A45518	The nations claim of native right Wherein the gross and extreme defection and injustice of the court martial, and of all courts; the destructive abuse of the law, and pressing necessity, that the nation speedily unite (as one man) for an agreement in righteousness, is by particular example, and an appeal to the general councel of the army, and by several considerations cleerly demonstrated and proved. Secondly, the nullity of order, matter, and form of a free people is asserted, and proved by scripture: and how (to persons, families, people, and churches) right order, matter, and form may be attained. Thirdly, a brief pourtraict of a right government of the nation, and agreement of the people; and how such government and agreement may be with ease attained; a new representative freely elected: the laws rectified: the poor relieved: and the peoples, and armies, and every particular persons just interests (in peace with truth) satisfied, is proposed to the nation.

was done to him and not redressed was done only to him and his private family yet all Israel was gathered together as one man unto the Lord at Mispeh and sent men throughout the Tribe of Benjamine to convince it and to be convinced what that wrong was and to redress it and to move Benjamine to joyn with them unto the Lord for redress of it But that Tribe harkned not and was therefore destroyed 600 excepted man woman and child with their cattel and their Cities were fired and God owned that Action The wrong done to the Levites family was vile and wicked yet in it self a private wrong but in Benjamine that did not redress it a Nation sin derived upon it by that Tribe from one wrong done to one single private family Nation sins properly are these wrongs trespassesr or sins that are committed by or against the major part of a Nation There were Egypts sins for which God judged that Nation Israels sins for which that People perished by Sword Famine and captivity Babels sins for which that Kingdom was translated And these are this Nations sins which will destroy it if the people of it do not vigorously stir up and call upon one another to joyn as one man to redress all wrongs and to satisfie all just Interests They that stir up and provoke the people and their Trustees to do Justice equal and impartial are looked upon as Disturbers and Traytors but they indeed ●upport the Nation and to that end must persevere in the same faithful discharge of their duties to God the Nation and themselves if they fail the Nation falls Sins political and universal are of like nature for which many Cities were and the world in a Type was and shall be in the anti-type destroyed If the Nation or part of it or the people whether few or many shall stir up one another to joyn as one man to pursue the Peace of the Nation by an Agreement in Righteousness to free themselves and it from their Nation sins All such so joyning shall be gethered together unto the Lord the Rock of their and this Nations deliverance as all Israel was gathered together as one man unto the Lord at Mispeh All Israel that were not gathered together with Israel as one man unto the Lord at Mispeh to free themselves and Nation from their Nation sin to wit the inhabitants of Jaoesh Gillead were all men women and children except 400 utterly destroyed So all in this Nation that shall not stir up and call upon the people and upon one another to joyn in an Agreement in Righteousness for the paace of the Nation and to free it and themselves from their Nation sins shall therein divide and scatter themselves from the Lord the rock of their and this Nations deliverance and be more guilty of and lyable to their own utter ruin and destruction then the men of Jabesh Gillead were because there can be no compare betwixt a Nation sin derived from a private family and a Nation sin derived from a Nation It is likewise just with God and men That all they of the Nation that sit still as the men of Jabesh Gillead did or that hinder the Nations deliverance from their and its sins and destruction that call not upon the people to joyn unto the Lord as one man in order to these ends or hinder others from calling upon them of that shall harden their hearts that are called upon That they that will not help forward but hinder Redress of wrongs and satisfaction of just Interests that will not help forward or shall hinder the causing of a new Representative and that will not help forward or that shall hinder an Agreement of the Nation in Righteousness should answer and satisfie for these wrongs and damages that bloud shed and these outrages and barbarous cruelties which are caused by their oppositions and obstructions in these relations All Israel fled and fell twice before Benjamine and Benjamine slew 40000 of them and the reason of it is conceived was Because Israel was not so circumspect and diligent to discharge all faithfulness of duty to one another in exciting and calling upon one another and because they did not excite and call upon the men of Jabesh Gillead to hearken and to joyn with them as one man unto the Lord to free their Nation and themselves from their Nation sin Fourthly That joynt endeavours of Agreement be made with ●ll wisdom of meekness and faithfulness the Reasons are 1 Because wisdom without meekness is but appearence without substance 2 Because there is not nor can be any effectual means of this Nations deliverance but by Addresses in wisdom with meekness 3 Because Gods Message unto Pharoah was meek and when neither the cryes of Israel nor the endeavours of their Elders nor Aarons eloquence could deliver them Moses sent with a meek Message did deliver them and left not a hoof behind him of all that appertained unto Israel 4 Because as Nadab and Abihu that offered strange fire we●● destroyed by fire from Heaven so all wisdom of zeal without sobriety and meekness hinders our deliverance and as strange fire which God accepts not destroyes those that endeavour it 〈◊〉 such means 5 Moses Gods Messenger was faithful according to th● command of God in all his house and delivered no Message t● Pharoah and his servants nor to the Israelites but what God commanded He did all possible good to the Egyptians and purchased their deliverance from many grievous plagues which the● brought upon themselves neither did he nor the Israelites la● their hands upon the life of Pharoah or of any of his servants except when violently assayled wherein the Law of Nature a●● all Laws of God and Nations require present resistance And i● this case only when an Egyptian

They lay 〈◊〉 their hands upon the life of any Egyptian or other by wrong● or oppressing them in word or in deed neither do they unjustly assayl or resist any except when they or any other are violently and unjustly assayled and in this God commands them ● make what they can for their own safety present resistance that is All Laws of nature God and
