at_o your_o leisure_n the_o ensue_a story_n do_v manifest_o prove_v it_o beginning_n at_o the_o 12._o verse_n etc._n etc._n so_o again_o judge_n 4._o the_o whole_a chapter_n be_v a_o story_n to_o this_o purpose_n this_o be_v clear_a also_o in_o the_o example_n of_o gideon_n who_o deliver_v israel_n from_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o midianite_n the_o story_n be_v in_o the_o 6._o and_o 7._o chap._n of_o judge_n it_o be_v clear_a also_o by_o the_o example_n of_o jeptha_n who_o deliver_v israel_n from_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o ammonite_n judge_n the_o 19_o and_o 11._o chapter_n so_o much_o in_o brief_n may_v be_v say_v concern_v absolute_a conquest_n and_o now_o i_o hope_v they_o will_v take_v heed_n how_o they_o say_v we_o be_v absolute_o conquer_v then_o for_o the_o other_o and_o that_o be_v conditional_a conquest_n so_o say_v they_o we_o be_v conquer_a and_o it_o be_v not_o deny_v that_o be_v to_o say_v when_o william_n the_o conqueror_n invade_v the_o land_n we_o be_v content_a to_o submit_v ourselves_o unto_o he_o for_o the_o prevention_n of_o blood_n shed_v and_o destruction_n that_o otherwise_o may_v have_v ensue_v to_o serve_v he_o as_o our_o liege_n lord_n and_o sovereign_a so_o that_o he_o will_v promise_v to_o govern_v we_o according_a to_o these_o and_o these_o law_n and_o custom_n to_o which_o covenant_n he_o consent_v as_o all_o the_o king_n of_o england_n have_v do_v since_o and_o so_o we_o be_v become_v not_o his_o slave_n to_o be_v destroy_v at_o his_o pleasure_n but_o his_o subject_n have_v swear_v he_o and_o his_o successor_n allegiance_n upon_o these_o condition_n if_o this_o be_v so_o then_o here_o we_o plain_o see_v we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o submit_v to_o the_o king_n will_v and_o pleasure_n in_o all_o his_o command_n but_o only_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o he_o command_v according_a to_o his_o law_n which_o be_v the_o condition_n upon_o which_o we_o swear_v he_o allegiance_n and_o become_v his_o subject_n therefore_o if_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o covenant_n be_v break_v and_o instead_o of_o govern_v his_o people_n by_o his_o law_n he_o rule_v they_o as_o he_o listen_v according_a to_o his_o will_n and_o pleasure_n be_v it_o not_o manifest_a that_o the_o king_n do_v absolve_v his_o subject_n from_o their_o allegiance_n nor_o be_v they_o any_o long_o legal_o bind_v to_o obey_v he_o for_o this_o every_o one_o know_v that_o when_o the_o condition_n whereby_o the_o covenant_n be_v tie_v to_o each_o party_n be_v break_v the_o covenant_n itself_o by_o virtue_n thereof_o be_v quite_o dissolve_v or_o at_o least_o dissolvable_a at_o the_o party_n pleasure_n with_o who_o the_o covenant_n be_v make_v by_o this_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o king_n be_v as_o much_o bind_v to_o the_o subject_n as_o the_o subject_n to_o the_o king_n and_o that_o in_o this_o case_n the_o subject_n may_v make_v lawful_a resistance_n to_o recover_v their_o undoubted_a liberty_n and_o privilege_n and_o yet_o not_o be_v term_v rebel_n against_o their_o prince_n for_o none_o but_o they_o only_o can_v be_v call_v or_o esteem_v such_o as_o violate_v their_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n which_o we_o do_v not_o if_o the_o king_n break_v with_o we_o his_o covenant_n whereby_o he_o have_v bind_v himself_o to_o we_o and_o upon_o performance_n whereof_o we_o swear_v he_o allegiance_n but_o now_o beside_o all_o that_o have_v be_v say_v let_v we_o a_o little_a look_n into_o the_o foul_a absurdity_n that_o follow_v upon_o this_o tenant_n that_o people_n must_v so_o submit_v themselves_o unto_o their_o king_n as_o either_o to_o obey_v their_o command_n though_o never_o so_o unlawful_a or_o else_o to_o suffer_v whatsoever_o they_o shall_v inflict_v upon_o they_o and_o not_o to_o take_v up_o defensive_a arm_n against_o they_o but_o in_o case_n their_o king_n come_v against_o they_o in_o a_o hostile_a manner_n seek_v their_o destruction_n all_o that_o they_o must_v do_v say_v they_o be_v to_o run_v away_o from_o they_o but_o say_v they_o do_v so_o they_o may_v so_o follow_v and_o pursue_v their_o people_n or_o encompass_v they_o in_o that_o they_o can_v be_v able_a to_o run_v no_o further_o so_o that_o then_o they_o must_v either_o perforce_o stand_v upon_o their_o defence_n or_o submit_v themselves_o unto_o their_o mercy_n why_o i_o say_v they_o so_o they_o must_v all_o the_o weapon_n they_o must_v use_v in_o this_o case_n be_v prayer_n and_o tear_n so_o that_o then_o if_o nero_n like_v they_o shall_v wish_v that_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o their_o people_n be_v but_o one_o neck_n that_o he_o may_v cut_v they_o off_o at_o one_o blow_n they_o must_v as_o we_o say_v lay_v their_o neck_n upon_o the_o block_n and_o submit_v themselves_o to_o their_o own_o destruction_n and_o so_o now_o consequent_o it_o follow_v be_v their_o king_n never_o so_o great_a tyrant_n not_o only_o over_o their_o body_n but_o over_o their_o soul_n too_o as_o the_o case_n may_v be_v they_o may_v set_v up_o popery_n and_o

of_o all_o the_o outward_a happiness_n and_o comfort_n of_o their_o life_n and_o also_o as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v prostitute_v their_o soul_n to_o utter_v ruin_n by_o deny_v they_o the_o

then_o indeed_o we_o be_v behold_v only_o to_o the_o king_n good_a nature_n for_o every_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v and_o do_v enjoy_v and_o not_o at_o all_o unto_o the_o law_n and_o that_o will_v

of_o god_n and_o to_o govern_v they_o according_a thereunto_o and_o then_o it_o follow_v they_o make_v he_o king_n and_o jehojada_n and_o his_o son_n anoint_v he_o and_o say_v god_n save_o the_o

that_o therefore_o king_n be_v accountable_a to_o none_o save_o god_n for_o their_o action_n for_o you_o see_v how_o the_o word_n follow_v one_o another_o and_o what_o may_v be_v say_v of_o king_n

further_o say_v of_o david_n if_o he_o have_v not_o have_v a_o purpose_n to_o have_v resist_v saul_n in_o case_n of_o exigency_n and_o extremity_n what_o do_v he_o with_o 600._o man_n about_o he_o he_o may_v have_v flee_v from_o saul_n when_o he_o be_v come_v towards_o he_o without_o such_o a_o train_n and_o guard_n of_o man_n attend_v he_o and_o so_o have_v save_v himself_o without_o they_o

death_n a_o host_n like_o the_o host_n of_o god_n and_o what_o be_v all_o this_o preparation_n and_o assistance_n for_o nothing_o one_o more_o example_n i_o will_v bring_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n and_o that_o be_v of_o king_n vzziah_n 2_o chron._n 26_o 16._o who_o encroach_v upon_o the_o office_n of_o the_o priest_n and_o will_v take_v upon_o he_o to_o offer_v incense_n in_o the_o temple_n of_o the_o lord_n contrary_a to_o the_o express_a commandment_n of_o god_n whereupon_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o 17._o verse_n that_o azariah_n the_o priest_n go_v in_o after_o he_o and_o with_o he_o fourscore_o priest_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v valiant_a man_n and_o they_o withstand_v vzziah_n the_o king_n and_o say_v unto_o he_o it_o pertain_v not_o to_o thou_o vzziah_n to_o burn_v

neither_o shall_v it_o be_v for_o thy_o honour_n from_o the_o lord_n god_n then_o vzziah_n be_v wroth_a and_o have_v a_o censor_n in_o his_o hand_n to_o burn_v incense_n and_o while_o he_o be_v

i_o know_v not_o what_o be_v beside_o all_o this_o the_o more_o to_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o such_o ill_a affect_a person_n in_o our_o time_n that_o will_v take_v upon_o they_o to_o make_v much_o more_o of_o king_n than_o ever_o god_n make_v or_o do_v intend_v there_o be_v example_n even_o in_o the_o primitive_a time_n among_o the_o christian_n who_o have_v resist_v their_o king_n in_o their_o sinful_a and_o unlawful_a action_n as_o to_o instance_n in_o lycinius_n the_o emperor_n who_o have_v grant_v to_o the_o christian_n to_o enjoy_v their_o religion_n yet_o afterward_o turn_v

send_v for_o theodosius_n the_o emperor_n to_o help_v they_o against_o he_o and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o if_o the_o ecclesiastical_a history_n of_o those_o time_n be_v search_v there_o may_v more_o example_n of_o this_o nature_n be_v find_v out_o but_o beside_o all_o this_o we_o have_v see_v and_o know_v the_o like_a in_o our_o own_o time_n as_o late_o in_o the_o scot_n who_o the_o king_n himself_o that_o now_o be_v acquit_v when_o he_o come_v to_o a_o right_a understanding_n so_o the_o protestant_n in_o france_n england_n all_o queen_n elizabeth_n day_n do_v help_v they_o in_o our_o

whether_o king_n in_o case_n they_o do_v tyrannize_v over_o their_o people_n oppress_v spoil_v and_o destroy_v their_o subject_n and_o do_v other_o such_o like_a wicked_a and_o unnatural_a action_n may_v have_v censure_n and_o punishment_n inflict_v upon_o they_o according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o their_o several_a offence_n they_o say_v where_o be_v there_o any_o example_n or_o express_v

of_o yet_o that_o matter_n not_o so_o long_o as_o we_o have_v a_o rule_n to_o walk_v by_o and_o command_v in_o general_a that_o reach_n to_o all_o particular_n and_o for_o this_o the_o like_a may_v
