by_o philosopher_n and_o draw_v from_o moral_n of_o the_o heathen_a much_o more_o must_v it_o hold_v in_o the_o christian_a common_a wealth_n that_o the_o public_a good_a must_v be_v so_o prefer_v by_o the_o ruler_n that_o he_o ought_v to_o put_v it_o before_o the_o private_a in_o his_o heart_n the_o glory_n of_o god_n before_o his_o own_o and_o the_o welfare_n of_o the_o country_n before_o his_o private_a commodity_n all_o the_o omit_v of_o necessary_a good_a all_o wink_n at_o evil_n do_v lie_v upon_o the_o neck_n of_o the_o superior_a this_o must_v excite_v a_o diligent_a care_n that_o a_o ruler_n must_v rule_v himself_o with_o more_o than_o a_o ordinary_a circumspection_n in_o these_o evil_a day_n wherein_o the_o universal_a cry_n of_o sin_n betray_v itself_o when_o man_n cry_v out_o of_o a_o corrupt_a age_n and_o say_v that_o the_o world_n be_v end_v because_o that_o vice_n abound_v here_o you_o see_v a_o cause_n that_o require_v industry_n the_o spiritual_a power_n must_v detect_v sin_n and_o inveigh_v with_o vehemency_n the_o sword_n of_o the_o temporal_a power_n must_v correct_v and_o reform_v with_o severity_n to_o procure_v amendment_n i_o must_v confess_v that_o we_o can_v have_v plato_n commonwealth_n neither_o can_v we_o so_o labour_v but_o our_o purge_n will_v leave_v dross_n behind_o it_o sin_n when_o it_o be_v smite_v will_v rise_v again_o and_o some_o abuse_n will_v be_v incurable_a yet_o a_o man_n must_v bestir_v that_o power_n that_o he_o have_v and_o do_v his_o best_a or_o else_o god_n will_v punish_v he_o for_o slackness_n and_o visit_v with_o a_o heavy_a judgement_n because_o he_o do_v not_o visit_v offender_n with_o his_o derive_v authority_n and_o that_o judgement_n commit_v into_o the_o ruler_n power_n that_o i_o may_v finish_v this_o point_n there_o be_v a_o government_n which_o master_n have_v and_o parent_n also_o over_o their_o child_n for_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v much_o authority_n power_n and_o rule_v to_o they_o see_v the_o great_a care_n of_o almighty_a god_n his_o desire_n be_v to_o see_v thing_n well_o order_v and_o have_v place_v a_o threefold_a authority_n in_o the_o world_n spiritual_a in_o the_o pastor_n temporal_a in_o the_o magistrate_n as_o also_o domestical_a in_o private_a family_n in_o as_o much_o as_o a_o threefold_a cord_n be_v not_o easy_o break_v he_o in_o mercy_n strive_v to_o give_v sin_n the_o foil_n and_o draw_v under_o the_o world_n into_o true_a obedience_n do_v master_n and_o father_n represent_v divine_a authority_n let_v they_o be_v then_o in_o god_n place_n to_o bring_v up_o and_o tutor_v those_o under_o they_o in_o god_n fear_n to_o teach_v and_o instruct_v they_o in_o religion_n not_o to_o let_v they_o sink_v or_o swim_v to_o let_v they_o live_v or_o die_v in_o

the_o lord_n will_v require_v their_o blood_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o slack_a overseer_n but_o when_o i_o say_v master_n must_v teach_v their_o servant_n i_o do_v not_o mean_v they_o must_v teach_v they_o to_o lie_v or_o to_o deceive_v and_o by_o example_n or_o command_v to_o corrupt_v they_o in_o their_o youth_n in_o show_v those_o base_a and_o false_a proceed_n that_o when_o the_o age_n be_v

be_v this_o to_o be_v a_o tutor_n or_o governor_n in_o god_n place_n this_o be_v like_a to_o antichrist_n that_o sit_v in_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n but_o advance_v himself_o against_o all_o that_o be_v call_v god_n i_o have_v the_o rather_o insist_v upon_o this_o subject_n for_o the_o corrupt_a of_o the_o earth_n the_o power_n of_o hell_n will_v always_o be_v ready_a to_o poison_v the_o degree_n of_o government_n and_o muster_v all_o the_o force_n against_o true_a authority_n to_o hinder_v the_o endeavour_n of_o good_a man_n that_o they_o may_v be_v cross_v and_o oppose_v that_o here_o the_o bond_n of_o amity_n may_v be_v break_v that_o the_o affair_n of_o the_o world_n may_v draw_v the_o mind_n another_o way_n work_v like_a to_o samson_n that_o lay_v hold_v upon_o the_o

tempest_n last_o see_v that_o the_o lord_n to_o show_v his_o power_n triumph_n against_o they_o that_o be_v high_a to_o break_v down_o they_o that_o be_v already_o low_a be_v a_o argument_n of_o lesser_a might_n but_o when_o these_o be_v bring_v down_o who_o none_o can_v tame_v when_o their_o power_n be_v abrogate_a that_o before_o be_v not_o to_o bersi_v by_o violence_n or_o stubborn_a contradiction_n or_o gainsay_v in_o their_o command_n here_o we_o see_v a_o mighty_a arm_n and_o a_o powerful_a blow_n this_o must_v be_v a_o great_a argument_n to_o fear_v the_o lord_n and_o to_o dread_v his_o displeasure_n because_o his_o reach_n be_v unlimited_a no_o compass_n or_o strength_n can_v stay_v his_o force_n the_o great_a man_n on_o earth_n owe_v as_o much_o humility_n to_o god_n as_o the_o mean_a and_o be_v equal_o yoke_v to_o undergo_v the_o edict_n of_o heaven_n we_o preach_v alike_o to_o all_o and_o god_n will_v deal_v without_o distinction_n christ_n in_o daniel_n be_v describe_v to_o overthrow_v kingdom_n that_o image_n which_o nabuchadnezzar_n see_v in_o the_o dream_n with_o a_o gold_n on_o head_n with_o arm_n and_o breast_n of_o silver_n and_o the_o rest_n do_v either_o signify_v the_o four_o great_a monarchy_n of_o the_o world_n or_o else_o the_o three_o first_o with_o the_o remnant_n of_o alexander_n succession_n although_o this_o image_n be_v most_o glorious_a yet_o a_o stone_n cut_v without_o hand_n break_v the_o image_n and_o become_v a_o great_a mountain_n fill_v the_o whole_a earth_n and_o as_o the_o sceptre_n be_v not_o depart_v from_o juda_n nor_o a_o lawgiver_n from_o between_o his_o foot_n till_o shilo_n come_v so_o christ_n will_v always_o make_v his_o come_n notable_a with_o alteration_n when_o shilo_n come_v first_o juda_n lose_v his_o sceptre_n and_o when_o he_o come_v again_o the_o world_n shall_v loose_v all_o dominion_n you_o see_v how_o infinite_a be_v the_o the_o power_n of_o god_n above_o all_o earthly_a power_n let_v no_o man_n swell_v in_o greatness_n of_o heart_n although_o the_o lord_n exalt_v he_o to_o height_n of_o dignity_n but_o that_o mildness_n and_o moderation_n may_v temper_v he_o in_o all_o his_o counsel_n for_o there_o be_v one_o above_o every_o man_n even_o our_o saviour_n that_o can_v turn_v he_o as_o he_o please_v the_o time_n shall_v come_v when_o sceptre_n shall_v be_v break_v when_o power_n shall_v grow_v impotent_a and_o when_o authority_n shall_v loose_v her_o authority_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o first_o which_o be_v the_o do_v of_o good_a i_o will_v now_o enter_v into_o the_o second_o which_o be_v the_o remove_n of_o evil_n he_o must_v reign_v till_o he_o have_v put_v all_o his_o enemy_n under_o his_o foot_z first_o of_o his_o kingdom_n as_o christ_n be_v god_n he_o must_v reign_v he_o reign_v over_o all_o as_o he_o be_v mediator_n he_o reign_v also_o which_o office_n belong_v to_o he_o according_a to_o both_o his_o nature_n whereby_o he_o make_v his_o kingdom_n absolute_a by_o unite_n then_o in_o one_o bond_n reconcile_a the_o subject_n and_o the_o sovereign_a god_n and_o man_n this_o assume_v kingdom_n be_v the_o thing_n here_o mention_v which_o be_v inferior_a to_o the_o divinity_n for_o christ_n be_v god_n by_o nature_n and_o of_o necessity_n but_o he_o be_v mediator_n by_o election_n and_o office_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n arbitrarie_a he_o may_v
