the_o three_o and_o from_o what_o dr._n jackson_n say_v these_o thing_n be_v plain_a 1._o that_o richard_n the_o three_o come_v to_o be_v invest_v with_o royal_a power_n by_o very_o indirect_a mean_n 2._o that_o many_o act_n of_o royal_a power_n though_o proceed_v from_o he_o be_v legal_a 3._o that_o they_o that_o bear_v office_n under_o he_o or_o obey_v his_o summons_n to_o parliament_n do_v not_o resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n 4._o that_o it_o have_v be_v a_o sin_n for_o any_o man_n of_o his_o own_o private_a head_n to_o have_v kill_v he_o and_o this_o the_o dr._n have_v put_v into_o great_a black_a letter_n as_o if_o there_o be_v some_o very_a great_a matter_n in_o it_o but_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o for_o i_o do_v not_o know_v that_o it_o be_v a_o question_n between_o we_o whether_o any_o man_n of_o his_o own_o private_a head_n may_v kill_v a_o usurper_n whatever_o some_o learned_a man_n have_v say_v about_o it_o but_o this_o i_o can_v tell_v he_o that_o dr._n jackson_n express_v it_o with_o this_o cautious_a limitation_n plain_o suppose_v that_o be_v think_v it_o may_v be_v do_v by_o private_a man_n though_o not_o of_o their_o own_o private_a head_n and_o therefore_o 5._o every_o man_n be_v not_o avenger_n of_o such_o as_o resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n i._n e._n of_o usurper_n which_o plain_o suppose_v that_o some_o man_n be_v and_o dr._n jackson_n immediate_o tell_v we_o who_o be_v this_o belong_v to_o the_o high_a power_n only_o or_o unto_o they_o to_o who_o the_o supreme_a power_n by_o right_n be_v annex_v i._n e._n 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 heir_n for_o that_o the_o dr._n plain_o mean_v by_o god_n ordinance_n this_o indeed_o be_v a_o mistake_n in_o history_n but_o that_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o argument_n and_o upon_o that_o account_n 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 his_o commission_n and_o command_n i._n e._n tho_o other_o may_v not_o do_v it_o of_o their_o own_o private_a head_n yet_o they_o may_v in_o the_o right_n and_o interest_n and_o by_o the_o commission_n and_o command_n of_o the_o right_a heir_n and_o now_o we_o have_v it_o with_o the_o conjunctive_a and_o what_o have_v the_o dr._n to_o say_v to_o it_o he_o tell_v we_o who_o ever_o doubt_v 77._o vindic._n p._n 77._o but_o a_o rightful_a prince_n when_o dispossess_v unjust_o may_v recover_v his_o throne_n if_o he_o can_v and_o dispossess_v the_o usurper_n or_o that_o those_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 command_n and_o in_o who_o right_a and_o interest_n etc._n etc._n do_v he_o mean_v why_o true_o in_o the_o right_n and_o interest_n and_o by_o the_o commission_n and_o command_n of_o henry_n of_o richmond_n and_o who_o i_o pray_v be_v the_o man_n that_o take_v commission_n of_o he_o and_o fight_v for_o he_o why_o true_o no_o body_n else_o but_o the_o subject_n of_o england_n even_o at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o the_o usurper_n actual_o govern_v and_o then_o the_o subject_n may_v lawful_o take_v commission_n from_o the_o right_a heir_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 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 usurper_n by_o some_o high_a power_n and_o the_o case_n of_o richard_n and_o henry_n be_v but_o a_o example_n to_o illustrate_v the_o doctrine_n he_o have_v before_o deliver_v and_o when_o henry_n 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 usurper_n the_o dr._n may_v be_v satisfy_v in_o the_o case_n of_o allegiance_n to_o a_o king_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la and_o that_o worthy_a author_n have_v since_o give_v he_o abundant_a satisfaction_n 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
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 resist_v power_n much_o high_a than_o his_o own_o and_o if_o the_o right_a heir_n or_o king_n out_o of_o possession_n be_v the_o high_a power_n and_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n than_o he_o be_v the_o person_n within_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o 13_o to_o the_o roman_n and_o not_o the_o usurper_n and_o therefore_o whatever_o may_v be_v due_a to_o a_o usurper_n in_o the_o exercise_n of_o royal_a power_n in_o indifferent_a case_n nothing_o can_v be_v due_a to_o he_o in_o prejudice_n of_o the_o right_a heir_n for_o our_o duty_n to_o the_o place_n and_o power_n the_o usurper_n hold_v which_o be_v the_o utmost_a dr._n jackson_n allow_v can_v never_o be_v interpret_v to_o the_o wrong_n and_o injury_n of_o the_o person_n to_o who_o that_o place_n and_o power_n of_o right_n belong_v and_o who_o it_o be_v for_o i_o hope_v no_o duty_n to_o usurper_n will_v excuse_v we_o for_o resist_v the_o high_a power_n and_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o if_o the_o right_a heir_n be_v the_o high_a power_n and_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n than_o whosoever_o resist_v he_o resist_v the_o high_a power_n and_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v if_o the_o usurper_n by_o resist_v the_o rightful_a prince_n resist_v the_o high_a power_n and_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n why_o also_o every_o man_n else_o that_o resist_v the_o rightful_a prince_n do_v not_o likewise_o resist_v the_o high_a power_n &_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o the_o dr._n may_v try_v if_o he_o have_v a_o distinction_n that_o can_v make_v it_o a_o duty_n to_o obey_v usurper_n in_o opposition_n to_o st._n paul_n who_o command_v we_o to_o obey_v the_o high_a power_n and_o who_o be_v ordain_v of_o god_n and_o thus_o dr._n jackson_n himself_o express_o determine_v it_o in_o the_o very_a case_n of_o richard_n the_o three_o he_o tell_v we_o 3._o tom._n p._n 881._o they_o be_v not_o traitor_n that_o and_o yield_v obedience_n to_o the_o law_n make_v by_o he_o or_o submit_v themselves_o unto_o the_o magistrate_n of_o his_o appointment_n save_v only_o in_o case_n wherein_o the_o law_n make_v by_o he_o may_v prejudice_v the_o fundamental_a law_n of_o this_o kingdom_n or_o cut_v off_o the_o right_n of_o succession_n to_o the_o crown_n but_o in_o case_n the_o magistrate_n earl_n or_o baron_n create_v by_o he_o shall_v have_v command_v their_o inferior_n to_o ta●e_a arm_n against_o the_o know_a and_o lawful_a heir_n to_o the_o crown_n to_o have_v yield_v obedience_n to_o they_o in_o this_o case_n have_v be_v treason_n as_o rieh_n himself_o during_o all_o the_o time_n of_o his_o reign_n be_v no_o better_a than_o a_o traitor_n i_o have_v one_o thing_n more_o to_o observe_v from_o hence_o and_o that_o be_v that_o the_o rightful_a king_n out_o of_o possession_n be_v not_o only_o the_o high_a power_n but_o that_o he_o have_v the_o power_n actual_o annex_v to_o his_o person_n for_o thus_o dr._n jackson_n express_v it_o the_o usurper_n open_o resist_v power_n much_o high_a than_o his_o own_o whether_o the_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

when_o he_o can_v exercise_v any_o act_n of_o power_n and_o authority_n the_o dr._n come_v to_o examine_v another_o citation_n i_o produce_v out_o of_o dr._n jackson_n and_o usher_v it_o in_o with_o
