and_o the_o liberty_n thereof_o by_o papist_n atheist_n newter_n or_o man_n of_o no_o religion_n that_o seek_v after_o preferment_n and_o authority_n by_o cog_a flatter_a and_o lie_v and_o not_o by_o

do_v not_o only_o abuse_v the_o king_n under_o pretence_n of_o his_o prerogative_n royal_a but_o do_v thereby_o falsify_v the_o truth_n of_o it_o for_o they_o do_v describe_v the_o king_n prerogative_n in_o this_o manner_n say_v that_o his_o majesty_n may_v by_o his_o prerogative_n command_v the_o good_n the_o chattel_n and_o the_o life_n of_o any_o his_o subject_n inhabit_v within_o his_o kingdom_n and_o dominion_n and_o that_o be_v false_a which_o you_o shall_v see_v anon_o now_o see_v that_o antichrist_n his_o brood_n can_v make_v bold_a to_o describe_v a_o prerogative_n royal_a in_o a_o false_a manner_n to_o set_v the_o king_n and_o his_o subject_n at_o variance_n i_o do_v think_v it_o not_o only_o necessary_a but_o also_o of_o necessity_n for_o a_o christian_n subject_n to_o describe_v the_o truth_n of_o a_o prerogative_n royal_a thereby_o to_o set_v peace_n between_o the_o king_n and_o his_o subject_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o give_v his_o blessing_n thereunto_o and_o now_o to_o the_o matter_n what_o the_o king_n prerogative_n be_v as_o namely_o that_o the_o king_n be_v subject_a to_o none_o but_o to_o god_n so_o that_o he_o may_v have_v command_n of_o the_o subject_n whatsoever_o thing_n necessary_a and_o necessity_n do_v require_v so_o far_o forth_o as_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o prerogative_n do_v extend_v object_n then_o the_o king_n may_v command_v or_o require_v whatsoever_o the_o malignant_a party_n aforesaid_a have_v speak_v of_o before_o answ_n no_o for_o as_o the_o king_n be_v subject_a to_o none_o but_o to_o god_n so_o he_o be_v subject_a only_a to_o god_n alone_o and_o for_o to_o give_v a_o account_n unto_o god_n for_o all_o his_o work_n whether_o good_a or_o evil_n so_o that_o the_o office_n of_o a_o king_n as_o it_o be_v the_o great_a dignity_n and_o honour_n in_o all_o the_o world_n so_o it_o be_v a_o heavy_a burden_n be_v well_o consider_v and_o flatterer_n enchanter_n or_o spiritual_a witch_n will_v make_v it_o more_o heavy_a if_o god_n in_o his_o mercy_n do_v not_o defend_v he_o from_o those_o wicked_a fiend_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v a_o prerogative_n royal_a do_v stand_v upon_o three_o point_n or_o architect_n that_o be_v to_o say_v foundation_n supportation_n and_o obligation_n even_o so_o do_v the_o prerogative_n royal_a stand_v upon_o the_o foundation_n of_o truth_n supportation_n of_o judgement_n obligation_n or_o bond_n of_o righteousness_n now_o if_o any_o of_o these_o three_o point_n be_v want_v in_o architect_n the_o building_n can_v stand_v even_o so_o likewise_o in_o a_o prerogative_n royal_a it_o stand_v as_o aforesaid_a upon_o these_o three_o point_n but_o after_o a_o mystical_a manner_n as_o first_o the_o foundation_n of_o truth_n second_o the_o suportation_n of_o judgement_n and_o three_o the_o bond_n of_o righteousness_n and_o these_o three_o point_n have_v god_n command_v the_o king_n prerogative_n to_o stand_v upon_o as_o first_o in_o the_o book_n of_o deuteronomie_n the_o 17._o chap._n the_o 18.19_o and_o 20._o verse_n give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o king_n must_v be_v godly_a and_o religious_a who_o affection_n must_v be_v still_o to_o obey_v the_o truth_n the_o will_n and_o the_o word_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o may_v be_v a_o discerner_n of_o truth_n from_o falsehood_n and_o and_o not_o to_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o every_o wind_n of_o false_a doctrine_n as_o many_o king_n be_v the_o second_o point_n that_o the_o prerogative_n be_v uphold_v by_o be_v judgement_n for_o if_o a_o man_n have_v never_o so_o good_a foundation_n in_o the_o truth_n yet_o if_o he_o have_v no_o judgement_n to_o support_v the_o truth_n aright_o whereby_o do_v proceed_v matter_n of_o true_a faith_n as_o good_a not_o know_v the_o truth_n for_o without_o truth_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v god_n even_o so_o the_o king_n prerogative_n must_v have_v judgement_n to_o uphold_v the_o truth_n for_o he_o that_o have_v not_o true_a judgement_n be_v subject_a to_o many_o error_n and_o fall_n into_o heresy_n and_o be_v always_o apt_a and_o ready_a to_o be_v delude_v and_o miserable_o detain_v the_o three_o point_n upon_o which_o a_o good_a building_n do_v consist_v be_v peace_n obligation_n and_o a_o sound_a band_n for_o in_o architect_n the_o foundation_n the_o supportation_n be_v never_o so_o firm_a to_o show_v yet_o if_o it_o have_v not_o good_a band_n to_o hold_v it_o outward_a together_o it_o will_v soon_o fall_v and_o be_v ruinate_v even_o so_o stand_v the_o case_n of_o a_o prerogative_n royal_a if_o it_o have_v not_o truth_n and_o have_v truth_n have_v not_o judgement_n and_o have_v judgement_n have_v not_o the_o bond_n of_o righteousness_n it_o can_v be_v no_o prerogative_n royal_a for_o god_n have_v command_v in_o the_o 22._o of_o jeremy_n the_o 1_o 2_o 3_o 4_o and_o 5._o verse_n so_o here_o we_o vulgar_a sort_n of_o people_n may_v see_v upon_o what_o ground_n the_o king_n prerogative_n do_v stand_v as_o namely_o upon_o truth_n judgement_n and_o righteousness_n so_o as_o truth_n and_o judgement_n do_v teach_v matter_n of_o faith_n so_o judgement_n and_o righteousness_n do_v teach_v manner_n of_o life_n and_o conversation_n so_o that_o here_o we_o may_v learn_v and_o observe_v that_o as_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o king_n from_o god_n to_o reign_v to_o rule_v to_o govern_v and_o command_v in_o their_o several_a kingdom_n and_o dominion_n all_o the_o subject_n according_a to_o the_o prerogative_n afore_o mention_v so_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o every_o subject_n from_o god_n faithful_o to_o obey_v his_o sovereign_a lord_n the_o king_n according_a to_o the_o same_o prerogative_n as_o in_o truth_n judgement_n and_o righteousness_n and_o this_o in_o the_o performance_n of_o this_o duty_n will_v make_v a_o good_a accommodation_n and_o reconciliation_n between_o king_n and_o people_n sovereign_a and_o subject_a as_o in_o joshua_n the_o first_o chapter_n 16._o and_o 17._o verse_n and_o they_o answer_v joshua_n say_v all_o that_o thou_o have_v command_v we_o will_v we_o do_v and_o whithersover_o thou_o send_v we_o will_v we_o go_v as_o we_o obey_v moses_n in_o all_o thing_n so_o will_v we_o obey_v thou_o only_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n be_v with_o thou_o as_o he_o be_v with_o moses_n whosoever_o shall_v rebel_v against_o thy_o commandment_n and_o will_v not_o obey_v thy_o word_n in_o all_o that_o thou_o command_v he_o let_v he_o be_v put_v to_o death_n only_o be_v strong_a and_o of_o a_o good_a courage_n object_n then_o the_o king_n may_v command_v what_o he_o please_v answer_n as_o moses_n and_o joshua_n do_v receive_v god_n will_n by_o immediate_a mean_n so_o the_o king_n and_o his_o people_n must_v receive_v the_o will_n of_o god_n by_o immediate_a mean_n as_o namely_o from_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n this_o be_v so_o it_o be_v a_o maxim_n inviolable_a the_o use_n that_o we_o be_v to_o make_v be_v this_o that_o it_o do_v not_o only_o reprove_v but_o also_o condemn_v those_o that_o do_v abuse_v and_o falsify_v the_o king_n prerogative_n say_v and_o hold_v that_o the_o king_n may_v command_v by_o his_o prerogative_n the_o life_n land_n and_o good_n and_o chattel_n of_o any_o subject_n or_o subject_n when_o or_o wheresoever_o he_o please_v and_o so_o consequent_o do_v make_v of_o a_o good_a king_n a_o witty_a tyrant_n not_o only_o in_o matter_n of_o faith_n but_o also_o in_o manner_n of_o life_n wherein_o do_v consist_v the_o mark_n of_o
