A91718	A revindication of Psalme 105. 15. Touch not mine anointed, &c. from some false glosses, now and heretofore obtruded upon it by Anabaptists: proving that this divine inhibition chiefly concerns subjects: who let them be never so Gods servants, yet are they not Gods anointed as well as kings. Being a reply to a late seditious pamphlet, called A vindication, &c.		1643 (1643)	Wing R1202; Thomason E245_28; ESTC R3804	12,963	16

must_v by_o no_o mean_n be_v proper_o so_o mean_v tell_v he_o he_o be_v nothing_o so_o tender_a of_o the_o sacred_a person_n as_o he_o pretend_v that_o see_v he_o can_v say_v nothing_o against_o that_o place_n where_o the_o ordinance_n be_v not_o to_o be_v resist_v he_o only_o seek_v to_o cavil_n at_o that_o place_n where_o the_o person_n be_v not_o to_o be_v touch_v and_o if_o to_o excuse_v

well_o be_v produce_v to_o such_o a_o purpose_n but_o only_o to_o vindicate_v this_o of_o the_o psalmist_n in_o particular_a from_o the_o large_a application_n as_o he_o yield_v to_o the_o strict_a

satisfy_v with_o this_o truth_n that_o the_o lord_n anoint_v be_v not_o to_o be_v touch_v nor_o the_o high_a power_n resist_v why_o then_o labour_v he_o to_o vindicate_v one_o text_n from_o it_o when_o he_o know_v there_o be_v beside_o so_o many_o to_o be_v produce_v for_o it_o so_o that_o it_o be_v more_o than_o manifest_a it_o be_v not_o a_o misapply_v proof_n as_o he_o pretend_v but_o the_o main_a truth_n of_o all_o that_o he_o strike_v at_o presume_v that_o the_o ill_a affect_a and_o easy_o blind_v through_o a_o conceive_a vindication_n of_o one_o place_n will_v think_v but_o slight_o of_o all_o other_o place_n to_o that_o purpose_n 2._o if_o he_o do_v only_o intend_v ingenuous_o to_o vindicate_v this_o place_n of_o the_o psalm_n then_o what_o do_v those_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n crowd_v in_o the_o title_n page_n not_o only_o so_o impertinent_a to_o the_o pretend_a vindication_n but_o so_o calumnious_a so_o scandalous_a and_o that_o i_o may_v not_o say_v treasonable_a mere_o tend_v to_o faction_n to_o sedition_n even_o that_o very_a thing_n argue_v evident_o he_o never_o mean_v to_o vindicate_v the_o single_a place_n of_o scripture_n at_o the_o top_n but_o only_o to_o calumniate_v and_o instigate_v by_o those_o many_o impertinence_n of_o abuse_a scripture_n at_o the_o bottom_n of_o his_o title_n page_n as_o indeed_o he_o do_v by_o all_o those_o misconstrue_v and_o misapply_v scripture_n this_o seditious_a libill_n quite_o throughout_o thus_o without_o doubt_n you_o have_v his_o whole_a intent_n but_o now_o let_v we_o examine_v he_o according_a to_o his_o pretence_n he_o will_v vindicate_v that_o verse_n of_o the_o psalm_n from_o some_o false_a gloss_n late_o obtrude_v on_o it_o by_o royalist_n speak_v as_o like_o a_o vulgarist_n as_o may_v be_v who_o common_a interpretation_n of_o scripture_n be_v of_o more_o error_n than_o the_o vulgar_a translation_n itself_o since_o he_o be_v such_o a_o zealous_a vindicator_n of_o text_n from_o false_a gloss_n why_o undertake_v he_o none_o of_o those_o many_o hundred_o of_o place_n corrupt_v and_o wrest_v by_o the_o papist_n and_o by_o the_o anabaptist_n both_o author_n and_o fautour_n of_o the_o great_a heresy_n and_o schism_n nay_o why_o vindicate_v he_o not_o this_o very_a psalm_n and_o verse_n from_o the_o papist_n that_o have_v take_v it_o from_o king_n and_o give_v it_o to_o pope_n as_o for_o the_o papist_n he_o nibble_v indeed_o a_o little_a at_o they_o and_o let_v you_o understand_v their_o false_a gloss_n upon_o the_o place_n have_v be_v long_o since_o explode_v but_o yet_o he_o be_v envious_a and_o tell_v you_o not_o by_o who_o to_o say_v truth_n it_o be_v do_v not_o by_o any_o vulgarist_n or_o separatist_n but_o by_o such_o as_o he_o call_v rovallist_n and_o court-divines_a man_n of_o learning_n piety_n loyalty_n order_n discretion_n nay_o and_o why_o vindicate_v he_o not_o this_o very_a psalm_n and_o verse_n from_o the_o anabaptist_n that_o have_v take_v it_o from_o both_o king_n and_o priest_n and_o give_v it_o to_o the_o common_a people_n ha_o the_o anabaptist_n why_o it_o be_v only_o in_o their_o justification_n and_o behalf_n that_o he_o be_v so_o eager_a in_o the_o vindication_n who_o have_v much_o abuse_v the_o place_n to_o extirpate_v prelacy_n confound_v magistracy_n and_o induce_v anarchy_n by_o plant_v here_o their_o own_o idol_n of_o confusion_n parity_n hence_o seek_v to_o heighten_v the_o vulgar_a first_o to_o a_o spiritual_a pride_n and_o so_o to_o a_o civil_a rebellion_n as_o well_o witness_n that_o his_o main_a collection_n hereupon_o with_o all_o the_o dependence_n that_o subject_n be_v god_n anoint_a as_o well_o as_o king_n etc._n etc._n which_o sound_v paradoxall_a to_o any_o sensible_a ear_n and_o mark_v i_o well_o if_o together_o with_o that_o all_o other_o the_o proof_n in_o this_o vindication_n prove_v not_o such_o 1._o paradox_n that_o this_o divine_a inhibition_n be_v give_v to_o king_n not_o to_o subject_n give_v have_v a_o fallacy_n in_o it_o mean_v he_o by_o way_n of_o direction_n or_o by_o way_n of_o obligation_n if_o by_o way_n of_o obligation_n then_o this_o must_v follow_v that_o king_n be_v here_o inhibit_v to_o touch_v or_o harm_n subject_n but_o subject_n not_o inhibit_v here_o but_o rather_o leave_v at_o liberty_n to_o touch_v and_o harm_n king_n but_o as_o for_o the_o mere_a direction_n 1._o it_o be_v not_o so_o palpable_a that_o these_o word_n be_v direct_v to_o king_n and_o therefore_o the_o ancient_a father_n who_o this_o man_n will_v have_v conclude_v after_o his_o exposition_n say_v plain_o that_o these_o word_n be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o history_n but_o if_o god_n utter_v they_o it_o be_v by_o a_o angel_n or_o some_o secret_a instinct_n and_o although_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o precede_a verse_n of_o the_o psalm_n he_o reprove_v king_n for_o their_o sake_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o so_o evident_a and_o express_a that_o he_o reprove_v there_o by_o this_o say_n for_o as_o much_o as_o say_v be_v not_o in_o the_o hebrew_n and_o therefore_o this_o man_n be_v somewhat_o too_o confident_a when_o say_v even_o to_o king_n themselves_o he_o peremptory_o gloss_n upon_o a_o word_n not_o find_v in_o the_o text_n 2._o if_o we_o look_v to_o the_o party_n literal_o and_o historical_o here_o concern_v abraham_n isaac_n jacob_n their_o story_n plain_o tell_v that_o the_o inhibition_n touch_v not_o be_v not_o so_o much_o direct_v from_o god_n to_o the_o king_n as_o from_o the_o king_n to_o their_o subject_n concern_v they_o
