ever_o such_o a_o speech_n shall_v come_v out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o a_o most_o eminent_a cardinal_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a both_o st._n paul_n and_o peter_n lie_v strict_a injunction_n on_o their_o convert_v to_o be_v subject_a to_o their_o present_a governor_n not_o because_o they_o be_v in_o no_o condition_n to_o resist_v they_o effectual_o but_o for_o conscience_n sake_n and_o because_o they_o be_v ordain_v by_o god_n now_o if_o the_o magistrate_n be_v ordain_v by_o god_n than_o it_o be_v no_o more_o lawful_a for_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o man_n to_o resist_v he_o than_o for_o twelve_o and_o if_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o submit_v for_o conscience_n sake_n no_o increase_n of_o our_o number_n or_o strength_n can_v alter_v the_o rule_n of_o our_o duty_n or_o take_v off_o the_o obligation_n of_o conscience_n so_o that_o have_v the_o first_o christian_n have_v more_o potent_a army_n than_o nero_n or_o julian_n yet_o no_o right_n ever_o can_v have_v accrue_v to_o they_o thereby_o to_o oppose_v god_n ordinance_n or_o to_o proceed_v against_o their_o conscience_n we_o may_v perceive_v therefore_o a_o wide_a difference_n between_o the_o cardinal_n and_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o matter_n he_o resolve_v the_o subjection_n of_o the_o primitive_a christian_n into_o a_o mere_a point_n of_o prudence_n and_o discretion_n but_o they_o into_o a_o principle_n of_o duty_n and_o conscience_n he_o ascribe_v their_o quiet_a and_o peaceable_a behaviour_n under_o tyrant_n to_o their_o defect_n in_o strength_n and_o number_n but_o we_o find_v they_o in_o what_o circumstance_n soever_o place_v always_o avow_v the_o necessity_n of_o subjection_n as_o a_o indispensable_a precept_n of_o their_o religion_n but_o with_o more_o modesty_n certain_o we_o may_v charge_v the_o cardinal_n with_o the_o guilt_n of_o grievous_a slander_n than_o raise_v a_o suspicion_n of_o the_o least_o hypocrisy_n in_o the_o primitive_a martyr_n wherefore_o notwithstanding_o the_o supreme_a authority_n of_o a_o nation_n may_v sometime_o be_v reduce_v to_o such_o extremity_n as_o that_o rebel_n may_v be_v out_o of_o both_o the_o fear_n and_o danger_n of_o the_o public_a sword_n yet_o they_o can_v never_o get_v out_o of_o the_o reach_n of_o their_o own_o conscience_n nor_o free_v themselves_o of_o those_o terrible_a conviction_n wherewith_o it_o will_v ever_o sting_v the_o child_n of_o disobedience_n and_o testify_v that_o they_o shall_v receive_v to_o themselves_o damnation_n 2._o that_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n be_v the_o first_o pretender_n from_o scripture_n

time_n the_o doctrine_n of_o non-resistence_a to_o the_o high_a power_n be_v constant_o teach_v and_o universal_o practise_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n there_o be_v a_o great_a degeneracy_n from_o the_o primitive_a strictness_n in_o the_o life_n of_o christian_n and_o much_o humane_a mixture_n in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christianity_n before_o man_n do_v claim_v by_o a_o title_n derive_v from_o christ_n a_o right_a to_o control_v the_o supreme_a authority_n and_o as_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n do_v more_o vigorous_o put_v forth_o themselves_o in_o the_o conversation_n of_o
