not_o guilty_a he_o have_v divide_v the_o duty_n of_o man_n into_o three_o great_a branch_n his_o duty_n to_o god_n to_o himself_o and_o to_o his_o neighbour_n in_o his_o duty_n to_o god_n he_o put_v

according_a to_o the_o scripture_n out_o of_o which_o they_o will_v bring_v perhaps_o example_n of_o david_n and_o his_o adherent_n that_o resist_v king_n saul_n and_o of_o the_o prophet_n afterward_o that_o vehement_o from_o time_n to_o time_n preach_v against_o the_o idolatrous_a king_n of_o israel_n and_o judah_n saul_n be_v their_o lawful_a king_n and_o yet_o they_o pay_v he_o neither_o active_a nor_o passive_a obedience_n for_o they_o do_v put_v themselves_o into_o a_o posture_n of_o defence_n against_o he_o though_o david_n himself_o spare_v his_o person_n and_o so_o do_v the_o presbyterian_o put_v into_o their_o commission_n to_o their_o general_n that_o they_o shall_v spare_v the_o king_n person_n beside_o you_o can_v doubt_v but_o that_o they_o who_o in_o the_o pulpit_n do_v animate_v the_o people_n to_o take_v arm_n in_o defence_n of_o the_o then_o parliament_n allege_a scripture_n that_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o it_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a then_o for_o subject_n to_o resist_v the_o king_n when_o he_o command_v any_o thing_n against_o the_o scripture_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o command_n of_o god_n and_o to_o be_v judge_n of_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o scripture_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o life_n of_o any_o king_n or_o the_o peace_n of_o any_o christian_a kingdom_n can_v be_v long_o secure_a it_o be_v this_o doctrine_n that_o divide_v a_o kingdom_n within_o itself_o whatsoever_o the_o man_n be_v loyal_a or_o rebel_n that_o write_v or_o preach_v it_o public_o and_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o if_o those_o seditious_a minister_n be_v try_v by_o this_o doctrine_n they_o will_v come_v off_o well_o enough_o b._n i_o see_v it_o and_o wonder_v at_o people_n that_o have_v never_o speak_v with_o god_n almighty_a nor_o know_v one_o more_o than_o another_o what_o he_o have_v say_v when_o the_o law_n and_o the_o preacher_n disagree_v shall_v so_o keen_o follow_v the_o minister_n for_o the_o most_o part_n a_o

a._n let_v we_o examine_v his_o word_n a_o little_a near_o first_o concern_v passive_a obedience_n when_o a_o thief_n have_v break_v the_o law_n and_o according_a to_o the_o law_n be_v therefore_o
