the_o last_o day_n the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n proceed_n shall_v be_v universal_o manifest_a and_o magnify_v 5._o it_o be_v therefore_o call_v the_o day_n of_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o

the_o pagan_a world_n for_o many_o age_n have_v live_v in_o a_o unnatural_a oblivion_n of_o god_n and_o he_o seem_v unconcern_v for_o their_o violation_n of_o his_o law_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o from_o

the_o designation_n of_o the_o person_n by_o who_o he_o will_v perform_v that_o eminent_a part_n of_o sovereignty_n by_o jesus_n christ_n who_o he_o have_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a in_o order_n to_o the_o handle_n of_o the_o main_a point_n it_o be_v requisite_a to_o premise_v brief_o some_o proposition_n 1._o that_o god_n be_v the_o universal_a monarch_n of_o the_o world_n and_o have_v supreme_a authority_n to_o govern_v reasonable_a creature_n antecedent_n to_o their_o election_n and_o consent_n the_o psalmist_n call_v to_o the_o heathen_n 100_o know_v you_o that_o the_o lord_n

goodness_n and_o be_v king_n by_o creation_n 2._o the_o two_o principal_a and_o necessary_a part_n of_o his_o sovereignty_n be_v to_o give_v law_n for_o the_o rule_n of_o his_o subject_n and_o to_o pass_v final_a judgement_n upon_o they_o for_o their_o obedience_n or_o disconformity_n to_o his_o precept_n mere_a natural_a agent_n be_v regulate_v by_o a_o wise_a establishment_n that_o be_v the_o

salvation_n be_v a_o act_n of_o obedience_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n if_o a_o prince_n out_o of_o affection_n to_o his_o friend_n will_v leave_v his_o own_o dominion_n and_o live_v private_o with_o he_o in_o a_o foreign_a country_n he_o must_v be_v subject_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o place_n indeed_o it_o be_v not_o conceivable_a that_o a_o creature_n shall_v be_v without_o a_o law_n for_o this_o be_v to_o make_v it_o supreme_a and_o independent_a supreme_a in_o not_o be_v liable_a to_o a_o superior_a power_n to_o confine_v and_o order_v it_o independent_a as_o to_o its_o be_v

lawgiver_n the_o lord_n be_v our_o king_n and_o sometime_o in_o scripture_n his_o sovereignty_n be_v intimate_v in_o the_o title_n of_o judge_n thus_o in_o that_o humble_a expostulation_n of_o abraham_n for_o sodom_n shall_v not_o the_o judge_n of_o all_o the_o world_n do_v right_a he_o address_v his_o request_n to_o god_n under_o that_o title_n to_o soften_v his_o power_n and_o incline_v his_o clemency_n to_o save_v the_o wicked_a for_o their_o sake_n who_o be_v comparative_o righteous_a that_o be_v innocent_a of_o their_o cry_a sin_n 3._o as_o his_o right_n to_o govern_v and_o
