A79865	The wise taken in their craftiness, and their wisdom made manifest to be foolishness with God; and their actions discovered to be contrary to the pure law of righteousness given forth by the pure law-giver, Christ Jesus the light; by which light some one judge, or judges of this nation are made manifest, how he, or they have acted contrary to the law of God, and the law of this nation; and contrary to all the kings, rulers, and judges, spoken of in Scripture; by setting fines upon men, and sending them to prison till payment of the same, for not putting off their hats, and stand bare-headed before them in their court of assises, and goal-delivery. Also, here is shewed, that it is no sin for a man to stand with his hat on his head, before any emperor, king, ruler, judge, justice, or other magistrate, either alone, or in open court; neither is the putting the hat off, and standing, bare-headed before them, the honour that is due unto magistrates, which the Scripture speaks of. / VVritten by, me who am known by the name of Henry Clark.

ruler_n or_o magistrate_n contrary_a to_o the_o lord_n god_n and_o his_o commandment_n the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n obey_v not_o but_o rather_o choose_v to_o suffer_v affliction_n by_o submit_v to_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n for_o the_o lord_n sake_n then_o to_o obey_v the_o magistrate_n command_v which_o be_v contrary_a to_o god_n command_n for_o if_o the_o magistrate_n make_v a_o
