a_o limitation_n of_o power_n itself_o for_o when_o a_o power_n can_v produce_v no_o potential_a act_n beyond_o such_o limit_n than_o it_o be_v limit_v in_o the_o very_o be_v 3._o act_n exceed_v politic_a and_o legal_a limitation_n be_v not_o legal_a nor_o authoritative_a in_o that_o state_n can_v give_v no_o authority_n to_o the_o instrument_n and_o therefore_o they_o may_v be_v resist_v without_o resistance_n or_o violation_n of_o authority_n whereas_o it_o be_v otherwise_o in_o act_n exceed_v moral_a limitation_n for_o be_v authoritative_a they_o authorize_v the_o instrument_n and_o give_v he_o a_o unresistance_n in_o sum_n limitation_n moral_a and_o civil_a or_o legal_a do_v differ_v in_o three_o main_a particular_n 1._o moral_a since_o it_o be_v no_o politic_a or_o authoritative_a act_n conclus_fw-la 1_o make_v no_o real_a detraction_n either_o in_o power_n or_o exercise_v of_o it_o and_o therefore_o agree_v with_o the_o most_o absolute_a government_n whereas_o legal_a be_v a_o politic_a and_o authoritative_a act_n make_v a_o real_a diminution_n and_o so_o be_v the_o ratio_fw-la formalis_fw-la or_o distinctive_a conceit_n constitute_v limit_v government_n nor_o can_v be_v find_v in_o absolute_a 2._o hence_o exceed_v act_n notwithstanding_o moral_a limitation_n be_v conclus_fw-la 2_o authoritative_a proceed_v from_o god_n ordinance_n and_o challenge_v

compel_a power_n annex_v to_o they_o which_o may_v not_o be_v resist_v but_o in_o legal_a be_v not_o authoritative_a they_o have_v not_o the_o sword_n or_o compel_a power_n annex_v and_o therefore_o may_v be_v resist_v in_o their_o instrument_n i_o will_v illustrate_v all_o this_o by_o a_o familiar_a instance_n in_o our_o government_n a_o judge_n have_v a_o commission_n to_o hear_v and_o determine_v cause_n according_a to_o the_o verdict_n of_o twelve_o man_n here_o be_v a_o power_n limit_v in_o the_o very_o be_v that_o be_v legal_o and_o civil_o this_o judge_n use_v indirect_a mean_n to_o corrupt_v the_o jury_n to_o bring_v in_o a_o unjust_a verdict_n but_o judge_v as_o his_o commission_n bind_v he_o according_a to_o their_o verdict_n here_o be_v a_o moral_a exceed_v yet_o the_o act_n of_o judgement_n be_v authoritative_a because_o according_a to_o his_o commission_n and_o must_v not_o be_v resist_v again_o he_o pass_v sentence_n in_o another_o cause_n express_o against_o the_o verdict_n of_o the_o jury_n in_o a_o arbitrary_a way_n here_o be_v a_o legal_a exceed_v and_o the_o sentence_n be_v non_fw-fr authoritative_a he_o have_v no_o such_o power_n commit_v to_o he_o the_o sentence_n can_v have_v no_o bind_a power_n in_o it_o hereby_o it_o appear_v how_o without_o any_o ground_n of_o truth_n the_o former_a supposal_n be_v sect._n 3_o three_o concern_v the_o cause_n and_o mean_n of_o limitation_n the_o doctor_n supposal_n be_v limitation_n cause_n &_o mean_n of_o limitation_n 1._o that_o radical_a limitation_n that_o be_v of_o the_o power_n itself_o require_v a_o express_a and_o notorious_a act_n it_o must_v be_v do_v in_o the_o beginning_n and_o at_o once_o p._n 15._o 24._o 39_o 2._o that_o a_o prince_n may_v so_o limit_v himself_o as_o not_o to_o require_v to_o be_v active_o subject_v to_o and_o yet_o be_v limit_v only_o in_o the_o exercise_n not_o in_o the_o power_n itself_o p._n 16._o 3._o that_o no_o limitation_n by_o after_o condescent_n be_v of_o the_o power_n itself_o p._n 28._o this_o be_v a_o consequent_a from_o the_o first_o now_o that_o the_o falsehood_n of_o these_o and_o the_o like_a ground_n every_o where_o scatter_v in_o his_o book_n may_v appear_v let_v we_o a_o little_a more_o diligent_o handle_v the_o cause_n and_o mean_n of_o limitation_n which_o as_o before_o limitation_n cause_n of_o moral_a limitation_n be_v twofold_a moral_a and_o civil_a we_o will_v begin_v with_o moral_a 1._o now_o the_o formal_a cause_n of_o a_o mere_a moral_a limitation_n be_v that_o which_o moral_o bound_n or_o make_v sinful_a any_o act_n of_o power_n we_o be_v therefore_o to_o inquire_v what_o it_o be_v which_o can_v do_v that_o and_o this_o be_v 1._o principal_o the_o moral_a law_n of_o god_n forbid_v such_o a_o exercise_n of_o power_n this_o be_v a_o universal_a perpetual_a and_o invincible_a limitation_n of_o all_o power_n of_o government_n either_o absolute_a or_o legal_a yea_o of_o all_o active_a power_n of_o reasonable_a creature_n 2._o there_o be_v another_o mean_a of_o limitation_n moral_a sc_n a_o promise_n oath_n or_o positive_a constitution_n whereby_o a_o prince_n put_v a_o bond_n upon_o himself_o make_v that_o now_o sinful_a to_o be_v do_v which_o before_o be_v not_o so_o this_o also_o induce_v a_o moral_a limitation_n as_o well_o in_o absolute_a as_o legal_a government_n as_o if_o a_o absolute_a monarch_n promise_v to_o follow_v such_o a_o rule_n which_o have_v a_o power_n to_o use_v any_o which_o his_o reason_n shall_v dictate_v or_o if_o a_o legal_a promise_n to_o abridge_v himself_o in_o a_o course_n in_o which_o the_o law_n have_v leave_v he_o indeterminate_v in_o this_o respect_n they_o come_v under_o a_o moral_a limitation_n but_o concern_v this_o positive_a mean_v we_o must_v note_v 1._o this_o promise_n how_o solemn_a soever_o it_o be_v must_v be_v a_o simple_a bond_n it_o must_v extend_v to_o no_o diminution_n of_o power_n or_o discharge_v from_o duty_n of_o subjection_n for_o than_o it_o be_v not_o mere_o moral_a it_o make_v the_o exceed_a act_n not_o only_o sinful_a but_o none_o oblige_v whereas_o it_o be_v the_o note_n of_o a_o mere_a moral_a bond_n that_o it_o extend_v not_o to_o any_o lessen_v of_o authority_n or_o discharge_v of_o duty_n as_o if_o a_o captain_n take_v his_o enemy_n prisoner_n he_o to_o save_v his_o life_n swear_v he_o a_o full_a vassalage_n afterward_o his_o master_n promise_v to_o command_v he_o only_o such_o service_n never_o absolve_v he_o from_o his_o former_a bond_n of_o absolute_a slavery_n here_o be_v a_o moral_a bond_n yet_o still_o a_o full_a debt_n of_o subjection_n in_o case_n the_o master_n shall_v break_v his_o word_n and_o put_v he_o on_o other_o employment_n 2._o if_o the_o matter_n be_v more_o thorough_o look_v into_o this_o positive_a means_n of_o limitation_n be_v either_o none_o at_o all_o or_o else_o add_v nothing_o to_o the_o former_a of_o the_o moral_a law_n of_o god_n for_o in_o such_o promise_n or_o oath_n whereby_o a_o governor_n limit_n himself_o there_o be_v a_o express_a or_o tacit_a condition_n if_o it_o conduce_v to_o the_o end_n of_o government_n the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o public_a good_a for_o if_o such_o oath_n or_o bond_n hinder_v the_o end_n of_o government_n it_o be_v eo_fw-la nomine_fw-la unlawful_a and_o invalid_a but_o if_o conduce_v to_o it_o than_o it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o be_v virtual_o require_v of_o he_o before_o by_o the_o moral_a law_n this_o promise_n or_o oath_n be_v but_o a_o more_o solemn_a profession_n and_o protestation_n to_o do_v that_o which_o before_o implicit_o he_o be_v bind_v moral_o unto_o thus_o we_o see_v all_o that_o doctor_n speak_v of_o moral_a and_o irrevocable_a limitation_n by_o promise_n and_o oath_n come_v to_o nothing_o in_o the_o issue_n so_o that_o this_o be_v grant_v that_o the_o monarch_n power_n in_o this_o state_n be_v only_o moral_o limit_v in_o the_o doctor_n sense_n we_o be_v as_o much_o under_o and_o owe_v as_o much_o subjection_n as_o the_o captive_a slave_n to_o his_o master_n and_o all_o our_o law_n and_o statute_n be_v but_o moral_a limitation_n of_o this_o second_o sort_n be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o moral_a limitation_n any_o far_a than_o the_o prince_n see_v they_o conduce_v to_o the_o end_n of_o government_n if_o any_o seem_v to_o stand_v in_o his_o way_n and_o hinder_v he_o therein_o he_o be_v no_o long_o bind_v to_o it_o but_o may_v account_v it_o a_o ill_o make_v promise_n or_o oath_n which_o be_v better_o break_v then_o keep_v 2._o limitation_n cause_n of_o legal_a limitation_n of_o the_o cause_n and_o mean_n of_o civil_a and_o legal_a limitation_n whereby_o not_o only_o the_o exercise_n but_o the_o power_n itself_o be_v confine_v 1._o the_o formal_a cause_n hereof_o be_v the_o limitation_n of_o the_o duty_n of_o subjection_n in_o the_o people_n the_o duty_n of_o subjection_n be_v the_o original_n of_o the_o power_n
