in_o rom._n 13._o again_o with_o the_o absolute_a monarchy_n of_o roman_a emperor_n this_o have_v be_v answer_v again_o and_o again_o the_o next_o thing_n he_o discuss_v be_v the_o covenant_n the_o king_n enter_v into_o and_o the_o oath_n he_o take_v and_o here_o he_o tell_v we_o our_o king_n be_v king_n before_o they_o enter_v into_o the_o covenant_n or_o take_v this_o oath_n ans._n although_o they_o be_v king_n before_o they_o personal_o do_v covenant_n or_o swear_v yet_o their_o right_n come_v in_o by_o their_o progenitor_n who_o have_v their_o right_n confer_v upon_o they_o by_o some_o agreement_n or_o other_o so_o that_o they_o have_v covenant_v in_o they_o but_o this_o clause_n in_o the_o covenant_n or_o oath_n be_v not_o express_v that_o in_o case_n he_o will_v not_o discharge_v his_o trust_n it_o shall_v be_v lawful_a to_o resist_v we_o do_v not_o stand_v so_o much_o upon_o the_o oath_n that_o every_o king_n take_v as_o upon_o the_o original_a agreement_n between_o people_n and_o king_n whereby_o this_o power_n be_v confer_v first_o upon_o such_o a_o family_n and_o for_o that_o we_o say_v that_o no_o more_o power_n be_v confer_v then_o be_v do_v by_o virtue_n of_o that_o agreement_n and_o why_o there_o shall_v not_o be_v the_o same_o reason_n in_o the_o covenant_n between_o a_o country_n and_o a_o family_n in_o matter_n of_o so_o high_a a_o nature_n as_o there_o be_v in_o other_o covenant_n among_o man_n let_v the_o doctor_n show_v or_o any_o for_o he_o the_o doctor_n confess_v page_n 16._o line_n 21._o that_o law_n be_v for_o the_o restraint_n of_o the_o power_n of_o prince_n but_o at_o length_n after_o the_o discussion_n of_o the_o business_n he_o tell_v you_o that_o to_o argue_v any_o forfeiture_n of_o power_n by_o break_v his_o covenant_n be_v a_o inconsequent_a argument_n you_o must_v believe_v he_o because_o he_o say_v so_o if_o his_o bare_a word_n will_v not_o satisfy_v you_o you_o be_v like_a to_o have_v nothing_o else_o yet_o we_o will_v have_v he_o and_o all_o know_v that_o we_o do_v not_o think_v that_o every_o breach_n of_o promise_n and_o not_o performance_n of_o covenant_n in_o every_o thing_n make_v a_o forfeiture_n this_o indeed_o be_v a_o dangerous_a consent_n but_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o no_o breach_n of_o covenant_n may_v possible_o in_o any_o case_n make_v a_o forfeiture_n we_o confess_v ourselves_o not_o willing_a to_o dispute_v this_o too_o far_o he_o present_o seem_v to_o grant_v that_o there_o may_v be_v some_o force_n in_o the_o argument_n in_o state_n elective_a and_o pactional_a but_o not_o in_o this_o kingdom_n ans._n if_o the_o ground_n of_o all_o power_n that_o one_o man_n have_v over_o another_o in_o civil_a government_n be_v some_o kind_n of_o election_n explicit_a on_o implicit_a or_o some_o kind_n of_o agreement_n at_o the_o first_o let_v the_o doctor_n show_v how_o this_o kingdom_n be_v free_v but_o what_o if_o the_o king_n will_v not_o keep_v to_o his_o agreement_n may_v the_o subject_n do_v nothing_o the_o dr._n answer_v yes_o they_o may_v use_v fair_a mean_n by_o petition_n and_o they_o may_v to_o what_o purpose_n be_v subsidy_n and_o aid_n deny_v ans._n if_o the_o king_n have_v power_n to_o take_v our_o estate_n when_o he_o please_v and_o there_o must_v be_v no_o resistance_n though_o this_o he_o say_v may_v seem_v unreasonable_a to_o people_n and_o very_o impolitic_a to_o the_o statesman_n yet_o plain_a scripture_n and_o reason_n forbid_v it_o but_o this_o scripture_n and_o reason_n lie_v hide_v from_o we_o as_o yet_o we_o have_v examine_v they_o as_o they_o have_v come_v and_o we_o have_v find_v plain_a mistake_n in_o the_o allege_v they_o sect._n v._o this_o section_n be_v spend_v in_o the_o argument_n of_o mean_n of_o safety_n to_o a_o kingdom_n in_o case_n the_o king_n shall_v tyrannize_v if_o they_o may_v not_o resist_v it_o seem_v god_n have_v leave_v they_o destitute_a of_o all_o help_n they_o must_v needs_o perish_v to_o this_o he_o first_o answer_v that_o be_v the_o same_o argument_n that_o it_o use_v for_o the_o pope_n curb_v of_o or_o depose_v prince_n in_o case_n of_o heresy_n otherwise_o the_o church_n have_v no_o mean_n to_o preserve_v itself_o the_o good_a of_o a_o church_n be_v spiritual_a ans_n and_o god_n have_v give_v it_o spiritual_a mean_n enough_o to_o preserve_v its_o spiritual_a good_a although_o there_o be_v no_o such_o power_n of_o the_o pope_n over_o prince_n and_o we_o know_v the_o church_n be_v preserve_v and_o flourish_v in_o spiritual_a beauty_n when_o there_o be_v neither_o pope_n nor_o prince_n to_o preserve_v it_o but_o the_o good_a of_o a_o kingdom_n be_v civil_a and_o natural_a therefore_o it_o must_v have_v civil_a and_o natural_a mean_n to_o preserve_v itself_o by_o in_o case_n of_o danger_n hence_o than_o although_o it_o be_v no_o argument_n that_o pope_n may_v by_o power_n of_o arm_n curb_v king_n and_o because_o else_o the_o good_a of_o the_o church_n can_v be_v preserve_v yet_o it_o may_v be_v a_o good_a argument_n the_o people_n may_v in_o some_o case_n take_v up_o arm_n to_o defend_v themselves_o against_o violence_n although_o the_o king_n give_v not_o his_o consent_n because_o otherwise_o the_o civil_a and_o natural_a good_a of_o man_n in_o a_o kingdom_n can_v be_v preserve_v the_o second_o thing_n he_o say_v be_v what_o mean_v of_o safety_n have_v the_o christian_n in_o and_o after_o the_o apostle_n time_n god_n call_v they_o then_o to_o suffer_v for_o they_o be_v not_o the_o state_n though_o many_o particular_a man_n that_o be_v not_o a_o state_n may_v easy_o be_v bring_v into_o such_o a_o condition_n as_o they_o have_v no_o mean_n for_o safety_n but_o they_o must_v needs_o suffer_v and_o so_o many_o state_n when_o the_o external_a violence_n be_v too_o strong_a for_o they_o but_o when_o god_n and_o nature_n give_v they_o mean_n of_o deliverance_n there_o be_v no_o necessity_n they_o shall_v perish_v when_o the_o doctor_n disprove_v resistance_n better_o we_o will_v either_o fly_v or_o suffer_v as_o for_o the_o christian_n why_o they_o can_v not_o resist_v the_o dr._n speak_v of_o a_o reason_n that_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v satisfy_v in_o because_o thing_n be_v so_o enact_v by_o law_n therefore_o they_o can_v not_o resist_v therefore_o he_o leave_v their_o example_n as_o invalid_a in_o our_o case_n and_o so_o it_o be_v well_o that_o every_o one_o else_o will_v leave_v off_o urge_v that_o we_o may_v never_o hear_v of_o the_o example_n of_o the_o christian_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n apply_v to_o our_o case_n more_o for_o though_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v something_o at_o first_o view_n yet_o it_o be_v nothing_o when_o it_o be_v examine_v but_o than_o he_o say_v the_o edict_n that_o concern_v other_o be_v arbitrary_a to_o this_o the_o answer_n have_v be_v already_o either_o the_o people_n than_o give_v up_o their_o whole_a right_n to_o their_o emperor_n which_o we_o have_v not_o do_v to_o our_o king_n ans_n or_o otherwise_o they_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o their_o arbitrary_a government_n but_o may_v have_v resist_v for_o their_o own_o preservation_n but_o if_o parliament_n shall_v degenerate_v and_o grow_v tyrannical_a what_o mean_v of_o safety_n can_v there_o be_v for_o a_o state_n i_o confess_v the_o condition_n of_o such_o a_o state_n will_v be_v very_o dangerous_a and_o like_a to_o come_v to_o confusion_n particular_a man_n can_v not_o help_v themselves_o ans_n and_o the_o whole_a state_n ought_v to_o suffer_v much_o before_o it_o shall_v help_v itself_o by_o any_o way_n of_o resist_v but_o if_o you_o can_v suppose_v a_o parliament_n so_o far_o to_o degenerate_v as_o they_o shall_v all_o conspire_v together_o with_o the_o king_n to_o destroy_v the_o kingdom_n and_o to_o possess_v the_o land_n and_o riches_n of_o the_o kingdom_n themselves_o in_o this_o case_n whether_o a_o law_n of_o nature_n will_v not_o allow_v of_o stand_v up_o to_o defend_v ourselves_o yea_o to_o reassume_v the_o power_n give_v to_o they_o to_o discharge_v they_o of_o that_o power_n they_o have_v and_o set_v up_o some_o other_o i_o leave_v to_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n to_o judge_v you_o will_v say_v this_o can_v be_v because_o the_o high_a power_n must_v not_o be_v resist_v by_o anâ—_z ans._n this_o be_v not_o proper_o to_o resist_v the_o power_n but_o to_o discharge_v the_o power_n to_o set_v the_o power_n elsewhere_o the_o servant_n do_v not_o resist_v the_o power_n of_o his_o master_n when_o he_o upon_o just_a ground_n leave_v he_o and_o go_v to_o another_o if_o he_o be_v such_o a_o master_n as_o be_v his_o master_n by_o his_o own_o choice_n for_o such_o and_o such_o end_n and_o purpose_n and_o have_v his_o power_n limit_v by_o agreement_n i_o know_v this_o will_v be_v cry_v out_o of_o as_o of_o dangerous_a consequence_n
he_o please_v as_o great_a a_o injury_n i_o suffer_v before_o though_o in_o another_o nature_n when_o a_o few_o piece_n of_o a_o sermon_n i_o preach_v to_o young_a man_n be_v gather_v together_o and_o patch_v up_o with_o a_o deal_n of_o nonsense_n and_o addition_n of_o their_o own_o as_o they_o please_v and_o then_o put_v out_o as_o i_o although_o we_o live_v among_o man_n set_v on_o fire_n yet_o god_n forbid_v but_o we_o shall_v follow_v peace_n but_o it_o must_v be_v the_o peace_n of_o jerusalem_n not_o the_o peace_n of_o babylon_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v have_v the_o people_n know_v their_o liberty_n before_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a these_o war_n will_v have_v be_v prevent_v this_o i_o be_o confident_a have_v be_v the_o great_a encourage_v foment_v argument_n for_o these_o war_n if_o we_o go_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o king_n none_o will_v dare_v to_o stir_v against_o we_o what_o will_v they_o take_v up_o arm_n to_o resist_v their_o king_n have_v they_o see_v the_o weakness_n of_o this_o their_o argument_n at_o it_o be_v apply_v to_o this_o business_n in_o hand_n that_o blood_n that_o have_v be_v shed_v will_v have_v be_v prevent_v and_o if_o the_o people_n of_o the_o land_n know_v the_o liberty_n that_o god_n and_o nature_n and_o law_n give_v they_o there_o will_v soon_o be_v a_o end_n of_o these_o war_n but_o a_o few_o such_o doctor_n at_o this_o be_v may_v
