Therefore mens Oaths Covenants to Kings and their Posterity must likewise bind in succession and perpetuity 2ly Because Gods Oath and Covenant made to David and to his House Royal Seed and Posterity touching their succession in the Royal Throne of Iudah was hereditary successive extending to all his Issue and Posterity and though many of them were wicked rebellious yet this did not cause or provoke God to dethrone or disinherit them or infringe his Oath and Covenant to David 2 Sam. 3. 12. to the end c. 22. 51. 1 Kings 2. 33.

Therefore much more where Oaths Covenants are made by Subjects to their Hereditary Kings and their Posterity they must remain inviolable and not be abrogated by their transgressions 3ly Because the Oath which Joseph took of his Brethren the children of Israel to carry up his Bones out of Aegypt into Canaan when God should bring them out of Aegypt Gen. 50. 24 25. though not made precisely for them and their Posterity was reputed by Moses and them to be obligatorie to their seed as if made by them even in point of Conscience as is evident by Exod. 13. 19. And Moses took the Bones of Ioseph with him though driven out of Egypt by Pharoah for he had straitly sworn to the Children of Israel saying God will surely visit you and you shall carry up my bones hence with you Which bones of his they by vertue of this Oath notwithstanding Pharoahs pursuit after them carryed along with them through the red Sea and through the wildernesse forty years and through the Land of Canaan till they had quite conquered it notwithstanding all their wars Iosh. 24. 32. near 500 years after this Oath first made If then Moses Ioshua and all the Israelites held themselves thus conscienciously obliged by the Oath of their deceased Ancestors above four hundred years before to carry up Iosephs dead bones out of Aegypt notwithstanding all Objections of hast and danger from Pharoah and his Host their forty years wandring in the wildernesse their wars in Canaan and meanesse of the matter in relation to their publick safety no wayes concerned in it Then much more must our Ancestors and our own particular reiterated Oaths in precise terms to our Kings their Heirs and Successors which so much concern our publick Government Peace Settlement Safety Prosperity engage our whole Kingdom and three Nations to a consciencious observation of them to the uttermost of their power 4ly Because Davids Oath to Saul and Jonathan extended to their seed 1 Sam. 24. 21 22. Swear now therefore unto me by the Lord that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my Fathers House And David swore unto Saul 1 Sam. 20. 14 to 18 42. And Jonathan said to David thou shalt not only while I yet live shew me the kindnesse of the Lord that I die not but also thou shalt not cut off thy kindnesse from my House for ever no not when the Lord hath cut off the Enemies of David every one from the face of the Earth So Jonathan made a Covenant WITH THE HOUSE OF DAVID And Jonathan caused David to swear again because he loved him And Ionathan said to David go in peace for as much as We have sworn both of us in the name of the Lord saying the Lord be beeween thee and me and between thy Seed and my Seed for ever How conscienciously David observed these Oaths after the deaths of Saul and Ionathan is apparent not only by his love favor and affection to Mephibosheth for Jonathans sake whom he restored to all that was Saule made him eat continually at his Table 2 Sam. 9. 1. c. and by his slaying of Baanah and Rechab for murdering Ishbosheth Sauls son his Competitor when they brought his head unto him expecting a great reward 2 Sam. 4. But more especially by his sparing Mephibosheth the Son of Jonathan the son of Saul because of the Lords Oath that was between them between David and Jonathan extending to their seed and posteritie when the Gibeonites demanded 7. of the sons of Saul to be delivered up to them 2 Sam. 21. 5 6 7. 5. Because Esther 9. 27 28 31.
