the_o safety_n of_o my_o own_o country_n ought_v to_o be_v dear_a to_o i_o than_o all_o the_o world_n beside_o and_o i_o have_v more_o reason_n to_o defend_v the_o right_n and_o privilege_n of_o that_o than_o all_o the_o prince_n title_n in_o the_o world_n but_o if_o our_o author_n shall_v not_o allow_v all_o the_o inference_n i_o have_v make_v from_o his_o concession_n yet_o i_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o reason_n to_o thank_v he_o for_o they_o because_o they_o will_v not_o only_o be_v of_o use_n to_o i_o hereafter_o but_o do_v at_o present_a in_o great_a measure_n supercede_v what_o i_o shall_v else_o have_v say_v to_o his_o history_n for_o it_o be_v perfect_o indifferent_a to_o i_o whether_o queen_n elizabeth_n do_v assist_v the_o french_a and_o scotish_n protestant_n or_o no_o since_o by_o his_o first_o position_n he_o grant_v she_o may_v have_v serve_v herself_o of_o the_o treachery_n and_o revolt_n of_o other_o prince_n subject_n for_o it_o be_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o the_o action_n and_o not_o the_o fact_n itself_o that_o be_v the_o great_a point_n in_o question_n and_o since_o he_o allow_v she_o may_v have_v assist_v they_o though_o they_o have_v be_v rebel_n we_o will_v never_o quarrel_v about_o it_o whether_o they_o be_v so_o or_o no._n for_o true_o the_o person_n of_o quality_n be_v very_o well_o please_v that_o he_o have_v so_o learned_a a_o author_n of_o his_o side_n that_o prove_v all_o he_o desire_n shall_v be_v assert_v in_o the_o point_n for_o since_o he_o will_v allow_v the_o french_a protestant_n be_v not_o rebel_n because_o they_o have_v the_o law_n of_o their_o side_n nor_o be_v the_o netherlands_o guilty_a of_o rebellion_n against_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n because_o he_o first_o act_v contrary_a to_o the_o laetus_n introitus_fw-la 33._o and_o disengage_v they_o from_o their_o obedience_n when_o he_o have_v break_v the_o condition_n of_o it_o if_o he_o will_v but_o please_v to_o be_v as_o gracious_a to_o his_o own_o countryman_n and_o allow_v they_o the_o benefit_n of_o their_o own_o law_n and_o suffer_v the_o oath_n of_o prince_n to_o be_v as_o bind_v in_o england_n as_o it_o seem_v they_o then_o be_v in_o spain_n i_o know_v no_o body_n that_o will_v desire_v any_o more_o of_o he_o nay_o i_o will_v go_v far_o than_o this_o for_o if_o he_o can_v name_v any_o one_o person_n that_o be_v a_o rebel_n to_o king_n james_n after_o the_o allowance_n above_o be_v grant_v he_o rather_o than_o he_o shall_v go_v unpunished_a i_o think_v i_o shall_v be_v his_o executioner_n for_o i_o hate_v those_o that_o rebel_n against_o and_o break_v the_o law_n as_o much_o as_o the_o author_n can_v do_v and_o since_o rebellion_n be_v so_o horrid_a a_o sin_n i_o will_v not_o have_v england_n to_o have_v the_o enclosure_n of_o it_o but_o only_o desire_v that_o we_o may_v be_v allow_v to_o fight_v for_o our_o law_n and_o liberty_n as_o other_o nation_n do_v without_o be_v think_v rebel_n for_o so_o do_v but_o if_o our_o author_n will_v not_o allow_v we_o the_o same_o privilege_n he_o give_v to_o all_o the_o world_n beside_o there_o will_v be_v some_o reason_n to_o suspect_v that_o he_o design_v we_o the_o monopoly_n of_o that_o he_o so_o exclaim_v against_o and_o be_v so_o particular_o kind_a to_o his_o own_o country_n as_o sometime_o to_o lay_v they_o under_o the_o unhappy_a necessity_n of_o be_v either_o rebel_n or_o slave_n and_o i_o have_v something_o the_o more_o reason_n to_o fear_v this_o because_o i_o find_v he_o be_v not_o so_o solicitous_a to_o clear_v the_o scot_n from_o the_o imputation_n of_o rebel_n as_o he_o be_v the_o french_a and_o dutch._n but_o let_v they_o be_v what_o they_o will_v you_o see_v it_o be_v evident_a queen_n elizabeth_n do_v not_o assist_v they_o she_o only_o furnish_v they_o with_o man_n money_n and_o ammunition_n and_o when_o the_o queen_n of_o scot_n come_v and_o fling_v herself_o into_o her_o protection_n and_o implore_v her_o aid_n for_o restore_v she_o to_o her_o crown_n she_o then_o assert_v her_o cause_n with_o a_o witness_n for_o have_v that_o unhappy_a princess_n trust_v to_o the_o mercy_n of_o her_o subject_n as_o great_a rebel_n as_o they_o be_v i_o be_o sure_a they_o can_v not_o have_v treat_v she_o worse_o than_o she_o be_v use_v by_o that_o queen_n who_o our_o author_n tell_v we_o always_o declare_v against_o any_o protection_n of_o subject_n in_o their_o resistance_n which_o she_o always_o call_v rebellion_n but_o i_o suppose_v prince_n be_v no_o more_o oblige_v to_o speak_v truth_n than_o they_o be_v tie_v to_o do_v justice_n for_o which_o our_o author_n give_v they_o a_o dispensation_n before_o but_o i_o think_v it_o now_o time_n to_o proceed_v to_o the_o 2d_o thing_n he_o undertake_v to_o prove_v which_o be_v that_o it_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n at_o that_o time_n that_o it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o subject_n to_o resist_v and_o that_o therefore_o our_o divine_n justify_v the_o french_a and_o dutch_a no_o otherwise_o than_o upon_o principle_n which_o be_v consistent_a with_o this_o doctrine_n and_o true_o if_o our_o author_n hold_v in_o the_o same_o mind_n he_o be_v when_o he_o promise_v the_o two_o position_n before_o enlarge_v on_o and_o acquit_v the_o french_a from_o rebellion_n because_o they_o have_v the_o law_n of_o their_o side_n and_o the_o dutch_a because_o their_o king_n have_v forfeit_v his_o right_n to_o their_o obedience_n by_o break_v his_o part_n of_o the_o pact_n and_o stipulation_n between_o they_o i_o do_v not_o see_v but_o he_o and_o i_o shall_v agree_v in_o this_o as_o well_o as_o the_o divine_n of_o this_o age_n do_v with_o those_o in_o queen_n elizabeth_n day_n for_o i_o suppose_v the_o convocation_n at_o that_o time_n do_v approve_v of_o bishop_n bilson_n his_o sentiment_n as_o to_o that_o matter_n for_o the_o author_n tell_v we_o the_o book_n be_v peruse_v and_o allow_v by_o public_a authority_n and_o also_o dedicate_v to_o the_o queen_n so_o that_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v that_o which_o they_o be_v all_o willing_a to_o stand_v by_o and_o i_o hearty_o wish_v that_o all_o our_o bishop_n will_v do_v so_o too_o and_o make_v that_o very_a passage_n he_o cite_v out_o of_o bishop_n bilson_n the_o judge_n of_o the_o controversy_n for_o than_o i_o think_v it_o will_v be_v pretty_a soon_o decide_v and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v transcribe_v the_o place_n in_o the_o very_a same_o word_n he_o have_v do_v page_n 33._o in_o france_n the_o king_n of_o navarre_n and_o the_o prince_n of_o conde_n may_v lawful_o defend_v themselves_o from_o injustice_n and_o violence_n and_o be_v aid_v by_o other_o prince_n their_o neighbour_n if_o the_o king_n as_o too_o mighty_a for_o they_o seek_v to_o oppress_v they_o to_o who_o they_o owe_v not_o simple_a subjection_n but_o respective_a homage_n as_o scotland_n do_v to_o england_n and_o normandy_n to_o france_n when_o the_o king_n notwithstanding_o have_v bitter_a war_n each_o with_o other_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o noble_n that_o do_v assist_v they_o if_o it_o be_v the_o king_n act_n that_o do_v oppress_v they_o and_o not_o the_o guise_n except_o the_o law_n do_v permit_v they_o mean_n to_o save_v the_o state_n from_o open_a tyranny_n i_o will_v not_o excuse_v and_o yet_o the_o circumstance_n must_v be_v full_o know_v before_o the_o fact_n can_v be_v right_o discern_v with_o which_o i_o confess_v i_o be_o not_o so_o exact_o acquaint_v now_o in_o this_o passage_n here_o be_v three_o several_a thing_n observable_a first_o he_o absolute_o acquit_v the_o king_n of_o navarre_n and_o prince_n of_o conde_n but_o their_o associate_n only_o upon_o supposition_n that_o the_o law_n permit_v they_o to_o oppose_v the_o king_n tyranny_n but_o the_o guise_n oppression_n they_o may_v without_o law_n but_o although_o the_o bishop_n say_v he_o will_v not_o excuse_v those_o that_o resist_v the_o king_n without_o law_n yet_o it_o be_v pretty_a remarkable_a that_o he_o seem_v to_o suppose_v that_o even_o in_o such_o a_o case_n there_o may_v be_v circumstance_n which_o may_v render_v they_o excusable_a and_o which_o ought_v to_o be_v full_o know_v before_o the_o fact_n can_v be_v discern_v and_o therefore_o he_o do_v forbear_v pass_v his_o judgement_n on_o they_o because_o he_o be_v not_o thorough_o acquaint_v with_o the_o circumstance_n and_o now_o be_v all_o our_o divine_n of_o this_o good_a bishop_n faith_n in_o this_o point_n or_o at_o least_o have_v they_o but_o his_o charity_n and_o will_v not_o condemn_v their_o brethren_n before_o they_o understand_v the_o cause_n they_o will_v certain_o understand_v one_o another_o a_o little_a better_o than_o they_o do_v or_o however_o there_o will_v be_v no_o division_n nor_o schism_n about_o it_o which_o god_n grant_v they_o do_v not_o now_o make_v in_o the_o
