be_v of_o no_o religion_n at_o all_o treason_n in_o papist_n be_v like_o original_a sin_n to_o mankind_n they_o all_o have_v it_o in_o their_o nature_n though_o many_o of_o they_o may_v deny_v it_o

but_o i_o intend_v to_o consider_v such_o case_n as_o be_v think_v more_o probable_a and_o plausible_a and_o which_o be_v the_o common_a stumbling-block_n that_o lie_v in_o the_o way_n of_o this_o

near_o the_o brink_n of_o it_o they_o be_v these_o four_o the_o case_n of_o religion_n the_o case_n of_o legal_a right_n the_o case_n of_o natural_a defence_n and_o the_o otherwise_o remediless_a case_n of_o mankind_n by_o the_o encroachment_n of_o prince_n 1._o the_o case_n of_o religion_n which_o be_v the_o great_a and_o most_o important_a concern_v to_o mankind_n wherein_o their_o soul_n and_o their_o eternal_a fortune_n lie_v all_o at_o stake_n and_o both_o they_o and_o their_o posterity_n may_v loose_v what_o be_v more_o valuable_a than_o their_o life_n or_o estate_n if_o they_o

if_o a_o prince_n shall_v set_v up_o a_o false_a and_o idolatrous_a religion_n and_o attempt_v to_o destroy_v the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n here_o they_o think_v both_o a_o zeal_n for_o he_o and_o

shed_v the_o last_o drop_n of_o their_o blood_n for_o their_o religion_n and_o their_o temple_n if_o the_o protestant_a religion_n be_v like_a to_o be_v overthrow_v and_o popery_n to_o be_v bring_v in_o this_o be_v such_o a_o alarm_n to_o those_o who_o love_v the_o one_o and_o hate_v the_o other_o as_o will_v not_o fail_v to_o bring_v in_o vast_a number_n forcible_o to_o resist_v that_o prince_n who_o shall_v ever_o attempt_v it_o and_o think_v it_o their_o duty_n so_o to_o do_v to_o which_o i_o shall_v give_v this_o general_a answer_n that_o we_o may_v show_v our_o zeal_n and_o our_o love_n to_o our_o religion_n a_o better_a way_n than_o by_o thus_o resist_v and_o fight_v for_o it_o for_o that_o be_v to_o do_v what_o our_o religion_n express_o forbid_v which_o can_v no_o way_n consist_v with_o that_o love_n we_o shall_v have_v for_o it_o they_o who_o be_v such_o gallant_n for_o their_o religion_n as_o immediate_o to_o draw_v and_o fight_v for_o it_o do_v common_o abuse_v and_o prostitute_v it_o to_o some_o ill_a and_o carnal_a end_n and_o be_v seldom_o such_o chaste_a and_o constant_a and_o pure_a lover_n of_o it_o as_o they_o pretend_v our_o saviour_n and_o his_o apostle_n have_v without_o doubt_n as_o much_o love_n for_o christianity_n and_o be_v as_o zealous_a to_o preserve_v and_o maintain_v it_o as_o we_o can_v be_v but_o yet_o never_o think_v fit_a to_o show_v it_o this_o way_n by_o resist_v the_o authority_n that_o then_o be_v though_o it_o do_v all_o it_o can_v to_o destroy_v it_o there_o be_v another_o and_o a_o much_o better_a way_n to_o demonstrate_v the_o high_a affection_n for_o our_o religion_n and_o that_o be_v by_o suffer_v for_o it_o and_o endure_v all_o manner_n of_o evil_n rather_o then_o forsake_v it_o and_o this_o be_v a_o likely_a method_n to_o preserve_v and_o propagate_v it_o and_o to_o transmit_v it_o down_o to_o posterity_n both_o with_o safety_n and_o credit_n by_o this_o very_a way_n christianity_n have_v come_v down_o to_o we_o in_o a_o channel_n of_o blood_n indeed_o but_o that_o draw_v from_o its_o own_o friend_n and_o professor_n who_o lay_v down_o their_o life_n for_o it_o but_o not_o the_o least_o drop_n from_o its_o enemy_n the_o maccabee_n be_v zealous_a indeed_o for_o their_o law_n and_o fight_v for_o it_o but_o not_o against_o their_o own_o lawful_a prince_n but_o a_o enemy_n that_o invade_v they_o for_o such_o be_v antiochus_n who_o use_v all_o manner_n of_o provoke_a impiety_n and_o barbarous_a cruelty_n against_o the_o jew_n who_o be_v not_o his_o rightful_a subject_n and_o may_v therefore_o rescue_v themselves_o from_o his_o oppression_n and_o unjust_a usurpation_n at_o other_o time_n when_o any_o of_o the_o jewish_a king_n set_v up_o idolatry_n and_o worship_v baal_n or_o other_o false_a god_n none_o of_o the_o prophet_n who_o be_v the_o mo●st_o zealous_a lover_n of_o their_o law_n and_o rebuke_v the_o prince_n for_o those_o fault_n to_o their_o very_a face_n do_v yet_o ever_o call_v upon_o the_o elder_n or_o encourage_v the_o people_n

to_o resist_v they_o or_o to_o fight_v for_o their_o religion_n popery_n be_v a_o abominable_a and_o idolatrous_a religion_n the_o most_o corrupt_a of_o any_o sect_n or_o party_n that_o call_v itself_o christian_n and_o the_o most_o dangerous_a to_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n but_o it_o be_v a_o better_a way_n to_o keep_v it_o out_o with_o our_o hand_n bind_v to_o the_o stake_n then_o stretch_v out_o against_o our_o lawful_a sovereign_n and_o we_o shall_v show_v our_o love_n to_o protestancy_n much_o better_a by_o die_v for_o it_o ourselves_o if_o need_v be_v then_o by_o kill_v

other_o man_n life_n 2._o if_o man_n may_v not_o resist_v pure_o for_o religion_n and_o to_o defend_v that_o yet_o when_o they_o have_v law_n on_o their_o side_n either_o for_o their_o religion_n or_o any_o thing_n else_o and_o their_o prince_n who_o be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o law_n will_v yet_o act_v against_o it_o and_o despoil_v they_o of_o their_o civil_a right_n and_o privilege_n or_o invade_v their_o property_n and_o destroy_v their_o religion_n contrary_a to_o law_n and_o to_o the_o settle_a constitution_n of_o the_o kingdom_n then_o sure_o they_o may_v forcible_o descend_v

shall_v happen_v however_o foolish_a a_o constitution_n that_o have_v be_v yet_o the_o case_n have_v be_v much_o strong_a and_o the_o nullity_n of_o the_o allowance_n not_o so_o easy_a to_o be_v

of_o tacit_n or_o implicit_a condition_n the_o law_n make_v a_o express_a declaration_n to_o the_o contrary_a to_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v unlawful_a to_o resist_v upon_o any_o account_n whatsoever_o which_o put_v the_o thing_n out_o of_o all_o manner_n of_o dispute_n that_o we_o can_v by_o law_n resist_v though_o it_o be_v to_o defend_v what_o we_o have_v by_o law_n for_o that_o will_v be_v to_o

to_o this_o i_o shall_v answer_v three_o thing_n 1._o the_o law_n of_o nature_n can_v at_o most_o be_v say_v only_o to_o permit_v this_o not_o to_o enjoin_v it_o if_o there_o be_v a_o right_n of_o nature_n that_o allow_v this_o yet_o there_o can_v be_v a_o law_n that_o command_v it_o and_o oblige_v we_o to_o it_o but_o a_o man_n may_v still_o part_v with_o his_o natural_a right_n without_o

take_v away_o the_o life_n of_o another_o man_n and_o this_o to_o be_v sure_a be_v much_o the_o safe_a side_n which_o be_v out_o of_o all_o danger_n and_o undoubted_o lawful_a when_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n to_o fear_v that_o resist_a even_o in_o that_o case_n may_v prove_v damnable_a 2._o positive_a constitution_n may_v limit_v and_o restrain_v natural_a right_o in_o this_o or_o any_o other_o case_n or_o else_o all_o pact_n and_o covenant_n be_v in_o vain_a nay_o and_o all_o civil_a law_n whatsoever_o because_o they_o do_v all_o of_o they_o restrain_v man_n from_o that_o which_o before_o they_o have_v a_o natural_a right_n to_o and_o if_o we_o can_v by_o any_o mean_n be_v abridge_v of_o that_o than_o there_o be_v a_o end_n not_o only_o of_o all_o government_n but_o of_o all_o
