its_o original_a be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n 13._o rom._n 13._o as_o a_o city_n may_v elect_v a_o mayor_n by_o privilege_n of_o charter_n but_o his_o authority_n when_o elect_v be_v from_o the_o

little_a on_o so_o necessary_a a_o doctrine_n and_o such_o inference_n as_o fair_o flow_v from_o it_o as_o 1._o the_o prince_n derive_v his_o authority_n from_o god_n it_o follow_v hence_o he_o be_v accountable_a to_o none_o but_o god_n he_o stand_v or_o fall_v to_o his_o own_o master_n and_o he_o call_v no_o man_n master_n upon_o earth_n this_o be_v true_o in_o right_a reason_n a_o consequence_n from_o the_o nature_n and_o end_n of_o government_n there_o must_v be_v some_o person_n or_o person_n according_a to_o the_o frame_n of_o the_o polity_n from_o who_o there_o must_v be_v no_o appeal_n

of_o appeal_n more_o grievous_a than_o any_o tyranny_n 2._o if_o the_o prince_n derive_v his_o authority_n from_o god_n it_o follow_v again_o his_o law_n oblige_v the_o conscience_n of_o the_o subject_a such_o as_o command_v lawful_a thing_n for_o to_o a_o unlawful_a thing_n there_o can_v be_v no_o obligation_n because_o he_o have_v no_o authority_n from_o god_n to_o make_v unjust_a law_n and_o therefore_o if_o he_o do_v they_o do_v not_o oblige_v the_o conscience_n of_o the_o subject_a to_o that_o obedience_n which_o be_v call_v active_a though_o even_o in_o such_o case_n he_o be_v oblige_v to_o subjection_n to_o endure_v the_o penalty_n which_o they_o call_v passive_a obedience_n but_o if_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o command_n be_v a_o thing_n indifferent_a not_o forbid_v by_o any_o law_n of_o god_n moral_a or_o positive_a there_o the_o prince_n create_v a_o obligation_n in_o conscience_n to_o conformity_n and_o obedience_n for_o man_n to_o think_v they_o must_v have_v the_o same_o liberty_n after_o they_o be_v enter_v into_o society_n either_o civil_a or_o religious_a as_o before_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o very_a nature_n and_o end_n of_o society_n they_o must_v submit_v themselves_o in_o thing_n lawful_a to_o the_o determination_n of_o the_o communion_n whereof_o they_o become_v member_n and_o the_o enquiry_n lie_v not_o whether_o the_o thing_n enjoin_v be_v expedient_a or_o inexpedient_a for_o of_o that_o the_o govern_v part_n must_v judge_v but_o only_o whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a and_o it_o be_v lawful_a if_o not_o forbid_v by_o god_n and_o if_o lawful_a before_o it_o become_v now_o after_o the_o law_n necessary_a in_o its_o use_n and_o so_o be_v our_o obedience_n nor_o do_v this_o take_v away_o the_o natural_a indifferency_n of_o the_o thing_n nor_o the_o liberty_n of_o christian_n nor_o exalt_v prince_n into_o god_n throne_n or_o make_v they_o lord_n of_o conscience_n for_o that_o be_v still_o free_a to_o judge_v of_o the_o natural_a indifferency_n any_o more_o than_o our_o obligation_n in_o conscience_n to_o believe_v what_o the_o apostle_n have_v deliver_v make_v they_o lord_n of_o our_o faith_n a_o title_n which_o they_o disclaim_v as_o proper_a to_o he_o who_o be_v the_o author_n and_o finisher_n of_o it_o 2._o prince_n be_v call_v god_n not_o only_o because_o he_o beget_v they_o but_o they_o be_v like_o god_n

in_o the_o conclusion_n though_o they_o design_v only_o their_o own_o in_o the_o first_o motion_n of_o their_o arms._n but_o what_o ever_o excess_n the_o wantonness_n of_o power_n may_v tempt_v some_o
