consider_v how_o the_o doctor_n illustrate_v and_o confirm_v his_o proposition_n in_o hereditary_a kingdom_n say_v he_o a_o ibid._n rightful_a king_n be_v he_o who_o have_v by_o succession_n a_o legal_a right_n to_o the_o crown_n and_o he_o who_o have_v possession_n of_o it_o without_o a_o legal_a right_n be_v a_o king_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la a_o king_n but_o not_o by_o law_n that_o be_v he_o be_v a_o unlawful_a king_n or_o a_o usurper_n now_o if_o this_o law_n which_o create_v a_o right_a to_o the_o crown_n be_v true_o and_o proper_o a_o law_n than_o it_o be_v certain_a the_o authority_n of_o god_n confirm_v it_o and_o consequent_o the_o king_n de_fw-fr jure_fw-la have_v his_o right_n establish_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n the_o usurper_n can_v claim_v by_o virtue_n of_o it_o if_o the_o legal_a and_o divine_a right_o be_v in_o another_o it_o be_v manifest_a he_o have_v neither_o and_o must_v be_v a_o wrongful_a possessor_n with_o respect_n to_o god_n and_o man_n but_o if_o the_o law_n of_o succession_n be_v no_o law_n the_o talk_n of_o a_o king_n de_fw-fr jure_fw-la be_v banter_n and_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o right_o or_o law_n in_o the_o world_n the_o dr._n acknowledge_v that_o ibid._n subject_n be_v so_o tie_v up_o by_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o kingdom_n that_o they_o must_v not_o pull_v down_o or_o set_v up_o king_n contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n but_o he_o add_v god_n be_v not_o bind_v by_o humane_a law_n but_o can_v make_v who_o he_o please_v king_n without_o regard_n to_o legal_a right_n this_o be_v liable_a to_o many_o reflection_n 1._o he_o grant_v that_o subject_n must_v not_o see_v up_o illegal_a king_n therefore_o they_o must_v not_o set_v they_o up_o by_o give_v their_o consent_n to_o the_o advancement_n of_o they_o and_o yet_o he_o affirm_v afterward_o that_o king_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la be_v not_o set_v up_o by_o god_n till_o they_o be_v settle_v and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o settle_v till_o they_o have_v the_o consent_n of_o the_o subject_n thus_o the_o result_n be_v that_o god_n can_v never_o set_v up_o king_n against_o law_n for_o subject_n must_v not_o set_v they_o up_o by_o their_o consent_n and_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n to_o do_v it_o 2._o if_o subject_n must_v not_o be_v it_o lawful_a for_o other_o to_o advance_v they_o may_v foreigner_n lawful_o set_v up_o king_n over_o other_o who_o make_v they_o judge_n or_o king-maker_n in_o other_o kingdom_n or_o how_o can_v they_o prove_v any_o commission_n from_o god_n to_o do_v it_o thus_o it_o can_v be_v lawful_a for_o no_o sort_n of_o man_n to_o be_v instrument_n in_o set_v up_o illegal_a king_n and_o therefore_o they_o must_v be_v set_v up_o by_o god_n permission_n only_o for_o when_o wicked_a action_n be_v do_v by_o wicked_a instrument_n it_o be_v certain_a he_o only_o permit_v they_o 3._o if_o neither_o subject_n nor_o foreigner_n can_v lawful_o set_v up_o king_n against_o law_n how_o shall_v providence_n do_v it_o god_n must_v either_o set_v they_o up_o without_o instrument_n which_o he_o never_o do_v nor_o will_v do_v or_o he_o must_v always_o set_v they_o up_o by_o wicked_a instrument_n and_o then_o it_o must_v be_v say_v that_o god_n can_v lawful_o set_v up_o king_n but_o never_o by_o lawful_a mean_n and_o whether_o this_o be_v not_o derogatory_n to_o the_o goodness_n and_o justice_n of_o his_o government_n let_v every_o one_o consider_v 4._o whereas_o he_o affirm_v that_o god_n can_v make_v king_n without_o regard_n to_o legal_a right_n why_o may_v it_o not_o be_v as_o well_o say_v that_o he_o can_v make_v marriage_n or_o legitimate_a bastard_n or_o create_v judge_n constables_z and_o freeholder_n against_o law_n no_o doubt_v he_o can_v do_v all_o this_o by_o a_o express_a revelation_n of_o his_o will_n and_o so_o he_o can_v make_v king_n against_o law_n by_o express_a nomination_n but_o providential_a event_n be_v by_o no_o mean_n equivalent_a to_o it_o the_o unjust_a possessor_n of_o another_o freehold_a be_v in_o some_o sense_n a_o freeholder_n by_o providence_n but_o that_o can_v be_v no_o bar_n to_o a_o ejectment_n by_o law_n and_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o unlawful_a possession_n of_o sovereignty_n god_n providence_n do_v not_o abrogate_v the_o legal_a right_n nor_o make_v a_o ejectment_n unlawful_a as_o i_o say_v before_o the_o matter_n of_o humane_a law_n be_v often_o substract_v by_o providence_n and_o so_o be_v the_o matter_n of_o divine_a and_o natural_a law_n but_o providence_n do_v no_o more_o act_n against_o those_o than_o these_o the_o bond_n of_o law_n be_v the_o authority_n of_o god_n and_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o political_n society_n and_o the_o establisher_n of_o law_n which_o be_v the_o soul_n and_o cement_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o to_o say_v he_o destroy_v it_o by_o his_o providence_n be_v to_o represent_v his_o providence_n as_o subvert_v his_o authority_n and_o to_o make_v he_o not_o the_o god_n of_o order_n but_o the_o god_n of_o confusion_n prop._n 6._o the_o sum_n of_o it_o be_v ibid._n this_o we_o can_v have_v but_o one_o king_n at_o a_o time_n and_o therefore_o our_o allegiance_n can_v be_v due_a only_o to_o one_o king_n by_o king_n he_o mean_v the_o possessor_n of_o the_o throne_n so_o that_o this_o proposition_n be_v a_o very_a wonderful_a discovery_n that_o two_o opposite_a king_n can_v at_o the_o same_o time_n possess_v the_o same_o throne_n which_o be_v as_o clear_a as_o that_o they_o can_v be_v in_o the_o same_o place_n together_o or_o that_o two_o m●●_n can_v be_v one_o man_n this_o the_o little_a writer_n can_v easy_o comprehend_v and_o if_o it_o be_v as_o clear_v that_o allegiance_n be_v always_o due_a to_o the_o possessor_n the_o controversy_n will_v be_v at_o a_o end_n between_o we_o prop._n 7._o he_o be_v our_o king_n who_o be_v ibid._n settle_v in_o the_o actual_a administration_n of_o sovereign_a power_n this_o we_o deny_v to_o be_v true_a in_o our_o sense_n of_o king_n and_o his_o sense_n of_o settlement_n but_o king_n he_o say_v be_v the_o name_n of_o power_n and_o authority_n not_o of_o mere_a right_n then_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o proposition_n be_v this_o he_o have_v power_n and_o authority_n over_o we_o who_o have_v the_o administration_n of_o power_n and_o authority_n over_o we_o but_o if_o the_o doctor_n will_v assume_v a_o authority_n over_o word_n it_o be_v not_o for_o i_o to_o contradict_v it_o we_o know_v the_o world_n do_v general_o give_v the_o name_n of_o king_n to_o charles_n i._o and_o ii_o when_o they_o have_v only_o a_o legal_a right_n to_o the_o crown_n but_o do_v not_o possess_v it_o and_o so_o they_o do_v to_o such_o a_o prince_n who_o ought_v by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n to_o be_v king_n but_o be_v not_o as_o the_o doctor_n understand_v the_o name_n of_o king_n but_o since_o he_o be_v resolve_v that_o king_n shall_v signify_v possession_n of_o power_n only_o let_v he_o have_v his_o humour_n but_o let_v he_o draw_v no_o argument_n from_o his_o arbitrary_a interpretation_n of_o name_n his_o king_n can_v have_v no_o title_n to_o god_n authority_n against_o legal_a right_n which_o always_o carry_v god_n authority_n with_o it_o here_o the_o doctor_n propose_v a_o objection_n that_o it_o be_v hobbisin_n that_o dominion_n be_v natural_o annex_v to_o power_n and_o in_o answer_n to_o it_o he_o make_v show_v of_o a_o distinction_n between_o hobbs_n opinion_n and_o his_o own_o hobbs_n make_v power_n and_o nothing_o else_o to_o give_v right_o to_o dominion_n and_o assert_n that_o god_n himself_o be_v the_o natural_a governor_n of_o the_o world_n not_o because_o he_o make_v it_o but_o because_o he_o be_v omnipotent_a but_o i_o say_v that_o government_n be_v found_v in_o right_o and_o that_o god_n be_v the_o natural_a lord_n of_o the_o world_n because_o he_o make_v it_o and_o that_o no_o creature_n have_v any_o right_a to_o govern_v but_o as_o he_o receive_v authority_n from_o god_n he_o may_v as_o well_o have_v answer_v that_o hobbs_n make_v civil_a law_n the_o rule_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n and_o deny_v the_o existence_n of_o spirit_n but_o i_o do_v not_o be_v there_o any_o dispute_n here_o about_o the_o ground_n of_o god_n dominion_n be_v it_o not_o whole_o about_o humane_a government_n and_o be_v hobbism_n ever_o lay_v to_o his_o charge_n for_o assert_v that_o god_n dominion_n be_v found_v only_o in_o his_o omnipotency_n the_o question_n be_v whether_o mr._n hobbs_n and_o the_o doctor_n teach_v not_o the_o same_o doctrine_n about_o the_o legal_a right_n and_o possession_n of_o sovereignty_n and_o the_o transfer_v of_o allegiance_n to_o usurper_n and_o whether_o he_o can_v clear_v himself_o from_o hobbism_n in_o the_o point_n we_o be_v now_o debate_v and_o this_o charge_n be_v so_o evident_a
and_o therefore_o if_o the_o possession_n of_o a_o power_n which_o be_v the_o right_n of_o another_o be_v wickedness_n we_o be_v sure_a that_o god_n decree_n and_o providence_n about_o it_o be_v mere_o permissive_a and_o be_v consequent_o far_o from_o be_v argument_n of_o divine_a authority_n but_o to_o return_v to_o the_o doctor_n he_o endeavour_v to_o support_v his_o argument_n by_o providence_n by_o remember_v 13._o that_o king_n be_v god_n minister_n and_o lieutenant_n and_o be_v invest_v with_o his_o authority_n now_o to_o give_v authority_n to_o any_o person_n do_v not_o signify_v to_o permit_v he_o to_o take_v it_o and_o we_o can_v but_o think_v that_o god_n will_v exercise_v a_o particular_a providence_n in_o appoint_v his_o great_a minister_n under_o the_o word_n king_n he_o comprehend_v usurper_n and_o here_o the_o doctor_n will_v conjure_v we_o into_o a_o circle_n he_o undertake_v to_o prove_v that_o all_o usurper_n do_v rule_v by_o god_n authority_n because_o they_o be_v advance_v by_o his_o providence_n and_o now_o he_o remember_v that_o they_o be_v invest_v with_o his_o authority_n and_o from_o thence_o he_o argue_v that_o they_o be_v advance_v by_o his_o providence_n but_o the_o doctor_n remember_v what_o he_o have_v not_o prove_v that_o all_o king_n comprehend_v usurper_n be_v invest_v with_o god_n authority_n this_o we_o positive_o deny_v as_o be_v here_o precarious_o assert_v and_o therefore_o the_o assumption_n and_o inference_n that_o follow_v aught_o to_o pass_v for_o nothing_o but_o behold_v his_o ibid._n subtlety_n no_o man_n can_v have_v god_n authority_n but_o he_o to_o who_o it_o be_v give_v and_o if_o the_o advancement_n to_o a_o throne_n invest_v a_o prince_n with_o god_n authority_n than_o god_n give_v he_o the_o throne_n and_o do_v not_o mere_o permit_v he_o to_o take_v it_o if_o the_o supposition_n be_v well_o prove_v the_o consequence_n will_v be_v never_o doubt_v but_o the_o reason_n on_o which_o he_o ground_n it_o be_v either_o not_o true_a or_o not_o pertinent_a for_o no_o man_n can_v take_v god_n authority_n but_o it_o must_v be_v give_v by_o he_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n do_v general_o imply_v a_o conveyance_n of_o right_n by_o divine_a donation_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n his_o assertion_n be_v manifest_o false_a for_o all_o authority_n be_v god_n and_o whenever_o man_n do_v assume_v power_n and_o authority_n which_o they_o have_v no_o right_a to_o exercise_v as_o for_o instance_n all_o usurper_n rebel_n pirate_n robber_n and_o schismatical_a preacher_n it_o be_v evident_a they_o usurp_v that_o power_n and_o authority_n which_o god_n never_o give_v they_o but_o sometime_o god_n be_v say_v to_o give_v a_o thing_n when_o providence_n so_o order_v it_o that_o man_n have_v power_n to_o take_v it_o thus_o use_v god_n give_v david_n wife_n to_o absalon_n as_o the_o prophet_n have_v denounce_v but_o this_o permissive_a gift_n do_v by_o no_o mean_n authorise_v and_o legitimate_a his_o inoe_v with_o they_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v true_a that_o no_o man_n can_v take_v god_n authority_n but_o it_o must_v be_v give_v that_o be_v no_o man_n can_v usurp_v it_o without_o god_n permission_n but_o in_o this_o sense_n his_o proposition_n here_o be_v insignificant_a for_o a_o permissive_a gift_n be_v as_o good_a a_o charter_n for_o thief_n and_o cutthroat_n as_o it_o be_v for_o tyrant_n and_o usurper_n nay_o say_v the_o doctor_n since_o ibid._n god_n make_v king_n now_o not_o by_o a_o express_a nomination_n but_o only_o by_o the_o event_n of_o providence_n we_o must_v not_o allow_v that_o god_n at_o any_o time_n permit_v man_n to_o make_v themselves_o king_n who_o he_o do_v not_o make_v king_n for_o than_o we_o can_v never_o distinguish_v between_o king_n by_o the_o permission_n and_o by_o the_o appointment_n of_o god_n between_o god_n king_n and_o king_n of_o their_o own_o make_n then_o in_o other_o word_n he_o repeat_v the_o same_o assertion_n and_o conclude_v that_o there_o be_v no_o direction_n how_o to_o distinguish_v they_o and_o the_o event_n of_o providence_n in_o place_v they_o in_o the_o throne_n be_v the_o same_o in_o both_o here_o the_o doctor_n will_v not_o distinguish_v against_o his_o own_o hypothesis_n but_o why_o may_v not_o the_o permission_n and_o appointment_n of_o god_n be_v as_o easy_o distinguish_v in_o the_o advancement_n of_o king_n as_o in_o the_o success_n of_o pirate_n and_o robber_n or_o in_o any_o other_o event_n whatever_n since_o the_o only_a way_n whereby_o god_n do_v now_o give_v riches_n and_o estate_n be_v the_o disposal_n of_o providence_n can_v we_o therefore_o never_o distinguish_v between_o the_o possess_v they_o by_o the_o permission_n and_o by_o the_o appointment_n of_o god_n do_v the_o forge●_n of_o a_o will_v hold_v his_o estate_n by_o divine_a appointment_n or_o the_o thief_n the_o purchase_n of_o robbery_n if_o we_o can_v distinguish_v in_o such_o case_n between_o god_n permission_n and_o appointment_n justice_n must_v leave_v the_o earth_n again_o and_o a_o divine_a right_n may_v be_v plead_v for_o all_o the_o injustice_n in_o the_o world_n but_o if_o that_o distinction_n be_v allow_v in_o private_a property_n why_o shall_v it_o not_o be_v admit_v in_o the_o right_n of_o sovereignty_n also_o the_o reason_n be_v the_o same_o in_o both_o for_o god_n can_v never_o be_v the_o author_n of_o any_o wickedness_n and_o as_o long_o as_o the_o possession_n of_o any_o thing_n be_v unjust_a or_o wicked_a we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o providence_n only_o permit_v it_o but_o say_v the_o doctor_n there_o be_v no_o direction_n how_o to_o distinguish_v between_o king_n by_o permission_n and_o by_o divine_a appointment_n and_o the_o event_n of_o providence_n be_v the_o same_o in_o both_o if_o he_o mean_v direction_n in_o scripture_n he_o know_v we_o be_v direct_v there_o to_o render_v every_o man_n his_o due_n and_o not_o only_a scripture_n but_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o

and_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n and_o scripture_n do_v assure_v we_o that_o a_o unjust_a possession_n be_v only_o permit_v by_o god_n and_o not_o appoint_v and_o authorize_v by_o he_o we_o have_v as_o plain_v a_o direction_n how_o to_o distinguish_v about_o the_o possession_n of_o sovereignty_n as_o of_o private_a property_n or_o as_o we_o have_v to_o distinguish_v between_o the_o usurper_n of_o god_n vindictive_a justice_n ●nd_v the_o lawful_a administrator_n of_o it_o vengeance_n be_v god_n and_o his_o vicegerent_n but_o it_o be_v often_o usurp_v by_o murderer_n and_o rebel_n they_o

the_o event_n consider_v as_o natural_a action_n may_v be_v the_o same_o but_o as_o moral_a they_o may_v be_v as_o easy_o distinguish_v as_o any_o moral_a good_a and_o evil_n adultery_n and_o
