 1 [Title]|          great restorer, our present King William; to make good his
 2 [Title]|            his wonderful system. The king, and body of the nation,
 3 25     |             very clear, that God, as king David says, Psal. cxv. 16.
 4 41     |        conveniencies we enjoy: and a king of a large and fruitful
 5 74(*)  |            was always, as it were, a king: so when numbers of housholds
 6 105    |           the heir of their deceased king; yet if they find him any
 7 108    |        devolves the command into the king's sole authority.~
 8 109    |     Abimelech particularly is called king, though at most he was but
 9 109    |         children of Israel desired a king, like all the nations to
10 109    |            if the only business of a king had been to lead out their
11 109    |          solemnly chosen and saluted king by the tribes at Mispah,
12 109    |          unwilling to have him their king, made no other objection
13 109    |          this man is unfit to be our king, not having skill and conduct
14 109    |            submit to him as to their king, that he was in effect their
15 109    |          that he was in effect their king in Saul's time, and therefore
16 109    |              to receive him as their king now. Also (say they) in
17 109    |             time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that
18 118    |         whose subject is he? Not the king of England's; for he must
19 118    |            privileges of it: nor the king of France's; for how then
20 133    |              which I find it used by king James the first; and I take
21 167    |       certainly a prerogative of the king, but still with this trust,
22 194    |           rent? Can any one say, the king, or conqueror, after his
23 196    |              he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him
24 196    |       deposed him, and made Hezekiah king in his father's lifetime;
25 200    |              hope the authority of a king will make it pass with him.
26 200    |          will make it pass with him. King James the first, in his
27 200    |             a point wherein a lawful king doth directly differ from
28 200    |           that is between a rightful king and an usurping tyrant,
29 200    |               the righteous and just king doth by the contrary acknowledge
30 200    |             he hath these words, The king binds himself by a double
31 200    |               tacitly, as by being a king, and so bound to protect
32 200    |         coronation, so as every just king, in a settled kingdom, is
33 200    |           remaineth. And therefore a king governing in a settled kingdom,
34 200    |              kingdom, leaves to be a king, and degenerates into a
35 200    |      commonwealth. Thus that learned king, who well understood the
36 200    |             the difference betwixt a king and a tyrant to consist
37 202    |             no more justifiable in a king than a constable; but is
38 206    |     privilege, belonging only to the king's person, hinders not, but
39 206    |             case of him that has the king's writ to arrest a man,
40 206    |             full commission from the king; and yet he that has it
41 206    |          execute this command of the king upon certain days, nor in
42 206    |              any one transgress, the king's commission excuses him
43 206    |             excuses him not: for the king's authority being given
44 206    | notwithstanding such resistance, the king's person and authority are
45 223    |            to our old legislative of king, lords and commons: and
46 232    |          some cases, to resist their king; and that too in a chapter,
47 233    |            families reduced by their king to ruin, and all the miseries
48 233    |          community, even against the king himself: but to revenge
49 233    |           that law. Wherefore if the king shall shew an hatred, not
50 233    |           must not revenge it on the king, though author of the villany.
51 235    |             to be lawful to resist a king in any case. But he there
52 235    |         assigns two cases, whereby a king may un-king himself. His
53 237    |             arms, and set upon their king, imperiously domineering
54 237    |             all, whilst he remains a king. Honour the king, and he
55 237    |           remains a king. Honour the king, and he that resists the
56 237    |              makes him cease to be a king: for then he divests himself
57 237    |              before they crowned him king, devolving to them again.
58 237    |          there are, I say, whereby a king, ipso facto, becomes no
59 237    |               ipso facto, becomes no king, and loses all power and
60 237    |           designs as these, when any king harbours in his thoughts,
61 238    |            The other case is, When a king makes himself the dependent
62 239    |              forced to allow, that a king may be resisted, and ceases
63 239    |         resisted, and ceases to be a king. That is, in short, not
64 239    |            authority, there he is no king, and may be resisted: for
65 239    |            the authority ceases, the king ceases too, and becomes
66 239    |     preservation of property. When a king has dethroned himself, and
67 239    |            prosecuting him who is no king, as they would any other
68 239    |             these (says he) when any king harbours in his thoughts
