in_o some_o case_n he_o may_v lawful_o defend_v himself_o by_o force_n reason_n first_o because_o the_o gospel_n do_v not_o abolish_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n nor_o the_o positive_a law_n of_o all_o

these_o case_n first_o when_o violence_n offer_v be_v so_o sudden_a and_o unexpected_a that_o when_o it_o come_v there_o can_v be_v no_o escape_n either_o by_o yield_v or_o by_o fly_v or_o by_o some_o

hope_n of_o his_o come_n in_o this_o case_n god_n put_v the_o sword_n into_o the_o private_a man_n hand_n four_o when_o the_o defence_n be_v just_o and_o do_v in_o a_o right_a manner_n a_o just_a defence_n stand_v in_o these_o thing_n i._o it_o must_v be_v do_v incontinent_a and_o forthwith_o so_o soon_o as_o ever_o violence_n be_v offer_v for_o if_o there_o be_v delay_n and_o it_o come_v afterward_o it_o lose_v the_o name_n of_o a_o just_a defence_n and_o become_v a_o revenge_n arise_v of_o prepense_a malice_n as_o the_o lawyer_n use_v to_o speak_v ii_o there_o must_v be_v a_o intention_n not_o to_o revenge_v principal_o or_o to_o kill_v but_o only_o to_o defend_v himself_o iii_o there_o must_v be_v a_o just_a and_o equal_a proportion_n of_o weapon_n therefore_o it_o be_v no_o just_a defence_n to_o shoot_v a_o naked_a man_n through_o with_o a_o musket_n or_o other_o piece_n of_o ordinance_n when_o he_o offer_v violence_n v._o case_n whether_o a_o man_n may_v rescue_v himself_o or_o other_o by_o combat_n ans._n it_o have_v be_v of_o ancient_a time_n a_o usual_a manner_n of_o defence_n in_o some_o country_n that_o in_o case_n of_o difference_n between_o people_n and_o people_n in_o matter_n of_o weight_n two_o man_n shall_v be_v choose_v out_o among_o the_o rest_n who_o by_o fight_a hand_n to_o hand_n and_o kill_v one_o a_o other_o shall_v end_v the_o controversy_n but_o this_o way_n of_o defence_n how_o ancient_a so_o ever_o it_o be_v be_v utter_o unlawful_a reason_n be_v these_o first_o it_o be_v the_o express_a commandment_n of_o god_n thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v in_o which_o all_o private_a man_n be_v forbid_v to_o kill_v or_o slay_v but_o in_o the_o case_n of_o just_a and_o necessary_a defence_n second_o we_o may_v not_o hazard_v our_o life_n without_o some_o special_a warrant_n from_o god_n if_o we_o do_v it_o be_v a_o flat_a tempt_a of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v do_v in_o every_o combat_n three_o if_o magistrate_n will_v permit_v such_o fight_n as_o this_o be_v than_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o defend_v and_o save_v the_o life_n of_o the_o innocent_a for_o by_o such_o permission_n oftentimes_o innocent_a blood_n be_v shed_v and_o the_o more_o harmless_a party_n go_v by_o the_o worst_a but_o it_o will_v be_v and_o be_v object_v first_o that_o a_o combat_n be_v a_o trial_n of_o innocence_n ans._n it_o be_v not_o so_o for_o he_o that_o be_v strong_a usual_o overcome_v in_o the_o combat_n not_o he_o that_o have_v the_o more_o righteous_a cause_n again_o there_o be_v other_o mean_n to_o try_v a_o truth_n beside_o this_o as_o by_o examination_n and_o by_o oath_n last_o trial_n by_o the_o combat_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o the_o trial_n of_o a_o murderer_n by_o the_o bleed_a of_o a_o corpse_n touch_v or_o handle_v which_o be_v very_o doubtful_a and_o of_o all_o other_o most_o uncertain_a second_o it_o be_v allege_v that_o if_o a_o man_n take_v not_o a_o challenge_n he_o be_v disgrace_v for_o ever_o ans._n there_o be_v no_o warrant_n in_o god_n word_n for_o a_o private_a man_n to_o accept_v a_o challenge_n nay_o it_o be_v rather_o flat_a against_o the_o word_n for_o god_n say_v revenge_n be_v i_o the_o private_a man_n say_v the_o contrary_a the_o wrong_n be_v i_o and_o i_o will_v be_v avenge_v of_o he_o that_o have_v do_v it_o again_o it_o be_v better_a for_o any_o man_n to_o endure_v a_o little_a reproach_n with_o some_o man_n then_o to_o loose_v or_o hazard_v his_o life_n three_o it_o be_v object_v that_o the_o philistines_n offer_v to_o try_v the_o victory_n by_o a_o single_a combat_n with_o the_o israelite_n and_o appoint_v goliath_n on_o their_o side_n to_o give_v the_o challenge_n and_o that_o david_n on_o the_o israelite_n side_n accept_v the_o challenge_n encounter_v with_o he_o and_o have_v good_a success_n it_o may_v seem_v therefore_o that_o combat_n be_v lawful_a for_o it_o be_v better_a that_o one_o man_n shall_v perish_v in_o war_n then_o that_o a_o whole_a army_n shall_v miscarry_v ans._n that_o be_v a_o special_a and_o extraordinary_a example_n of_o trial_n and_o david_n be_v a_o champion_n in_o that_o fight_n not_o by_o ordinary_a appointment_n but_o by_o extraordinary_a prophetical_a instinct_n of_o god_n spirit_n again_o in_o war_n though_o there_o be_v less_o danger_n in_o hazard_v one_o man_n life_n than_o a_o whole_a army_n yet_o a_o good_a &_o just_a cause_n be_v to_o be_v maintain_v with_o all_o the_o strength_n that_o may_v be_v make_v and_o not_o to_o depend_v upon_o the_o power_n and_o courage_n of_o one_o man_n who_o in_o probability_n unless_o he_o be_v support_v by_o special_a call_n and_o assistance_n from_o god_n may_v be_v overcome_v and_o loose_v the_o victory_n four_o it_o be_v allege_v that_o a_o army_n may_v fight_v against_o a_o army_n therefore_o one_o man_n against_o a_o other_o ans._n the_o reason_n be_v not_o alike_o for_o war_n and_o army_n be_v god_n ordinance_n and_o so_o be_v not_o combat_n and_o it_o be_v not_o god_n will_v that_o man_n shall_v devise_v and_o establish_v new_a way_n and_o mean_n of_o trial_n not_o allow_v by_o his_o word_n but_o rather_o rest_v content_a with_o that_o he_o have_v appoint_v five_o jonas_n do_v hazard_v his_o life_n by_o cast_v lot_n therefore_o a_o man_n may_v by_o combat_n answ._n to_o say_v that_o jonas_n do_v put_v his_o life_n in_o hazard_n by_o lot_n be_v a_o untruth_n for_o there_o be_v only_o a_o conjectural_a trial_n make_v who_o shall_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o present_a danger_n and_o when_o the_o lot_n fall_v upon_o he_o he_o be_v not_o cast_v into_o the_o sea_n by_o the_o lot_n but_o by_o his_o own_o advice_n and_o counsel_n again_o the_o cast_n of_o jonas_n
