have_v both_o the_o story_n and_o the_o canon_n before_o he_o our_o author_n '_o be_v argument_n from_o this_o story_n be_v this_o 17._o it_o be_v plain_a the_o convocation_n do_v not_o conceive_v that_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o the_o crown_n with_o all_o its_o dignity_n etc._n etc._n be_v that_o thorough_a settlement_n to_o which_o be_v due_a subjection_n and_o obedience_n as_o to_o god_n

disposal_n and_o this_o also_o for_o no_o less_o a_o time_n than_o six_o year_n and_o in_o as_o full_a and_o ample_a a_o manner_n as_o any_o usurper_n or_o any_o rightful_a king_n ever_o enjoy_v they_o but_o for_o all_o that_o the_o convocation_n be_v so_o far_o from_o urge_v obedience_n to_o she_o as_o to_o god_n authority_n that_o they_o express_o justify_v the_o resist_a nay_o the_o slay_v she_o and_o this_o be_v a_o clear_a demonstration_n that_o by_o a_o thorough_a settlement_n the_o convocation_n do_v not_o mean_v a_o full_a possession_n of_o power_n mere_o for_o they_o say_v when_o a_o government_n be_v full_o settle_v it_o ought_v to_o be_v obey_v as_o god_n authority_n not_o only_o for_o fear_n but_o for_o conscience_n sake_n but_o they_o say_v also_o that_o when_o athaliah_n be_v full_o possess_v of_o the_o throne_n she_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v obey_v but_o to_o be_v resist_v and_o slay_v and_o the_o conclusion_n from_o these_o premise_n be_v that_o to_o be_v full_o possess_v of_o the_o throne_n be_v not_o of_o itself_o to_o be_v so_o thorough_o settle_v as_o to_o make_v it_o god_n authority_n and_o obedience_n to_o become_v a_o duty_n now_o it_o be_v sufficient_a here_o to_o observe_v that_o he_o have_v not_o give_v the_o true_a notion_n of_o a_o full_a and_o settle_a possession_n for_o he_o have_v leave_v out_o the_o principal_a part_n of_o it_o as_o i_o state_n it_o viz._n when_o the_o estate_n of_o the_o realm_n and_o the_o great_a body_n of_o the_o nation_n have_v submit_v to_o such_o a_o prince_n which_o in_o the_o case_n of_o antiochus_n be_v one_o thing_n 69._o the_o convocation_n express_o make_v necessary_a to_o a_o thorough_a settlement_n the_o government_n

of_o that_o tyrant_n antiochus_n be_v not_o then_o either_o general_o receive_v by_o submission_n nor_o settle_v by_o continuance_n though_o i_o can_v blame_v he_o for_o this_o because_o the_o author_n who_o he_o answer_v take_v no_o notice_n of_o it_o but_o i_o must_v blame_v he_o for_o affirm_v that_o the_o convocation_n say_v that_o when_o athaliah_n be_v full_o possess_v of_o the_o throne_n she_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v obey_v but_o to_o be_v resist_v and_o slay_v for_o they_o say_v no_o such_o thing_n and_o though_o he_o may_v imagine_v this_o to_o be_v the_o consequence_n of_o what_o they_o say_v he_o ought_v not_o therefore_o to_o affirm_v that_o they_o say_v it_o because_o he_o may_v mistake_v in_o his_o consequence_n and_o that_o he_o have_v do_v so_o shall_v present_o appear_v the_o convocation_n say_v not_o one_o word_n of_o the_o through_o settlement_n of_o athaliah_n in_o the_o throne_n but_o if_o we_o may_v learn_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o convocation_n as_o this_o author_n conclude_v we_o may_v from_o what_o bishop_n buckridge_n 27._o a_o member_n of_o that_o convocation_n have_v write_v in_o his_o defence_n of_o barclay_n they_o do_v not_o think_v she_o settle_v in_o the_o throne_n for_o when_o bellarmin_n have_v object_v the_o quiet_a possession_n of_o athaliah_n for_o six_o year_n the_o bishop_n as_o this_o author_n cite_v he_o answers_z how_o quiet_a soever_o it_o be_v it_o be_v violent_a for_o she_o be_v guard_v with_o soldier_n and_o affirm_v that_o athaliah_n have_v not_o acquire_v a_o right_n to_o the_o crown_n i_o suppose_v he_o mean_v only_o such_o a_o right_a as_o a_o thorough_a settlement_n give_v neither_o by_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n nor_o by_o the_o prescription_n of_o six_o year_n six_o year_n be_v not_o long_a enough_o for_o a_o prescription_n which_o he_o say_v must_v be_v a_o hundred_o year_n and_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n it_o seem_v she_o have_v not_o and_o therefore_o be_v a_o mere_a usurper_n and_o no_o queen_n she_o may_v be_v depose_v and_o thus_o his_o whole_a argument_n be_v lose_v and_o here_o i_o must_v observe_v that_o the_o bishop_n allow_v as_o the_o convocation_n do_v that_o either_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n or_o a_o long_a prescription_n give_v a_o right_a that_o be_v such_o a_o right_a as_o make_v obedience_n due_a to_o prince_n thus_o settle_v without_o a_o legal_a title_n and_o therefore_o our_o author_n great_o prevaricate_v when_o he_o pretend_v to_o give_v the_o bishop_n sense_n of_o a_o thorough_a settlement_n that_o be_v when_o a_o right_a to_o the_o government_n be_v acquire_v by_o a_o prescription_n and_o that_o be_v a_o long_a and_o uninterrupted_a possession_n join_v with_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n the_o bishop_n distinguish_v between_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n and_o a_o long_a prescription_n and_o say_v that_o either_o of_o they_o will_v give_v a_o right_n and_o our_o author_n though_o he_o pretend_v to_o give_v the_o bishop_n sense_n make_v both_o of_o they_o together_o necessary_a to_o give_v a_o right_n a_o long_a and_o uninterrupted_a possession_n which_o be_v what_o the_o bishop_n call_v prescription_n join_v with_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n so_o that_o he_o leave_v out_o neither_o and_o nor_o as_o insignificant_a particle_n and_o like_v with_o better_a as_o more_o agreeable_a to_o his_o design_n and_o at_o this_o rate_n he_o may_v make_v convocation_n and_o bishop_n speak_v his_o sense_n when_o he_o please_v but_o to_o gratify_v our_o author_n let_v we_o suppose_v the_o convocation_n do_v own_o athaliah_n to_o have_v be_v as_o thorough_o settle_v on_o the_o throne_n as_o any_o usurper_n can_v be_v while_o the_o right_a heir_n be_v live_v and_o then_o the_o consequence_n be_v that_o the_o convocation_n teach_v that_o king_n and_o queen_n de_fw-mi facto_fw-la who_o have_v all_o the_o settlement_n that_o can_v be_v have_v without_o right_o may_v be_v depose_v and_o murder_v by_o their_o subject_n and_o will_v this_o author_n say_v that_o this_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o convocation_n do_v they_o not_o express_o warn_v we_o against_o believe_v any_o person_n who_o shall_v affirm_v by_o all_o the_o argument_n which_o wit_n or_o learning_n can_v devise_v 55._o that_o god_n have_v call_v he_o to_o murder_n the_o king_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la under_o who_o he_o live_v it_o seem_v then_o the_o convocation_n make_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o case_n of_o athaliah_n and_o other_o king_n de_fw-la facto_fw-la who_o have_v no_o better_a title_n nor_o more_o through_o settlement_n than_o she_o have_v if_o they_o think_v she_o settle_v in_o the_o throne_n without_o which_o supposition_n our_o author_n argument_n be_v lose_v for_o they_o justify_v the_o kill_a athaliah_n 35._o and_o condemn_v the_o murder_n of_o a_o king_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la and_o this_o i_o give_v two_o account_n of_o in_o my_o case_n of_o allegiance_n 1._o all_o that_o this_o story_n amount_v to_o be_v no_o more_o than_o this_o that_o when_o the_o legal_a and_o rightful_a heir_n be_v actual_o possess_v of_o his_o throne_n subject_n may_v return_v to_o their_o allegiance_n and_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o their_o king_n prosecute_v the_o usurper_n for_o joash_n be_v first_o anoint_v and_o proclaim_v before_o any_o one_o stir_v a_o finger_n against_o athaliah_n now_o this_o be_v a_o very_a different_a case_n from_o raise_v a_o rebellion_n against_o a_o prince_n who_o be_v in_o possession_n of_o the_o throne_n to_o restore_v a_o eject_v prince_n 2._o but_o this_o be_v a_o peculiar_a case_n for_o god_n himself_o have_v entail_v the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n on_o the_o posterity_n of_o david_n and_o therefore_o nothing_o can_v justify_v their_o submission_n to_o a_o usurper_n when_o the_o king_n son_n be_v find_v to_o who_o the_o kingdom_n do_v belong_v by_o a_o divine_a entail_v 5._o and_o by_o this_o jehoiada_n justify_v what_o he_o do_v behold_v the_o king_n son_n shall_v reign_v as_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v of_o the_o son_n of_o david_n now_o when_o god_n have_v entail_v the_o crown_n by_o a_o express_a declaration_n of_o his_o will_n and_o nomination_n of_o the_o person_n or_o family_n that_o shall_v reign_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n subject_n be_v bind_v to_o adhere_v to_o their_o prince_n of_o god_n choose_n when_o he_o be_v know_v and_o to_o persecute_v all_o usurper_n to_o the_o utmost_a and_o never_o submit_v to_o their_o government_n but_o in_o other_o kingdom_n where_o god_n make_v king_n and_o entail_v the_o crown_n not_o by_o express_a nomination_n but_o by_o his_o providence_n the_o place_v a_o prince_n in_o the_o throne_n and_o settle_v he_o there_o in_o the_o full_a administration_n of_o the_o government_n be_v a_o reason_n to_o submit_v to_o he_o as_o to_o god_n ordinance_n this_o our_o author_n answer_v with_o great_a triumph_n in_o his_o postscript_n p._n 4_o 5._o but_o with_o how_o much_o reason_n i_o shall_v now_o examine_v and_o i_o must_v begin_v with_o his_o answer_n to_o the_o second_o this_o distinction_n that_o god_n himself_o have_v entail_v the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n upon_o david_n posterity_n he_o say_v be_v not_o in_o the_o convocation_n book_n and_o so_o do_v not_o affect_v their_o sense_n i_o grant_v it_o and_o therefore_o do_v not_o concern_v the_o convocation-book_n in_o the_o story_n nor_o make_v any_o mention_n of_o it_o but_o only_o raise_v this_o objection_n from_o the_o story_n and_o give_v that_o answer_n to_o it_o by_o which_o jehoiada_n the_o highpriest_n justify_v what_o he_o do_v for_o though_o the_o convocation_n take_v notice_n of_o this_o story_n yet_o they_o neither_o make_v nor_o answer_v this_o objection_n in_o direct_a term_n they_o have_v another_o design_n in_o mention_v it_o and_o fit_v their_o answer_n whole_o to_o that_o viz._n to_o prove_v against_o the_o papist_n 41._o that_o no_o priest_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n do_v ever_o depose_v from_o their_o crown_n any_o of_o their_o king_n how_o wicked_a soever_o or_o have_v any_o authority_n so_o to_o do_v and_o because_o this_o example_n of_o jehoiada_n use_v to_o be_v urge_v by_o they_o to_o this_o purpose_n they_o show_v that_o no_o such_o thing_n can_v be_v prove_v from_o it_o but_o though_o the_o convocation_n do_v not_o answer_v a_o question_n which_o they_o never_o propose_v yet_o this_o be_v a_o good_a answer_n to_o it_o and_o agreeable_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o convocation_n in_o that_o place_n for_o they_o take_v notice_n that_o jehoiada_n when_o he_o have_v send_v to_o the_o levite_n and_o chief_a father_n both_o of_o judah_n and_o benjamin_n acquaint_v they_o with_o the_o preservation_n of_o their_o prince_n and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n will_n that_o he_o shall_v reign_v over_o they_o which_o plain_o refer_v to_o that_o divine_a entail_v of_o the_o
