therefore_o be_v not_o universal_o the_o christian_n head_n that_o those_o king_n and_o governor_n have_v such_o authority_n more_o than_o peter_n have_v we_o prove_v because_o they_o stand_v more_o deep_o charge_v from_o god_n to_o improove_v those_o christian_n unto_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n than_o peter_n do_v for_o the_o only_a end_n why_o god_n give_v authority_n unto_o man_n over_o one_o

of_o society_n family_n city_n country_n and_o kingdom_n it_o must_v of_o necessity_n follow_v that_o such_o as_o be_v more_o deep_o charge_v to_o improove_v a_o company_n unto_o god_n glory_n must_v also_o have_v the_o

great_a power_n and_o authority_n over_o that_o company_n which_o they_o so_o stand_v charge_v with_o now_o that_o those_o king_n be_v more_o deep_o charge_v so_o to_o improve_v those_o christian_n than_o peter_n be_v we_o thus_o prove_v by_o they_o have_v great_a mean_n so_o to_o do_v every_o man_n charge_n be_v answerable_a unto_o his_o mean_n 12._o unto_o who_o much_o be_v give_v as_o our_o

these_o king_n be_v great_a than_o the_o mean_n of_o peter_n we_o thus_o final_o declare_v first_o because_o it_o be_v in_o their_o power_n to_o protect_v those_o their_o christian_a subject_n from_o persecution_n &_o so_o to_o open_v a_o door_n unto_o their_o preach_n whereas_o peter_n be_v not_o able_a so_o much_o as_o to_o protect_v himself_o no_o not_o to_o save_v his_o own_o shoulder_n from_o the_o whip_n second_o for_o that_o it_o be_v also_o in_o there_o power_n to_o endow_v those_o their_o christian_n with_o privilege_n and_o jurisdiction_n whereby_o such_o as_o be_v otherwise_o

have_v at_o command_n the_o gift_n ability_n and_o mystery_n of_o those_o their_o christian_a subject_n the_o lord_n express_o charge_v every_o soul_n among_o they_o to_o be_v subject_a unto_o the_o high_a power_n and_o even_o out_o of_o peter_n own_o mouth_n 13_o that_o they_o shall_v submit_v themselves_o unto_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n whether_o unto_o the_o king_n as_o the_o supreme_a
