that_o subject_n may_v not_o resist_v a_o prince_n who_o be_v bend_v to_o subvert_v religion_n law_n and_o liberty_n the_o apostle_n reason_n against_o resister_n be_v 1._o for_o ruler_n be_v not_o a_o terror_n to_o good_a work_n but_o to_o evil_a now_o be_v this_o a_o reason_n why_o i_o may_v not_o resist_v such_o a_o tyrant_n who_o can_v be_v more_o a_o terror_n to_o good_a work_n and_o not_o to_o evil_a than_o he_o that_o be_v bend_v to_o subvert_v religion_n law_n and_o liberty_n ergo_fw-la of_o such_o a_o resistance_n of_o a_o tyrant_n the_o apostle_n speak_v not_o but_o of_o resistance_n of_o that_o ruler_n who_o go_v altogether_o according_a to_o law_n and_o liberty_n which_o be_v just_o punishable_a with_o damnation_n without_o gainsay_v 2._o a_o second_o reason_n or_o enforcement_n of_o the_o apostle_n argument_n against_o resistance_n be_v will_v thou_o then_o not_o be_v afraid_a of_o the_o power_n do_v that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o thou_o shall_v have_v praise_n of_o the_o same_o now_o do_v this_o argue_v a_o tyrant_n be_v not_o to_o be_v resist_v be_v there_o no_o cause_n of_o fear_n of_o he_o while_o a_o man_n do_v that_o which_o be_v good_a that_o be_v bend_v to_o subvert_v religion_n law_n and_o liberty_n or_o shall_v a_o man_n have_v praise_n in_o do_v good_a of_o such_o a_o tyrant_n therefore_o be_v not_o a_o tyrant_n that_o power_n which_o may_v not_o be_v resist_v but_o he_o that_o stand_v to_o the_o law_n and_o rule_n according_a to_o they_o damnation_n be_v just_a against_o those_o that_o resist_v he_o without_o question_n 3._o three_o the_o apostle_n proceed_v vers_fw-la 4._o for_o he_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n to_o thou_o for_o good_a and_o so_o not_o to_o be_v resist_v without_o resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o so_o incur_v damnation_n but_o be_v this_o true_a of_o a_o tyrant_n bend_v to_o subvert_v religion_n law_n and_o liberty_n be_v he_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n to_o thou_o for_o good_a or_o the_o minister_n of_o his_o own_o lust_n rather_o for_o evil_a resistance_n of_o such_o a_o one_o then_o be_v not_o the_o resistance_n the_o apostle_n forbid_v but_o of_o one_o who_o be_v the_o conservatour_n of_o religion_n for_o he_o and_o he_o only_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n to_o thou_o for_o good_a and_o worthy_a be_v he_o of_o damnation_n that_o resist_v such_o a_o one_o 4._o the_o apostle_n add_v if_o thou_o do_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a fear_n for_o he_o bear_v not_o the_o sword_n in_o vain_a for_o he_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n a_o revenger_n to_o execute_v wrath_n upon_o he_o that_o do_v evil_a be_v this_o man_n a_o tyrant_n bend_v to_o subvert_v religion_n law_n and_o liberty_n or_o most_o direct_o opposite_a to_o tyranny_n a_o tyrant_n secure_v those_o that_o do_v evil_a so_o they_o will_v join_v with_o he_o and_o serve_v he_o in_o his_o tyranny_n from_o fear_n and_o he_o bear_v the_o sword_n not_o only_o in_o vain_a in_o reference_n to_o any_o good_a end_n intend_v by_o god_n ordinance_n but_o altogether_o contrary_a to_o it_o and_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n that_o he_o be_v as_o before_o a_o minister_n of_o his_o own_o lust_n to_o shelter_v those_o that_o do_v evil_a and_o to_o pursue_v with_o all_o wrath_n and_o revenge_v he_o that_o do_v good_a and_o will_v not_o be_v a_o slave_n to_o his_o lawless_a design_n and_o desire_n still_o then_o of_o such_o a_o tyrant_n s._n paul_n argue_v not_o that_o he_o may_v not_o be_v resist_v but_o he_o that_o he_o describe_v which_o be_v a_o just_a governor_n and_o so_o upon_o no_o term_n to_o be_v resist_v 5._o upon_o all_o this_o the_o apostle_n resume_v wherefore_o you_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v subject_a not_o only_o for_o wrath_n but_o also_o for_o conscience_n sake_n what_o rule_v of_o conscience_n before_o lay_v infer_v now_o by_o the_o word_n wherefore_o urge_v such_o a_o asinine_a or_o stupid_a subject_n as_o to_o be_v subject_a even_o passive_o and_o not_o to_o resist_v one_o that_o be_v bend_v to_o subvert_v religion_n law_n and_o liberty_n when_o all_o that_o go_v before_o speak_v express_o of_o another_o power_n and_o ruler_n of_o another_o temper_n a_o man_n then_o for_o fear_n of_o wrath_n not_o be_v able_a to_o make_v good_a his_o resistance_n may_v yield_v such_o passive_a subjection_n but_o sure_a conscience_n at_o least_o not_o in_o this_o place_n urge_v he_o not_o to_o it_o 6._o yet_o the_o apostle_n goes-on_a for_o this_o cause_n also_o pay_v you_o tribute_n for_o they_o be_v god_n minister_n continual_o attend_v on_o this_o very_a thing_n for_o what_o cause_n because_o they_o may_v attempt_v to_o subvert_v religion_n law_n and_o liberty_n do_v we_o pay_v tribute_n for_o this_o cause_n that_o they_o

resist_v he_o 7._o final_o he_o conclude_v this_o matter_n with_o say_v render_v to_o all_o their_o due_n by_o what_o law_n of_o god_n or_o man_n may_v a_o tyrant_n subvert_v religion_n law_n and_o
