give_v he_o licence_n and_o authority_n to_o do_v it_o opportunity_n we_o say_v make_v a_o thief_n and_o it_o make_v a_o rebel_n and_o it_o make_v a_o murderer_n no_o man_n can_v do_v any_o

receive_v his_o power_n from_o god_n then_o it_o seem_v it_o be_v unlawful_a to_o resist_v he_o too_o or_o to_o conspire_v against_o he_o then_o all_o those_o loyal_a subject_n who_o refuse_v to_o

our_o natural_a prince_n to_o who_o we_o owe_v obedience_n and_o subjection_n be_v in_o be_v and_o therefore_o though_o such_o man_n may_v get_v the_o power_n into_o their_o hand_n by_o god_n permission_n yet_o not_o by_o god_n ordinance_n and_o he_o who_o resist_v they_o do_v not_o resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n but_o the_o usurpation_n of_o man_n in_o hereditary_a kingdom_n the_o

against_o the_o father_n and_o murder_n he_o continues_z a_o rebel_n in_o the_o reign_n of_o the_o son_n which_o commence_v with_o his_o father_n death_n it_o be_v otherwise_o indeed_o where_o none_o can_v pretend_v a_o great_a right_n to_o the_o crown_n than_o the_o usurper_n for_o there_o possession_n of_o power_n seem_v to_o give_v a_o right_n thus_o many_o of_o the_o roman_a emperor_n come_v to_o the_o crown_n by_o very_o ill_a mean_n but_o when_o they_o be_v possess_v of_o it_o they_o be_v the_o high_a power_n for_o the_o crown_n do_v not_o descend_v by_o inheritance_n for_o the_o

therefore_o in_o the_o seven_o year_n jehoiada_n the_o priest_n set_v joash_n upon_o the_o throne_n and_o slay_v athaliah_n and_o be_v guilty_a of_o no_o treason_n or_o rebellion_n in_o do_v so_o 2_o

have_v not_o already_o give_v a_o account_n of_o his_o two_o first_o section_n i_o can_v think_v myself_o much_o concern_v about_o have_v already_o give_v both_o the_o full_a state_n of_o the_o case_n and_o the_o plain_a meaning_n of_o the_o convocation_n one_o thing_n indeed_o i_o omit_v which_o he_o remark_n in_o the_o second_o section_n he_o observe_v that_o whereas_o in_o the_o 30_o chapter_n it_o be_v say_v 8._o p._n 8._o that_o jaddus_n return_v answer_n to_o alexander_n that_o he_o may_v not_o lawful_o violate_v his_o oath_n of_o true_a allegiance_n to_o darius_n whilst_o darius_n live_v the_o convocation_n in_o the_o canon_n follow_v it_o take_v no_o notice_n that_o he_o owe_v allegiance_n to_o darius_n during_o the_o life_n of_o that_o king_n and_o it_o be_v plain_a say_v he_o that_o jaddus_n himself_o can_v mean_v no_o more_o by_o it_o than_o that_o he_o can_v not_o make_v a_o voluntary_a dedition_n to_o alexander_n not_o that_o he_o never_o can_v submit_v to_o he_o till_o darius_n be_v dead_a for_o when_o he_o be_v in_o alexander_n be_v power_n he_o make_v no_o scruple_n to_o submit_v to_o he_o but_o i_o think_v it_o be_v not_o much_o material_a whether_o they_o mention_v this_o in_o the_o canon_n or_o no_o since_o they_o set_v it_o down_o in_o the_o forego_n chapter_n and_o then_o approve_v of_o the_o behaviour_n and_o conduct_n of_o jaddus_n in_o the_o canon_n for_o if_o this_o part_n of_o jaddus_n answer_n which_o be_v the_o most_o considerable_a thing_n in_o it_o have_v be_v dislike_v by_o they_o it_o must_v have_v be_v except_v but_o when_o they_o give_v a_o general_a approbation_n of_o what_o jaddus_n do_v and_o except_v against_o no_o particular_n they_o must_v be_v suppose_v to_o approve_v of_o it_o in_o all_o its_o circumstance_n before_o set_v down_o in_o the_o chapter_n at_o least_o they_o must_v approve_v of_o that_o which_o be_v the_o principal_a thing_n in_o jaddus_n answer_n for_o when_o the_o thing_n that_o alexander_n require_v of_o he_o be_v to_o bear_v arm_n himself_o against_o darius_n or_o to_o solicit_v other_o thereunto_o and_o jaddus_n answer_v that_o he_o may_v not_o do_v it_o because_o he_o have_v take_v a_o oath_n for_o his_o true_a allegiance_n to_o darius_n which_o he_o may_v not_o lawful_o violate_v whilst_o darius_n live_v and_o the_o convocation_n in_o their_o canon_n determine_v that_o if_o any_o man_n affirm_v that_o have_v so_o swear_v he_o may_v have_v do_v it_o he_o do_v great_o err_v they_o can_v mean_v no_o less_o in_o the_o canon_n than_o they_o express_v in_o the_o chapter_n that_o he_o may_v not_o lawful_o violate_v his_o oath_n of_o true_a allegiance_n to_o darius_n whilst_o darius_n live_v and_o the_o doctor_n do_v not_o deny_v that_o they_o approve_v of_o these_o word_n in_o the_o sense_n in_o which_o jaddus_n mean_v they_o and_o that_o jaddus_n mean_v they_o in_o the_o strict_a sense_n be_v evident_a for_o the_o word_n will_v admit_v of_o no_o latitude_n and_o what_o jaddus_n afterward_o do_v be_v by_o a_o immediate_a direction_n from_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v no_o argument_n that_o jaddus_n have_v any_o thought_n of_o submit_v to_o alexander_n whilst_o darius_n live_v when_o he_o send_v that_o message_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a that_o he_o be_v resolve_v not_o to_o have_v submit_v and_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v do_v it_o unless_o a_o revelation_n have_v warrant_v he_o to_o do_v it_o and_o thereby_o absolve_v he_o from_o his_o oath_n to_o darius_n in_o his_o three_o section_n the_o doctor_n lay_v down_o some_o proposition_n upon_o which_o his_o whole_a discourse_n depend_v and_o indeed_o to_o grant_v he_o these_o proposition_n be_v to_o give_v up_o the_o cause_n to_o he_o for_o they_o plain_o imply_v and_o
