Conscience eased: or, the main scruple which hath hitherto stuck most with conscionable men, against the taking of the Engagement, removed. Where amongst other things is shewed, first, how farre the oath of allegiance, and the nationall League and Covenant are obligations; either in their legall intents unalterable; or at this time no more binding and alterable. Secondly, how farre in a free people the subordinate officers of the state, have a right to judge of the proceedings of a thing in that state. Thirdly, how Zedekia'es case in breaking his oath to the king of Babylon, and our case in making use of our freedome from the oath of allegiance, and supremacie to the king of England doe differ. The author, John Drury.
