that_o the_o convocation_n mean_v by_o it_o to_o this_o the_o doctor_n reply_v as_o for_o what_o he_o say_v that_o i_o will_v not_o distinguish_v between_o the_o mean_n of_o acquire_a power_n and_o the_o power_n itself_o i_o do_v not_o indeed_o distinguish_v as_o he_o do_v but_o i_o distinguish_v as_o the_o convocation_n do_v that_o the_o mean_n be_v wicked_a but_o the_o power_n and_o

that_o be_v god_n the_o convocation_n mention_n not_o other_o but_o a_o government_n thorough_o settle_v and_o if_o the_o convocation_n distinguish_v between_o these_o as_o it_o plain_o do_v than_o the_o convocation_n distinguish_v as_o i_o do_v whatever_o the_o doctor_n distinguish_v and_o by_o reason_n of_o that_o distinction_n it_o can_v be_v conclude_v from_o the_o convocation_n that_o because_o they_o speak_v of_o the_o ambition_n of_o encroach_a king_n and_o the_o rebellion_n of_o subject_n as_o a_o mean_n whereby_o government_n have_v be_v alter_v therefore_o by_o a_o

and_o condemn_v the_o wicked_a mean_n of_o acquire_a power_n and_o the_o doctor_n seem_v from_o thence_o to_o conclude_v that_o by_o a_o government_n thorough_o settle_v they_o mean_v usurp_v power_n he_o say_v here_o 4._o vindic._n p._n 4._o when_o the_o convocation_n speak_v of_o the_o settlement_n of_o illegal_a power_n which_o begin_v by_o ambition_n and_o rebellion_n where_o he_o manifest_o

the_o settlement_n of_o illegal_a power_n whereas_o the_o convocation_n speak_v not_o one_o word_n of_o the_o settlement_n of_o illegal_a power_n they_o speak_v indeed_o of_o the_o settlement_n of_o

a_o right_n and_o terminate_v in_o a_o legal_a title_n and_o that_o i_o think_v be_v plain_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o convocation_n and_o that_o from_o this_o distinction_n for_o they_o express_o tell_v we_o in_o this_o chapter_n 57_o convoc_n p._n 57_o that_o their_o attempt_n to_o acquire_v such_o government_n of_o all_o sort_n be_v wicked_a and_o detestable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n

what_o they_o do_v but_o what_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v that_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n do_v submit_v to_o she_o i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o dispute_n and_o it_o be_v as_o

that_o athaliah_n be_v not_o settle_v nor_o that_o they_o think_v she_o be_v but_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o she_o be_v a_o usurper_n and_o the_o right_a heir_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v alive_a and_o not_o because_o the_o people_n have_v not_o submit_v for_o if_o they_o do_v submit_v as_o the_o dr._n say_v they_o do_v that_o make_v no_o alteration_n in_o the_o case_n they_o be_v bind_v notwithstanding_o to_o return_v to_o their_o lawful_a ki_n g_o and_o to_o depose_v the_o usurper_n whether_o they_o have_v or_o not_o submit_v and_o the_o truth_n be_v there_o be_v scarce_o any_o

to_o lawful_a government_n 4._o although_o the_o dr._n here_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o principal_a part_n of_o a_o settlement_n be_v the_o submission_n of_o the_o estate_n and_o the_o great_a body_n

then_o i_o doubt_v half_a the_o former_a part_n of_o his_o book_n will_v come_v to_o nothing_o for_o i_o have_v assert_v that_o all_o the_o government_n the_o convocation_n require_v and_o justify_v

if_o all_o the_o government_n they_o justify_v the_o resistance_n of_o have_v not_o such_o a_o right_n than_o the_o distinction_n be_v between_o right_n and_o no_o right_n and_o then_o by_o a_o

and_o sovereign_n although_o athaliah_n keep_v he_o for_o six_o year_n from_o the_o possession_n of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o if_o they_o do_v not_o give_v this_o as_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o whole_a i_o wish_v the_o dr._n will_v tell_v i_o what_o they_o give_v it_o for_o but_o say_v the_o dr._n they_o only_o prove_v by_o this_o that_o she_o be_v a_o usurper_n who_o have_v no_o legal_a right_n to_o the_o throne_n the_o right_a heir_n be_v live_v now_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o this_o prove_v she_o a_o usurper_n but_o do_v not_o the_o divine_a entail_v prove_v she_o a_o usurper_n also_o that_o sure_o be_v the_o direct_a proof_n of_o it_o and_o the_o ground_n and_o reason_n why_o the_o other_o prove_v it_o the_o same_o law_n that_o declare_v the_o right_a to_o be_v in_o joash_n

the_o entail_v of_o the_o crown_n do_v and_o when_o his_o be_v alive_a and_o be_v their_o natural_a prince_n declare_v it_o so_o only_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o entail_v and_o i_o desire_v the_o

than_o what_o mean_v this_o trifle_a nicety_n why_o true_o the_o dr._n be_v afraid_a lest_o his_o belove_a usurpation_n shall_v suffer_v and_o therefore_o add_v that_o he_o believe_v i_o will_v own_o that_o they_o be_v two_o very_a different_a question_n whether_o such_o a_o prince_n be_v a_o usurper_n and_o whether_o he_o may_v be_v depose_v and_o murder_v murder_v be_v a_o very_a hard_a word_n and_o i_o do_v not_o care_v to_o meddle_v with_o it_o the_o convocation_n call_v it_o slay_v and_o i_o think_v with_o the_o drs._n leave_v there_o be_v some_o difference_n between_o slay_v and_o

whether_o a_o prince_n be_v a_o usurper_n and_o whether_o he_o may_v be_v depose_v and_o slay_v be_v two_o different_a question_n but_o i_o say_v likewise_o that_o whether_o a_o usurper_n may_v be_v depose_v and_o slay_v when_o the_o right_a heir_n be_v live_v be_v but_o one_o question_n and_o such_o a_o question_n too_o as_o the_o convocation_n make_v no_o difficulty_n to_o answer_v nor_o any_o author_n of_o note_n that_o i_o have_v meet_v with_o beside_o in_o any_o age_n who_o as_o far_o as_o my_o reâ—ding_n serve_v civilian_n historian_n divine_n have_v all_o unanimous_o assert_v that_o

renew_v my_o request_n to_o the_o dr._n and_o desire_v he_o to_o show_v i_o any_o one_o approve_a author_n of_o any_o age_n that_o ever_o assert_v that_o tyrannus_n sine_fw-la titulo_fw-la may_v not_o

say_v that_o the_o convocation_n think_v of_o no_o such_o difference_n but_o that_o a_o thorough_a settlement_n of_o a_o government_n and_o though_o attain_v by_o the_o same_o ill_a mean_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o have_v god_n authority_n in_o judah_n as_o well_o as_o any_o other_o nation_n as_o in_o the_o instance_n of_o the_o babylonian_n macedonian_n and_o roman_n who_o government_n over_o the_o jew_n be_v not_o attain_v by_o honest_a mean_n than_o athaliahs_n and_o be_v as_o much_o contrary_n to_o the_o entail_v upon_o david_n house_n as_o she_o and_o yet_o they_o justify_v and_o require_v obedience_n to_o they_o but_o justify_v the_o slay_v of_o she_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o by_o a_o thorough_a settlement_n they_o do_v not_o mean_v a_o full_a possession_n of_o power_n for_o what_o the_o dr._n have_v leave_v out_o athaliah_n have_v as_o full_a possion_n of_o power_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n as_o have_v the_o babylonian_n macedonian_n or_o roman_n nor_o do_v they_o reckon_v god_n entail_v upon_o david_n posterity_n any_o ground_n of_o difference_n in_o this_o matter_n for_o the_o government_n of_o judah_n by_o the_o babylonian_n be_v as_o much_o contrary_n to_o that_o entail_v as_o the_o government_n of_o athaliah_n now_o say_v the_o dr._n all_o this_o be_v answer_v in_o one_o word_n the_o entail_v god_n make_v upon_o david_n be_v posterity_n do_v always_o oblige_v the_o jew_n when_o they_o be_v at_o their_o own_o choice_n and_o have_v power_n enough_o to_o take_v the_o king_n on_o who_o god_n have_v entail_v the_o crown_n which_o be_v evident_o their_o case_n when_o jehoiada_n anoint_v joash_n and_o slay_v athaliah_n but_o when_o they_o be_v under_o force_n as_o they_o be_v under_o the_o babylonian_n macedonian_n and_o roman_n no_o entail_v tho_o make_v by_o god_n himself_o can_v bind_v they_o and_o then_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v be_v grant_v that_o no_o humane_a entail_v can_v bind_v any_o people_n who_o be_v under_o force_n if_o a_o divine_a entail_v can_v do_v it_o
to_o this_o i_o answer_v this_o be_v no_o answer_n to_o the_o main_a point_n the_o question_n be_v whether_o in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o convocation_n a_o thorough_a settlement_n by_o what_o mean_v soever_o attain_v do_v not_o oblige_v the_o subject_n of_o judah_n to_o obedience_n as_o much_o as_o in_o any_o other_o country_n and_o though_o contrary_a to_o the_o entail_v on_o david_n posterity_n and_o it_o be_v plain_a they_o think_v so_o for_o they_o urge_v the_o very_a same_o duty_n of_o obedience_n and_o nonresistance_n to_o the_o babylonian_n and_o the_o roman_n as_o they_o do_v to_o the_o king_n of_o david_n family_n the_o babylonian_n and_o roman_n when_o their_o government_n be_v thorough_o settle_v among_o they_o their_o authority_n be_v as_o sacred_a and_o irresistible_a as_o joash_n or_o any_o other_o of_o their_o king_n who_o be_v so_o by_o the_o divine_a entail_v and_o let_v the_o dr._n if_o he_o can_v show_v i_o any_o one_o duty_n of_o subject_n which_o they_o require_v as_o due_a to_o the_o king_n of_o judah_n by_o the_o divine_a entail_v which_o they_o do_v not_o also_o require_v as_o equal_o due_a to_o the_o babylonian_n and_o roman_n which_o be_v clear_a to_o a_o demonstration_n that_o they_o think_v of_o no_o such_o difference_n in_o this_o matter_n but_o that_o a_o thorough_a settlement_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o every_o way_n as_o valid_a as_o in_o any_o other_o country_n and_o the_o inference_n be_v plain_a that_o therefore_o whatever_o possession_n of_o power_n athaliah_n have_v and_o whatever_o submission_n there_o be_v of_o the_o people_n to_o she_o afore_o that_o the_o dr._n be_v resolve_v to_o suppose_v they_o do_v not_o mean_a that_o to_o be_v the_o thorough_a settlement_n which_o have_v god_n authority_n and_o to_o which_o obedience_n be_v due_a for_o they_o urge_v obedience_n and_o nonresistance_n to_o the_o babylonian_n and_o roman_n but_o justify_v the_o depose_n and_o slay_v of_o athaliah_n but_o to_o this_o which_o be_v the_o main_a question_n the_o dr._n say_v not_o one_o word_n and_o all_o that_o he_o say_v be_v that_o when_o they_o be_v at_o their_o own_o choice_n and_o have_v power_n they_o be_v bind_v to_o take_v the_o king_n on_o who_o god_n entail_v the_o crown_n but_o when_o they_o be_v under_o force_n no_o entail_v tho_o make_v by_o god_n himself_o can_v bind_v they_o and_o what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o the_o convocation_n speak_v of_o a_o thorough_a settlement_n without_o any_o respect_n to_o the_o difference_n between_o divine_a and_o humane_a entail_v what_o if_o the_o dr._n to_o save_v a_o better_a answer_n have_v find_v a_o difference_n between_o choice_n and_o force_n the_o convocation_n take_v as_o little_a notice_n of_o

he_o be_v for_o distinguish_v between_o divine_a and_o humane_a entail_v and_o athaliah_n may_v be_v depose_v and_o slay_v because_o she_o be_v a_o usurper_n against_o a_o divine_a entail_v and_o her_o government_n be_v a_o nullity_n when_o the_o right_a heir_n appear_v when_o he_o be_v press_v with_o the_o instance_n of_o the_o babylonian_n and_o roman_n who_o according_a to_o he_o be_v

they_o be_v oblige_v to_o take_v the_o king_n by_o god_n entail_v when_o under_o force_n god_n entail_v do_v not_o bind_v they_o so_o that_o this_o last_o distinction_n have_v eat_v up_o the_o

the_o make_v no_o difference_n between_o a_o legal_a right_n to_o the_o crown_n and_o a_o legal_a right_n of_o subject_n to_o their_o estate_n but_o the_o dr._n apprehend_v a_o great_a difference_n that_o in_o settle_v a_o estate_n nothing_o more_o be_v require_v but_o a_o mere_a humane_a right_n but_o to_o make_v a_o legal_a king_n beside_o a_o humane_a right_n to_o the_o crown_n he_o must_v have_v god_n authority_n nothing_o but_o a_o legal_a descent_n and_o possession_n give_v right_o to_o a_o legal_a estate_n and_o therefore_o the_o law_n must_v have_v its_o effect_n and_o be_v the_o only_a adequate_a rule_n of_o right_n and_o wrong_n in_o such_o case_n and_o though_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n allot_v man_n private_a fortune_n yet_o he_o give_v no_o man_n a_o right_a to_o a_o

the_o care_n of_o public_a government_n but_o if_o a_o mere_a humane_a right_n can_v make_v a_o king_n but_o god_n authority_n make_v a_o king_n if_o god_n reserve_v this_o authority_n in_o his_o own_o hand_n and_o do_v not_o inseparable_o annex_v it_o to_o humane_a entail_v of_o the_o crown_n if_o god_n authority_n without_o a_o humane_a right_n can_v make_v a_o king_n but_o humane_a law_n can_v make_v a_o king_n without_o god_n authority_n this_o may_v satisfy_v we_o that_o when_o god_n think_v fit_a to_o interpose_v his_o authority_n a_o mere_a legal_a right_n be_v not_o sufficient_a reason_n to_o adhere_v to_o a_o prince_n god_n have_v remove_v from_o the_o throne_n nor_o the_o want_n of_o a_o legal_a right_n sufficient_a reason_n to_o disow_v a_o prince_n who_o god_n have_v

conclusion_n be_v draw_v from_o one_o of_o they_o for_o how_o do_v it_o follow_v because_o god_n have_v annex_v his_o authority_n to_o the_o legal_a office_n therefore_o no_o prince_n have_v his_o

the_o rightful_a prince_n have_v authority_n and_o be_v a_o avenger_n of_o a_o usurper_n and_o so_o henry_n of_o richmond_n be_v authorize_v by_o god_n ordinance_n i._n e._n he_o be_v the_o right_a

have_v authority_n to_o execute_v vengeance_n on_o he_o which_o every_o one_o may_v not_o which_o perhaps_o no_o other_o may_v have_v do_v save_o only_a in_o his_o right_n and_o interest_n and_o by_o

who_o lawful_o receive_v commission_n from_o he_o may_v lawful_o fight_v in_o his_o quarrel_n but_o the_o great_a question_n still_o remain_v whether_o subject_n may_v lawful_o take_v commission_n from_o the_o dispossess_v prince_n to_o fight_v against_o the_o prince_n who_o be_v settle_v in_o the_o possession_n of_o the_o throne_n this_o dr._n jackson_n do_v not_o say_v and_o therefore_o he_o can_v do_v our_o author_n no_o service_n right_o he_o do_v not_o say_v it_o nor_o be_v there_o any_o reason_n for_o it_o but_o this_o he_o say_v that_o the_o right_a heir_n or_o dispossess_v prince_n be_v the_o high_a power_n and_o it_o be_v a_o great_a question_n indeed_o whether_o the_o subject_n may_v lawful_o take_v a_o commission_n from_o the_o high_a power_n and_o the_o instance_n make_v this_o as_o clear_a as_o the_o sun_n dr._n jackson_n say_v perhaps_o no_o other_o person_n may_v have_v do_v it_o save_v only_o in_o his_o right_n and_o interest_n and_o by_o his_o commission_n and_o

settle_v in_o the_o possession_n of_o the_o throne_n the_o truth_n be_v any_o man_n who_o be_v not_o concern_v it_o shall_v mean_v otherwise_o will_v easy_o see_v that_o what_o dr._n jackson_n here_o obviate_v be_v the_o resist_a or_o kill_v a_o usurper_n of_o a_o man_n own_o private_a head_n but_o by_o no_o mean_n to_o prejudice_v the_o right_n and_o interest_n of_o the_o lawful_a prince_n as_o appear_v plain_o by_o the_o former_a limitation_n that_o the_o act_n of_o a_o false_a magistrate_n be_v of_o validity_n and_o his_o person_n be_v to_o be_v obey_v until_o he_o be_v declare_v a_o

of_o richmond_n have_v declare_v richard_n a_o usurper_n as_o he_o manifest_o do_v by_o make_v war_n upon_o he_o the_o validity_n of_o his_o act_n of_o government_n and_o obedience_n to_o his_o person_n fall_v from_o he_o and_o centre_v in_o the_o high_a power_n and_o in_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v ridiculous_a to_o question_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o take_v commission_n from_o the_o high_a power_n to_o fight_v against_o a_o prince_n who_o have_v no_o authority_n and_o when_o there_o be_v no_o obedience_n due_a to_o he_o and_o by_o this_o time_n the_o dr._n may_v see_v what_o great_a reason_n he_o have_v to_o appeal_v to_o his_o reader_n to_o judge_v on_o which_o side_n dr._n jackson_n be_v as_o to_o the_o validity_n of_o the_o act_n of_o government_n by_o a_o

we_o have_v now_o see_v how_o much_o that_o which_o he_o have_v cite_v out_o of_o dr._n jackson_n make_v for_o he_o in_o the_o next_o place_n let_v we_o consider_v how_o much_o that_o which_o i_o have_v cite_v make_v against_o he_o he_o do_v not_o care_n to_o repeat_v it_o but_o thus_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o concern_v the_o case_n of_o usurpation_n he_o who_o be_v a_o mere_a usurper_n or_o a_o tyrant_n by_o title_n may_v be_v resist_v by_o violence_n even_o to_o deposition_n or_o death_n albeit_o he_o happen_v to_o exercise_v his_o power_n with_o such_o moderation_n as_o will_v become_v a_o just_a and_o lawful_a king_n it_o be_v a_o truth_n unquestionable_a that_o a_o tyrant_n by_o title_n etc._n etc._n may_v be_v resist_v without_o resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v plain_a for_o that_o he_o can_v neither_o usurp_v nor_o continue_v his_o power_n otherwise_o than_o by_o resist_v some_o high_a power_n or_o by_o resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o among_o other_o he_o instance_n in_o case_n he_o usurp_v or_o exercise_n royal_a authority_n over_o such_o as_o have_v be_v former_o govern_v by_o royal_a succession_n he_o open_o resist_v power_n much_o high_a than_o his_o own_o whether_o this_o power_n be_v yet_o actual_o annex_v to_o some_o know_a person_n that_o have_v right_o or_o title_n to_o the_o kingdom_n by_o succession_n or_o whether_o in_o defect_n of_o the_o ancient_a royal_a issue_n etc._n etc._n from_o hence_o these_o thing_n be_v plain_a 1._o that_o a_o usurper_n may_v just_o be_v resist_v and_o depose_v and_o therefore_o he_o have_v not_o the_o irresistible_a authority_n of_o a_o sovereign_a prince_n and_o the_o drs._n title_n to_o his_o book_n and_o his_o hypothesis_n do_v not_o agree_v the_o title_n be_v the_o case_n of_o allegiance_n due_a to_o sovereign_a prince_n and_o his_o hypothesis_n concern_v only_a obedience_n to_o usurp_v power_n 2._o the_o formal_a reason_n why_o they_o may_v be_v resist_v or_o depose_v be_v because_o they_o resist_v some_o high_a power_n or_o they_o resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o from_o whence_o it_o plain_o and_o undeniable_o follow_v 1._o that_o usurper_n be_v not_o the_o high_a power_n nor_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v a_o contradiction_n to_o say_v that_o those_o be_v the_o high_a power_n or_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n who_o very_a essence_n and_o constitution_n consist_v in_o resist_v they_o and_o this_o strike_v at_o the_o root_n of_o both_o the_o doctor_n book_n 2._o that_o the_o right_a heir_n or_o the_o king_n out_o of_o possession_n be_v the_o high_a power_n
