He who hath anointed us is God But how well you confirme one wrested Scripture with another 1 Sam. 8. 7. They have not rejected thee but me grosly misapplying these words which were not spoken to any who had resisted orrejected a King but to them who much against the will of God had sought a King and rejected a Commonwealth wherin they might have livd happily under the Raign of God only thir King Let the words interpret themselves v. 6. 7. But the thing displeased Samuel when they said give us a King to judge us and Samuel prayed unto the Lord And the Lord said unto Samuel hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee for they have not rejected thee but they have rejected me that I should not reign over them Hence you conclude so in dissoluble is the Conjunction of God and the King O notorious abuse of Scripture whenas you should have concluded So unwilling was God to give them a King So wide was the disjunction of God from a King Is this the doctrin you boast of to be so clear in it self and like a Mathematical principle that needs no farther demonstration Bad Logic bad Mathematics for principles can have no demonstration at all but wors Divinitie O people of an implicit faith no better then Romish if these be thy prime teachers who to thir credulous audience dare thus jugle with Scripture to alleage those places for the proof of thir doctrin which are the plane refutation and this is all the Scripture which he brings to confirm his point The rest of his preachment is meer groundless chat save heer and there a few granes of corn scatterd to intice the silly fowl into his net interlac't heer and there with som human reading though slight and notwithout Geographical and Historical mistakes as page 29 Suevia the German dukedom for Suecia the Northern Kingdom Philip of Macedon who is generally understood of the great Alexanders father only made contemporanie page 31 with T.
