A89562 A copy of a letter written by Mr. Stephen Marshall to a friend of his in the city, for the necessary vindication of himself and his ministry, against that altogether groundlesse, most unjust, and ungodly aspersion cast upon him by certaine malignants in the city, and lately printed at Oxford, in their Mendacium Aulicum, otherwise called Mercurius Aulicus, and sent abroad into other nations to his perpetuall infamy. In which letter the accusation is fully answered. And together with that, the lawfulnesse of the Parliaments taking up defensive arms is briefly and learnedly asserted and demonstrated, texts of Scripture cleared, all objections to the contrary answered, to the full satisfaction of all those that desire to have their consciences informed in this great controversie.; Plea for defensive arms. Marshall, Stephen, 1594?-1655. 1643 (1643) Wing M750; Thomason E102_10; ESTC R21572 25,726 33

by_o their_o aid_n of_o man_n and_o money_n their_o distress_a and_o oppress_a brethren_n and_o neighbour_n in_o the_o like_a case_n and_o now_o in_o our_o own_o sight_n both_o the_o king_n and_o

be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o popery_n be_v plain_a enough_o by_o their_o practice_n in_o their_o usual_a take_n of_o arm_n and_o not_o leave_v till_o they_o have_v compel_v their_o prince_n to_o ratify_v their_o privilege_n and_o charter_n which_o through_o ill_a counsellor_n they_o have_v infringe_v wadsworth_n and_o observable_a it_o be_v that_o because_o the_o bishop_n and_o clergy_n of_o those_o time_n see_v the_o prince_n go_v about_o to_o take_v down_o their_o pride_n they_o be_v ever_o the_o most_o forward_o to_o justify_v the_o proceed_n of_o the_o state_n and_o i_o suspect_v in_o

case_n of_o all_o subject_n in_o all_o kingdom_n to_o be_v alike_o that_o although_o as_o i_o touch_v before_o there_o be_v hardly_o two_o kingdom_n in_o the_o world_n but_o do_v differ_v in_o law_n custom_n and_o constitution_n bound_v the_o king_n authority_n and_o the_o subject_n obedience_n yet_o if_o any_o of_o these_o will_v change_v the_o the_o bound_n of_o his_o authority_n for_o instance_n if_o the_o king_n of_o denmark_n or_o sweden_n or_o polonia_n will_v invade_v the_o liberty_n of_o his_o subject_n and_o make_v himself_o as_o absolute_a not_o only_o as_o the_o king_n of_o

the_o subject_n of_o the_o one_o which_o will_v not_o let_v out_o other_o and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o will_v yield_v the_o cause_n if_o they_o say_v these_o king_n take_v their_o crown_n upon_o those_o term_n and_o the_o subject_n indent_v to_o have_v liberty_n of_o resistance_n in_o such_o case_n than_o they_o grant_v that_o where_o the_o law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n allow_v a_o liberty_n of_o resistance_n resistance_n may_v be_v use_v notwithstanding_o these_o text_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o we_o plead_v for_o if_o any_o people_n have_v covenant_v in_o no_o case_n to_o resist_v let_v they_o seek_v another_o answer_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n these_o text_n tie_v not_o those_o from_o resist_v by_o their_o own_o answer_n who_o have_v not_o tie_v themselves_o second_o i_o
