or_o doctor_n in_o physic_n which_o jolly_a comparison_n be_v use_v by_o such_o writer_n as_o maintain_v the_o contrary_a proposition_n i_o leave_v it_o also_o to_o the_o reader_n discretion_n and_o in_o case_n any_o doubt_n may_v arise_v in_o any_o part_n of_o this_o treatise_n i_o will_v according_a to_o my_o promise_n with_o the_o solution_n of_o four_o principal_a and_o most_o weighty_a doubt_n that_o the_o adversary_n may_v object_v conclude_v this_o discourse_n and_o first_o it_o be_v casten_z up_o by_o diverse_a that_o employ_v their_o pen_n upon_o apology_n for_o rebellion_n and_o treason_n that_o every_o man_n be_v bear_v to_o carry_v such_o a_o natural_a zeal_n and_o duty_n to_o his_o commonwealth_n as_o to_o his_o mother_n that_o see_v it_o so_o rend_a and_o deadly_a wound_v as_o while_o it_o will_v be_v by_o wicked_a and_o tyrannous_a king_n good_a citizen_n will_v be_v force_v for_o the_o natural_a zeal_n and_o duty_n they_o owe_v to_o their_o own_o native_a country_n to_o put_v their_o hand_n to_o work_v for_o free_v their_o commonwealth_n from_o such_o a_o pest_n whereunto_o i_o give_v two_o answer_n first_o it_o be_v a_o sure_a axiom_n in_o theology_n that_o evil_o shall_v not_o be_v do_v that_o good_a may_v come_v of_o it_o the_o wickedness_n therefore_o of_o the_o king_n can_v never_o make_v they_o that_o be_v ordain_v to_o be_v judge_v by_o he_o to_o become_v his_o judge_n and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o a_o private_a man_n to_o revenge_v his_o private_a injury_n upon_o his_o private_a adversary_n since_o god_n have_v only_o give_v the_o sword_n to_o the_o magistrate_n how_o much_o less_o be_v it_o lawful_a to_o the_o people_n or_o any_o part_n of_o they_o who_o all_o be_v but_o private_a man_n the_o authority_n be_v always_o with_o the_o magistrate_n as_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v to_o take_v upon_o they_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sword_n who_o to_o it_o belong_v not_o against_o the_o public_a magistrate_n who_o to_o only_o it_o belong_v next_o in_o place_n of_o relieve_n the_o commonwealth_n out_o of_o distress_n which_o be_v their_o only_a excuse_n and_o colour_n they_o shall_v heap_v double_a distress_n and_o desolation_n upon_o it_o and_o so_o their_o rebellion_n shall_v procure_v the_o contrary_a effect_n that_o they_o pretend_v it_o for_o for_o a_o king_n can_v be_v imagine_v to_o be_v so_o unruly_a and_o tyrannous_a but_o the_o commonwealth_n will_v be_v keep_v in_o better_a order_n notwithstanding_o thereof_o by_o he_o than_o it_o can_v be_v by_o his_o way-taking_a for_o first_o all_o sudden_a mutation_n be_v perilous_a in_o commonwealth_n hope_v be_v thereby_o give_v to_o all_o bare_a man_n to_o set_v up_o themselves_o and_o fly_v with_o other_o man_n feather_n the_o reins_n be_v loose_v to_o all_o the_o insolence_n that_o disorder_a people_n can_v commit_v by_o hope_n of_o impunity_n because_o of_o the_o looseness_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o next_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o a_o king_n can_v never_o be_v so_o monstrous_o vicious_a but_o he_o will_v general_o favour_v justice_n and_o maintain_v some_o order_n except_o in_o the_o particular_n wherein_o his_o inordinate_a lust_n and_o passion_n carry_v he_o away_o where_o by_o the_o contrary_a no_o king_n be_v nothing_o be_v unlawful_a to_o none_o and_o so_o the_o old_a opinion_n of_o the_o philosopher_n prove_v true_a that_o better_a it_o be_v to_o live_v in_o a_o commonwealth_n where_o nothing_o be_v lawful_a then_o where_o all_o thing_n be_v lawful_a to_o all_o man_n the_o commonwealth_n at_o that_o time_n resemble_v a_o undaunted_a young_a horse_n that_o have_v casten_z his_o rider_n for_o as_o the_o divine_a poet_n dv_o bartas_n say_v better_o it_o be_v to_o suffer_v some_o disorder_n in_o the_o estate_n and_o some_o spot_n in_o the_o commonwealth_n then_o in_o pretend_v to_o reform_v utter_o to_o overthrow_v the_o republic_n the_o second_o objection_n they_o ground_n upon_o the_o curse_n that_o hang_v over_o the_o commonwealth_n where_o a_o wicked_a king_n reign_v and_o say_v they_o there_o can_v be_v a_o more_o acceptable_a deed_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n nor_o more_o dutiful_a to_o their_o commonweal_n then_o to_o free_v the_o country_n of_o such_o a_o curse_n and_o vindicate_v to_o they_o their_o liberty_n which_o be_v natural_a to_o all_o creature_n to_o crave_v whereunto_o for_o answer_v i_o grant_v indeed_o that_o a_o wicked_a king_n be_v send_v by_o god_n for_o a_o curse_n to_o his_o people_n and_o a_o plague_n for_o their_o sin_n but_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o they_o to_o shake_v off_o that_o curse_n at_o their_o own_o hand_n which_o god_n have_v lay_v on_o they_o that_o i_o deny_v and_o may_v so_o do_v just_o will_v any_o deny_v that_o the_o king_n of_o babel_n be_v a_o curse_n to_o the_o people_n of_o god_n as_o be_v plain_o fore-spoken_a and_o threaten_a unto_o they_o in_o the_o prophecy_n of_o their_o captivity_n and_o what_o be_v nero_n to_o the_o christian_a church_n in_o his_o time_n and_o yet_o jeremy_n and_o paul_n as_o you_o have_v else_o hear_v command_v they_o not_o only_o to_o obey_v they_o but_o hearty_o to_o pray_v for_o their_o welfare_n it_o be_v certain_a then_o as_o i_o have_v already_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n sufficient_o prove_v that_o patience_n earnest_a prayer_n to_o god_n and_o amendment_n of_o their_o life_n be_v the_o only_a lawful_a mean_n to_o move_v god_n to_o relieve_v they_o of_o that_o heavy_a curse_n as_o for_o vindicate_v to_o themselves_o their_o own_o liberty_n what_o lawful_a power_n have_v they_o to_o revoke_v to_o themselves_o again_o those_o privilege_n which_o by_o their_o own_o consent_n before_o be_v so_o full_o put_v out_o of_o their_o hand_n for_o if_o a_o prince_n can_v just_o bring_v back_o again_o to_o himself_o the_o privilege_n once_o bestow_v by_o he_o or_o his_o predecessor_n upon_o any_o state_n or_o rank_n of_o his_o subject_n how_o much_o less_o may_v the_o subject_n reave_v out_o of_o the_o princess_n hand_n that_o superiority_n which_o he_o and_o his_o predecessor_n have_v so_o long_o brook_v over_o they_o but_o the_o unhappy_a iniquity_n of_o the_o time_n which_o have_v oft_o time_n give_v over_o good_a success_n to_o their_o treasonable_a attempt_n furnish_v they_o the_o ground_n of_o their_o three_o objection_n for_o say_v they_o the_o fortunate_a success_n that_o god_n have_v so_o oft_o give_v to_o such_o enterprise_n proove_v plain_o by_o the_o practice_n that_o god_n favour_v the_o justness_n of_o their_o quarrel_n to_o the_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o all_o the_o success_n of_o battle_n as_o well_o as_o other_o worldly_a thing_n lie_v only_o in_o god_n hand_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o in_o the_o scripture_n he_o take_v to_o himself_o the_o style_n of_o god_n of_o host_n but_o upon_o that_o general_a to_o conclude_v that_o he_o ever_o give_v victory_n to_o the_o just_a quarrel_n will_v prove_v the_o philistines_n and_o diverse_a other_o neighbour_n enemy_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n to_o have_v oft_o time_n have_v the_o just_a quarrel_n against_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o many_o victory_n they_o obtain_v against_o they_o and_o by_o that_o same_o argument_n they_o have_v also_o just_a quarrel_n against_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n for_o they_o win_v it_o in_o the_o field_n and_o keep_v it_o long_o prisoner_n in_o their_o country_n as_o likewise_o by_o all_o good_a writer_n as_o well_o theologue_n as_o other_o the_o duel_n and_o singular_a combat_n be_v disallow_v which_o be_v only_o make_v upon_o pretence_n that_o god_n will_v kiss_v thereby_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o quarrel_n for_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o the_o innocent_a party_n be_v not_o innocent_a before_o god_n and_o therefore_o god_n will_v make_v oft_o time_n they_o that_o have_v the_o wrong_a side_n revenge_v just_o his_o quarrel_n and_o when_o he_o have_v do_v cast_v his_o scourge_n in_o the_o fire_n as_o he_o oft_o time_n do_v to_o his_o own_o people_n stir_v up_o and_o strengthen_v their_o enemy_n while_o they_o be_v humble_v in_o his_o sight_n and_o then_o deliver_v they_o in_o their_o hand_n so_o god_n as_o the_o great_a judge_n may_v just_o punish_v his_o deputy_n and_o for_o his_o rebellion_n against_o he_o stir_v up_o his_o rebel_n to_o meet_v he_o with_o the_o like_a and_o when_o it_o be_v do_v the_o part_n of_o the_o instrument_n be_v no_o better_a than_o the_o devil_n part_n be_v in_o tempt_a and_o torture_v such_o as_o god_n commit_v to_o he_o as_o his_o hangman_n to_o do_v therefore_o as_o i_o say_v in_o the_o beginning_n it_o be_v oft_o time_n a_o very_a deceivable_a argument_n to_o judge_v of_o the_o cause_n by_o the_o event_n and_o the_o last_o objection_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o mutual_a paction_n
