that_o in_o the_o establish_a law_n of_o the_o lan●_n we_o have_v the_o prince_n will_v and_o consent_v give_v upon_o good_a advice_n and_o to_o obey_v hi●_n against_o the_o law_n be_v to_o obey_v

you_o much_o to_o what_o the_o parliament_n have_v say_v who_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o the_o law_n yet_o thus_o much_o i_o can_v tell_v you_o as_o consonant_a to_o right_a reason_n that_o unless_o the_o parliament_n have_v a_o power_n to_o send_v for_o delinquent_n and_o accuse_a person_n to_o be_v try_v in_o that_o high_a court_n of_o justice_n i_o say_v unless_o they_o have_v such_o a_o

the_o parliament_n for_o some_o notorious_a crime_n it_o be_v grant_v by_o all_o that_o the_o parliament_n have_v a_o power_n to_o send_v a_o sergeant_n at_o arm_n for_o he_o and_o if_o he_o refuse_v to_o come_v that_o sergeant_n at_o arm_n have_v a_o power_n to_o call_v in_o more_o help_n and_o if_o the_o delinquent_n shall_v raise_v twenty_o or_o thirty_o or_o a_o hundred_o man_n to_o rescue_v himself_o than_o the_o parliament_n have_v power_n to_o send_v down_o more_o messenger_n by_o force_n to_o bring_v up_o the_o delinquent_n and_o if_o they_o may_v raise_v a_o hundred_o why_o may_v they_o not_o upon_o the_o like_a occasion_n raise_v a_o thousand_o and_o so_o ten_o thousand_o and_o if_o the_o king_n shall_v protect_v these_o delinquent_n that_o be_v but_o his_o sudden_a will_n the_o doctor_n say_v his_o deliberate_a will_n in_o the_o law_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o his_o sudden_a will_n now_o this_o be_v the_o know_a law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o the_o constant_a

up_o arm_n against_o the_o king_n yet_o herein_o he_o do_v but_o abuse_v they_o mistake_v the_o question_n deceive_v many_o the_o truth_n be_v they_o do_v but_o in_o this_o army_n now_o on_o foot_n under_o the_o command_n of_o the_o earl_n of_o essex_n send_v for_o those_o delinquent_n that_o have_v be_v obnoxious_a to_o the_o state_n and_o to_o deny_v they_o such_o a_o power_n as_o this_o be_v to_o deny_v they_o the_o very_o be_v of_o a_o parliament_n for_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o they_o may_v send_v one_o sergeant_n at_o arm_n for_o one_o they_o may_v send_v one_o thousand_o for_o one_o thousand_o then_o the_o doctor_n tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v a_o marvellous_a thing_n that_o among_o so_o many_o prophet_n reprehend_v the_o king_n of_o israel_n for_o idolatry_n

those_o power_n nothing_o but_o subverter_n of_o that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o just_a ans_fw-fr that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n command_v in_o this_o scripture_n i_o pro●_n by_o these_o reason_n 1._o because_o the_o power_n that_o every_o soul_n be_v here_o command_v to_o be_v subject_a to_o and_o not_o to_o resist_v be_v that_o power_n which_o be_v not_o a_o terror_n to_o go●_n

that_o res●_n shall_v receive_v to_o themselves_o judgement_n then_o the_o reason_n be_v give_v for_o rule●_n be_v not_o a_o terror_n to_o good_a work_n but_o to_o evil_a ver_fw-la 3._o and_o therefore_o the_o subjection_n command_v and_o resistance_n forbid_v be_v not_o in_o thing_n that_o be_v u●_n lawful_a and_o contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n 2._o the_o power_n that_o we_o a●_n command_v to_o be_v subject_a to_o and_o not_o to_o resist_v be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n a●_n the_o minister_n thereof_o be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n to_o we_o for_o good_a ver_fw-la 4._o ●_o say_v the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o ruler_n that_o we_o be_v to_o obey_v he_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n to_o we_o for_o good_a but_o when_o he_o command_v a_o thing_n unlawful_a a●_n contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n he_o be_v not_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n to_o we_o for_o go●_n therefore_o in_o this_o scripture_n there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n command_v we_o to_o subject_n to_o and_o not_o to_o resist_v the_o ungodly_a command_n of_o prince_n ob._n and_o if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o though_o his_o command_n be_v unlawful_a yet_o he_o may_v be_v a_o penal_a ordinance_n of_o god_n for_o our_o good_a i_o answer_v that_o in_o this_o scripture_n we_o be_v not_o command_v to_o submit_v unto_o a_o penal_a ordinance_n because_o the_o submission_n enjoin_v here_o by_o the_o apostle_n reach_v to_o all_o time_n and_o place_n and_o all_o time_n and_o place_n have_v not_o their_o authority_n and_o government_n by_o way_n of_o a_o penal_a ordinance_n 3._o therein_o the_o apostle_n command_v we_o in_o this_o scripture_n to_o be_v subject_n and_o not_o to_o resist_v wherein_o the_o magistrate_n be_v god_n minister_n but_o in_o unlawful_a command_n they_o be_v not_o proper_o and_o active_o god_n minister_n though_o god_n may_v make_v use_n of_o they_o though_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o place_n they_o may_v be_v god_n minister_n yet_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o thing_n command_v they_o be_v not_o when_o they_o command_v thing_n that_o be_v evil_a and_o contrary_a to_o law_n now_o so_o we_o be_v command_v to_o be_v obedient_a as_o they_o be_v in_o that_o action_n god_n minister_n verse_n 6._o for_o this_o cause_n pay_v you_o tribute_n also_o for_o they_o be_v god_n minister_n attend_v continual_o upon_o this_o very_a thing_n 4._o it_o appear_v

though_o nero_n be_v a_o enemy_n to_o the_o christian_n yet_o some_o of_o his_o commandment_n be_v lawful_a and_o this_o direction_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o make_v only_o to_o the_o
