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

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

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

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

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

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
