mention_v two_o encouragement_n to_o you_o 1._o thus_o will_v christ_n be_v a_o hide_v place_n and_o sanctuary_n for_o you_o and_o your_o avenger_n if_o magistrate_n shall_v become_v as_o evening_n wolf_n yet_o god_n will_v awake_v for_o you_o it_o be_v the_o conclusion_n of_o psalm_n 58._o which_o be_v pen_v for_o a_o support_n against_o wicked_a ruler_n that_o god_n will_v so_o visible_o stand_v up_o for_o his_o people_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v very_o there_o be_v a_o reward_n for_o the_o righteous_a very_o he_o be_v a_o god_n that_o judge_v in_o the_o earth_n and_o luke_n 18.8_o shall_v not_o god_n avenge_v his_o own_o elect_a that_o cry_v night_n and_o day_n i_o tell_v you_o he_o will_v avenge_v they_o speedy_o 2._o a_o second_o encouragement_n be_v that_o thus_o may_v god_n make_v your_o ruler_n good_a and_o give_v they_o as_o a_o blessing_n the_o reason_n why_o saul_n be_v such_o a_o oppressive_a ruler_n be_v from_o the_o sin_n be_v of_o the_o people_n that_o provoke_v god_n to_o give_v they_o a_o king_n in_o his_o wrath_n the_o reason_n of_o david_n miscarriage_n in_o number_v the_o people_n be_v the_o people_n sin_n that_o provoke_v god_n in_o anger_n to_o israel_n to_o permit_v his_o fall_n 2_o sam._n 24.1_o 1_o chron._n 21.1_o in_o the_o body_n natural_a the_o destillation_n from_o the_o head_n upon_o the_o stomach_n be_v usual_o from_o

reason_n to_o induce_v you_o to_o it_o and_o the_o apostle_n paul_n 1_o tim._n 2._o give_v these_o three_o reason_n that_o shall_v stir_v you_o up_o to_o this_o duty_n even_o to_o wicked_a ruler_n 1._o our_o own_o benefit_n encouragement_n and_o protection_n in_o the_o way_n of_o religion_n v._o 2._o that_o we_o may_v lead_v a_o quiet_a and_o peaceable_a life_n in_o all_o godliness_n and_o honesty_n 2._o a_o second_o reason_n for_o it_o be_v the_o acce●●●●leness_n of_o it_o to_o god_n v._o 3._o this_o be_v good_a and_o acceptable_a in_o t●●●●ght_n of_o god_n our_o saviour_n and_o 3._o he_o endeavour_v to_o persuade_v man_n to_o this_o duty_n from_o the_o possibility_n of_o the_o change_n of_o their_o heart_n v._o 4._o in_o that_o god_n will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v and_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n three_o if_o then_o the_o magistrate_n be_v god_n trustee_n and_o instrument_n then_o for_o conscience_n sake_n let_v they_o have_v respect_n
