A59904	A vindication of The case of allegiance due to soveraign powers, in reply to An answer to a late pamphlet, intituled, Obedience and submission to the present government, demonstrated from Bishop Overal's convocation-book, with a postscript in answer to Dr. Sherlock's Case of allegiance, &c. by William Sherlock.

in_o such_o a_o case_n command_v we_o to_o pay_v all_o the_o obedience_n and_o duty_n of_o subject_n to_o a_o prince_n in_o the_o actual_a possession_n of_o the_o throne_n and_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n forbid_v it_o which_o must_v we_o obey_v the_o law_n of_o god_n or_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n to_o this_o our_o author_n answer_v 11._o where_o be_v this_o law_n of_o god_n that_o command_v we_o to_o obey_v usurper_n where_o be_v it_o ever_o affirm_v in_o scripture_n in_o express_a term_n or_o deduce_v from_o thence_o by_o evident_a consequence_n this_o i_o have_v show_v before_o and_o it_o be_v in_o my_o boek_n still_o and_o there_o he_o may_v see_v it_o but_o this_o law_n have_v need_n be_v very_o clear_a and_o evident_a and_o the_o doctor_n have_v need_n be_v very_o sure_a of_o it_o when_o he_o build_v not_o only_o his_o book_n but_o his_o practice_n upon_o it_o in_o plain_a contradiction_n by_o his_o own_o confession_n to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n but_o i_o never_o confess_v this_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a that_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n if_o we_o will_v believe_v learned_a judge_n and_o lawyer_n do_v allow_v and_o justify_v it_o and_o i_o think_v the_o scripture_n be_v very_o plain_a in_o the_o case_n and_o if_o he_o will_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o be_v sure_a of_o any_o thing_n i_o think_v i_o be_o pretty_a sure_a of_o it_o but_o he_o prove_v the_o scripture_n can_v be_v clear_a in_o the_o point_n from_o the_o controversy_n about_o it_o in_o the_o late_a dismal_a time_n of_o usurpation_n that_o be_v to_o say_v nothing_o can_v be_v clear_a in_o scripture_n which_o be_v matter_n of_o controversy_n and_o thus_o we_o must_v either_o be_v sceptic_n in_o religion_n or_o seek_v for_o a_o infallible_a interpreter_n thus_o heretic_n oppose_v the_o article_n of_o faith_n thus_o papist_n dispute_v against_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o faith_n and_o whither_o these_o argument_n will_v carry_v our_o author_n i_o can_v tell_v but_o they_o look_v very_o kind_o towards_o rome_n and_o if_o that_o be_v his_o inclination_n i_o can_v pardon_v his_o zeal_n in_o this_o cause_n but_o no_o learned_a man_n can_v ever_o espy_v this_o law_n before_o the_o time_n of_o john_n goodwin_n 1._o what_o then_o do_v he_o think_v of_o mr._n calvin_n and_o grotius_n who_o have_v both_o pass_v for_o learned_a man_n and_o they_o espy_v this_o law_n before_o the_o time_n of_o john_n goodwin_n as_o he_o may_v see_v if_o he_o please_v in_o their_o commentary_n on_o daniel_n and_o the_o roman_n or_o that_o he_o may_v not_o seek_v for_o it_o i_o have_v give_v he_o a_o taste_n of_o their_o judgement_n in_o the_o margin_n what_o think_v he_o of_o bishop_n overal_n convocation_n be_v there_o no_o learned_a man_n in_o it_o and_o yet_o they_o espy_v this_o doctrine_n before_o john_n goodwin_n be_v think_v of_o what_o john_n goodwin_n think_v of_o this_o matter_n i_o can_v tell_v for_o i_o be_o not_o much_o verse_v in_o his_o write_n but_o if_o some_o man_n abuse_v a_o true_a doctrine_n to_o wicked_a purpose_n must_v we_o therefore_o deny_v the_o doctrine_n or_o rather_o vindicate_v it_o from_o such_o abuse_n but_o what_o think_v he_o of_o the_o primitive_a christian_n who_o sense_n he_o may_v guess_v at_o from_o what_o grotius_n have_v cite_v and_o their_o practice_n in_o all_o the_o revolution_n of_o the_o empire_n do_v more_o full_o declare_v it_o for_o they_o always_o submit_v to_o the_o reign_v emperor_n by_o what_o mean_v soever_o they_o gain_v the_o throne_n and_o that_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o they_o own_v the_o doctrine_n because_o they_o practise_v it_o as_o our_o author_n will_v quick_o be_v inform_v by_o a_o learned_a pen._n i_o grant_v indeed_o that_o the_o resolution_n of_o conscience_n ought_v not_o to_o depend_v on_o such_o nicty_n of_o law_n and_o history_n as_o learned_a man_n can_v agree_v about_o and_o that_o be_v a_o reason_n why_o legal_a right_n and_o title_n shall_v not_o be_v the_o rule_n and_o measure_n of_o our_o obedience_n to_o prince_n who_o be_v possess_v of_o the_o throne_n but_o be_v this_o a_o reason_n to_o reject_v the_o direction_n of_o scripture_n too_o because_o some_o man_n will_v dispute_v the_o plain_a text_n this_o have_v nothing_o but_o either_o scepticism_n or_o infallibility_n at_o the_o bottom_n our_o author_n proceed_v to_o consider_v the_o scripture-testimony_n 12._o which_o i_o cite_v in_o this_o cause_n and_o first_o from_o the_o old_a testament_n that_o god_n give_v kingdom_n to_o whosoever_o he_o will_v that_o he_o remove_v king_n and_o set_v up_o king_n 4._o dan._n 17._o 2._o 21_o 37._o now_o the_o whole_a of_o his_o answer_n to_o this_o be_v that_o usurper_n be_v no_o king_n and_o therefore_o though_o god_n remove_v king_n and_o set_v up_o king_n he_o do_v not_o set_v up_o usurper_n and_o the_o whole_a of_o his_o proof_n be_v that_o athaliah_n who_o be_v a_o usurper_n be_v no_o queen_n as_o for_o athaliah_n i_o suppose_v our_o author_n have_v enough_o of_o she_o already_o she_o be_v god_n providential_a queen_n though_o a_o usurper_n as_o much_o as_o baasha_n be_v god_n king_n and_o to_o say_v that_o a_o king_n without_o a_o legal_a title_n or_o a_o usurper_n who_o have_v a_o settle_a possession_n of_o the_o regal_a power_n be_v no_o king_n be_v nonsense_n for_o regal_a power_n and_o authority_n make_v a_o king_n 12._o as_o st._n austin_n tell_v we_o regnum_fw-la à_fw-la regibus_fw-la reges_fw-la à_fw-la regendo_fw-la that_o a_o kingdom_n be_v so_o call_v from_o king_n and_o king_n from_o govern_v it_o be_v certain_a he_o who_o have_v the_o exercise_n of_o the_o regal_a power_n and_o authority_n be_v king_n whether_o we_o will_v call_v he_o so_o or_o no_o and_o he_o be_v no_o king_n who_o have_v no_o regal_a power_n whatever_o his_o title_n be_v if_o this_o be_v not_o so_o our_o law_n be_v nonsense_n which_o distinguish_v between_o a_o king_n de_fw-fr jure_fw-la and_o de_fw-la facto_fw-la if_o a_o king_n de_fw-fr facto_fw-la be_fw-mi no_o king_n though_o it_o signify_v one_o who_o be_v actual_o king_n but_o pray_v what_o sense_n do_v this_o make_v of_o what_o the_o prophet_n daniel_n say_v that_o god_n change_v time_n and_o season_n remove_v king_n and_o set_v up_o king_n by_o king_n here_o according_a to_o our_o author_n the_o prophet_n mean_v not_o usurper_n but_o rightful_a and_o lawful_a king_n and_o then_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o god_n remove_v or_o pull_v down_o rightful_a king_n and_o that_o he_o set_v up_o rightful_a king_n now_o as_o for_o set_v up_o rightful_a king_n our_o author_n like_v it_o very_o well_o but_o how_o do_v he_o like_o pull_v down_o rightful_a king_n which_o be_v as_o much_o against_o law_n and_o right_n as_o to_o set_v up_o king_n without_o right_o and_o that_o it_o seem_v god_n do_v he_o will_v not_o allow_v we_o to_o pay_v allegiance_n to_o a_o king_n who_o be_v set_v up_o without_o right_n will_v he_o then_o allow_v we_o to_o withdraw_v our_o allegiance_n from_o a_o rightful_a king_n who_o god_n have_v remove_v and_o pull_v down_o if_o he_o will_v as_o it_o be_v plain_a he_o will_v than_o god_n can_v no_o more_o remove_v a_o rightful_a king_n than_o he_o can_v set_v up_o a_o illegal_a usurper_n but_o when_o the_o prophet_n say_v god_n remove_v king_n and_o set_v up_o king_n to_o reconcile_v it_o to_o our_o author_n hypothesis_n the_o remove_a king_n must_v signify_v a_o usurper_n and_o the_o king_n set_v up_o a_o rightful_a and_o legal_a king_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o our_o author_n will_v be_v ashamed_a to_o say_v this_o but_o whether_o he_o be_v or_o no_o he_o dare_v not_o say_v it_o for_o than_o he_o must_v allow_v that_o king_n may_v signify_v a_o usurper_n as_o well_o as_o a_o rightful_a king_n which_o overthrow_v all_o he_o say_v for_o than_o it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o expound_v the_o text_n of_o all_o king_n whatever_o they_o be_v who_o be_v remove_v or_o set_v up_o and_o this_o be_v evident_o the_o prophet_n meaning_n to_o attribute_v all_o the_o change_n and_o revolution_n of_o government_n when_o ever_o they_o happen_v not_o to_o chance_n or_o fate_n but_o to_o the_o divine_a providence_n that_o whenever_o we_o see_v one_o king_n remove_v and_o another_o set_v up_o whoever_o they_o be_v they_o be_v remove_v and_o set_v up_o by_o god_n who_o rule_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o man_n and_o give_v it_o to_o whosoever_o he_o will_v does_n whosoever_o signify_v those_o only_o who_o have_v a_o legal_a right_n do_v give_v suppose_v a_o antecedent_n right_a in_o he_o to_o who_o it_o be_v give_v do_v give_v to_o whosoever_o he_o will_v signify_v give_v it_o only_o to_o those_o to_o who_o the_o law_n
