summary:
  The King never ceases to be a King till he ceases to be a Man ; and it is a contradiction in terminis , that the next Heir , should be at the same time King : For if he be actually King , he is no Heir ; and while he is an Heir , he is no King. Besides , considering the distance of time between Richard II. and Edward IV. which was 60 Yeras probably erasing them would not quit Cost , nor be tanti , in comparison of the Smoak and Puther those Agitations might raise , between King and People ; to prevent which , the Wisdom of those latter Definitions ( you speak of ) is Conspicuous , and has been Successfull to the Peace and Welfare of the Kingdom .

  And these Laws have been put in the form of an Oath , which all that have born any Imployment either in Church or State ●ave sworn ; And ther●fore ●h●se Laws , ●or the assu●eing ●ur Liberties , do indeed bind the Kings conscience , and may af●●ct his Ministers ; y●t since it is a M●x●m of our Law , t●at the King can do no wrong , these cannot be carried so far as to justifie our taking Arms against him , be the trans●r●ssions of Law e●er so many and so manifest : And since this has be●n the consta●t Doctrine of the Church of England , it will be a very h●avy Imputation on us , if it appears , that tho we held these opinions , as long as the Court and the Crown have favoured us , ●et as soon as the Court turns against us , we change o●r Principles . 1. It is certain that the Law of Nature has put no difference nor subordina●ion among Men , except it be that of Children to Parents , or of Wives to their Husbands ; So that with Relation to the Law of Nature , all Men a●e born free ; And this Libert● must still be supposed Entire , unless so far as it is limited by Contracts , Provisions and Laws ; For a Man can ei●her bind himsel● to be a Servant , or sell himself to be a Slave , by which he becomes in the power of another , only so far as it was provided by the Contract :

  Independency examined, vnmasked, refuted, by twelve new particular interrogatories: detecting both the manifold absurdities, inconveniences that must necessarily attend it, to the great disturbance of church, state, the diminution, subversion of the lawfull undoubted power of all christian magistrates, parliaments, synods: and shaking the chiefe pillars, wherwith its patrons would support it. / By William Prynne of Lincolnes Inne, Esquier.

summary:
  If the people alone without the Minister , or both conjoyned , then you invest every Independent Conventicle , consisting of never so few inconsiderable ignorant members , with a greater legislative power , and ecclesiasticall authority , then you allow to whole Nationall Parliaments , Councels , consisting of most eminent , learned , pious persons of all sorts ; who by your New doctrine have no jurisdiction at all to make or enjoyne any forme of church-government , covenant , ecclesiasticall lawes or canons , to any particular churches : as if the eminentest Ministers and members of churches , by becomming members of Parliaments or Councels , did thereby forfeit and lose the right or exercise of that power , in those great representative bodies of the whole Kingdome and church of England , which you readily allow both them and others in every private church or Conventicle : A most strange and senselesse whimsie .

summary:
  And finally witness the example of Mr. Williams o a Barrister of the Middle Temple , who was executed in King Iames his Reign for writing a defamatory Book , against the said King and his Posterity . St. Gregory of Tours understood this rightly , when he did thus address himself to a King of France , Si quis de nobis , &c. s If any of us ( O King ) do transgress the Laws , thou hast power to punish him ; but it thou goest beyond thy limits , who can punish thee ? We tell thee of thy faults as occasion serves , and when thou listest to give ear , thou dost hearken to us : Which if thou shouldest refuse to do , who shall judg thee for it , but he that calls himself by the name of Justice .

  Seasonable reflections on a late pamphlet entituled A history of passive obedience since the Reformation wherein the true notion of passive obedience is settled and secured from the malicious interpretations of ill-designing men.

summary:
  But after all the praises and commendations of the generality of Mankind , and those coming freely and sincerely upon the supposition of true Interest , without design of daubing or flattering the great and the proud : must ( I say ) this Man after all this be thrown into Hell , and damned as one of the worst of Miscreants ? Such judgments as these will confound the genuine and most delightful Idea's that Men have of God's Goodness , and Wisdom ; they may serve perhaps to adorn a Discourse for absolute Reprobation , or upon the excellency of damning for damnings sake , without regard to Sin ; but they can have little other use for glory to God , or Man ; for good of King or People . If then men will have us to say , that Power comes from God , and only from God , we may well allow it ; because we know that Nature , and an inclination to sociable living , and Order come from God , and only from him ; all these are good , and God is the Giver of all good things ; and besides , we find so much of goodness both for King and People in this National Constitution , that we may well think that God , himself , by his Providence ▪ did influence our Fore-Fathers to agree , and fix upon it .

  The case of resistance of the supreme powers stated and resolved according to the doctrine of the Holy Scriptures by Will. Sherlock ...

summary:
  Indeed I find some Learned men mistaken in this matter ; for they take it for granted , that what Samuel here calls the manner of the King , is such an abuse of power , as God had expresly forbid to Kings in the 17 of Deuter. Had the Apostle exhorted the Romans after this manner : Let no private and single man be so foolish , as to rebel against his Prince , who will be too strong for him : but if you can raise sufficient forces to oppose against him , if you can all consent to Depose or Murder him , this is very innocent and justifiable , nay an Heroical Atchievement , which becomes a free-born people : How would this secure the peace and quiet of the world ? how would this have agreed with what follows , that Princes are advanced by God , and that to resist our Prince , is to resist the Ordinance of God , and that such men shall be severely punisht for it in this world or the next ? for can the Apostle be thought absolutely to condemn resistance , if he makes it only unlawful to resist when we want power to conquer ? Which yet is all that can be made of it , if by every Soul the Apostle means only particular men , not the united force and power of Subjects . Nor can there be any reason assigned , why the Apostle should lay so strict a command on particular Christians to be subject to the higher Powers , which does not equally concern whole Nations .

  And farther he affirms , That if they wink at Kings wilfully ranging over and treading down the poor Commonalty , their dissembling is not without wicked breach of Faith , because they deceitfully betray the Liberty of the People , whereof they know themselves to be Protectors , appointed by the Ordinance of God. AN ADMONITION TO ALL Christian EMPERORS , KINGS , PRINCES , &c. ALL Emperors , Kings , Princes and Governors , ought most seriously to consider , That tho' by the Providence of God , and good will and choice of Men , they are set on high , yet they are not Kings and Lords and Princes in their own right , and in such manner as that they are not obliged to acknowledge a Superior Dominion .
