7._o god_n himself_o be_v a_o king_n and_o be_v delight_v to_o rank_n himself_o among_o man_n of_o that_o degree_n and_o as_o he_o take_v to_o himself_o the_o name_n of_o a_o king_n so_o king_n have_v

that_o the_o king_n be_v supreme_a be_v so_o manifest_a that_o it_o need_v no_o poof_n prince_n therefore_o in_o the_o old_a testamant_n be_v call_v head_n of_o the_o tribe_n or_o of_o the_o people_n

minister_n he_o may_v not_o preach_v nor_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n nor_o execute_v church-censurs_a this_o be_v the_o presumption_n of_o uzzias_n and_o therefore_o be_v just_o punish_v and_o far_o less_o have_v he_o power_n to_o bring_v in_o idolatrous_a service_n into_o the_o church_n as_o a_o part_n of_o god_n worship_n and_o therefore_o be_v jeroboam_n condemn_v for_o the_o calf_n
