A27390	Constantius the Apostate being a short account of his life and the sense of the primitive Christians about his succession and their behaviour toward him : wherein is shown the unlawfulness of excluding the next heir upon the account of religion, and the necessity of passive obedience, as well to the unlawfull oppressour, as the legal persecutour : being a full answer to a late pamphlet intituled Julian the Apostate, &c.

the_o first_o christian_n will_v be_v evident_a from_o the_o apology_n of_o athenagoras_n to_o m._n aurelius_n and_o his_o son_n commodus_n where_o have_v declare_v the_o christian_n be_v of_o all_o

that_o we_o lead_v a_o quiet_a and_o peaceable_a life_n may_v ready_o obey_v you_o in_o all_o your_o command_n i_o think_v nothing_o can_v be_v full_a than_o this_o to_o prove_v what_o i_o design_v for_o that_o in_o these_o word_n he_o declare_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o church_n we_o must_v necessary_o grant_v if_o we_o consider_v what_o his_o character_n then_o be_v when_o he_o speak_v they_o athe._n legat._n pro_fw-la christ._n but_o to_o come_v nigh_o to_o the_o business_n in_o hand_n the_o primitive_a christian_n do_v know_v julian_n apostasy_n before_o constantius_n die_v for_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o he_o be_v declare_v emperor_n by_o the_o soldier_n he_o lay_v by_o all_o pretence_n to_o christianity_n for_o go_v through_o every_o city_n he_o open_v the_o temple_n and_o call_v

ignorant_a of_o what_o julian_n do_v so_o public_o in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v not_o to_o be_v imagine_v especial_o if_o constantius_n himself_o know_v it_o which_o mr._n johnson_n will_v have_v we_o believe_v from_o the_o passage_n he_o cite_v from_o gregory_n naz._n that_o constantius_n repent_v his_o declare_v julian_n his_o successor_n which_o can_v only_o be_v upon_o the_o account_n of_o his_o apostasy_n so_o that_o he_o must_v needs_o know_v it_o but_o if_o we_o give_v any_o credit_n to_o marcellinus_n who_o authority_n i_o be_o sure_a mr._n johnson_n seem_v much_o to_o value_v if_o constantius_n do_v know_v that_o julian_n be_v a_o pagan_a it_o be_v impossible_a he_o shall_v repent_v of_o his_o leave_v he_o his_o successor_n for_o he_o tell_v we_o l._n 21._o

too_o like_o a_o popish_a miracle_n i_o be_o rather_o incline_v to_o believe_v that_o constantius_n think_v the_o right_n of_o succession_n be_v so_o inviolable_a that_o the_o high_a provocation_n imaginable_a ought_v not_o to_o prevail_v with_o he_o to_o alter_v it_o for_o else_o why_o do_v he_o not_o endeavour_v to_o exclude_v he_o when_o he_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o the_o high_a ingratitude_n in_o procure_v himself_o to_o be_v declare_v emperor_n by_o the_o army_n and_o afterwards_o in_o justify_v his_o title_n by_o a_o open_a rebellion_n it_o have_v certain_o be_v but_o justice_n to_o have_v proceed_v with_o the_o great_a rigour_n against_o he_o for_o so_o insolent_a a_o usurpation_n but_o alas_o he_o know_v his_o edict_n in_o this_o case_n will_v be_v supersede_v by_o a_o great_a law_n and_o that_o they_o will_v be_v of_o little_a force_n against_o that_o title_n from_o which_o he_o first_o derive_v the_o power_n to_o make_v they_o i_o hope_v this_o be_v a_o sufficient_a answer_n to_o the_o second_o chapter_n wherein_o mr._n johnson_n pretend_v to_o show_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o primitive_a christian_n about_o julian_n succession_n but_o make_v one_o man_n opinion_n the_o sense_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n and_o take_v that_o opinion_n too_o of_o his_o from_o his_o invective_n this_o be_v so_o disingenuous_a it_o can_v never_o be_v excuse_v but_o that_o the_o badness_n of_o the_o cause_n he_o be_v engage_v in_o can_v find_v nothing_o else_o to_o support_v it_o as_o to_o the_o four_o position_n
