those_o before_o specify_v belong_v unto_o god_n and_o not_o unto_o caesar_n yet_o it_o be_v most_o vident_fw-la and_o undeniable_a that_o in_o some_o age_n caesar_n i._n the_o prince_n and_o ruler_n

authority_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n and_o be_v commend_v for_o it_o i_o will_v not_o stand_v much_o upon_o the_o example_n of_o david_n and_o solomon_n not_o because_o they_o be_v type_n of_o christ_n as_o some_o have_v answer_v concern_v david_n and_o the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v of_o solomon_n also_o but_o because_o they_o be_v prophet_n as_o well_o as_o king_n and_o what_o they_o do_v in_o this_o kind_n for_o the_o most_o part_n they_o do_v not_o as_o king_n but_o as_o prophet_n as_o appear_v by_o 1_o chron_n 9.22_o &_o 28.19_o &_o 2_o chron._n 8.14_o to_o let_v pass_v therefore_o these_o example_n i_o will_v only_o urge_v the_o example_n of_o those_o who_o be_v king_n only_o and_o not_o prophet_n as_o of_o asa_n jehoshaphat_n ezekiah_n and_o josiah_n how_o asa_n put_v down_o

destroy_v idolatry_n repair_v the_o temple_n and_o keep_v a_o most_o solemn_a passover_n 2_o chron._n 34._o &_o 35._o thus_o do_v all_o these_o famous_a prince_n &_o that_o not_o by_o any_o peculiar_a

be_v endue_v with_o a_o extraordinary_a power_n which_o sometime_o they_o do_v exercise_n upon_o heinous_a transgressor_n for_o the_o admonition_n and_o terror_n of_o other_o thus_o peter_n strike_v

of_o the_o magistrate_n viz._n god_n it_o be_v god_n that_o have_v ordain_v he_o and_o therefore_o people_n ought_v to_o be_v subject_a unto_o he_o and_o not_o to_o resist_v he_o for_o to_o resist_v

then_o second_o he_o prove_v it_o by_o a_o argument_n draw_v from_o the_o end_n for_o which_o god_n have_v ordain_v the_o magistrate_n viz_o the_o great_a good_a and_o benefit_n of_o people_n to_o
