A52047	A plea for defensive armes, or, A copy of a letter written by Mr. Stephen Marshall to a friend of his in the city, for the necessary vindication of himself and his ministerie, against that altogether groundlesse, most unjust and ungodly aspersion cast upon him by certain malignants in the city, and lately printed at Oxford, in their Mendacium aulicum, otherwise called, Mercurius Aulicus, and sent abroad into other nations to his perpetual infamie in which letter the accusation is fully answered, and together with that, the lawfulnesse of the Parliaments taking up defensive arms is briefly and learnedly asserted and demonstrated, texts of Scripture cleared, all objections to the contrary answered, to the full satisfaction of all those that desire to have their consciences informed in this great controversie.; Plea for defensive armes	Marshall, Stephen, 1594?-1655.	1643 (1643)	Wing M768; ESTC R15835	25,154	32

case_n of_o all_o subject_n in_o all_o kingdom_n to_o be_v alike_o that_o although_o as_o i_o touch_v before_o there_o be_v hardly_o two_o kingdom_n in_o the_o world_n but_o do_v differ_v in_o law_n custom_n and_o constitution_n bound_v the_o king_n authority_n and_o the_o subject_n obedience_n yet_o if_o any_o of_o these_o will_v change_v the_o bound_n of_o his_o authority_n for_o instance_n if_o the_o king_n of_o denmark_n or_o sweden_n or_o polonia_n will_v invade_v the_o liberty_n of_o his_o subject_n and_o make_v himself_o as_o absolute_a not_o only_o as_o the_o king_n of_o england_n
