He comes to examples, as first, the peoples rescuing of Jonathan from Saul. He says, 1the people were in Arms already, and did but use a loving violence.
He comes to examples, as first, the peoples rescuing of Jonathan from Saul. He sayes, 1the people were in Arms already, and did but use a loving violence.
This example is only brought to prove that Subjects may withstand illegal commands of Kings, and no further, and that it plainly proves; only, he says, it is a loving 1violence. Well then, it is a violence; they resolve that the Kings command shall not be fulfilled, yea though he adds an oath to it. It was indeed a loving violence to Jonathan; so is all the violence that the Parliament offers, a loving violence to the Kingdom, yea and there is true love to the King too in it. The King hath not yet sworn that he will have such things as the Parl. will not suffer, so as to come to our cognizance; but Saul swore that he would have such a thing done, and yet the people would not suffer it to be done, and yet you dare not blame them for this, nay you commend them for it.
