A81909	Conscience eased: or, the main scruple which hath hitherto stuck most with conscionable men, against the taking of the Engagement removed. Where amongst other things is shewed, first, how farre the oath of allegiance, and the nationall League and Covenant are obligations; either in their legall intents unalterable or at this time no more binding and alterable. Secondly. How farre in a free people the subordinate officers of the state, have a right to judge of the proceedings of a king in that state. Thirdly, how Zedekia'es case in breaking his oath to the king of Babylon, and our case in making use of our freedome from the oath of allegiance, and supremacie to the king of England doe differ. / The author, John Dury.	Dury, John, 1596-1680.	1651 (1651)	Wing D2841; Thomason E625_4; ESTC R206464	25,629	40

therefore_o to_o resolve_v this_o doubt_n also_o i_o shall_v compare_v our_o condition_n of_o subjection_n and_o our_o oath_n bind_v he_o thereunto_o towards_o the_o king_n of_o babylon_n and_o then_o if_o the_o case_n be_v find_v alike_o i_o shall_v confess_v that_o we_o be_v now_o as_o much_o bind_v to_o the_o master_n of_o our_o oath_n as_o he_o then_o be_v bind_v to_o the_o master_n of_o he_o but_o if_o his_o relation_n to_o the_o king_n of_o babylon_n be_v whole_o different_a from_o we_o to_o our_o king_n if_o his_o oath_n of_o submission_n to_o that_o king_n be_v of_o another_o kind_n than_o we_o be_v to_o our_o king_n and_o if_o his_o way_n of_o free_v himself_o from_o his_o relation_n and_o from_o the_o bond_n of_o his_o oath_n towards_o the_o king_n of_o babylon_n be_v quite_o another_o thing_n then_o what_o have_v be_v intend_v by_o we_o then_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v not_o make_v our_o case_n parallel_n to_o he_o but_o in_o all_o these_o matter_n a_o vast_a difference_n
