they_o as_o it_o be_v just_a and_o necessary_a on_o those_o former_a account_n so_o this_o make_v it_o a_o pious_a cause_n and_o therefore_o the_o more_o worthy_a of_o a_o true_a christian_a prince_n it_o have_v be_v judge_v so_o by_o they_o who_o name_n we_o have_v in_o great_a veneration_n we_o have_v the_o example_n of_o our_o own_o prince_n here_o in_o england_n in_o the_o best_a of_o time_n since_o the_o reformation_n these_o the_o reader_n may_v sin_v collect_v to_o his_o hand_n in_o a_o excellent_a book_n that_o have_v be_v late_o publish_v but_o this_o may_v as_o well_o be_v show_v in_o the_o example_n of_o they_o who_o our_o prince_n choose_v to_o follow_v as_o their_o pattern_n namely_o of_o the_o christian_n in_o primitive_a time_n and_o especial_o at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o first_o nicene_n council_n in_o these_o time_n we_o find_v that_o constantine_n and_o licinius_n have_v share_v the_o roman_a empire_n between_o they_o have_v pass_v a_o decree_n together_o at_o milan_n for_o christianity_n to_o be_v the_o establish_v religion_n and_o when_o afterward_o licinius_n in_o his_o part_n of_o the_o empire_n will_v have_v oppress_v it_o contrary_n to_o law_n for_o that_o cause_n constantine_n the_o great_a make_v war_n upon_o he_o and_o in_o prosecution_n of_o that_o war_n thrust_v he_o out_o of_o his_o empire_n for_o which_o he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v blame_v by_o any_o christian_a in_o those_o time_n even_o by_o those_o that_o have_v be_v licinius_n subject_n as_o most_o of_o those_o bishop_n be_v that_o sit_v in_o the_o nicene_n council_n that_o they_o all_o give_v he_o the_o high_a praise_n and_o encomium_n and_o bless_a god_n that_o have_v send_v they_o that_o happy_a deliverance_n by_o his_o mean_n eusebius_n be_v licinius_n subject_n and_o he_o afterward_o write_v the_o life_n of_o constantine_n the_o great_a in_o which_o they_o that_o please_v may_v read_v whole_a chapter_n to_o this_o purpose_n as_o that_o be_v a_o just_a war_n which_o be_v make_v upon_o just_a and_o sufficient_a cause_n so_o the_o effect_n of_o such_o a_o war_n be_v a_o conquest_n be_v just_o conquest_n be_v the_o way_n by_o which_o a_o kingdom_n or_o dominion_n be_v take_v from_o a_o sovereign_a prince_n against_o his_o will_n and_o by_o which_o another_o prince_n get_v it_o into_o his_o possession_n as_o often_o as_o this_o happen_v there_o arise_v a_o question_n between_o the_o two_o prince_n whether_o of_o they_o have_v a_o right_a to_o that_o kingdom_n or_o dominion_n for_o the_o decide_n of_o this_o question_n it_o must_v be_v by_o such_o a_o law_n as_o be_v common_a to_o both_o the_o party_n who_o right_n be_v to_o be_v judge_v by_o it_o that_o can_v be_v the_o law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n for_o though_o the_o prince_n that_o be_v disseize_v be_v oblige_v by_o that_o law_n while_o he_o be_v in_o possession_n yet_o now_o it_o seem_v he_o be_v not_o and_o it_o never_o be_v a_o law_n to_o the_o prince_n that_o be_v now_o in_o his_o place_n it_o must_v therefore_o be_v a_o superior_a law_n such_o as_o be_v common_a to_o all_o sovereign_a prince_n in_o their_o affair_n with_o one_o another_o and_o that_o as_o have_v be_v already_o show_v be_v ordinary_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n i_o say_v ordinary_o because_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o superior_a law_n namely_o the_o law_n of_o god_n whether_o write_v in_o our_o heart_n which_o we_o common_o call_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n or_o whether_o a_o express_a revelation_n from_o god_n such_o as_o be_v sometime_o give_v to_o man_n in_o ancient_a time_n either_o of_o these_o may_v derogate_v from_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n for_o this_o be_v make_v up_o of_o custom_n observe_v by_o prince_n and_o state_n among_o themselves_o be_v always_o subject_a to_o the_o will_n of_o he_o that_o be_v lord_n of_o lord_n and_o king_n of_o king_n but_o whether_o or_o how_o far_o this_o may_v alter_v the_o case_n will_v be_v consider_v afterward_o at_o present_a we_o be_v only_o to_o consider_v what_o judgement_n can_v be_v make_v of_o it_o according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n by_o this_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o right_n shall_v go_v along_o with_o the_o complete_a possession_n so_o as_o that_o wheresoever_o this_o be_v once_o settle_a whether_o by_o length_n of_o time_n or_o even_o soon_o by_o a_o general_a consent_n of_o the_o people_n there_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v presume_v there_o be_v a_o right_n at_o least_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v no_o far_o dispute_v of_o it_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o same_o reason_n for_o this_o that_o there_o be_v for_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n itself_o for_o if_o that_o law_n be_v ordain_v for_o the_o peace_n of_o mankind_n this_o quit_n of_o possession_n must_v be_v a_o part_n of_o it_o for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o end_n of_o war_n otherwise_o p._n 45_o 46_o 47_o to_o 51._o this_o appear_v by_o jephtha_n speech_n to_o the_o king_n of_o ammon_n that_o have_v chemosh_fw-mi for_o his_o god_n will_v not_o thou_o possess_v that_o which_o chemosh_fw-mi thy_o god_n give_v thou_o to_o possess_v so_o whosoever_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n shall_v drive_v out_o from_o before_o as_o they_o will_v we_o possess_v p._n 51._o it_o be_v by_o way_n of_o conquest_n that_o god_n put_v down_o one_o and_o set_v up_o another_o for_o so_o the_o babylonian_a empire_n be_v put_v down_o by_o cyrus_n who_o set_v up_o the_o persian_a in_o its_o stead_n the_o persian_a empire_n be_v put_v down_o in_o their_o last_o king_n darius_n and_o alexander_n set_v up_o the_o macedon_n in_o its_o stead_n the_o macedon_n kingdom_n be_v put_v down_o in_o their_o last_o king_n perseus_n and_o the_o roman_a be_v fetch_v up_o in_o its_o stead_n all_o these_o kingdom_n be_v change_v by_o conquest_n that_o they_o make_v one_o upon_o another_o and_o so_o it_o be_v by_o those_o conquest_n that_o god_n remove_v king_n and_o set_v up_o king_n p._n 53._o i_o do_v not_o say_v but_o they_o will_v have_v oppose_v the_o make_n of_o one_o of_o those_o conquest_n namely_o that_o of_o alexander_n the_o great_a because_o king_n darius_n be_v then_o live_v but_o when_o they_o see_v they_o can_v not_o oppose_v the_o conquest_n be_v already_o make_v then_o just_a or_o unjust_a they_o submit_v to_o it_o and_o have_v submit_v they_o be_v subject_a without_o any_o more_o controversy_n therefore_o also_o just_a and_o religious_a king_n have_v reckon_v their_o conquest_n among_o the_o great_a thing_n that_o god_n wrought_v by_o their_o mean_n and_o account_v they_o as_o much_o their_o subject_n who_o they_o have_v gain_v by_o the_o sword_n as_o they_o that_o be_v bear_v in_o their_o dominion_n therefore_o also_o god_n have_v command_v his_o people_n to_o give_v obedience_n to_o the_o king_n that_o come_v in_o by_o conquest_n without_o any_o other_o title_n nay_o to_o such_o as_o be_v capable_a of_o no_o other_o for_o they_o be_v forbid_v to_o set_v a_o stranger_n over_o they_o which_o be_v not_o their_o brother_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v subject_n to_o stranger_n such_o as_o cushan_n eglon_n and_o jabin_n etc._n etc._n and_o in_o zedekiah_n time_n god_n command_v they_o upon_o pain_n of_o death_n to_o become_v the_o subject_n of_o nabuchadnezzar_n who_o have_v make_v a_o full_a conquest_n over_o they_o and_o hold_v their_o lawful_a king_n jeconiab_n then_o in_o captivity_n this_o be_v plain_o the_o doctrine_n of_o that_o convocation_n which_o sit_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o king_n james_n i._o his_o time_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v but_o be_v very_o unjust_a to_o charge_v any_o man_n with_o singularity_n or_o novelty_n that_o go_v in_o the_o step_n of_o so_o many_o and_o so_o great_a author_n p._n 53_o 54_o 55._o but_o some_o learned_a and_o judicious_a man_n think_v that_o whereas_o a_o unjust_a conquest_n happen_v through_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n for_o the_o punish_n of_o a_o sinful_a prince_n or_o nation_n it_o do_v not_o appear_v that_o he_o that_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o this_o acquire_v any_o right_n by_o it_o more_o than_o those_o pirate_n or_o robber_n who_o be_v instrumental_a likewise_o in_o the_o punish_n of_o inferior_a transgressor_n and_o if_o god_n give_v no_o right_a to_o he_o who_o he_o set_v up_o than_o it_o remain_v still_o in_o he_o who_o he_o have_v put_v down_o so_o that_o he_o be_v rightful_a king_n still_o though_o he_o be_v out_o of_o possession_n and_o the_o other_o be_v but_o a_o usurper_n that_o be_v in_o possession_n in_o this_o case_n if_o the_o usurper_n have_v no_o pretence_n of_o right_n no_o prescription_n of_o time_n no_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n but_o only_o a_o unjust_a possession_n how_o a_o subject_a aught_o to_o behave_v himself_o towards_o he_o even_o this_o be_v a_o difficult_a question_n in_o a_o most_o
