clear_a demonstration_n that_o by_o a_o thorough_a settlement_n the_o convocation_n do_v not_o mean_v a_o full_a possession_n of_o power_n mere_o for_o they_o say_v when_o a_o government_n be_v full_o

the_o convocation_n say_v not_o a_o word_n of_o she_o through_o settlement_n nor_o do_v think_v she_o settle_v on_o the_o throne_n it_o be_v as_o plain_a as_o the_o sun_n that_o by_o a_o thorough_a

thus_o the_o drs._n argument_n be_v lose_v if_o to_o have_v it_o perfect_o confute_v from_o his_o own_o word_n be_v to_o have_v it_o lose_v but_o no_o matter_n for_o that_o let_v the_o drs._n

to_o they_o they_o urge_v it_o and_o so_o do_v jehoiada_n to_o justify_v his_o proceed_n as_o act_v
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

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

the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n sufficient_o distinguish_v it_o he_o reply_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n distinguish_v between_o a_o legal_a king_n and_o a_o usurper_n but_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n do_v not_o prove_v that_o usurp_a power_n be_v not_o the_o high_a power_n and_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v obey_v but_o i_o think_v prove_v the_o quite_o contrary_a that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n distinguish_v between_o who_o have_v and_o who_o have_v not_o a_o right_n to_o the_o government_n and_o that_o i_o think_v be_v sufficient_a to_o distinguish_v

the_o precept_n to_o obey_v parent_n husband_n master_n do_v not_o express_o distinguish_v between_o those_o which_o be_v and_o those_o which_o be_v not_o so_o for_o it_o be_v always_o imply_v and_o

there_o be_v to_o submit_v to_o lawful_a and_o not_o unlawful_a governor_n but_o i_o think_v for_o all_o that_o no_o body_n question_n of_o who_o the_o precept_n be_v intend_v or_o that_o those_o

natural_a prince_n and_o a_o violation_n of_o that_o precept_n to_o give_v to_o every_o one_o their_o due_a to_o this_o the_o dr._n answer_v here_o be_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v 1._o the_o right_n to_o the_o crown_n 2._o the_o right_n to_o allegiance_n as_o for_o the_o first_o the_o substance_n of_o his_o answer_n be_v the_o fundamental_a prejudice_n and_o mistake_v seem_v to_o be_v 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 estate_n which_o he_o get_v by_o fraud_n nor_o exempt_v they_o from_o legal_a punishment_n but_o leave_v all_o such_o mere_a legal_a right_n under_o the_o general_a influence_n of_o providence_n to_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

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

and_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n for_o otherwise_o it_o can_v not_o be_v say_v that_o a_o intruder_n into_o the_o office_n royal_a can_v never_o usurp_v or_o continue_v his_o power_n otherwise_o then_o by_o resist_v some_o high_a power_n or_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o as_o he_o afterward_o express_v it_o with_o respect_n to_o a_o government_n by_o succession_n he_o the_o usurper_n

naked_o express_v without_o any_o opposition_n to_o a_o king_n de_fw-fr jure_fw-la either_o mention_v or_o suppose_v 2._o the_o matter_n plain_o prove_v that_o it_o can_v be_v speak_v in_o opposition_n to_o a_o king_n de_fw-fr jure_fw-la which_o be_v that_o the_o king_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la may_v not_o be_v murder_v by_o his_o subject_n but_o if_o a_o king_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la be_v

with_o reference_n to_o ahud_n kill_a king_n eglon_n and_o therefore_o king_n eglon_n be_v but_o a_o king_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la but_o then_o this_o be_v a_o reason_n that_o the_o convocation_n do_v not_o speak_v it_o in_o opposition_n to_o a_o king_n de_fw-fr jure_fw-la for_o in_o the_o chapter_n to_o this_o canon_n they_o speak_v with_o reference_n to_o the_o same_o that_o the_o lord_n may_v and_o be_v able_a to_o overthrow_v any_o king_n or_o emperor_n notwithstanding_o any_o claim_n right_o title_n or_o interest_n which_o they_o can_v challenge_v to_o their_o country_n kingdom_n or_o

do_v make_v it_o know_v to_o we_o that_o although_o the_o lord_n may_v and_o be_v able_a to_o overthrow_v etc._n etc._n and_o the_o doctor_n tell_v we_o but_o the_o page_n before_o 9_o p._n 9_o that_o there_o be_v no_o sense_n to_o be_v make_v of_o these_o word_n if_o they_o do_v not_o prove_v god_n sovereign_a authority_n to_o remove_v and_o pull_v down_o the_o most_o rightful_a king_n etc._n etc._n and_o this_o be_v speak_v with_o reference_n to_o god_n pull_v down_o king_n eglon_n by_o ahud_o but_o then_o eglon_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o king_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la in_o opposition_n to_o a_o king_n de_fw-fr jure_fw-la that_o he_o be_v not_o only_o a_o rightful_a king_n but_o a_o most_o rightful_a king_n and_o therefore_o the_o mischief_n the_o doctor_n speak_v of_o that_o the_o convocation_n in_o express_a word_n own_v the_o king_n of_o the_o aramite_n and_o moabite_n to_o be_v only_a king_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la be_v no_o other_o mischief_n but_o that_o the_o doctor_n contradict_v himself_o but_o that_o be_v no_o mischief_n with_o he_o otherwise_o he_o will_v not_o use_v it_o so_o often_o and_o here_o we_o plain_o see_v the_o doctor_n be_v admirable_a dexterity_n in_o interpret_n the_o convocation_n to_o his_o own_o purpose_n the_o convocation_n say_v king_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la and_o no_o more_o but_o it_o seem_v that_o will_v not_o do_v and_o therefore_o the_o doctor_n say_v they_o say_v only_a king_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la and_o but_o king_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la but_o these_o addition_n which_o perfect_o alter_v the_o sense_n be_v no_o body_n but_o his_o own_o and_o yet_o it_o seem_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o put_v they_o in_o but_o he_o must_v tell_v we_o also_o the_o convocation_n in_o express_a word_n own_v they_o to_o be_v only_a king_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la when_o the_o convocation_n have_v not_o any_o such_o word_n or_o any_o thing_n like_o it_o the_o doctor_n proceed_v 11._o vindic._n p._n 11._o let_v we_o now_o see_v

and_o that_o be_v the_o submission_n both_o of_o prince_n and_o people_n well_o that_o be_v one_o of_o they_o but_o not_o all_o which_o say_v the_o doctor_n he_o say_v i_o grant_v give_v a_o legal_a

differ_v a_o little_a from_o grant_v it_o do_v so_o very_o good_a let_v it_o differ_v as_o little_a or_o as_o much_o as_o he_o please_v it_o be_v nothing_o to_o i_o for_o if_o he_o will_v look_v again_o he_o will_v find_v that_o i_o only_o say_v the_o doctor_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o submission_n of_o the_o prince_n etc._n etc._n and_o i_o think_v also_o that_o say_v he_o tell_v we_o differ_v a_o little_a from_o say_v he_o grant_v so_o that_o i_o think_v this_o may_v have_v be_v spare_v but_o the_o doctor_n have_v a_o mind_n to_o charge_v i_o with_o a_o fault_n and_o he_o have_v thereby_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v only_o guilty_a of_o it_o however_o i_o take_v this_o opportunity_n to_o tell_v he_o that_o it_o be_v indifferent_a to_o i_o whether_o or_o no_o he_o grant_v that_o the_o submission_n of_o the_o prince_n and_o people_n confer_v a_o legal_a right_n all_o the_o world_n beside_o grant_v it_o and_o that_o be_v sufficient_a for_o any_o ordinary_a principle_n though_o the_o doctor_n shall_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o like_v it_o nor_o any_o thing_n else_o though_o never_o so_o plain_a if_o it_o contradict_v his_o hypothesis_n but_o now_o the_o doctor_n

ambiguous_a term_n this_o be_v a_o terrible_a business_n if_o the_o doctor_n can_v but_o show_v we_o where_o this_o blunder_a and_o these_o ambiguous_a term_n be_v i_o have_v tell_v he_o as_o plain_a as_o i_o can_v speak_v that_o beside_o lineal_a descent_n a_o right_a to_o a_o government_n may_v be_v acquire_v by_o the_o death_n or_o session_n of_o the_o right_a heir_n join_v with_o the_o
