no_o neither_o so_o nor_o so_o and_o what_o now_o if_o after_o all_o this_o bustle_v the_o doctor_n know_v well_o enough_o what_o i_o will_v be_v at_o if_o nor_o what_o do_v he_o mean_v by_o that_o

the_o full_a administration_n of_o the_o government_n be_v a_o reason_n to_o submit_v to_o he_o as_o to_o god_n ordinance_n and_o minister_n with_o reference_n to_o this_o i_o say_v as_o above_o and_o i_o think_v the_o consequence_n be_v plain_a enough_o though_o the_o doctor_n will_v not_o understand_v it_o if_o nothing_o will_v justify_v the_o submission_n to_o a_o usurper_n when_o the_o right_a heir_n be_v alive_a and_o know_v where_o god_n entail_v the_o crown_n then_o much_o more_o so_o where_o god_n himself_o be_v their_o king_n and_o i_o will_v fain_o see_v a_o reason_n why_o god_n entail_v shall_v be_v of_o more_o force_n to_o oblige_v they_o to_o prosecute_v all_o usurper_n to_o the_o utmost_a and_o never_o submit_v to_o they_o than_o his_o own_o immediate_a government_n this_o i_o think_v be_v as_o clear_v against_o the_o use_n the_o doctor_n make_v of_o this_o distinction_n as_o any_o thing_n can_v be_v and_o all_o his_o little_a shift_n of_o the_o heir_n be_v know_v of_o anoint_v he_o p._n vindic._n p._n and_o of_o his_o actual_a possession_n will_v signify_v nothing_o here_o with_o respect_n to_o god_n immediate_a government_n but_o this_o the_o doctor_n do_v not_o understand_v and_o therefore_o will_v give_v no_o answer_n to_o it_o but_o any_o man_n that_o consider_v the_o answer_n he_o have_v give_v will_v be_v apt_a to_o suspect_v that_o he_o do_v not_o only_o understand_v it_o but_o understand_v also_o that_o there_o be_v no_o fence_n for_o it_o for_o it_o have_v make_v he_o perfect_o alter_v the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n and_o utter_o forsake_v his_o distinction_n for_o he_o now_o tell_v we_o roundly_o they_o may_v submit_v i._n e._n become_v subject_n to_o force_v that_o while_o the_o israelite_n be_v under_o no_o foreign_a force_n but_o have_v liberty_n to_o live_v by_o their_o own_o law_n they_o be_v bind_v to_o make_v he_o their_o prince_n on_o who_o god_n have_v entail_v the_o crown_n while_o they_o be_v under_o force_n they_o may_v do_v as_o they_o can_v and_o submit_v to_o the_o conqueror_n which_o submission_n can_v not_o give_v these_o usurper_n a_o legal_a right_o according_a to_o the_o law_n and_o constitution_n of_o the_o jewish_a commonwealth_n but_o according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n which_o allow_v submission_n to_o a_o conqueror_n it_o do_v very_o well_o then_o pray_v what_o become_v of_o nothing_o can_v justify_v the_o submission_n to_o a_o usurper_n when_o the_o king_n son_n be_v find_v and_o subject_n be_v bind_v to_o adhere_v to_o their_o prince_n of_o god_n choose_n when_o know_v and_o to_o prosecute_v all_o usurper_n to_o the_o utmost_a and_o never_o submit_v to_o their_o government_n i_o have_v think_v that_o nothing_o and_o never_o will_v have_v exclude_v

government_n and_o i_o desire_v the_o doctor_n in_o his_o next_o to_o show_v i_o how_o to_o reconcile_v they_o but_o to_o leave_v the_o doctor_n to_o reconcile_v his_o contradiction_n as_o well_o as_o he_o can_v let_v we_o a_o little_a consider_v his_o new_a state_n the_o sum_n of_o which_o be_v that_o force_n will_v justify_v submission_n from_o what_o quarter_n soever_o it_o come_v that_o in_o matter_n of_o government_n it_o be_v a_o unalterable_a right_n of_o nature_n to_o submit_v to_o force_v that_o force_v justify_v the_o submission_n of_o the_o israelite_n though_o they_o have_v god_n for_o their_o king_n and_o though_o they_o be_v oblige_v by_o their_o covenant_n with_o he_o not_o to_o accept_v such_o king_n to_o govern_v they_o and_o that_o by_o parity_n of_o reason_n it_o will_v justify_v the_o subject_n of_o humane_a government_n whatever_o their_o oath_n and_o obligation_n be_v now_o from_o hence_o i_o have_v these_o thing_n to_o observe_v 1._o that_o this_o be_v nothing_o to_o his_o hypothesis_n for_o what_o be_v submit_v to_o force_v to_o a_o providential_a king_n and_o god_n authority_n be_v all_o force_n god_n authority_n and_o may_v it_o claim_v a_o divine_a

the_o most_o holy_a and_o solemn_a manner_n bind_v to_o god_n and_o man._n for_o by_o submission_n to_o force_v the_o doctor_n do_v not_o mean_v a_o passive_a submission_n which_o no_o body_n

and_o aught_o to_o have_v be_v depose_v and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o difference_n be_v manifest_a because_o the_o crown_n of_o judah_n be_v entail_v but_o the_o crown_n of_o israel_n be_v not_o and_o the_o possession_n of_o the_o throne_n by_o athaliah_n be_v in_o prejudice_n of_o the_o right_a heir_n but_o the_o possession_n by_o baasha_n in_o israel_n be_v not_o for_o no_o person_n have_v a_o better_a right_n to_o it_o than_o himself_o and_o this_o be_v a_o plain_a answer_n to_o that_o tedious_a account_n the_o doctor_n give_v in_o the_o two_o next_o page_n of_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n and_o israel_n after_o the_o division_n of_o the_o ten_o tribe_n whereas_o the_o plain_a difference_n be_v that_o the_o one_o be_v hereditary_a and_o not_o the_o other_o and_o therefore_o in_o israel_n possession_n of_o the_o crown_n give_v a_o right_a to_o it_o for_o there_o be_v no_o better_a right_n against_o it_o but_o in_o judah_n it_o do_v not_o and_o this_o seem_v the_o true_a reason_n why_o the_o convocation_n mention_v the_o right_a heir_n of_o that_o kingdom_n be_v then_o live_v i._n e._n there_o be_v a_o plain_a and_o visible_a right_n in_o

sufficient_a answer_n to_o what_o he_o say_v in_o the_o next_o page_n but_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n more_o deserve_v to_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n he_o give_v of_o the_o different_a behaviour_n of_o david_n and_o jehu_n because_o saul_n be_v a_o king_n by_o god_n nomination_n and_o joram_n only_o a_o providential_a king_n his_o word_n be_v this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o different_a behaviour_n of_o david_n and_o jehu_n 35._o vindic_n p._n 35._o david_n be_v anoint_v as_o well_o as_o jehu_n but_o he_o never_o pretend_v to_o the_o crown_n while_o saul_n live_v because_o there_o be_v then_o a_o anoint_a king_n on_o the_o throne_n but_o this_o be_v not_o joram_n be_v case_n he_o have_v no_o more_o than_o a_o providenti●_n right_o which_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o israel_n must_v give_v place_n to_o god_n anoint_v and_o therefore_o jehu_n be_v king_n of_o israel_n as_o soon_o as_o he_o be_v anoint_v and_o joram_n be_v his_o subject_n this_o be_v a_o pure_a reason_n as_o if_o god_n by_o his_o nomination_n of_o a_o person_n have_v divest_v himself_o of_o the_o right_n of_o nominate_v another_o in_o his_o life-time_n if_o he_o have_v so_o

another_o by_o providence_n in_o the_o life-time_n of_o the_o first_o king_n for_o there_o be_v no_o more_o difference_n between_o nomination_n and_o nomination_n than_o there_o be_v between_o providence_n and_o providence_n i_o know_v the_o doctor_n say_v that_o when_o god_n nominate_v any_o king_n it_o be_v always_o for_o life_n but_o that_o be_v say_v without_o proof_n for_o where_o do_v he_o find_v such_o a_o clause_n in_o the_o gift_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v king_n during_o life_n but_o the_o true_a reason_n of_o the_o different_a behaviour_n of_o david_n and_o jehu_n be_v not_o because_o saul_n be_v a_o anoint_a king_n and_o joram_n a_o providential_a king_n nor_o yet_o from_o their_o be_v both_o anoint_a for_o the_o doctor_n may_v find_v that_o long_a before_o this_o time_n of_o elisha_n command_v the_o anoint_v of_o jehu_n that_o god_n have_v command_v e●ijah_n to_o anoint_v h●zael_n king_n of_o syria_n and_o jehu_n king_n of_o israel_n which_o if_o elijah_n obey_v as_o

according_a to_o the_o doctor_n providential_a king_n and_o therefore_o they_o do_v not_o immediate_o enter_v into_o possession_n by_o virtue_n of_o their_o be_v anoint_v or_o because_o the_o king_n

in_o fact_n they_o refuse_v to_o submit_v to_o the_o usurper_n in_o the_o throne_n and_o adhere_v to_o the_o legal_a king_n out_o of_o the_o throne_n and_o if_o the_o dr._n can_v find_v any_o other_o

not_o to_o meddle_v with_o those_o bold_a expression_n what_o do_v or_o what_o do_v not_o become_v the_o wise_a governor_n of_o the_o world_n i_o be_o sure_a it_o become_v we_o to_o speak_v a_o

and_o then_o why_o may_v not_o god_n give_v they_o those_o kingdom_n he_o have_v overturn_v by_o they_o this_o be_v the_o only_a point_n and_o it_o be_v dwindle_a into_o a_o question_n and_o the_o

that_o be_v and_o be_v in_o the_o actual_a administration_n of_o it_o which_o be_v the_o only_a evidence_n we_o have_v that_o they_o have_v receive_v it_o from_o god_n for_o what_o though_o passive_n

3._o must_v not_o transfer_v our_o allegiance_n to_o another_o now_o the_o dr._n will_v not_o except_v against_o this_o doctrine_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o its_o author_n and_o he_o may_v please_v to_o
