bacon_n observe_v in_o his_o history_n of_o henry_n the_o vii_o fol._n 13._o and_o in_o the_o case_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n who_o be_v declare_v bastard_n by_o act_n of_o parliament_n as_o be_v clear_a by_o cambden_n anno_fw-la 2._o elizabeth_n and_o though_o in_o scotland_n there_o be_v no_o express_a instance_n of_o this_o because_o though_o some_o rebellious_a ringleader_n in_o scotland_n have_v often_o in_o a_o private_a capacity_n be_v very_o injurious_a to_o their_o king_n yet_o their_o parliament_n have_v be_v ever_o very_o tender_a of_o attaint_v the_o blood_n royal_a or_o presumptive_a heir_n but_o alexander_n duke_n of_o albany_n and_o his_o succession_n be_v declare_v traitor_n by_o his_o brother_n king_n james_n the_o iv._o his_o son_n john_n be_v notwithstanding_o call_v home_o from_o france_n upon_o his_o uncle_n death_n and_o declare_v tutor_n and_o governor_n without_o any_o remission_n or_o be_v restore_v that_o employment_n be_v find_v to_o be_v due_a to_o

be_v sufficient_a to_o establish_v our_o design_n i_o shall_v mention_v only_o some_o foreign_a story_n charles_n the_o vii_o of_o france_n who_o though_o banish_v by_o sentence_n of_o the_o parliament_n of_o paris_n do_o thereafter_o succeed_v to_o the_o crown_n and_o though_o lewis_n the_o xii_o be_v forfeit_v for_o take_v up_o arm_n against_o charles_n the_o viii_o yet_o he_o succeed_v to_o he_o 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 substitut_v in_o his_o place_n charles_n

the_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 mantain_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 earrings_a 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 otherways_o jacob_n nor_o solomon_n can_v not_o have_v succeed_v against_o the_o privilege_n of_o birthright_a and_o possession_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 whilst_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 then_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 debart_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_v and_o immediate_a will_n and_o overturning_a the_o uncontraverted_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

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 disowne_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 difference_n in_o religion_n do_v not_o make_v void_a the_o magistrate_n just_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 prov'de_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

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

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 king_n charles_n the_o 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 allow_v this_o fatal_a error_n which_o be_v able_a to_o
