they_o all_o call_v out_o promiscuous_o not_o withstand_v a_o great_a part_n of_o they_o no_o question_n have_v be_v in_o the_o defection_n and_o it_o can_v be_v say_v without_o groundless_a

as_o have_v be_v in_o the_o defection_n from_o rise_v in_o arm_n for_o the_o necessary_a defence_n &_o deliverance_n of_o the_o land_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a we_o find_v sad_a reproof_n &_o

&_o the_o covenant_n of_o god_n gracious_a reform_a king_n arise_v &_o have_v to_o do_v against_o foreign_a invasion_n we_o find_v not_o these_o king_n debar_v any_o subject_n but_o call_v they_o

forth_o for_o the_o defence_n &_o delivery_n of_o their_o brethren_n under_o pain_n of_o a_o severe_a civil_a censure_n wherein_o we_o desire_v these_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v 1._o that_o what_o

in_o obedience_n to_o the_o command_n they_o be_v also_o move_v thereunto_o of_o god_n by_o a_o impression_n of_o his_o fear_n make_v they_o to_o wit_n to_o reverence_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o

be_v take_v 4._o as_o all_o the_o body_n of_o the_o people_n be_v command_v to_o rise_v so_o all_o come_v forth_o as_o one_o man_n &_o yet_o cap._n 10._o v._o ult_n many_o among_o they_o as_o be_v apparent_a a_o great_a faction_n be_v son_n of_o belial_n wicked_a &_o turbulent_a person_n who_o malignant_o oppose_v the_o work_n &_o clear_o reveal_v will_n of_o god_n in_o call_v saul_n to_o the_o government_n of_o his_o people_n we_o desire_v that_o calvin_n sermon_n on_o that_o chapter_n be_v read_v wherein_o among_o other_o thing_n that_o make_v to_o our_o purpose_n it_o will_v be_v find_v that_o that_o learned_a judicious_a &_o pious_a writer_n do_v condemn_v the_o citizen_n of_o jabesh-gilead_a of_o much_o sinfulness_n for_o that_o they_o be_v so_o soon_o ready_a to_o yield_v unto_o &_o capitulat_v with_o the_o enemy_n &_o do_v not_o first_o pray_v to_o god_n and_o call_v for_o the_o help_n of_o their_o brethre_o the_o like_a whereof_o we_o be_v sorry_a that_o the_o course_n of_o some_o in_o this_o land_n at_o least_o in_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o work_n lead_v unto_o whileas_o the_o necessary_a help_n of_o fellow_n subject_n against_o a_o invade_a &_o oppress_v enemy_n be_v not_o only_o not_o call_v for_o but_o reject_v &_o oppose_v by_o they_o 4._o to_o reason_n in_o a_o more_o particular_a way_n to_o our_o case_n in_o hypothesi_fw-la we_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v consider_v that_o such_o as_o be_v exclude_v who_o be_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o remnant_n of_o the_o land_n if_o not_o the_o great_a part_n if_o rule_v of_o exclusion_n as_o they_o be_v urge_v in_o the_o letter_n be_v extend_v and_o apply_v equal_o &_o impartial_o have_v their_o life_n liberty_n and_o estate_n allow_v unto_o they_o must_v either_o be_v in_o these_o thing_n insure_v we_o mean_v in_o so_o far_o as_o be_v competent_a to_o man_n to_o do_v by_o interpose_v a_o competent_a power_n for_o their_o protection_n against_o the_o violence_n or_o if_o that_o can_v be_v give_v they_o as_o certain_o it_o can_v be_v give_v as_o the_o condition_n of_o this_o land_n now_o stand_v they_o must_v be_v allow_v to_o act_v for_o their_o defence_n nam_fw-la qui_fw-la that_fw-mi vitam_fw-la that_fw-mi necessaria_fw-la &_o consequentia_fw-la ad_fw-la vitam_fw-la now_o how_o shall_v they_o act_v and_o take_v up_o arm_n for_o their_o own_o defence_n and_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o country_n if_o they_o be_v not_o call_v thereunto_o and_o allow_v by_o authority_n if_o it_o shall_v be_v say_v that_o they_o may_v be_v permit_v to_o act_v for_o their_o own_o defence_n we_o repone_v that_o must_v either_o be_v in_o a_o joint_a way_n with_o other_o in_o the_o land_n &_o if_o so_o than_o the_o thing_n in_o question_n be_v grant_v upon_o the_o matter_n but_o in_o a_o way_n disorderlie_o and_o more_o dangerous_a then_o that_o which_o be_v desire_v and_o resolve_v upon_o or_o apart_o and_o by_o themselves_o certain_o that_o be_v a_o more_o ready_a way_n as_o the_o

act_v this_o way_n we_o come_v now_o to_o answer_v the_o reason_n &_o objection_n bring_v on_o the_o contrary_a and_o first_o we_o observe_v that_o no_o testimony_n or_o ground_n of_o scripture_n be_v allege_v in_o a_o head_n by_o themselves_o against_o the_o resolution_n to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v a_o course_n sinful_a in_o itself_o only_a in_o the_o first_o branch_n of_o the_o second_o reason_n

case_n be_v very_o much_o different_a that_o be_v of_o a_o invasive_a war_n wherein_o a_o association_n with_o malignant_n notour_o continue_v in_o their_o malignant_a course_n and_o that_o without_o any_o necessity_n there_o be_v sufficiency_n of_o honest_a man_n to_o have_v be_v employ_v have_v the_o cause_n be_v good_a this_o be_v of_o just_a and_o necessary_a defence_n against_o foreign_a

that_o but_o do_v not_o reach_v this_o we_o need_v say_v no_o more_o unless_o there_o be_v some_o show_n of_o proof_n to_o the_o contrary_a yet_o we_o shall_v say_v somewhat_o particular_o to_o one_o
