sure_o put_v to_o death_n although_o these_o and_o such_o other_o law_n de_fw-mi poenis_fw-la be_v divine_a give_v to_o the_o jew_n by_o moses_n and_o oblige_v they_o yet_o no_o christian_a church_n or_o state_n do_v ever_o think_v themselves_o oblige_v to_o the_o observation_n and_o practice_n of_o they_o and_o they_o have_v good_a ground_n in_o the_o gospel_n to_o think_v so_o for_o 4._o our_o bless_a saviour_n in_o his_o sermon_n on_o the_o mount_n etc._n explain_v and_o confirm_v all_o the_o moral_a law_n de_fw-fr officiis_n yet_o those_o severe_a moysaicall_a law_n de_fw-fr poenis_fw-la he_o do_v not_o confirm_v but_o express_o declare_v that_o legal_a severity_n to_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o charity_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o though_o by_o the_o moysaicall_a law_n a_o jew_n may_v just_o require_v 24._o and_o the_o judge_n give_v a_o eye_n for_o a_o eye_n 21._o and_o a_o tooth_n for_o a_o tooth_n yet_o our_o bless_a saviour_n express_o declare_v against_o such_o legal_a severity_n you_o have_v hear_v say_v he_o it_o have_v be_v say_v 38._o in_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n a_o eye_n for_o a_o eye_n and_o a_o tooth_n for_o a_o tooth_n but_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o resist_v not_o evil_a &c_n &c_n he_o do_v not_o allow_v that_o severity_n in_o poenis_fw-la in_o the_o gospel_n which_o moses_n allow_v the_o jew_n under_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o it_o be_v not_o any_o moral_a or_o natural_a law_n which_o require_v those_o punishment_n appoint_v for_o several_a sin_n in_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n for_o then_o they_o have_v be_v unalterable_a nor_o will_v our_o bless_a saviour_n have_v contradict_v they_o but_o it_o be_v the_o positive_a law_n of_o moses_n which_o require_v they_o of_o the_o jew_n to_o who_o only_o these_o law_n be_v give_v and_o obligatory_a and_o here_o for_o further_a evidence_n of_o this_o truth_n it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v 1._o that_o in_o that_o moysaicall_a law_n 31._o which_o be_v ignorant_o or_o malicious_o urge_v to_o prove_v that_o our_o gracious_a sovereign_n can_v pardon_v murder_n the_o strict_a bind_v word_n be_v these_o the_o murderer_z shall_v sure_o be_v put_v to_o death_n therefore_o say_v they_o he_o can_v be_v pardon_v they_o who_o reason_n thus_o do_v not_o well_o consider_v the_o consequence_n of_o such_o argue_v from_o the_o penal_a law_n in_o moses_n for_o if_o this_o argument_n be_v good_a moses_n say_v the_o murderer_z shall_v sure_o be_v put_v to_o death_n ergo_fw-la he_o can_v be_v pardon_v then_o this_o ground_v on_o the_o same_o law_n of_o moses_n will_v be_v every_o way_n as_o good_a and_o conclude_a 15._o the_o same_o moses_n say_v whosoever_o do_v any_o work_n on_o the_o sabbath-day_n he_o shall_v sure_o be_v put_v to_o death_n ergo_fw-la he_o can_v be_v pardon_v if_o such_o logic_n be_v good_a it_o will_v conclude_v all_o man_n to_o be_v unpardonable_o guilty_a of_o death_n see_v i_o believe_v there_o be_v no_o man_n who_o on_o some_o lordsday_n have_v not_o do_v some_o work_n and_o therefore_o by_o such_o logic_n as_o this_o must_v be_v unpardonable_o guilty_a of_o death_n but_o enough_o of_o this_o for_o indeed_o such_o argument_n do_v not_o deserve_v any_o serious_a answer_n or_o confufutation_n sure_o i_o be_o that_o never_o any_o christian_a church_n or_o state_n do_v or_o have_v any_o reason_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o severe_a jewish_a law_n for_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n do_v oblige_v christian_n and_o therefore_o there_o neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v any_o more_o reason_n why_o their_o severe_a law_n against_o murder_n shall_v be_v now_o obligatory_a to_o gentile_n or_o christian_n to_o who_o it_o be_v never_o give_v 2._o when_o the_o law_n say_v 31._o the_o murderer_z shall_v sure_o die_v our_o best_a 4._o commentator_n out_o of_o the_o rabbin_n say_v that_o this_o be_v speak_v to_o the_o judge_n before_o who_o such_o cause_n regular_o come_v now_o those_o judge_n in_o the_o jewish_a commonwealth_n be_v appoint_v by_o the_o supreme_a 5._o power_n and_o by_o his_o authority_n judge_v and_o determine_v cause_n under_o he_o admit_v then_o that_o the_o judge_n who_o be_v magistrate_n subordinate_a to_o the_o supreme_a power_n be_v to_o take_v no_o satisfaction_n for_o the_o life_n of_o a_o murderer_n but_o be_v by_o that_o law_n oblige_v to_o condemn_v and_o execute_v he_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o hence_o follow_v that_o the_o supreme_a power_n who_o make_v they_o judge_n may_v

may_v limit_v themselves_o by_o oath_n or_o promise_n and_o so_o our_o king_n have_v limit_v their_o power_n and_o promise_v and_o in_o their_o coronation-oath_n swear_v to_o do_v none_o of_o those_o thing_n without_o the_o consent_n of_o their_o people_n in_o parliament_n but_o do_v not_o this_o limit_v themselves_o object_n take_v away_o and_o destroy_v their_o absoluteness_n no_o if_o any_o other_o power_n can_v lay_v obligation_n and_o limitation_n upon_o they_o than_o i_o grant_v they_o be_v not_o absolute_a but_o to_o limit_v themselves_o be_v consistent_a with_o absolute_a power_n for_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o we_o have_v a_o evident_a and_o authentic_a instance_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o god_n almighty_n be_v a_o absolute_a king_n of_o all_o the_o world_n yet_o for_o the_o comfort_n of_o his_o people_n he_o have_v limit_v himself_o by_o oath_n and_o promise_n so_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o by_o two_o immutable_a thing_n 18._o in_o which_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o god_n to_o lie_v we_o may_v have_v strong_a consolation_n these_o thing_n premise_v concern_v the_o great_a power_n of_o our_o king_n that_o it_o be_v monarchical_a supreme_a and_o absolute_a the_o query_n be_v whether_o they_o can_v and_o lawful_o may_v either_o 1._o reprieve_n 2._o or_o pardon_v a_o person_n condemn_v for_o murder_n now_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a rule_n in_o law_n and_o reason_n that_o omne_fw-la illicitum_fw-la est_fw-la ex_fw-la lege_fw-la aliqua_fw-la illicitum_fw-la sin_n be_v the_o transgression_n of_o a_o law_n 4_o and_o where_o there_o be_v no_o law_n 15._o there_o be_v no_o transgression_n if_o then_o such_o reprieve_n or_o pardon_v be_v unlawful_a and_o may_v not_o be_v grant_v by_o the_o king_n of_o england_n than_o it_o must_v be_v so_o by_o some_o law_n which_o prohibit_v it_o and_o that_o must_v be_v either_o 1._o some_o humane_a or_o 2._o some_o divine_a law_n for_o the_o first_o unless_o it_o do_v appear_v that_o the_o king_n of_o england_n be_v prohibit_v to_o reprieve_v or_o pardon_v such_o malefactor_n by_o some_o law_n of_o our_o nation_n to_o the_o make_v where_o of_o they_o have_v give_v their_o consent_n and_o so_o limit_v their_o own_o power_n i_o say_v unless_o there_o be_v such_o a_o law_n it_o will_v be_v evident_a that_o it_o can_v be_v unlawful_a by_o any_o humane_a law_n for_o our_o king_n to_o reprieve_v or_o pardon_v such_o malefactor_n but_o although_o i_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o law_n yet_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o such_o law_n or_o no_o i_o shall_v not_o determine_v but_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o reverend_a judge_n and_o the_o learned_a in_o our_o law_n who_o be_v best_a able_a to_o determine_v that_o question_n it_o belong_v not_o to_o my_o call_n or_o present_a business_n to_o determine_v the_o case_n by_o humane_a law_n that_o which_o be_v desire_v of_o i_o be_v this_o whether_o the_o reprieve_n or_o pardon_n of_o a_o person_n legal_o condemn_v for_o murder_n be_v prohibit_v and_o so_o unlawful_a by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n particular_o by_o that_o law_n give_v to_o the_o jew_n by_o moses_n in_o these_o word_n thou_o shall_v take_v no_o satisfaction_n for_o the_o life_n of_o a_o murderer_n 31._o who_o be_v guilty_a of_o death_n he_o shall_v sure_o be_v put_v to_o death_n now_o to_o determine_v this_o case_n of_o conscience_n by_o the_o divine_a law_n be_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o my_o call_v and_o by_o this_o time_n at_o the_o age_n of_o 77._o i_o be_o or_o aught_o to_o be_v in_o some_o measure_n a_o competent_a judge_n of_o such_o case_n and_o therefore_o see_v nothing_o be_v require_v of_o i_o save_v what_o be_v in_o my_o power_n to_o give_v my_o opinion_n in_o the_o case_n i_o shall_v here_o 1._o humble_o and_o with_o submission_n to_o my_o superior_n give_v my_o opinion_n and_o judgement_n in_o the_o case_n 2._o the_o reason_n for_o it_o 1._o for_o the_o first_o my_o present_a opinion_n and_o judgement_n be_v that_o there_o be_v no_o divine_a law_n which_o prohibit_n and_o so_o make_v it_o unlawful_a for_o supreme_a prince_n to_o reprieve_n or_o pardon_v a_o person_n legal_o condemn_v for_o murder_n and_o this_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v distinct_o to_o show_v and_o prove_v 1._o that_o a_o reprieve_n 2._o that_o a_o pardon_n be_v not_o by_o any_o law_n of_o god_n unlawful_a 1._o for_o the_o first_o to_o reprieve_n reprive_v be_v not_o to_o diminish_n or_o make_v void_a the_o sentence_n pass_v upon_o a_o murderer_n or_o to_o free_v he_o from_o it_o but_o only_o for_o some_o time_n the_o delay_v the_o execution_n of_o it_o now_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o there_o be_v no_o law_n of_o god_n which_o prohibit_v such_o reprieve_n and_o delay_n of_o execute_v the_o sentence_n or_o any_o way_n make_v it_o unlawful_a for_o the_o supreme_a power_n to_o grant_v such_o reprieve_n the_o severe_a law_n against_o murderer_n be_v that_o in_o the_o book_n of_o number_n 31._o but_o now_o name_v which_o say_v that_o no_o satisfaction_n shall_v be_v take_v for_o the_o life_n of_o a_o murderer_n but_o he_o shall_v sure_o be_v put_v to_o death_n but_o that_o law_n do_v not_o say_v that_o he_o must_v die_v the_o same_o day_n the_o sentence_n pass_v or_o the_o same_o week_n or_o month_n if_o a_o murderer_n be_v execute_v a_o month_n after_o the_o sentence_n pass_v he_o die_v as_o sure_o as_o if_o he_o have_v die_v the_o same_o day_n 2._o there_o may_v be_v just_a reason_n draw_v from_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o scripture_n why_o in_o many_o case_n the_o supreme_a magistrate_n not_o only_o lawful_o may_v but_o aught_o to_o grant_v such_o a_o reprieve_n the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o nature_n do_v indispensable_o bind_v all_o to_o love_v their_o neighbour_n as_o their selve_o 39_o and_o therefore_o so_o far_o as_o we_o have_v ability_n to_o endeavour_v his_o salvation_n now_o a_o condemn_a murderer_n who_o have_v no_o pardon_n be_v sure_o to_o lose_v a_o temporal_a life_n and_o that_o he_o may_v not_o lose_v eternal_a life_n too_o it_o be_v the_o observation_n and_o judgement_n of_o the_o best_a scholar_n and_o lawyer_n in_o his_o time_n it_o will_v 12._o and_o shall_v be_v the_o care_n of_o pious_a prince_n not_o to_o hurry_v such_o condemn_a malefactor_n hasty_o to_o death_n but_o to_o grant_v they_o some_o time_n by_o a_o reprieve_n before_o they_o leave_v this_o to_o consult_v their_o ghostly_a father_n and_o by_o prayer_n confess_v their_o sin_n true_a penitence_n and_o the_o comfort_n of_o absolution_n prepare_v themselves_o for_o a_o better_a life_n 3._o but_o although_o this_o be_v a_o certain_a truth_n that_o the_o supreme_a power_n may_v reprieve_v a_o condemn_a murderer_n yet_o it_o will_v further_o appear_v and_o beyond_o all_o contradiction_n in_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o next_o particular_a where_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o the_o king_n by_o his_o supreme_a power_n and_o royal_a prerogative_n may_v lawful_o pardon_v such_o a_o condemn_a malefactor_n and_o therefore_o much_o more_o may_v he_o lawful_o reprieve_v he_o for_o he_o who_o can_v lawful_o pardon_v and_o remit_v the_o punishment_n of_o death_n that_o it_o shall_v never_o be_v inflict_v may_v certain_o for_o some_o small_a time_n for_o a_o week_n a_o month_n or_o two_o suspend_v and_o delay_v the_o execution_n of_o it_o and_o so_o i_o proceed_v to_o the_o second_o particular_a 2._o it_o be_v not_o unlawful_a by_o any_o divine_a law_n pardon_v for_o the_o supreme_a power_n to_o pardon_v a_o person_n convict_v and_o condemn_v for_o murder_n the_o reason_n be_v evident_a because_o there_o be_v no_o divine_a law_n which_o prohibit_v the_o supreme_a power_n to_o grant_v such_o a_o pardon_n that_o this_o may_v more_o distinct_o appear_v it_o be_v certain_a and_o confess_v that_o divine_a law_n be_v either_o 1._o evangelical_n make_v know_v to_o we_o in_o the_o gospel_n 2._o moysaicall_a such_o as_o god_n by_o moses_n make_v know_v to_o his_o own_o people_n the_o jew_n 1._o for_o the_o first_o the_o evangelical_n law_n be_v give_v by_o our_o bless_a saviour_n in_o the_o gospel_n for_o the_o gather_n and_o perpetual_a government_n of_o his_o church_n now_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o among_o these_o law_n there_o be_v nothing_o of_o any_o temporal_a punishment_n our_o bless_a saviour_n tell_v pilate_n 36._o that_o his_o kingdom_n be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n it_o be_v no_o temporal_a kingdom_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v promote_v by_o the_o sword_n or_o temporal_a punishment_n he_o leave_v his_o apostle_n no_o power_n to_o punish_v the_o transgressor_n of_o his_o law_n either_o 1._o in_o their_o purse_n by_o pecuniary_a mulct_n or_o fine_n nor_o 2._o in_o their_o person_n by_o death_n or_o imprisonment_n all_o such_o power_n do_v and_o ever_o do_v belong_v to_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n who_o only_o have_v
