heart_n ans._n but_o that_o example_n of_o elisha_n be_v bring_v to_o prove_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o use_v force_n against_o king_n in_o use_v violence_n and_o what_o violence_n have_v be_v already_o use_v the_o world_n know_v ans._n page_n 10._o he_o come_v to_o scripture_n deny_v resistance_n let_v we_o see_v what_o full_a scripture_n these_o be_v the_o first_o be_v num._n 16.1_o etc._n etc._n the_o conspiracy_n of_o corah_n and_o his_o company_n against_o moses_n and_o aaron_n ans._n it_o be_v strange_a that_o this_o example_n must_v be_v parallel_v with_o our_o parl._n take_v up_o arm_n be_v it_o not_o a_o most_o unjust_a and_o vile_a conspiracy_n mere_o out_o of_o the_o pride_n of_o malicious_a spirit_n can_v the_o d._n or_o any_o man_n think_v that_o in_o justify_v arm_n in_o some_o case_n we_o justify_v all_o villainous_a conspiracy_n and_o outrage_n beside_o this_o place_n condemn_v rise_v up_o against_o the_o priest_n as_o well_o as_o the_o king_n yea_o certain_o if_o they_o have_v rise_v against_o the_o mean_a officer_n that_o god_n have_v appoint_v in_o church_n or_o commonwealth_n as_o here_o they_o do_v against_o moses_n and_o aaron_n it_o will_v have_v be_v a_o very_a heinous_a offence_n yea_o if_o moses_n himself_o shall_v have_v thus_o rise_v against_o any_o officer_n appoint_v by_o god_n it_o have_v be_v a_o vile_a sin_n in_o he_o therefore_o this_o prove_v no_o more_o against_o subject_n resist_v prince_n than_o prince_n resist_v subject_n or_o one_o subject_n resist_v another_o further_o we_o do_v not_o rise_v against_o his_o majesty_n as_o they_o rise_v up_o against_o moses_n and_o aaron_n we_o desire_v not_o that_o he_o shall_v have_v less_o power_n than_o god_n and_o the_o law_n have_v give_v he_o but_o we_o will_v preserve_v this_o in_o he_o and_o keep_v off_o the_o stroke_n of_o any_o further_a power_n so_o that_o we_o need_v not_o for_o this_o thing_n so_o much_o as_o examine_v the_o cause_n upon_o which_o they_o rise_v whether_o it_o be_v suppose_v or_o not_o for_o the_o case_n be_v far_o differ_v in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o rise_n but_o corah_n and_o his_o company_n suppose_v the_o cause_n sufficient_a suppose_a cause_n for_o any_o thing_n be_v not_o enough_o ans_n now_o we_o be_v not_o examine_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o cause_n of_o take_v up_o arm_n but_o whether_o they_o may_v not_o be_v take_v up_o by_o the_o subject_a against_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o king_n for_o any_o cause_n well_o our_o conscience_n need_v not_o be_v much_o scruple_v from_o this_o scripture_n let_v we_o examine_v the_o rest_n he_o bring_v the_o second_o be_v 1_o sam._n 8.11_o 18._o where_o the_o oppression_n of_o the_o king_n be_v mention_v and_o no_o mean_n of_o help_n mention_v but_o cry_v to_o the_o lord_n be_v the_o bare_a relation_n of_o the_o oppression_n of_o a_o king_n without_o mention_n in_o that_o place_n of_o any_o mean_n of_o help_n but_o cry_v to_o god_n ans_n a_o sufficient_a proof_n that_o though_o king_n oppress_v never_o so_o much_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o help_n suppose_v i_o bring_v a_o place_n o_o scripture_n where_o there_o be_v a_o relation_n of_o subject_n rise_v up_o in_o a_o wicked_a way_n against_o their_o prince_n and_o in_o that_o place_n there_o be_v no_o other_o help_n mention_v but_o only_o the_o prince_n commit_v this_o to_o god_n and_o god_n revenge_v it_o can_v there_o be_v draw_v from_o thence_o a_o argument_n that_o when_o subject_n rise_v against_o prince_n that_o they_o have_v no_o other_o help_n against_o they_o but_o commit_v the_o cause_n to_o god_n we_o need_v not_o go_v far_o for_o a_o scripture_n in_o this_o kind_n the_o very_a place_n the_o d._o bring_v before_o will_v do_v it_o num._n 15._o when_o corah_n and_o his_o company_n rise_v against_o moses_n we_o there_o read_v of_o no_o other_o help_n that_o moses_n use_v but_o he_o commit_v the_o thing_n to_o god_n and_o god_n revenge_v it_o but_o you_o will_v say_v yet_o there_o be_v other_o place_n that_o show_v that_o prince_n may_v make_v use_n of_o other_o help_n so_o there_o be_v for_o subject_n to_o make_v use_n of_o other_o help_n against_o the_o oppression_n of_o their_o prince_n many_o scripture_n have_v be_v mention_v former_o and_o clear_v ans_n further_o beside_o this_o we_o answer_v that_o the_o power_n of_o all_o king_n be_v not_o alike_o it_o be_v no_o argument_n because_o one_o king_n have_v such_o and_o such_o power_n therefore_o all_o must_v needs_o have_v the_o power_n of_o king_n be_v limit_v or_o enlarge_v by_o the_o several_a law_n of_o several_a country_n let_v we_o see_v what_o the_o three_o scripture_n say_v for_o yet_o our_o conscience_n be_v not_o scruple_v it_o be_v numb._n 10._o that_o the_o people_n may_v not_o go_v to_o war_n but_o by_o order_n from_o he_o that_o have_v the_o power_n of_o the_o trumpet_n because_o there_o be_v a_o positive_a order_n there_o that_o moses_n must_v make_v trumpet_n and_o thus_o use_v they_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o this_o must_v be_v so_o everywhere_o ans_n you_o may_v by_o as_o true_a a_o consequence_n urge_v the_o necessity_n of_o silver_n trumpet_n and_o that_o the_o priest_n shall_v blow_v they_o as_o well_o as_o the_o former_a the_o consequence_n will_v be_v full_a as_o good_a no_o king_n can_v use_v trumpet_n in_o war_n but_o by_o the_o blow_n of_o the_o priest_n for_o it_o be_v command_v there_o as_o that_o no_o people_n can_v go_v to_o war_n till_o the_o magistrate_n use_v the_o trumpet_n because_o it_o be_v so_o order_v there_o we_o know_v the_o law_n be_v judicial_a and_o for_o those_o judicial_a law_n the_o equity_n bind_v no_o further_a than_o according_a to_o rule_n of_o prudence_n and_o justice_n every_o country_n shall_v see_v behooveful_a for_o their_o condition_n beside_o if_o this_o do_v bind_v than_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n for_o a_o act_n to_o pass_v to_o put_v the_o militia_n for_o any_o time_n into_o any_o other_o hand_n for_o certain_o it_o may_v not_o then_o be_v do_v no_o not_o with_o moses_n and_o aaron_n consent_n the_o next_o scripture_n be_v 1_o sam._n 26.9_o who_o can_v stretch_v out_o his_o hand_n against_o the_o lord_n anoint_n and_o be_v guiltless_a why_o do_v the_o d._n speak_v of_o stretch_v forth_o the_o hand_n against_o the_o lord_n anoint_n who_o endeavour_v it_o do_v not_o the_o parliament_n profess_v the_o defence_n of_o the_o king_n person_n 2._o doctor_n willet_n upon_o this_o place_n give_v you_o this_o answer_n that_o indeed_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o a_o private_a man_n to_o lay_v hand_n no_o not_o upon_o a_o tyrant_n for_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o a_o private_a man_n to_o kill_v a_o thief_n or_o a_o murderer_n much_o less_o a_o magistrate_n a_o prince_n but_o second_o he_o tell_v we_o of_o some_o that_o have_v lay_v hand_n upon_o a_o king_n and_o yet_o have_v be_v guiltless_a as_o ebud_n upon_o eglon_n king_n of_o moab_n therefore_o from_o that_o scripture_n there_o can_v be_v a_o general_a proposition_n draw_v that_o no_o man_n in_o any_o case_n may_v stretch_v forth_o his_o hand_n against_o a_o king_n yea_o doctor_n willet_n answer_v in_o the_o three_o place_n that_o yet_o tyrant_n and_o wicked_a governor_n may_v be_v remove_v by_o the_o whole_a state_n he_o indeed_o limit_n this_o and_o say_v it_o must_v be_v understand_v of_o such_o kingdom_n as_o go_v by_o election_n as_o in_o polonia_n and_o give_v this_o reason_n from_o who_o king_n receive_v their_o authority_n by_o they_o may_v they_o be_v constrain_v in_o keep_v within_o bound_n this_o it_o seem_v be_v good_a divinity_n in_o those_o day_n this_o distinction_n he_o use_v to_o deliver_v the_o opinion_n from_o opposition_n in_o england_n but_o if_o the_o distinction_n be_v examine_v there_o will_v appear_v little_a strength_n in_o it_o we_o do_v not_o find_v that_o d._n willet_n be_v ever_o reprove_v or_o his_o writing_n censure_v for_o this_o thing_n concerning_o that_o restriction_n of_o his_o to_o kingdom_n by_o election_n we_o shall_v when_o we_o come_v to_o show_v from_o whence_o all_o king_n have_v their_o power_n see_v that_o if_o it_o prove_v true_a of_o they_o it_o will_v prove_v true_a of_o other_o for_o the_o foundation_n of_o all_o power_n that_o such_o and_o such_o man_n have_v over_o other_o will_v be_v find_v either_o from_o election_n or_o covenant_n which_o will_v come_v to_o all_o one_o d._n ferne_n proceed_v thus_o if_o the_o king_n have_v come_v into_o the_o battle_n his_o person_n may_v have_v be_v hurt_v as_o well_o as_o any_o this_o have_v be_v but_o accidental_o if_o a_o father_n shall_v voluntary_o go_v into_o the_o army_n of_o the_o common_a enemy_n against_o who_o the_o child_n be_v in_o service_n and_o the_o child_n in_o discharge_v upon_o the_o enemy_n
