be_v the_o proper_a meaning_n of_o the_o mishpat_o hameleck_n in_o 1_o sam._n 8_o 11._o that_o a_o king_n not_o only_a de_fw-fr jure_fw-la may_v but_o will_v in_o case_n of_o necessity_n require_v the_o good_n of_o his_o subject_n without_o any_o suspicion_n of_o tyranny_n or_o oppression_n and_o my_o argument_n for_o this_o my_o opinion_n be_v 1._o because_o as_o i_o find_v the_o word_n mishpat_v translate_v here_o and_o else_o where_o manner_n and_o custom_n so_o i_o find_v it_o also_o oftentimes_o translate_v judgement_n statute_n law_n or_o right_o judgement_n or_o right_n from_o shapat_o judicavit_fw-la therefore_o may_v be_v translate_v the_o king_n right_a or_o prerogative_n royal_a for_o this_o be_v its_o most_o proper_a signification_n as_o its_o original_n import_v so_o judg._n 16_o 31._o he_o judge_v israel_n twenty_o year_n id_fw-la est_fw-la rex_fw-la erat_fw-la qui_fw-la jure_fw-la &_o justitia_fw-la vindicaverat_fw-la as_o buxtorf_n on_o the_o word_n shapat_fw-la pag._n 838._o and_o so_o in_o many_o other_o place_n there_o cite_v to_o which_o i_o refer_v the_o doubter_n and_o the_o word_n mishpat_o be_v take_v many_o time_n so_o psal_n 105_o 5._o jer._n 4_o 12._o psal_n 72_o 1._o the_o word_n signify_v both_o the_o sentence_n of_o a_o judge_n and_o the_o right_n that_o be_v do_v to_o a_o man_n by_o that_o sentence_n as_o be_v observe_v by_o the_o excellent_a drusius_n on_o joel_n 3_o 2._o this_o be_v its_o most_o proper_a signification_n but_o the_o word_n custom_n and_o manner_n but_o metaphorical_a there_o be_v great_a reason_n we_o shall_v rather_o read_v it_o the_o king_n right_o and_o according_o the_o vulgar_a have_v turn_v it_o jus_o regis_fw-la and_o junius_n and_o tremellius_n 1_o sam._n 10_o 25._o which_o we_o call_v the_o manner_n of_o the_o kingdom_n have_v turn_v it_o jus_o regni_n so_o we_o read_v of_o a_o place_n gen._n 14_o 7._o call_v enmishpat_o the_o fountain_n of_o judgement_n as_o the_o king_n may_v proper_o be_v call_v and_o the_o septuagint_n turn_v this_o mishpat_v into_o dikaioma_fw-mi thou_fw-mi basileo_n which_o word_n dikaiomad_a if_o we_o believe_v beza_n on_o rom._n 1_o 32._o will_n signify_v sometime_o legem_fw-la naturae_fw-la vel_fw-la jus_o gentium_fw-la 2._o consider_v we_o what_o it_o be_v the_o israelite_n seek_v it_o be_v not_o a_o tyrant_n but_o a_o king_n rescripta_fw-la sunt_fw-la interpretanda_fw-la juxta_fw-la petita_fw-la according_a to_o the_o rule_n in_o the_o civil_a law_n except_o we_o will_v say_v of_o god_n according_a to_o that_o mat._n 7_o 10._o when_o we_o ask_v a_o fish_n he_o will_v give_v we_o a_o serpent_n which_o be_v horrid_a blasphemy_n 3._o why_o shall_v samuel_n say_v this_o be_v the_o peculiar_a manner_n of_o king_n be_v not_o this_o the_o custom_n of_o any_o other_o judge_n and_o magistrate_n as_o well_o as_o of_o king_n to_o degenerate_v some_o time_n and_o be_v tyrannical_a as_o we_o see_v what_o jotham_n say_v of_o abimeleck_n judg._n 9_o 14._o that_o he_o be_v become_v a_o bramle_n in_o stead_n of_o a_o vine_n see_v also_o what_o be_v say_v of_o the_o son_n of_o eli_n and_o samuel_n that_o be_v no_o king_n 1_o sam._n 2_o 16._o that_o they_o turn_v cruel_a tyrannical_a base_a and_o oppressive_a so_o that_o man_n abhor_v the_o offer_n of_o the_o lord_n 1_o sam._n 8_o 3._o it_o be_v say_v of_o his_o son_n that_o he_o turn_v aside_o after_o lucre_n take_v bribe_n and_o pervert_v judgement_n why_o then_o shall_v this_o be_v call_v the_o manner_n of_o king_n only_o since_o it_o be_v also_o incident_a to_o inferior_a magistrate_n and_o perhaps_o much_o more_o 4._o i_o will_v glad_o know_v if_o by_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o king_n and_o kingdom_n 1_o sam._n 8._o verss_n 11._o and_o 10._o and_o 25._o any_o thing_n that_o be_v unjust_a and_o unlawful_a be_v mean_v as_o tyranny_n and_o oppression_n as_o in_o their_o opinion_n the_o word_n must_v needs_o import_v do_v they_o think_v that_o the_o excellent_a samuel_n shall_v have_v take_v the_o pain_n to_o have_v write_v these_o unjust_a law_n in_o a_o register_n and_o lay_v they_o up_o beside_o the_o ark_n of_o the_o covenant_n or_o rather_o if_o we_o believe_v josephus_n lib._n 6._o antiquit_fw-la jud._n cap._n 5._o in_o the_o ark_n itself_o for_o a_o perpetual_a memorial_n nay_o he_o be_v so_o just_a a_o judge_n will_v have_v rather_o cause_v burn_v and_o destroy_v all_o these_o monument_n of_o iniquity_n wherefore_o this_o mishpat_v hameleck_n can_v be_v rational_o suppose_v to_o involve_v any_o tyrannical_a exaction_n or_o oppression_n of_o the_o people_n as_o they_o expone_fw-la it_z samuel_n to_o make_v a_o law_n for_o oppression_n a_o man_n both_o wise_a and_o holy_a and_o to_o consign_v it_o to_o that_o public_a and_o holy_a repository_n be_v a_o monument_n of_o iniquity_n to_o preserve_v it_o to_o the_o knowledge_n and_o use_n of_o the_o posterity_n i_o hope_v scarce_o any_o sober_a man_n will_v be_v
