church_n but_o whatever_o other_o do_v we_o be_v i_o hope_v sure_a of_o our_o reverend_a author_n for_o he_o have_v prove_v that_o the_o clergy_n in_o q._n elizabeth_n be_v of_o his_o faith_n as_o to_o this_o question_n therefore_o shall_v have_v think_v it_o unnecessary_a to_o have_v say_v any_o thing_n more_o but_o that_o for_o the_o author_n information_n i_o must_v answer_v a_o objection_n or_o two_o about_o david_n who_o example_n though_o so_o much_o recommend_v may_v perhaps_o carry_v we_o far_o and_o give_v great_a liberty_n than_o the_o person_n of_o quality_n ever_o desire_v for_o i_o will_v assure_v you_o defensive_a arm_n will_v at_o any_o time_n content_v he_o 39_o but_o our_o author_n be_v please_v to_o ask_v how_o it_o appear_v david_n take_v up_o defensive_a arm_n for_o the_o homily_n tell_v we_o of_o no_o such_o thing_n but_o i_o can_v tell_v he_o of_o as_o authentic_a a_o book_n that_o do_v nay_o that_o tell_v we_o a_o little_a more_o of_o david_n for_o if_o he_o will_v please_v to_o read_v 1_o sam._n 28._o 2._o and_o 29._o 8._o he_o will_v find_v it_o be_v not_o david_n fault_n that_o he_o do_v not_o use_v offensive_a weapon_n against_o saul_n if_o fight_v against_o he_o be_v to_o be_v call_v so_o for_o if_o we_o may_v believe_v his_o own_o word_n he_o certain_o intend_v that_o as_o you_o may_v see_v 1_o sam._n 28._o and_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v in_o those_o day_n that_o the_o philistine_n gather_v their_o army_n together_o for_o warfare_n to_o fight_v with_o israel_n and_o achish_n say_v anto_n david_n know_v thou_o assure_o that_o thou_o shall_v go_v out_o with_o i_o to_o battle_n thou_o and_o thy_o men._n and_o david_n say_v to_o achish_n sure_o thou_o shall_v know_v what_o thy_o servant_n can_v do_v and_o achish_n say_v to_o david_n therefore_o will_v i_o make_v thou_o keeper_n of_o my_o head_n for_o ever_o and_o in_o pursuance_n of_o this_o we_o find_v david_n and_o his_o man_n attend_v achish_n the_o very_a day_n before_o the_o battle_n as_o his_o particular_a guard_n which_o perhaps_o may_v be_v one_o thing_n that_o disgust_v the_o lord_n of_o the_o philistine_n so_o that_o they_o will_v not_o let_v he_o go_v to_o fight_v with_o they_o and_o achish_a against_o his_o will_n be_v force_v to_o dismiss_v david_n who_o expostulation_n chap._n 29._o 8._o be_v very_o remarkable_a for_o i_o think_v it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o passionate_a thing_n of_o the_o kind_n i_o have_v meet_v with_o and_o david_n say_v unto_o achish_n but_o what_o have_v i_o do_v and_o what_o have_v thou_o find_v in_o thy_o servant_n so_o long_o as_o i_o have_v be_v with_o thou_o unto_o this_o day_n that_o i_o may_v not_o go_v fight_n against_o the_o enemy_n of_o my_o lord_n the_o king_n and_o achish_n be_v force_v to_o command_v he_o a_o second_o time_n for_o you_o see_v he_o dispute_v the_o first_o which_o satisfy_v i_o that_o he_o be_v in_o earnest_n and_o be_v unwilling_a to_o return_v and_o now_o what_o can_v be_v say_v against_o so_o plain_a a_o text_n for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o can_v foresee_v but_o two_o thing_n the_o first_o that_o david_n do_v dissemble_v with_o achish_n and_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o fight_v but_o that_o i_o think_v be_v a_o very_a unworthy_a thought_n for_o david_n have_v be_v a_o very_a base_a and_o ungrateful_a man_n to_o have_v either_o deceive_v or_o betray_v achish_n who_o have_v give_v he_o protection_n and_o be_v so_o true_o kind_a to_o he_o the_o second_o thing_n be_v that_o a_o subject_a may_v listen_v himself_o under_o a_o foreign_a prince_n and_o in_o his_o quarrel_n lawful_o fight_v against_o their_o own_o king_n and_o if_o so_o than_o all_o that_o list_v themselves_o under_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n may_v still_o be_v as_o good_a subject_n to_o king_n james_n as_o david_n at_o that_o time_n be_v to_o saul_n and_o as_o to_o the_o proof_n of_o his_o take_n up_o defensive_a arm_n he_o may_v find_v that_o 1_o sam._n 22._o 2._o and_o every_o one_o that_o be_v in_o distress_n and_o every_o one_o that_o be_v in_o debt_n and_o every_o one_o that_o be_v discontent_v gather_v themselves_o unto_o he_o and_o he_o become_v captain_n over_o they_o and_o here_o be_v as_o formal_a levy_n of_o war_n as_o i_o think_v can_v be_v desire_v and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o to_o defend_v himself_o i_o know_v not_o to_o what_o purpose_v it_o be_v for_o if_o he_o desire_v only_a flight_n he_o may_v have_v do_v that_o safe_a as_o well_o as_o privater_o by_o himself_o than_o with_o a_o army_n nor_o be_v that_o army_n of_o any_o use_n as_o to_o the_o gain_n of_o the_o crown_n after_o saul_n death_n for_o god_n command_v he_o to_o go_v and_o live_v at_o hebron_n where_o the_o man_n of_o judah_n of_o their_o own_o accord_n go_v down_o and_o make_v he_o king_n as_o he_o will_v find_v 2_o sam._n 2._o so_o that_o so_o many_o hundred_o man_n from_o the_o begin_n to_o the_o end_n be_v of_o no_o use_n unless_o it_o be_v to_o defend_v he_o against_o saul_n and_o that_o he_o do_v design_n to_o have_v garrison_v keilah_n but_o that_o god_n tell_v he_o the_o man_n of_o the_o place_n will_v betray_v he_o i_o think_v nothing_o can_v be_v more_o evident_a from_o any_o text_n in_o spite_n of_o all_o the_o author_n comment_n but_o now_o he_o refer_v i_o to_o the_o last_o homily_n against_o rebellion_n as_o i_o do_v he_o to_o the_o second_o 42._o and_o ask_v i_o whether_o king_n john_n subject_n take_v up_o only_o defensive_a arm_n but_o by_o bishop_n bilson_n excellent_a rule_n above_o cite_v neither_o he_o nor_o i_o ought_v to_o judge_v they_o because_o we_o do_v not_o nor_o can_v know_v all_o their_o circumstance_n for_o historian_n be_v seldom_o so_o impartial_a as_o to_o give_v we_o all_o thing_n in_o their_o true_a colour_n but_o the_o design_n of_o that_o homily_n be_v only_o to_o show_v the_o intolerableness_n of_o the_o romish_a yoke_n and_o how_o impossible_a it_o be_v for_o they_o that_o depend_v on_o and_o obey_v the_o pope_n to_o be_v good_a subject_n but_o as_o for_o king_n john_n himself_o he_o have_v be_v as_o great_a a_o traitor_n and_o use_v he_o that_o shall_v have_v be_v his_o sovereign_n as_o ill_o as_o his_o subject_n can_v do_v he_o for_o all_o the_o world_n know_v that_o he_o first_o usurp_v the_o crown_n and_o then_o kill_v prince_n arthur_n that_o be_v the_o true_a heir_n and_o true_o if_o their_o present_a majesty_n will_v have_v pursue_v king_n john_n method_n they_o may_v before_o this_o have_v have_v as_o indisputable_a a_o title_n and_o have_v as_o much_o right_o to_o have_v be_v call_v natural_a sovereign_a lord_n as_o king_n john_n have_v but_o shall_v they_o have_v the_o less_o respect_n and_o be_v the_o worse_o think_v on_o because_o they_o spare_v the_o life_n of_o our_o late_a unfortunate_a king_n and_o suffer_v he_o to_o escape_v when_o he_o be_v in_o their_o power_n nay_o will_v not_o abridge_v he_o of_o his_o liberty_n although_o they_o know_v he_o will_v use_v it_o against_o their_o interest_n if_o this_o be_v the_o quarrel_n that_o the_o clergy_n have_v against_o king_n william_n i_o shall_v admire_v their_o politic_n a_o great_a deal_n more_o than_o their_o divinity_n but_o to_o return_v to_o king_n john_n what_o cause_v our_o ancestor_n may_v have_v to_o repent_v they_o of_o their_o war_n against_o he_o i_o know_v not_o but_o i_o believe_v their_o posterity_n think_v they_o have_v not_o much_o for_o it_o produce_v those_o great_a privilege_n wherein_o the_o english_a subject_n glory_n the_o charter_n obtain_v from_o he_o be_v the_o first_o

up_o the_o advantage_n they_o hold_v from_o it_o and_o i_o think_v i_o may_v undertake_v to_o call_v back_o both_o king_n james_n and_o popery_n for_o they_o deceive_v themselves_o that_o think_v

give_v we_o a_o large_a account_n of_o that_o excellent_a bishop_n who_o life_n i_o dare_v say_v may_v have_v furnish_v he_o with_o a_o great_a many_o more_o remarkable_a passage_n however_o i_o think_v there_o be_v nothing_o more_o that_o i_o need_v insist_v upon_o in_o the_o first_o part_n for_o i_o do_v not_o know_v that_o i_o ever_o question_v either_o the_o bishop_n make_v of_o the_o profession_n or_o the_o solemnity_n of_o the_o circumstance_n with_o which_o it_o be_v do_v therefore_o must_v crave_v leave_n to_o tell_v my_o author_n that_o he_o have_v a_o little_a mistake_v the_o point_n for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o make_n but_o the_o publish_n of_o it_o that_o i_o except_v against_o for_o to_o another_o body_n it_o will_v be_v pretty_a evident_a that_o it_o be_v only_o the_o publish_n of_o it_o that_o seem_v so_o unaccountable_a to_o i_o although_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o parenthesis_n and_o only_o in_o that_o be_v say_v that_o there_o seem_v no_o great_a occasion_n for_o the_o make_n of_o it_o than_o there_o be_v for_o my_o lord_n archbishop_n to_o put_v out_o manifesto_n to_o tell_v the_o people_n he_o be_v suspend_v on_o the_o same_o account_n for_o these_o be_v the_o very_a word_n of_o the_o letter_n and_o where_o the_o great_a offence_n of_o they_o lie_v or_o the_o angry_a objection_n against_o the_o make_n of_o the_o protestation_n i_o must_v confess_v i_o do_v not_o yet_o see_v for_o i_o hope_v the_o put_v he_o in_o the_o same_o form_n with_o his_o grace_n of_o canterbury_n can_v be_v no_o affront_n or_o disparagement_n however_o i_o dare_v say_v the_o good_a bishop_n will_v not_o have_v think_v it_o so_o but_o the_o person_n of_o quality_n be_v upon_o all_o occasion_n so_o extreme_o oblige_v to_o this_o worthy_a author_n that_o it_o be_v all_o one_o what_o i_o say_v for_o even_o my_o own_o encomium_n meet_v with_o this_o return_n for_o these_o be_v his_o word_n his_o civility_n and_o due_a respect_n for_o the_o memory_n of_o the_o late_a reverend_a bishop_n 13._o i_o shall_v with_o all_o thankfulness_n most_o ready_o acknowledge_v if_o i_o can_v think_v it_o not_o design_v with_o the_o better_a grace_n and_o more_o ceremony_n to_o cast_v a_o blemish_n upon_o one_o of_o the_o last_o and_o most_o solemn_a act_n of_o his_o life_n but_o i_o wonder_v how_o long_o he_o and_o the_o person_n of_o quality_n have_v be_v so_o intimate_o acquaint_v for_o although_o i_o be_o sure_a he_o do_v not_o know_v my_o face_n yet_o he_o pretend_v to_o know_v my_o heart_n a_o great_a deal_n better_o than_o i_o do_v myself_o if_o the_o inference_n he_o be_v please_v to_o make_v in_o this_o and_o some_o other_o place_n be_v true_a for_o i_o can_v assure_v you_o he_o tell_v i_o of_o design_n i_o never_o think_v on_o but_o since_o he_o make_v such_o objection_n i_o hope_v he_o will_v take_v care_n to_o answer_v they_o for_o i_o thank_v god_n i_o be_o not_o at_o all_o concern_v to_o do_v it_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n he_o do_v very_o well_o to_o slip_v his_o own_o neck_n out_o of_o the_o collar_n and_o though_o he_o pretend_v to_o answer_v my_o letter_n yet_o wave_v the_o main_a point_n which_o be_v the_o design_n of_o publish_v the_o protestation_n which_o he_o tell_v we_o do_v not_o at_o all_o concern_v his_o friend_n who_o have_v no_o hand_n in_o it_o but_o true_o that_o will_v hardly_o be_v credible_a if_o he_o do_v not_o affirm_v it_o for_o not_o many_o line_n before_o the_o person_n of_o quality_n be_v accuse_v for_o design_v to_o cast_v a_o blemish_n on_o the_o last_o and_o most_o solemn_a act_n of_o his_o life_n upon_o which_o if_o this_o be_v true_a it_o seem_v his_o friend_n set_v no_o very_o great_a value_n for_o methinks_v it_o be_v pretty_a odd_a that_o what_o be_v sign_v and_o assert_v so_o solemn_o shall_v be_v immediate_o so_o expose_v that_o the_o witness_n and_o friend_n shall_v neither_o know_v how_o nor_o why_o it_o be_v make_v public_a but_o that_o be_v a_o query_n that_o i_o believe_v it_o be_v not_o convenient_a to_o answer_v and_o so_o do_v very_o well_o to_o start_v a_o new_a question_n and_o although_o he_o will_v not_o tell_v you_o why_o the_o profession_n be_v publish_v though_o he_o know_v it_o as_o well_o as_o most_o man_n in_o england_n yet_o he_o will_v tell_v you_o as_o good_a a_o thing_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o bishop_n make_v it_o but_o before_o he_o can_v do_v that_o he_o must_v have_v other_o fling_n at_o the_o person_n of_o quality_n in_o who_o he_o have_v make_v such_o discovery_n as_o i_o dare_v say_v you_o in_o so_o many_o year_n acquaintance_n have_v never_o make_v but_o quality_n indeed_o be_v a_o very_a desirable_a thing_n if_o it_o will_v make_v one_o more_o sagacious_a than_o other_o people_n but_o poor_a i_o be_o like_a to_o lose_v my_o gentility_n because_o i_o be_o not_o so_o quick-sighted_a as_o to_o see_v what_o be_v so_o obvious_a to_o person_n of_o less_o rank_n and_o quality_n than_o i_o will_v be_v think_v of_o for_o still_o he_o will_v be_v divine_v my_o thought_n but_o have_v hitherto_o be_v so_o much_o out_o that_o i_o will_v not_o advise_v he_o to_o set_v up_o for_o a_o fortune-teller_n of_o all_o thing_n unless_o he_o can_v make_v better_a guess_n at_o other_o people_n hand_n than_o he_o have_v from_o my_o write_n for_o although_o i_o do_v extreme_o value_v the_o esteem_n of_o good_a man_n yet_o i_o never_o desire_v either_o to_o be_v or_o to_o be_v think_v a_o great_a man._n so_o that_o without_o any_o offence_n he_o may_v believe_v i_o a_o chimney-sweeper_n or_o a_o cobbler_n if_o he_o please_v but_o now_o he_o tell_v we_o 14._o that_o all_o man_n of_o reason_n know_v that_o the_o reason_n for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o passive_a obedience_n can_v not_o be_v contain_v in_o so_o small_a a_o compass_n and_o be_v not_o well_o consistent_a with_o the_o design_n of_o a_o profession_n but_o if_o the_o design_n of_o it_o be_v to_o give_v the_o world_n satisfaction_n and_o that_o in_o a_o controvert_v point_n which_o be_v no_o fundamental_a of_o the_o faith_n nor_o any_o way_n essential_a either_o to_o the_o be_v or_o wellbeing_a of_o the_o church_n then_o i_o can_v

both_o shall_v have_v be_v very_o glad_a to_o have_v see_v the_o bishop_n reason_n for_o his_o adhere_n so_o stiff_o to_o that_o doctrine_n for_o with_o submission_n to_o the_o reverend_a author_n what_o satisfaction_n soever_o it_o may_v give_v the_o good_a bishop_n in_o the_o make_n the_o publish_n have_v not_o give_v the_o world_n very_o much_o for_o it_o only_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o
