since_o i_o have_v know_v the_o packet_n of_o advice_n to_o the_o man_n of_o shaftsbury_n to_o have_v be_v one_o of_o those_o order_n i_o can_v see_v nothing_o more_o which_o look_v with_o any_o face_n of_o a_o public_a authority_n unless_o it_o be_v the_o censure_n of_o our_o university_n but_o every_o body_n know_v what_o cheap_a thing_n those_o be_v and_o that_o a_o oxford_n decree_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o cambridg_n address_n as_o for_o the_o martyr_n and_o confessor_n doctrine_n in_o q._n mary_n time_n which_o be_v bring_v in_o by_o the_o head_n and_o shoulder_n into_o this_o history_n for_o it_o have_v no_o affinity_n with_o it_o it_o be_v submission_n to_o the_o law_n and_o not_o to_o arbitrary_a government_n his_o popish_a bishop_n stokes_o tonstal_n and_o bonner_n authority_n i_o give_v he_o here_o be_v indeed_o leave_v in_o this_o history_n abundance_n of_o private_a doctor_n opinion_n and_o their_o flight_n of_o flattery_n be_v very_o high_a especial_o in_o their_o court-sermon_n but_o these_o be_v in_o opposition_n to_o the_o establish_v doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o to_o six_o act_n of_o parliament_n as_o i_o show_v before_o and_o therefore_o their_o authority_n be_v worse_a and_o less_o than_o nothing_o but_o if_o they_o must_v have_v a_o answer_n they_o be_v only_o fit_a to_o be_v confute_v by_o a_o second_o edition_n of_o dissenter_n say_n and_o here_o i_o have_v reason_n to_o enter_v a_o just_a complaint_n against_o the_o pretend_a churchof_a england_n man_n of_o the_o two_o last_o reign_n who_o not_o only_o leave_v i_o the_o grin_a honour_n of_o maintain_v the_o establish_v doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n all_o alone_a which_o i_o keep_v alive_a till_o it_o please_v god_n to_o make_v it_o a_o mean_n of_o our_o deliverance_n with_o the_o perpetual_a hazard_n of_o my_o own_o life_n for_o many_o year_n and_o with_o suffer_v torment_n and_o indignity_n worse_o than_o death_n but_o also_o beside_o this_o be_v very_o zealous_a in_o run_v i_o down_o and_o very_o officious_a in_o degrade_n i_o as_o a_o apostate_n from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n for_o this_o very_a service_n while_o at_o the_o same_o time_n they_o themselves_o be_v make_v their_o court_n with_o their_o own_o renegado_n doctrine_n of_o passive_a obedience_n and_o wear_v out_o all_o pulpit_n with_o it_o as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v not_o only_o the_o first_o and_o great_a commandment_n but_o the_o second_o too_o and_o cram_v it_o down_o the_o reluctant_a throat_n of_o die_a patriot_n as_o the_o term_n of_o their_o salvation_n and_o now_o in_o this_o reign_n for_o want_v of_o recant_v their_o passive_a doctrine_n they_o suffer_v it_o to_o be_v make_v use_n of_o against_o the_o present_a government_n and_o to_o be_v compile_v into_o such_o a_o history_n as_o be_v a_o seed-plot_n of_o rebellion_n and_o a_o stand_a common-place-book_n for_o treasonable_a practice_n and_o this_o be_v the_o more_o to_o be_v complain_v of_o because_o they_o themselves_o must_v needs_o now_o clear_o see_v if_o they_o do_v not_o before_o the_o mischievous_a consequence_n of_o their_o passive_a doctrine_n which_o bind_v we_o not_o to_o resist_v but_o to_o assist_v our_o prince_n though_o a_o tyrant_n which_o if_o it_o have_v take_v place_n in_o man_n mind_n and_o inward_a belief_n have_v for_o ever_o enslave_v the_o nation_n but_o god_n be_v thank_v though_o this_o doctrine_n fill_v the_o ear_n of_o the_o nation_n for_o a_o long_a time_n yet_o it_o never_o bore_v they_o for_o if_o it_o have_v the_o prince_n of_o orange_n with_o all_o the_o power_n of_o holland_n can_v never_o have_v bring_v we_o a_o deliverance_n nor_o have_v be_v able_a to_o have_v rescue_v these_o three_o kingdom_n from_o themselves_o and_o from_o their_o own_o choose_a and_o voluntary_a bondage_n and_o while_o this_o doctrine_n continue_v to_o be_v believe_v by_o any_o delude_a party_n among_o we_o they_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n either_o to_o be_v do_v mischief_n here_o or_o else_o to_o go_v and_o join_v the_o irish_a camp_n at_o drogheda_n for_o which_o reason_n till_o it_o be_v public_o recant_v or_o condemn_v i_o shall_v here_o full_o confute_v it_o in_o a_o few_o word_n all_o their_o proof_n that_o a_o tyrant_n may_v not_o be_v resist_v but_o must_v be_v assist_v by_o his_o subject_n whole_o centre_n in_o the_o 13_o of_o the_o roman_n in_o order_n therefore_o to_o know_v whether_o a_o tyrant_n be_v any_o way_n concern_v or_o have_v any_o part_n or_o portion_n in_o that_o text_n we_o must_v first_o consider_v what_o a_o tyrant_n be_v and_o because_o i_o will_v not_o be_v my_o own_o judge_n nor_o make_v definition_n of_o my_o own_o i_o will_v take_v that_o exact_a one_o of_o mr._n abraham_n cowley_n approve_v and_o publish_v by_o the_o present_a lord_n bishop_n of_o rochester_n i_o call_v he_o a_o tyrant_n who_o either_o intrude_v himself_o forcible_o into_o the_o government_n of_o his_o fellow-citizen_n without_o any_o legal_a authority_n over_o they_o or_o who_o have_v a_o just_a title_n to_o the_o government_n of_o a_o people_n abuse_v it_o to_o the_o destruction_n or_o torment_v of_o they_o so_o that_o all_o tyrant_n be_v at_o the_o same_o time_n usurper_n either_o of_o the_o whole_a or_o at_o least_o of_o a_o part_n of_o that_o power_n which_o they_o assume_v to_o themselves_o and_o no_o less_o be_v they_o to_o be_v account_v rebel_n since_o no_o man_n can_v usurp_v authority_n over_o other_o but_o by_o rebel_n against_o they_o who_o have_v it_o before_o or_o at_o least_o against_o those_o law_n which_o be_v his_o superior_n it_o be_v plain_a by_o this_o definition_n that_o a_o tyrant_n though_o he_o have_v a_o legal_a title_n and_o be_v a_o tyrant_n only_o in_o exercise_n as_o they_o term_v it_o be_v both_o a_o usurper_n and_o a_o rebel_n and_o if_o neither_o of_o these_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o text_n nor_o can_v lay_v any_o claim_n to_o the_o duty_n of_o subjection_n nonresistance_n assistance_n tribute_n etc._n etc._n so_o neither_o can_v a_o tyrant_n who_o be_v both_o of_o they_o in_o one_o as_o i_o have_v many_o year_n since_o show_v in_o my_o answer_n to_o constantius_n that_o the_o illegal_a violence_n of_o inferior_a magistrate_n be_v exclude_v out_o of_o this_o text_n by_o let_v the_o text_n speak_v for_o itself_o so_o let_v any_o man_n try_v whether_o the_o text_n will_v admit_v of_o a_o rebel_n or_o usurper_n and_o you_o may_v soon_o see_v how_o well_o they_o will_v become_v the_o place_n for_o then_o st._n paul_n word_n run_v thus_o let_v every_o soul_n be_v subject_a to_o a_o rebel_n though_o he_o be_v neither_o high_a power_n nor_o low_a power_n nor_o any_o power_n at_o all_o for_o there_o be_v no_o rebel_n but_o of_o god_n the_o rebel_n that_o be_v be_v ordain_v of_o god_n whosoever_o therefore_o resist_v a_o rebel_n resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o they_o that_o resist_v shall_v receive_v to_o themselves_o damnation_n for_o a_o rebel_n be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n to_o thou_o for_o good_a and_o so_o be_v the_o devil_n and_o the_o inquisition_n whereby_o it_o be_v demonstrable_a that_o st._n paul_n here_o describe_v a_o just_a and_o righteous_a government_n which_o be_v employ_v for_o the_o public_a good_a and_o require_v subjection_n only_o to_o that_o for_o if_o you_o put_v in_o any_o other_o into_o the_o text_n it_o quite_o overthrow_v it_o and_o turn_v it_o into_o blasphemy_n and_o it_o be_v likewise_o demonstrable_a that_o no_o tyrant_n can_v put_v in_o so_o much_o as_o his_o nose_n at_o the_o 13_o of_o the_o roman_n the_o next_o thing_n be_v to_o consider_v whether_o the_o late_a king_n be_v a_o tyrant_n or_o not_o by_o this_o definition_n perhaps_o the_o prove_v he_o so_o will_v as_o much_o displease_v some_o very_a courtly_a people_n as_o the_o call_z a_o crown_a head_n by_o that_o name_n heretofore_o do_v but_o god_n be_v thank_v they_o be_v so_o far_o mistake_v for_o he_o be_v a_o uncrowned_a head_n at_o that_o time_n however_o please_v and_o displease_v be_v not_o my_o business_n but_o do_v all_o the_o right_n and_o service_n i_o can_v to_o my_o country_n and_o to_o that_o just_a and_o rightful_a government_n which_o be_v now_o over_o we_o and_o so_o that_o be_v do_v i_o care_v not_o who_o be_v please_v or_o displease_v this_o definition_n than_o be_v very_o full_a and_o contain_v both_o a_o tyrant_n in_o title_n and_o a_o tyrant_n in_o exercise_n or_o in_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o government_n as_o writer_n of_o
