other_o country_n for_o the_o same_o reason_n but_o here_o the_o dr._n shift_n and_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o dispute_v about_o the_o authority_n and_o obligation_n of_o humane_a law_n be_v

humane_a law_n and_o divine_a and_o humane_a entail_v be_v of_o a_o very_a different_a nature_n and_o it_o may_v be_v so_o or_o it_o may_v not_o be_v so_o for_o any_o thing_n he_o have_v say_v for_o

other_o kingdom_n be_v as_o much_o bind_v to_o observe_v their_o law_n as_o the_o people_n of_o judah_n be_v they_o it_o plain_o follow_v that_o usurpation_n can_v be_v admit_v against_o a_o legal_a right_n in_o other_o kingdom_n any_o more_o than_o it_o can_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n but_o this_o be_v impertinent_a to_o the_o purpose_n i._n e._n to_o the_o drs._n purpose_n the_o dr._n go_v on_o this_o discover_v the_o fallacy_n of_o what_o he_o add_v we_o do_v not_o oppose_v humane_a law_n to_o god_n authority_n but_o we_o oppose_v law_n that_o be_v make_v by_o god_n authority_n and_o which_o be_v a_o rule_n to_o we_o to_o providence_n which_o be_v no_o rule_n well!_o this_o i_o say_v and_o where_o be_v the_o fallacy_n now_o say_v he_o i_o will_v ask_v the_o author_n whether_o the_o law_n of_o england_n which_o entail_v the_o crown_n be_v not_o humane_a law_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v yes_o and_o moreover_o they_o bound_v in_o conscience_n with_o respect_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n but_o i_o can_v tell_v what_o the_o dr._n will_v call_v they_o whether_o providential_a settlement_n or_o providence_n for_o it_o seem_v they_o have_v no_o influence_n on_o the_o people_n subjection_n otherwise_o than_o as_o they_o be_v providence_n and_o not_o as_o law_n back_v with_o god_n authority_n but_o say_v he_o if_o they_o be_v i_o ask_v whether_o they_o do_v not_o oppose_v these_o humane_a law_n to_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n in_o make_v king_n by_o his_o providence_n i_o answer_v no_o for_o god_n make_v king_n by_o his_o providence_n according_a to_o legal_a right_n but_o it_o be_v another_o question_n whether_o a_o usurper_n possess_v of_o the_o throne_n by_o providence_n be_v a_o king_n of_o god_n make_v or_o be_v make_v a_o king_n by_o god_n authority_n and_o the_o question_n as_o the_o drs._n put_v it_o be_v sophistical_a he_o mix_v and_o confound_v what_o ought_v to_o be_v divide_v whether_o king_n be_v make_v by_o god_n authority_n and_o whether_o they_o be_v make_v by_o providence_n be_v two_o question_n which_o he_o make_v one_o when_o king_n be_v make_v according_a to_o legal_a right_n they_o be_v make_v by_o god_n authority_n for_o the_o law_n have_v god_n authority_n but_o that_o a_o providential_a possession_n of_o the_o throne_n be_v god_n authority_n or_o that_o a_o person_n so_o possess_v be_v make_v a_o king_n by_o god_n authority_n be_v that_o which_o the_o dr._n have_v not_o yet_o and_o i_o suppose_v will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o prove_v the_o dr._n add_v to_o avoid_v this_o he_o will_v not_o call_v they_o humane_a law_n but_o law_n make_v by_o god_n authority_n to_o avoid_v what_o that_o sophistical_a question_n before_o i_o never_o so_o much_o as_o think_v of_o it_o and_o i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o i_o shall_v for_o it_o affect_v nothing_o that_o i_o have_v say_v and_o now_o i_o do_v know_v it_o i_o do_v not_o see_v any_o such_o strength_n in_o it_o as_o will_v need_v any_o art_n or_o pain_n to_o avoid_v it_o but_o to_o save_v he_o further_o trouble_v i_o will_v tell_v he_o all_o the_o design_n i_o have_v in_o say_v the_o law_n be_v make_v by_o god_n authority_n be_v only_o to_o show_v the_o obligation_n of_o humane_a law_n that_o they_o bind_v in_o conscience_n and_o be_v a_o rule_n to_o we_o and_o which_o providence_n be_v not_o and_o therefore_o all_o the_o pain_n the_o dr._n take_v to_o prove_v that_o humane_a law_n be_v not_o divine_a law_n concern_v not_o i_o at_o all_o nor_o the_o question_n he_o dispute_v only_o against_o his_o own_o fancy_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v not_o trouble_v the_o reader_n with_o that_o but_o go_v on_o to_o the_o next_o well!_o say_v he_o but_o these_o law_n be_v our_o rule_n they_o be_v so_o when_o they_o be_v not_o overrule_v by_o a_o superior_a authority_n 44._o p._n 44._o but_o that_o they_o may_v be_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n very_o true_a but_o be_v the_o act_n or_o permission_n of_o providence_n that_o authority_n of_o god_n that_o overrule_v the_o law_n divine_a law_n be_v under_o god_n authority_n as_o well_o as_o humane_a law_n and_o may_v be_v overrule_v by_o he_o when_o he_o please_v but_o that_o be_v no_o proof_n that_o act_n of_o providence_n over-rule_v they_o and_o the_o question_n be_v not_o whether_o god_n authority_n may_v over-rule_v humane_a law_n but_o whether_o by_o mere_a providence_n he_o do_v over-rule_v they_o and_o till_o god_n do_v over-rule_v they_o they_o be_v our_o rule_n and_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n be_v not_o our_o rule_n well_o this_o i_o say_v to_o this_o he_o reply_v if_o by_o this_o he_o mean_v we_o must_v not_o make_v providence_n the_o rule_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a to_o we_o i_o e._n that_o we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o lawful_a for_o we_o to_o do_v what_o ever_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n do_v i_o grant_v it_o for_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a not_o his_o providence_n very_o well_o we_o must_v not_o think_v it_o lawful_a to_o do_v whatsoever_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n do_v but_o may_v we_o think_v it_o lawful_a to_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n do_v as_o it_o be_v mere_o a_o act_n of_o providence_n in_o opposition_n to_o a_o plain_a and_o know_a rule_n allow_v and_o authorise_a by_o god_n himself_o as_o be_v the_o case_n of_o humane_a law_n this_o be_v the_o single_a point_n but_o let_v we_o see_v what_o a_o kind_n of_o rule_n the_o dr._n make_v of_o providence_n but_o say_v he_o if_o he_o mean_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n can_v direct_v our_o duty_n can_v lay_v some_o new_a obligation_n on_o we_o and_o discharge_v the_o old_a one_o this_o be_v manifest_o false_a in_o a_o thousand_o instance_n what_o do_v providence_n do_v this_o as_o a_o rule_n that_o be_v the_o question_n and_o i_o doubt_v to_o make_v it_o out_o that_o we_o must_v have_v a_o new_a notion_n of_o a_o rule_n as_o we_o have_v have_v of_o providence_n and_o a_o through_o settlement_n what_o if_o providence_n direct_v our_o duty_n it_o do_v not_o make_v it_o but_o the_o duty_n be_v to_o be_v measure_v by_o the_o rule_n and_o not_o by_o providence_n what_o if_o providence_n lay_v new_a obligation_n on_o we_o and_o discharge_v the_o old_a one_o the_o obligation_n and_o the_o discharge_n too_o be_v to_o be_v take_v from_o the_o rule_n and_o not_o from_o providence_n and_o we_o be_v not_o to_o practice_v by_o providence_n but_o by_o the_o rule_n and_o if_o providence_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o rule_n it_o direct_v no_o duty_n nor_o lay_v any_o new_a obligation_n nor_o discharge_v the_o old_a one_o except_o it_o be_v quite_o contrary_a to_o the_o drs._n meaning_n if_o a_o man_n by_o providence_n usurp_v another_o man_n possession_n all_o the_o duty_n providence_n direct_v to_o and_o all_o the_o obligation_n it_o lay_v be_v to_o have_v justice_n do_v and_o the_o possession_n restore_v to_o the_o right_a owner_n so_o that_o i_o

a_o good_a reason_n why_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n do_v not_o take_v effect_n against_o legal_a right_n but_o how_o will_v this_o agree_v with_o the_o drs._n doctrine_n and_o argument_n do_v
