why_o be_v we_o his_o subject_n why_o be_v we_o his_o servant_n but_o because_o we_o be_v under_o his_o command_n and_o under_o his_o law_n you_o know_v the_o jew_n say_v they_o will_v not_o have_v christ_n to_o be_v their_o king_n but_o the_o voice_n of_o every_o christian_a be_v to_o cry_v up_o christ_n to_o proclaim_v he_o king_n and_o to_o own_v he_o only_o as_o their_o ruler_n and_o christ_n be_v king_n rule_n and_o reign_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n by_o law_n and_o commandment_n and_o precious_a statute_n worthy_a of_o such_o a_o king_n now_o christ_n give_v we_o

in_o our_o renew_a regenerate_v and_o enlighten_v spirit_n rule_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o our_o sin_n his_o enemy_n which_o oppose_v he_o christ_n be_v not_o such_o a_o king_n as_o other_o king_n other_o king_n make_v law_n and_o add_v penalty_n to_o their_o law_n for_o those_o that_o break_v they_o but_o they_o have_v no_o power_n to_o enable_v their_o subject_n to_o keep_v they_o but_o here_o be_v the_o privilege_n and_o prerogative_n of_o our_o king_n when_o christ_n make_v law_n he_o do_v not_o only_o give_v we_o law_n and_o bid_v we_o keep_v they_o but_o he_o have_v power_n in_o

which_o he_o command_v he_o shall_v be_v such_o a_o lawgiver_n as_o moses_n that_o give_v a_o law_n but_o give_v no_o power_n to_o do_v it_o but_o christ_n be_v not_o such_o a_o lawgiver_n as_o
