The burthen of Issachar: or, The tyrannical power and practices of the Presbyteriall government in Scotland; : in their [brace] I. Parochiall session. II. Presbyterie. III. Provinciall synods. IV. Generall assembly. With the articles of Presbyterian faith inconsistent with monarchie. Whereby it is evident, that Presbyteriall fingers are heavier than Episcopall loynes; these correcting with a rod, those with a scorpion. And therefore it is not the kingdome and government of Jesus Christ, whose yoake is easie, his burthen light, and his scepter a scepter of righteousnesse.

The letter which was sent to the author of the doctrine of passive obedience and jure divino disproved, &c. answered and refuted : wherein is proved, that monarchy was not originally from God. That kings are not by divine appointment, but that all government proceeds from the people. That the obedience required in Scripture, is to the laws of the land, and no otherwise. That resisting of arbitary power is lawful. That the oath of allegiance to to the late King James was dissolved before the Prince of Orange (our present King) landed. That upon the non-performance of an oath on one side, the other becomes void, is plainly prov'd from several examples in scripture. That protection is the only cause of allegiance, and that obedience or allegiance is due to the present government is proved from Scripture, law and reason; and those texts of scriptures which relate to government, or monarchy, are explained.

The resolving of conscience, upon this question : whether upon such a supposition or case, as is now usually made, (The King will not discharge his trust but is bent or seduced to subvert religion, laws, and liberties.), subjects may take arms and resist? and whether that case be now? : resolved, I. That no conscience upon such a supposition or case can finde a safe and cleare ground for such resistance II. That no man in conscience can be truly perswaded, that the resistance now made is such, as they themselves pretend to, that plead for it in such a case, III. That no man in conscience can be truly perswaded that such a case is now, that is, that the King will not discharge his trust but is bent to subvert, &c., whence it followeth, that the resistance now made against the higher power is unwarrantable and according to the Apostle damnable, Rom. 13, also that the shedding of bloud in the pursuit of this resistance is murder /
