The truth is, they do but in this Army now on foot under the command of the Earle of Essex send for those Delinquents that have been obnoxious to the State: and to deny them such a power as this, is to deny them the very being of a Parliament: For by the same reason that they may send one Serjeant at Arms for one, they may send one thousand for one thousand.

Then the Doctor tells us, That it is a marvellous thing that among so many Prophets reprehending the Kings of Israel for Idolatry, cruelty, and oppression, none should call upon the Elders of the people for this duty of resistance.
Ans. I cannot but wonder at the Dr. his marvelling: For what ca• be more plain then that Text, 2 Kings 6. 32. But Elisha sate in his house an• the Elders sate with him, and the King sent a man from before him, &c. bu• when the messenger came to him, he said to the Elders, see how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away my head, look when the messenger cometh shut th• door, and hold him fast at the door. The Dr. wonders if resistance wer• lawful, why no Prophet should call upon the Elders of the people fo• this duty of resistance, here is the Prophet Elisha calling on the Elders to imprison the Kings messenger.
