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

church_n but_o whatever_o other_o do_v we_o be_v i_o hope_v sure_a of_o our_o reverend_a author_n for_o he_o have_v prove_v that_o the_o clergy_n in_o q._n elizabeth_n be_v of_o his_o faith_n as_o to_o this_o question_n therefore_o shall_v have_v think_v it_o unnecessary_a to_o have_v say_v any_o thing_n more_o but_o that_o for_o the_o author_n information_n i_o must_v answer_v a_o objection_n or_o two_o about_o david_n who_o example_n though_o so_o much_o recommend_v may_v perhaps_o carry_v we_o far_o and_o give_v great_a liberty_n than_o the_o person_n of_o quality_n ever_o desire_v for_o i_o will_v assure_v you_o defensive_a arm_n will_v at_o any_o time_n content_v he_o 39_o but_o our_o author_n be_v please_v to_o ask_v how_o it_o appear_v david_n take_v up_o defensive_a arm_n for_o the_o homily_n tell_v we_o of_o no_o such_o thing_n but_o i_o can_v tell_v he_o of_o as_o authentic_a a_o book_n that_o do_v nay_o that_o tell_v we_o a_o little_a more_o of_o david_n for_o if_o he_o will_v please_v to_o read_v 1_o sam._n 28._o 2._o and_o 29._o 8._o he_o will_v find_v it_o be_v not_o david_n fault_n that_o he_o do_v not_o use_v offensive_a weapon_n against_o saul_n if_o fight_v against_o he_o be_v to_o be_v call_v so_o for_o if_o we_o may_v believe_v his_o own_o word_n he_o certain_o intend_v that_o as_o you_o may_v see_v 1_o sam._n 28._o and_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v in_o those_o day_n that_o the_o philistine_n gather_v their_o army_n together_o for_o warfare_n to_o fight_v with_o israel_n and_o achish_n say_v anto_n david_n know_v thou_o assure_o that_o thou_o shall_v go_v out_o with_o i_o to_o battle_n thou_o and_o thy_o men._n and_o david_n say_v to_o achish_n sure_o thou_o shall_v know_v what_o thy_o servant_n can_v do_v and_o achish_n say_v to_o david_n therefore_o will_v i_o make_v thou_o keeper_n of_o my_o head_n for_o ever_o and_o in_o pursuance_n of_o this_o we_o find_v david_n and_o his_o man_n attend_v achish_n the_o very_a day_n before_o the_o battle_n as_o his_o particular_a guard_n which_o perhaps_o may_v be_v one_o thing_n that_o disgust_v the_o lord_n of_o the_o philistine_n so_o that_o they_o will_v not_o let_v he_o go_v to_o fight_v with_o they_o and_o achish_a against_o his_o will_n be_v force_v to_o dismiss_v david_n who_o expostulation_n chap._n 29._o 8._o be_v very_o remarkable_a for_o i_o think_v it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o passionate_a thing_n of_o the_o kind_n i_o have_v meet_v with_o and_o david_n say_v unto_o achish_n but_o what_o have_v i_o do_v and_o what_o have_v thou_o find_v in_o thy_o servant_n so_o long_o as_o i_o have_v be_v with_o thou_o unto_o this_o day_n that_o i_o may_v not_o go_v fight_n against_o the_o enemy_n of_o my_o lord_n the_o king_n and_o achish_n be_v force_v to_o command_v he_o a_o second_o time_n for_o you_o see_v he_o dispute_v the_o first_o which_o satisfy_v i_o that_o he_o be_v in_o earnest_n and_o be_v unwilling_a to_o return_v and_o now_o what_o can_v be_v say_v against_o so_o plain_a a_o text_n for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o can_v foresee_v but_o two_o thing_n the_o first_o that_o david_n do_v dissemble_v with_o achish_n and_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o fight_v but_o that_o i_o think_v be_v a_o very_a unworthy_a thought_n for_o david_n have_v be_v a_o very_a base_a and_o ungrateful_a man_n to_o have_v either_o deceive_v or_o betray_v achish_n who_o have_v give_v he_o protection_n and_o be_v so_o true_o kind_a to_o he_o the_o second_o thing_n be_v that_o a_o subject_a may_v listen_v himself_o under_o a_o foreign_a prince_n and_o in_o his_o quarrel_n lawful_o fight_v against_o their_o own_o king_n and_o if_o so_o than_o all_o that_o list_v themselves_o under_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n may_v still_o be_v as_o good_a subject_n to_o king_n james_n as_o david_n at_o that_o time_n be_v to_o saul_n and_o as_o to_o the_o proof_n of_o his_o take_n up_o defensive_a arm_n he_o may_v find_v that_o 1_o sam._n 22._o 2._o and_o every_o one_o that_o be_v in_o distress_n and_o every_o one_o that_o be_v in_o debt_n and_o every_o one_o that_o be_v discontent_v gather_v themselves_o unto_o he_o and_o he_o become_v captain_n over_o they_o and_o here_o be_v as_o formal_a levy_n of_o war_n as_o i_o think_v can_v be_v desire_v and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o to_o defend_v himself_o i_o know_v not_o to_o what_o purpose_v it_o be_v for_o if_o he_o desire_v only_a flight_n he_o may_v have_v do_v that_o safe_a as_o well_o as_o privater_o by_o himself_o than_o with_o a_o army_n nor_o be_v that_o army_n of_o any_o use_n as_o to_o the_o gain_n of_o the_o crown_n after_o saul_n death_n for_o god_n command_v he_o to_o go_v and_o live_v at_o hebron_n where_o the_o man_n of_o judah_n of_o their_o own_o accord_n go_v down_o and_o make_v he_o king_n as_o he_o will_v find_v 2_o sam._n 2._o so_o that_o so_o many_o hundred_o man_n from_o the_o begin_n to_o the_o end_n be_v of_o no_o use_n unless_o it_o be_v to_o defend_v he_o against_o saul_n and_o that_o he_o do_v design_n to_o have_v garrison_v keilah_n but_o that_o god_n tell_v he_o the_o man_n of_o the_o place_n will_v betray_v he_o i_o think_v nothing_o can_v be_v more_o evident_a from_o any_o text_n in_o spite_n of_o all_o the_o author_n comment_n but_o now_o he_o refer_v i_o to_o the_o last_o homily_n against_o rebellion_n as_o i_o do_v he_o to_o the_o second_o 42._o and_o ask_v i_o whether_o king_n john_n subject_n take_v up_o only_o defensive_a arm_n but_o by_o bishop_n bilson_n excellent_a rule_n above_o cite_v neither_o he_o nor_o i_o ought_v to_o judge_v they_o because_o we_o do_v not_o nor_o can_v know_v all_o their_o circumstance_n for_o historian_n be_v seldom_o so_o impartial_a as_o to_o give_v we_o all_o thing_n in_o their_o true_a colour_n but_o the_o design_n of_o that_o homily_n be_v only_o to_o show_v the_o intolerableness_n of_o the_o romish_a yoke_n and_o how_o impossible_a it_o be_v for_o they_o that_o depend_v on_o and_o obey_v the_o pope_n to_o be_v good_a subject_n but_o as_o for_o king_n john_n himself_o he_o have_v be_v as_o great_a a_o traitor_n and_o use_v he_o that_o shall_v have_v be_v his_o sovereign_n as_o ill_o as_o his_o subject_n can_v do_v he_o for_o all_o the_o world_n know_v that_o he_o first_o usurp_v the_o crown_n and_o then_o kill_v prince_n arthur_n that_o be_v the_o true_a heir_n and_o true_o if_o their_o present_a majesty_n will_v have_v pursue_v king_n john_n method_n they_o may_v before_o this_o have_v have_v as_o indisputable_a a_o title_n and_o have_v as_o much_o right_o to_o have_v be_v call_v natural_a sovereign_a lord_n as_o king_n john_n have_v but_o shall_v they_o have_v the_o less_o respect_n and_o be_v the_o worse_o think_v on_o because_o they_o spare_v the_o life_n of_o our_o late_a unfortunate_a king_n and_o suffer_v he_o to_o escape_v when_o he_o be_v in_o their_o power_n nay_o will_v not_o abridge_v he_o of_o his_o liberty_n although_o they_o know_v he_o will_v use_v it_o against_o their_o interest_n if_o this_o be_v the_o quarrel_n that_o the_o clergy_n have_v against_o king_n william_n i_o shall_v admire_v their_o politic_n a_o great_a deal_n more_o than_o their_o divinity_n but_o to_o return_v to_o king_n john_n what_o cause_v our_o ancestor_n may_v have_v to_o repent_v they_o of_o their_o war_n against_o he_o i_o know_v not_o but_o i_o believe_v their_o posterity_n think_v they_o have_v not_o much_o for_o it_o produce_v those_o great_a privilege_n wherein_o the_o english_a subject_n glory_n the_o charter_n obtain_v from_o he_o be_v the_o first_o part_n or_o first_o draught_n if_o you_o please_v of_o the_o famous_a magna_fw-la charta_fw-la confirm_v afterward_o by_o henry_n the_o 3d._n who_o the_o homily_n may_v have_v cite_v as_o well_o as_o king_n john_n if_o it_o have_v be_v the_o subject_n rebellion_n and_o not_o the_o pope_n usurpation_n that_o they_o design_v to_o declaim_v against_o but_o although_o i_o be_o very_o far_o from_o

up_o the_o advantage_n they_o hold_v from_o it_o and_o i_o think_v i_o may_v undertake_v to_o call_v back_o both_o king_n james_n and_o popery_n for_o they_o deceive_v themselves_o that_o think_v
