o of_o religion_n nor_o do_v the_o father_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n excite_v the_o christian_n to_o oppose_v the_o heathen_a and_o idolatrous_a prince_n under_o which_o they_o live_v and_o paul_n command_v they_o to_o pray_v for_o these_o heathen_a emperor_n nor_o be_v the_o emperor_n basilicus_n depose_v for_o abrogate_a the_o council_n of_o chalcedon_n as_o be_v pretend_v by_o some_o republican_n but_o be_v turn_v out_o by_o the_o just_a successor_n zeno_n who_o he_o have_v former_o dethrone_v nor_o be_v zeno_n or_o anastasius_n degrade_v for_o their_o error_n in_o religion_n or_o their_o vice_n by_o the_o ancient_a christian_n but_o be_v oppress_v by_o private_a faction_n and_o sure_o they_o must_v think_v god_n unable_a to_o redress_v himself_o who_o without_o warrant_n and_o against_o his_o express_a warrant_n will_v usurp_v so_o high_a a_o power_n and_o we_o in_o this_o rebellious_a principle_n own_o the_o great_a extravagancy_n with_o which_o we_o can_v charge_v the_o pope_n and_o jesuit_n and_o disow_v not_o only_o our_o own_o confession_n of_o faith_n which_o article_n 1_o chap._n 22._o acknowledge_v that_o infidelity_n or_o

that_o the_o office_n but_o not_o the_o person_n of_o king_n be_v sacred_a so_o that_o parliament_n or_o people_n may_v lay_v aside_o the_o person_n though_o not_o the_o office_n see_v the_o sacred_a text_n secure_v often_o the_o person_n than_o the_o office_n as_o i_o have_v former_o more_o full_o prove_v and_o if_o this_o principle_n prevail_v as_o to_o the_o difference_n in_o the_o theory_n of_o religion_n it_o will_v in_o the_o next_o step_n be_v urge_v as_o to_o the_o practice_n of_o religion_n and_o we_o will_v change_v our_o king_n because_o we_o think_v they_o not_o pious_a as_o well_o as_o protestant_a and_o do_v not_o our_o sectarian_n refine_v so_o far_o as_o to_o think_v dominion_n found_v on_o grace_n and_o this_o opinion_n seem_v to_o i_o more_o solid_a than_o the_o other_o for_o certain_o a_o impious_a protestant_n be_v a_o worse_a governor_n and_o less_o god_n vicegerent_n and_o image_n than_o a_o devout_a papist_n and_o among_o protestant_n every_o sect_n will_v reject_v a_o king_n because_o he_o be_v not_o of_o their_o opinion_n and_o thus_o our_o covenanter_n by_o the_o act_n of_o the_o west-kirk_a anno_fw-la 1650._o declare_v they_o will_v disow_v our_o present_a monarch_n if_o he_o do_v not_o own_o the_o covenant_n and_o though_o a_o king_n be_v a_o protestant_n yet_o still_o this_o pretence_n that_o he_o design_v to_o introduce_v popery_n will_v raise_v his_o people_n against_o he_o if_o difference_n in_o religion_n can_v lawful_o arm_v subject_n against_o their_o king_n or_o do_v empower_v they_o to_o debar_v his_o successor_n and_o when_o this_o cheat_n prevail_v against_o devout_a k._n charles_n i._o the_o martyr_n of_o that_o orthodox_n faith_n to_o which_o he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v enemy_n what_o a_o madness_n be_v it_o to_o

arbitrariness_n against_o our_o king_n which_o we_o will_v not_o allow_v in_o they_o to_o we_o the_o second_o objection_n be_v that_o in_o england_n the_o parliament_n have_v frequent_o devolve_v the_o crown_n and_o government_n upon_o such_o as_o be_v not_o otherwise_o to_o have_v succeed_v as_o in_o the_o instance_n of_o edward_n the_o ii_o and_o richard_n the_o two_o the_o first_o of_o who_o be_v most_o unjust_o depose_v for_o make_v use_n of_o gavestoun_n and_o the_o spencer_n which_o show_v how_o extravagant_a the_o people_n be_v in_o their_o humour_n rather_o than_o how_o just_a their_o power_n be_v for_o beside_o that_o we_o do_v not_o read_v that_o these_o counsellor_n be_v unsufferable_a there_o be_v no_o good_a christian_n that_o can_v say_v that_o a_o king_n can_v be_v depose_v for_o use_v ill_a counsellor_n and_o as_o to_o richard_n the_o ii_o his_o case_n be_v so_o full_o examine_v and_o all_o the_o article_n bring_v both_o against_o he_o and_z edward_z the_o
