subject_a to_o prince_n for_o he_o that_o grant_v a_o privilege_n be_v great_a than_o he_o to_o who_o it_o be_v grant_v but_o the_o last_o and_o best_a answer_n be_v that_o prince_n can_v grant_v no_o such_o privilege_n can_v a_o father_n free_a his_o son_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o honour_v he_o or_o a_o husband_n free_a his_o wife_n that_o she_o shall_v not_o be_v subject_a to_o he_o no_o more_o

thus_o of_o the_o three_o point_n four_o when_o he_o say_v submit_v yourselves_o he_o do_v not_o require_v they_o to_o submit_v those_o thing_n to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o magistrate_n which_o be_v not_o they_o every_o godly_a christian_a have_v some_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o his_o own_o but_o god_n and_o those_o he_o must_v not_o subject_a to_o the_o will_n of_o prince_n as_o his_o

or_o what_o must_v be_v submit_v to_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n there_o be_v two_o sense_n give_v of_o these_o word_n some_o understand_v they_o of_o magistrate_n themselves_o some_o of_o the_o

and_o the_o latter_a employ_v in_o the_o former_a and_o therefore_o i_o purpose_v to_o handle_v the_o word_n according_a to_o the_o sense_n in_o both_o respect_n first_o then_o we_o must_v be_v subject_a to_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n that_o be_v to_o all_o sort_n of_o magistrate_n and_o the_o apostle_n seem_v to_o expound_v it_o when_o he_o say_v whether_o it_o be_v to_o the_o king_n

unto_o man_n for_o god_n have_v not_o tie_v all_o nation_n to_o a_o kind_n of_o government_n but_o leave_v they_o for_o the_o most_o part_n free_a and_o therefore_o some_o govern_v by_o king_n some_o by_o emperor_n some_o by_o consul_n some_o by_o duke_n some_o by_o prince_n or_o earl_n or_o the_o like_a four_o because_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n christ_n do_v not_o at_o all_o employ_v himself_o in_o settle_v any_o order_n for_o the_o corporal_a government_n of_o his_o church_n in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v special_o his_o intent_n for_o the_o raise_n of_o his_o spiritual_a
