power_n magistracy_n and_o government_n be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o by_o divine_a institution_n but_o so_o be_v not_o king_n nor_o this_o nor_o that_o nor_o any_o other_o kind_n of_o government_n they_o be_v of_o man_n and_o through_o his_o appointment_n so_o that_o i_o say_v king_n for_o their_o kind_n of_o government_n be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o man_n for_o god_n have_v not_o tie_v any_o people_n in_o his_o word_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v govern_v by_o king_n or_o by_o duke_n or_o by_o judge_n or_o estate_n or_o the_o like_a but_o refer_v that_o unto_o themselves_o for_o their_o choice_n according_a as_o they_o shall_v see_v most_o convenient_a for_o their_o good_a and_o prosperity_n but_o when_o this_o or_o that_o kind_n of_o government_n be_v ordain_v and_o establish_v by_o general_a consent_n of_o the_o people_n this_o be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n which_o the_o apostle_n give_v a_o charge_n that_o every_o one_o be_v subject_n unto_o according_a to_o the_o old_a say_n vox_fw-la populi_n vox_fw-la dei_fw-la the_o voice_n of_o the_o people_n be_v god_n voice_n which_o they_o that_o resist_v shall_v receive_v to_o themselves_o damnation_n so_o that_o still_o you_o see_v there_o be_v a_o power_n on_o earth_n above_o king_n as_o i_o say_v before_o which_o lie_v in_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o people_n from_o whence_o they_o do_v receive_v as_o from_o their_o fountain_n head_n their_o sovereignty_n and_o kingly_a dignity_n now_o then_o from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v follow_v this_o consequence_n of_o necessity_n that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o great_a power_n on_o earth_n than_o king_n be_v then_o king_n be_v accountable_a for_o their_o action_n thereunto_o and_o aught_o to_o be_v subject_a as_o well_o as_o other_o as_o appear_v by_o that_o in_o rom_n 13_o 1._o let_v every_o soul_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o high_a power_n for_o there_o be_v no_o power_n but_o of_o god_n the_o power_n that_o be_v be_v ordain_v of_o god_n etc._n etc._n whosoever_o therefore_o resist_v the_o power_n resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o they_o that_o resist_v shall_v receive_v to_o themselves_o damnation_n in_o which_o word_n we_o see_v the_o apostle_n give_v a_o general_a charge_n to_o all_o inferior_n to_o submit_v themselves_o to_o their_o superior_n therefore_o if_o king_n be_v inferior_a to_o their_o kingdom_n and_o so_o consequent_o to_o the_o representative_a body_n thereof_o then_o king_n ought_v by_o virtue_n of_o this_o charge_n to_o be_v subject_a thereunto_o as_o well_o as_o other_o but_o how_o ought_v they_o to_o submit_v what_o in_o do_v only_o and_o in_o matter_n of_o obedience_n be_v they_o discharge_v there_o so_o as_o though_o they_o abuse_v their_o power_n never_o so_o exorbitant_o to_o spoil_v oppress_v and_o destroy_v their_o people_n censure_n may_v not_o pass_v upon_o they_o nor_o punishment_n be_v inflict_v sure_o i_o find_v no_o such_o distinction_n in_o all_o the_o word_n of_o god_n nay_o we_o be_v command_v the_o contrary_a and_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n teach_v we_o as_o much_o that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o fester_a and_o a_o gangrene_v member_n in_o the_o body_n that_o will_v destroy_v the_o whole_a to_o cut_v it_o off_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o who_o ay_o it_o be_v true_a will_v they_o say_v if_o there_o be_v any_o fester_a or_o corrupt_a member_n in_o the_o body_n that_o will_v destroy_v the_o whole_a we_o ought_v to_o cut_v it_o off_o rather_o than_o to_o suffer_v all_o the_o body_n to_o perish_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o nature_n teach_v we_o thus_o much_o but_o in_o case_n the_o head_n shall_v have_v any_o gangrene_n in_o it_o and_o you_o cut_v that_o off_o you_o do_v immediate_o destroy_v the_o body_n the_o life_n can_v not_o be_v preserve_v when_o the_o head_n be_v go_v so_o in_o like_a manner_n the_o king_n he_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o state_n and_o in_o that_o respect_n he_o have_v such_o a_o influence_n upon_o the_o state_n that_o if_o you_o cut_v he_o off_o you_o destroy_v the_o whole_a state_n together_o with_o he_o as_o you_o destroy_v the_o body_n when_o you_o take_v away_o the_o head_n thereof_o therefore_o be_v he_o never_o so_o wicked_a he_o be_v to_o be_v suffer_v and_o bear_v withal_o answ_n this_o similitude_n or_o resemblance_n here_o do_v not_o hold_v good_a therefore_o we_o must_v distinguish_v between_o a_o natural_a head_n and_o a_o civil_a head_n for_o if_o the_o natural_a head_n of_o the_o body_n of_o man_n be_v take_v away_o the_o body_n die_v but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o the_o civil_a head_n of_o the_o state_n as_o experience_n do_v sufficient_o show_v by_o the_o death_n of_o king_n but_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a in_o the_o body_n of_o man_n when_o one_o head_n be_v take_v away_o to_o find_v another_o to_o put_v in_o his_o place_n and_o so_o to_o preserve_v the_o life_n as_o it_o may_v be_v do_v in_o the_o state_n sure_o head_n will_v oftentimes_o be_v change_v and_o cut_v off_o as_o well_o as_o other_o member_n so_o that_o if_o we_o will_v thus_o reason_n that_o the_o head_n of_o the_o state_n shall_v be_v in_o respect_n of_o his_o body_n as_o the_o head_n of_o man_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o body_n of_o man_n than_o it_o do_v necessary_o follow_v that_o the_o head_n be_v dead_a the_o body_n shall_v die_v also_o as_o be_v manifest_a in_o the_o body_n of_o man_n but_o it_o do_v not_o hold_v so_o in_o the_o head_n of_o the_o state_n as_o it_o do_v in_o the_o head_n of_o the_o body_n of_o man_n that_o if_o the_o head_n of_o the_o state_n be_v cut_v off_o the_o state_n die_v as_o do_v the_o body_n of_o man_n therefore_o the_o king_n who_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o state_n if_o a_o corrupt_a and_o a_o fester_a member_n that_o may_v endanger_v the_o destruction_n of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o state_n aught_o to_o be_v cut_v off_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o whole_a for_z salus_fw-la populi_fw-la suprena_fw-la lex_fw-la nothing_o aught_o to_o be_v so_o much_o regard_v as_o the_o people_n safety_n which_o be_v the_o end_n of_o all_o law_n and_o government_n whatsoever_o this_o similitude_n though_o it_o hold_v not_o good_a as_o it_o be_v above_o propose_v yet_o it_o do_v in_o the_o contrary_a that_o if_o a_o king_n by_o his_o wicked_a and_o tyrannical_a course_n do_v destroy_v his_o kingdom_n he_o do_v destroy_v himself_o as_o when_o the_o natural_a body_n be_v destroy_v the_o head_n of_o necessity_n must_v perish_v with_o it_o i_o but_o will_v some_o say_v this_o be_v strange_a where_o in_o all_o the_o scripture_n do_v you_o find_v that_o the_o people_n have_v with_o god_n like_v and_o approbation_n so_o much_o as_o resist_v their_o king_n how_o much_o less_o censure_v they_o or_o bring_v they_o to_o trial_n or_o

their_o people_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n speak_v by_o way_n of_o commendation_n of_o they_o for_o it_o or_o at_o least_o wise_a not_o disapprove_v the_o same_o this_o be_v evident_a by_o divers_a place_n of_o scripture_n as_o first_o of_o all_o we_o have_v a_o example_n hereof_o in_o jonathans_n case_n 1_o sam._n 14_o 44._o where_o because_o that_o lonathan_fw-ge have_v eat_v a_o little_a

his_o just_a defence_n against_o saul_n his_o father_n say_v shall_v jonathan_n die_v who_o have_v wrought_v this_o great_a salvation_n in_o israel_n god_n forbid_v as_o the_o lord_n live_v there_o shall_v not_o one_o hair_n of_o his_o head_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n for_o he_o have_v wrought_v with_o god_n this_o day_n then_o it_o follow_v the_o people_n rescue_v jonathan_n that_o he_o die_v not_o do_v they_o not_o think_v you_o resist_v saul_n when_o the_o people_n rescue_v he_o out_o of_o his_o hand_n whether_o he_o will_v or_o no_o and_o contrary_a to_o the_o oath_n that_o he_o have_v
