Solomon

Though
it
be
not
worth
my
while
to
ransack
it
in
every
part
of
it
,
yet
I
do
not
intend
to
omit
any
thing
very
considerable
;
and
I
will
use
my
best
endeavour
not
to
mistake
your
Sense
,
Lett.
p.
When
I
told
you
nothing
but
truth
,
that
the
Present
State
is
worse
than
a
Deluge
of
Popery
,
for
that
now
the
Daughter
of
Sion
is
become
an
Harlot
,
the
generailty
of
her
Children
,
Apostate
and
Vn-churched
,
and
that
the
Faith
and
Communion
is
with
the
few
,
You
question
,
Whether
Submission
to
the
Present
Constitution
.
can
be
proved
a
Sin
?
As
if
breaking
Lawful
,
and
taking
Vnlawful
Oaths
,
withholding
ones
Right
and
giving
it
to
another
,
the
overthrowing
the
constitution
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
violating
the
Laws
of
God
,
were
no
Sin
.
Then
you
further
say
,
That
admit
it
to
be
a
crying
Sin
;
every
such
Sin
,
doth
not
unchurch
single
Persons
or
Societies
:
But
yet
however
,
you
ought
to
Repent
,
and
not
persevere
in
your
Sin
;
since
it
is
one
of
those
Sins
that
shuts
out
of
the
true
Chuch
of
God
:
For
if
it
were
necessary
,
I
could
prove
,
that
its
Principles
destroy
the
Churches
Fundamentals
and
Structure
;
if
such
Principles
which
destroy
all
Morals
,
and
all
Faith
and
Truth
among
men
,
can
be
said
to
do
so
;
by
which
men
may
exclude
themselves
,
as
well
as
be
thrown
out
by
others
,
without
an
Authentick
Act
of
an
Ecclesiastick
Judicatory
;
and
your
instance
in
the
Roman
Church
is
Insignificant
,
for
we
do
not
communicate
with
it
;
but
that
of
the
Eastern
Churches
is
still
less
to
the
purpose
;
for
I
am
not
satisfied
,
that
either
they
have
condemned
us
,
or
we
them
,
as
Schismaticks
;
and
Dr.
was
desired
by
some
of
the
Greek
Clergy
,
to
Communicate
and
Minister
among
them
,
neither
did
he
refuse
it
.
i.
e.

In
these
alledged
State-deprivations
of
the
High-Priests
,
either
of
or
after
they
came
under
subjection
,
of
the
Chief
Priests
by
the
Procurators
,
there
was
only
a
Change
of
Persons
,
but
matters
of
Religion
went
on
every
thing
the
same
,
in
Doctrines
,
Practices
,
Prayers
,
Sacrifices
and
Services
of
the
Temple
,
and
the
Synagogues
;
and
when
these
are
not
corrupted
,
Gods
▪
faithful
Ministers
may
yield
their
personal
claims
to
State-Deprivations
,
to
secure
Protection
,
and
Civil
Benefits
to
the
Church
.
This
also
clears
the
instance
of
the
Submission
of
the
on
the
frequent
Deprivations
of
their
Patriarchs
by
the
Governors
.
The
benefits
of
Incorporation
,
which
they
propose
to
secure
thereby
,
are
not
the
most
tempting
,
lying
not
so
much
in
being
priviledged
and
beneficed
by
the
State
,
as
in
not
being
persecuted
,
but
tolerated
under
it
.
And
their
submission
for
keeping
on
this
State-benefit
,
such
as
it
is
,
is
not
without
detriment
to
the
Church
,
(
tho'
their
breaking
with
the
State
they
fear
would
be
more
detrimental
)
the
making
their
new
Advancements
for
Mony
to
be
levied
on
the
Church
by
the
new
Patriarch
,
to
the
countenance
and
growth
of
great
Corruption
,
and
to
the
bringing
of
the
Church
in
debt
.
But
as
to
the
course
of
Religious
Ministrations
,
they
are
the
same
under
both
Patriarchs
,
in
the
same
Doctrines
of
Faith
and
Manners
,
Prayers
and
Publick
Offices
.

,

a
blemish
not
to
be
endured
in
any
Church
,
whatsoever
it
incurs
for
the
Opposition
.
For
I
do
not
know
that
we
want
an
Ecclesiastical
Judge
.
Our
Metropolitan
,
with
his
Suffragans
,
are
a
sufficient
and
proper
Judge
;
And
if
they
have
not
(
which
there
may
be
great
Reason
to
forbear
)
yet
their
Judgments
are
sufficiently
declared
Well
,
However
I
told
you
,
that
there
is
danger
in
your
Communion
;
and
I
should
have
added
,
that
the
sin
is
unavoidable
in
it
,
because
the
Secession
was
on
your
side
from
us
and
Righteousness
,
we
still
continuing
as
we
were
:
but
see
I
pray
,
what
answer
you
made
me
hereupon
,
that
I
may
take
off
the
vizor
,
and
lay
open
your
Hypocrisie
.
You
say
,
that
though
our
Church
Justly
and
Absolutely
rejects
the
Roman
Monarchy
,
yet
she
will
not
refuse
any
Lawful
Communion
,
or
correspondence
with
it
in
any
good
Ecclesiastical
Negotiations
,
consistent
with
Integrity
;
saving
still
a
Publick
Remonstrance
to
all
her
Pollutions
.
What
can
be
the
meaning
of
this
,
but
that
your
Church
is
ready
and
willing
to
joyn
in
Communion
with
the
Church
of
as
many
of
your
Brethren
take
the
Oath
,
with
a
Declaration
.
—
This
,
and
no
other
can
be
your
meaning
,
else
your
Argument
and
Parallel
is
sensless
and
insignificant
:
for
thus
it
follows
,
so
should
you
communicate
with
us
in
all
that
is
Lawful
:
Now
it
is
actual
Communion
in
all
publick
Offices
and
Worship
,
which
you
require
from
us
,
and
the
reason
you
give
,
why
we
should
pay
it
,
is
in
the
words
before
cited
,
the
sence
of
which
must
be
,
that
your
Church
is
ready
with
a
Remonstrance
to
afford
the
same
Communion
to
the
Church
of
that
is
,
Actual
Communion
in
Publick
Worship
.
So
with
an
insignificant
Remonstrance
,
you
can
go
to
Mass
,
and
are
willing
to
do
it
.
I
am
not
satisfied
,
that
you
will
allow
our
Deprivation
to
be
a
Persecution
,
only
on
supposition
,
that
it
be
for
adherence
to
the
Doctrines
of
the
Church
,
or
the
Laws
of
God
.
What
if
neither
the
Laws
of
God
nor
the
Church
had
been
concerned
,
and
they
had
had
only
occasion
to
stand
to
the
Laws
and
Constitutions
of
the
Land
,
which
forbid
force
against
,
and
Deposition
of
Kings
,
and
exclusion
of
the
Heir
?
I
think
this
had
been
no
ill
Cause
,
I
pray
,
who
are
they
that
ought
to
bring
this
clear
proof
?
I
have
heard
some
say
,
that
it
is
an
Axiom
in
Law
,
that
they
who
expect
the
benefit
,
ought
to
make
the
Proof
:
Now
you
get
all
into
your
hands
,
and
would
you
give
no
Reason
for
it
?
And
yet
it
would
be
but
to
little
purpose
to
prove
to
a
Thief
,
that
he
has
stolen
my
Goods
.
An
untainted
Loyalty
you
approve
,
while
the
Obligation
lasts
,
and
we
desire
no
more
.
But
then
you
think
the
Obligation
may
cease
,
not
only
by
Death
,
or
Resignation
,
but
also
by
Cession
:
Nor
do
I
think
it
worth
while
to
dispute
this
with
you
,
provided
it
be
real
,
not
forced
,
not
falsly
imputed
.
For
so
any
man
that
is
driven
out
of
his
House
,
or
takes
a
Journey
from
Home
,
may
be
interpreted
to
have
quitted
his
Estate
by
Cession
.
But
when
Cession
is
real
,
it
can
only
affect
the
Party
who
makes
it
,
and
ought
to
be
no
injury
to
the
next
Heir
.
—
But
has
that
person
made
a
Cession
,
who
,
tho'
to
preserve
his
Life
,
he
fly
from
fraud
and
irresistible
force
,
yet
all
the
while
claims
his
right
,
calls
on
all
persons
to
do
him
justice
,
and
useth
all
honest
means
that
may
be
to
recover
his
Right
.
This
was
,
say
you
,
such
a
Cession
,
that
the
Estates
in
Convention
judged
it
a
virtual
Abdication
of
the
Sovereignty
;
and
of
My
Words
are
this
,
you
add
,
they
were
the
most
Competent
,
Authentick
,
and
Final
Judges
.
And
this
,
you
tell
us
,
Ibid.
My
Words
are
we
are
to
submit
to
,
because
the
Kingdom
hath
ratified
those
proceedings
in
a
second
Parliament
.
—
But
Competent
they
could
not
be
,
who
,
for
the
prevailing
part
of
them
,
were
,
either
actually
in
the
Conspiracy
against
him
,
or
joyned
with
the
Conspirators
,
and
refused
so
much
as
to
read
his
Letters
,
or
hear
any
Message
from
him
.
Nor
could
they
be
Authentick
Judges
,
who
had
no
Law
to
authorize
them
,
or
their
proceedings
.
Nor
did
I
ever
hear
,
that
the
natural
Subjects
of
a
Sovereign
Monarch
could
be
his
Authentick
Judges
,
unless
from
President
the
Regicides
,
and
their
Adherents
.
And
if
upon
this
score
you
will
have
the
Proceedings
valid
against
the
Son
,
you
must
also
justifie
the
Barbarous
Murther
of
the
Father
.
And
then
they
could
not
be
final
Judges
,
because
being
neither
Competent
nor
Authentick
,
they
were
no
proper
Judges
at
all
.
Nor
doth
it
at
all
help
the
matter
,
that
you
call
these
your
Judges
the
Estates
;
and
further
,
to
countenance
the
matter
,
place
them
in
Convention
.
For
how
are
they
Estates
,
but
with
respect
to
the
King
,
and
Constitution
?
Which
if
they
overthrow
,
what
becomes
of
their
Estateships
?
It
is
the
King
made
them
such
,
and
they
are
so
in
subordination
to
him
.
Nor
is
their
Convention
any
thing
without
him
;
they
cannot
convene
without
his
Writ
.
You
may
remember
,
that
your
Oracle
Dr.
tells
you
,
that
a
single
Defect
makes
an
essential
nullity
.
So
they
must
act
under
him
;
and
all
they
resolve
is
nothing
without
his
assent
:
And
by
our
Law
,
if
they
act
against
him
,
they
are
Rebels
,
and
so
unfit
for
Competent
,
Authentick
and
Final
Judges
.
That
when
a
King
is
fled
from
his
Throne
into
foreign
Dominions
,
and
doth
not
exert
any
Royal
Power
,
or
presence
to
his
People
,
the
Estates
of
this
Land
are
the
Supreme
Domestick
Judges
upon
the
Tenure
of
the
Sovereignty
,
which
is
not
to
make
them
Judges
of
the
Kings
Person
,
but
in
the
want
of
his
Person
,
of
the
State
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
the
Rights
of
the
Nation
in
Order
to
Settlement
?
That
your
second
Parliament
hath
no
more
Authority
than
your
transubstantiating
Convention
,
that
riotous
Assembly
,
(
all
whose
Acts
were
contrary
to
Law
,
and
censurable
by
Law
)
and
so
cannot
confirm
them
:
I
will
examin
your
grave
Position
,
That
when
a
King
is
fled
from
his
Throne
into
foreign
Dominions
,
or
doth
not
exert
any
Royal
Power
,
or
Presence
to
his
People
,
the
Estates
of
this
Land
are
the
Supream
Domestick
Judges
upon
the
Tenure
of
the
Sovereignty
.
—
But
am
I
bound
to
follow
their
Judgment
against
manifest
Right
,
and
my
known
Duty
?
We
are
the
more
to
submit
to
the
proceedings
of
the
Convention
and
first
Parliament
,
since
the
Kingdom
hath
ratified
their
proceedings
in
a
second
,
viz.
a
malicious
insinuation
against
your
suffering
King
,
as
if
he
ran
away
thro'
wantonness
,
and
would
have
nothing
to
do
with
us
.
For
King
must
needs
go
That
he
was
as
much
driven
from
was
driven
to
Grass
,
and
he
claimed
as
he
fled
by
the
That
no
advantage
could
be
taken
of
a
Kings
withdrawing
himself
from
the
Government
,
(
if
it
had
been
voluntary
,
as
all
the
World
knows
it
was
not
)
without
a
Summons
sent
after
him
to
return
again
in
forty
days
.
You
know
he
exerts
all
the
power
he
can
,
that
he
doth
not
more
is
not
his
fault
,
but
yours
;
you
may
have
both
his
Power
and
Presence
among
you
too
,
if
you
please
.
But
will
you
contrary
to
your
Duty
and
Oaths
keep
him
out
by
force
of
Arms
,
and
then
plead
your
own
wickedness
in
your
Defence
?
That
we
have
an
Act
of
Parliament
,
which
declares
the
Realm
to
have
been
Sovereign
during
that
time
,
by
ordering
all
Indictments
,
from
the
time
of
K.
s
withdrawing

till
the
to
run
in
their
Name
French
King
by
what
Authority
was
that
Free
Parliament
called
,
or
sate
,
that
voted
in
King
the
Second
?
Sir
,
if
you
please
,
let
another
be
called
,
and
vote
in
King
the
Second
.
When
things
are
out
of
Order
,
and
good
men
set
them
to
Rights
again
,
I
do
not
think
any
man
will
oppose
it
upon
the
score
of
some
small
niceties
;
but
when
subjects
rebel
against
their
Prince
,
and
drive
him
away
,
and
make
that
the
ground
of
their
going
on
,
and
doing
farther
wickedness
,
I
cannot
understand
the
Authority
of
this
.
There
is
certainly
in
every
man
an
innate
natural
Power
and
Authority
to
wish
well
to
,
and
vote
for
Right
.
By
virtue
of
this
,
when
things
were
in
confusion
,
the
Subjects
of
King
the
Second
,
returning
to
their
Wits
and
Allegiance
,
send
a
convenient
number
to
act
for
the
whole
,
who
recall
their
rightful
King
,
and
if
you
should
do
so
likewise
,
I
should
not
be
very
quarrelsom
with
you
.
But
whatever
name
they
might
give
it
,
to
put
a
better
gloss
upon
the
thing
,
they
were
no
Parliament
,
till
King
made
them
so
;
for
he
,
their
lawful
King
,
by
an
Act
in
Legal
Parliament
,
might
stamp
on
them
that
Character
and
give
them
that
Authority
,
and
Force
,
which
they
had
not
before
;
and
thus
several
of
their
Acts
might
become
Laws
by
virtue
of
that
after
Ratification
,
not
by
any
force
of
their
own
.
But
as
for
calling
back
the
King
,
that
was
not
making
any
new
Law
,
but
enforcing
the
old
,
and
was
not
so
much
an
Act
of
Authority
,
as
Obedience
and
Duty
.

you
do

I

is

with
your

I

it
no
such
peevishness
to
act
by
his

in
his
absence

but
that
it
is
a
thing
which
(
if
it
can
be

ought

be
done

another

At
last
you
say
,
the
Estates
of
any
Nation
being
invited
by
a
victorious
and
unresisted
Power
,
may
come
together
,
and
treat
with
him
that
thus
calls
them
,
tho'
he
hath
no
antecedent
Authority
(
strictly
taken
)
to
call
them
.
Here
is
a
pretty
fetch
in
the
word
[
unresisted
Power
;
]
for
irresistible
you
knew
it
was
not
;
and
if
it
was
unresisted
,
whose
fault
was
that
?
May
they
refuse
to
resist
an
invading
Power
,
when
they
are
able
?
And
may
they
make
that
disobedience
the
reason
of
their
Compliance
with
him
,
and
casting
off
their
own
Sovereign
?
But
if
,
without
dawbing
,
you
had
put
the
Case
as
it
was
,
it
ought
to
run
thus
;
The
Estates
of
any
Nation
,
or
the
natural
Subjects
of
any
Sovereign
Prince
may
combine
with
,
and
invite
in
a
foreign
Prince
,
and
when
he
comes
,
tho'
with
a
contemptible
force
,
they
may
forsake
their
lawful
Prince
;
and
then
by
their
Treachery
having
left
him
helpless
,
and
hopeless
,
may
treat
with
a
Foreigner
,
drive
away
their
own
King
,
give
his
Crown
to
the
Foreigner
,
and
maintain
it
with
their
Swords
and
Purses
,
without
which
he
could
not
keep
his
illgotten
Goods
.
That
you
set
up
new
Principles
,
which
the
Church
of
hath
always
declared
to
be
erroncous
,
and
grounds
of
Rebellion
you
set
up
the
Parliament
above
the
King
,
and
that
we
must
take
our
measures
of
obedience
only
from
the
Parliament
,
to
whose
Judgment
,
say
you
,
in
all
Civils
,
all
Subjects
must
submit
.
And
upon
this
you
Ground
all
your
Superstructure
,
as
that
King
Tenure
has
been
publickly
judged
by
this
Natition
to
be
extinct
and
that
this
Nation
hath
justified
King
's
Cause
,
which
is
to
conclude
upon
us
.
Beyond
this
you
allow
no
no
man
to
look
,
or
enquire
;
The
whole
Body
of
the
Church
are
to
be
taught
by
the
Parliament
,
and
to
have
an
implicit
faith
in
them
against
the
King
in
all
Cases
whatsoever
,
so
that
the
Churches
Loyalty
is
to
follow
the
Civil
Judgment
concerning
the
Object
of
our
Allegiance
,
and
the
Tenure
of
Sovereignty
.
And
by
this
Rule
,
if
a
Parliament
change
a
King
every
day
,
the
Church
is
bound
to
swear
to
every
one
;
the
Parliament
can
solve
their
Oaths
.
But
there
was
a
time
,
when
the
Church
thought
it
their
Duty
to
be
Teachers
,
and
particularly
as
to
Loyalty
,
as
being
a
principal
part
of
Religion
,
and
even
[
against
a
Parliament
and
their
Doctrine
was
owned
by
all
true
Sons
]
of
the
Church
of
I
mean
the
Old
Church
of
in
the
Reign
of
King
This
was
their
Doctrine
and
Practice
,
and
generally
of
the
whole
Church
of
ever
since
the
Reformation
,
as
is
plain
in
her
Homilies
,
Articles
and
Canons
,
And
you
do
not
attempt
to
disprove
these
,
but
only
assert
the
contrary
,
and
so
leave
it
as
a
thing
settled
,
and
sure
.
That
the
Churches
Loyalty
,
as
to
the
Object
,
is
to
be
guided
by
the
true
Constitution
of
the
State
,
I
deny
not
;
but
I
shall
never
yield
,
what
you
would
thence
slur
upon
us
,
that
it
is
to
follow
every
.
Civil
Judgment
,
much
less
the
Vncivil
Judgment
of
any
Sett
of
Conspirators
,
and
Traitors
,
into
whose
hand
you
so
liberally
and
piously
dispose
it
.
are
things
not
seen
That
the
general
and
ordinary
Rule
of
Succession
to
this
Crown
is
Hereditary
,
but
in
extraordinary
Interruptions
and
Convulsions
of
State
against
the
ordinary
Course
,
our
Laws
and
Constitutions
do
allow
the
Estates
such
a
King
,
as
can
be
actually
had
for
the
time
being
,
till
the
ordinary
Rule
can
be
fairly
recovered
.
Now
if
a
man
were
to
speak
this
in
plain
English
,
it
would
be
thus
;
By
our
Laws
and
Constitutions
the
Crown
is
Hereditary
;
but
if
any
Vsurper
,
or
Traytor
will
not
suffer
it
to
be
so
,
but
puts
by
the
Right
Heir
,
and
gets
possession
himself
,
the
Laws
and
Constitutions
allow
him
to
be
King
;
yes
marry
,
and
a
Lawful
King
too
the
Crown
goes
in
a
Lineal
Succession
,
while
people
are
peaceable
and
Obedient
;
but
if
they
be
troublesome
and
rebellious
,
it
is
catch
as
catch
can
,
and
he
had
Right
and
Law
on
his
side
,
who
gets
Possession
,
and
so
will
another
,
and
another
without
end
,
who
can
successively
wrest
the
Possession
from
those
,
who
had
the
Right
whilst
they
could
keep
Possession
.
Did
ever
any
Body
hear
of
such
a
Constitution
as
this
?
Or
was
any
thing
better
fitted
to
produce
eternal
Confusions
?
Certainly
you
have
a
mind
to
persuade
us
,
that
our
Constitutions
were
made
by
the
Wise
Men
of
or
the
Wiser
Men
of
Psalmist
,
What
shall
be
done
unto
thee
thou
false
Tongue
?
Mighty
and
sharp
Arrows
,
with
hot
burning
Coals
.
And
even
an
unjust
Potentate
,
tho'
he
cannot
according
to
Legal
Justice
out
a
King
,
against
whom
he
hath
no
Legal
Cause
,
or
right
of
War
,
yet
if
he
doth
do
so
,
and
the
subject
People
cannot
help
it
,
and
he
enforce
himself
on
the
People
for
a
new
King
,
our
Laws
in
this
concur
with
the
Laws
and
Practice
of
all
Nations
,
in
allowing
our
Estates
to
determine
for
us
in
such
Exigencies
,
—
and
the
sin
shall
lie
only
on
the
injurious
,
and
not
on
them
that
submitted
to
an
inevitable
fate
of
things
;
and
again
,
Wars
and
victories
are
many
times
unjust
,
yet
they
,
that
suffer
the
wrong
,
lawfully
submit
to
the
unlawful
and
injurious
demand
of
Submission
,
as
in
Piracies
,
and
other
like
Tyrannies
.
At
last
you
are
willing
to
qualifie
the
matter
,
and
to
suffer
this
only
,
till
the
ordinary
Rule
can
be
fairly
recovered
.
If
this
be
so
,
why
is
it
not
recovered
?
Sure
you
will
not
plead
that
in
justification
of
a
People
,
which
is
notoriously
their
Fault
,
and
such
a
Fault
,
as
is
in
their
Power
to
mend
,
when
they
please
.
Let
them
unanimosly
,
as
they
ought
,
return
to
their
Duty
and
Loyalty
,
and
the
thing
will
do
it self
,
and
without
any
great
pains
,
trouble
or
danger
.

But
I
see
you
relapse
again
,
and
become
a
zealous
Advocate
for
your
extraordinary
Kings
,
in
whose
behalf
you
plead
Acts
of
Parliament
made
by
Extra-lineal
Kings
,
which
were
confirmed
(
submitted
to
,
you
subtily
phrase
it
)
by
the
Lineal
Heirs
,
and
these
were
approved
by
Lawyers
,
nor
did
the
Church
ever
remonstrate
against
them
.
And
what
of
all
this
?
Let
the
Vsurpations
and
Confusions
be
what
they
will
,
still
men
will
eat
,
and
drink
,
buy
and
sell
,
and
such
like
Acts.
Nor
do
I
think
such
a
State
doth
acquit
men
from
the
Obligation
to
do
(
what
in
them
lies
)
such
things
as
seem
absolutely
necessary
for
the
preservation
of
the
Society
,
and
the
real
good
of
Mankind
.
And
if
any
such
things
,
as
are
necessary
for
the
maintenance
of
human
Affairs
,
and
which
are
accompanied
with
common
Justice
in
themselves
,
should
now
be
done
,
or
enacred
,
and
hereafter
be
confirmed
by
I
know
no
reason
to
remonstrate
against
this
;
but
I
think
the
need
of
such
a
confirmation
is
a
demonstration
where
the
Right
and
Authority
lies
.
King

King

But
,
pray
Sir
,
upon
such
extraordinary
interruptions
,
did
all
men
ever
think
themselves
bound
to
approve
them
?
Did
not
they
still
,
as
opportunity
served
,
assist
Right
?
Did
not
such
proceedings
cost
a
world
of
Blood
and
Treasure
,
to
none
,
or
very
ill
purpose
,
while
no
Peace
,
or
Ease
could
be
had
,
till
things
were
brought
to
rights
again
?
When
matters
are
in
trouble
,
or
confusion
,
wise
and
good
Men
think
it
the
best
way
to
put
an
end
to
them
,
as
soon
as
can
be
;
But
you
cast
out
that
Right
that
only
can
restore
our
Peace
;
and
when
you
have
conjured
up
most
horrid
confusions
,
plead
for
their
continuance
.
I
know
not
what
could
be
done
more
by
an
Advocate
for
the
Prince
of
Darkness
.
As
for
what
you
say
concerning
Bishop
Convocation
Book
,
I
am
sorry
,
that
a
pretender
to
so
much
modesty
should
be
guilty
of
such
an
impudent
Assertion
,
when
that
matter
hath
been
fully
cleared
by
so
many
learned
and
judicious
Pens
.
King
James
And
Bishop
's
Convocation
Book
comes
up
to
it
.
If
any
man
therefore
shall
affirm
;
—
that
any
person
,
born
a
Subject
,
and
affirming
by
all
the
Arguments
,
that
Wit
or
Learning
could
devise
,
that
God
had
called
him
to
murther
the
King
under
which
he
lived
,
yea
,
tho'
he
should
have
first
,
procured
himself
to
be
proclaimed
,
or
anointed
King
,
as
he
doth
greatly
err
de
facto
de
facto
de
jure
At
last
you
very
gravely
give
us
your
Opinion
,
that
in
the
late
Oath
of
Allegiance
the
word
[
Successors
]
was
added
after
[
Heirs
]
on
this
very
self
same
Ground
,
that
tho'
Heirs
by
the
Ordinary
Course
are
the
Legal
Successors
,
yet
others
legally
may
succeed
in
Cases
extra-ordinary
.
This
it
is
for
men
to
give
their
Opinions
without
Book
,
and
without
any
other
consideration
than
to
pervert
the
State
of
the
Case
.
Had
you
given
your self
the
small
Trouble
to
read
over
the
Oath
,
you
could
not
for
shame
have
put
this
interpretation
upon
it
,
for
the
express
words
of
it
are
[
Lawful
Successors
]
which
follow
the
word
[
Heirs
]
by
way
of
Limitation
,
or
Restraint
,
to
shew
that
none
shall
succeed
but
the
Legal
Heir
.
And
thus
,
Sir
,
the
words
of
the
Oath
,
instead
of
admitting
,
plainly
and
peremptorily
exclude
your
extra-ordinary
Successors
,
and
extra-lineal
Kings
.
Thus
your
new
invention
hath
added
a
fresh
absurdity
,
instead
of
being
a
remedy
to
those
many
others
,
which
your
Party
run
into
upon
Discourses
of
this
Matter
.
And
tho'
you
mince
the
matter
,
yet
you
might
have
been
so
bold
to
say
,
the
Oath
requires
Allegiance
to
unlawful
Successors
,
as
what
you
have
said
;
for
while
there
is
one
in
being
,
and
claiming
,
to
whom
the
Right
really
belongs
,
what
can
your
extra-ordinary
Successors
be
but
Tyrants
,
and
Vsurpers
?
Also
I
do
swear
from
my
heart
,
that
notwithstanding
any
Sentence
of
Excommunication
,
or
Deprivation
,
made
,
or
granted
,
or
to
be
made
,
or
granted
by
the
Pope
,
or
his
Successors
,
or
by
any
Authority
derived
,
or
pretended
to
be
derived
from
him
,
or
his
See
,
against
the
said
King
,
his
Heirs
,
or
Successors
,
or
any
absolution
of
the
said
Subjects
from
their
obedience
,
I
will
bear
Faith
,
and
true
.
Allegiance
to
his
Majesty
,
his
Heirs
and
Successors
,
and
him
and
them
will
defend
to
the
utmost
of
my
Power
,
against
all
attempts
whatsoever
,
that
shall
be
made
against
his
,
or
their
Persons
,
their
Crown
,
and
Dignity
,
by
Reason
,
and
Colour
of
any
such
Sentence
,
or
Declaration
,
or
otherwise
;
and
will
do
my
best
endeavour
,
to
disclose
and
make
known
unto
his
Majesty
,
his
Heirs
,
and
Successors
,
all
Treasons
and
Traiterous
Conspiracies
which
I
shall
know
,
or
hear
of
to
be
against
him
,
or
any
of
them
.
That
the
Oath
of
Allegiance
binds
to
the
King
,
his
Heirs
and
[
Lawful
]
Successors
That
in
the
late
Oath
of
Allegiance
,
after
the
words
[
Heirs
]
the
words
[
Lawful
Successors
]
were
added
on
this
very
self

ground
,
that
tho'
Heirs
by
the
ordinary
Course
are
the
Legal
Successors
,
yet
others
legally
may
succeed
in
Cases
extraordinary
.
That
by
our
Oath
to
we
are
bound
to
pay
Allegiance
to
which
seems
so
strange
a
Paradox
,
that
the
defending
of
it
must
serve
only
to
let
the
World
see
,
that
there
are
no
Words
,
nor
Oaths
possible
to
be
framed
,
for
which
men
may
not

putting
all
together

that
I

that
our

of
Allegiance
(
supposing
it
still
in
force

to
the
King
,
his
Heirs
,
and
Successors

binds
us
to

Allegiance

of
his
Life
,
yet
)
of

how
he
can
be

that

?
And
you
strained
a
point
to
make
him
so
.
—
But
let
us
see
your
fine
Art
of
proving
Right
Wrong
,
and
Wrong
Right
.
Your
Discourse
of
Kings
thrusting
out
Kings
is
a
direct
thrusting
out
Right
,
and
encouraging
,
and
justifying
Ambitious
Persons
in
embroyling
the
World
in
perpetual
Wars
and
Confusions
.
But
I
shall
not
expose
it
as
it
deserves
,
because
it
is
nothing
to
the
purpose
of
a
plain
known
Right
,
and

If
you
would
make
a
fair
answer
here
,
you
ought
to
give
a
direct
Answer
to
this
Question
;
If
a
Person
,
having
really
no
Right
,
doth
disclaim
any
Right
to
a
thing
,
and
by
publick
Declarations
doth
profess
,
that
he
makes
no
Pretentions
to
it
,
nor
hath
any
Design
to
disturb
another
in
his
Right
,
I
say
,
if
this
Person
shall
by
ill
Arts
seize
it
,
doth
this
,
notwithstanding
all
his
Protestations
and
Declarations
to
the
contrary
,
even
against
all
Right
and
Reason
,
create
him
a
Right
,
whether
he
will
,
or
no
?
And
even
an
unjust
Potentate
,
tho'
he
cannot
according
to
Legal
Justice
out
a
King
,
against
whom
he
hath
no
Legal
Cause
,
or
Right
of
War
,
yet
if
he
doth
so
,
and
the
subject
People
cannot
help
it
,
and
he
enforce
himself
upon
the
People
for
a
new
King
,
our
Laws
in
this
concur
with
the
Laws
and
Practices
of
all
Nations
,
in
allowing
our
Estates
to
determin
for
us
in
such
Exigences
,
as
is
manifest
in
the
long
Contentions
,
and
many
Turns
between
the
Houses
of
and
the
sin
shall
lie
only
on
the
injurious
,
and
not
them
that
submitted
to
an
inevitable
fate
of
things
.
Wars
and
Victories
are
many
times
unjust
,
yet
they
,
that
suffer
the
injury
,
lawfully
submit
to
the
unlawful
and
injurious
demand
of
Submission

King
James
He
had
need
of
a
Case-hardned
Face
,
that
will
undertake
to
defend
what
you
say
,
that
the
Hereditary
Succession
was
not
violently
broken
,
but
altered
by
the
Consent
of
the
next
Heirs
.
Sir
,
it
was
broken
with
a
witness
,
for
there
were
four
before
your
Idol
;
and
now
there
are
six
;
and
will
you
say
,
there
was
no
violence
,
when
our
Native
Prince
was
close
confined
in
his
own
Kingdom
?
—
But
now
you
will
needs
persuade
us
,
that
this
was
done
with
consent
.
Now
you
would
have
done
well
to
have
produced
the
consent
of

the
who
ought
to
be

then
as
for

certainly
you
mean

,
whom
you
fasly
call

it

concern
her
for

to
make

if
she

not

That
the
internal
immorality
of
all
Actions
must
be
carefully
distinguished
from
the
Civil
Consequences
of
them
.
—
A
Son
,
say
you
,
by
fraudulent
Arts
gets
judgment
in
Law
,
and
seizes
his
Fathers
Estate
,
and
Body
by
Execution
,
and
starves
his
Father
in
Prison
;
this
mans
immorality
is
damnable
;
—
Yet
the
Judges
,
Sheriffs
,
and
other
Officers
are
innocent
.
It
may
be
so
,
while
they
act
as
Officers
of
Law
,
and
according
to
the
directions
of
Law
.
But
if
your
Judges
,
Sheriffs
,
or
other
Officers
join
with
,
and
assist
such
a
wicked
Son
,
or
Daughter
,
to
effect
such
an
Evil
Act
,
or
do
applaud
and
approve
it
,
when
they
know
it
be
done
by
such
wicked
and
unlawful
Acts
,
then
their
being
Officers
of
Law
will
rather
increase
than
diminish
their
Guilt
.
So
for
your
Robbers
,
and
Pirates
;
a
man
may
lawfully
suffer
by
them
,
tho'
it
were
better
,
if
he
could
escape
it
.
But
if
you
will
plead
,
that
their
Robberies
and
Piracies
are
lawful
;
if
you
say
,
they
acquire
a
just
Right
to
what
they
get
by
such
wicked
means
,
or
if
you
actually
joyn
with
them
,
and
rob
,
and
share
in
their
Booties
,
you
will
be
as
very
a
Rogue
as
they
;
and
which
is
most
like
the
Case
,
I
leave
others
to
judge
.
That
Wars
and
Victories
are
many
times
unjust
,
yet
they
that
suffer
the
injury
,
lawfully
submit
to
the
unlawful
and
injurious
demand
of
Submission
,
as
in
Piracies
,
and
other
like
Tyrannies
.
King
James
Much
such
another
instance
is
your
Lord
of
a
Mannor
.
Let
him
look
how
he
came
to
be
so
.
I
may
treat
with
him
as
Lord
of
the
Mannor
,
whom
the
Law
declares
to
be
so
.
But
if
the
Lords
Tenants
conspire
against
their
lawful
Landlord
,
and
dispossess
him
of
his
Mannor
,
and
invite
a
Stranger
,
and
say
,
and
swear
he
shall
be
Lord
of
the
Mannor
,
and
accordingly
pay
Homage
and
Fealty
to
him
,
Sir
,
you
may
determine
for
their
swearing
and
lying
too
,
if
you
please
,
but
I
shall
have
nothing
the
better
opinion
of
your
honesty
for
it
.
vi
&
armis
de
facto
But
let
the
Fifth
Commandment
look
to
it self
;
for
it
was
never
so
hardly
beset
.
You
say
,
That
from
the
Fifth
Commandment
we
cannot
charge
with
subjection
to
&c.
—
But
does
a
Nephew
,
or
a
Son
in
Law
owe
no
Duty
,
if
he
owe
not
that
which
is
properly
called
Subjection
?
Or
may
a
Man
,
because
he
is
not
his
Subject
,
spoil
another
of
all
he
has
?
And
must
all
persons
applaud
,
and
approve
the
Act
,
and
swear
he
is
in
the
Right
?
The
Case
of
an
own
Daughter
is
still
more
severe
;
but
for
that
you
say
,
she
is
in
Duty
bound
to
follow
her
Husbands
Fortune
,
Order
,
and
Authority
,
even
against
the
Will
of
her
Father
,
and
that
with
a
more
plenary
consent
,
if
she
judges
her
Husbands
Cause
to
be
just
in
it self
.
—
But
,
Sir
,
I
am
not
satisfied
with
your
bare
word
,
that
a
Woman
is
thus
bound
to
follow
her
Husband
thro'
thick
and
thin
;
—
let
her
have
a
care
how
she
becomes
partner
in
his
sins
.
—
But
doth
the
Duty
of
a
Wife
take
away
the
Relation
of
a
Child
?
They
may
indeed
limit
each
other
,
so
that
the
Father
may
not
command
the
Daughter
any
thing
inconsistent
with
the
Duty
of
a
Wife
;
nor
the
Husband
the
Wife
any
thing
inconsistent
with
the
Duty
of
a
Child
to
a
Parent
.
But
yet
the
great
end
of
these
Relations
is
to
strengthen
,
and
support
,
and
not
to
destroy
each
other
.
—
Besides
your
Reason
is
a
mistake
in
it self
as
to
this
Case
;
for
could
you
with
all
your
tricks
of
Legerdemain
remove
both
and
the
out
of
the
way
,
then
there
would
arise
another
Relation
,
and
then
he
in
these
Dominions
must
follow
her
Fortunes
,
not
she
his
.
—
But
to
let
this
pass
,
all
that
has
been
done
is
contrary
to
the
Duties
of
those
Relations
,
which
they
were
,
and
are
under
by
the
Fifth
Commandment
.
This
Judgment
is
not
worth
a
Farthing
,
except
the
Cause
be
just
in
it self
all
violations
of
all
those
Decencies
,
that
are
yet
,
notwithstanding
her
Marriage
,
due
by
the
Fifth
Commandment
to
her
Father
,
which
are
consistent
with
her
Husbands
Rights
and
Interests
,
and
in
her
Rightful
Power
to
perform

shalt

You
do
us
manifest
injustice
,
when
you
suppose
,
or
feign
,
that
we
admit
no
Settlement
under
Powers
procured
by
the
breach
of
Gods
Commandments
.
And
this
in
all
reason
you
must
do
knowingly
,
and
wilfully
;
because
I
think
there
is
not
one
,
who
on
our
behalf
hath
concerned
himself
in
the
matter
of
the
Convocation-Book
,
but
hath
stated
this
Question
,
and
always
admitted
a
thorow
Settlement
whatever
were
the
means
whereby
it
was
procured
.
'T
is
true
,
we
neither
commend
,
nor
encourage
such
wicked
doings
;
but
on
the
other
hand
we
do
not
think
Dominion
to
be
founded
in
Grace
,
and
that
a
man
cannot
have
a
good
Title
,
unless
he
be
a
good
Christian
.
We
can
mourn
over
the
bad
man
,
whilst
we
submit
to
the
good
Title
.
But
we
complain
,
that
we
have
no
Settlement
,
nor
any
thing
like
a
good
Title
,
to
which
we
may
submit
.
For
who
can
own
that
to
be
a
good
Title
,
against
which
there
are
prior
,
and
better
Titles
in
being
,
contesting
,
and
claiming
?
Or
who
can
take
that
for
a
Settlement
,
where
a
bad
Title
by
bad
means
is
maintained
against
a
just
and
good
Title
?
We
say
,
that
a
full
Settlement
in
one
,
while
another
,
who
has
Right
,
claims
,
and
endavours
to
recover
his
Right
,
is
contradictory
nonsense
.

You

that
if

then
it
is
not
the
Breach
of
Gods

,
that
Incapacitates
the
Prince
of
this
Crown
.
But
why
may
not
both
do
it
?
For
because
the
Lawful
King
is
Living
and
Claiming
,
therefore
the
Commandments
of
God
require
of
all
his
Subjects
,
that
they
Pay
him
their
Dutiful
and
Loyal
Obedience
.
They
ought
by
all
means
to
Support
him
in
his
Throne
,
or
Restore
him
to
it
,
as
his
Condition
requires
.
But
if
His
Tenure
be
Extinct
,
as
it
hath
been
Publickly
judged
by
this
Nation
,
our
Oath
to
him

,
tho'
be
contend
never

.
T.
B.
thanks
God
he
hath
not
so
Learned
And
it
is
like
to
be
true
;
for
he
seems
to
have
Learn'd
but
little
of
him
,
at
least
in
his
Doctrine
,
To
the
Objection
,
that
Allegiance
seemeth
to
imply
Right
,
which
is
a
Tender
Point
to
be
Sworn
to
,
that
the
Oath
expresses
no
form
of
Affirmation
concerning
Right
.
But
what
if
it
doth
not
,
as
long
as
it
expresses
what
manifestly
includes
Right
?
And
this
Allegiance
directly
,
and
manifestly
doth
.
For
it
is
the
proper
duty
of
a
Subject
to
his
Lawful
Sovereign
,
and
contains
an
Obligation
to
the
Performance
of
all
those
Acts
,
which
are
required
from
every
Subject
,
as
he
stands
Related
to
his
Rightful
Sovereign
;
It
is
the
immediate
Result
of
that
Relation
,
So
that
where
you
deny
your
Allegiance
due
,
you
in
consequence
deny
the
Right
of
the
Prince
;
where
you
Pay
your
Allegiance
,
it
is
as
owning
him
to
be
your
Prince
.
And
therefore
when
you
swear
Allegiance
,
you
Tacitly
swear
a
Right
.
For
tho'
there
is
a
sort
of
Obedience
,
or
Observances
which
may
be
paid
to
Vsurpers
,
Robbers
,
and
Pirates
,
yet
Allegience
may
not
be
paid
to
them
,
as
being
the
Natural
duty
of
the
Subject
,
which
The
Laws
and
Constitutions
have
Appropriated
to
their
Legal
Prince
,
and
made
Inseparable
from
him
;
And
now
I
hope
you
will
not
tell
us
,
that
the

You
say
,
Where
I
deny
Allegiance
due
,
I
in
consequence
deny
the
Right
of
the
Prince
.
But
for
all
this
you
are
certain
,
no
such
thing
[
as
Right
]
was
intended
[
in
the
Oath
.
]
For
,
say
you
,
your
Estates
in
Parliament
rejected
the
Motions
made
for
an
Assertion
of
Right
.
And
yet
you
immediately
add
,
that
they
,
and
the
ensuing
Parliament
judged
their
admission
of
King
to
be
in
their
Lawful
Right
,
yet
they
bound
not
us
to
Swear
so
What!
if
we
are
bound
to
Swear
according
to
their
Intention
,
and
they
,
as
appears
by
the
Act
of
Recognition
,
intend
,
and
declare
them
to
be
and
so
have
put
the
distinction
of
out
of
doors
?
Which
if
it
be
so
hard
for
you
to
apprehend
,
I
will
put
it
into
this
fair
Syllogism
;
The
Sense
of
the
King
and
Parliament
(
the
Imposers
of
the
Oath
)
is
,
that
King
is
King
But
we
must
take
the
Oath
in
the
Sense
of
the
Imposers
we
must
take
the
Oath
in
this
Sense
,
that
King
is
King
Do
you
think
,
that
King
and
Queen
did
intend
,
that
you
should
esteem
them
as
a
King
and
Queen
,
that
had
no
Right
?
If
not
,
then
all
are
perjur'd
,
who
Swear
to
them
only
as
King
and
Queen
all
,
that
acknowledge
that
Rule
of
Swearing
according
to
the
Intention
of
the
Imposers
.
)
For
the
Oath
was
chiefly
made
for
the
satisfaction
of
King
and
Queen
and
they
were
the
Supream
,
at
least
the
chief
part
of
the
Imposers
;
but
if
they
were
only
a
part
,
(
as
none
deny
them
to
be
in
an
Act
of
Parliament
)
then
their
Sense
is
included
in
the
Sense
of
the
Imposers
,
and
consequently
we
must
take
the
Oath
in
their
Sense
,
or
not
take
it
according
to
the
Sense
of
the
Imposers
.
Or
did
your
Conventioners
,
or
those
that
followed
them
,
intend
to
bind
you
to
any
thing
?
If
they
intended
to
bind
you
to
nothing
,
they
laid
their
wise
Heads
together
to
such
a
purpose
,
as
never
yet
any
Men
did
.
But
if
they
did
intend
to
bind
you
to
your
New
Governours
in
any
thing
,
what
can
that
reasonably
be
supposed
to
be
,
other
than
what
they
admitted
them
in
?
And
that
,
you
say
,
was
in
their
Lawful
Right
.
They
were
indeed
ashamed
at
that
time
to
put
it
into
the
body
of
the
Oath
;
and
besides
,
they
knew
it
would
have
made
many
Persons
abhor
it
;
but
it
is
plain
,
this
they
designed
,
and
tricked
upon
you
.
Hence
you
may
perceive
,
that
your
slippery
Remark
will
not
deliver
you
from
the
Intention
of
the
Imposer
.
the
Constituting
(
as
well
as
ensuing
)
Parliament
did
judge
it
in
their
Lawful
Right
,
to
admit
King
and
Queen
de
facto
to
promise
that
Allegiance
due
by
our
Laws
to
Kings
thus
actually
admitted

That
if
they
took
not
the
Oath
as
the
Parliament
intended
,
they
took
it
as
directed
by
their
Majesties
Judges
.
What
?
did
their
Majesties
Judges
direct
the
Oath
to
be
taken
otherwise
than
as
the
Parliament
intended
?
I
desire
that
may
be
made
out
.
Did
they
do
it
judicially
in
Court
?
I
think
that
will
not
be
so
much
as
pretended
.
If
it
be
,
I
desire
to
know
when
,
where
,
and
how
.
If
you
say
,
that
a
Judge
did
only
discourse
it
privately
,
that
is
no
more
than
if
any
private
Man
had
said
so
.
But
to
take
off
the
pretence
of
this
Salvo
,
the
Judges
are
not
,
nor
do
pretend
to
be
the
Imposers
.
And
the
Imposers
(
King
and
Queen
and
both
Houses
of
Parliament
)
have
declared
what
their
Sense
of
the
Oath
is
,
that
King
and
Queen
are
King
and
Queen
M.
S.
Reflex
de
Jure
Indeed
if
the
real
Sense
of
the
Imposer
could
be
avoided
,
and
what
Sense
others
please
,
imposed
,
the
Oath
might
be
taken
in
a
thousand
several
Senses
,
and
not
one
come
up
with
the
Sense
,
and
design
of
the
Imposers
,
which
in
this
Case
always
is
the
security
of
the
Government
.
Besides
a
thousand
other
Mischiefs
would
follow
vacating
all
Oaths
,
and
destructive
to
all
Governments
,
and
Human
Society
.
For
if
Oaths
may
be
thus
eluded
,
Promises
and
Contracts
would
soon
follow
their
Fortune
,
as
being
less
Sacred
.
Now
Sir
,
you
would
do
well
to
answer
these
,
and
the
like
Reasons
,
before
you
so
peremptorily
assert
any
inferiour
Courts
to
be
the
Authentick
Interpreters
of
Publick
Oaths
.
You
had
best
have
a
care
that
you
be
not
followed
with
a
Cry
of
Priviledge
of
Parliament
.
And
indeed
that
Legislative
power
is
little
better
than
Ridiculous
,
which
may
be
authentically
evaded
,
and
be
made
quite
another
thing
by
the
inferiour
Ministers
of
it
.
And
after
all
,
the
Interpretations
of
those
Courts
will
not
excuse
you
from
insincerity
,
and
prevaricating
with
the
State
,
as
you
seem
to
fear
.
For
if
those
Courts
did
give
a
lower
,
and
more
easie
Sense
than
could
reasonably
be
thought
was
in
ended
by
the
Imposers
,
you
ought
not
to
catch
at
that
for
an
Advantage
,
which
they
had
no
power
to
give
.
Nor
ought
you
to
join
with
them
in
eluding
the
Oath
,
but
to
take
care
of
your selves
,
that
they
neither
cosen
you
,
nor
you
others
.
For
an
Oath
ought
to
be
taken
in
Judgment
,
Truth
,
and
Righteousness
,
in
all
which
points
you
will
fail
,
if
you
take
this
Course
.
What
such
particular
Courts
determin
,
must
be
taken
for
Law
'till
condemned
by
a
Superiour
Court
,
or
nulled
by
the
Legislative
,
which
will
secure
our
Law-givers
from
the
Ridicule
,
and
leave
that
Character
to
its
own
Proprietors
.

For
if
you
cannot

us
,
you
will
affright
us
into
the
Oath

any

For
you
endeavour
to
possess
us
with
an
Opinion
,
that
King
(
if
ever
he
returns
)
will
hang
all
them
that
do
not
Swear
and
pay
Allegiance
to
An
hard
Case
,
that
a
Man
can't
be
Wise
and
Honest
without
Hanging
!
But
why
this
extreme
Severity
?
Why
?
Because
the
Lineal
Heir
may
hang
a
Man
as
a
Traytor
for
breach
of
Allegiance
to
an
extralineal
King
.
Well
but
if
King
should
hang
up
all
that
did
not
pay
Allegiance
to
one
would
think
he
should
not
spare
those
,
who
would
not
pay
Allegiance
to
himself
,
and
this
would
make
clear
Work
.
When
the
Fourth
first
joined
Battle
against
the
Sixth
,
did
not
you
think
this
would
have
made
a
powerful
Speech
for
him
to
his
Souldiers
Sir
I
do
not
believe
there
is
any
Law
to
hang
a
Man
for
Loyalty
,
and
of
all
Men
living
I
least
fear
it
from
King
And
I
appeal
to
your self
,
whether
you
can
believe
that
Interpretation
you
put
upon
our
Laws
,
That
King
may
Hang
Men
as
Traitors
for
breaking
their
Allegiance
to
King
This
is
the
same
,
as
if
King
the
Second
should
have
Hanged
Men
as
Traitors
to
the
Common-Wealth
of
who
restored
him
to
his
Crown
.
But
in
Truth
,
all
this
Hanging
stuff
seems
to
have
another
Design
,
not
to
tell
what
K.
may
do
,
but
what
you
would
have
others
to
do
,
as
if
they
were
excusable
for
any
severity
towards
those
,
who
deny
them
that
,
for
which
even
King
himself
may
punish
them
.
It
is
a
pious
hint
to
your
Government
,
and
your
Mob
.
What
I
principally
insist
on
is
,
That
our
Law
requires
Subjection
,
and
Obedience
to
the
Powers
in
being
.
To
prove
this
,
I
shall
here
set
down
the
words
of
Sir
and
in
the
Margin
note
the
Authorities
to
which
he
refers
.
Sir
speaking
of
the
Statute
of
the
the
Third
concerning
Treason
that
this
Statute
is
to
be
understood
of
a
King
in
Possession
of
the
Crown
and
Kingdom
.
For
if
there
be
a
King
Regnant
in
possession
,
altho'
he
be
yet
is
he
within
the
Purview
of
this
Statute
.
And
the
other
,
that
hath
Right
,
and
is
out
of
Possession
,
is
not
within
this
Act.
Nay
,
if
Treason
be
committed
against
a
King
and
after
the
King
cometh
to
the
Crown
,
he
shall
punish
the
Treason
done
to
the
King
and
a
Pardon
granted
by
a
King
that
is
not
also
is
void
This
Argument
I
take
to
be
of
great
force
;
because
the
measures
of
Subjection
are
not
the
same
in
all
Countreys
,
but
must
be
taken
from
the
Laws
and
Customs
of
every
Countrey

as
if
the
Charm
lay
in
a
word

Call
him
if
you
will
,
for
me
.
Is
not
the
Duke
of
King
of
that
Countrey
,
because
he
is
called
Duke
?
It
is
the
Authority
and
Power
we
are
speaking

Names
it

You
say
,
that
did
not
,
and
could
not
pretend
a
National
Contract
,
as
having
no
House
of
Lords
,
nor
free
House
of
Commons
.
Whatever
he
might
do
,
I
am
sure
,
that
he
did
pretend
,
that
he
was
advanced
to
the
Government
,
by
the
Consent
and
even
Grant
of
the
People
of
What
was
it
else
he
did
pretend
?
O.
C.
in
the
next
place
for
the
justice
of
his
pretence
,
that
he
had
no
House
of
Lords
,
I
suppose
he
made
that
no
pretence
against
himself
,
as
you
would
have
me
believe
.
O.
C.
But
he
did
not
think
a
Lords
House
necessary
to
make
a
National
Representation
.
It
could
not
be
so
originally
.
And
therefore
they
as
Lords
are
no
Parties
in
the
Original
Contract
.
We
know
an
House
of
Commons
hath
Voted
them
useless
.
And
at
this
Day
the
Lords
do
not
pretend
to
the
Right
of
granting
away
the
Money
of
the
People
;
And
I
suppose
it
is
upon
this
Account
,
that
they
do
not
look
upon
themselves
as
the
Representatives
of
the
People
.

Whereas
you

had
no

House
of

,
I
answer
first
,
he
did
not
pretend
that
,
which
is
a
sufficient
Answer
thereto
.
All
that
I
will
further
say
to
this
point
,
is
,
that
they
called
themselves
free
,
and
no
Man
durst
say
the
contrary
.
While
they
had
the
Power
,
owned
them
,
and
they
owned
him
;
and
he
had
as
Universal
and
seeming
a
Consent
of
the
Nation
,
as
can
well
be
imagined
;
he
was
obeyed
at
home
,
and
owned
abroad
,
if
not
in
all
,
yet
in
most
of
the
Courts
in
Christendome
.

That
the
Prayers
were
consented
to
by
all
the
Recusant
Bishops
,
and
by
them
or
their
Officers
without
any
Prohibition
)
sent
to
the
Clergy
of
every
Diocese
,
and
by
them
generally
received
.
The
Bishops
were
present
at
them
,
directed
their
Clergy
upon
Consultation
to
use
them
;
and
thus
things
stood
till
the
Day
of
their
Suspension
,
and
no
blowing
of
the
Trumpet
against
Perjury
.
Now
if
this
were
true
,
yet
if
the
Prayers
are
truly
chargeable
with
something
unlawful
,
and
wicked
;
that
is
such
a
daring
affront
to
God
Almighty
,
that
neither
any
Act
,
or
Neglect
of
theirs
can
justify
either
your
or
my
Concurrence
in
them
.
And
therefore
I
wonder
why
you
should
make
such
a
Lye
,
when
it
will
not
serve
you
for
a
Reason
.
For
it
is
well
known
to
all
,
who
frequented
their
Communion
,
that
they
never
read
or
used
those
Prayers
,
and
that
is
no
improbable
Argument
,
that
they
neither
consented
to
them
,
nor
sent
them
abroad
.
But
the
truth
is
,
that
they
were
so
far
from
either
consenting
to
them
,
or
sending
them
to
their
Clergy
,
that
they
had
no
opportunity
of
the
thing
,
'till
it
was
done
and
past
.
And
whether
some
Body
told
you
this
Lye
,
or
you
made
it
your self
,
if
you
please
to
consult
the
Printer
in
the
he
can
tell
you
how
they
were
sent
,
and
who
sent
them
,
and
that
those
whom
you
call
Recusant
Bishops
,
were
purposely
kept
ignorant
,
that
they
might
not
be
able
to
give
any
obstructions
to
the
business
.
And
now
,
Sir
,
do
not
you
think
,
that
you
have
acted
a
very
mannerly
Part
to
our
Reverend
Fathers
,
in
exclaiming
against
them
,
and
comparing
them
to
winking
Watch-men
,
and
dumb
Dogs
,
because
they
do
not
get
up
o'
th'
top
of
the
Monument
,
and
baul
out
against
a
thing
,
which
they
knew
nothing
of
?
It
could
not
be
done
before
,
and
since
it
hath
been
cried
out
against
sufficiently
.
the
Apostacy
of
the
Church
of
Another
Reason
why
we
may
lawfully
join
in
those
Prayers
,
is
because

as
you

do
you

that

his
Crown

if
he
could

and
consequently
dispossess
King
Or
do
you
think
this
no
Injury
to
K.
And
no
more

you

can
be
intended
in

Prayers
(
of

to
join
with
you
in
the
Common-Prayers
for
King
viz.
To
strengthen
him
,
that
he
may
Vanquish
and
overcome
all
his
Enemies
,
because
King
intends
him
no
Injury
.
Transubstantiation
is
easie
to
this

This
is
perswading
us
out
of
all
our
Senses
at
once
.
King
and
King
appear
upon
the
Head
of
two
Armies
,
and
Fight
and
each
calls
those
Rebels
that
adhere
to
the
other
;
and
yet
they
are
not
Enemies
.
It
is
no
hurt
to
the
one
,
if
the
other
get
the
Victory
,
and
therefore
you
may
Pray
for
Victory
to
King
without
meaning
any
hurt
to
King
Why
then
are
you
offended
at
those
that
Pray
for
Victory
to
King
against
King
Here
is
no
Injury
intended
to
King
only
that
King
may
have
a
Victory
,
that
is
all
.
Is
this
the
Argument
to
perswade
Mens
Consciences
to
join
in
your
Common
Prayers
?
Is
this
the
strength
of
your
Cause
?
The
strong
and
solid
Conviction
of
the
sincerity
and
plainness
of
your
Dealing

as
to

For
you
say

that
you
have
been
assured
by
a
good
Author
,
that
the
Recusant
Bishops
did
not
all
stick
at
it
;
but
that
some
gave
directions
,
and
consent
to
the
use
of
it
;
and
also
before
their
Suspension
deputed
Persons
to
administer
the
Oath
in
the
Execution
of
the
Authorities
and
Offices
Episcopal
.
Sir
,
If
I
should
say
your
good
Author
was
an
arrant
lying
knave
,
I
hope
you
would
not
only
pardon
my
bluntness
,
but
also
be
more
careful
for
the
future
,
how
you
gave
any
credit
to
such
Persons
.
T.
B.
As
for
this
pretended
Deputation
,
I
will
set
before
you
the
true
story
;
and
then
you
,
and
all
men
may
judge
,
how
candidly
our
suffering
Fathers
are
dealt
with
.
On
the
the
Bishop
of
and
St.
and
some
others
presented
themselves
before
your
mighty
K.
with
a
mournful
address
in
the
behalf
of
our
Reverend
Fathers
then
drawing
neer
to
a
Civil
Suspension
,
and
since
more
than
uncivilly
deprived
.
This
was
the
pretence
;
but
it
is
reasonable
to
think
,
that
it
was
a
complotted
thing
,
and
that
the
design
was
to
get
their
Authorities
deputed
in
such
sure
hands
,
as
might
effectually
promote
perjury
,
and
the
thrusting
good
men
out
of
their
Estates
,
and
so
the
Addressers
got
themselves
into
their
several
jurisdictions
,
This
is
the
real
truth
of
the
matter
;
and
is
so
far
from
being
a
deputation
of
their
Authorities
,
that
it
doth
not
imply
any
Consent
,
more
than
what
is
always
unavoidably
extorted
from
every
man
in
the
like
Circumstances

was

if
there
was
such
a
difference
between
the
Constitutions

the
Churches

if
it
was
a
manifest
Cession
on
part
,
(
all
which
I
well
proved
)

can
by
no

this
Case

this
perhaps
may
be
the
Plea
of
our
Adversaries
,
in
answer
to
the
examples
of
the
High-Priest
,
that
the
Office
of
a
Bishop
amonst
us
is
much
more
Spiritual
,
than
the
Office
of
those
High-Priests
.
To
that
Plea
I
answer
,
that
he
that
considers
the
true
and
full
import
of
the
Question
now
before
us
,
will
find
it
to
be
no
other
than
this
,
whether
a
Person
,
duly
invested
with
an
Ecclesiastical
Office
of
God's
own
Institution
and
Ordinance
,
being
deposed
by
the
Lay-power
,
any
other
can
lawfully
succeed
in
that
Office
?
Now
as
to
God's
particular
Institution
and
Appointment
,
whatsoever
otherwise
the
difference
may
be
,
(
which
is
needless
for
us
to
contend
about
)
it
is
certain
,
that
the
High-Priests
were
rather
superior
than
inferior
to
our
Bishops
.
'T
was
by
God
himself
,
and
that
too
in
an
extraordinary
manner
,
that
the
Office
of
the
High-Priest
was
instituted
,
and
it
was
from
God
alone
that
he
received
his
Authority
.
If
therefore
a
Person
was
accepted
by
God
as
a
true
and
real
High-Priest
,
tho'
put
into
the
room
of
another
deposed
by
Civil
Authority
,
then
a
Bishop
likewise
may
be
truly
a
Bishop
,
and
accordingly
ought
to
be
received
,
tho'
put
into
the
place
of
a
Bishop
deposed
by
that
Power
.
To
this
I
add
,
that
the
annual
Expiation
for
the
Sins
of
the
whole
People
was
to
be
performed
by
the
High-Priest
.
This
was
the
chief
of
the
federal
Rites
of
that
Religion
,
and
that
to
which
our
Saviour's
offering
himself
up
a
Sacrifice
is
particularly
compared
in
the
Epistle
to
the
And
this
they
did
so
that
it
was
of
the
greatest
Consequence
to
the
to
have
this
Divine
Institution
performed
by
one
appointed
to
it
by
God
.
And
tho'
no
provision
was
made
for
Cases
of
necessity
,
yet
necessity
was
understood
to
be
a
provision
for
it self
.
And
it
is
certain
,
these
annual
Expiations
were
accepted
of
God
till
our
Saviour's
days
.
For
that
is
a
certain
Consequence
of
their
being
still
in
Covenant
with
God
,
since
these
Expiations
were
the
yearly
renewing
of
that
Covenant
.
Nor
can
any
of
the
performances
of
the
Christian
Priesthood
be
compared
to
this
,
unless
we
believe
the
Power
of
Transubstantiating
.
These
examples
of
the
High-Priest
alone
,
were
there
no
other
to
be
alledged
,
would
sufficiently
warrant
our
submission
to
our
present
Possessors
.
viz.
Moses
21
,
22.
First
,
that
the
whole
Institution
of
the
Law
was
not
of
a
Spiritual
,
but
carnal
Sanctity
,
yielded
them
by
God
,
somewhat
in
opposition
,
and
somewhat
in
conformity
to
the
Aegyptian
,
or
other
foreign
Religions
,
among
whom
the
Priesthood
had
been
long
subjected
to
,
and
perhaps
first
instituted
by
the
Scepter
.
And
herein
the
Supreme
Judgments
in
Civils
upon
the
Law
,
and
Oracular
Responses
upon
Consultations
about
Peace
,
War
,
and
Temporal
Actions
,
and
Successes
,
were
essential
to
the
Authority
of
the
Pontificate
.
And
yet
we
find
this
High-Priest
not
subject
to
any
ordinary
Power
,
till
Kings
were
also
given
this
People
after
the
manner
of
the
Nations
,
among
whom
the
Mitre
was
subject
to
the
Crown
.
All
which
put
together
makes
's
Deprivation
by
a
Temporal
Power
under
that
Constitution
Legal
.
But
from
the
beginning
it
was
not
so
.
Then
there
were
Priests
who
till
the
Flood
had
the
Government
of
the
World
,
without
any
Civil
or
Military
Power
;
and
that
Priesthood
was
in
all
its
Intentions
Spiritual
.
So
that
when
our
Saviour
came
not
only
to
restore
,
but
even
to
refine
upon
the
primitive
Rules
,
he
restored
the
Priesthood
from
and
founded
his
Hierarchy
,
not
in
Princes
,
but
Apostles
,
not
inarmed
,
but
in
unarmed
Powers

Simon

was
made

Jews

and

until
there
should
arise
a
faithful
Prophet
,
that
those
Intrusions
,
tho'
thus
admitted
by
God
,
were
signs
of
a
broken
Church
and
State
,
hastening
to
its
last
Dissolution
,
and
so
no
just
Precedent
for
the
Christian
Church
to
follow
,
which
is
to
continue
to
the

all
things

except
we
must
yield
to

did
not
properly

judicially

he
would
with
dishonour

this
latter
being
in
the
rightful
Power
of
the
King
,
if
would
not
yield
in
the
former
.
So
that
Priesthood
determined
on
his
own
volutary
Cession

not

on
which
I

Clemens

That
the
Scripture
in
our

is
altogether
silent

'T
is
true

it
bids
us
be
obedient
to
our
Governours
,
and
that
Command
reaches
as
well
to
the
Spiritual
,
as
to
the
Temporal
.

that

both
claim

If
any
Bishop

(

Holy

)
making
use

Princes

does

himself

cease

took

he

The

When
you

many
Arguments
drawn
out
with
much
Pomp
and
Ostentation
,
being
basted
in
them
you
grow
weary
with
strugling
,

fairly
give
up
all
,
and
acknowledg
that
an
Act
of
State
Christian
cannot
alone
vacate

Charge
,
M.

that
the

publick

give
an

Effect

Ordinances

Now
this
Concession
overthrows
your
whole
Cause
,
and
being
placed
after
the
main
Body
of
your
Arguments
,
is
it self
an
Argument
,
that
you
had
little
faith
in
them

So
then
our
Bishops
,
being
never
Canonically
Deprived
,
are
the
yet
proper
Bishops
of
their
Sees
.

But
you
come
like
a
Spiritual
Jugler
,
and
perswade
us
,
that
this
hath
been
Canonically
done
;
For
the
Church
,
say
you
,
ought
to
empty
the
Sees
of
such
Incumbents
,
that
are
dangerous
to
the
Civil
State

,
Sir
,
must
the

cast
out
her
Bishops
,
as
oft
as
they
will
not
comply
with
Vsurpers

you
say

this
was
done

,
Sir

you
cannot
but
know

that
the

no

what
was
their

this
is
just
the

say
you

their

for

their

that

Your
jumble
of
Queen
and
Queen
Bishops
I
shall
not
examine
,
because
a
full
answer
to
that
,
either
already
is
,
or
suddenly
will
come
abroad
.
As
to
this
Case
of
the
Bishops
,
saith
he
,
or
of
other
Popish
Bishops
ander
the
Sixth
,
two
things
are
to
be
noted
in
their
removal
and
ejection
out
of
their
Bishoprick's
.
One
is
from
the
Temporalities
,
the
Benefices
,
and
Preferments
thereof
;
and
these
Temporal
Endowments
are
directly
subjects
to
the
Temporal
Power
,
The
other
is
from
the
Spiritual
adherence
and
dependence
of
the
People
on
them
as
on
heads
of
Church
unity
and
Communion
for
religious
ministrations
.
And
this
there
was
no
need
to
deprive
the
Popish
Bishops
of
,
for
they
had
already
deprived
themselves
of
it
by
their
own
Corruptions
,
both
in
Doctrines
,
and
Devotions
.
Adulterations
of
Religion
,
and
corrupt
ministrations
of
the
word
,
of
Prayers
,
and
Sacraments
,
break
the
Ligaments
,
which
tye
on
People
to
this
adherence
to
any
Bishops
,
or
Pastors
,
yea
,
tho'
they
were
Apostles
themselves
.
saith
St.
When
therefore
any
Bishops
,
and
Pastors
,
instead
of
heading
Christian
Truth
,
appear
at
the
head
of
Vn-Christian
Errors
,
the
people
are
discharged
from
their
Obligation
,
and
Dependence
upon
them
,
and
are
to
unite
themselves
as
they
can
to
others
,
who
still
keep
firm
to
that
necessary
Truth
,
and
Gospel
Worship
,
which
they
have
forsaken
.
And
this
was
done
by
the
Popish
Bishops
,
who
fed
the
people
with
false
Doctrines
,
and
polluted
Prayers
,
and
Ministrations
,
which
left
no
need
of
any
thing
more
to
deprive
them
of
the
Peoples
Communion
,
and
Dependence
,
these
Papal
Corruptions
of
Religious
Ministrations
being
enough
to
discharge
,
and
drive
them
away
of
themselves
.
So
that
the
reformed
Bishops
,
when
they
were
set
at
the
heads
of
those
Dioceses
,
called
none
away
,
nor
made
them
break
off
from
any
just
and
due
Spiritual
Dependence
on
their
former
Bishops
,
whose
own
heretical
Doctrine
,
and
corrupt
Ministrations
had
made
the
people
cease
from
depending
any
longer
in
Conscience
upon
them
.
They
wanted
only
to
be
Lawfully
empowered
,
and
regularly
ordained
themselves
by
Episcopal
Imposition
of
hands
,
as
all
those
reformed
Bishops
plainly
were
,
—
and
so
were
no
Spiritual
Intruders
,
nor
guilty
of
any
Civil
Vsurpation
,
or
Injustice
.
—
But
where
Bishops
are
Orthodox
,
and
are
deprived
for
their
adherence
to
Truth
and
Righteousness
,
both
in
their
private
Practice
and
Publick
Ministrations
,
the
people
are
still
left
Spiritually
to
depend
on
them
.
—
And
so
we
our selves
should
have
thought
,
at
least
we
all
seem
,
as
if
we
should
,
if
by
Gods
Providence
the
Civil
State
had
gone
on
to
ddprive
our
reformed
Bishops
for
sticking
to
the
Doctrines
and
Worship
of
the
Reformation
,
and
had
set
up
Popish
Bishops
in
their
places
,
