A91256	A revindication of the anoynting and priviledges of faithfull subjects. Or, A briefe reply to an idle pamphlet, intituled, An answer and confutation of that groundlesse vindication of Psal. 105. 15. (touch not mine anoynted, and do my prophets no harme) from some trayterous exposition of schismaticks: declaring to the world, that this was spoken principally and peculiarly of kings, and not of inferiour subjects, &c. Wherein the insufficiency and ridiculousnesse this Answerers no-answer, is briefly demonstrated, the Vindication justified, and the text of Rom. 13. cleared from some misconstructions (against subjects taking up meere defensive armes in any cases) which the Answerer (out of Dr. Fernes Resolution of conscience, for want of matter of his own) hath thrust upon it, to delude some scrupulous consciences. With a briefe exhortation to peace, with truth, righteousnesse, and holinesse.	Prynne, William, 1600-1669.	1643 (1643)	Wing P4053; Thomason E244_40; ESTC R212568	15,035	8

A REVINDICATION OF THE ANOYNTING and PRIVILEDGES OF FAITHFULL SUBJECTS OR A Briefe Reply to an idle Pamphlet intituled An Answer and Confutation of that groundlesse Vindication of Psal 105. 15. Touch not mine Anoynted and do my Prophets no harme From some trayterous Exposition of Schismaticks Declaring to the World That this was spoken principally and peculiarly of Kings and not of inferiour Subjects c. Wherein the Insufficiency and Ridiculousnesse this Answerers No-Answer is briefly demonstrated the Vindication justified and the text of Rom. 13. cleared from some misconstructions against subjects taking up meere defensive armes in any cases which the Answerer out of Dr. Fernes Resolution of Conscience for want of matter of his own hath thrust upon it to delude some scrupulous Consciences With a briefe exhortation to Peace with Truth Righteousnesse and Holinesse Esay 10. 27. At that day shall the burthen be taken away from off thy shoulder and his yoke from off thy necke and the yoke shal be destroyed because of the ANOINTING Esther 8. 6.

A briefe Reply to an idle Pamphlet THe wisest of all Kings Solomon hath given us two seemingly repugnant precepts Prov. 26. 4 5. the first is this Answer not a fool according to his folly least thou also be like unto him In obedience whereunto I shal forbeare to give any answer to this Pamphletters extravagant rayling Prologue to his two last sorts of anoyntings Effusione vini Infusione cervisiae with which two unctions I feare this Priest of Bacchus was anoynted when he penned this absolute Answer half in the Tavern half in the Ale-house with other his impertinences following them fitter to exhilarate those prophane Cavalieres who have lately turned some of our Churches into Stables and Pulpits into Close-stooles then to satisfie doubtfull consciences or sober-minded men The latter this Answer is foole according to his folly lest he be wise in his own conceit in pursuance whereof I shall onely give a short reply to so much of his answer as may seem pertinent to the point in controversiy which is but this Whether that of Psal 105. 15. Touch not mine anoynted and do my Prophets no 〈◊〉 was spoken principally and peculiarly of Kings or of inferiour subjects And whether subjects may be called Gods anoynted The Vindicator truely asserts that this was spoken principally and peculiarly of inferiour subjects fearing God and not of Kings which he manifests in his Vindication by two unanswerable arguments 1. Because this was originally and immediately spoken and intended of Abraham Isaac and Iacob and their families who were no actuall Kings for they lived many hundred yeeres before the Israelites had any actuall King of which Saul was the first and that not in the time of their wealth and greatnesse ruling like Princes in their own Territories but as the Psalmist expressely resolves in this Psalm vers 12 13. When they were but a few men in number yea VERY FEW and strangers in the Land When they went from one Nation to another from one Kingdom to another people being most remote from any royall condition 2. Because these words were directly spoken to Kings not of Kings which he proves by v. 14 15 Yea he reproved KINGS for their sakes saying even to Kings themselves Touch not mine anoynted c. and by Gods prohibiting King Pharaoh and King Abimelech so much as to touch or hurt Abraham Sarah Isaac or Rebekah whiles they sojourned within their Dominions Gen. 12. 10. to 20. c. 20. c. 26. to which the Psalmists words relate And therefore being thus immediately directed to Kings themselves cannot be meant of Kings but subjects unlesse you will make this nonsence Exposition of it That Kings must not touch nor hurt themselves or that it is unlawfull for one King to touch hurt make war against imprison depose or kill another To the latter of these two reasons Answ this absolute answerer and confuter replies not so much as one syllable because in verity it is unanswerable and so yeelds the cause To some part onely of the first reason he endeavours to give some shew of answer yet such as being examined doth justifie the Vindicator and confute himselfe for first he concur● with the Vindication in this That the anoynted which the Prophet David speakes of here were the blessed Patriarkes NO DENIAL OF THAT he cals them here by their names Abraham Isaac and Jacob touching which primo intuitu prima intentione this strict charge is given that they be not touched here This is his own conclusion naturally derived from the course and ser●●s of the History Lo here confitentem reum this notable confuter refuting not the Vindicator but himselfe After which confessio●●he subjoynes this frivolous evasion These Patriarches were principall persons and as I may say Princes in their generations and for such reputed by such amongst whom they lived We may safely averi● for of Abraham it is by expresse tearms said by the Hethites that he was a mighty Prince a 〈◊〉 23. v. 6. H●●re us my Lord thou art a mighty Prince amongst us And the Patriark Isaac in a Princely manner lifted up his head above his follows 〈◊〉 what 〈◊〉 the King said to Isaac the Patriarke b Gen 26. 16. Go from us f●r thou art much mightier than we And Jacob must come in for his principality too behold his Scepter standeth upon earth and reacheth up to heaven c Gen. 27. 28. God gave to him the dew of heaven and the fatnesse of the earth They were Rulers of the people Princes Kings Pator was in them and Arche too the Fatherhood of the Church and government of the State and what finde we more in Kings c. So the Answerer The sum of whose words is That the Patriarcks were actuall Kings and in that regard onely called Gods anoynted and this text Touch not mine anointed was spoken of them as they were Kings and Princes not Subjects therefore it belongs peculiarly to Kings not Subjects To which I briefly reply Reply 1 1. That these words Touch not mine anointed and do my Prophets no harme were spoken not onely of these three Patriarkes themselves successively but likewise of their wives and families as is cleare by Gen. 12. 15. to 20. c. 20. 2. to 17. c. 26. 11. c. 34. 30 c. 35. 6. and by the expresse words of this Psalm ver 12. 14. When THEY were but
