A95803	Novemb. 18. 1642. The unlimited prerogative of kings subverted. Or a short treatise grounded upon scripture and reason, to prove that kings ought as well as others to bee accountable for their actions. By a well wisher to the church of God, his King and countrey. And dedicated to all such as love the truth.	Well wisher to the Church of God, his King and countrey.	1642 (1642)	Wing U84; Thomason E127_32; ESTC R16462	22,383	17

for_o his_o own_o part_n be_v none_o of_o the_o mean_a be_v the_o great_a monarch_n that_o be_v then_o in_o the_o world_n yet_o this_o do_v not_o belong_v unto_o he_o nor_o unto_o any_o king_n else_o

than_o if_o this_o be_v true_a as_o we_o plain_o out_o of_o scripture_n see_v it_o be_v that_o other_o ruler_n as_o well_o as_o king_n be_v call_v god_n than_o king_n as_o well_o as_o other_o ruler_n

the_o power_n resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n etc._n etc._n if_o they_o be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n how_o be_v they_o the_o ordinance_n of_o man_n then_o answ_n here_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o ask_v one_o question_n say_v any_o polity_n or_o state_n choose_v any_o kind_n of_o government_n whether_o king_n or_o duke_n or_o judge_n or_o the_o like_a and_o by_o general_a consent_n for_o

i_o suppose_v you_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o this_o be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n that_o now_o they_o shall_v submit_v themselves_o thereto_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n speak_v concern_v magistrate_n in_o rom._n 13._o say_v not_o a_o word_n concern_v king_n as_o if_o they_o be_v more_o a_o divine_a ordinance_n then_o other_o ruler_n but_o in_o general_a term_n he_o say_v that_o all_o

power_n magistracy_n and_o government_n be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o by_o divine_a institution_n but_o so_o be_v not_o king_n nor_o this_o nor_o that_o nor_o any_o other_o kind_n of_o

their_o choice_n according_a as_o they_o shall_v see_v most_o convenient_a for_o their_o good_a and_o prosperity_n but_o when_o this_o or_o that_o kind_n of_o government_n be_v ordain_v and_o establish_v by_o general_a consent_n of_o the_o people_n this_o be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n which_o the_o apostle_n give_v a_o charge_n that_o every_o one_o be_v subject_n unto_o according_a to_o the_o old_a say_n vox_fw-la populi_n vox_fw-la dei_fw-la the_o voice_n of_o the_o people_n be_v god_n voice_n which_o they_o that_o resist_v shall_v receive_v to_o themselves_o damnation_n so_o that_o still_o you_o see_v there_o be_v a_o power_n on_o earth_n above_o king_n as_o i_o say_v before_o which_o lie_v in_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o people_n from_o whence_o they_o do_v receive_v as_o from_o their_o fountain_n head_n their_o sovereignty_n and_o kingly_a dignity_n now_o then_o from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v follow_v this_o consequence_n of_o necessity_n that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o great_a power_n on_o earth_n than_o king_n be_v then_o king_n be_v accountable_a for_o their_o action_n thereunto_o and_o aught_o to_o be_v subject_a as_o well_o as_o other_o as_o appear_v by_o that_o in_o rom_n 13_o 1._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 etc._n etc._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 word_n we_o see_v the_o apostle_n give_v a_o general_a charge_n to_o all_o inferior_n to_o submit_v themselves_o to_o their_o superior_n therefore_o if_o king_n be_v inferior_a to_o their_o kingdom_n and_o so_o consequent_o to_o the_o representative_a body_n thereof_o then_o king_n ought_v by_o virtue_n of_o this_o charge_n to_o be_v subject_a thereunto_o as_o well_o as_o other_o but_o how_o ought_v they_o to_o submit_v what_o in_o do_v only_o and_o in_o matter_n of_o obedience_n be_v they_o discharge_v there_o so_o as_o though_o they_o abuse_v their_o power_n never_o so_o exorbitant_o to_o spoil_v

nay_o we_o be_v command_v the_o contrary_a and_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n teach_v we_o as_o much_o that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o fester_a and_o a_o gangrene_v member_n in_o the_o body_n that_o will_v

much_o but_o in_o case_n the_o head_n shall_v have_v any_o gangrene_n in_o it_o and_o you_o cut_v that_o off_o you_o do_v immediate_o destroy_v the_o body_n the_o life_n can_v not_o be_v preserve_v when_o the_o head_n be_v go_v so_o in_o like_a manner_n the_o king_n he_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o state_n and_o in_o that_o respect_n he_o have_v such_o a_o influence_n upon_o the_o state_n that_o if_o you_o cut_v he_o off_o you_o destroy_v the_o whole_a state_n together_o with_o he_o as_o you_o destroy_v the_o body_n when_o you_o take_v away_o the_o head_n thereof_o therefore_o be_v

in_o this_o regard_n upon_o their_o king_n when_o as_o they_o be_v so_o careless_a to_o do_v it_o upon_o common_a and_o private_a person_n for_o we_o never_o read_v that_o ever_o there_o be_v so_o

here_o by_o the_o way_n this_o show_v unto_o we_o that_o the_o act_n of_o king_n for_o the_o good_a of_o their_o people_n be_v not_o act_n of_o grace_n as_o some_o flatterer_n will_v make_v they_o

be_v a_o humane_a ordinance_n as_o the_o apostle_n call_v they_o as_o you_o hear_v before_o 1_o pet._n 2.13_o etc._n etc._n do_v ever_o the_o people_n who_o elect_v they_o give_v they_o any_o such_o

to_o govern_v they_o and_o therefore_o as_o the_o apostle_n before_o say_v they_o be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n with_o respect_n to_o their_o people_n good_a so_o here_o the_o apostle_n say_v they_o be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o man_n with_o respect_n to_o the_o same_o for_o so_o he_o say_v submit_v yourselves_o to_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n for_o the_o lord_n sake_n whether_o unto_o
