the_o massacre_n in_o ireland_n do_v stir_v up_o the_o spirit_n of_o many_o in_o england_n out_o of_o a_o fear_n lest_o they_o shall_v suffer_v the_o same_o thing_n here_o and_o the_o advice_n of_o some_o high_a fly_v man_n give_v to_o that_o king_n of_o introduce_v new_a ceremony_n into_o the_o church_n of_o scotland_n stir_v up_o the_o spirit_n of_o that_o kingdom_n all_o which_o jump_v together_o make_v way_n to_o his_o ruin_n which_o be_v afterward_o effect_v by_o some_o bloody_a self-designing_a man_n that_o make_v a_o party_n in_o the_o army_n but_o our_o author_n need_v not_o wonder_v so_o much_o as_o he_o do_v to_o see_v her_o son_n disow_v that_o which_o he_o call_v her_o doctrine_n since_o he_o may_v have_v know_v that_o many_o of_o her_o son_n be_v in_o the_o

he_o but_o as_o i_o say_v before_o this_o gentleman_n reckon_v none_o true_a son_n of_o the_o church_n but_o those_o of_o his_o own_o size_n as_o for_o the_o rest_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o he_o include_v they_o with_o those_o enemy_n who_o make_v a_o fast_a day_n of_o our_o saviour_n nativity_n as_o if_o they_o be_v sorry_a that_o he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o perhaps_o with_o reason_n because_o their_o action_n be_v so_o contrary_a both_o to_o his_o precept_n and_o example_n by_o which_o we_o may_v see_v that_o this_o gentleman_n have_v be_v so_o intent_n in_o con_v the_o

4_o of_o that_o chapter_n let_v not_o he_o that_o eat_v despise_v he_o that_o eat_v not_o let_v not_o he_o that_o eat_v not_o despise_v he_o that_o eat_v and_o in_o v._o 6._o he_o that_o keep_v a_o

true_a but_o because_o we_o be_v order_v to_o take_v up_o the_o cross_n when_o call_v to_o it_o must_v we_o therefore_o make_v one_o for_o ourselves_o as_o if_o we_o be_v as_o ambitious_a of_o it_o as_o the_o primitive_a christian_n be_v of_o martyrdom_n i_o think_v our_o author_n himself_o if_o he_o be_v of_o that_o church_n he_o profess_v will_v not_o therefore_o justify_v the_o papist_n make_v a_o rod_n to_o chastise_v themselves_o with_o on_o good_a friday_n or_o think_v that_o god_n be_v please_v therewith_o since_o he_o never_o desire_v they_o to_o take_v up_o that_o cross_n many_o cross_n be_v lay_v upon_o we_o by_o god_n which_o yet_o we_o may_v use_v lawful_a mean_n to_o get_v rid_v of_o particular_o sickness_n and_o he_o will_v be_v think_v a_o fool_n that_o will_v not_o apply_v himself_o to_o physician_n to_o get_v free_a of_o it_o but_o will_v expect_v to_o be_v cure_v by_o a_o miracle_n and_o till_o our_o author_n have_v give_v better_a argument_n for_o nonresistance_n than_o we_o have_v yet_o see_v we_o must_v take_v the_o liberty_n to_o say_v that_o in_o order_n to_o the_o preserve_n of_o our_o life_n against_o a_o tyrant_n that_o will_v take_v they_o away_o we_o may_v as_o warrantable_o make_v use_n of_o self-defence_n as_o of_o physician_n when_o sickness_n threaten_v we_o with_o death_n his_o instance_n of_o the_o gnostic_n be_v very_o far_o from_o the_o purpose_n for_o as_o the_o author_n he_o quote_v upon_o that_o subject_n say_v ibid._n ibid._n they_o reckon_v all_o government_n to_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o contrivance_n of_o some_o evil_a spirit_n whereas_o there_o be_v none_o of_o those_o that_o be_v for_o self-defence_n if_o we_o except_o those_o of_o the_o five_o monarchy_n principle_n but_o have_v as_o great_a a_o veneration_n for_o government_n as_o any_o of_o his_o party_n and_o will_v hazard_v as_o much_o for_o the_o support_v thereof_o as_o any_o of_o they_o but_o as_o for_o tyranny_n when_o people_n be_v much_o in_o the_o same_o case_n if_o not_o worse_o than_o if_o there_o be_v no_o government_n at_o all_o the_o case_n be_v quite_o alter_v that_o other_o citation_n of_o machiavelli_n be_v much_o to_o the_o same_o purpose_n and_o therefore_o i_o pass_v it_o he_o next_o reflect_v upon_o hobbs_n but_o i_o suppose_v design_v to_o wound_v another_o through_o his_o side_n 4._o page_n 4._o for_o in_o other_o point_v i_o believe_v they_o need_v no_o reconciliation_n and_o his_o conscience_n be_v mighty_o startle_v if_o he_o have_v any_o at_o the_o dangerous_a tenet_n which_o he_o revive_v viz._n that_o power_n be_v original_o in_o the_o people_n that_o the_o foundation_n of_o all_o government_n be_v lay_v in_o compact_a and_o that_o the_o breach_n of_o condition_n by_o one_o party_n justify_v that_o of_o the_o other_o but_o i_o will_v glad_o hear_v his_o proof_n that_o power_n be_v not_o original_o in_o the_o people_n and_o how_o king_n come_v first_o by_o their_o power_n for_o all_o that_o ever_o this_o author_n or_o any_o of_o his_o party_n have_v say_v about_o it_o be_v a_o mere_a chimaera_n viz._n that_o king_n as_o they_o derive_v their_o life_n so_o they_o receive_v their_o power_n from_o adam_n and_o noah_n by_o virtue_n of_o their_o primogeniture_n as_o the_o first_o have_v it_o immediate_o from_o god_n without_o any_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n but_o first_o than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o mankind_n shall_v be_v bear_v as_o great_a slave_n as_o beast_n since_o a_o king_n in_o such_o a_o case_n shall_v have_v as_o much_o propriety_n over_o they_o as_o any_o countryman_n have_v over_o his_o horse_n cow_n or_o sheep_n than_o which_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o repugnant_a to_o reason_n 2._o it_o will_v follow_v that_o there_o shall_v have_v be_v but_o one_o universal_a king_n over_o the_o whole_a earth_n viz._n the_o elder_a son_n of_o noah_n who_o undoubted_o must_v have_v that_o power_n over_o all_o his_o young_a brethren_n and_o consequent_o his_o posterity_n in_o the_o right_a line_n must_v have_v have_v the_o same_o power_n over_o their_o posterity_n and_o there_o can_v not_o have_v be_v any_o other_o king_n unless_o he_o or_o his_o posterity_n in_o the_o right_a line_n have_v make_v they_o their_o vicegerent_n but_o this_o be_v altogether_o inhistorical_a and_o therefore_o their_o position_n must_v be_v false_a for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o great_a monarchy_n that_o have_v be_v in_o the_o world_n be_v but_o small_a kingdom_n at_o the_o first_o and_o that_o for_o a_o considerable_a time_n and_o be_v afterward_o enlarge_v by_o conquest_n 3._o if_o this_o conjecture_n have_v be_v true_a it_o will_v follow_v that_o god_n himself_o contradict_v his_o own_o order_n without_o any_o reason_n for_o it_o for_o upon_o the_o israelite_n desire_v a_o king_n shall_v not_o he_o rather_o have_v make_v choice_n of_o the_o chief_a of_o the_o first_o tribe_n than_o of_o one_o of_o the_o mean_a family_n of_o the_o young_a tribe_n viz._n saul_n who_o be_v not_o master_n of_o such_o virtue_n as_o to_o recommend_v he_o to_o the_o crown_n before_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o david_n who_o be_v not_o of_o the_o elder_a family_n of_o judah_n and_o though_o he_o be_v a_o man_n after_o god_n own_o heart_n yet_o according_a to_o those_o gentleman_n opinion_n another_o shall_v not_o have_v be_v deprive_v of_o his_o right_n and_o since_o this_o opinion_n have_v not_o the_o least_o ground_n for_o it_o it_o must_v necessary_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v by_o election_n and_o consequent_o that_o the_o power_n of_o election_n reside_v in_o the_o people_n and_o as_o the_o people_n do_v elect_v they_o so_o
