a_o settlement_n but_o the_o inference_n even_o with_o respect_n to_o his_o own_o notion_n be_v the_o same_o for_o he_o own_v that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o duty_n to_o obey_v a_o person_n in_o possession_n of_o the_o throne_n till_o he_o be_v thorough_o settle_v in_o his_o sense_n and_o that_o be_v till_o then_o he_o be_v no_o king_n for_o he_o be_v a_o king_n of_o clouts_n who_o no_o

will_v allow_v the_o dispossess_v king_n to_o be_v legal_a king_n he_o wonder_v how_o i_o shall_v fancy_n that_o those_o king_n who_o dispossess_v the_o rightful_a king_n and_o place_n themselves_o in_o their_o throne_n shall_v in_o my_o sense_n be_v legal_a and_o rightful_a king_n too_o and_o yet_o i_o have_v tell_v he_o how_o as_o plain_a as_o i_o can_v speak_v by_o the_o death_n or_o

to_o this_o i_o say_v that_o by_o power_n the_o dr._n understand_v usurp_v as_o well_o as_o lawful_a power_n 12._o postscr_n p._n 12._o and_o his_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o scripture_n make_v no_o distinction_n between_o king_n and_o usurper_n and_o to_o these_o the_o dr._n add_v those_o word_n he_o have_v mention_v in_o his_o case_n of_o allegiance_n between_o king_n who_o we_o must_v and_o who_o we_o must_v not_o obey_v and_o then_o tell_v i_o these_o last_o word_n i_o conceal_v because_o they_o spoil_v all_o my_o argument_n and_o if_o they_o do_v so_o i_o will_v confess_v it_o be_v ill_o do_v to_o conceal_v they_o but_o if_o they_o do_v not_o it_o be_v humoursome_a and_o captious_a to_o complain_v of_o it_o and_o let_v we_o see_v his_o reason_n for_o say_v he_o he_o add_v i_o think_v the_o case_n of_o athaliah_n have_v be_v a_o distinction_n and_o have_v this_o precept_n be_v give_v in_o those_o day_n i_o wonder_v whether_o any_o body_n will_v have_v doubt_v of_o who_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o athaliah_n or_o joash_n very_o well_o this_o be_v my_o argument_n but_o how_o come_v this_o to_o be_v spoil_v by_o those_o last_o word_n that_o i_o can_v tell_v and_o it_o may_v be_v the_o dr._n will_v tell_v i_o in_o his_o next_o but_o at_o present_a he_o reply_n there_o be_v a_o distinction_n between_o athaliah_n and_o joash_n that_o she_o be_v a_o usurper_n and_o he_o a_o rightful_a king_n and_o the_o dr._n make_v a_o distinction_n between_o a_o usurper_n and_o a_o rightful_a king_n with_o respect_n to_o their_o usurpation_n and_o their_o right_n but_o say_v he_o this_o i_o say_v the_o scripture_n make_v no_o distinction_n between_o a_o rightful_a king_n and_o a_o usurper_n with_o respect_n to_o the_o obedience_n of_o subject_n while_o they_o be_v settle_v in_o the_o throne_n no_o what_o do_v he_o think_v of_o set_v up_o joash_n when_o out_o of_o possession_n and_o depose_v athaliah_n when_o in_o possession_n this_o i_o think_v be_v a_o distinction_n between_o a_o rightful_a king_n and_o a_o usurper_n with_o respect_n to_o the_o obedience_n of_o subject_n and_o with_o the_o drs._n leave_n i_o be_o apt_a to_o believe_v that_o kill_v on_o the_o one_o hand_n and_o crown_v and_o allegiance_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n be_v a_o considerable_a distinction_n in_o that_o respect_n what_o follow_v that_o in_o reference_n to_o this_o the_o case_n of_o athaliah_n be_v no_o example_n of_o such_o a_o distinction_n because_o the_o jew_n might_n and_o do_v lawful_o submit_v to_o she_o and_o that_o she_o be_v afterward_o depose_v be_v owe_v to_o the_o divine_a entail_v this_o have_v be_v urge_v and_o answer_v before_o and_o it_o be_v not_o at_o all_o to_o the_o drs._n purpose_n now_o for_o the_o question_n here_o be_v only_o whether_o there_o be_v such_o a_o distinction_n in_o scripture_n with_o respect_n to_o the_o subject_n obedience_n and_o if_o the_o set_n up_o joash_n and_o the_o depose_n and_o slay_v athaliah_n be_v not_o a_o distinction_n there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o a_o distinction_n in_o the_o world_n the_o dr._n add_v have_v this_o law_n be_v give_v to_o the_o jew_n at_o that_o time_n while_o joash_n be_v conceal_v it_o must_v have_v be_v expound_v of_o athaliah_n who_o have_v possession_n of_o the_o throne_n when_o joash_n be_v know_v and_o anoint_a it_o must_v have_v be_v expound_v of_o he_o as_o have_v a_o divine_a right_n to_o the_o throne_n of_o judah_n that_o be_v to_o say_v this_o law_n will_v have_v be_v expound_v of_o the_o usurper_n if_o there_o be_v no_o right_a heir_n or_o none_o know_v but_o when_o the_o right_a heir_n be_v know_v it_o be_v to_o be_v interpret_v of_o he_o and_o not_o of_o the_o usurper_n as_o if_o any_o body_n can_v think_v this_o law_n will_v have_v be_v expound_v of_o joash_n if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v live_v or_o have_v not_o be_v think_v to_o have_v be_v live_v but_o what_o i_o pray_v have_v this_o concealment_n to_o do_v in_o the_o matter_n the_o distinction_n be_v not_o between_o the_o concealment_n of_o the_o one_o and_o the_o possession_n of_o the_o other_o but_o between_o right_a and_o usurpation_n and_o both_o visible_a between_o joash_n out_o of_o possession_n and_o athaliah_n in_o possession_n of_o the_o throne_n and_o here_o be_v the_o question_n of_o who_o ought_v this_o precept_n to_o be_v understand_v of_o athaliah_n or_o joash_n if_o of_o athaliah_n than_o she_o be_v ordain_v of_o god_n and_o to_o resist_v she_o have_v be_v to_o receive_v damnation_n which_o be_v plain_o false_a for_o she_o be_v resist_v and_o kill_v and_o both_o justify_v beside_o if_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o she_o than_o it_o can_v not_o be_v understand_v of_o joash_n for_o it_o can_v be_v interpret_v of_o two_o competitor_n but_o if_o it_o must_v be_v understand_v of_o joash_n than_o a_o rightful_a prince_n out_o of_o possession_n be_v the_o high_a power_n in_o the_o sense_n of_o this_o text_n and_o a_o usurper_n in_o possession_n be_v not_o and_o then_o the_o whole_a reason_n of_o the_o drs._n argument_n fail_v than_o the_o power_n that_o be_v may_v be_v the_o rightful_a power_n out_o of_o possession_n in_o the_o intention_n and_o according_a to_o the_o direction_n of_o that_o text._n and_o then_o there_o be_v a_o distinction_n in_o scripture_n between_o king_n who_o we_o must_v obey_v and_o usurper_n the_o dr._n call_v they_o king_n who_o we_o must_v not_o obey_v which_o be_v the_o thing_n to_o be_v prove_v i_o proceed_v but_o say_v the_o dr._n if_o the_o apostle_n have_v intend_v such_o a_o distinction_n he_o ought_v to_o have_v say_v it_o in_o express_a word_n and_o why_o so_o i_o pray_v the_o dr._n reply_n i_o give_v he_o a_o reason_n for_o it_o which_o he_o be_v please_v to_o conceal_v why_o shall_v we_o think_v the_o apostle_n here_o intend_v a_o distinction_n unknown_a in_o scripture_n but_o sure_o i_o do_v not_o conceal_v this_o for_o i_o have_v speak_v to_o it_o just_o before_o as_o much_o as_o i_o think_v needful_a and_o i_o do_v not_o see_v any_o reason_n to_o repeat_v it_o again_o the_o dr._n add_v he_o say_v have_v there_o be_v any_o such_o rule_n before_o give_v to_o submit_v to_o lawful_a power_n but_o not_o to_o submit_v to_o usurper_n there_o have_v be_v some_o pretence_n of_o understanding_n st._n paul_n all_o power_n of_o all_o legal_a power_n but_o there_o be_v nothing_o like_o this_o any_o where_o else_o in_o scripture_n if_o he_o have_v intend_v any_o such_o distinction_n he_o ought_v to_o have_v say_v it_o in_o express_a word_n or_o else_o no_o body_n can_v reasonable_o have_v understand_v he_o to_o intend_v this_o precept_n of_o subjection_n to_o the_o high_a power_n only_o of_o power_n that_o have_v a_o legal_a right_n now_o i_o can_v tell_v why_o the_o dr._n shall_v say_v i_o conceal_v this_o for_o i_o answer_v it_o and_o that_o i_o think_v be_v not_o conceal_v it_o i_o have_v say_v be_v there_o not_o general_a rule_n about_o right_a and_o wrong_n which_o extend_v to_o all_o case_n and_o person_n and_o if_o they_o extend_v to_o all_o case_n and_o person_n than_o there_o be_v rule_n in_o

have_v not_o the_o people_n consent_n and_o as_o he_o say_v why_o shall_v we_o think_v the_o apostle_n here_o intend_v a_o distinction_n unknown_a in_o scripture_n 20._o case_n of_o all._n p._n 20._o the_o doctor_n to_o prove_v his_o exposition_n argue_v thus_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v all_o power_n be_v of_o god_n there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o confine_v this_o to_o all_o legal_a power_n unless_o it_o be_v evident_o the_o doctrine_n of_o scripture_n that_o usurp_v power_n be_v not_o of_o god_n which_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v true_a that_o the_o contrary_n be_v evident_a and_o this_o be_v a_o reason_n direct_o against_o all_o that_o he_o say_v here_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v all_o power_n be_v of_o god_n there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o confine_v this_o to_o all_o power_n consent_v to_o by_o the_o people_n unless_o it_o be_v evident_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o scripture_n that_o power_n without_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n be_v not_o of_o god_n which_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v true_a that_o the_o contrary_n be_v evident_a and_o the_o consequence_n be_v that_o this_o precept_n be_v to_o be_v interpret_v of_o all_o usurper_n or_o of_o none_o and_o the_o dr._n must_v interpret_v it_o of_o the_o rump_n and_o cromwell_n or_o discharge_v his_o argument_n as_o insufficient_a and_o let_v the_o dr._n at_o his_o leisure_n show_v i_o where_o in_o scripture_n all_o power_n and_o the_o present_a power_n and_o the_o obedience_n to_o they_o be_v limit_v to_o a_o national_a consent_n or_o where_o there_o be_v such_o a_o distinction_n that_o the_o high_a power_n by_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n ought_v to_o be_v obey_v and_o the_o high_a power_n without_o their_o consent_n may_v not_o if_o he_o will_v not_o undertake_v it_o all_o his_o argument_n from_o a_o national_a consent_n signify_v nothing_o if_o he_o will_v he_o must_v renounce_v with_o a_o witness_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v this_o business_n of_o the_o people_n consent_n seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v put_v in_o for_o no_o other_o end_n but_o to_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o a_o objection_n which_o the_o dr._n foresee_v will_v open_v wide_a upon_o he_o but_o do_v not_o at_o all_o concern_v his_o hypothesis_n which_o stand_v or_o fall_v without_o any_o manner_n of_o relation_n to_o it_o for_o how_o come_v the_o people_n to_o have_v any_o share_n in_o god_n providence_n in_o set_v up_o king_n or_o what_o have_v they_o to_o do_v with_o god_n authority_n or_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o their_o consent_n make_v it_o a_o duty_n to_o obey_v god_n authority_n and_o their_o dissent_n make_v it_o no_o duty_n those_o man_n indeed_o that_o say_v that_o all_o power_n be_v original_o in_o the_o people_n and_o that_o they_o may_v resume_v it_o and_o dispose_v it_o as_o they_o please_v for_o they_o to_o say_v that_o the_o consent_n of_o a_o people_n settle_v a_o government_n or_o make_v it_o be_v agreeable_a enough_o to_o their_o principle_n and_o the_o people_n derive_v to_o the_o person_n govern_v the_o authority_n that_o be_v original_o in_o themselves_o but_o for_o they_o that_o maintain_v it_o as_o a_o principle_n that_o all_o sovereign_a authority_n be_v of_o god_n to_o talk_v of_o the_o people_n consent_n as_o necessary_a to_o make_v obedience_n a_o duty_n to_o that_o authority_n be_v a_o contradiction_n and_o it_o be_v a_o fine_a doctrine_n to_o say_v that_o the_o authority_n be_v derive_v from_o god_n but_o the_o obedience_n to_o it_o be_v derive_v from_o the_o people_n own_o consent_n and_o this_o it_o seem_v be_v the_o case_n here_o for_o the_o dr._n tell_v we_o with_o respect_n to_o those_o usurpation_n that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o submit_v to_o they_o though_o they_o be_v not_o bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o do_v it_o now_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o they_o to_o submit_v and_o become_v subject_n to_o those_o usurpation_n than_o they_o have_v god_n authority_n for_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o become_v subject_n to_o person_n who_o have_v not_o god_n authority_n if_o they_o be_v not_o bind_v in_o conscience_n than_o their_o obedience_n to_o god_n authority_n depend_v pure_o upon_o their_o own_o

either_o that_o usurper_n have_v not_o god_n authority_n or_o if_o they_o have_v than_o the_o people_n consent_n be_v not_o necessary_a to_o make_v obedience_n a_o duty_n if_o the_o first_o than_o
