i_o will_v conclude_v this_o topick_n with_o that_o say_n of_o grotius_n in_o the_o four_o chapter_n of_o his_o first_o book_n de_fw-fr jure_fw-la belli_n grotius_n &_o pacis_fw-la and_o in_o the_o

i_o think_v be_v a_o great_a injury_n do_v to_o the_o first_o christian_n who_o come_v new_o from_o the_o discipline_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o apostolic_a man_n do_v better_o understand_v and_o

they_o do_v not_o be_v not_o because_o they_o will_v not_o have_v do_v so_o if_o they_o can_v but_o because_o they_o want_v strength_n to_o do_v so_o which_o say_v of_o grotius_n i_o desire_v the_o reader_n to_o take_v special_a notice_n of_o the_o rather_o because_o grotius_n himself_o in_o the_o very_a same_o section_n seem_v to_o make_v it_o lawful_a for_o christian_a subject_n to_o resist_v the_o supreme_a magistrate_n in_o several_a case_n and_o some_o of_o they_o such_o wherein_o the_o primitive_a christian_n do_v not_o think_v it_o lawful_a for_o they_o to_o do_v so_o as_o grotius_n himself_o in_o his_o aforesaid_a say_n tell_v we_o and_o because_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o authority_n of_o grotius_n and_o what_o grotius_n say_v to_o justify_v the_o resist_n of_o sovereign_n by_o their_o subject_n that_o mr._n baxter_n do_v especial_o ground_n his_o justification_n of_o the_o rebellion_n against_o our_o late_a sovereign_n therefore_o whether_o those_o say_n of_o grotius_n be_v

in_o the_o late_a war_n against_o the_o king_n or_o no_o we_o shall_v examine_v hereafter_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o scripture_n case_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o primitive_a christian_n we_o will_v subjoin_v the_o judgement_n of_o our_o own_o church_n the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o of_o that_o which_o of_o all_o church_n now_o extant_a in_o the_o
