that_o though_o in_o our_o english_a bibles_n the_o word_n differ_v yet_o in_o the_o original_a they_o be_v both_o the_o same_o so_o that_o saint_n paul_n may_v have_v be_v english_v let_v every_o

whereas_o saint_n paul_n use_v the_o word_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n saint_n peter_n have_v it_o in_o the_o singular_a and_o with_o application_n to_o the_o king_n it_o will_v be_v say_v though_o

call_v a_o humane_a ordinance_n for_o be_v make_v of_o one_o of_o the_o people_n and_o not_o by_o the_o people_n and_o so_o be_v humane_a in_o regard_n of_o their_o material_a cause_n not_o of_o their_o efficient_a if_o saint_n peter_n have_v mean_v that_o king_n have_v be_v make_v by_o the_o people_n he_o must_v also_o have_v mean_v that_o governor_n have_v be_v make_v by_o the_o people_n for_o he_o call_v the_o governor_n as_o well_o a_o ordinance_n of_o man_n as_o the_o king_n for_o his_o word_n be_v submit_v yourselves_o to_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n for_o the_o lord_n sake_n whether_o it_o be_v to_o the_o king_n as_o supreme_a or_o whether_o it_o be_v to_o governor_n but_o saint_n peter_n show_v that_o governor_n be_v not_o make_v by_o the_o people_n for_o he_o say_v they_o that_o be_v send_v by_o he_o not_o by_o they_o for_o the_o punishment_n of_o evil_a doer_n so_o that_o the_o governor_n be_v send_v by_o the_o king_n and_o not_o by_o the_o people_n some_o will_v have_v send_v by_o he_o to_o be_v send_v by_o god_n but_o the_o relative_n must_v be_v refer_v to_o the_o next_o antecedent_n which_o be_v the_o king_n and_o not_o god_n beside_o if_o governor_n be_v send_v by_o god_n and_o king_n by_o the_o people_n than_o governor_n will_v be_v supreme_a which_o be_v contrary_a to_o saint_n peter_n doctrine_n and_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o people_n have_v not_o the_o power_n of_o choose_v representer_n to_o govern_v if_o governor_n must_v be_v send_v of_o god_n the_o safe_a sense_n of_o saint_n peter_n word_n be_v submit_v yourselves_o to_o all_o humane_a law_n whether_o make_v by_o the_o king_n or_o by_o his_o subordinate_a governor_n so_o the_o king_n may_v be_v call_v a_o humane_a ordinance_n as_o be_v all_o one_o with_o a_o speak_a law_n the_o word_n in_o the_o original_a be_v be_v subject_n to_o every_o humane_a creation_n it_o be_v more_o proper_a to_o call_v a_o law_n make_v by_o a_o king_n a_o creation_n of_o a_o ordinance_n than_o the_o people_n choose_v or_o declare_v of_o a_o king_n a_o creation_n of_o he_o but_o take_v the_o word_n in_o what_o sense_n soever_o you_o will_v it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o saint_n peter_n in_o this_o place_n take_v no_o notice_n of_o any_o government_n or_o governor_n but_o of_o a_o king_n and_o governor_n send_v by_o he_o but_o not_o by_o the_o people_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o st._n peter_n and_o st._n paul_n the_o two_o chief_a of_o the_o apostle_n write_v their_o epistle_n at_o such_o a_o time_n when_o the_o name_n of_o a_o

neither_o of_o the_o two_o apostle_n take_v any_o notice_n of_o any_o such_o popular_a government_n no_o nor_o our_o saviour_n himself_o who_o divide_v all_o between_o god_n and_o caesar_n and_o allow_v nothing_o that_o we_o can_v find_v for_o the_o people_n observation_n upon_o aristotle_n politic_n touch_v form_n of_o government_n what_o can_v be_v find_v in_o scripture_n many_o do_v look_v for_o in_o aristotle_n for_o if_o there_o be_v any_o other_o form_n of_o government_n beside_o monarchy_n he_o be_v the_o man_n best_o able_a to_o tell_v what_o it_o be_v and_o to_o let_v we_o know_v by_o what_o name_n to_o call_v it_o since_o the_o greek_a tongue_n be_v most_o happy_a in_o compound_v name_n most_o significant_a to_o express_v the_o nature_n of_o most_o thing_n the_o usual_a

for_o the_o fundamental_a law_n to_o pronounce_v sentence_n in_o it_o be_v very_o much_o that_o law_n which_o in_o their_o own_o nature_n be_v dumb_a and_o always_o need_v a_o judge_n to_o pronounce_v
