A44655	A letter to Mr. Samuel Johnson occasioned by a scurrilous pamphlet, intituled, Animadversions on Mr. Johnson's Answer to Jovian in three letters to a country-friend : at the end of which is reprinted the preface before the History of Edward and Richard the Second, to the end every thing may appear clearly to the reader, how little of that preface has been answered / both written by the Honourable Sir Robert Howard.	Howard, Robert, Sir, 1626-1698.	1692 (1692)	Wing H3000; ESTC R4333	26,604	76

not_o to_o be_v violate_v by_o any_o pretence_n of_o power_n it_o be_v this_o true_a understanding_n and_o undivided_a interest_n of_o the_o king_n and_o people_n that_o must_v secure_v and_o preserve_v the_o honour_n and_o safety_n of_o the_o government_n and_o the_o shake_n of_o both_o must_v always_o proceed_v from_o the_o temptation_n and_o apprehension_n that_o passive_a obedience_n and_o the_o imperial_a law_n must_v infuse_v into_o the_o king_n and_o people_n the_o next_o dirt_n he_o will_v throw_v upon_o i_o be_v by_o a_o side_n wind_n and_o perform_v with_o as_o little_a

i_o suppose_v he_o mean_v read_v it_o a_o drudgery_n he_o will_v not_o own_v i_o believe_v that_o he_o think_v read_v or_o search_v the_o scripture_n a_o drudgery_n but_o i_o suppose_v by_o his_o usual_a uncharitable_a method_n he_o will_v have_v it_o believe_v that_o i_o do_v if_o he_o mean_v it_o of_o himself_o i_o ask_v he_o pardon_v for_o be_v so_o charitable_a to_o he_o if_o he_o will_v fix_v it_o on_o i_o it_o be_v certain_o one_o of_o the_o most_o uncharitable_a and_o groundless_a scandal_n his_o passion_n can_v have_v invent_v and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n give_v himself_o a_o character_n more_o like_o a_o member_n of_o the_o inquisition_n than_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n who_o endeavour_n without_o proof_n or_o reason_n to_o raise_v scandal_n and_o persecution_n which_o method_n this_o nameless_a gentleman_n have_v practise_v with_o as_o much_o uncharitable_a violence_n as_o any_o of_o those_o fierce_a pretender_n to_o religion_n have_v usual_o do_v but_o without_o think_v it_o a_o drudgery_n i_o will_v use_v my_o own_o eye_n and_o cite_v some_o verse_n of_o scripture_n the_o first_o when_o david_n have_v sea_v abner_n abner_n say_v unto_o david_n i_o will_v arise_v 21._o and_o go_v and_o will_v gather_v all_o israel_n unto_o my_o lord_n the_o king_n that_o they_o may_v make_v a_o league_n with_o thou_o and_o thou_o may_v reign_v over_o all_o that_o thy_o heart_n desire_v here_o it_o seem_v a_o league_n be_v think_v necessary_a that_o the_o king_n may_v reign_v according_a to_o this_o all_o the_o elder_n of_o 3._o israel_n come_v to_o the_o king_n in_o hebron_n and_o king_n david_n make_v a_o league_n with_o they_o in_o hebron_n before_o the_o lord_n and_o they_o anoint_v david_n king_n over_o israel_n and_o in_o another_o place_n therefore_o 3._o come_v all_o the_o elder_n of_o israel_n to_o the_o king_n to_o hebron_n and_o david_n make_v a_o covenant_n with_o they_o in_o hebron_n before_o the_o lord_n and_o they_o anoint_v david_n king_n over_o israel_n etc._n etc._n and_o jehoiada_n make_v a_o covenant_n between_o 12._o he_o and_o between_o all_o the_o people_n and_o between_o the_o king_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v the_o lord_n people_n and_o it_o be_v yet_o more_o distinct_o set_v down_o in_o another_o place_n and_o jehoiada_n make_v a_o covenant_n between_o 17._o the_o lord_n and_o the_o king_n and_o the_o people_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v the_o lord_n people_n between_o the_o king_n also_o and_o the_o people_n i_o hope_v now_o my_o angry_a enemy_n will_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o say_v i_o have_v use_v my_o own_o eye_n and_o find_v his_o very_a dim_a or_o else_o will_v not_o see_v the_o plain_a word_n if_o against_o his_o humour_n but_o to_o invalidate_v these_o proof_n he_o object_n that_o we_o read_v of_o no_o covenant_n make_v with_o the_o man_n of_o judah_n who_o anoint_v he_o king_n immediate_o on_o saul_n death_n and_o the_o man_n of_o judah_n come_v to_o hebron_n 4._o and_o there_o they_o anoint_v david_n king_n over_o the_o house_n of_o judah_n i_o know_v not_o how_o he_o will_v use_v this_o unless_o he_o mean_v that_o because_o a_o covenant_n be_v not_o express_v here_o therefore_o there_o be_v none_o speak_v of_o any_o where_o else_o it_o may_v rather_o imply_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n because_o the_o people_n assemble_v as_o they_o use_v to_o do_v at_o other_o time_n when_o a_o covenant_n be_v make_v but_o i_o trouble_v myself_o needless_o with_o such_o a_o frivolous_a show_n of_o a_o argument_n and_o with_o his_o ridiculous_a attempt_n by_o his_o own_o notional_a commentary_n to_o try_v to_o puzzle_v the_o clear_a instance_n of_o david_n and_o jehoiada_n tell_v we_o that_o david_n covenant_n with_o the_o elder_n be_v a_o plain_a treaty_n of_o peace_n and_o that_o joash_n be_v under_o age_n and_o therefore_o uncapable_a of_o contract_v for_o himself_o though_o the_o scripture_n do_v say_v direct_o that_o a_o covenant_n be_v make_v between_o the_o king_n and_o the_o people_n but_o all_o that_o can_v be_v say_v be_v that_o the_o scripture_n differ_v from_o his_o opinion_n but_o it_o be_v enough_o that_o here_o it_o be_v express_o show_v that_o the_o people_n be_v make_v party_n but_o this_o nameless_a author_n may_v have_v spare_v these_o weak_a endeavour_n and_o use_v the_o distinction_n that_o help_v at_o all_o need_v of_o political_a and_o imperial_a law_n and_o then_o he_o need_v not_o fear_v to_o allow_v these_o to_o be_v covenant_n according_a to_o the_o political_a law_n since_o by_o the_o imperial_a law_n the_o king_n may_v choose_v whether_o they_o shall_v be_v valid_a or_o useful_a and_o so_o there_o need_v no_o dispute_n whether_o a_o covenant_n be_v a_o covenant_n or_o no_o which_o indeed_o be_v all_o the_o question_n here_o his_o next_o assault_n proceed_v in_o the_o method_n of_o a_o inquisitor_n in_o these_o word_n i_o may_v observe_v to_o you_o how_o little_a reverence_n sir_n r._n discover_v for_o christian_a religion_n and_o amid_o all_o his_o zeal_n for_o it_o take_v the_o liberty_n to_o make_v sport_n with_o the_o baptismal_a vow_n and_o call_v the_o dreadful_a judgement_n which_o must_v pass_v on_o king_n as_o well_o as_o their_o mean_a subject_n a_o pretend_a account_n to_o be_v make_v up_o only_o with_o god_n the_o nameless_a author_n have_v pull_v these_o two_o place_n together_o to_o make_v a_o accumulative_a charge_n but_o that_o of_o the_o pretend_a account_n be_v at_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o my_o preface_n and_o i_o shall_v give_v a_o separate_a account_n of_o it_o but_o first_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o observe_v to_o you_o how_o malicious_o he_o endeavour_v to_o gain_v a_o belief_n of_o his_o own_o truth_n and_o ability_n that_o he_o can_v make_v appear_v how_o little_a reverence_n i_o discover_v for_o christian_a religion_n i_o appeal_v to_o any_o that_o have_v peruse_v how_o this_o gentleman_n if_o he_o be_v one_o have_v treat_v i_o whether_o they_o can_v believe_v that_o he_o will_v admit_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v fix_v the_o deep_a scandal_n upon_o i_o and_o if_o he_o can_v have_v make_v evident_a what_o he_o will_v have_v other_o believe_v he_o can_v he_o will_v certain_o have_v change_v his_o style_n and_o instead_o of_o i_o may_v he_o will_v have_v say_v i_o will_v now_o observe_v to_o you_o how_o little_a reverence_n sir_n r._n discover_v for_o christian_a religion_n etc._n etc._n but_o this_o be_v suitable_a to_o his_o method_n of_o show_v that_o his_o malice_n exceed_v his_o understanding_n but_o to_o make_v this_o appear_v yet_o more_o clear_o i_o will_v set_v down_o this_o passage_n in_o my_o preface_n in_o which_o he_o pretend_v he_o may_v find_v out_o that_o i_o make_v sport_n with_o the_o baptismal_a vow_n in_o that_o place_n take_v notice_n how_o dr._n hicks_n have_v muster_v up_o many_o tyrant_n to_o mould_n into_o one_o king_n yet_o affirm_v that_o such_o a_o idolater_n and_o complicate_v tyrant_n
