1._o the_o late_a author_n of_o the_o original_a and_o end_n of_o civil_a power_n under_o the_o name_n of_o eutactus_fw-la philodemius_fw-la have_v think_v fit_a to_o question_v two_o thing_n set_v down_o by_o doctor_n hammond_n in_o his_o address_n to_o the_o general_n and_o counsel_n of_o war_n 5._o the_o first_o be_v this_o affirmation_n that_o the_o jew_n under_o god_n own_o government_n may_v whole_o give_v up_o himself_o and_o his_o freedom_n to_o his_o master_n will_v the_o power_n of_o life_n be_v only_o exempt_v and_o by_o have_v his_o ear_n bore_v may_v of_o a_o freeman_n become_v a_o slave_n for_o ever_o 2._o the_o second_o be_v this_o question_n whether_o ever_o any_o man_n be_v by_o god_n or_o nature_n invest_v with_o power_n over_o his_o own_o life_n i_o e._n 18._o to_o take_v away_o his_o own_o life_n or_o to_o kill_v himself_o 3._o this_o affirmation_n and_o this_o question_n he_o willing_o acknowledge_v and_o be_v content_a that_o the_o question_n shall_v be_v interpret_v a_o downright_a negation_n that_o never_o any_o man_n be_v by_o god_n or_o nature_n invest_v with_o power_n over_o his_o own_o life_n or_o power_n to_o kill_v himself_o and_o have_v thus_o confess_v the_o citation_n as_o far_o as_o concern_v he_o it_o remain_v that_o i_o proceed_v to_o justify_v both_o part_n of_o it_o and_o to_o that_o end_n i_o shall_v think_v myself_o sufficient_o fortify_v by_o two_o advantage_n which_o that_o author_n have_v be_v please_v to_o allow_v i_o in_o this_o matter_n 4._o first_o that_o it_o be_v not_o any_o opinion_n of_o doctor_n hammond_n but_o the_o plain_a word_n of_o scripture_n which_o be_v under_o his_o name_n thus_o oppose_v by_o this_o author_n in_o both_o place_n the_o former_a be_v in_fw-la terminis_fw-la exodus_fw-la 21._o at_o the_o beginning_n if_o the_o servant_n shall_v plain_o say_v i_o love_v my_o master_n etc._n etc._n i_o will_v not_o go_v out_o free_a then_o his_o master_n shall_v bring_v he_o to_o the_o judge_n etc._n etc._n and_o his_o master_n shall_v bore_v his_o ear_n thorough_a with_o a_o awl_n and_o he_o shall_v serve_v he_o for_o ever_o and_o again_o deut._n 15.16_o and_o it_o shall_v be_v if_o he_o i._n e._n the_o servant_n set_v free_a at_o the_o sabbatic_a year_n say_v unto_o thou_o i_o will_v not_o go_v away_o from_o thou_o etc._n etc._n then_o thou_o shall_v take_v a_o awl_n and_o thrust_v it_o through_o his_o ear_n unto_o the_o door_n and_o he_o shall_v be_v thy_o servant_n for_o ever_o and_o also_o to_o thy_o handmaid_n thou_o shall_v do_v likewise_o 5._o that_o a_o plain_a place_n of_o scripture_n shall_v be_v thus_o mistake_v for_o a_o assertion_n of_o doctor_n hammond_n i_o be_o not_o permit_v to_o suspect_v because_o that_o author_n have_v to_o his_o mention_n of_o the_o doctor_n name_v add_v the_o testimony_n of_o gen._n 21._o which_o though_o it_o be_v a_o mistake_n i_o suppose_v of_o the_o printer_n for_o ex._n 21._o will_v yet_o be_v a_o competent_a testimony_n of_o that_o author_n opinion_n that_o doctor_n hammond_n have_v moses_n on_o his_o side_n and_o consequent_o that_o both_o be_v to_o be_v involve_v by_o he_o in_o the_o same_o condemnation_n 6._o the_o same_o i_o suppose_v i_o may_v assume_v of_o the_o other_o negation_n question_v by_o he_o that_o it_o be_v in_o doctor_n hammond_n but_o the_o repeat_n of_o the_o 6._o commandment_n thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v according_a to_o the_o latitude_n wherein_o all_o jewish_a and_o christian_a writer_n have_v interpret_v it_o to_o the_o prohibition_n of_o self-murder_n as_o have_v be_v show_v by_o he_o at_o large_a in_o another_o place_n 5._o 7._o have_v mention_v this_o first_o advantage_n against_o this_o author_n sufficient_a certain_o to_o secure_v doctor_n hammond_n from_o his_o blame_n and_o to_o make_v any_o apology_n for_o he_o unnecessary_a and_o well-nigh_o scandalous_a the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v able_a to_o plead_v its_o own_o cause_n without_o the_o assistance_n of_o any_o human_a advocate_n i_o have_v yet_o the_o benefit_n of_o a_o second_o kindness_n allow_v i_o by_o this_o unknown_a adversary_n which_o though_o scripture_n be_v not_o of_o authority_n with_o he_o will_v encourage_v the_o doctor_n not_o to_o fear_v the_o fall_n under_o his_o displeasure_n that_o be_v the_o unreconcileableness_n of_o those_o two_o opinion_n the_o one_o with_o the_o other_o which_o he_o be_v please_v to_o confront_v to_o doctor_n hammond_n viz._n that_o it_o shall_v be_v unlawful_a for_o a_o jew_n to_o give_v up_o his_o freedom_n and_o that_o servitude_n shall_v be_v as_o he_o call_v it_o a_o unnatural_a servitude_n and_o yet_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v put_v in_o his_o power_n by_o god_n and_o nature_n for_o that_o be_v to_o affirm_v it_o lawful_a and_o agreeable_a to_o nature_n to_o take_v away_o his_o own_o life_n or_o to_o kill_v himself_o for_o it_o be_v by_o job_n mention_v as_o a_o aphorism_n of_o common_a nature_n that_o a_o man_n will_v for_o his_o life_n give_v all_o he_o have_v and_o in_o the_o account_n and_o practice_n of_o all_o man_n that_o of_o liberty_n be_v part_n of_o that_o all_o it_o will_v consequent_o be_v unreasonable_a and_o impossible_a for_o he_o that_o have_v once_o affirm_v the_o part_n with_o one_o freedom_n to_o be_v a_o unnatural_a servitude_n to_o deny_v the_o kill_n of_o himself_o to_o be_v a_o unnatural_a murder_n and_o therefore_o have_v so_o fair_a advantage_n before_o i_o not_o only_o the_o scripture_n in_fw-la terminis_fw-la on_o my_o side_n but_o this_o adversary_n by_o so_o easy_a a_o consequence_n become_v my_o second_o also_o i_o be_o not_o unwilling_o persuade_v to_o tender_v a_o brief_a reply_n to_o those_o reason_n which_o seem_v to_o have_v draw_v this_o author_n into_o this_o casual_a dispute_n and_o to_o endeavour_v the_o prevent_n of_o those_o error_n to_o which_o a_o philodemius_fw-la or_o popular_a disputer_n may_v in_o such_o a_o age_n of_o licentiousness_n betray_v other_o 8._o to_o the_o case_n of_o the_o jewish_a servant_n give_v up_o his_o freedom_n to_o his_o master_n which_o be_v by_o the_o doctor_n mention_v out_o of_o moses_n the_o author_n have_v frame_v three_o answer_n 9_o the_o first_o that_o it_o can_v be_v affirm_v upon_o good_a and_o pregnant_a ground_n that_o from_o nature_n the_o jew_n have_v any_o such_o power_n but_o that_o god_n only_o permit_v it_o to_o be_v so_o and_o the_o jew_n by_o this_o unnatural_a servitude_n to_o his_o master_n be_v a_o fit_a type_n of_o that_o slavery_n that_o man_n shall_v be_v in_o unto_o sin_n to_o obey_v it_o in_o the_o lust_n thereof_o for_o his_o servant_n we_o be_v who_o we_o obey_v 10._o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o affirmation_n of_o moses_n in_o the_o scripture_n that_o this_o be_v permit_v by_o god_n to_o the_o jew_n be_v to_o i_o a_o good_a and_o pregnant_a ground_n that_o the_o jew_n have_v this_o power_n under_o god_n own_o government_n which_o be_v all_o that_o he_o affirm_v to_o be_v affirm_v by_o doctor_n hammond_n in_o that_o place_n and_o therefore_o the_o put_n in_o those_o other_o word_n of_o the_o jew_n not_o have_v it_o from_o nature_n seem_v to_o be_v on_o purpose_n design_v to_o take_v off_o from_o the_o clearness_n and_o the_o pregnancy_n of_o the_o probation_n and_o so_o only_o to_o darken_v but_o not_o to_o invalidate_v the_o argument_n 11._o but_o than_o second_o i_o add_v that_o god_n permit_v any_o thing_n to_o any_o man_n be_v a_o pregnant_a argument_n that_o from_o nature_n that_o man_n have_v that_o power_n if_o by_o power_n we_o mean_v a_o moral_a power_n or_o power_n of_o do_v it_o without_o sin_n and_o if_o by_o god_n permission_n we_o understand_v his_o approbation_n as_o of_o a_o lawful_a fact_n for_o thus_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n never_o so_o permit_v as_o to_o approve_v or_o not_o prohibit_v any_o thing_n which_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n may_v not_o be_v do_v without_o sin_n for_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v the_o law_n of_o god_n as_o true_o as_o any_o positive_a law_n of_o his_o promulgate_a and_o god_n in_o all_o his_o law_n be_v constant_a to_o himself_o so_o far_o as_o never_o to_o prohibit_v and_o permit_v the_o same_o thing_n at_o the_o same_o time_n

to_o the_o same_o man_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o what_o god_n thus_o permit_v nature_n permit_v also_o i_o e._n leave_v it_o lawful_a to_o be_v do_v or_o possible_a without_o sin_n 12._o but_o if_o by_o permission_n this_o author_n mean_v no_o more_o than_o dispensation_n or_o grant_v of_o present_a impunity_n such_o as_o in_o the_o jewish_a commonwealth_n be_v for_o the_o hardness_n of_o their_o heart_n allow_v in_o the_o business_n of_o divorce_n or_o for_o the_o multiply_n of_o they_o in_o polygamy_n than_o it_o will_v sure_o rest_v upon_o he_o to_o prove_v and_o not_o only_o as_o he_o say_v to_o suppose_v that_o god_n thus_o and_o thus_o only_o permit_v it_o to_o be_v so_o but_o this_o i_o shall_v suppose_v impossible_a to_o be_v prove_v though_o it_o can_v lie_v upon_o i_o to_o demonstrate_v the_o negative_a nor_o shall_v i_o so_o much_o fear_v the_o probableness_n of_o his_o unproved_a groundless_a supposition_n as_o to_o endeavour_v it_o for_o indeed_o what_o degree_n of_o likeness_n be_v there_o betwixt_o those_o divorce_n and_o polygamy_n which_o be_v such_o inordinate_a liberty_n and_o this_o other_o of_o devest_v himself_o of_o liberty_n only_o the_o same_o that_o be_v betwixt_o two_o contrary_n 13._o i_o shall_v not_o need_v further_o to_o insist_v on_o this_o both_o for_o the_o plain_a word_n of_o scripture_n and_o because_o it_o be_v the_o acknowledgement_n of_o this_o very_a author_n page_n 18._o that_o this_o may_v lawful_o be_v do_v for_o the_o obtain_n of_o a_o great_a good_a which_o be_v compare_v with_o rom._n 3._o ver._n 8._o make_v up_o a_o demonstration_n that_o a_o man_n have_v this_o power_n i_o e._n that_o he_o may_v lawful_o do_v it_o for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o intuition_n of_o the_o great_a moral_n good_a much_o less_o of_o the_o great_a advantage_n to_o myself_o or_o any_o other_o that_o may_v make_v that_o lawful_a which_o in_o itself_o be_v unlawful_a or_o which_o by_o nature_n man_n have_v not_o power_n to_o do_v 14._o and_o therefore_o when_o he_o add_v that_o in_o this_o the_o jew_n be_v a_o fit_a type_n of_o man_n slavery_n to_o sin_n as_o it_o will_v be_v easy_o grant_v that_o he_o be_v as_o type_n signify_v image_n or_o emblem_n so_o sure_o it_o will_v not_o prove_v that_o this_o servitude_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v a_o unnatural_a servitude_n any_o more_o than_o any_o other_o part_n of_o the_o judaical_a law_n which_o either_o in_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o lawgiver_n or_o by_o the_o wit_n of_o man_n can_v be_v make_v a_o image_n of_o any_o present_a state_n or_o condition_n of_o man_n can_v by_o that_o one_o argument_n be_v prove_v to_o be_v unnatural_a for_o sure_o all_o type_n be_v not_o by_o that_o one_o evidence_n of_o their_o be_v type_n demonstrate_v to_o be_v sinful_a especial_o when_o they_o be_v institute_v or_o permit_v by_o god_n and_o by_o that_o appear_v to_o be_v agreeable_a to_o his_o will_n in_o opposition_n to_o or_o variation_n from_o which_o all_o sin_n or_o obliquity_n consist_v or_o if_o this_o charge_n must_v fall_v single_o on_o this_o type_n but_o not_o on_o all_o other_o as_o sure_a the_o passover_n which_o be_v a_o type_n be_v not_o yet_o unnatural_a and_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n then_o must_v this_o charge_n be_v prove_v by_o some_o other_o medium_n then_o by_o this_o only_a that_o it_o be_v a_o type_n and_o till_o that_o be_v produce_v i_o must_v think_v this_o way_n of_o discourse_n which_o first_o suppose_v this_o give_n up_o of_o the_o jew_n liberty_n to_o be_v a_o type_n and_o then_o conclude_v it_o unnatural_a for_o be_v such_o to_o be_v the_o prove_n of_o quidlibet_fw-la ex_fw-la quolibet_fw-la the_o same_o with_o he_o which_o first_o suppose_v a_o live_a man_n to_o be_v a_o picture_n and_o then_o send_v he_o a_o challenge_n for_o be_v such_o certain_o such_o reason_n be_v too_o very_o loose_a and_o light_n to_o set_v any_o good_a character_n on_o that_o cause_n that_o want_v such_o supporter_n 15._o his_o

for_o his_o contempt_n of_o that_o liberty_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v sufficient_o know_v that_o this_o bore_n of_o the_o ear_n be_v the_o ceremony_n of_o receive_v a_o servant_n among_o the_o jew_n
