A52047	A plea for defensive armes, or, 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 ministerie, against that altogether groundlesse, most unjust and ungodly aspersion cast upon him by certain 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 perpetual infamie 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 armes	Marshall, Stephen, 1594?-1655.	1643 (1643)	Wing M768; ESTC R15835	25,154	32

church_n of_o england_n i_o must_v acknowledge_v this_o make_v i_o to_o think_v that_o the_o parliament_n have_v just_a cause_n to_o be_v jealous_a of_o great_a danger_n but_o when_o his_o majesty_n

beginning_n of_o these_o unhappy_a difference_n i_o have_v both_o learned_a and_o teach_v to_o this_o purpose_n first_o that_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o god_n will_n that_o in_o all_o country_n especial_o when_o and_o where_o the_o people_n be_v numerous_a magistracy_n be_v set_v up_o with_o a_o sufficiency_n of_o power_n and_o authority_n to_o rule_v for_o the_o public_a good_a and_o that_o even_o among_o they_o who_o be_v under_o the_o sceptre_n of_o christ_n against_o the_o anabaptist_n second_o that_o among_o the_o divers_a kind_n of_o lawful_a government_n monarchy_n aristocracy_n and_o democracy_n no_o one_o of_o they_o be_v so_o appoint_v of_o god_n as_o to_o exclude_v the_o other_o from_o be_v a_o lawful_a government_n three_o that_o the_o bound_n and_o limit_n of_o the_o magistrate_n lawful_a power_n of_o command_v and_o the_o subject_n necessary_a obey_v must_v be_v find_v and_o take_v out_o of_o the_o several_a law_n custom_n and_o constitution_n of_o those_o several_a state_n and_o commonwealth_n there_o be_v scarce_o two_o form_n especial_o of_o regal_a government_n in_o the_o world_n but_o they_o differ_v one_o from_o the_o other_o and_o that_o in_o matter_n of_o moment_n now_o i_o say_v what_o the_o power_n of_o magistrate_n in_o one_o country_n differ_v from_o the_o power_n of_o magistrate_n in_o another_o country_n and_o how_o the_o duty_n of_o subject_n differ_v in_o each_o must_v be_v find_v only_o in_o the_o law_n of_o the_o respective_a place_n that_o no_o man_n right_n must_v be_v detain_v from_o he_o that_o caesar_n shall_v have_v render_v to_o he_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v caesar_n and_o all_o people_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v their_o own_o the_o scripture_n and_o law_n of_o all_o nation_n do_v determine_v but_o whether_o for_o instance_n in_o england_n ship-money_n be_v the_o king_n right_a and_o so_o to_o be_v yield_v or_o deny_v whether_o this_o house_n or_o inheritance_n be_v this_o or_o the_o other_o pretender_n to_o it_o must_v not_o be_v determine_v by_o any_o law_n but_o by_o the_o law_n of_o england_n go_v therefore_o to_o the_o law_n and_o learned_a lawyer_n and_o from_o they_o alone_o you_o shall_v learn_v what_o be_v the_o prerogative_n of_o the_o prince_n and_o both_o the_o duty_n and_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_a but_o then_o fourthly_a come_v in_o religion_n or_o the_o command_n of_o god_n and_o bind_v the_o conscience_n of_o magistrate_n to_o rule_v and_o of_o subject_n to_o obey_v according_a to_o those_o law_n and_o five_o in_o particular_a of_o subject_n it_o require_v these_o four_o thing_n first_o to_o render_v to_o their_o governor_n next_o under_o god_n the_o great_a fear_n and_o honour_n as_o be_v god_n vicegerent_n as_o have_v the_o great_a beam_n of_o his_o

many_o and_o the_o shake_n of_o the_o earth_n round_o about_o they_o and_o all_o this_o we_o owe_v nor_o only_o to_o the_o king_n as_o supreme_a but_o in_o proportion_n to_o all_o inferior_a governor_n who_o be_v send_v by_o god_n also_o for_o the_o punishment_n of_o evil_a doer_n and_o for_o the_o praise_n of_o they_o that_o do_v well_o they_o be_v all_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n for_o
