A40705	The case of the times discuss'd being a serious exercitation of two cases grounded upon Romans 13, vers. 1,2,3,4,5 : First, how far we are bound to obey, when we are not satisfied that the laws are for our good, 2nd, whether subjection more than not to resist powers : to which is added some remarks upon a late book entituled The Protestant reconciler / by Fr.

therefote_v if_o we_o do_v not_o resist_v the_o power_n though_o we_o do_v not_o actual_o obey_v we_o do_v what_o the_o apostle_n enjoin_v therefore_o if_o when_o the_o law_n be_v not_o for_o our_o

apostle_n command_v we_o to_o be_v subject_a and_o they_o say_v he_o mean_v by_o subjection_n nonresistance_n now_o these_o objector_n themselves_o confess_v that_o subjection_n be_v a_o necessary_a

only_o to_o slur_v this_o esteem_a argument_n and_o be_v afraid_a to_o encounter_v it_o in_o earnest_n and_o the_o rather_o that_o i_o may_v vindicate_v the_o apostle_n and_o evince_v the_o ground_n of_o christian_a obedience_n according_a to_o his_o excellent_a doctrine_n satisfactory_o i_o shall_v apply_v myself_o to_o a_o direct_a and_o more_o distinct_a consideration_n of_o this_o argument_n

to_o rest_v where_o he_o never_o intend_v it_o 2._o and_o second_o that_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o apostle_n word_n upon_o which_o their_o argument_n be_v ground_v be_v gross_o mistake_v sect_n i._o the_o true_a force_n of_o the_o apostle_n argument_n over-seen_a and_o make_v to_o rest_v where_o he_o never_o intend_v it_o the_o chief_a argument_n for_o our_o obedience_n be_v intend_v in_o the_o first_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n proposition_n he_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n as_o they_o be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o latin_a word_n to_o thou_o for_o good_a as_o be_v more_o plain_o

reason_n of_o the_o apostle_n whole_a discourse_n upon_o this_o point_n we_o must_v say_v he_o be_v subject_a 5._o rom._n 13_o vers_n 1_o 2_o 3_o 4_o 5._o why_o because_o he_o be_v the_o high_a

the_o apostle_n take_v its_o strength_n from_o the_o fountain_n of_o humane_a authority_n and_o not_o from_o the_o end_n of_o it_o as_o this_o argument_n will_v insinuate_v 2._o indeed_o the_o apostle_n note_v also_o the_o great_a end_n of_o all_o authority_n and_o assure_v we_o it_o be_v appoint_v for_o our_o good_a and_o this_o be_v a_o very_a great_a encouragement_n of_o subjection_n and_o obedience_n that_o the_o wise_a and_o good_a governor_n of_o the_o world_n have_v appoint_v his_o minister_n to_o rule_v we_o for_o our_o good_a and_o worthy_a of_o a_o better_a acknowledgement_n than_o it_o usual_o obtain_v but_o who_o see_v not_o that_o the_o apostle_n intend_v this_o consideration_n rather_o as_o a_o motive_n to_o our_o obedience_n and_o subjection_n than_o a_o condition_n of_o the_o obligation_n we_o must_v needs_o be_v subject_a partly_o if_o you_o will_v because_o he_o be_v a_o minister_n ordain_v for_o our_o good_a but_o principal_o and_o

conscience_n therefore_o observe_v it_o that_o he_o may_v effectual_o superside_n this_o sophism_n and_o fit_v his_o argument_n beyond_o this_o quirk_n and_o fine_a subtlety_n he_o repeat_v the_o
