Povvers to be resisted: or A dialogue arguing the Parliaments lawfull resistance of the powers now in armes against them; and that archbishops, bishops, curates, neuters, all these are to be cut off by the law of God; therefore to be cast out by the law of the land. Very necessary and usefull for the information of the ignorant, confirmation of the weake, stablishing of the strong, convincing of the froward, in the clearing, resolving, and stating the legality of the Covenant, and this present warre. Also an answere to this quere, How farre religion may be defende by the law of armes? being a thing much questioned by some. Here is also a fit answere to Dr Ferns late answer, such as God hath commanded to be given unto him, who (in the title and close of his book) hath exalted his folly, and his wickednesse before the face of all the Christian world.
