A82549	The oath of allegiance and the national covenant proved to be non-obliging: or, three several papers on that subject; viz. 1. Two positions, with several reasons of them, and consequences flowing from thence. 2. An answer to the said positions. 3. A reply to the said answer, wherein the truth of the positions is vindicated, and the oath of allegiance, and the national covenant are made non-obliging. / By Samuel Eaton, teacher of the Church of Christ at Darkenfield in Chesshire.	Eaton, Samuel, 1596?-1665.	1650 (1650)	Wing E124; Thomason E606_2; Thomason E613_18; ESTC R205852	78,765	83

only_o a_o just_a father_n may_v have_v a_o wicked_a son_n but_o a_o righteous_a man_n prince_n or_o other_o may_v turn_v away_o from_o his_o righteousness_n 2_o notwithstanding_o there_o be_v this_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o that_o whilst_o a_o man_n swear_v allegiance_n to_o a_o prince_n at_o present_a wise_a and_o just_a and_o pious_a in_o profession_n but_o mutual_a and_o changeable_a he_o swear_v in_o judgement_n to_o he_o he_o exercise_v his_o understanding_n and_o best_a ability_n in_o judge_v beyond_o which_o a_o man_n can_v go_v nor_o do_v god_n require_v he_o to_o go_v but_o in_o the_o other_o he_o exercise_v not_o his_o judgement_n at_o all_o but_o swear_v hand-over-head_n to_o a_o thing_n he_o do_v not_o know_v what_o and_o to_o a_o person_n he_o know_v not_o who_o and_o i_o will_v ask_v this_o man_n whether_o if_o it_o be_v so_o in_o all_o the_o under-office_n in_o the_o kingdom_n that_o person_n shall_v come_v by_o succession_n to_o their_o place_n if_o all_o judge_n shall_v and_o all_o magistrate_n and_o other_o person_n in_o office_n shall_v whether_o there_o be_v not_o like_a to_o be_v a_o miserable_a commonwealth_n and_o whether_o he_o dare_v reason_n after_o this_o manner_n and_o make_v a_o parity_n betwixt_o choose_v man_n just_a at_o present_a and_o wise_a man_n and_o man_n of_o truth_n to_o such_o place_n and_o make_v such_o place_n hereditary_a because_o if_o there_o be_v a_o election_n the_o person_n that_o be_v good_a and_o able_a for_o such_o place_n may_v degenerate_v and_o if_o it_o be_v hereditary_a they_o may_v be_v good_a and_o can_v be_v but_o naught_o as_o the_o other_o may_v prove_v to_o be_v i_o will_v ask_v he_o also_o whether_o there_o be_v the_o like_a casuality_n in_o reference_n to_o the_o one_o as_o to_o the_o other_o though_o there_o be_v a_o possibilty_a in_o reference_n to_o both_o and_o if_o this_o reason_v be_v shameful_a in_o referenee_n to_o under_o officer_n then_o why_o be_v it_o not_o so_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o supreme_a officer_n beside_o there_o be_v a_o express_a command_n for_o the_o one_o in_o exod._n 18._o 21._o 23._o campare_v with_o numb_a 11._o 16_o

far_o of_o it_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o the_o former_a and_o receive_v its_o answer_n in_o the_o former_a but_o he_o go_v on_o and_o say_v it_o be_v also_o against_o the_o law_n and_o

reply_n nation_n have_v so_o do_v and_o they_o have_v be_v plague_v in_o do_v so_o also_o but_o say_v he_o its_o warrant_a by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n israel_n offer_v a_o successive_a power_n to_o

the_o patriarch_n power_n which_o be_v political_a be_v successive_a so_o be_v the_o government_n of_o the_o jew_n for_o a_o hundred_o year_n in_o the_o lineage_n of_o the_o macabee_n reply_n 1_o the_o instance_n in_o gideon_n prove_v nothing_o though_o israel_n offer_v it_o be_v deep_o affect_v with_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o deliverance_n of_o which_o he_o be_v instrumental_a and_o it_o be_v only_o a_o sudden_a expression_n of_o their_o love_n and_o not_o so_o deliberate_o do_v yet_o gideon_n accept_v it_o not_o 2_o as_o for_o god_n institute_v it_o lineal_o in_o david_n 1_o god_n raise_v up_o saul_n to_o the_o kingdom_n but_o settle_v it_o not_o lineal_o in_o he_o let_v the_o one_o be_v set_v against_o the_o other_o 2_o it_o appear_v not_o that_o god_n settle_v it_o in_o the_o next_o of_o blood_n in_o david_n lineage_n or_o that_o the_o next_o of_o blood_n have_v it_o for_o solomon_n be_v not_o his_o elder_a son_n live_v but_o adonijah_n be_v before_o he_o yet_o god_n give_v it_o to_o solomon_n not_o to_o adonijah_n therefore_o this_o set_n it_o in_o david_n seed_n be_v not_o pattern_n for_o succession_n among_o we_o 3_o it_o be_v do_v in_o reference_n to_o christ_n who_o be_v to_o come_v from_o david_n loin_n and_o be_v to_o have_v his_o throne_n luk._n 1._o 32._o 3_o the_o patriarchal_a government_n whatever_o it_o be_v for_o we_o be_v leave_v much_o in_o the_o dark_a about_o it_o and_o this_o man_n make_v use_v of_o it_o but_o hold_v not_o out_o any_o light_n concern_v it_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n institute_v it_o for_o the_o father_n be_v great_a than_o the_o child_n and_o his_o governor_n from_o that_o act_n of_o he_o in_o beget_v of_o he_o as_o god_n be_v governor_n of_o the_o world_n by_o that_o act_n of_o he_o in_o create_v it_o but_o mix_v family_n as_o in_o commonwealth_n the_o people_n make_v their_o own_o father_n that_o be_v their_o own_o governor_n and_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v it_o with_o the_o best_a understanding_n they_o have_v 4_o the_o example_n of_o the_o maccabee_n prove_v nothing_o for_o they_o be_v saviour_n who_o god_n raise_v up_o successive_o and_o therefore_o they_o may_v well_o rule_v successive_o but_o for_o the_o thing_n itself_o god_n seem_v to_o disallow_v it_o for_o israel_n have_v a_o government_n settle_v by_o god_n among_o they_o before_o saul_n time_n but_o not_o kingly_a nor_o in_o succession_n but_o of_o another_o kind_n and_o this_o government_n they_o like_v not_o but_o will_v have_v a_o government_n according_a to_o the_o nation_n viz._n kingly_a government_n in_o succession_n but_o god_n be_v displease_v with_o it_o and_o say_v they_o have_v reject_v he_o in_o it_o 4_o he_o say_v we_o have_v scriptural_a example_n of_o a_o uncontroverted_a integrity_n of_o oath_n to_o prince_n and_o their_o heir_n and_o to_o prince_n in_o their_o young_a unripe_a and_o untried_a year_n take_v say_v he_o that_o instance_n of_o abraham_n swear_v to_o abimelech_n his_o son_n and_o his_o son_n son_n gen._n 21._o 23_o 24._o and_o that_o of_o david_n make_v solomon_n king_n in_o his_o own_o life_n time_n when_o he_o be_v young_a and_o tender_a 2_o chron._n 23._o 1._o &_o 29._o 1._o and_o that_o of_o jehojada_n and_o the_o people_n make_v of_o joash_n king_n and_o swear_v to_o he_o when_o he_o mass_n but_o seven_o year_n old_a 2_o king_n 11._o 4._o 21._o reply_n 1_o abraham_n swear_v to_o abimelech_n and_o to_o his_o son_n and_o to_o his_o son_n son_n not_o to_o deal_v false_o with_o they_o but_o according_a as_o abimelech_n have_v deal_v kind_o with_o he_o this_o be_v not_o only_o a_o safe_a oath_n without_o danger_n in_o abraham_n but_o a_o just_a oath_n and_o of_o a_o thing_n necessary_a in_o itself_o to_o be_v do_v and_o of_o a_o unchangeable_a nature_n so_o far_o as_o concern_v falseness_n and_o it_o be_v a_o mutual_a oath_n and_o also_o therein_o conditional_a so_o far_o as_o concern_v kindness_n and_o therefore_o no_o way_n applicable_a to_o the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n in_o reference_n to_o heir_n which_o as_o be_v say_v in_o the_o reason_n may_v bring_v ruin_n and_o be_v like_a to_o prove_v soon_o or_o late_a pernicious_a 2_o that_o instance_n of_o david_n in_o make_v solomon_n king_n in_o his_o life_n time_n while_o young_a and_o tender_a have_v little_a strength_n in_o it_o solomon_n be_v the_o person_n appoint_v thereunto_o of_o god_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v sure_a to_o be_v competent_o furnish_v with_o ability_n for_o it_o from_o god_n what_o ever_o his_o age_n may_v be_v and_o he_o grow_v up_o to_o such_o year_n that_o excellent_a wisdom_n and_o a_o excellent_a spirit_n fit_a for_o government_n appear_v in_o he_o 3_o that_o of_o joash_n have_v more_o in_o it_o in_o reference_n to_o unripe_a year_n but_o reach_v not_o the_o case_n because_o he_o be_v all_o that_o be_v leave_v of_o those_o heir_n that_o be_v to_o succeed_v in_o david_n lineage_n in_o the_o kingdom_n which_o god_n have_v establish_v by_o covenant_n upon_o david_n and_o his_o seed_n 2_o he_o deny_v the_o two_o part_n of_o the_o consequence_n 1_o that_o part_n viz._n the_o oath_n be_v not_o in_o judgement_n because_o no_o man_n know_v what_o the_o heir_n will_v prove_v but_o what_o be_v the_o word_n wherein_o he_o deny_v it_o 1_o it_o may_v be_v say_v he_o in_o judgement_n so_o far_o as_o a_o future_a contigencie_n can_v be_v
