of_o extremity_n i_o have_v already_o put_v than_o to_o let_v those_o who_o have_v get_v the_o power_n over_o we_o in_o their_o hand_n do_v whatsoever_o they_o please_v with_o it_o to_o our_o ruin_n without_o any_o control_n and_o also_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o consider_v whether_o the_o fear_n of_o such_o resistance_n from_o subject_n when_o thus_o outrage_v and_o oppress_v it_o may_v not_o often_o be_v a_o more_o powerful_a state_n be_v spell_n or_o charm_n as_o you_o call_v it_o to_o keep_v the_o supreme_a power_n in_o their_o duty_n than_o those_o many_o sermon_n and_o other_o discourse_n that_o have_v be_v late_o preach_v and_o publish_v that_o their_o power_n be_v irresistible_a and_o that_o therefore_o all_o their_o subject_n be_v bind_v to_o endure_v whatsoever_o tyranny_n they_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o exercise_v upon_o they_o in_o short_a i_o absolute_o agree_v with_o you_o that_o as_o our_o saviour_n never_o usurp_v any_o civil_a power_n or_o authority_n and_o therefore_o do_v not_o new_a model_n the_o government_n of_o the_o world_n so_o have_v he_o also_o give_v subject_n a_o right_a to_o maintain_v whatsoever_o model_n or_o form_n of_o government_n god_n have_v be_v please_v to_o establish_v among_o they_o when_o they_o be_v in_o danger_n to_o be_v alter_v or_o invade_v either_o by_o a_o domestic_a tyranny_n or_o foreign_a force_n and_o without_o this_o right_n of_o resistance_n for_o you_o to_o tell_v we_o that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v give_v very_o good_a law_n and_o threaten_v those_o that_o break_v they_o with_o eternal_a punishment_n and_o that_o as_o the_o law_n and_o religion_n of_o our_o saviour_n prevail_v that_o so_o the_o government_n of_o the_o world_n will_v mend_v without_o any_o more_o ado_n be_v altogether_o as_o reasonable_a as_o to_o preach_v that_o because_o christ_n have_v give_v we_o good_a law_n and_o threaten_v everlasting_a punishment_n to_o those_o that_o break_v they_o therefore_o they_o be_v sufficient_a to_o keep_v man_n from_o rob_v and_o murder_v their_o neighbour_n and_o that_o all_o man_n give_v up_o their_o natural_a right_n of_o resist_v such_o robber_n and_o defend_v themselves_o against_o they_o shall_v whole_o rely_v upon_o the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o commandment_n against_o steal_v or_o else_o on_o the_o more_o powerful_a motive_n with_o such_o people_n of_o a_o judge_n and_o a_o gallow_n shall_v let_v they_o do_v with_o we_o what_o they_o please_v whenever_o we_o fall_v under_o their_o power_n and_o therefore_o i_o desire_v you_o will_v give_v i_o some_o better_a proof_n that_o our_o saviour_n have_v enjoin_v all_o mankind_n a_o absolute_a subjection_n to_o the_o supreme_a power_n under_o pain_n of_o damnation_n without_o any_o resistance_n in_o any_o case_n whatsoever_o but_o i_o pray_v pardon_v this_o digression_n which_o your_o own_o long_a preface_n extort_a from_o i_o m._n i_o shall_v not_o now_o dispute_v this_o matter_n with_o you_o and_o therefore_o to_o observe_v your_o command_n i_o shall_v begin_v with_o that_o divine_a answer_n of_o our_o saviour_n to_o the_o pharisee_n and_o herodian_o when_o they_o consult_v together_o to_o entangle_v he_o in_o his_o talk_n they_o come_v to_o he_o with_o great_a ceremony_n and_o address_v etc._n say_v master_n we_o know_v that_o thou_o be_v true_a and_o teach_v the_o way_n of_o god_n in_o truth_n neither_o care_v thou_o for_o any_o man_n for_o thou_o regard_v not_o the_o person_n of_o man._n tell_v we_o therefore_o what_o think_v thou_o be_v it_o lawful_a to_o give_v tribute_n to_o caesar_n or_o not_o they_o think_v it_o impossible_a that_o he_o shall_v give_v any_o answer_n to_o this_o which_o will_v not_o make_v he_o obnoxious_a either_o to_o the_o roman_a emperor_n if_o he_o deny_v that_o the_o jew_n may_v lawful_o pay_v tribute_n to_o caesar_n or_o to_o the_o pharisee_n and_o people_n if_o he_o affirm_v that_o they_o may_v for_o there_o be_v a_o very_a potent_a faction_n among_o they_o who_o think_v it_o unlawful_a for_o the_o jew_n to_o own_o the_o authority_n or_o usurpation_n of_o any_o foreign_a prince_n or_o to_o pay_v tribute_n to_o he_o as_o to_o their_o king_n they_o be_v express_o forbid_v by_o the_o law_n 50._o to_o set_v a_o stranger_n over_o they_o for_o their_o king_n who_o be_v not_o their_o brother_n that_o be_v who_o be_v not_o a_o natural_a jew._n and_o it_o seem_v they_o can_v not_o distinguish_v between_o their_o own_o voluntary_a act_n in_o choose_v a_o stranger_n for_o their_o king_n which_o be_v indeed_o forbid_v by_o their_o law_n and_o their_o submit_v to_o a_o foreign_a prince_n when_o they_o be_v conquer_v by_o he_o our_o saviour_n who_o know_v their_o wicked_a intention_n in_o all_o this_o that_o they_o do_v not_o come_v with_o a_o honest_a design_n to_o be_v instruct_v in_o their_o duty_n but_o to_o seek_v a_o advantage_n against_o he_o express_v some_o indignation_n at_o it_o why_o tempt_v you_o i_o you_o hypocrite_n but_o yet_o to_o return_v they_o a_o answer_n to_o their_o question_n he_o bid_v they_o show_v he_o the_o tribute_n money_n that_o be_v the_o money_n in_o which_o they_o use_v to_o pay_v tribute_n and_o inquire_v who_o image_n and_o superscription_n it_o have_v for_o coin_v of_o money_n be_v then_o as_o certain_a a_o mark_n of_o sovereignty_n as_o make_v law_n or_o the_o power_n of_o the_o sword_n well_o they_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o image_n and_o superscription_n on_o the_o tribute-money_n be_v caesar_n upon_o which_o he_o reply_v render_v therefore_o unto_o caesar_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v caesar_n be_v and_o unto_o god_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v go_n the_o plain_a meaning_n of_o which_o answer_n be_v this_o that_o since_o by_o the_o very_a impression_n on_o their_o money_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o caesar_n be_v the_o sovereign_a lord_n they_o must_v render_v unto_o he_o all_o the_o right_n of_o sovereignty_n 13.7_o among_o which_o tribute_n be_v one_o as_o st._n paul_n tell_v we_o render_v therefore_o unto_o all_o their_o due_n tribute_n to_o who_o tribute_n be_v due_a custom_n to_o who_o custom_n fear_v to_o who_o fear_n honour_n to_o who_o honour_n whatever_o then_o be_v due_a to_o sovereign_a prince_n and_o do_v not_o interfere_v with_o their_o duty_n to_o god_n that_o they_o must_v give_v to_o caesar_n who_o at_o this_o time_n be_v their_o sovereign_n and_o though_o our_o saviour_n command_v we_o only_o in_o general_n to_o render_v to_o caesar_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v caesar_n without_o tell_v we_o what_o caesar_n thing_n be_v this_o be_v so_o far_o from_o make_v his_o answer_n ambiguous_a and_o of_o no_o use_n in_o this_o present_a controversy_n that_o it_o suggest_v to_o we_o three_o plain_n and_o natural_a consequence_n which_o be_v sufficient_a to_o end_v this_o whole_a dispute_n first_o that_o our_o saviour_n do_v not_o intend_v to_o make_v any_o alteration_n in_o the_o right_n of_o sovereignty_n but_o what_o right_n he_o find_v sovereign_a prince_n possess_v of_o he_o leave_v they_o in_o the_o quiet_a possession_n of_o for_o have_v he_o intend_v to_o make_v any_o change_n in_o this_o matter_n he_o will_v not_o have_v give_v such_o a_o general_a rule_n to_o render_v to_o caesar_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v caesar_n without_o specify_v what_o these_o thing_n be_v second_o 56._o and_o therefore_o he_o leave_v they_o to_o the_o know_a law_n of_o the_o empire_n to_o determine_v what_o be_v caesar_n right_a what_o ever_o be_v essential_a to_o the_o notion_n of_o sovereign_a power_n whatever_o the_o law_n and_o custom_n of_o nation_n determine_v to_o be_v caesar_n right_a that_o they_o must_v render_v to_o he_o for_o he_o will_v make_v no_o alteration_n in_o this_o matter_n so_o that_o subjection_n to_o prince_n and_o non_fw-fr resistance_n be_v as_o plain_o determine_v by_o our_o saviour_n in_o this_o law_n of_o pay_v tribute_n for_o subjection_n and_o nonresistance_n be_v as_o essential_a a_o right_n of_o sovereign_a power_n and_o as_o inseparable_a from_o the_o notion_n of_o it_o as_o any_o thing_n can_v be_v and_o so_o it_o be_v acknowledge_v by_o the_o law_n and_o custom_n of_o nation_n and_o be_v so_o determine_v by_o the_o apostle_n st._n paul_n as_o i_o shall_v show_v hereafter_o three_o i_o observe_v far_o that_o when_o our_o saviour_n join_v our_o duty_n to_o our_o prince_n with_o our_o duty_n to_o our_o god_n render_v to_o cae●ar_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v caesar_n and_o to_o god_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v god_n he_o except_v nothing_o from_o caesar_n right_a which_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n be_v due_a to_o sovereign_a prince_n but_o what_o be_v a_o violation_n of_o and_o a_o encroachment_n on_o god_n right_a and_o sovereignty_n that_o be_v we_o must_v pay_v all_o that_o obedience_n 57_o and_o subjection_n to_o prince_n which_o be_v consistent_a with_o our_o duty_n to_o god_n this_o be_v the_o only_a

and_o of_o this_o he_o here_o give_v we_o several_a example_n of_o different_a custom_n among_o nation_n in_o make_v war_n upon_o each_o other_o according_a to_o diverse_a form_n or_o tacit_n agreement_n whereby_o war_n may_v be_v manage_v with_o a_o little_a cruelty_n as_o may_v be_v but_o thus_o he_o proceed_v these_o custom_n although_o they_o may_v seem_v to_o contain_v some_o obligation_n as_o arise_v from_o this_o sort_n of_o tacit_fw-la agreement_n among_o nation_n yet_o if_o any_o prince_n shall_v wage_v a_o lawful_a war_n or_o neglect_v they_o or_o shall_v do_v quite_o contrary_a to_o they_o he_o will_v not_o be_v guilty_a of_o any_o sin_n against_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n but_o only_o of_o a_o piece_n of_o roughness_n or_o incivility_n that_o he_o do_v not_o make_v war_n according_a to_o those_o rule_n of_o honour_n which_o be_v use_v among_o they_o by_o who_o war_n be_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o liberal_a art_n and_o a_o little_a far_o proceed_v thus_o among_o the_o principal_a head_n of_o the_o voluntary_a law_n of_o nation_n grotius_n reckon_v the_o right_a of_o ambassador_n where_o we_o also_o suppose_v that_o by_o the_o very_a law_n of_o nature_n ambassador_n be_v inviolable_a even_o with_o the_o enemy_n as_o long_o as_o they_o appear_v ambassador_n and_o not_o spy_n and_o do_v not_o contrive_v plot_n against_o those_o to_o who_o they_o be_v send_v and_o have_v show_v the_o necessity_n of_o ambassador_n in_o order_n to_o peace_n he_o thus_o go_v on_o but_o there_o be_v other_o privilege_n attribute_v to_o ambassador_n especial_o to_o those_o who_o reside_v in_o a_o place_n rather_o to_o fish_v out_o the_o secret_n of_o another_o state_n than_o for_o peace_n sake_n those_o privilege_n depend_v from_o the_o mere_a indulgence_n of_o that_o prince_n to_o who_o they_o be_v send_v and_o so_o if_o it_o seem_v good_a to_o he_o may_v be_v deny_v they_o without_o the_o violation_n of_o any_o right_n if_o he_o will_v likewise_o suffer_v that_o his_o own_o ambassador_n shall_v be_v treat_v in_o a_o like_a manner_n m._n i_o see_v whether_o this_o author_n tend_v but_o do_v not_o understand_v what_o use_v you_o ●an_v make_v of_o it_o to_o your_o purpose_n f._n but_o i_o will_v quick_o show_v you_o if_o you_o please_v to_o have_v a_o little_a patience_n and_o therefore_o to_o apply_v what_o i_o have_v now_o read_v to_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n in_o the_o first_o place_n it_o be_v apparent_a from_o this_o author_n that_o the_o law_n or_o custom_n of_o nation_n have_v no_o obligation_n as_o such_o but_o only_o as_o it_o agree_v with_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o what_o law_n of_o nation_n be_v found_v on_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n can_v only_o be_v try_v by_o some_o rule_n which_o certain_o be_v not_o to_o be_v learn_v from_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o custom_n or_o law_n of_o all_o nation_n since_o who_o be_v able_a to_o know_v they_o all_o and_o therefore_o these_o law_n must_v be_v try_v either_o by_o the_o natural_a light_n of_o a_o man_n be_v own_o conscience_n or_o else_o by_o consider_v whether_o this_o or_o that_o practice_n of_o a_o nation_n conduce_v to_o the_o honour_n or_o service_n of_o god_n or_o the_o common_a good_a and_o happiness_n of_o mankind_n and_o so_o may_v be_v know_v as_o well_o by_o the_o unlearned_a as_o the_o learned_a now_o i_o suppose_v you_o will_v not_o affirm_v that_o this_o law_n of_o the_o absolute_a property_n and_o dominion_n of_o father_n in_o and_o over_o their_o child_n can_v be_v discover_v by_o either_o of_o these_o way_n or_o that_o a_o man_n conscience_n will_v tell_v he_o that_o it_o be_v his_o duty_n to_o let_v his_o father_n kill_v he_o or_o sell_v he_o or_o use_v he_o like_o a_o brute_n without_o any_o contradiction_n or_o resistance_n and_o as_o for_o the_o other_o i_o think_v i_o have_v sufficient_o prove_v that_o this_o absolute_a power_n which_o you_o assert_v of_o father_n over_o their_o child_n do_v not_o proceed_v from_o that_o great_a law_n of_o nature_n viz._n the_o common_a good_a and_o preservation_n of_o mankind_n to_o which_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o may_v prove_v very_o destructive_a which_o if_o prove_v i_o think_v i_o may_v easy_o answer_v all_o that_o you_o have_v now_o say_v about_o the_o particular_a custom_n or_o law_n of_o diverse_a nation_n concern_v this_o matter_n though_o your_o instance_n be_v many_o more_o than_o they_o be_v for_o in_o the_o first_o place_n as_o for_o those_o you_o allege_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n they_o do_v as_o i_o say_v before_o only_o regard_v th●_n municipal_a law_n of_o the_o jew_n those_o of_o the_o roman_n touch_v this_o matter_n do_v only_o concern_v those_o commonwealth_n whilst_o they_o be_v in_o be_v and_o no_o other_o nation_n whatsoever_o and_o for_o this_o opinion_n i_o have_v both_o grotius_n and_o pufendrof_n of_o my_o side_n for_o the_o former_a in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o chapter_n last_o quote_v after_o have_v set_v down_o the_o different_a power_n which_o father_n may_v exercise_v over_o their_o child_n according_a to_o their_o different_a age_n thus_o affirm_v as_o you_o may_v here_o see_v whatsoever_o be_v beyond_o these_o power_n proceed_v only_o from_o a_o voluntary_a law_n which_o be_v different_a in_o diverse_a place_n so_o by_o the_o law_n which_o god_n give_v the_o jew_n the_o power_n of_o the_o father_n over_o his_o son_n or_o daughter_n to_o dissolve_v their_o vow_n be_v not_o perpetual_a but_o only_o endure_v as_o long_o as_o the_o child_n be_v part_n of_o their_o father_n family_n and_o by_o the_o same_o rule_n i_o may_v add_v that_o child_n be_v not_o reckon_v as_o part_v of_o their_o father_n good_n and_o to_o be_v sell_v by_o he_o or_o seize_v upon_o by_o creditor_n for_o his_o debt_n any_o long_o than_o they_o continue_v member_n of_o their_o father_n family_n and_o consequent_o be_v not_o seize_v upon_o as_o his_o son_n but_o servant_n and_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o show_v i_o a_o example_n where_o ever_o among_o the_o jew_n the_o child_n after_o they_o be_v adult_n and_o part_v from_o their_o father_n house_n be_v sell_v or_o seize_v as_o slave_n for_o their_o father_n debt_n and_o as_o for_o the_o roman_n it_o be_v plain_a they_o acknowledge_v their_o patria_fw-la potestas_fw-la to_o be_v in_o use_n among_o they_o neither_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n or_o nation_n but_o only_o from_o their_o own_o civil_a law_n as_o appear_v by_o this_o title_n almost_o at_o the_o very_a beginning_n of_o iustininian_n

or_o nation_n no_o more_o can_v it_o be_v so_o though_o exercise_v among_o never_o so_o many_o other_o nation_n since_o if_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o law_n or_o precept_n of_o nature_n it_o can_v

of_o conquest_n as_o you_o suppose_v much_o less_o refer_v it_o to_o the_o election_n of_o the_o english_a or_o norman_n since_o the_o former_a be_v not_o in_o a_o condition_n to_o make_v any_o far_a

as_o his_o soldier_n and_o vassal●_n and_o it_o be_v not_o likely_a he_o will_v owe_v the_o kingdom_n which_o he_o have_v thus_o acquire_v by_o the_o sword_n to_o their_o vote_n or_o election_n neither_o do_v any_o author_n that_o i_o know_v of_o mention_n any_o election_n before_o his_o coronation_n when_o though_o it_o be_v true_a he_o take_v such_o a_o oath_n as_o you_o mention_v yet_o it_o be_v in_o too_o general_a term_n to_o bind_v he_o to_o any_o observation_n of_o the_o ancient_a english_a law_n much_o less_o to_o preserve_v their_o right_n and_o privilege_n far_o than_o he_o

the_o fundamental_a constitution_n this_o be_v the_o true_a matter_n of_o fact_n without_o any_o disguise_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o answer_v all_o that_o you_o have_v say_v against_o k._n william_n require_v a_o absolute_a hereditary_a right_n to_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n for_o himself_o and_o all_o his_o descendant_n by_o the_o sword_n first_o then_o as_o to_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o

and_o if_o so_o against_o all_o that_o take_v his_o part_n at_o the_o battle_n of_o hastings_n so_o that_o upon_o the_o conquest_n of_o harold_n and_o those_o that_o be_v in_o that_o fight_n he_o also_o acquire_v a_o right_n by_o conquest_n to_o all_o that_o they_o enjoy_v and_o consequent_o have_v a_o right_a to_o harold_n crown_n as_o well_o as_o his_o other_o estate_n as_o also_o to_o the_o

since_o the_o war_n be_v make_v not_o only_o against_o harold_n person_n but_o against_o the_o kingdom_n of_o england_n the_o people_n of_o which_o according_a to_o their_o allegiance_n assist_v he_o

of_o conquest_n alone_o but_o by_o all_o thing_n require_v by_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n to_o create_v a_o full_a and_o absolute_a right_n viz._n a_o long_a uninterrupted_a possession_n and_o the_o
