persecuter_n of_o true_a religion_n who_o by_o evil_a mean_n have_v attain_v unto_o that_o authority_n and_o behave_v themselves_o as_o ill_a in_o it_o paul_n in_o this_o treaty_n of_o a_o magistrate_n meet_v with_o both_o these_o error_n he_o lay_v down_o this_o foundation_n for_o a_o absolute_a and_o a_o general_a rule_n let_v every_o soul_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o high_a power_n this_o obedience_n he_o require_v both_o of_o jew_n and_o gentile_n of_o prophet_n &_o priest_n in_o sum_n of_o every_o christian_a and_o this_o position_n he_o proove_v by_o sundry_a forcible_a reason_n 2_o first_o there_o be_v no_o power_n but_o of_o god_n magistrate_n the_o power_n that_o be_v be_v ordain_v of_o he_o be_v the_o magistrate_n jew_n or_o gentile_n christian_n or_o heathen_a good_a or_o bad_a he_o have_v his_o authority_n from_o god_n the_o magistrate_n of_o all_o magistrate_n god_n have_v place_v he_o and_o ordain_v he_o to_o be_v thy_o governor_n in_o respect_n whereof_o thou_o be_v bind_v for_o thy_o conscience_n sake_n towards_o god_n for_o to_o obey_v he_o another_o reason_n why_o every_o soul_n shall_v live_v in_o subjection_n to_o the_o high_a power_n be_v because_o whosoever_o resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n provoke_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n against_o himself_o if_o god_n for_o thy_o sin_n set_v a_o wanton_a a_o hypocrite_n yea_o or_o a_o infidel_n over_o thou_o thou_o must_v obey_v that_o wanton_a that_o hypocrite_n and_o that_o infidel_n and_o not_o rebel_v against_o he_o god_n have_v ordain_v he_o to_o resist_v that_o power_n be_v to_o resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n to_o conspire_v against_o he_o be_v to_o conspire_v against_o god_n to_o reject_v he_o be_v to_o reject_v god_n christ_n submit_v himself_o to_o the_o authority_n of_o caesar_n and_o to_o pilate_n judgement_n resister_n and_o rebel_n receive_v to_o themselves_o condemnation_n they_o never_o have_v neither_o ever_o shall_v escape_v the_o heavy_a hand_n of_o god_n wrath_n they_o feel_v it_o often_o in_o this_o life_n but_o in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v if_o they_o escape_v it_o here_o they_o be_v sure_a to_o feel_v it_o a_o three_o reason_n why_o we_o shall_v live_v obedient_o be_v because_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n why_o we_o shall_v do_v otherwise_o for_o why_o shall_v any_o man_n desire_v not_o to_o be_v subject_a because_o he_o be_v afraid_a of_o the_o power_n of_o king_n and_o ruler_n prince_n be_v a_o terror_n not_o to_o they_o that_o do_v well_o but_o to_o evil_a doer_n will_v thou_o then_o be_v without_o fear_n of_o the_o power_n withdraw_v not_o thyself_o from_o obedience_n but_o do_v well_o so_o shall_v thou_o have_v praise_n and_o be_v without_o fear_n for_o this_o end_n magistrate_n be_v appoint_v of_o god_n to_o maintain_v the_o good_a and_o repress_v the_o evil_n and_o the_o magistrate_n be_v so_o necessary_a in_o respect_n hereof_o that_o no_o common_a wealth_n can_v be_v safe_a or_o long_o stand_v without_o he_o for_o if_o the_o bad_a be_v not_o bridle_v more_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o magistrate_n than_o by_o any_o moderation_n in_o themselves_o they_o will_v eat_v up_o the_o good_a and_o a_o wonderful_a confusion_n will_v soon_o follow_v a_o four_o reason_n may_v be_v this_o god_n have_v put_v a_o sword_n in_o the_o magistrate_n hand_n to_o show_v that_o he_o have_v appoint_v he_o as_o his_o vicegerent_n to_o take_v vengeance_n on_o they_o which_o do_v evil_a so_o that_o the_o very_a sight_n of_o the_o sword_n ought_v to_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n of_o his_o power_n and_o our_o obedience_n for_o god_n have_v not_o deliver_v he_o a_o sword_n for_o nothing_o he_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n wrath_n he_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o sword_n in_o vain_a it_o be_v give_v he_o to_o smite_v the_o wicked_a withal_o 3_o wherefore_o you_o must_v be_v subject_a not_o because_o of_o wrath_n only_o only_o but_o also_o for_o conscience_n sake_n the_o apostle_n conclude_v upon_o the_o former_a reason_n that_o we_o must_v submit_v ourselves_o obedient_o unto_o the_o magistrate_n and_o attempt_v nothing_o against_o he_o not_o only_o for_o fear_n of_o punishment_n he_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n displeasure_n but_o also_o for_o conscience_n sake_n in_o that_o god_n require_v this_o obedience_n at_o our_o hand_n all_o this_o notwithstanding_o if_o magistrate_n shall_v command_v that_o which_o be_v impious_a and_o which_o god_n forbid_v in_o such_o case_n we_o have_v our_o answer_n well_o warrant_v 5._o melius_fw-la est_fw-la obedire_fw-la

to_o who_o tribute_n custom_n to_o who_o custom_n fear_v to_o who_o fear_n and_o honour_n to_o who_o honour_n be_v due_a we_o must_v have_v magistrate_n in_o great_a estimation_n and_o reverence_n
