A68707* But when shall they bee proved to bee contrarie to the word of God?
A68707* How many of them have determined so?
A68707* In what historie be these words?
A68707* Is it not rather an offence to God, to thrust men out of their places before they be tried?
A68707* The Assembly desired it, but did ever Our Royall Father doe so?
A68707* Whether should the King or his subjects keep the keyes of his owne Kingdome?
A68707* Who have made the Covenanters Judges of the lawfulnesse either of the judicatorie or the cause?
A68707And did not We and Our Councell by equall authoritie command these pretended Innovations?
A68707And have either We or Our Councell given any such interpretation?
A68707And is not this pulling down of Our authoritie, and setting themselves in Our place?
A68707And will any man thinke, that they can bee judges in their owne cause?
A68707Besides these nullities of this Assembly, what indecencie and rudenesse was to be discerned in it?
A68707Can these two be confounded?
A68707First, By what authoritie did they doe the same things which they now doe, before the assembly was indicted?
A68707Is it not sufficient, that by Our authoritie they are discharged, and referred to the tryall of a generall Assembly and Parliament?
A68707May we not therefore intreat my Lord Commissioner his Grace, in the words of the Fathers of the fourth generall Councell at Chalcedon?
A68707Moreover, can these men expect, but in a lawfull Assemble they were to bee called and censured for their enorme transgressions foresaid?
A68707NOw, doth this Petition deserve the name of an explication of their Covenant?
A68707Nay, did they not beleeve and know, that some of these Bishops were holy and learned men, free from the crimes objected?
A68707Next, Who gave the generall assembly power to erect any such Table of Commissioners?
A68707Next, how can We betray the Ministers of that Kingdome unto perpetuall slaverie?
A68707Now, did any of all these precede their Covenant?
A68707Sixthly, who did ever heare, that the forme of proceeding of Presbyteries in that Kingdome was by reading of the Libell in any Church?
A68707Was Our authoritie, or the authoritie of Our Councell so much as asked, much lesse obtained?
A68707We wonder they can or dare affirme it: Did not Our Royall Father discharge that Assembly at Aberdene?
A68707Were there any Commissioners by Us, or Our Councell appointed to receive this oath in the severall Shires?
A68707What then?
A68707Whether any man doth hold Christ or Us to be supreme?
A68707Who would not now have expected a happie period to all the distractions of that Kingdome, upon this Our gracious assenting to all their owne desires?
A68707and when some few turbulent Ministers did notwithstanding hold it, were they not convented before the Lords of his Councell for it?
A68707especially, what an intolerable presumption is it in them to judge Our judicatories in Ireland?
A68707hath the bloud of Gods servants, his holy Ministers, been shed, which bloud I am affraid keepeth the vengeance of God still hanging over this Land?
A68707have none who have subscribed your Covenant, done it with blind and doubting minds?
A68707is it not Regi as well as conventui ordinum?
A68707much lesse of such an explication as should give either Us or Our Commissioner any satisfaction?
A68707or can there bee a convention of the three Estates called without the King or his Authoritie?
A68707† But was ever that previous meeting or contention of the Estates without the calling and authoritie of the King?
A5106422. where the question is proposed, v. 8. by all that passe by, wherefore thath the L ● rd done this unto this great City?
A51064Alas had we neither teares, nor blood to bestow upon such an honourable cause and quarrel?
A51064And hath he all power in Heaven and in Earth, for securing himself in the possession of his purchase?
A51064And how little solide endeavour to be like him, and to have every thought of the heart brought in captivitie to his obedience?
A51064And shall any mortal o ● ter to mount his Throne?
A51064And that it should have been your reproach, that you had been last in bringing home the King, and had suffered least for his sake?
A51064And therefore, the Psalmist, perceiving himself ready to sink, saith, why art thou cast down o my Soul?
A51064And what must the privileges and the comforts be which follow upon and flow from this?
A51064Are you afraid that b ● sid ● s ● hese lashings you shall also be put to lose, for his sake?
A51064As if the question were asked, Why doe these heathen rage?
A51064As to the second question: What hopes we may entertain of a Delivery, from our persecuters?
A51064But I may not insist( yea, and dare I say, I hope it is needlesse?)
A51064But vvhat should I say?
A51064But what did you in the meantime?
A51064But who can reckon these things up in order?
A51064But why are you affraid of an ● f an impossi ● ilitie?
A51064But, Deare Friends, what have you to feare in following him?
A51064Do you feare fruition?
A51064Do you feare that they who cast you in the fiery furnace, shall see the Son of God walking with you in the midst of the flames?
A51064Do you feare, they will lash you with their tongues, which are as arrowes shot out, and load you with reproaches?
A51064Do you feare, to be seen made more then Conquerours through him who hath loved you?
A51064Hath Christ bought his Crown a ● d Scepter, with his Blood?
A51064Hath he said it?
A51064How are they hurried with their passions?
A51064How are they often swallowed up in the cares of this life?
A51064How doth he now grin and gnash his teeth upon you?
A51064How few serious designes?
A51064How irregular in their motions, which shewes the irreligiousnesse of their mindings?
A51064How languid are their pantings?
A51064How puffed up with pride?
A51064How seldome ar ● they in Heaven?
A51064How seldome in soliloquies wi ● h him?
A51064How un mortified to the delights of the sons of men?
A51064How unsuteable were it?
A51064However, now Brethren rejoyce, and now be glade, in as much as he hath coun ● ed you worthy to suffer for his sake?
A51064I shall shut up all, in answering two Questions briefly: First, what now should be our carriage in reference to enemies?
A51064If God h ● th said it can not be, it shall not be: why do you give it a being in your im ● gination to to ● ment your selves?
A51064If this were keept in the view of the soul, what strength would it furnish?
A51064Is it not the purity of their malice and perfection of their hatred against Christ as King, which pouseth them on,& Prompts them to this persecution?
A51064Leave thee Lord?
A51064Nay, what if you should be slaine for the word of God, and put to swime in to eternitie, in a sea of your own blood; what have you to feare?
A51064Nay, what of desire and love to the world, and the things ther ● of?
A51064Need I tell you, in whose hand the power is, or of what spirit and principles these men are, after all the desolation they have made amongst you?
A51064Neither is he demurred nor diverted, much lesse turned out of the way of following the Lord fully, because there is a lyon in it?
A51064O how corroborating is such an expectation?
A51064O vain attempt?
A51064O what can be gaine, where ● he ● ainer is eternally lost?
A51064O what weight of sorrowes and variety of sufferings did he undergoe, both in his life and at his death?
A51064Or were we wakened out of our dreame of halcyon dayes of liberty,& c. when the blood of these wor hies was shed?
A51064Or, hath he deserted one of all the sufferers?
A51064Pharaoh said, who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice, to let Israel go?
A51064Secondly, what may be our hope of a delivery from them?
A51064That H ● was a King ● This Question is put to day unto his followers, with greater contempt than Pilat put it, What, and is Iesus a King then?
A51064That he should be crowned with thornes, to purchase them an immortal Crown,& they crowned with roses?
A51064That we may learn at them?
A51064Thirdly, this is the way, to preserve unitie amongst the remnant: do we not know, that their dainties are decei ● ful meat?
A51064Truely, to say nothing of the after glory,( for who can say what it is, since it is above apprehensions?
A51064Were it seemly, that he who bore their burdens, should wade and swime thorow ● eas of sorrows, and they sail in streames of pleasure?
A51064Were we ashamed to be seen without the teare in our eye?
A51064What Lifelesnesse?
A51064What Pressoures were upon him?
A51064What if you should weep, yea and die in prisons?
A51064What lusting and longing after the things of this life?
A51064What pinches was he put to?
A51064What should I say?
A51064What stiring up of one another to mourne together and apart, was there, when now the glory was departed?
A51064What striveing, to get on a load of thick Clay?
A51064What support would it supply the spirit of a sufferer for Christ with?
A51064What ● istlesnesse appeares in their pursuings?
A51064Where are the evid ● nces of our love and loyaltie to Jesus Christ?
A51064Whither shall we go from thee, for thou hast the words of eternal life?
A51064Would you want the share of the commendation, and the glorious reward, that shall be given his witnesses?
A51064Yea, how quickly do they sit up, or turne aside out of the way of following the Lord fully?
A51064against him, who then shall judge them?
A51064and arisen to such a height against us: What then doeth such a stroke?
A51064and hath he such a tittle and right to it?
A51064and how did he, by the marvellous supporting of his Grace, perfect praise out of the mouth of such babes and sucklings?
A51064and sh ● ll not the Zeal of Iehovah performe it?
A51064and the words added, or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
A51064and, what do you think to gaine by it?
A51064are resolveable in this other question, wh ● ● ● ha ● h a man lost, if he should lose the whole world, and save his own s ● ul?
A51064are they extant?
A51064are they u ● on record?
A51064but how by standing by them, and strengthning them, did he still the enemy and avenger?
A51064did our eye affect our heart, to see our blessed Lord Jesus put to more open shame, in our land, then ever he had been put to in the earth?
A51064do we not know, that their most seemingly tender mercies are really keen crueltie?
A51064hath he purposed it, and shall it not come to passe?]
A51064hath he sworne it?
A51064how doe they, who escape such grosse pollutions, yet often trifle in the matter of communion with God?
A51064onely let me aske you what you would do for Christ himself, if he were so dealt with?
A51064or did our carriage witnesse we were willing to lay them down, and lose them, as a Testimony against the wrong done to our Master?
A51064or had vve no use for them but, that they might keep ● tvvo eyes in them, to mourne?
A51064or to withstand them?
A51064see, if you can say it: why then are you daunted with danger?
A51064should we joine again with the persons of these abominations, and breake his covenant?
A51064was the disciples deliberat and warme answer to that heart- moving question, will you also leave me?
A51064what can we say?
A51064what holy courage?
A51064what humble boasting?
A51064what patience in tribulation should this produce?
A51064what should we say?
A51064what strugling?
A51064what triumphing and rejoyceing to be offerred up a sacrifice upon the Interest of this Kings Crown?
A51064whereby the soul of him, who is thus loaded, is put out of case often for following hard after God, and so runing as he may obtain?
A51064why do you doubt, but he who hath glorified his name in others, will glorifie it again, in you?
A51064will he not heare the voice of such weeping?
A51064will there be a soul at that appearance, who dare avouch his having had a hand, in framing such a mische ● fe as our Supremacy into a Law?
A51064will you suffer him and his to hold their Assemblies in the wildernesse, in some mosse or Mountain?
A51064would he not be angry with us till he had consumed us?
A51064would you have wish ● d, that the delivery of Scotland should have gone before this your distresse?
A51064yea or vvith our heads upon us, vvhen the crovvn vvas taken from our Master''s head?
A59963& grand father?
A59963( 2) Wether we beleeve that the Testimony of every one shall be called for, in the day when God shall seek out this wickedness?
A59963( 3) I retort that old recocta Crambe, who should be Judge, whether they were their oun Lawful Kings or not?
A59963( 3) Whether, if ever it be necessary, it be not then when Christ is openly opposed, and every one is called either to concur or to testifie?
A59963( 4) Whether a Testimony against a wicked Law must not be notour?
A59963( 7) Whether we do not take it for granted, that according as a man hath Testified, the sentence of the righteous Judge shall pass?
A59963( For how otherwise can Poperie be exstirpated?
A59963( as they are at this day) shall people do nothing for the defence of it then?
A5996312. whom we are to obey and submit our selves as those who are accountable to Christ only, for to whom else can they give account of souls?
A5996314 — O happy Scotland, if thow canst now improve& not abuse this Golden opportunity?
A5996314. to the end — for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?
A599632. the people of God are reproved, for making themselves home born slaves; how?
A599636. what Dogs?
A59963635. what then?
A599638. by making Confederacies with them; what followes?
A59963Again he asked, what they meant by ouning?
A59963Again is it not plain, that the Abstract& the Concrete, the act or habit, and the subject wherein it is, can not have a contrary Denomination?
A59963An a principe peti possit confiscatio bonorum, illorum nomine& gratia, quibus persecutio intenditur?
A59963An aliquando licet occidere hominem Authoritate privata?
A59963And Elisha said unto the King of Israel, what have I to do with thee?
A59963And are not Tyrants the greatest of Thieves, that rob& destroy twenty for one of private Robbers?
A59963And do they not require this as such a sign on such a Condition?
A59963And does not a National promise of preserving the Reformation, bind as much to the curse of the breach of it?
A59963And if the fathers vow obliges the Children ▪ shall not the Nations vow oblige the posterity?
A59963And is not publick preaching indispensable Duty too?
A59963And must we onne him to be a Nursing father to the Church?
A59963And shall they be obeyed?
A59963And shall we put them upon our head, who are infamously suspected of Parricide, both projected& perpetrated?
A59963And the Destroyer of all our rights& Liberties, and all our legal securities for them, in the preservation of these rights& Liberties?
A59963And the best Expositors of the place do alle ● ge, the question& doubt of Christians then, was not so much in whom the Supremacy was?
A59963And this another, Was the killing of the Bishop of St Andrewes horrid Murther?
A59963And to set such a man over them and not such an one, if they had no influence in making one at all?
A59963And what is Anarchy, but the playing the Rex of the Natural power over the Moral?
A59963And what shall we say of his Brother succeeding, who disdains all bonds, whose professed principle is, as a Papist to keep no faith to Hereticks?
A59963And what should make the taking away of honour from the proper object to be sin, and the giving it to a wrong object to be no sin?
A59963And who dare adde without a precept in the Worship of God, either for matter, or manner, or end, what He hath not commanded?
A59963And who dare be so impudent as to deny ● his to be most reasonable& just?
A59963And who knowes not the cruel designs of the Papists now?
A59963And will not this bring doun wrath upon us from the Lord?
A59963Are men therefore obliged to oune his authority?
A59963As the question was never put to the people, whether they ouned his Authority as Lawful or not?
A59963But are not Tyrants& Usurpers haters of right?
A59963But can a subjection of this extent, be payed to a Tyrant or Usurper?
A59963But can it be imagined that all this is due to a Tyrant& Usurper?
A59963But is it not enough that they menace Heaven?
A59963But now how shall this Testimony be given by us conveniently?
A59963But shall the King also be punished?
A59963But then it will be urged, why then was that clause cast into the Covenant?
A59963But what could be their hire they gave them for it, if it was not their Taxations they payed, and money they sent unto them?
A59963But who sees not the disparity in every respect?
A59963But why are not the Reformers condemned for the same things?
A59963But will men put out their oun eyes, that they may be taken with the more tameness to grind in their Mill, and make them merry at our madness?
A59963But will the world never be a wakened out of this Dream& dotage, of Dull& stupid subjection to every Monster that can Mount a Throne?
A59963By Authority, whether did they mean the Administration of it, as now improved?
A59963By me Tyrants reign& Usurpers decree injustice?
A59963By what Authority shall Judgement be execute upon them?
A59963Can Tyrants& Usurpers be such?
A59963Can an Oath be taken in Truth& Righteousness, to assist him in all encroachments, upon Causes, that are not subordinate to him?
A59963Can he be a Father& Patron to us against our will, by the sole power of the sword?
A59963Can he be called a father, who accounts his subjects slaves?
A59963Can it be imagined, that a people acting rationally would give a power absolutely without restrictions to destroy all their oun rights?
A59963Can it be out of conscience, because he is the Lords Minister for good?
A59963Can no power at first unjust, afterward become just?
A59963Can there be any Instances of the Primitive Christians adduced?
A59963Can these Scriptures consist with the Judges dependence on the kings pleasure, in the exercise& execution of their Power?
A59963Can these be the fathers we are bound to honour in the fifth Commandment?
A59963Can they be said to be Gods among whom the Lord judgeth?
A59963Can we consent, that we& our posterity should be slaves?
A59963Can we honour them who are vile, and the vilest of men, how high soever they be exalted?
A59963Can we pray that God would bless him on a Throne of iniquity?
A59963Can we support those we are bound to suppress?
A59963Could they suppose this boundless& Lawless Creature, left at Liberty to Tyrannize, would be a fit mean to procure the the ends of Government?
A59963Could we pray, that the Lord would bless a Drunkard in his drunkenness, abusing his enjoyments?
A59963Dare any say then, that a Magistrats or Tyrants Laws can exauctorate a Minister?
A59963Do they indeed fear a forreign invasion?
A59963Emperour, or Governour?
A59963For hath not he& his Complices made the Kingdom a Curse?
A59963For the Question is not, if when they think themselves injured they may Resist?
A59963For what is Authority, but a right to rule?
A59963For, it is demanded, how doth the Son or Brother succeed?
A59963Further, let it be inquired, what makes it unimitable?
A59963God hath ordained Marriage, therefore any may cohabit together as man& wife, without formal Matrimony?
A59963Great Kings- men all of them, who despise& ● oasted them, what is this that ye do?
A59963Have they not invaded the Mediators Kingdom, and taken to themselves His House in possession?
A59963Have we lost our senses, that we may with confidence jeopard our Souls?
A59963He propones the question: If sometimes it be Lawful to kill a man by private Authority?
A59963How then can the Followers of the Lamb strike hands, be at peace, associate, confederate, or bargain with such a declared Enemy to Christ?
A59963Idolatry( sayth he in his conference with Lithington) ought not only to be suppressed, but the Idolater ought to die the death: but by whom?
A59963Iehu the Prophet is sent to him, Should thow love them that hate the Lord?
A59963Iesus or Cesar?
A59963If Kings be not among the Mighty, how shall they be classed?
A59963If the Kingdom be his by birth as an inheritance, why may he not upon necessary occasions sell his inheritance?
A59963If the first be said, they grant all I plead for: for thô the Power in general be ordained, yet what is this to Tyrants& Usurpers?
A59963If we cast at Divine Laws for Rules of Government, where wil we find better Laws?
A59963If we have been forward to assist our Neighbour Kingdoms, shall we neglect to defend our oun?
A59963In this Case then I demand, whether their impunity is necessary, because they must not be put to death?
A59963In this Case would, or durst any of the Lovers of Iesus comply with any of these demands?
A59963Is it fit to say to a King, thow art wicked?
A59963Is it not necessary that forces be maintained and such as are in publick office in the Kingdom?
A59963Is it not then both a part of the Witness of the Faithful, and of their wisdom to stand aloof from such a Plague, that hath such destructive effects?
A59963Is not this the case now?
A59963Is this our Crying?
A59963Is this our endeavour that the wicked may be brought to condign punishment?
A59963Is this our strugling?
A59963It is sure the Phisicians duty: but what if he will not?
A59963It is true this is spoken against Church- men; but will any think that will be approven in Civil Powers, which is so hateful in Church Officers?
A59963It will be easy to adduce thousands: Or shall this be satisfaction for his life, that he is a Crowned King?
A59963Lord how long shall the wicked?
A59963Must these things depend on the Magistrats Allowance?
A59963Must we beleeve, that a Religion- destroying Tyrant is a righteous Ruler?
A59963No man needs to say, who shall be Judge?
A59963Nor endeavour to kill none of that murdering Crew, because they are in his service?
A59963Now can we oune all these abommable Creatures to be Magistrates?
A59963Now how were they said to be without a Ruler, when the Chaldean actually commanded& absolutely ruled over them?
A59963Now if we require this qualification in the subordinate, why not in the Supreme?
A59963Now shall the Laws be like Spiders webs, which hold flies, but let bigger beasts pass through?
A59963Now what else was the voice of Samuel, than a disswasion?
A59963Now what hast thow to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor?
A59963Now ye shall say, we have no King, because we feared not the Lord, what then should a King do to us?
A59963Nowny agaireason can be given for his opening his windowes?
A59963O God to whom vengeance belongeth?
A59963O how amiable are His Tabernacles?
A59963One Objection is to be removed here: Can the Customs of the Iewes be binding to all Nations?
A59963One would think this behoved to be a very great favour, from a very great friend, for very gracious ends: But what is it?
A59963Or a Thief in Stealing his, though he used his purchase never so soberly?
A59963Or by refusing, expose my self to the hazard of being robbed or slain?
A59963Or can he think to be saved, when they shall be sentenced who with so much deliberation& despight have done this thing?
A59963Or disobey and suffer?
A59963Or shall the Enemies of God be more active against His cause, than His people for it?
A59963Shall I obey and be free?
A59963Shall Sentence be past for petty wrongs against a man, and none for Tyrannizing over Religion, Laws,& Liberties of the Kingdom?
A59963Shall even he that hateth right Govern?
A59963Shall even he that hateth right govern?
A59963Shall he notwithstanding of this, give what these enemies to Christ, call for as His Concurrence, to enable them to execute their wicked Contrivance?
A59963Shall it be for want of witnesses?
A59963Shall none be past against parricide or fratricide, for killing his Brother, Murdering the Nobles, and burning Cities?
A59963Shall the Throne of iniquity have fellowship with Thee that frameth mischief by a Law?
A59963Shall the Throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, that Frameth Mischief by a Law?
A59963Shall these guard the Nation, who together with Religion tread upon the poor remaining shadow of Liberty?
A59963Shall they exhort them?
A59963Shall we love the ungodly, and help those that hate the Lord?
A59963Shall we oune these, against whom the Lord hath engaged His Holiness by Oath so solemnly, that He will fish them with hooks?
A59963Shall we refuse to be slaves to one without, and be,& oune our selves contented Slaves to one with in the Kingdom?
A59963Should not we then hate that which the Lord hates, and withdraw from that which He hath forsaken?
A59963Should we again break thy Commandments,& join in affinity with the people of these abominations?
A59963Should we thus help the ungodly, and love them that hate the Lord?
A59963So when Israel saw that the King hearkened not unto them, they answered, what portion have we in David?
A59963Sulpitius Asper, being asked, why he had combined with others against Nero, and thought to have killed him?
A59963The Commands of Publick Justice, to whom are they given but to Magistrats?
A59963The Kings of Iudah made such Covenants, shall therefore all Kings do so?
A59963The Law requiring these payments being promulgate, every man must be supposed to put the question to himself, what shall I do in the case?
A59963The Negative Grounds?
A59963The first can not be said: for, that would justify all robbery: Nor the second, for where is that Law found?
A59963The question moved after the usual forme, was, Do ye onne the Authority of King Iames the 7?
A59963Then, who made him a King?
A59963Therefore what can remain, but that he must be a fiduciary Servant?
A59963They ouned him; but how?
A59963This could not be taken in Truth, Judgement,& Righteousness: for, who can tell how far that may extend, upon any pretence whatsoever?
A59963To the question then, who shall be Judge between these Usurping& Tyrannizing Rulers& us?
A59963To what purpose are these Rules given them, if they had no interest to choose their Magistrats?
A59963Was ever a fool so fettered?
A59963Was it only to let in the air?
A59963Was only that they were entysed, or did entyse them into a Communion with their Idolatry?
A59963What Command can there be for praying for that, which is against the preceptive Will of God?
A59963What are these forces and publick Officiers for?
A59963What are they employed about, but to promote the Dragons designs, and serve his drudgerie?
A59963What are we, but sillie men?
A59963What defence needs the Lord against Tyrants?
A59963What have we to Congratulate him for, but for overturning our Laws& Liberties, and oppressing us in most grievous Tyranny?
A59963What if all this should be granted?
A59963What if both King& Nobles turn enemies to Religion?
A59963What if the Royal line surcease, there be no Prophets now sent to make Kings: And if they have power in these cases, why not in the case of Tyranny?
A59963What if those in publick Authority be the Murderers?
A59963What if vve find among them Meetings, that vvere Called& Counted as Seditious& Schismatick, as Ours are novv?
A59963What is here to be reprehended?
A59963What should hinder then Justice to be awarded upon a Murdering King?
A59963What sort or size of Possession can be ouned to give a right?
A59963What then shall appease the wrath of God, for the unp ● ralelled breach of Covenant with God in our day?
A59963What?
A59963When it is an evil time, the evil of sin is incumbent, and the evil of wrath is impendent over a Land; then the Lyon hath roared who will not fear?
A59963Where was there ever such an arbitrary& absolute power arrogated by any Mortal, as hath been claimed by our Rulers these years past?
A59963Whereupon this became a Criminal question robbing many of their Lives, Was the rising at Bothwel- bridge Rebellion and a sin against God?
A59963Wherewithall shall the Nation be guarded against forreign invasion?
A59963Whether it must be taken in that of the Imposers, practically explained by their administrations?
A59963Whither publick or private?
A59963Who durst concur then in this Complyance, who had love to Christ in exercise, and who had his friends in the same bottom imbarqued?
A59963Why should not the young Lyons roar upon them, and make their Land wast?
A59963Why should not they be spoyled?
A59963Why then shall the Representatives betraying their Trust, wrong the Cause of the people, whose Trustees they are?
A59963Will Mischiefs framed into a Law, warrant such iniquity?
A59963Will they mock us into the same Rebellion with themselves?
A59963Will ye( quoth she) allow they shall take my Sword in their hand?
A59963Would God command them to set a King over them, if they had not power to do it?
A59963Would Samuel write in a Book the rules of Tyranny, to teach to oppress, contrary to the Law of God?
A59963Would any that favoured Davids righteous Cause, have dared to do any of these?
A59963Would men be hindered by Law, from seeking their natural food?
A59963Would not this be wickedness thus to pray for Thieves& Robbers?
A59963Would these that durst not concur themselves, contribute any encouragment to the Concurers?
A59963Yea what is he that ought not to fear to take, either in his hand or fore head, the mark of that odious Beast?
A59963Yea when it was voted in the General Assembly, whether they might take the Queens Mass from her?
A59963],[ Edinburgh?
A59963a Father to these that are unwilling to be Sons?
A59963an head over such as will not be members?
A59963and He that keepeth thy Soul doth not He know it, and shall not He render to every man according to his works?
A59963and a defender through violence?
A59963and for what end was it ordained, and continued among men, but that the stronger may not domineer over the weaker?
A59963and his father?
A59963and how can we oune that Authority, that is wholly employed& applied for the destruction of Religion?
A59963and in invading all those Priviledges of Subjects, which are Natural, Civil, Moral,& Religious?
A59963and not rather chuse to perish with Him, or in opposition to such wicked attempts?
A59963and submit to them whom we are bound to extirpate?
A59963and to Princes, ye are ungodly?
A59963and what have yow to do to make a Covenant with the Assyrian?
A59963and why should not Christians shew by their deeds, that they honour such as fear the Lord,& contemn a vile Person?
A59963and wilt thow condemn him that is most just?
A59963as the Minister of God, not to be resisted or revolted from under pain of damnation?
A59963as whether Christians were at all bound to obey Civil power, especially Pagan?
A59963by what right?
A59963can Presbyterians swear that Allegiance, which is substitute in the place of the broken& burnt Covenant?
A59963do they declare they will stone our Husband?
A59963for which of His good deeds is this done) And shall they make a Law whereby we shall be obliged to furnish them with stones to do it?
A59963have not we the Kings Letter for it?)
A59963how long shall the wicked Triumph?
A59963i. e. Whither the confiscation of goods can be sought back again from a Prince, in the name and behalf of these who are forfaulted for Religion?
A59963if Cesars Authority were from bad beginings, did therefore Christ untruly say it was from above?
A59963if so, then he was not satisfied with it: or the right as now established?
A59963if they must only stand by and be spectators of their omissions unconcerned, What shall they do to evite this wrath?
A59963is it the cause of their punishment?
A59963or a Pilot, who doth allwise study to make shipwrack of the goods, and strikes a leak in the very ship where he sails?
A59963or a Shepherd, who does not feed but devours his flock?
A59963or an act of a King of Clay rescind the Mandats of the King of Kings?
A59963or because they can not be put to death?
A59963or can not?
A59963or can they be done without meeting together in private or publick?
A59963or exempt people from obedience due thereunto?
A59963or how otherwise can we cleanse the Land of their sins?)
A59963or in any other sense, alledged more Legal?
A59963or ought he not rather to be delivered up even by the Son to Justice?
A59963or ouned for a Sacred Majestie?
A59963or shall the subjects calling in all from 60 to 16, be able to support the Throne?
A59963or silence him by his oun proper elicite acts, as King or Tyrant, or formally& immediately?
A59963or that Antichrist, or one of his Limbs, should be employed in the Churches deliverance, while such?
A59963or that He will trust them away, as a man must be fenced against thorns?
A59963or that Whores of State are not to be called to an account?
A59963or that the Declaration does assert any such thing?
A59963or there be no Phisician?
A59963or was it to see Ierusalem out at these windowes?
A59963or what hast thow to do in the way of Assyria?
A59963or whether they might suffer their Brethren to be murdered in their presence, without any declaration that such Tyrannie displeased them?
A59963shall not a man defend himself?
A59963shall therefore they Govern?
A59963shall we split twice upon the same rock?
A59963that is palpable: Is it the Law which adjudges them to punishment?
A59963the Lord God hath spoken, who can but Prophesie?
A59963the Magistrate or people?
A59963the contrary is clear, that he is the Devils drudge serving his Interest; Is resistance to Tyrants a damnable sin?
A59963what by ouning Authority?
A59963what if he command a Massacre?
A59963what is he then that bears Command, not for the peoples advantage, but studies only himself, who leadeth his subjects into manifest snares?
A59963what is that that thow hast done?
A59963what new habit or endewment is produced in him?
