call_v forth_o upon_o these_o principle_n need_v not_o fear_v of_o be_v conqueror_n a_o just_a cause_n may_v be_v spoil_v through_o the_o ill_a management_n thereof_o or_o through_o perfidious_a deal_n a_o rebellious_a conqueror_n may_v make_v law_n even_o to_o death_n itself_o to_o maintain_v his_o victory_n as_o our_o late_a usurpation_n have_v experience_v but_o at_o last_o the_o whole_a world_n behold_v with_o a_o eye_n of_o admiration_n to_o see_v how_o miraculous_o god_n restore_v his_o majesty_n to_o his_o crown_n and_o dignity_n the_o church_n and_o people_n to_o their_o just_a right_n and_o liberty_n i_o do_v affirm_v and_o true_o say_v of_o sovereign_a power_n kingdom_n law_n and_o army_n as_o be_v say_v of_o hippocrates_n twin_n they_o laugh_v and_o weep_v together_o they_o live_v and_o die_v together_o for_o as_o without_o law_n the_o sovereign_a power_n and_o the_o commonwealth_n can_v subsist_v by_o reason_n of_o disorder_n within_o so_o without_o arm_n and_o the_o exercise_n of_o they_o th●_n can_v be_v safe_a by_o reason_n of_o danger_n without_o i_o shall_v further_o and_o brief_o prove_v that_o the_o safety_n both_o of_o king_n and_o people_n be_v much_o advance_v by_o the_o exercise_n of_o arm_n although_o solomon_n say_v in_o the_o multitude_n of_o people_n be_v the_o honour_n of_o a_o king_n and_o for_o want_v of_o people_n come_v

man_n be_v instruct_v without_o military_a exercise_n there_o be_v some_o disadvantage_n that_o happen_v in_o war_n partly_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o suddainness_n of_o the_o war_n and_o partly_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o inequality_n and_o odds_o betwixt_o party_n and_o party_n now_o soldier_n without_o dexterity_n and_o skill_n can_v never_o be_v able_a to_o extricate_v themselves_o out_o of_o such_o difficulty_n as_o may_v befall_v they_o all_o which_o prove_v that_o the_o exercise_n of_o arm_n be_v to_o be_v allow_v and_o command_v and_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o at_o first_o i_o have_v hear_v some_o say_v that_o we_o live_v in_o gospel_n time_n which_o be_v to_o be_v time_n of_o peace_n and_o not_o of_o war_n therefore_o there_o need_v not_o those_o exercise_n of_o arm_n as_o you_o reason_n for_o etc._n etc._n this_o be_v argue_v by_o some_o out_o of_o covetousness_n to_o save_v their_o expense_n but_o be_v ready_a to_o declare_v when_o there_o be_v occasion_n than_o they_o will_v be_v in_o a_o readiness_n to_o do_v their_o best_a there_o be_v other_o of_o a_o fanatic_a humour_n etc._n he_o speak_v not_o against_o the_o use_n of_o weapon_n or_o lawful_a war._n whereas_o before_o christ_n they_o be_v enemy_n but_o now_o there_o shall_v be_v love_n etc._n etc._n unwilling_a to_o set_v forward_o any_o thing_n that_o may_v be_v command_v they_o &_o argue_v from_o that_o in_o isaiah_n they_o shall_v heat_v their_o sword_n into_o plough_n share_n and_o their_o spear_n into_o prune_a hook_n nation_n shall_v not_o lift_v up_o a_o sword_n against_o nation_n neither_o shall_v they_o learn_v war_n any_o more_o now_o in_o answer_n hereunto_o we_o must_v oppose_v it_o by_o another_o say_n in_o joel_n where_o the_o people_n be_v call_v upon_o to_o beat_v their_o plough_n share_v into_o sword_n and_o their_o prune_a hook_n into_o spear_n for_o the_o reconcile_n hereof_o the_o learned_a say_v that_o isaiah_n be_v to_o distinguish_v between_o the_o purpose_n and_o intent_n of_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o the_o other_o show_v the_o success_n and_o event_n which_o be_v accidental_a in_o respect_n of_o man_n malice_n again_o to_o the_o first_o of_o these_o they_o argue_v what_o christ_n say_v to_o saint_n peter_n put_v up_o thy_o sword_n for_o he_o that_o strike_v with_o the_o sword_n shall_v perish_v by_o the_o sword_n but_o i_o pray_v you_o observe_v what_o he_o say_v to_o his_o disciple_n that_o he_o that_o have_v no_o sword_n let_v he_o sell_v his_o coat_n and_o buy_v a_o sword_n although_o the_o end_n of_o christ_n come_n be_v to_o reconcile_v thing_n in_o heaven_n and_o thing_n on_o earth_n i_o have_v be_v further_o teach_v by_o the_o learned_a that_o this_o be_v attain_v unto_o between_o god_n and_o we_o in_o our_o

none_o of_o these_o by_o their_o usurpation_n may_v for_o ever_o hereafter_o snatch_v the_o trumpet_n out_o of_o moses_n hand_n nor_o the_o trumpet_n only_o but_o the_o sword_n also_o nor_o the_o
