distinguish_n to_o no_o purpose_n at_o all_o and_o on_o pretence_n of_o true_o state_v confound_v the_o question_n and_o run_v from_o it_o which_o be_v blunder_a with_o a_o witness_n have_v the_o convocation_n any_o thing_n to_o do_v with_o his_o distinction_n when_o they_o call_v the_o roman_a governor_n the_o lawful_a magistrate_n of_o the_o jew_n do_v they_o mean_v lawful_a by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o this_o i_o have_v before_o mention_v 3._o postscript_n p._n 3._o and_o he_o will_v not_o direct_o answer_v but_o hide_v himself_o under_o distinction_n and_o tell_v we_o fine_a thing_n of_o a_o state_n of_o nature_n when_o all_o man_n be_v free_a and_o may_v dispose_v of_o themselves_o as_o they_o will_v and_o of_o conquest_n and_o a_o prevail_a force_n when_o they_o have_v the_o same_o liberty_n as_o in_o a_o state_n of_o nature_n and_o what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o a_o king_n by_o providence_n and_o to_o the_o convocation_n book_n if_o the_o doctor_n have_v a_o mind_n to_o put_v the_o matter_n upon_o that_o issue_n let_v he_o give_v his_o reason_n and_o i_o will_v submit_v to_o they_o or_o answer_v they_o but_o for_o my_o part_n i_o love_v to_o end_v one_o controversy_n before_o i_o begin_v another_o and_o do_v not_o much_o care_n to_o be_v draw_v from_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n by_o impertinent_a distinction_n which_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n well!_o but_o the_o doctor_n tell_v we_o that_o legal_a as_o it_o respect_v the_o law_n and_o constitution_n of_o a_o particular_a nation_n or_o kingdom_n be_v understand_v by_o all_o man_n who_o understand_v themselves_o in_o this_o controversy_n of_o legal_a power_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o distinction_n between_o a_o king_n de_fw-fr jure_fw-la and_o a_o king_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la a_o king_n de_fw-fr jure_fw-la be_v a_o rightful_a king_n by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n a_o king_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la whatever_a right_o he_o may_v have_v be_v not_o rightful_o and_o lawful_o possess_v of_o the_o crown_n by_o the_o law_n of_o succession_n proper_a to_o that_o kingdom_n and_o this_o say_v he_o be_v all_o the_o mystery_n i_o intend_v that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o doctor_n have_v write_v two_o book_n to_o prove_v that_o a_o person_n who_o be_v not_o next_o heir_n may_v be_v king_n and_o have_v god_n authority_n a_o wonderful_a discovery_n i_o have_v tell_v he_o so_o over_o and_o over_o and_o show_v he_o in_o what_o case_n when_o a_o right_o be_v acquire_v by_o death_n session_n or_o prescription_n but_o this_o it_o seem_v be_v blunder_a ambiguous_a and_o a_o man_n do_v not_o understand_v himself_o but_o to_o say_v that_o the_o same_o thing_n be_v by_o the_o consent_n and_o submission_n of_o the_o people_n this_o be_v very_o clear_a and_o distinct_a and_o the_o doctor_n understand_v himself_o though_o no_o body_n else_o except_o some_o commonwealth_n man_n be_v able_a to_o understand_v it_o but_o this_o be_v nothing_o but_o shift_v the_o question_n and_o the_o doctor_n i_o will_v warrant_v you_o do_v not_o understand_v the_o force_n of_o my_o argument_n and_o yet_o he_o tell_v we_o here_o let_v we_o see_v what_o legal_a right_n and_o title_n our_o author_n have_v find_v for_o the_o king_n of_o the_o aramite_n and_o the_o moabite_n and_o for_o the_o four_o monarchy_n and_o that_o be_v the_o submission_n both_o of_o prince_n and_o people_n very_o well_o and_o why_o do_v not_o he_o give_v a_o direct_a answer_n to_o that_o do_v the_o submission_n of_o the_o prince_n and_o people_n make_v such_o a_o government_n a_o legal_a government_n and_o no_o usurpation_n and_o the_o next_o question_n be_v have_v not_o the_o aramite_n moabite_n babylonian_n and_o all_o the_o government_n the_o convocation_n justify_v obedience_n to_o such_o a_o consent_n and_o submission_n and_o if_o they_o have_v then_o they_o be_v legal_a king_n and_o not_o usurper_n and_o this_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o my_o answer_n and_o to_o which_o i_o have_v add_v for_o confirmation_n that_o the_o convocation_n mention_n but_o two_o usurper_n athaliah_n and_o antiochus_n and_o justify_v the_o resistance_n of_o they_o both_o and_o what_o do_v the_o doctor_n say_v to_o this_o why_o first_o of_o all_o i_o be_o a_o bold_a undertaker_n second_o it_o be_v blunder_a and_o ambiguous_a and_o last_o of_o all_o there_o be_v several_a sense_n of_o legal_a and_o if_o there_o be_v as_o many_o hundred_o senec_n of_o legal_a what_o be_v that_o to_o the_o purpose_n i_o use_v it_o but_o in_o one_o sense_n and_o that_o be_v in_o opposition_n to_o usurpation_n and_o so_o all_o man_n else_o use_v it_o in_o the_o dispute_n between_o legal_a and_o usurp_a power_n whether_o the_o doctor_n think_v they_o understand_v themselves_o or_o no._n but_o here_o be_v a_o tender_a point_n the_o doctor_n can_v deny_v it_o and_o yet_o be_v unwilling_a to_o own_v it_o it_o will_v be_v ridiculous_a for_o a_o man_n that_o talk_v so_o much_o of_o the_o consent_n and_o submission_n of_o the_o people_n to_o deny_v that_o the_o submission_n of_o the_o prince_n and_o people_n together_o do_v not_o transfer_v a_o right_n to_o the_o government_n and_o if_o he_o shall_v own_v it_o than_o he_o must_v own_v likewise_o that_o all_o the_o government_n the_o convocation_n require_v obedience_n to_o have_v acquire_v such_o a_o right_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v far_o better_a to_o make_v distinction_n and_o ask_v question_n to_o obscure_v the_o business_n than_o to_o bring_v the_o plain_a matter_n in_o controversy_n on_o foot_n by_o a_o direct_a and_o categorical_a answer_n but_o the_o doctor_n tell_v i_o such_o legal_a right_n as_o i_o have_v find_v for_o these_o prince_n will_v quick_o transubstantiate_v all_o usurp_v power_n into_o legal_a government_n 10._o p._n 10._o not_o all_o sure_a for_o i_o express_o limit_v it_o to_o the_o acquisition_n of_o right_n by_o the_o death_n or_o session_n of_o the_o right_a heir_n and_o by_o prescription_n and_o if_o the_o doctor_n please_v i_o except_v one_o and_o he_o may_v prove_v it_o if_o he_o can_v that_o be_v a_o government_n by_o the_o consent_n and_o submission_n of_o the_o people_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o actual_a claim_n and_o pretence_n of_o a_o undoubted_a rightful_a king_n which_o be_v as_o direct_o contrary_a to_o the_o right_n i_o have_v mention_v as_o the_o doctor_n be_v through_o settlement_n be_v to_o that_o of_o the_o convocation_n in_o answer_n to_o the_o doctor_n be_v say_v that_o the_o king_n of_o the_o aramite_n and_o moabite_n can_v have_v no_o legal_a right_n to_o the_o government_n of_o israel_n i_o have_v say_v they_o have_v a_o legal_a right_n if_o the_o submission_n of_o the_o prince_n can_v transfer_v a_o legal_a right_n which_o the_o doctor_n say_v it_o may_v be_v think_v to_o do_v 12._o p._n 12._o now_o the_o doctor_n tell_v we_o all_o the_o mystery_n he_o intend_v be_v that_o that_o can_v not_o be_v according_a to_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o jewish_a commonwealth_n etc._n etc._n and_o what_o then_o can_v it_o not_o be_v by_o the_o submission_n of_o the_o governor_n and_o people_n that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o i_o assert_v and_o which_o the_o doctor_n be_v to_o disprove_v but_o to_o this_o i_o make_v a_o objection_n 3._o postscript_n p._n 3._o if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n be_v at_o that_o time_n their_o sovereign_n and_o he_o do_v not_o submit_v it_o be_v true_a he_o do_v not_o but_o the_o text_n say_v express_o that_o god_n deliver_v they_o into_o their_o hand_n this_o the_o doctor_n say_v make_v he_o smile_v for_o i_o have_v start_v a_o objection_n which_o i_o know_v not_o what_o to_o do_v with_o and_o the_o answer_n be_v as_o extravagant_a as_o the_o objection_n for_o say_v he_o he_o have_v find_v out_o something_o which_o he_o think_v equivalent_a to_o god_n submission_n to_o the_o aramite_n and_o moabite_n and_o that_o be_v that_o god_n have_v deliver_v they_o into_o their_o hand_n what_o then_o do_v god_n resign_v his_o government_n of_o israel_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o aramite_n and_o moabite_n and_o quit_v his_o right_n and_o claim_v to_o the_o government_n of_o they_o spectatum_fw-la admissi_fw-la let_v the_o doctor_n be_v friend_n smile_v as_o well_o as_o himself_o now_o i_o do_v not_o know_v what_o force_n there_o may_v be_v in_o smile_v but_o i_o have_v see_v that_o use_v when_o man_n have_v nothing_o to_o answer_v and_o whether_o that_o be_v the_o case_n i_o shall_v refer_v to_o the_o reader_n and_o here_o i_o shall_v do_v two_o thing_n 1._o i_o shall_v vindicate_v the_o answer_n i_o have_v give_v and_o 2._o consider_v what_o the_o doctor_n offer_v to_o justify_v the_o submission_n and_o subjection_n of_o the_o israelite_n to_o they_o 1._o to_o vindicate_v the_o answer_n and_o the_o first_o thing_n i_o have_v to_o observe_v be_v that_o
