that_o defensive_a arm_n seem_v to_o i_o very_o clear_o inconsistent_a with_o that_o mortification_n submission_n and_o patience_n which_o be_v recommend_v by_o our_o bless_a saviour_n in_o all_o the_o strain_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o how_o will_v these_o people_n give_v their_o coat_n to_o a_o stranger_n or_o hold_v up_o their_o other_o cheek_n to_o he_o when_o they_o will_v rise_v even_o in_o rebellion_n against_o their_o native_a prince_n 2._o as_o the_o take_n up_o of_o arm_n be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o temper_n require_v in_o a_o christian_a so_o it_o seem_v a_o very_a unsuitable_a mean_n for_o effectuate_a the_o end_n for_o which_o it_o be_v design_v since_o religion_n be_v a_o conviction_n of_o what_o we_o owe_v to_o god_n how_o can_v that_o be_v command_v which_o shall_v be_v persuade_v and_o how_o can_v arm_n become_v argument_n or_o how_o can_v external_n force_v influence_n immaterial_a substance_n such_o as_o be_v the_o soul_n of_o men._n and_o we_o may_v as_o well_o think_v to_o awake_v a_o man_n conscience_n by_o drum_n or_o to_o persuade_v his_o judgement_n by_o musket_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n speak_v only_o of_o spiritual_a arm_n in_o this_o our_o warfare_n the_o sword_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o helmet_n of_o salvation_n etc._n etc._n but_o good_a god_n how_o can_v the_o extravagancy_n of_o force_v the_o magistrate_n by_o arm_n in_o defence_n of_o religion_n enter_v into_o man_n head_n when_o it_o be_v unlawful_a even_o for_o the_o magistrate_n himself_o to_o force_v religion_n by_o arms._n and_o as_o subject_n shall_v not_o be_v by_o the_o king_n force_v to_o religion_n so_o if_o they_o use_v force_n against_o the_o king_n the_o pretext_n of_o religion_n though_o specious_a shall_v not_o defend_v they_o and_o therefore_o when_o the_o son_n of_o zebedee_n desire_v fire_n from_o heaven_n upon_o those_o who_o oppose_v even_o our_o saviour_n he_o tell_v they_o that_o they_o know_v not_o what_o spirit_n they_o be_v of_o 3._o it_o seem_v very_a derogatory_n to_o the_o power_n of_o almighty_a god_n that_o he_o shall_v need_v humane_a assistance_n and_o it_o be_v a_o lessen_v of_o the_o great_a esteem_n that_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v for_o the_o energy_n force_n and_o reasonableness_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n that_o it_o need_v to_o be_v force_v upon_o man_n by_o arm_n as_o if_o it_o be_v not_o able_a to_o force_v its_o own_o way_n this_o mahomet_n need_v for_o his_o cheat_n but_o our_o bless_a saviour_n need_v not_o for_o his_o divine_a precept_n and_o therefore_o when_o peter_n offer_v to_o fight_v for_o he_o our_o saviour_n check_v he_o command_v he_o to_o put_v up_o his_o sword_n and_o to_o persuade_v he_o the_o more_o effectual_o assure_v he_o that_o all_o they_o who_o take_v the_o sword_n shall_v perish_v by_o it_o and_o that_o his_o kingdom_n be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n and_o so_o he_o need_v no_o such_o worldly_a help_n but_o if_o he_o please_v to_o call_v for_o legion_n of_o angel_n his_o omnipotent_a father_n will_v send_v they_o and_o sure_a angel_n be_v fit_a and_o able_a instrument_n to_o carry_v on_o such_o a_o work_n of_o reformation_n than_o rebellious_a regiment_n of_o horse_n and_o dragoon_n 4._o our_o bless_a saviour_n foresee_v that_o man_n corruption_n will_v in_o spite_n of_o christianity_n prompt_v he_o to_o resist_v he_o therefore_o do_v command_n by_o the_o apostle_n paul_n rom._n 13._o v._n 1._o and_o 2._o let_v every_o soul_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o high_a power_n for_o there_o be_v no_o power_n but_o of_o god_n the_o power_n that_o be_v be_v ordain_v of_o god_n whosoever_o therefore_o resist_v the_o power_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 in_o which_o text_n it_o be_v very_o remarkable_a that_o the_o apostle_n urge_v this_o christian_a duty_n of_o submission_n as_o be_v a_o mark_n of_o man_n immediate_a dependence_n upon_o god_n and_o as_o that_o which_o when_o contemn_v bring_v eternal_a damnation_n and_o whereas_o it_o be_v pretend_v that_o this_o text_n command_v only_a submission_n to_o magistrate_n whilst_o they_o act_n pious_o and_o virtuous_o because_o only_o in_o so_o far_o they_o be_v god_n vicegerent_n but_o forbid_v not_o resistance_n to_o their_o impious_a command_n it_o be_v answer_v that_o the_o text_n have_v no_o such_o limitation_n and_o we_o must_v have_v so_o much_o respect_n to_o the_o scripture_n as_o to_o think_v that_o if_o god_n almighty_n have_v design_v to_o allow_v such_o a_o opposition_n he_o will_v have_v warrant_v it_o in_o as_o clear_a term_n as_o he_o command_v the_o submission_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o this_o submission_n be_v command_v be_v not_o because_o the_o power_n be_v right_o use_v but_o because_o the_o power_n be_v ordain_v of_o god_n and_o we_o see_v that_o st._n paul_n himself_o do_v think_v that_o the_o power_n shall_v be_v reverence_v even_o when_o abuse_v for_o when_o the_o high_a priest_n be_v injure_v he_o he_o acknowledge_v that_o he_o be_v oblige_v not_o to_o speak_v evil_a of_o the_o ruler_n of_o his_o people_n act_v 23._o 2._o and_o if_o this_o place_n of_o scripture_n and_o the_o submission_n therein_o command_v be_v so_o to_o be_v limit_v we_o behove_v likewise_o so_o to_o limit_v the_o five_o commandment_n and_o not_o to_o honour_v our_o parent_n except_o when_o they_o be_v pious_a nor_o to_o obey_v they_o if_o they_o vex_v or_o trouble_v we_o and_o st._n paul_n have_v write_v this_o epistle_n to_o those_o who_o be_v then_o live_v under_o that_o monstrous_a emperor_n caius_n do_v clear_o design_n that_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v to_o be_v admire_v for_o command_a subject_n not_o only_o to_o obey_v good_a prince_n but_o even_o submit_v peaceable_o to_o tyrant_n and_o suitable_a to_o this_o doctrine_n be_v these_o text_n heb._n ch_n 12._o v._n 9_o we_o have_v father_n of_o our_o flesh_n who_o
