17_o deut._n 17_o where_o moses_n say_v thus_o thou_o shall_v make_v he_o king_n over_o thou_o who_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n shall_v choose_v from_o among_o thy_o brethren_n thou_o shall_v not_o set_v a_o stranger_n over_o thou_o which_o be_v not_o thy_o brother_n where_o first_o of_o all_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v that_o the_o king_n which_o the_o lord_n will_v give_v unto_o his_o people_n call_v in_o the_o scripture_n the_o anoint_a of_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v choose_v after_o another_o fashion_n and_o to_o another_o end_n than_o other_o be_v therefore_o moses_n say_v that_o god_n himself_o will_v choose_v this_o king_n differ_v from_o they_o of_o other_o nation_n for_o that_o he_o will_v have_v he_o represent_v and_o figure_v the_o messiah_n his_o son_n be_v king_n everlasting_a and_o redeemer_n of_o the_o world_n and_o that_o he_o will_v have_v he_o to_o reign_v over_o a_o holy_a nation_n which_o privilege_n give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o these_o sacred_a king_n be_v holy_a and_o separate_v from_o other_o wherefore_o moses_n in_o this_o text_n 10_o 1._o sam._n 10_o and_o the_o history_n of_o the_o king_n do_v witness_v that_o their_o election_n proceed_v from_o god_n &_o not_o from_o the_o people_n for_o which_o respect_v there_o be_v a_o separation_n and_o a_o difference_n put_v between_o they_o and_o other_o so_o as_o be_v see_v in_o the_o election_n of_o saul_n 9_o 1._o chron_n 28._o jug._n 9_o david_n and_o solomon_n the_o cause_n why_o abimelech_n be_v before_o appoint_v king_n of_o sichem_n endure_v but_o a_o while_n be_v

god_n i_o answer_v that_o it_o suffice_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o christian_a nation_n never_o have_v this_o particular_a commandment_n nor_o this_o special_a promise_n to_o have_v power_n always_o to_o constitute_v over_o they_o a_o king_n of_o their_o own_o religion_n so_o give_v of_o god_n this_o be_v a_o privilege_n only_o which_o the_o jew_n have_v for_o the_o christian_n have_v be_v and_o be_v bind_v by_o the_o general_a commandment_n of_o god_n to_o abide_v subject_a to_o their_o prince_n which_o he_o have_v give_v they_o of_o what_o religion_n soever_o they_o have_v be_v or_o be_v as_o shall_v be_v more_o at_o large_a discuss_v in_o his_o place_n to_o that_o which_o remain_v thou_o ought_v to_o prove_v that_o this_o realm_n be_v a_o
choose_a kingdom_n and_o that_o the_o ecclesiastical_a roman_n join_v with_o some_o number_n of_o ignorant_a people_n seduce_v by_o they_o have_v this_o right_n of_o election_n whereof_o thou_o

so_o i_o come_v forward_o to_o the_o second_o draw_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o people_n over_o who_o the_o aforesaid_a king_n ought_v to_o be_v appoint_v where_o moses_n say_v thus_o thou_o shall_v not_o set_v over_o they_o etc._n etc._n infer_v by_o this_o pronoune_n that_o among_o these_o privilege_n and_o special_a grace_n which_o god_n will_v give_v unto_o his_o people_n he_o will_v give_v they_o a_o king_n have_v the_o quality_n of_o a_o brother_n and_o make_v profession_n of_o the_o same_o religion_n which_o they_o do_v for_o the_o better_a distinguish_v and_o separate_v they_o

know_v that_o god_n by_o the_o preach_n of_o his_o gospel_n have_v never_o call_v at_o once_o whole_a nation_n to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o he_o and_o that_o for_o the_o most_o part_n he_o have_v rather_o and_o first_o of_o all_o convert_v the_o subject_n yea_o the_o mean_a sort_n from_o among_o the_o say_a subject_n as_o the_o apostle_n witness_v to_o the_o corinthian_n where_o it_o appear_v 1._o 1._o cor._n 1._o that_o the_o faithful_a have_v neither_o right_a nor_o power_n to_o appoint_v a_o king_n over_o themselves_o of_o their_o religion_n it_o behove_v we_o then_o to_o hold_v this_o resolution_n for_o a_o maxim_n in_o divinity_n that_o god_n only_o call_v who_o he_o please_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o his_o truth_n and_o give_v the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o who_o it_o

he_o will_v therefore_o after_o nabuch●_n donosor_n he_o place_v balsasar_n darius_n &_o cyrus_n all_o pagan_n as_o also_o since_o the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n of_o long_a continuance_n he_o have_v rather_o call_v pagan_a prince_n to_o govern_v the_o empire_n than_o christian_n the_o which_o succeed_v one_o another_o by_o the_o ordinance_n and_o pleasure_n of_o he_o even_o as_o saint_n

it_o ensue_v that_o if_o any_o one_o oppose_v himself_o against_o god_n when_o for_o the_o cause_n of_o religion_n he_o will_v depose_v the_o sovereign_a prince_n which_o he_o have_v place_v and_o

to_o be_v say_v and_o understand_v of_o all_o christian_a people_n to_o the_o which_o i_o answer_v deny_v the_o proposition_n and_o the_o illation_n together_o beginning_n at_o the_o first_o thou_o can_v not_o deny_v but_o the_o most_o part_n of_o the_o king_n of_o juda_n and_o of_o israel_n have_v be_v heretic_n as_o their_o idolatry_n and_o abominable_a sacrifice_n do_v witness_v recite_v in_o
