the_o 1._o first_o be_v the_o dignity_n and_o high_a call_n of_o the_o magistrate_n 2._o and_o the_o second_o be_v his_o duty_n his_o dignity_n appear_v in_o this_o in_o that_o he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n himself_o which_o word_n be_v twice_o repeat_v in_o this_o verse_n for_o he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n for_o good_a and_o he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n for_o vengeance_n out_o of_o which_o partition_n of_o his_o ministry_n arise_v two_o several_a branch_n of_o his_o duty_n the_o first_o be_v the_o reward_n of_o well-doing_n and_o the_o second_o be_v the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n the_o first_o be_v the_o protection_n of_o the_o just_a and_o innocent_a and_o the_o second_o be_v the_o co_z ertion_n of_o the_o lewd_a and_o wicked_a 1._o concern_v the_o first_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o be_v the_o minister_n and_o servant_n of_o god_n and_o so_o no_o doubt_n be_v every_o faithful_a christian_a in_o his_o several_a call_n but_o special_o and_o by_o prerogative_n be_v he_o that_o minister_n of_o god_n unto_o who_o be_v commit_v either_o the_o dispensation_n of_o the_o word_n in_o the_o church_n or_o the_o use_n and_o exercise_v of_o the_o sword_n among_o the_o people_n now_o if_o the_o service_n of_o god_n in_o the_o low_a degree_n be_v a_o honourable_a service_n and_o more_o to_o be_v desire_v then_o the_o command_n of_o all_o the_o earth_n then_o sure_o the_o service_n of_o god_n in_o the_o high_a degree_n and_o chief_a place_n which_o god_n have_v ordain_v here_o on_o earth_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o most_o honourable_a service_n and_o require_v the_o great_a respect_n and_o regard_n among_o us._n and_o such_o be_v the_o state_n of_o ruler_n and_o governor_n they_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n they_o be_v his_o deputy_n and_o surrogat_n in_o the_o high_a place_n which_o be_v the_o seat_n of_o justice_n and_o therefore_o if_o that_o of_o the_o prophet_n in_o the_o psalm_n may_v be_v right_o apply_v to_o any_o sort_n of_o man_n then_o most_o fit_o to_o prince_n and_o magistrate_n that_o god_n have_v make_v they_o a_o little_a low_o than_o the_o angel_n and_o crown_v they_o with_o glory_n and_o worship_n for_o he_o have_v set_v they_o in_o his_o own_o chair_n and_o judgement_n seat_n he_o have_v place_v they_o in_o his_o own_o stead_n he_o have_v arm_v they_o with_o his_o own_o power_n he_o have_v cover_v they_o with_o his_o own_o garment_n and_o robe_n of_o estate_n he_o have_v gird_v they_o with_o his_o own_o sword_n and_o he_o
