event_n that_o ever_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o world_n have_v god_n authority_n respective_o annex_v to_o they_o for_o if_o it_o do_v follow_v that_o because_o providence_n and_o government_n do_v not_o signify_v permission_n that_o because_o god_n do_v not_o mere_o look_v on_o the_o affair_n of_o the_o world_n therefore_o whatever_o authority_n and_o power_n man_n snatch_v and_o

the_o first_o be_v murder_v and_o his_o son_n robe_v of_o his_o crown_n by_o god_n authority_n for_o providence_n and_o government_n signify_v the_o same_o in_o those_o day_n as_o they_o do_v now_o and_o i_o wonder_v what_o the_o people_n consent_n signify_v
according_a to_o the_o rule_n and_o standard_n of_o right_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n and_o the_o dr._n urge_v it_o to_o prove_v the_o unjustifiableness_n of_o act_v in_o the_o same_o manner_n in_o the_o like_a case_n in_o any_o other_o country_n at_o this_o rate_n the_o dr._n if_o he_o please_v may_v prove_v from_o the_o convocation_n that_o rebellion_n and_o resistance_n be_v lawful_a in_o other_o country_n though_o not_o in_o judah_n for_o the_o convocation_n refer_v to_o god_n entail_v when_o it_o speak_v of_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o jewish_a subject_n and_o therefore_o according_a to_o the_o dr._n king_n that_o be_v so_o by_o god_n entail_v must_v not_o be_v resist_v but_o king_n that_o be_v so_o by_o humane_a entail_v may_n and_o i_o wonder_v what_o reason_n he_o can_v give_v why_o the_o convocation_n when_o they_o speak_v of_o divine_a entail_v to_o justify_v the_o adhere_n to_o the_o lawful_a king_n and_o depose_v a_o usurper_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v any_o more_o in_o opposition_n to_o humane_a entail_v than_o when_o they_o speak_v of_o the_o very_a same_o to_o justify_v the_o duty_n of_o obedience_n and_o nonresistance_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v this_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o shameless_a fallacy_n and_o howsoever_o it_o may_v look_v in_o another_o it_o be_v not_o very_o pardonable_a in_o dr._n sherlock_n all_o that_o the_o dr._n prove_v be_v that_o the_o convocation_n and_o jehoiada_n himself_o when_o they_o justify_v his_o adhere_n to_o his_o rightful_a king_n and_o depose_v the_o usurper_n refer_v to_o the_o divine_a entail_v which_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o regal_a right_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n and_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o which_o he_o be_v the_o lawful_a king_n and_o the_o other_o a_o usurper_n and_o from_o hence_o will_v make_v his_o reader_n believe_v that_o they_o teach_v that_o in_o other_o kingdom_n where_o the_o entail_v of_o the_o crown_n be_v make_v by_o humane_a law_n the_o subject_n ought_v not_o to_o stand_v by_o the_o rightful_a king_n nor_o depose_v the_o usurper_n but_o stand_v by_o he_o and_o assist_v he_o against_o the_o rightful_a king_n which_o be_v a_o wild_a and_o extravagant_a as_o well_o as_o a_o sophistical_a conclusion_n and_o any_o man_n but_o the_o dr._n will_v conclude_v the_o direct_a contrary_n that_o because_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n the_o subject_n be_v bind_v to_o own_o their_o dispossess_v king_n and_o assist_v he_o in_o the_o recovery_n of_o his_o right_n and_o depose_v a_o usurper_n that_o wrongful_o possess_v his_o throne_n because_o god_n by_o entail_v have_v fix_v and_o settle_v the_o crown_n in_o one_o family_n and_o by_o that_o have_v make_v the_o right_n to_o the_o government_n to_o be_v in_o they_o therefore_o in_o other_o country_n because_o the_o law_n have_v entail_v and_o fix_v the_o crown_n in_o a_o certain_a family_n the_o subject_n be_v bind_v to_o do_v the_o same_o to_o their_o rightful_a king_n for_o though_o the_o entail_v be_v differ_v the_o reason_n and_o equity_n of_o both_o be_v the_o same_o the_o king_n of_o judah_n have_v a_o right_n to_o the_o government_n by_o divine_a entail_v and_o the_o king_n in_o other_o country_n by_o humane_a entail_v but_o they_o both_o have_v right_a and_o the_o law_n of_o do_v right_o be_v eternal_a and_o immutable_a however_o the_o fix_v and_o determine_v that_o right_o may_v be_v various_a and_o i_o believe_v the_o dr._n be_v the_o first_o that_o from_o hence_o make_v a_o negative_a argument_n for_o though_o there_o have_v be_v those_o who_o have_v say_v the_o example_n of_o government_n and_o obedience_n in_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o affect_v we_o because_o the_o polity_n and_o constitution_n of_o the_o jewish_a commonwealth_n be_v differ_v but_o to_o say_v that_o because_o the_o jew_n be_v bind_v to_o observe_v their_o law_n of_o government_n because_o they_o be_v appoint_v by_o god_n himself_o therefore_o the_o subject_n of_o other_o government_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o observe_v the_o law_n of_o their_o respective_a constitution_n be_v a_o strain_n beyond_o the_o moon_n and_o fit_v only_o for_o the_o dr._n when_o he_o maintain_v paradox_n upon_o the_o restoration_n of_o edw._n 4._o the_o parliament_n and_o kingdom_n do_v as_o jehoiada_n have_v do_v before_o they_o have_v recourse_n to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n which_o be_v the_o standard_n of_o the_o right_n to_o the_o crown_n and_o they_o do_v the_o same_o upon_o the_o legal_a entail_v as_o jehoiada_n do_v upon_o the_o divine_a entail_v they_o establish_v the_o rightful_a king_n and_o depose_v the_o usurper_n and_o i_o believe_v it_o be_v never_o question_v but_o they_o act_v as_o warrantable_o and_o justifiable_o as_o jehoiada_n though_o he_o do_v it_o by_o virtue_n of_o a_o divine_a entail_v and_o they_o by_o virtue_n of_o a_o humane_a entail_v but_o it_o must_v be_v confess_v that_o the_o drs._n distinction_n though_o it_o be_v

as_o the_o use_n he_o make_v of_o this_o distinction_n i_o have_v further_o say_v with_o respect_n to_o the_o convocation_n as_o the_o dr._n observe_v that_o they_o do_v not_o speak_v of_o this_o the_o distinctio_fw-la between_o divine_a and_o humane_a entail_v when_o they_o call_v athaliah_n a_o usurper_n and_o justify_v the_o proceed_n of_o jehoiada_n and_o the_o people_n against_o she_o but_o the_o reason_n they_o give_v be_v general_a the_o right_a heir_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v alive_a which_o extend_v to_o all_o kingdom_n that_o be_v entail_v and_o go_v by_o succession_n to_o this_o the_o dr._n reply_v that_o i_o make_v very_o bold_a with_o the_o convocation_n for_o say_v he_o they_o do_v not_o offer_v to_o justify_v the_o proceed_n of_o jehoiada_n and_o the_o people_n against_o athaliah_n by_o say_v that_o the_o right_a heir_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v alive_a but_o only_o prove_v by_o that_o she_o be_v a_o usurper_n who_o have_v no_o legal_a right_n to_o the_o

to_o he_o that_o possess_v it_o for_o he_o say_v that_o they_o prove_v from_o the_o right_a heir_n be_v live_v that_o athaliah_n be_v a_o usurper_n and_o have_v no_o legal_a right_n to_o the_o
