A47289* Facinus est vinciri civem Rom ● num; scelus verberari; quid dicam in crucem tollere?
A47289*''T is a great offence, to bind a Roman; a more heinous one to scourge him; and what name can be hard enough for the Crucifixion of him?
A47289And accordingly, when Persecution comes, whose business is to force away these worldly goods from Religion, it asks, What will become of Religion?
A47289And if our Governors have no Authority for their Invasion: since we are to be subject only to Authority, is there any Obligation on us for Submission?
A47289And may we not make Resistance, against unautoritative Acts?
A47289And on the other hand, to abate the advantage of worldly Peace and Possessions, are not they too liable to carnalize and corrupt the Spirits of men?
A47289And what doth his Autority give him, as to that particular illegal Act?
A47289And what if there is something, to bar such Resistance, in the Person?
A47289And what is it, that a Civil Law doth, towards this way of its Defence?
A47289And what redress for the Invasions and breach of Laws, when they do amiss?
A47289And when were they more, or better, in the places where Christianity prevail''d, than in those first and persecuting Ages?
A47289BUT when our Rulers invade us against Right, say* some, What Authority is there in their Invasions?
A47289But if the King has no Autority, to justifie the illegal Suffering; has he any Autority, to bar the illegal Sufferers resisting?
A47289But what becomes of submission, when they fall thus to resisting?
A47289But what doth his Autority give, to the illegal Act, or Order?
A47289But what is this Defence of Courts, by being a Civil Right, to Natural Defence, or defending it by Force of Arms?
A47289Do not the worldly Possessions, which were design''d to encourage men in the way and ministry of Religion, too oft steal their hearts away from it?
A47289Doth it authorize the Subjects in an illegal thing?
A47289Doth the Law give him Autority to break it self?
A47289For when they said, have we not charged you over and over, that you should not teach in this Name?
A47289For when was it ever better for the Church, than in the first Ages, when they run thro the most, and forest Persecutions?
A47289For whence must that Law have such Authority?
A47289For where are the Crosses, what place for Patience, or what provocation to Resistance, under the Maintainers of Rights or righteous Rulers?
A47289Has any Man Authority to invade our Rights?
A47289If a Man suffers illegally, they will demand by what Law?
A47289If it be asked, What is a Kings Autority, when he doth such illegal Acts?
A47289If we stick at this, say some, what will become of our Ministry, and the exercise thereof?
A47289If, when ye suffer for your faults, ye take that patiently, what glory is it to you?
A47289Is it from God?
A47289Is it lawful for you, says he, as they bound him with Thongs, to scourge a Man that is a Roman, and uncondemn''d?
A47289Is not that best for the Church, which makes the most and the best good Christians?
A47289It may be asked still, has he it from the Law of the Land?
A47289Nay, if we come to make Comparisons, where are the Sayings against it, under any such Kings, so numerous and express?
A47289Not from God; for if his Law carries his Autority,( and where doth he display his Autority, if not in his Laws?)
A47289The Cup, which my Father hath given me, shall I not Drink it?
A47289Unde qui inter duas Laurus obsident Caesarem?
A47289Were not those times, a continual, and vast increase, of fresh Converts?
A47289Were they not all from among your selves, Heathen Romans, but no Christians?

A47289What would these worldly wise men have said, had they lived in the days of Christ and his Apostles?
A47289What, from the Law he invades?
A47289Whence came those Crosses, so much as from the Persecuting Powers?
A47289Whence were the Adherents of Cassius, and Niger, and Albinus?
A47289Whence, say they, in an illegal Act, has a Sovereign Prince this Autority?
A47289or make the Law, which forbids it, cease to be a Rule to them?
A47289with Parthenius and Sigerius, who Conspired against Domitian?
A47289† Ob quam causam, Dii immortales?
A47289† Unde Cassii,& Nigri,& Albini?
A5979321, 22, 23 v. Art thou called, being a servant?
A59793And allow that saying of David to be Scripture still, Who can stretch forth his hand against the Lord''s Anointed, and be guiltless?
A59793And as for the new Covenant, where does that grant any new franchises and liberties to subjects?
A59793And how could so innocent a person die, but by the hands of unjust and Tyrannical powers?
A59793And the cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it?
A59793And what follows from hence?
A59793And who were these powers St. Peter resisted?
A59793But does not the Apostle expresly tell them, Ye are bought with a price, be not ye the servants of men?
A59793But how should these subordinate Governours come by this power to resist their Prince?
A59793But how then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
A59793But now is it likely, that if David had had any designe to have fortified Keilah against Saul, he would have been afraid of the men of the Citie?
A59793But was the Doctrine of resistance more scandalous ▪ than the Doctrine of the Cross?
A59793But what follows from hence?
A59793But what is it they would prove from these words?
A59793But what is this now to us?
A59793But what now is all this to subjection to Soveraign Princes?
A59793But would it not also have made more converts?
A59793But you will say, What is this to such an absolute subjection to Princes as includes Non- resistance in it?
A59793By him?
A59793By what Law then?
A59793Can there be no wise reason given, why God may advance a bad man to be a Prince?
A59793Did his doing well, make it ill for us to do as he did?
A59793Did they think this so scandalous a Doctrine, that they were afraid or ashamed to publish it to the world?
A59793Does he set any narrower bounds or limits, than what the Heathen Princes challenged?
A59793Does the Apostle exhort the Christians too to throw off the civil powers?
A59793For indeed, can any thing be plainer than our Saviour''s answer?
A59793For indeed, how can people, who have no power of Government themselves, give that power, which they have not?
A59793For is the power of victorious Rebels and Usurpers from God?
A59793For what authoritie has a wicked and persecuting Law?
A59793For what does the discontent of the greatest Ministers signifie, who can raise no forces to oppose their Prince?
A59793For what glory is it, if when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye take it patiently?
A59793For when they had chose a King, did God cease to be the King of Israel?
A59793How does it follow, that because Princes are chose by the people, therefore they derive their power from them, and are accountable to them?
A59793How now does David behave himself in this extremity?
A59793How then can you prove from the duty of praying for Kings, that it is in no case lawful to resist them?
A59793My other question is this, Whether a Prince have any more authority to make wicked and persecuting Laws, than to persecute without Law?
A59793Now how does the death of Christ, by expiating our sins, deliver us from subjection to our civil Governours?
A59793Now what is it, that makes the person of a King more inviolable and unaccountable than other men?
A59793Now why should he entertain these men, but to defend himself against the forces of Saul?
A59793Or that Christ, when he made us free, did deliver us from the subjection of men?
A59793Shall he who was so famous for miracles, who gave eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame?
A59793Tell us therefore, what thinkest thou?
A59793The Apostle tells us, that the King is supreme; but over whom is he supreme?
A59793The Case of mixt Communion: Whether it be Lawful to Separate from a Church upon the account of promiscuous Congregations and mixt Communions?
A59793Therefore?
A59793This example Iezebel threatned Iehu with: Had Zimri peace, who slew his master?
A59793What can be said more expresly against resistance than this?
A59793What course does he take to secure himself from Saul?
A59793What shall it profit a man, though he should gain the whole world, which is something more than a single Crown and Kingdom, and loose his own Soul?
A59793Whence then does an illegal act or Judgement derive its authoritie and obligation?
A59793Where the word of a King is, there is power; and who may say unto him, What dost thou?
A59793Whether God can not by a great many unknown ways, determine the choice of the people, to that Person, whom he has before chosen himself?
A59793Whether God does nothing, but what he does by an immediate power?
A59793Whether he can not appoint and choose an Emperor, unless he does it by a Voice from Heaven, or sends an Angel to set the Crown upon his head?
A59793Whether the Laws of God and Nature be not as sacred and inviolable as the Laws of our Country?
A59793Which is the greatest and most merciless Tyrant?
A59793Who are most likely to abuse their power?
A59793Why he was born of mean and obscure parents, and chose a poor and industrious life, and an accursed and infamous death?
A59793Will you lift up your hand against God?
A59793Would this have offended Princes, and make them more implacable enemies to Christianitie?
A59793a Covetous and Rapacious Prince, or an insolent Army, and hungry Rabble?
A59793a Nero or Dioclesian, or a pitcht Battel?
A59793an Hereditary Prince, or the People, who are fond of innovations?
A59793an arbitrary and lawless Prince, or a Civil War?
A59793and can any thing be a Doctrine of the Gospel, which is truly scandalous?
A59793and did he not receive the Laws and Rules of Government from him?
A59793and does our praying for them, make it unlawful to resist and oppose their unjust violence?
A59793and how can this be maintained, but by a Revenue proportionable to the expence?
A59793and how soon would this have made the Doctrine of Non- resistance useless and out of date, by making Christians powerful enough to resist?
A59793and who gave it this authoritie?
A59793are we not bound to pray for all our Enemies and Persecutors?
A59793by God?
A59793by whom?
A59793can not we pray for any man, without making him our absolute and Soverain Lord?
A59793did Oliver Cromwell receive his power from God?
A59793does it hence follow, therefore we may resist and oppose them, if they do?
A59793does not he know how to rule us?
A59793for can the Apostle be thought absolutely to condemn resistance, if he makes it only unlawful to resist when we want power to conquer?
A59793how does an illegal sentence pronounced by a Judge, come to have any Authoritie?
A59793how to chuse a Prince for us?
A59793is it lawful to give Tribute to Caesar, or not?
A59793is not the Prince as much bound to observe the Laws of God and Nature, as the Laws of his Country?
A59793or ask him, Why hast thou done so?
A59793or of whose hands have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith?
A59793or whom have I defrauded?
A59793or whose Ass have I taken?
A59793some illegal Taxes, or Plunderings, Decimations, and Sequestrations?
A59793that Non- resistance is no duty, because it may possibly be attended with evil consequences?
A59793that our subjection to men is inconsistent with our freedom in Christ?
A59793the Prince, or the people?
A59793to be the slaves and Vassals, the scorn and the Triumph of insolent Tyrants?
A59793was it impossible for Infinite wisdom to have laid a more glorious and triumphant scene of our redemption?
A59793was not the King God''s Anointed?
A59793was not their King Gods Minister and Vicegerent, as their Rulers and Judges were before?
A59793was there no possible way, but the condescension and sufferings of his own Son?
A59793were we born for this very end, to suffer death by Herods and Pontius Pilates?
A59793what agreement is there between civil government, and publick Justice and a Tyrant?
A59793what authoritie has any Prince to make Laws against the Laws of God?
A59793wherefore?
A59793which is the greatest oppression of the Subject?
A59793which will destroy most mens Lives?
A59793who is most likely to make a change and alteration in government?
A59793who will devour most Estates?
A59793whom have I oppressed?
A59793will you cast off his authority and government too?
A3569714. when thou shalt say, I will set a King over me, if it were not their Right and Power to make a King?
A3569718. but to demonstrate that that King is rightly and lawfully constituted King whom the People chuse?
A3569720. and therefore put that captious question to him, is it lawful to give Tribute to Caesar or is it not?
A3569733. and shall we give such encouragement to break Laws and to work Wickedness, God forbid?
A356974. did Saul a King sin against David a private person, and his Subject, in seeking his innocent Blood?
A35697Absit?
A35697After the Roman Custom, vultis, jubetis hunc regnare?
A35697Again, How shall I give thee up O Ephraim?
A35697And can not Kings do the same, whether their power be absolute from God, or delegated from the People?
A35697And did not one fashion us in the Womb?
A35697And hath he not published it in the hand of a Mediator?
A35697And is it not lawful, nay, the duty of all States and Kingdoms to make the like Appeals and Supplications to God Almighty?
A35697And shall David when King covet his Neighbour Uriah''s Wife, and seek the innocent Blood of Uriah himself, and yet not sin against Uriah?
A35697And shall a free People, whole Nations, be left to merciless Tyrants without Remedy?
A35697And what is this but to take an account of the discharge of his Majesty''s Trust?
A35697And why so solemnly to be made before the Lord in the House of God, if not intended to be kept?
A35697And why?
