will_v thou_o be_v without_o fear_n of_o the_o power_n do_v well_o then_o and_o so_o shall_v thou_o be_v praise_v of_o the_o same_o for_o he_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n for_o thy_o wealth_n but_o and_o if_o thou_o do_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a then_o fear_v for_o he_o bear_v not_o the_o sword_n for_o nought_o for_o he_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n to_o take_v vengeance_n on_o he_o that_o do_v evil_a wherefore_o you_o must_v needs_o obey_v not_o only_o for_o fear_n of_o vengeance_n but_o also_o because_o of_o conscience_n and_o even_o for_o this_o cause_n pay_v you_o tribute_n for_o they_o be_v god_n minister_n serve_v for_o the_o same_o purpose_n here_o let_v we_o learn_v of_o st._n paul_n the_o choose_a vessel_n of_o god_n that_o all_o person_n have_v soul_n he_o except_v none_o nor_o exempt_v none_o neither_o priest_n apostle_n nor_o prophet_n say_v st._n chrysostom_n do_v owe_v of_o bind_a duty_n and_o even_o in_o conscience_n obedience_n submission_n and_o subjection_n to_o the_o high_a power_n which_o be_v set_v in_o autho_fw-mi thy_fw-mi by_o god_n forasmuch_o as_o they_o be_v god_n lieutenant_n god_n precedent_n god_n officer_n god_n commissioner_n god_n judge_n ordain_v of_o god_n himself_o of_o who_o only_o they_o have_v all_o their_o power_n and_o all_o their_o authority_n and_o the_o same_o st._n paul_n threaten_v no_o less_o pain_n than_o everlasting_a damnation_n to_o all_o disobedient_a person_n to_o all_o resister_n against_o this_o general_a and_o common_a authority_n forasmuch_o as_o they_o resist_v not_o man_n but_o god_n not_o man_n device_n and_o invention_n but_o god_n wisdom_n god_n order_n power_n and_o authority_n the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o sermon_n of_o obedience_n forasmuch_o as_o god_n have_v create_v and_o dispose_v all_o thing_n in_o a_o comely_a order_n we_o have_v be_v teach_v in_o the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o sermon_n concern_v good_a order_n and_o obedience_n that_o we_o ought_v also_o in_o all_o commonweal_n to_o observe_v and_o keep_v a_o due_a order_n and_o to_o be_v obedient_a to_o the_o power_n their_o ordinance_n and_o law_n and_o that_o all_o ruler_n be_v appoint_v of_o god_n for_o a_o goodly_a order_n to_o be_v keep_v in_o the_o world_n and_o also_o how_o the_o magistrate_n ought_v to_o learn_v how_o to_o rule_v and_o govern_v according_a to_o god_n law_n and_o that_o all_o subject_n be_v bind_v to_o obey_v they_o as_o god_n minister_n yea_o although_o they_o be_v evil_a not_o only_o for_o fear_n but_o also_o for_o conscience_n sake_n and_o here_o good_a people_n let_v we_o all_o mark_n diligent_o that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o inferior_n and_o subject_n in_o any_o case_n to_o resist_v and_o stand_v against_o the_o superior_a power_n for_o s._n paul_n word_n be_v plain_a that_o whosoever_o withstand_v shall_v get_v to_o themselves_o damnation_n for_o whosoever_o withstand_v withstand_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n our_o saviour_n christ_n himself_o and_o his_o apostle_n receive_v many_o and_o divers_a injury_n of_o the_o unfaithful_a and_o wicked_a man_n in_o authority_n yet_o we_o never_o read_v that_o they_o or_o any_o of_o they_o cause_v any_o sedition_n or_o rebellion_n against_o authority_n we_o read_v oft_o that_o they_o patient_o suffer_v all_o trouble_n vexation_n slander_n pang_n and_o pain_n and_o death_n itself_o obedient_o without_o tumult_n or_o resistance_n they_o commit_v their_o cause_n to_o he_o that_o judge_v righteous_o and_o pray_v for_o their_o enemy_n hearty_o and_o earnest_o they_o know_v that_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o power_n be_v god_n ordinance_n and_o therefore_o both_o in_o their_o word_n and_o deed_n they_o teach_v ever_o obedience_n to_o it_o and_o never_o teach_v nor_o do_v the_o contrary_n the_o wicked_a judge_n pilate_n say_v to_o christ_n know_v thou_o not_o that_o i_o have_v power_n to_o crucify_v thou_o and_o have_v power_n also_o to_o loose_v thou_o jesus_n answer_v thou_o can_v have_v no_o power_n at_o all_o against_o i_o except_o it_o be_v give_v thou_o from_o above_o whereby_o christ_n teach_v we_o plain_o that_o even_o the_o wicked_a ruler_n have_v their_o power_n and_o authority_n from_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o their_o subject_n to_o withstand_v they_o although_o they_o abuse_v their_o power_n much_o less_o than_o be_v it_o lawful_a for_o subject_n to_o withstand_v their_o godly_a and_o christian_a prince_n which_o do_v not_o abuse_v their_o authority_n but_o use_v the_o same_o to_o god_n glory_n and_o to_o the_o profit_n and_o commodity_n of_o god_n people_n 2._o 1._o pet._n 2._o the_o holy_a apostle_n peter_n command_v servant_n to_o be_v obedient_a to_o their_o master_n not_o only_o if_o they_o be_v good_a and_o gentle_a but_o also_o if_o they_o be_v evil_a and_o froward_a affirm_v that_o the_o vocation_n and_o call_v of_o god_n people_n be_v to_o be_v patient_n and_o of_o the_o suffer_a side_n and_o there_o he_o bring_v in_o the_o patience_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n to_o persuade_v obedience_n to_o governor_n yea_o although_o they_o be_v wicked_a and_o wrong-doer_n but_o let_v we_o now_o hear_v st._n peter_n himself_o speak_v for_o his_o word_n certify_v best_a our_o conscience_n thus_o he_o utter_v they_o in_o his_o first_o epistle_n servant_n 2._o 1_o pet._n 2._o obey_v your_o master_n with_o fear_n not_o only_o if_o they_o be_v good_a and_o gentle_a but_o also_o if_o they_o be_v froward_a for_o it_o be_v thankworthy_a if_o a_o man_n for_o conscience_n towards_o god_n endure_v grief_n and_o suffer_v wrong_n undeserved_a for_o what_o praise_n be_v it_o when_o you_o be_v beat_v for_o your_o fault_n if_o you_o take_v it_o patient_o but_o when_o you_o do_v well_o if_o you_o then_o suffer_v wrong_a and_o take_v it_o patient_o then_o be_v there_o cause_n to_o have_v thank_v of_o god_n for_o hereunto_o very_o be_v you_o call_v for_o so_o do_v christ_n suffer_v for_o we_o leave_v we_o a_o example_n that_o we_o shall_v follow_v his_o step_n all_o these_o be_v the_o very_a word_n of_o st._n peter_n 20._o 1_o king_n 1●_n 19_o 20._o holy_a david_n also_o teach_v we_o a_o good_a lesson_n in_o this_o behalf_n who_o be_v many_o time_n most_o cruel_o and_o wrongful_o persecute_v of_o king_n saul_n and_o many_o time_n also_o put_v in_o jeopardy_n and_o danger_n of_o his_o life_n by_o king_n saul_n and_o his_o people_n yet_o he_o neither_o withstand_v neither_o use_v any_o force_n or_o violence_n against_o king_n saul_n his_o mortal_a and_o deadly_a enemy_n but_o do_v ever_o to_o his_o liege_n lord_n and_o master_n king_n saul_n most_o true_a most_o diligent_a and_o most_o faithful_a service_n insomuch_o that_o when_o the_o lord_n god_n have_v give_v king_n saul_n into_o david_n hand_n in_o his_o own_o cave_n he_o will_v not_o hurt_v he_o when_o he_o may_v without_o all_o bodily_a peril_n easy_o have_v slay_v he_o no_o he_o will_v not_o suffer_v one_o of_o his_o servant_n once_o to_o lay_v their_o hand_n upon_o king_n saul_n but_o pray_v to_o god_n on_o this_o wise_a lord_n keep_v i_o from_o do_v that_o thing_n upon_o my_o master_n the_o lord_n be_v anoint_v keep_v i_o that_o i_o lay_v not_o my_o hand_n upon_o he_o see_v he_o be_v the_o anoint_v of_o the_o lord_n for_o as_o true_o as_o the_o lord_n live_v except_o the_o lord_n smite_v he_o or_o except_v his_o day_n come_v or_o that_o he_o go_v down_o to_o war_n and_o perish_v in_o battle_n the_o lord_n be_v merciful_a unto_o i_o that_o i_o lay_v not_o my_o hand_n upon_o the_o lord_n anoint_v and_o that_o david_n may_v have_v kill_v his_o enemy_n king_n saul_n it_o be_v evident_o prove_v in_o the_o first_o book_n of_o the_o king_n both_o by_o the_o cut_n off_o the_o lap_n of_o saul_n garment_n and_o also_o by_o plain_a confession_n of_o king_n saul_n also_o another_o time_n as_o be_v mention_v in_o the_o same_o book_n when_o the_o most_o unmerciful_a and_o most_o unkind_a king_n saul_n do_v persecute_v poor_a david_n god_n do_v again_o give_v saul_n into_o david_n hand_n by_o cast_v of_o king_n saul_n and_o his_o whole_a army_n into_o a_o dead_a sleep_n so_o that_o david_n and_o one_o abisai_n with_o he_o come_v in_o the_o night_n into_o saul_n host_n where_o saul_n lie_v sleep_v and_o his_o spear_n stick_v in_o the_o ground_n at_o his_o head_n then_o say_v abisai_n unto_o david_n god_n have_v deliver_v thy_o enemy_n into_o thy_o hand_n at_o this_o time_n now_o therefore_o let_v i_o smite_v he_o once_o with_o my_o spear_n to_o the_o earth_n and_o i_o will_v not_o smite_v he_o again_o the_o second_o time_n meaning_n thereby_o to_o have_v kill_v he_o with_o one_o stroke_n and_o to_o have_v make_v he_o sure_o for_o ever_o and_o david_n answer_v and_o say_v to_o abisai_n destroy_v he_o not_o for_o who_o
