do_v the_o 13_o the_o of_o eliz_n and_o say_v the_o subject_n of_o england_n must_v be_v compel_v and_o shall_v be_v compel_v to_o march_v out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n if_o those_o that_o be_v

duty_n and_o their_o driver_n and_o to_o supply_v this_o lack_n of_o legal_a power_n by_o the_o inward_a impulse_n of_o their_o own_o spiritual_a and_o never-failing_a passive_a obedience_n and_o must_v either_o go_v out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n upon_o this_o occasion_n or_o go_v to_o the_o devil_n for_o their_o wicked_a and_o rebellious_a refusal_n it_o likewise_o repeal_v all_o the_o legal_a limitation_n which_o have_v ascertain_v penalty_n for_o the_o several_a offence_n commit_v against_o the_o law_n as_o for_o instance_n in_o this_o act_n whereas_o the_o law_n say_v that_o the_o chief_a commissioned_n officer_n upon_o the_o place_n may_v imprison_v mutineer_n &_o such_o soldier_n as_o do_v not_o their_o duty_n and_o shall_v and_o may_v inflict_v for_o punishment_n for_o

doctrine_n of_o passive_a obedience_n make_v nothing_o of_o these_o legal_a restriction_n and_o say_v that_o man_n must_v submit_v to_o perpetual_a imprisonment_n or_o to_o be_v hang_v for_o such_o offence_n or_o for_o no_o offence_n at_o all_o if_o those_o that_o be_v commissioned_n will_v have_v it_o so_o i_o humble_o submit_v it_o to_o the_o wisdom_n of_o our_o legislator_n when_o they_o shall_v be_v assemble_v in_o parliament_n whether_o they_o will_v endure_v to_o have_v all_o their_o law_n thus_o use_v and_o suffer_v they_o to_o be_v put_v into_o a_o bottomless_a bag_n as_o the_o poet_n say_v jupiter_n dispose_v of_o lover_n vow_n of_o a_o boundless_a and_o endless_a passive_a obedience_n but_o because_o some_o man_n have_v move_v another_o question_n who_o shall_v be_v judge_n when_o there_o be_v a_o insurrection_n rebellion_n or_o invasion_n and_o consequent_o whether_o there_o be_v occasion_n or_o not_o according_a to_o law_n to_o employ_v the_o militia_n and_o to_o draw_v they_o forth_o into_o actual_a service_n it_o be_v fit_a to_o say_v something_o to_o it_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o law_n have_v judge_v already_o and_o determine_v the_o matter_n to_o our_o hand_n and_o all_o englishman_n know_v as_o well_o as_o if_o they_o have_v the_o opinion_n of_o all_o the_o judge_n that_o go_v peaceable_o to_o market_n or_o to_o their_o parish-church_n be_v neither_o insurrection_n rebellion_n nor_o invasion_n but_o i_o have_v long_o since_o observe_v that_o those_o who_o will_v enslave_v man_n either_o under_o a_o implicit_a faith_n or_o a_o blind_a obedience_n be_v very_o pert_a in_o put_v such_o question_n the_o scripture_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o faith_n but_o who_o shall_v be_v judge_n of_o the_o sense_n of_o it_o and_o when_o you_o have_v once_o allow_v they_o that_o point_n of_o a_o absolute_a judge_n then_o present_o a_o apple_n shall_v be_v a_o oyster_n bread_n shall_v be_v flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o bones_o pig_n shall_v be_v pike_n and_o a_o dog_n shall_v be_v a_o catawimple_a now_o i_o humble_o conceive_v there_o be_v no_o need_n at_o all_o of_o constitute_v a_o judge_n to_o resolve_v that_o the_o barbar_n

legal_a power_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o a_o indemnity_n by_o act_n of_o parliament_n which_o have_v be_v vain_a if_o the_o king_n command_n or_o their_o own_o commission_n will_v have_v justify_v they_o and_o bear_v they_o out_o in_o it_o i_o come_v now_o in_o the_o 2_o d_o place_n to_o produce_v some_o reason_n to_o prove_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o defend_v ourselves_o against_o illegal_a violence_n which_o be_v a_o truth_n so_o obvious_a and_o so_o agreeable_a to_o the_o common_a sense_n of_o mankind_n that_o even_o those_o man_n who_o set_v themselves_o to_o oppose_v it_o do_v oftentimes_o assert_v it_o unaware_o and_o give_v unanswerable_a reason_n for_o it_o i_o shall_v therefore_o first_o set_v down_o those_o concession_n which_o the_o force_n of_o truth_n have_v extort_a from_o this_o author_n and_o 2_o dly_z add_v some_o other_o argument_n to_o they_o 1_o sy_n no_o man_n want_v authority_n to_o defend_v his_o life_n against_o he_o who_o have_v no_o authority_n to_o take_v it_o away_o p._n 69._o but_o no_o man_n whatsoever_o have_v any_o just_a and_o legal_a authority_n that_o be_v any_o authority_n at_o all_o to_o take_v it_o away_o contrary_a to_o law._n p._n 190_o 191._o and_o from_o these_o premise_n it_o be_v easy_a for_o any_o man_n to_o infer_v the_o conclusion_n 2_o he_o that_o resist_v the_o usurpation_n of_o man_n do_v not_o resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n which_o alone_o be_v forbid_v to_o be_v resist_v but_o act_n of_o arbitrary_a and_o illegal_a violence_n be_v the_o usurpation_n of_o men._n therefore_o etc._n

assume_v of_o a_o absolute_a and_o arbitrary_a power_n in_o this_o kingdom_n will_v be_v usurpation_n though_o he_o say_v at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o no_o prince_n in_o this_o kingdom_n ever_o usurp_v such_o a_o power_n which_o be_v notorious_o false_a for_o richard_n the_o 2_o d_o by_o name_n do_v not_o to_o mention_v any_o other_o 3_o dly_z a_o 3_o d_o argument_n which_o this_o author_n furnish_v we_o withal_o be_v this_o p._n 164_o 165._o the_o reason_n why_o we_o must_v submit_v to_o governor_n or_o subordinate_a magistrate_n be_v because_o they_o be_v send_v by_o our_o prince_n and_o act_n by_o his_o authority_n and_o we_o must_v never_o submit_v to_o they_o in_o opposition_n to_o our_o prince_n now_o nothing_o be_v better_a know_v in_o this_o kingdom_n than_o that_o those_o who_o commit_v illegal_a violence_n do_v not_o act_v by_o the_o prince_n authority_n for_o as_o our_o author_n say_v p._n 190._o he_o himself_o have_v no_o just_a nor_o legal_a authority_n to_o act_v against_o law_n and_o therefore_o we_o need_v not_o submit_v to_o they_o in_o such_o acts._n nay_o far_o according_a to_o this_o author_n we_o must_v never_o submit_v to_o they_o in_o this_o case_n because_o they_o be_v in_o opposition_n to_o our_o prince_n for_o they_o act_v against_o the_o peace_n of_o our_o sovereign_a lord_n the_o king_n his_o crown_n and_o dignity_n as_o the_o law_n have_v evermore_o interpret_v such_o acts._n 4_o thly_a our_o author_n p._n 126._o have_v these_o word_n every_o man_n have_v the_o right_a of_o self-preservation_n as_o entire_a under_o civil_a government_n as_o he_o have_v in_o a_o state_n of_o nature_n under_o what_o government_n soever_o i_o live_v i_o may_v still_o kill_v another_o man_n when_o i_o have_v no_o other_o way_n to_o preserve_v my_o life_n from_o unjust_a violence_n by_o private_a hand_n now_o the_o hand_n of_o subordinate_a magistrate_n employ_v in_o act_n of_o illegal_a violence_n be_v private_a hand_n and_o arm_v with_o no_o manner_n of_o authority_n at_o all_o of_o which_o this_o be_v a_o most_o convince_a proof_n that_o they_o may_v be_v hang_v by_o law_n for_o such_o act_n which_o no_o man_n can_v or_o aught_o to_o suffer_v for_o what_o he_o do_v by_o authority_n they_o be_v no_o officer_n at_o all_o in_o such_o act_n for_o illegal_a violence_n be_v no_o part_n of_o their_o office._n this_o be_v sufficient_a to_o show_v that_o this_o author_n hold_v so_o much_o truth_n as_o will_v have_v lead_v he_o to_o his_o own_o conviction_n if_o he_o have_v but_o attend_v to_o the_o immediate_a consequence_n of_o it_o instead_o of_o blending_a it_o with_o a_o great_a many_o falsehood_n and_o after_o he_o have_v answer_v his_o own_o argument_n i_o shall_v desire_v he_o to_o do_v as_o much_o for_o these_o which_o follow_v 1._o no_o man_n can_v authorise_v himself_o but_o in_o act_n of_o illegal_a violence_n if_o a_o subordinate_a magistrate_n have_v any_o authority_n at_o all_o he_o must_v authorise_v himself_o for_o it_o be_v a_o contradiction_n to_o say_v the_o law_n authorise_v he_o to_o do_v a_o illegal_a act_n as_o our_o author_n well_o observe_v p._n 195._o and_o it_o be_v as_o false_a to_o say_v that_o the_o king_n who_o can_v do_v no_o wrong_n can_v authorise_v another_o to_o do_v it_o in_o the_o great_a conference_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o commons_o 3_o o_o caroli_n concern_v the_o

&_o actor_n fit_a author_n and_o the_o actor_n become_v the_o wrongdoer_n that_o be_v he_o act_v of_o his_o own_o head_n and_o authorise_v himself_o 2_o dly_z the_o illegal_a violence_n of_o subordinate_a magistrate_n can_v be_v more_o irresistible_a only_o by_o be_v more_o criminal_a than_o it_o be_v in_o other_o man_n for_o that_o will_v be_v to_o make_v a_o man_n crime_n to_o be_v
