A59904	A vindication of The case of allegiance due to soveraign powers, in reply to An answer to a late pamphlet, intituled, Obedience and submission to the present government, demonstrated from Bishop Overal's convocation-book, with a postscript in answer to Dr. Sherlock's Case of allegiance, &c. by William Sherlock.	Sherlock, William, 1641?-1707.	1691 (1691)	Wing S3375; ESTC R11110	75,308	83

when_o the_o government_n be_v settle_v by_o such_o submission_n than_o submission_n which_o necessity_n justify_v before_o become_v a_o duty_n and_o those_o who_o will_v not_o submit_v at_o first_o or_o may_v have_v refuse_v to_o do_v so_o without_o sin_n when_o the_o government_n be_v settle_v by_o a_o general_a submission_n be_v then_o bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o submit_v themselves_o the_o question_n then_o between_o we_o be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v this_o if_o he_o intend_v to_o oppose_v i_o not_o whether_o the_o jew_n may_v lawful_o submit_v to_o athaliah_n while_o she_o be_v possess_v of_o the_o throne_n for_o this_o i_o grant_v they_o may_v lawful_o do_v but_o whether_o they_o have_v sosubmit_v and_o she_o be_v thorough_o settle_v in_o her_o throne_n for_o that_o our_o author_n will_v suppose_v it_o be_v not_o as_o unlawful_a upon_o my_o principle_n for_o the_o jew_n to_o set_v up_o joash_n and_o to_o kill_v athaliah_n as_o it_o be_v for_o any_o other_o people_n to_o depose_v and_o murder_v a_o king_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la who_o government_n be_v thorough_o settle_v among_o they_o and_o here_o he_o take_v notice_n of_o two_o argument_n i_o make_v use_n of_o the_o argument_n from_o providence_n and_o from_o the_o necessity_n of_o government_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o human_a society_n which_o he_o say_v will_v equal_o serve_v athaliah_n as_o any_o other_o king_n or_o queen_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la and_o if_o they_o will_v i_o will_v give_v they_o up_o for_o lose_v 1._o as_o for_o providence_n 7._o the_o sum_n of_o all_o he_o say_v be_v this_o that_o according_a to_o my_o principle_n athaliah_n be_v place_v in_o the_o throne_n by_o god_n by_o his_o counsel_n decree_n and_o order_n and_o peculiar_a order_n well!_o i_o must_v own_v it_o for_o i_o know_v none_o but_o god_n who_o can_v advance_v to_o the_o throne_n and_o i_o know_v no_o more_o hurt_v in_o own_v that_o god_n exalt_v athaliah_n to_o the_o throne_n than_o that_o he_o exalt_a baasha_n who_o slay_v nadab_n the_o son_n of_o jeroboam_fw-la and_o reign_v in_o his_o stead_n and_o yet_o god_n himself_o by_o his_o prophet_n tell_v baasha_n i_o exalt_v thou_o out_o of_o the_o dust_n and_o make_v thou_o prince_n over_o my_o people_n israel_n 1_o king_n 16._o 2._o and_o what_o do_v he_o prove_v from_o this_o now_o athaliah_n say_v he_o have_v the_o actual_a administration_n of_o sovereign_a power_n and_o therefore_o according_a to_o the_o doctor_n she_o be_v queen_n by_o god_n authority_n though_o not_o by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o allegiance_n must_v be_v due_a to_o she_o as_o well_o as_o to_o any_o other_o and_o all_o the_o doctor_n be_v argument_n be_v as_o conclusive_a and_o valid_a for_o submission_n to_o athaliah_n as_o for_o submission_n to_o any_o body_n else_o grant_v all_o this_o and_o what_o then_o why_o then_o this_o justify_v the_o submission_n of_o the_o jew_n to_o athaliah_n while_o she_o be_v possess_v of_o the_o throne_n and_o no_o rightful_a heir_n appear_v and_o what_o hurt_n be_v there_o in_o this_o will_v our_o author_n condemn_v they_o for_o this_o submission_n or_o do_v the_o scripture_n or_o convocation_n do_v it_o if_o he_o will_v have_v conclude_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o purpose_n he_o shall_v have_v say_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o jehoiada_n to_o have_v anoint_v joash_n and_o to_o have_v kill_v athaliah_n but_o this_o he_o know_v do_v not_o follow_v from_o my_o principle_n for_o i_o express_o distinguish_v between_o god_n make_v king_n by_o a_o particular_a nomination_n 11._o as_o he_o make_v king_n in_o jewry_n and_o entail_v the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n on_o david_n '_o s_o posterity_n and_o his_o make_v king_n by_o his_o providence_n as_o he_o do_v in_o other_o nation_n now_o what_o i_o say_v about_o the_o right_n and_o prerogative_n of_o king_n advance_v to_o the_o throne_n and_o settle_v there_o by_o the_o divine_a providence_n concern_v only_o such_o kingdom_n where_o god_n make_v king_n only_o by_o his_o providence_n not_o such_o kingdom_n where_o god_n ordinary_o make_v king_n by_o a_o particular_a nomination_n of_o the_o person_n or_o by_o a_o divine_a entail_n which_o be_v equivalent_a to_o a_o particular_a nomination_n for_o this_o great_o alter_v the_o case_n to_o make_v this_o plain_a let_v we_o consider_v the_o state_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n and_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o israel_n after_o the_o ten_o tribe_n be_v divide_v from_o the_o house_n of_o david_n god_n first_o make_v king_n by_o a_o express_a nomination_n of_o the_o person_n as_o he_o do_v soul_n and_o david_n and_o afterward_o entail_v the_o kingdom_n on_o david_n posterity_n when_o the_o ten_o tribe_n be_v divide_v from_o judah_n he_o still_o reserve_v to_o himself_o the_o prerogative_n of_o nominate_v their_o king_n when_o he_o please_v but_o yet_o he_o do_v not_o so_o strict_o confine_v himself_o to_o nominate_v who_o he_o will_v have_v to_o be_v king_n or_o to_o a_o entail_n of_o his_o own_o make_n but_o that_o he_o sometime_o set_v up_o king_n by_o his_o providence_n without_o a_o particular_a nomination_n or_o any_o successive_a right_n as_o he_o do_v in_o other_o nation_n let_v we_o then_o consider_v what_o the_o right_a of_o these_o providential_a king_n be_v in_o judah_n and_o israel_n now_o these_o king_n when_o they_o be_v settle_v in_o their_o throne_n have_v all_o the_o right_n of_o other_o sovereign_a prince_n of_o judah_n or_o israel_n except_v this_o that_o they_o be_v liable_a to_o be_v divest_v of_o their_o kingdom_n by_o god_n nomination_n of_o a_o new_a king_n or_o by_o the_o revival_n of_o a_o old_a entail_v when_o god_n nominate_v any_o king_n and_o give_v command_v to_o his_o prophet_n to_o anoint_v he_o it_o be_v always_o for_o life_n and_o though_o during_o his_o life_n he_o may_v nominate_v another_o to_o succeed_v he_o after_o his_o death_n as_o he_o do_v david_n to_o succeed_v saul_n yet_o he_o never_o nominate_v another_o to_o take_v his_o life_n and_o his_o crown_n from_o he_o and_o when_o he_o have_v make_v a_o perpetual_a entail_v though_o he_o may_v for_o a_o time_n interrupt_v the_o succession_n he_o do_v not_o cut_v it_o off_o but_o it_o be_v otherwise_o with_o mere_a providential_a king_n as_o it_o must_v necessary_o be_v in_o such_o kingdom_n which_o be_v under_o the_o immediate_a disposal_n and_o nomination_n of_o god_n a_o new_a nomination_n or_o the_o appear_v of_o the_o right_a heir_n put_v a_o end_n to_o their_o reign_n as_o for_o example_n jeroboam_fw-la be_v place_v on_o the_o throne_n of_o israel_n by_o god_n nomination_n and_o reign_v as_o long_o as_o he_o live_v but_o for_o his_o sin_n god_n will_v not_o entail_v the_o kingdom_n on_o his_o family_n but_o baasha_n slay_v his_o son_n nadab_n and_o succeed_v in_o the_o kingdom_n and_o be_v the_o first_o providential_a king_n of_o israel_n without_o a_o divine_a nomination_n or_o entail_n elah_n baasha_n son_n be_v slay_v by_o zimri_n and_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n without_o any_o divine_a appointment_n make_v omri_n king_n ahab_n his_o son_n succeed_v omri_n and_o joram_n ahab_n who_o be_v all_o advance_v by_o the_o divine_a providence_n without_o god_n nomination_n but_o now_o their_o sin_n be_v very_o provoke_v god_n command_v his_o prophet_n to_o anoint_v jehu_n king_n over_o israel_n to_o destroy_v the_o family_n of_o ahab_n and_o jehu_n as_o soon_o as_o he_o be_v anoint_v immediate_o take_v possession_n of_o the_o kingdom_n kill_v joram_n and_o destroy_v the_o house_n of_o ahab_n for_o though_o joram_n be_v advance_v by_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n and_o be_v the_o three_o successive_a king_n of_o his_o family_n and_o therefore_o have_v a_o good_a right_n against_o all_o human_a claim_n yet_o he_o can_v have_v no_o unalterable_a right_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o israel_n because_o that_o kingdom_n be_v at_o god_n immediate_a disposal_n when_o ever_o he_o please_v to_o nominate_v a_o king_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o different_a behaviour_n of_o david_n and_o jehu_n david_n be_v anoint_v as_o well_o as_o jehu_n but_o he_o never_o pretend_v to_o the_o crown_n while_o saul_n live_v because_o there_o be_v then_o a_o anoint_a king_n on_o the_o throne_n but_o this_o be_v not_o ioram_n case_n he_o have_v no_o more_o than_o a_o providential_a right_o which_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o israel_n must_v give_v place_n to_o god_n anoint_v and_o therefore_o jehu_n be_v king_n of_o israel_n as_o soon_o as_o he_o be_v anoint_v and_o joram_n be_v his_o subject_n and_o this_o be_v athaliah_n case_n she_o take_v possession_n of_o the_o throne_n by_o very_o wicked_a mean_n but_o must_v be_v allow_v to_o be_v place_v there_o by_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n and_o if_o she_o have_v as_o through_o a_o settlement_n as_o other_o

of_o that_o tyrant_n antiochus_n be_v not_o then_o either_o general_o receive_v by_o submission_n nor_o settle_v by_o continuance_n though_o i_o can_v blame_v he_o for_o this_o because_o the_o author_n who_o he_o answer_v take_v no_o notice_n of_o it_o but_o i_o must_v blame_v he_o for_o affirm_v that_o the_o convocation_n say_v that_o when_o athaliah_n be_v full_o possess_v of_o the_o throne_n she_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v obey_v but_o to_o be_v resist_v and_o slay_v for_o they_o say_v no_o such_o thing_n and_o though_o he_o may_v imagine_v this_o to_o be_v the_o consequence_n of_o what_o they_o say_v he_o ought_v not_o therefore_o to_o affirm_v that_o they_o say_v it_o because_o he_o may_v mistake_v in_o his_o consequence_n and_o that_o he_o have_v do_v so_o shall_v present_o appear_v the_o convocation_n say_v not_o one_o word_n of_o the_o through_o settlement_n of_o athaliah_n in_o the_o throne_n but_o if_o we_o may_v learn_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o convocation_n as_o this_o author_n conclude_v we_o may_v from_o what_o bishop_n buckridge_n 27._o a_o member_n of_o that_o convocation_n have_v write_v in_o his_o defence_n of_o barclay_n they_o do_v not_o think_v she_o settle_v in_o the_o throne_n for_o when_o bellarmin_n have_v object_v the_o quiet_a possession_n of_o athaliah_n for_o six_o year_n the_o bishop_n as_o this_o author_n cite_v he_o answers_z how_o quiet_a soever_o it_o be_v it_o be_v violent_a for_o she_o be_v guard_v with_o soldier_n and_o affirm_v that_o athaliah_n have_v not_o acquire_v a_o right_n to_o the_o crown_n i_o suppose_v he_o mean_v only_o such_o a_o right_a as_o a_o thorough_a settlement_n give_v neither_o by_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n nor_o by_o the_o prescription_n of_o six_o year_n six_o year_n be_v not_o long_a enough_o for_o a_o prescription_n which_o he_o say_v must_v be_v a_o hundred_o year_n and_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n it_o seem_v she_o have_v not_o and_o therefore_o be_v a_o mere_a usurper_n and_o no_o queen_n she_o may_v be_v depose_v and_o thus_o his_o whole_a argument_n be_v lose_v and_o here_o i_o must_v observe_v that_o the_o bishop_n allow_v as_o the_o convocation_n do_v that_o either_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n or_o a_o long_a prescription_n give_v a_o right_a that_o be_v such_o a_o right_a as_o make_v obedience_n due_a to_o prince_n thus_o settle_v without_o a_o legal_a title_n and_o therefore_o our_o author_n great_o prevaricate_v when_o he_o pretend_v to_o give_v the_o bishop_n sense_n of_o a_o thorough_a settlement_n that_o be_v when_o a_o right_a to_o the_o government_n be_v acquire_v by_o a_o prescription_n and_o that_o be_v a_o long_a and_o uninterrupted_a possession_n join_v with_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n the_o bishop_n distinguish_v between_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n and_o a_o long_a prescription_n and_o say_v that_o either_o of_o they_o will_v give_v a_o right_n and_o our_o author_n though_o he_o pretend_v to_o give_v the_o bishop_n sense_n make_v both_o of_o they_o together_o necessary_a to_o give_v a_o right_n a_o long_a and_o uninterrupted_a possession_n which_o be_v what_o the_o bishop_n call_v prescription_n join_v with_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n so_o that_o he_o leave_v out_o neither_o and_o nor_o as_o insignificant_a particle_n and_o like_v with_o better_a as_o more_o agreeable_a to_o his_o design_n and_o at_o this_o rate_n he_o may_v make_v convocation_n and_o bishop_n speak_v his_o sense_n when_o he_o please_v but_o to_o gratify_v our_o author_n let_v we_o suppose_v the_o convocation_n do_v own_o athaliah_n to_o have_v be_v as_o thorough_o settle_v on_o the_o throne_n as_o any_o usurper_n can_v be_v while_o the_o right_a heir_n be_v live_v and_o then_o the_o consequence_n be_v that_o the_o convocation_n teach_v that_o king_n and_o queen_n de_fw-mi facto_fw-la who_o have_v all_o the_o settlement_n that_o can_v be_v have_v without_o right_o may_v be_v depose_v and_o murder_v by_o their_o subject_n and_o will_v this_o author_n say_v that_o this_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o convocation_n do_v they_o not_o express_o warn_v we_o against_o believe_v any_o person_n who_o shall_v affirm_v by_o all_o the_o argument_n which_o wit_n or_o learning_n can_v devise_v 55._o that_o god_n have_v call_v he_o to_o murder_n the_o king_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la under_o who_o he_o live_v it_o seem_v then_o the_o convocation_n make_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o case_n of_o athaliah_n and_o other_o king_n de_fw-la facto_fw-la who_o have_v no_o better_a title_n nor_o more_o through_o settlement_n than_o she_o have_v if_o they_o think_v she_o settle_v in_o the_o throne_n without_o which_o supposition_n our_o author_n argument_n be_v lose_v for_o they_o justify_v the_o kill_a athaliah_n 35._o and_o condemn_v the_o murder_n of_o a_o king_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la and_o this_o i_o give_v two_o account_n of_o in_o my_o case_n of_o allegiance_n 1._o all_o that_o this_o story_n amount_v to_o be_v no_o more_o than_o this_o that_o when_o the_o legal_a and_o rightful_a heir_n be_v actual_o possess_v of_o his_o throne_n subject_n may_v return_v to_o their_o allegiance_n and_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o their_o king_n prosecute_v the_o usurper_n for_o joash_n be_v first_o anoint_v and_o proclaim_v before_o any_o one_o stir_v a_o finger_n against_o athaliah_n now_o this_o be_v a_o very_a different_a case_n from_o raise_v a_o rebellion_n against_o a_o prince_n who_o be_v in_o possession_n of_o the_o throne_n to_o restore_v a_o eject_v prince_n 2._o but_o this_o be_v a_o peculiar_a case_n for_o god_n himself_o have_v entail_v the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n on_o the_o posterity_n of_o david_n and_o therefore_o nothing_o can_v justify_v their_o submission_n to_o a_o usurper_n when_o the_o king_n son_n be_v find_v to_o who_o the_o kingdom_n do_v belong_v by_o a_o divine_a entail_v 5._o and_o by_o this_o jehoiada_n justify_v what_o he_o do_v behold_v the_o king_n son_n shall_v reign_v as_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v of_o the_o son_n of_o david_n now_o when_o god_n have_v entail_v the_o crown_n by_o a_o express_a declaration_n of_o his_o will_n and_o nomination_n of_o the_o person_n or_o family_n that_o shall_v reign_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n subject_n be_v bind_v to_o adhere_v to_o their_o prince_n of_o god_n choose_n when_o he_o be_v know_v and_o to_o persecute_v all_o usurper_n to_o the_o utmost_a and_o never_o submit_v to_o their_o government_n but_o in_o other_o kingdom_n where_o god_n make_v king_n and_o entail_v the_o crown_n not_o by_o express_a nomination_n but_o by_o his_o providence_n the_o place_v a_o prince_n in_o the_o throne_n and_o settle_v he_o there_o in_o the_o full_a administration_n of_o the_o government_n be_v a_o reason_n to_o submit_v to_o he_o as_o to_o god_n ordinance_n this_o our_o author_n answer_v with_o great_a triumph_n in_o his_o postscript_n p._n 4_o 5._o but_o with_o how_o much_o reason_n i_o shall_v now_o examine_v and_o i_o must_v begin_v with_o his_o answer_n to_o the_o second_o this_o distinction_n that_o god_n himself_o have_v entail_v the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n upon_o david_n posterity_n he_o say_v be_v not_o in_o the_o convocation_n book_n and_o so_o do_v not_o affect_v their_o sense_n i_o grant_v it_o and_o therefore_o do_v not_o concern_v the_o convocation-book_n in_o the_o story_n nor_o make_v any_o mention_n of_o it_o but_o only_o raise_v this_o objection_n from_o the_o story_n and_o give_v that_o answer_n to_o it_o by_o which_o jehoiada_n the_o highpriest_n justify_v what_o he_o do_v for_o though_o the_o convocation_n take_v notice_n of_o this_o story_n yet_o they_o neither_o make_v nor_o answer_v this_o objection_n in_o direct_a term_n they_o have_v another_o design_n in_o mention_v it_o and_o fit_v their_o answer_n whole_o to_o that_o viz._n to_o prove_v against_o the_o papist_n 41._o that_o no_o priest_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n do_v ever_o depose_v from_o their_o crown_n any_o of_o their_o king_n how_o wicked_a soever_o or_o have_v any_o authority_n so_o to_o do_v and_o because_o this_o example_n of_o jehoiada_n use_v to_o be_v urge_v by_o they_o to_o this_o purpose_n they_o show_v that_o no_o such_o thing_n can_v be_v prove_v from_o it_o but_o though_o the_o convocation_n do_v not_o answer_v a_o question_n which_o they_o never_o propose_v yet_o this_o be_v a_o good_a answer_n to_o it_o and_o agreeable_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o convocation_n in_o that_o place_n for_o they_o take_v notice_n that_o jehoiada_n when_o he_o have_v send_v to_o the_o levite_n and_o chief_a father_n both_o of_o judah_n and_o benjamin_n acquaint_v they_o with_o the_o preservation_n of_o their_o prince_n and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n will_n that_o he_o shall_v reign_v over_o they_o which_o plain_o refer_v to_o that_o divine_a entail_v of_o the_o

as_o she_o and_o yet_o they_o justify_v and_o require_v obedience_n to_o they_o but_o justify_v the_o slay_v she_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o by_o a_o thorough_a settlement_n they_o

by_o his_o express_a nomination_n or_o entail_v though_o god_n may_v see_v fit_a sometime_o to_o set_v a_o providential_a king_n upon_o the_o throne_n yet_o whenever_o he_o nominate_v a_o new_a king_n
