i_o think_v it_o be_v a_o disparagement_n to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o reverend_a judge_n to_o call_v in_o clergyman_n to_o help_v they_o out_o when_o he_o himself_o tell_v we_o p._n 34._o unto_o

in_o this_o point_n before_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o judge_n he_o say_v we_o can_v not_o resolve_v ourselves_o in_o this_o great_a point_n of_o the_o supreme_a power_n inherent_a in_o and_o

of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n in_o this_o doubtful_a question_n do_v agree_v in_o such_o their_o judgement_n and_o doctrine_n fie_o for_o shame_n first_o make_v the_o clergy_n judge_n of_o law_n

this_o bring_v i_o to_o the_o positive_a reason_n of_o my_o dislike_n of_o this_o way_n and_o they_o be_v comprehend_v in_o two_o 1._o that_o i_o do_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o lay_v such_o stress_n upon_o the_o judgement_n of_o churchman_n in_o matter_n of_o law_n and_o such_o sure_o this_o unlimited_a dispense_n power_n be_v a_o mere_a point_n of_o law_n and_o that_o such_o a_o abstruse_a point_n too_o as_o not_o all_o lawyer_n nay_o not_o all_o judge_n have_v former_o be_v agree_v about_o now_o what_o do_v a_o churchman_n judgement_n signify_v in_o matter_n of_o law_n no_o man_n opinion_n be_v of_o any_o value_n but_o in_o such_o thing_n wherein_o he_o be_v skill_v now_o a_o churchman_n do_v not_o signify_v one_o who_o be_v skill_v in_o law_n but_o in_o divinity_n and_o though_o a_o churchman_n shall_v be_v a_o good_a lawyer_n if_o he_o give_v his_o opinion_n in_o any_o point_n of_o law_n his_o opinion_n be_v not_o valuable_a as_o the_o opinion_n of_o a_o churchman_n but_o of_o a_o lawyer_n for_o suppose_v a_o churchman_n be_v skill_v in_o physic_n too_o will_v you_o value_v his_o judgement_n in_o physic_n ever_o the_o more_o because_o he_o be_v a_o churchman_n or_o think_v yourself_o more_o safe_a in_o his_o hand_n than_o in_o a_o profess_a physician_n there_o be_v interloper_n indeed_o in_o all_o profession_n but_o that_o any_o man_n judgement_n shall_v be_v value_v because_o be_v of_o one_o profession_n himself_o he_o give_v judgement_n in_o another_o be_v a_o mystery_n to_o i_o and_o therefore_o this_o writer_n shall_v first_o have_v prove_v all_o those_o great_a divine_n archbishop_n bishop_n dean_n doctor_n with_o who_o name_n he_o have_v so_o pompous_o fill_v his_o title_n page_n and_o to_o who_o judgement_n he_o appeal_v about_o the_o

this_o unless_o by_o the_o title_n he_o give_v dr._n sherlock_n of_o master_n of_o the_o temple_n he_o will_v intimate_v his_o great_a skill_n in_o law_n too_o but_o this_o will_v not_o do_v for_o his_o book_n of_o nonresistance_n be_v write_v before_o he_o live_v within_o the_o infection_n of_o the_o law-air_n so_o that_o it_o seem_v a_o very_a great_a injury_n to_o the_o cause_n to_o appeal_v to_o such_o judge_n as_o have_v no_o skill_n in_o the_o matter_n for_o what_o credit_n can_v the_o opinion_n of_o divine_n do_v it_o when_o it_o be_v not_o a_o point_n of_o divinity_n but_o of_o law_n that_o be_v in_o question_n for_o it_o be_v general_o see_v that_o those_o be_v very_o apt_a to_o mistake_v who_o guess_v at_o thing_n out_o of_o their_o ken_n and_o people_n be_v apt_a to_o suspect_v that_o such_o contemplative_a man_n who_o keep_v their_o study_n and_o seldom_o look_v abroad_o into_o the_o world_n may_v form_v fine_a romantic_a idea_n of_o government_n which_o will_v not_o suit_v the_o public_a constitution_n of_o kingdom_n and_o nation_n second_o i_o think_v it_o be_v a_o very_a dangerous_a thing_n to_o put_v the_o question_n upon_o such_o a_o issue_n as_o this_o the_o design_n of_o it_o i_o suppose_v be_v to_o recommend_v it_o to_o the_o laity_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n by_o such_o venerable_a name_n but_o he_o shall_v have_v consider_v that_o the_o laity_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v not_o so_o priestridden_a as_o they_o be_v at_o rome_n and_o geneva_n they_o have_v not_o a_o implicit_a faith_n in_o their_o spiritual_a guide_n and_o their_o guide_n do_v not_o desire_v they_o shall_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o their_o name_n but_o their_o argument_n must_v prevail_v but_o if_o people_n be_v teach_v to_o rely_v on_o the_o opinion_n of_o their_o minister_n in_o such_o prerogative_n dispute_v the_o popish_a priest_n and_o fanatic_a minister_n be_v great_a politician_n too_o but_o if_o they_o may_v be_v judge_n sovereign_a prince_n will_v get_v nothing_o by_o it_o the_o church_n of_o england_n indeed_o have_v always_o be_v addict_v to_o the_o service_n of_o the_o crown_n but_o there_o be_v other_o maxim_n of_o government_n among_o other_o man_n bellarmin_n and_o suarez_n and_o mr._n baxter_n commonwealth_n and_o the_o dissenter_n say_n not_o to_o take_v notice_n now_o of_o julian_n the_o apostate_n be_v not_o very_o favourable_a to_o the_o prerogative_n of_o prince_n and_o i_o fear_v people_n be_v more_o
the_o divine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v former_o teach_v this_o he_o assert_n and_o this_o i_o hope_v i_o may_v examine_v without_o any_o offence_n for_o it_o be_v no_o condemnation_n of_o their_o reason_n though_o i_o shall_v say_v that_o they_o be_v never_o use_v by_o divine_n now_o a_o reason_n have_v a_o necessary_a relation_n to_o the_o conclusion_n or_o to_o that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v prove_v by_o it_o for_o though_o a_o hundred_o man_n shall_v say_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o draw_v a_o hundred_o several_a conclusion_n from_o it_o you_o can_v say_v that_o their_o

though_o every_o one_o of_o these_o proposition_n which_o be_v here_o say_v to_o be_v the_o judge_n reason_n have_v be_v assert_v a_o hundred_o time_n over_o by_o the_o divine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n yet_o if_o they_o do_v not_o draw_v the_o same_o conclusion_n from_o they_o which_o the_o reverend_a judge_n have_v do_v they_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o same_o reason_n and_o whether_o they_o have_v do_v that_o or_o not_o may_v be_v learn_v from_o what_o have_v be_v already_o say_v and_o yet_o in_o truth_n i_o can_v tell_v whether_o the_o premise_n be_v the_o same_o or_o

archbishop_n bancroft_n who_o it_o seem_v assert_v that_o the_o judge_n be_v but_o the_o king_n delegate_n and_o that_o the_o king_n may_v take_v what_o cause_v he_o shall_v please_v to_o determine_v

by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o scripture_n now_o i_o wonder_v this_o writer_n will_v produce_v this_o and_o that_o for_o these_o two_o reason_n 1._o because_o at_o that_o very_a time_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o king_n james_n my_o lord_n chief_a justice_n coke_n contradict_v the_o archbishop_n and_o tell_v the_o king_n he_o can_v not_o do_v it_o and_o give_v he_o his_o reason_n why_o he_o

more_o than_o he_o get_v for_o if_o he_o have_v get_v a_o great_a churchman_n he_o have_v lose_v a_o very_a great_a lawyer_n who_o judgement_n be_v more_o considerable_a in_o such_o matter_n for_o as_o the_o archbishop_n can_v tell_v he_o what_o have_v be_v do_v in_o scripture-time_n under_o the_o jewish_a commonwealth_n that_o moses_n and_o david_n and_o solomon_n and_o other_o king_n of_o

will_v admit_v which_o be_v more_o to_o our_o purpose_n 2._o i_o wonder_v a_o little_a more_o how_o he_o can_v prove_v the_o dispense_n power_n from_o this_o the_o king_n may_v judge_v what_o cause_v he_o please_v himself_o ergo_fw-la he_o can_v dispense_v with_o all_o law_n when_o he_o please_v do_v the_o power_n of_o hear_v and_o try_v cause_n and_o expound_v and_o interpret_n law_n include_v in_o it_o a_o power_n of_o dispense_n with_o law_n then_o it_o seem_v every_o judge_n be_v by_o his_o office_n a_o dispenser_n with_o law_n if_o the_o king_n have_v power_n of_o determine_v cause_n in_o his_o own_o person_n must_v he_o judge_v with_o or_o without_o law_n if_o he_o judge_v according_a to_o the_o law_n how_o do_v this_o prove_v his_o power_n of_o dispense_v with_o law_n sure_o this_o be_v a_o power_n which_o can_v result_v only_o from_o a_o supreme_a absolute_a and_o unlimited_a sovereignty_n not_o from_o a_o mere_a power_n of_o hear_v and_o judge_v cause_n according_a to_o the_o true_a meaning_n and_o interpretation_n of_o law_n so_o little_o do_v this_o writer_n understand_v what_o he_o write_v about_o and_o it_o be_v great_a pity_n there_o be_v no_o more_o care_n take_v that_o the_o king_n prerogative_n do_v not_o suffer_v by_o such_o unskilful_a scribbler_n his_o next_o man_n be_v a_o very_a great_a one_o indeed_o not_o only_o a_o archbishop_n but_o a_o

the_o severity_n of_o the_o penal_a law_n whereby_o he_o may_v mâ—…st_v his_o clemency_n and_o goodness_n as_o well_o as_o his_o greatness_n and_o justice_n of_o gracious_o pardon_v the_o small_a

when_o i_o do_v know_v that_o in_o this_o he_o have_v a_o adversary_n in_o the_o world_n if_o he_o have_v it_o be_v fit_a such_o a_o man_n if_o ever_o he_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o clemency_n and_o

the_o rigour_n of_o law_n in_o favourable_a case_n another_o to_o dispense_v universal_o with_o such_o law_n as_o if_o doctor_n puller_n book_n prove_v any_o thing_n be_v very_o moderate_a already_o and_o yet_o this_o may_v be_v the_o prince_n prerogative_n result_v not_o from_o moderation_n and_o equity_n but_o a_o plenitude_n of_o power_n as_o for_o his_o anonymous_n author_n with_o who_o he_o conclude_v i_o neither_o know_v he_o nor_o his_o book_n and_o suppose_v the_o cause_n will_v not_o depend_v upon_o a_o single_a authority_n thus_o we_o have_v hear_v what_o the_o reverend_a prelate_n and_o doctor_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v say_v of_o this_o matter_n in_o the_o next_o place_n he_o tell_v we_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o induce_v the_o reverend_a judge_n in_o

tell_v we_o what_o their_o resolution_n be_v how_o far_o they_o extend_v this_o dispense_n power_n whether_o to_o all_o case_n or_o only_o to_o some_o or_o to_o all_o or_o to_o some_o as_o the_o king_n at_o any_o time_n judge_n necessary_a for_o i_o have_v hear_v very_o different_a account_n of_o the_o matter_n but_o can_v never_o see_v any_o authentic_a record_n of_o it_o to_o have_v inform_v we_o in_o this_o matter_n have_v be_v a_o real_a kindness_n because_o it_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o our_o action_n of_o our_o word_n and_o of_o our_o write_n too_o for_o when_o i_o once_o know_v what_o the_o judge_n declare_v to_o be_v law_n i_o will_v inquire_v no_o further_o their_o opinion_n solemn_o declare_v must_v silence_v all_o dispute_n because_o they_o carry_v power_n and_o authority_n with_o they_o unless_o any_o superior_a authority_n think_v fit_a at_o any_o time_n to_o judge_v over_o their_o opinion_n this_o make_v it_o very_o necessary_a to_o know_v what_o the_o judgement_n and_o resolution_n of_o the_o judge_n be_v especial_o in_o any_o great_a and_o concern_v point_n but_o as_o for_o their_o reason_n i_o be_o not_o so_o fond_a of_o know_v they_o because_o it_o be_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o man_n not_o of_o their_o reason_n which_o must_v determine_v such_o matter_n for_o mankind_n reason_v so_o very_o different_o as_o they_o do_v there_o never_o can_v be_v any_o final_a determination_n of_o such_o case_n if_o all_o man_n must_v be_v first_o satisfy_v in_o the_o validity_n of_o their_o reason_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v this_o writer_n have_v do_v no_o service_n to_o the_o cause_n by_o make_v their_o reason_n the_o subject_a of_o dispute_n for_o though_o they_o may_v be_v very_o good_a reason_n yet_o it_o may_v be_v all_o man_n will_v not_o think_v so_o and_o then_o such_o man_n will_v be_v apt_a to_o be_v dissatisfy_v that_o a_o judgement_n which_o as_o they_o think_v be_v not_o found_v on_o sufficient_a reason_n shall_v have_v such_o great_a authority_n for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o say_v as_o this_o writer_n do_v that_o the_o reason_n they_o go_v upon_o be_v only_o such_o as_o be_v exact_o correspondent_a with_o the_o avow_v doctrine_n before_o recite_v and_o that_o by_o this_o declaration_n of_o they_o the_o law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o england_n concern_v this_o sovereign_a power_n in_o the_o crown_n be_v no_o more_o than_o what_o be_v before_o public_o assert_v to_o be_v the_o divinity_n of_o the_o kingdom_n for_o though_o the_o divinity_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v a_o great_a word_n and_o can_v be_v determine_v by_o a_o jury_n of_o divine_n who_o live_v in_o different_a age_n and_o never_o speak_v together_o about_o it_o nay_o indeed_o can_v never_o be_v determine_v by_o any_o

reason_n not_o good_a will_v like_o they_o never_o the_o better_a because_o some_o divine_n have_v be_v of_o that_o mind_n when_o they_o can_v so_o out_o number_n as_o i_o say_v before_o the_o church_n of_o england_n with_o popish_a and_o fanatic_a divine_n who_o teach_v another_o doctrine_n and_o beside_o this_o i_o doubt_v he_o put_v it_o upon_o a_o very_a dangerous_a issue_n for_o if_o after_o all_o his_o confidence_n and_o assurance_n other_o man_n shall_v not_o think_v that_o these_o reason_n do_v so_o exact_o correspond_v with_o the_o avow_v doctrine_n of_o the_o bishop_n and_o

have_v read_v thus_o far_o may_v see_v reason_n to_o suspect_v what_o then_o have_v he_o not_o better_o have_v let_v all_o this_o alone_a have_v not_o the_o reverend_a judge_n great_a reason_n to_o

of_o make_v such_o appeal_v as_o will_v do_v no_o service_n but_o suppose_v these_o be_v not_o the_o judge_n reason_n how_o will_v he_o justify_v himself_o for_o publish_v these_o reason_n as_o they_o

these_o reason_n to_o be_v very_o good_a for_o i_o will_v no_o more_o dispute_v any_o reason_n which_o be_v attribute_v to_o the_o judge_n than_o i_o will_v dispute_v their_o resolution_n yet_o the_o question_n still_o remain_v whether_o these_o reason_n be_v exact_o the_o same_o with_o what_o
it_o foll_v w_n that_o the_o be_v of_o sovereign_a power_n be_v independent_a on_o law_n that_o be_v as_o a_o sovereign_a prince_n do_v not_o receive_v his_o power_n from_o the_o law_n so_o shall_v

plain_o appear_v that_o every_o illegal_a act_n the_o king_n do_v be_v not_o a_o inauthoritative_a act_n but_o lay_v a_o obligation_n on_o subject_n to_o yield_v if_o not_o a_o active_a yet_o a_o

over_o a_o sovereign_a prince_n as_o to_o un-king_n he_o or_o deprive_v he_o of_o his_o sovereign_a authority_n and_o make_v all_o his_o illegal_a act_n inauthoritative_a if_o he_o break_v it_o for_o that_o be_v the_o direct_a answer_n to_o the_o objection_n and_o he_o seem_v to_o have_v look_v no_o further_o and_o indeed_o to_o speak_v the_o truth_n his_o argument_n hold_v no_o further_o for_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o the_o king_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o keep_v the_o law_n but_o he_o be_v a_o king_n still_o and_o can_v forfeit_v his_o sovereign_n and_o irresistible_a authority_n though_o he_o break_v they_o but_o if_o this_o doctor_n judgement_n be_v of_o any_o force_n we_o may_v learn_v what_o his_o opinion_n be_v if_o he_o be_v not_o now_o better_o inform_v by_o his_o

of_o nonresistance_n be_v this_o that_o it_o destroy_v the_o difference_n between_o a_o absolute_a and_o limit_a monarchy_n between_o a_o prince_n who_o will_n be_v his_o law_n and_o a_o prince_n who_o be_v bind_v to_o govern_v by_o law_n which_o undermine_v the_o fundamental_a constitution_n of_o the_o english_a government_n to_o this_o he_o answer_v the_o difference_n between_o a_o absolute_a and_o limit_a monarchy_n be_v not_o that_o resistance_n be_v lawful_a in_o one_o case_n and_o unlawful_a in_o the_o other_o for_o a_o monarch_n the_o exercise_n of_o who_o power_n be_v limit_v and_o regulate_v by_o law_n be_v as_o irresistible_a as_o the_o most_o absolute_a monarch_n who_o will_n be_v his_o law_n and_o if_o he_o be_v not_o i_o will_v venture_v to_o say_v that_o the_o most_o absolute_a and_o despotic_a government_n be_v more_o for_o the_o public_a good_a than_o a_o limit_a monarchy_n but_o the_o difference_n lie_v in_o this_o that_o a_o absolute_a monarch_n where_o by_o absolute_a it_o be_v plain_a he_o mean_v a_o despotic_a prince_n for_o otherwise_o a_o limit_a monarchy_n may_v be_v call_v and_o often_o be_v a_o absolute_a sovereignty_n be_v under_o the_o government_n of_o no_o law_n but_o his_o own_o will_n he_o can_v make_v and_o repeal_v law_n at_o his_o pleasure_n without_o ask_v the_o consent_n of_o any_o of_o his_o subject_n he_o can_v impose_v what_o tax_n he_o please_v and_o be_v not_o tie_v up_o to_o strict_a rule_n and_o formality_n of_o law_n in_o the_o execution_n of_o justice_n but_o it_o be_v quite_o contrary_a in_o a_o limit_a monarchy_n where_o the_o exercise_n of_o the_o sovereign_a power_n be_v regulate_v by_o know_a and_o stand_a law_n which_o the_o prince_n can_v neither_o make_v nor_o repeal_n without_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n etc._n etc._n no_o you_o will_v say_v the_o case_n be_v just_a the_o same_o for_o what_o do_v law_n signify_v when_o a_o prince_n must_v not_o be_v resist_v though_o he_o break_v these_o law_n and_o govern_v by_o a_o arbitrary_a and_o lawless_a will_n he_o may_v make_v himself_o as_o absolute_a as_o the_o great_a turk_n or_o the_o mogul_n when_o ever_o he_o please_v for_o what_o shall_v hinder_v he_o when_o all_o man_n hand_n be_v tie_v by_o this_o doctrine_n of_o nonresistance_n now_o it_o must_v be_v acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v a_o possibility_n for_o such_o a_o prince_n to_o govern_v arbitrary_o and_o to_o trample_v upon_o all_o law_n and_o yet_o the_o difference_n between_o a_o absolute_a and_o limit_a monarchy_n be_v vast_o great_a 1._o for_o this_o prince_n though_o he_o may_v make_v his_o will_n a_o law_n to_o himself_o and_o the_o only_a rule_n of_o his_o government_n yet_o he_o can_v make_v it_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n he_o may_v break_v law_n but_o he_o can_v make_v nor_o repeal_v they_o and_o therefore_o he_o can_v never_o alter_v the_o frame_n and_o constitution_n of_o the_o government_n though_o he_o may_v at_o present_a interrupt_v the_o regular_a administration_n of_o it_o and_o this_o be_v a_o great_a security_n to_o posterity_n and_o a_o present_a restraint_n upon_o himself_o 2._o for_o it_o be_v a_o mighty_a uneasy_a thing_n to_o any_o prince_n to_o govern_v contrary_a to_o know_v law_n he_o offer_v as_o great_a and_o constant_a violence_n to_o himself_o as_o he_o do_v to_o his_o subject_n the_o breach_n of_o his_o oath_n to_o god_n and_o his_o promise_n and_o engagement_n to_o his_o subject_n make_v the_o exercise_n of_o such_o a_o arbitrary_a power_n very_o troublesome_a and_o though_o his_o subject_n be_v bind_v not_o to_o resist_v he_o yet_o his_o own_o guilty_a fear_n will_v not_o suffer_v he_o to_o be_v secure_a and_o arbitrary_a power_n be_v not_o so_o luscious_a a_o thing_n as_o to_o tempt_v man_n to_o forfeit_v all_o the_o ease_n and_o pleasure_n and_o security_n of_o government_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o it_o 3._o though_o subject_n must_v not_o resist_v such_o a_o prince_n who_o violate_v the_o law_n of_o his_o kingdom_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o obey_v he_o and_o serve_v he_o in_o his_o usurpation_n subject_n be_v bind_v to_o yield_v a_o active_a obedience_n only_o according_a to_o law_n though_o they_o be_v bind_v not_o to_o resist_v when_o they_o suffer_v against_o law_n now_o it_o be_v a_o mighty_a uneasy_a thing_n to_o the_o great_a tyrant_n to_o govern_v always_o by_o force_n and_o no_o prince_n in_o a_o limit_a monarchy_n can_v make_v himself_o absolute_a unless_o his_o own_o subject_n assist_v he_o to_o do_v so_o 4._o and_o yet_o it_o be_v very_o dangerous_a for_o any_o subject_a to_o serve_v his_o prince_n contrary_a to_o law_n though_o the_o prince_n himself_o be_v unaccountable_a and_o irresistible_a yet_o his_o minister_n may_v be_v
