and_o subject_n be_v subject_n still_o and_o owe_v allegiance_n to_o he_o by_o this_o time_n i_o suppose_v the_o dr._n may_v know_v that_o something_o else_o may_v be_v say_v in_o this_o cause_n and_o i_o know_v no_o manner_n of_o necessity_n why_o we_o must_v say_v so_o now_o for_o the_o single_a question_n be_v whether_o actual_a government_n and_o allegiance_n be_v the_o relation_n that_o make_v

40._o that_o actual_a government_n and_o allegiance_n do_v not_o mutuo_fw-la se_fw-la ponere_fw-la &_o tollere_fw-la if_o a_o subject_a be_v take_v captive_a or_o otherwise_o hinder_v from_o pay_v actual_a allegiance_n be_v the_o relation_n lose_v and_o do_v he_o therefore_o immediate_o cease_v to_o be_v a_o subject_a and_o therefore_o neither_o do_v a_o king_n if_o he_o be_v hinder_v from_o the_o actual_a administration_n of_o government_n cease_v to_o be_v a_o king_n but_o have_v the_o same_o right_n to_o our_o allegiance_n in_o and_o out_o of_o possession_n to_o this_o the_o dr._n reply_v these_o two_o case_n be_v not_o parallel_v in_o the_o first_o case_n though_o the_o subject_n be_v take_v captive_a yet_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o relation_n be_v not_o destroy_v for_o his_o prince_n be_v on_o his_o throne_n still_o in_o the_o actual_a administration_n of_o government_n though_o he_o be_v violent_o tear_v from_o he_o so_o that_o his_o relation_n may_v continue_v because_o he_o have_v a_o prince_n to_o who_o he_o be_v relate_v but_o when_o the_o prince_n be_v fall_v from_o his_o kingdom_n and_o power_n the_o foundation_n of_o the_o relation_n be_v at_o

but_o to_o prepare_v a_o answer_n to_o a_o argument_n which_o otherwise_o he_o can_v not_o answer_v but_o for_o all_o this_o artifice_n he_o must_v have_v a_o good_a hand_n at_o reconcile_a contradiction_n that_o can_v reconcile_v this_o answer_n with_o his_o forego_v assertion_n the_o foundation_n of_o the_o drs._n argument_n be_v that_o government_n and_o allegiance_n be_v relation_n and_o do_v mutuo_fw-la se_fw-la ponere_fw-la &_o tollere_fw-la and_o then_o the_o cease_n of_o allegiance_n destroy_v the_o relation_n of_o government_n as_o much_o as_o the_o cease_n of_o government_n destroy_v the_o relation_n of_o allegiance_n and_o when_o a_o subject_a fall_n from_o his_o allegiance_n he_o dissolve_v the_o relation_n of_o the_o prince_n to_o he_o as_o much_o as_o the_o prince_n fall_v from_o actual_a government_n dissolve_v the_o relation_n of_o a_o subject_a for_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o muto_fw-la se_fw-la ponunt_fw-la &_o

and_o in_o the_o actual_a administration_n and_o therefore_o the_o subject_n be_v the_o subject_a still_o whatsoever_o become_v of_o his_o allegiance_n and_o that_o be_v nothing_o destroy_v the_o relation_n between_o king_n and_o subject_a but_o the_o prince_n lose_v actual_a government_n but_o than_o what_o become_v of_o mutuo_fw-la se_fw-la ponunt_fw-la &_o tollunt_fw-la and_o actual_a government_n and_o allegiance_n have_v a_o mutual_a and_o necessary_a respect_n to_o each_o other_o that_o be_v not_o for_o i_o to_o know_v and_o the_o dr._n may_v reconcile_v it_o and_o if_o he_o please_v he_o may_v take_v his_o fundamentum_fw-la relationis_fw-la along_o with_o he_o to_o help_v he_o out_o and_o yet_o after_o all_o i_o must_v confess_v the_o dr._n have_v give_v a_o very_a good_a answer_n for_o he_o say_v that_o the_o king_n be_v on_o the_o throne_n still_o though_o the_o subject_n be_v violent_o tear_v from_o he_o and_o the_o relation_n may_v continue_v because_o he_o have_v a_o prince_n to_o who_o he_o be_v relate_v and_o this_o be_v certain_o true_a but_o than_o it_o follow_v the_o relation_n of_o a_o prince_n may_v continue_v because_o he_o have_v subject_n to_o who_o he_o be_v relate_v for_o mutuo_fw-la se_fw-la ponunt_fw-la as_o well_o as_o tollunt_fw-la and_o if_o the_o relation_n of_o a_o subject_a continue_v though_o he_o be_v violent_o tear_v from_o

and_o society_n must_v hang_v together_o as_o well_o as_o they_o can_v for_o there_o be_v no_o bond_n and_o ligament_n of_o duty_n and_o conscience_n for_o he_o tell_v we_o very_o express_o that_o

70._o vind._n p._n 70._o he_o show_v there_o be_v other_o very_a great_a reason_n why_o they_o shall_v not_o submit_v and_o this_o he_o say_v answer_v all_o my_o little_a objection_n now_o we_o be_v

we_o arraign_v they_o all_o as_o resist_a god_n ordinance_n his_o answer_n be_v there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o two_o case_n and_o he_o undertake_v to_o show_v it_o upon_o many_o

the_o murder_n of_o one_o of_o the_o best_a prince_n i_o answer_v the_o dr._n maintain_v that_o submission_n be_v due_a to_o usurp_v power_n by_o what_o ill_a mean_n soever_o they_o attain_v it_o

this_o be_v a_o reason_n direct_o against_o all_o that_o he_o say_v here_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v all_o power_n be_v of_o god_n there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o confine_v this_o to_o all_o

which_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v true_a that_o the_o contrary_n be_v evident_a and_o the_o consequence_n be_v that_o this_o precept_n be_v to_o be_v interpret_v of_o all_o usurper_n or_o of_o

where_o in_o scripture_n all_o power_n and_o the_o present_a power_n and_o the_o obedience_n to_o they_o be_v limit_v to_o a_o national_a consent_n or_o where_o there_o be_v such_o a_o distinction_n that_o the_o high_a power_n by_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n ought_v to_o be_v obey_v and_o the_o high_a power_n without_o their_o consent_n may_v not_o if_o he_o will_v not_o undertake_v it_o all_o his_o argument_n from_o a_o national_a consent_n signify_v nothing_o if_o he_o will_v he_o must_v renounce_v with_o a_o witness_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v this_o business_n of_o the_o people_n consent_n seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v put_v in_o for_o no_o other_o end_n but_o to_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o a_o objection_n which_o the_o dr._n foresee_v will_v open_v wide_a upon_o he_o but_o do_v not_o at_o all_o concern_v his_o hypothesis_n which_o stand_v or_o fall_v without_o any_o manner_n of_o relation_n to_o it_o for_o how_o come_v the_o people_n to_o have_v any_o share_n in_o god_n

authority_n and_o their_o dissent_n make_v it_o no_o duty_n those_o man_n indeed_o that_o say_v that_o all_o power_n be_v original_o in_o the_o people_n and_o that_o they_o may_v resume_v it_o and_o dispose_v it_o as_o they_o please_v for_o they_o to_o say_v that_o the_o consent_n of_o a_o people_n settle_v a_o government_n or_o make_v it_o be_v agreeable_a enough_o to_o their_o principle_n and_o the_o people_n derive_v to_o the_o person_n govern_v the_o authority_n that_o be_v original_o in_o themselves_o but_o for_o they_o that_o maintain_v it_o as_o a_o principle_n that_o all_o sovereign_a authority_n be_v of_o god_n to_o talk_v of_o the_o people_n consent_n as_o necessary_a to_o make_v obedience_n a_o duty_n to_o that_o authority_n be_v a_o contradiction_n and_o it_o be_v a_o fine_a doctrine_n to_o say_v that_o the_o authority_n be_v derive_v from_o god_n but_o the_o obedience_n to_o it_o be_v derive_v from_o the_o people_n own_o consent_n and_o this_o it_o seem_v be_v the_o case_n here_o for_o the_o dr._n tell_v we_o with_o respect_n to_o those_o usurpation_n that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o submit_v to_o they_o though_o they_o be_v not_o bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o do_v it_o now_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o they_o to_o submit_v and_o become_v subject_n to_o those_o usurpation_n than_o they_o have_v god_n authority_n for_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o become_v subject_n to_o person_n who_o have_v not_o god_n authority_n if_o they_o be_v not_o bind_v in_o conscience_n than_o their_o obedience_n to_o god_n authority_n depend_v pure_o upon_o their_o own_o consent_n and_o that_o be_v god_n by_o his_o providence_n give_v the_o usurper_n authority_n and_o the_o people_n by_o their_o consent_n make_v it_o a_o duty_n to_o obey_v it_o and_o so_o the_o matter_n be_v divide_v the_o authority_n of_o government_n be_v from_o god_n and_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o people_n from_o themselves_o if_o the_o dr._n have_v a_o mind_n to_o deliver_v his_o present_a argument_n from_o these_o consequence_n let_v he_o give_v some_o other_o account_n of_o the_o people_n consent_n and_o i_o be_o afraid_a it_o must_v come_v to_o one_o of_o these_o two_o either_o that_o usurper_n have_v not_o god_n authority_n or_o if_o they_o have_v than_o the_o people_n consent_n be_v not_o necessary_a to_o make_v obedience_n a_o duty_n if_o the_o first_o than_o his_o hypothesis_n and_o most_o part_n of_o his_o two_o book_n signify_v nothing_o if_o the_o last_o than_o all_o that_o he_o say_v on_o the_o present_a head_n signify_v as_o little_a 2._o those_o
