the_o people_n that_o give_v a_o right_a to_o obedience_n even_o a_o tacit_n
to_o this_o i_o answer_v this_o be_v no_o answer_n to_o the_o main_a point_n the_o question_n be_v whether_o in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o convocation_n a_o thorough_a settlement_n by_o what_o mean_v soever_o attain_v do_v not_o oblige_v the_o subject_n of_o judah_n to_o obedience_n as_o much_o as_o in_o any_o other_o country_n and_o though_o contrary_a to_o the_o entail_v on_o david_n posterity_n and_o it_o be_v plain_a they_o think_v so_o for_o they_o urge_v the_o very_a same_o duty_n of_o obedience_n and_o nonresistance_n to_o the_o babylonian_n and_o the_o roman_n as_o they_o do_v to_o the_o king_n of_o david_n family_n the_o babylonian_n and_o roman_n when_o their_o government_n be_v thorough_o settle_v among_o they_o their_o authority_n be_v as_o sacred_a and_o irresistible_a as_o joash_n or_o any_o other_o of_o their_o king_n who_o be_v so_o by_o the_o divine_a entail_v and_o let_v the_o dr._n if_o he_o can_v show_v i_o any_o one_o duty_n of_o subject_n which_o they_o require_v as_o due_a to_o the_o king_n of_o judah_n by_o the_o divine_a entail_v which_o they_o do_v not_o also_o require_v as_o equal_o due_a to_o the_o babylonian_n and_o roman_n which_o be_v clear_a to_o a_o demonstration_n that_o they_o think_v of_o no_o such_o difference_n in_o this_o matter_n but_o that_o a_o thorough_a settlement_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o every_o way_n as_o valid_a as_o in_o any_o other_o country_n and_o the_o inference_n be_v plain_a that_o therefore_o whatever_o possession_n of_o power_n athaliah_n have_v and_o whatever_o submission_n there_o be_v of_o the_o people_n to_o she_o afore_o that_o the_o dr._n be_v resolve_v to_o suppose_v they_o do_v not_o mean_a that_o to_o be_v the_o thorough_a settlement_n

and_o slay_v of_o athaliah_n but_o to_o this_o which_o be_v the_o main_a question_n the_o dr._n say_v not_o one_o word_n and_o all_o that_o he_o say_v be_v that_o when_o they_o be_v at_o their_o own_o

himself_o can_v bind_v they_o and_o what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o the_o convocation_n speak_v of_o a_o thorough_a settlement_n without_o any_o respect_n to_o the_o difference_n between_o divine_a

he_o be_v for_o distinguish_v between_o divine_a and_o humane_a entail_v and_o athaliah_n may_v be_v depose_v and_o slay_v because_o she_o be_v a_o usurper_n against_o a_o divine_a entail_v and_o her_o government_n be_v a_o nullity_n when_o the_o right_a heir_n appear_v when_o he_o be_v press_v with_o the_o instance_n of_o the_o babylonian_n and_o roman_n who_o according_a to_o he_o be_v

they_o be_v oblige_v to_o take_v the_o king_n by_o god_n entail_v when_o under_o force_n god_n entail_v do_v not_o bind_v they_o so_o that_o this_o last_o distinction_n have_v eat_v up_o the_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

then_o i_o doubt_v half_a the_o former_a part_n of_o his_o book_n will_v come_v to_o nothing_o for_o i_o have_v assert_v that_o all_o the_o government_n the_o convocation_n require_v and_o justify_v

himself_o king_n whether_o god_n will_v or_o no._n this_o i_o have_v apply_v to_o athaliah_n and_o say_v if_o all_o king_n then_o sure_o athaliah_n among_o the_o rest_n and_o i_o only_o suppose_v
