no_o act_n no_o complot_v for_o this_o we_o have_v david_n example_n he_o will_v not_o avenge_v himself_o upon_o saul_n when_o he_o have_v he_o at_o advantage_n etc._n advantage_n 1_o sam._n 26._o

best_a for_o a_o absolute_a monarchy_n do_v easy_o degenerate_a into_o a_o tyranny_n but_o so_o can_v a_o mix_v monarchy_n because_o the_o people_n in_o their_o trustee_n have_v some_o real_a and_o appendent_a power_n and_o that_o this_o be_v a_o mix_a monarchy_n it_o appear_v in_o this_o that_o though_o the_o late_a king_n and_o his_o predecessor_n be_v to_o keep_v and_o defend_v the_o law_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o the_o sole_a maker_n of_o the_o law_n they_o can_v neither_o make_v new_a law_n nor_o repeal_v the_o old_a of_o themselves_o that_o be_v by_o their_o absolute_a and_o sole_a

the_o subject_a the_o king_n to_o ratify_v and_o confirm_v those_o law_n for_o the_o good_a of_o his_o people_n to_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n this_o belong_v as_o be_v evident_a in_o all_o former_a parliament_n by_o the_o disannul_n of_o patent_n and_o the_o punish_a monopolist_n which_o have_v be_v burdensome_a and_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o commonwealth_n and_o if_o all_o power_n in_o these_o thing_n have_v be_v in_o the_o king_n then_o have_v he_o be_v absolute_a of_o himself_o and_o by_o consequent_a there_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v no_o resistance_n but_o passive_a obedience_n or_o a_o submission_n to_o punishment_n where_o active_a obedience_n can_v not_o with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n be_v yield_v for_o this_o we_o have_v the_o case_n of_o the_o three_o child_n nebuchaddezzar_n command_n be_v unlawful_a yet_o they_o make_v no_o resistance_n but_o submit_v themselves_o to_o the_o censure_n and_o sentence_n of_o the_o king_n 16_o king_n dan._n 3._o 16_o now_o

ordinance_n of_o the_o power_n the_o fault_n i_o say_v be_v principal_o in_o the_o people_n and_o that_o in_o these_o two_o regard_n 1._o the_o first_o be_v the_o vanity_n and_o instability_n of_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o people_n who_o fall_v into_o strange_a miscarriage_n they_o be_v infect_v with_o the_o poison_n of_o ungrounded_a tenet_n which_o they_o uphold_v with_o a_o strong_a hand_n

take_v up_o with_o urgent_a and_o emergent_a occurrence_n namely_o 1_o first_o the_o secure_n of_o the_o new_a mould_v commonwealth_n in_o this_o time_n of_o so_o many_o distraction_n and_o

a_o brotherly_a correspondency_n both_o with_o our_o fellow_n covenanteer_n of_o the_o scottish_a nation_n and_o with_o other_o state_n and_o church_n abroad_o and_o what_o retard_v the_o new_a fall_v difference_n between_o the_o scot_n and_o ourselves_o may_v occasion_n i_o can_v foretell_v the_o second_o be_v the_o want_n of_o obedience_n to_o former_a ordinance_n of_o the_o power_n for_o have_v the_o prebyteriall_a government_n set_v forth_o by_o ordinance_n of_o the_o power_n find_v its_o wish_a entertainment_n and_o with_o that_o ready_a compliance_n as_o be_v expect_v a_o bless_a effect_n for_o suppress_v both_o error_n and_o enormity_n have_v second_v those_o ordinance_n long_o ere_o this_o therefore_o if_o we_o search_v into_o the_o cause_n of_o these_o our_o confusion_n and_o distemper_n we_o shall_v find_v they_o to_o flow_v principal_o from_o these_o two_o spring_n 1._o first_o the_o vanity_n of_o man_n mind_n be_v neither_o zealous_a for_o nor_o constant_a to_o the_o truth_n 2._o again_o a_o lawless_a liberty_n which_o many_o take_v to_o themselves_o whereby_o they_o have_v reject_v a_o tender_v government_n and_o this_o late_a be_v 1._o partly_o from_o the_o ignorance_n of_o those_o that_o neither_o know_v nor_o will_v own_o the_o excellency_n of_o a_o presbytery_n both_o for_o restrain_v the_o extravagancy_n of_o the_o exorbitant_a and_o for_o the_o encouragement_n of_o the_o godly_a party_n 2._o partly_o from_o the_o dislike_n of_o those_o that_o be_v scandalous_a who_o be_v as_o we_o say_v tooth_n and_o nail_n against_o all_o mean_n of_o restraint_n which_o will_v have_v be_v urgent_a and_o effectual_a under_o that_o kind_n of_o government_n 3._o and_o partly_o from_o the_o madness_n and_o malice_n of_o those_o that_o be_v infect_v with_o antinomian_n anabaptisticall_a and_o other_o erroneous_a principle_n these_o cry_v up_o i_o know_v not_o what_o kind_n of_o lawless_a liberty_n and_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o be_v bring_v under_o any_o limit_v and_o restrain_v government_n put_v all_o these_o together_o and_o you_o have_v the_o true_a cause_n and_o now_o to_o fly_v upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o power_n this_o be_v a_o fallacy_n that_o be_v when_o that_o that_o be_v not_o the_o cause_n be_v put_v for_o the_o cause_n and_o to_o speak_v plain_a english_a it_o be_v a_o trick_n of_o the_o devil_n to_o hold_v man_n the_o fast_o in_o their_o ignorance_n error_n and_o extravagancy_n and_o because_o there_o be_v so_o much_o grumble_a at_o the_o present_a state_n of_o the_o church_n and_o commonwealth_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o covenant_n i_o shall_v therefore_o take_v liberty_n to_o take_v the_o covenant_n in_o piece_n and_o to_o take_v a_o view_n of_o all_o the_o particular_n in_o it_o and_o so_o it_o will_v

of_o the_o covenant_n be_v these_o six_o as_o they_o follow_v now_o in_o order_n 1._o the_o first_o be_v reformation_n of_o religion_n in_o worship_n discipline_n and_o government_n according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o example_n of_o the_o best_a reform_a church_n etc._n etc._n but_o the_o most_o and_o they_o that_o grumble_v most_o cry_v all_o reformation_n they_o extol_v prelacy_n they_o will_v have_v their_o old_a service_n their_o old_a ceremony_n 2._o second_o the_o extirpation_n of_o popery_n prelacy_n superstition_n heresy_n scism_n profaneness_n and_o whatsoever_o shall_v be_v find_v to_o be_v contrary_a to_o sound_v doctrine_n and_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n etc._n etc._n but_o who_o almost_o regard_v sound_a doctrine_n and_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n i_o be_o sure_a that_o schism_n and_o profaneness_n abound_v more_o now_o then_o in_o former_a time_n 3._o the_o three_o be_v with_o realty_n sincerity_n and_o constancy_n with_o our_o life_n and_o estate_n mutual_o to_o preserve_v the_o right_n and_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n the_o liberty_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o to_o preserve_v the_o king_n majesty_n person_n and_o

in_o no_o grace_n for_o they_o that_o grumble_v most_o do_v contemn_v the_o parliament_n and_o condemn_v all_o parliamentary_a proceed_n their_o proceed_n against_o the_o late_a king_n fill_v their_o
