heathen_a ruler_n or_o master_n be_v oft_o prescribe_v as_o a_o special_a mean_n to_o advance_v christ_n main_a end_n to_o magnify_v and_o promote_v the_o gospel_n but_o for_o power_n over_o a_o man_n own_o life_n no_o man_n can_v be_v believe_v to_o be_v bear_v with_o it_o for_o if_o he_o be_v he_o may_v then_o as_o lawful_o kill_v himself_o and_o if_o he_o may_v do_v it_o lawful_o there_o be_v many_o case_n which_o may_v make_v it_o prudent_a for_o he_o to_o do_v it_o at_o some_o time_n as_o pull_v out_o a_o ache_a tooth_n or_o dispose_v of_o his_o liberty_n or_o estate_n out_o of_o his_o own_o possession_n a_o thing_n which_o no_o christian_n have_v ever_o think_v lawful_a but_o make_v this_o felonia_fw-la de_fw-la se_fw-la this_o self-murder_n or_o felony_n against_o one_o self_n a_o crime_n as_o contrary_a to_o the_o six_o commandment_n as_o the_o kill_n of_o any_o other_o man_n have_v proceed_v thus_o far_o i_o shall_v now_o take_v that_o for_o grant_v which_o that_o i_o know_v of_o be_v deny_v by_o none_o i_o be_o sure_a which_o be_v not_o deny_v in_o the_o publish_a scheme_n of_o the_o design_a representative_a viz._n that_o the_o supreme_a power_n include_v the_o power_n of_o life_n i_o mean_v not_o such_o a_o arbitrary_a power_n of_o kill_v who_o they_o please_v without_o sin_n but_o a_o power_n of_o put_v capital_a malefactor_n to_o death_n and_o so_o a_o power_n over_o every_o call_v it_o subject_n or_o freeman_n life_n in_o case_n of_o capital_a crime_n and_o the_o grant_n of_o this_o as_o it_o be_v too_o visible_a that_o it_o be_v by_o you_o a_o grant_a truth_n be_v add_v to_o the_o former_a do_v to_o i_o irrefragable_o conclude_v that_o the_o supreme_a power_n neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v in_o the_o community_n of_o the_o people_n or_o in_o their_o representative_a by_o force_n mere_o of_o their_o original_n or_o natural_a liberty_n the_o inference_n be_v clear_a because_o the_o power_n of_o life_n which_o be_v part_n of_o the_o supremacy_n be_v not_o part_v of_o that_o natural_a liberty_n and_o therefore_o be_v neither_o inherent_a natural_o in_o that_o community_n of_o man_n which_o be_v but_o in_o other_o word_n so_o many_o particular_a man_n together_o endow_v with_o that_o power_n and_o no_o more_o which_o every_o man_n have_v single_o over_o himself_o nor_o consequent_o by_o they_o communicable_a to_o any_o representative_a and_o by_o this_o also_o it_o appear_v that_o supreme_a magistracy_n wheresoever_o it_o be_v true_o place_v be_v the_o ordinance_n and_o creation_n of_o god_n who_o alone_o have_v power_n of_o all_o man_n life_n and_o not_o of_o man_n who_o have_v no_o power_n of_o his_o own_o much_o less_o of_o any_o other_o life_n any_o far_a than_o he_o be_v a_o representative_a or_o proxy_n or_o deputy_n of_o god_n who_o have_v that_o power_n not_o of_o the_o people_n who_o have_v it_o not_o for_o it_o be_v possible_a i_o may_v put_v you_o in_o mind_n of_o a_o evident_a truth_n which_o perhaps_o you_o have_v not_o take_v notice_n of_o that_o as_o the_o original_n of_o government_n in_o any_o particular_a place_n can_v be_v imagine_v to_o be_v by_o any_o more_o than_o two_o way_n either_o god_n designment_n or_o the_o people_n act_n so_o in_o either_o of_o those_o two_o case_n it_o be_v god_n only_o and_o not_o the_o people_n that_o give_v the_o power_n of_o the_o sword_n or_o power_n of_o life_n to_o the_o governor_n when_o god_n himself_o set_v a_o king_n over_o man_n it_o be_v so_o clear_a that_o be_v thus_o empower_v that_o king_n that_o that_o need_v not_o be_v prove_v and_o when_o the_o community_n of_o a_o people_n suppose_v in_o the_o original_a ten_o man_n in_o the_o freedom_n of_o nature_n choose_v one_o of_o themselves_o or_o more_o to_o rule_v over_o they_o it_o be_v clear_a they_o do_v not_o invest_v he_o with_o more_o power_n than_o themselves_o have_v and_o that_o he_o that_o be_v thus_o choose_v by_o they_o have_v the_o power_n of_o life_n over_o any_o of_o they_o which_o they_o single_a or_o all_o together_o in_o the_o community_n have_v not_o must_v needs_o come_v from_o some_o other_o and_o not_o from_o they_o and_o if_o you_o will_v know_v from_o who_o it_o come_v i_o answer_v that_o it_o come_v from_o god_n appointment_n for_o the_o economy_n of_o the_o world_n that_o the_o supreme_a magistrate_n shall_v as_o his_o deputy_n have_v this_o power_n from_o god_n communicate_v to_o he_o as_o a_o endowment_n necessary_a to_o that_o power_n which_o be_v design_v to_o protect_v and_o govern_v other_o and_o in_o case_n it_o be_v the_o act_n of_o the_o people_n and_o not_o of_o god_n immediate_o that_o design_n or_o nominate_v the_o person_n to_o that_o office_n yet_o do_v not_o this_o nomination_n bestow_v this_o power_n but_o god_n who_o alone_o have_v that_o power_n bestow_v it_o on_o he_o who_o be_v thus_o nominate_v in_o this_o case_n all_o that_o the_o people_n bestow_v or_o part_n with_o by_o their_o act_n be_v their_o own_o liberty_n or_o that_o part_n of_o it_o of_o which_o they_o voluntary_o divest_v themselves_o that_o they_o may_v by_o obedience_n empower_v he_o who_o they_o have_v set_v over_o they_o and_o that_o they_o may_v reasonable_o part_v with_o for_o that_o great_a benefit_n of_o protection_n from_o he_o which_o while_o he_o be_v obey_v by_o all_o he_o may_v by_o their_o unite_a obedience_n to_o his_o command_n be_v able_a to_o afford_v they_o and_o can_v not_o probable_o without_o it_o now_o this_o give_n up_o their_o liberty_n to_o one_o or_o more_o make_v that_o man_n or_o man_n a_o ruler_n over_o they_o and_o be_v a_o ruler_n to_o he_o belong_v derive_v from_o god_n not_o from_o they_o that_o power_n of_o life_n and_o death_n which_o god_n forementioned_a decree_n have_v enstate_v on_o the_o supreme_a power_n or_o ruler_n who_o be_v therefore_o in_o that_o relation_n of_o avenger_n for_o wrath_n or_o punishment_n style_v by_o the_o apostle_n the_o minister_n of_o god_n rom._n 13._o and_o not_o of_o the_o people_n by_o this_o it_o appear_v that_o for_o the_o original_n of_o power_n the_o utmost_a that_o come_v from_o the_o people_n be_v that_o of_o which_o they_o have_v the_o power_n till_o by_o some_o act_n of_o god_n or_o their_o own_o they_o have_v part_v with_o it_o the_o liberty_n or_o power_n of_o their_o person_n or_o in_o some_o sort_n and_o degree_n as_o they_o shall_v part_v with_o it_o of_o their_o body_n or_o possession_n in_o like_o manner_n but_o not_o of_o their_o life_n for_o that_o other_o be_v of_o a_o high_a origination_n and_o therefore_o suppose_v the_o power_n they_o have_v part_v with_o shall_v upon_o any_o emergent_a revert_v to_o they_o again_o yet_o the_o power_n of_o life_n and_o death_n or_o of_o the_o sword_n can_v never_o revert_v because_o it_o never_o proceed_v from_o they_o but_o as_o the_o soul_n that_o come_v from_o god_n do_v at_o the_o fall_n of_o the_o body_n back_o to_o its_o element_n or_o earth_n from_o which_o it_o be_v first_o take_v return_v to_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n that_o give_v it_o so_o the_o power_n of_o life_n the_o prerogative_n first_o and_o then_o the_o gift_n or_o investitute_a of_o god_n must_v at_o the_o dlssolution_n of_o any_o government_n and_o the_o suppose_v pose_v revert_n to_o its_o principle_n again_o return_v to_o its_o proper_a fountain_n to_o god_n and_o none_o but_o he_o and_o to_o imagine_v it_o to_o divolve_v to_o the_o community_n of_o the_o people_n be_v the_o same_o unreasonable_a as_o to_o conceive_v the_o immortal_a soul_n that_o one_o beam_n of_o divinity_n as_o this_o power_n of_o life_n and_o death_n be_v another_o to_o accompany_v the_o carcase_n to_o the_o grave_n also_o i_o have_v insist_v the_o long_a on_o this_o to_o make_v the_o mistake_n the_o more_o palpable_a and_o the_o more_o impossible_a not_o to_o be_v discern_v by_o you_o and_o if_o i_o can_v foresee_v any_o colour_n of_o reason_n that_o can_v possible_o pretend_v

which_o be_v already_o lay_v have_v not_o prevent_v i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o the_o three_o and_o last_o way_n of_o examine_v this_o truth_n by_o the_o history_n of_o time_n and_o there_o i_o shall_v be_v force_v to_o retract_v at_o least_o to_o suspend_v the_o acknowledge_n of_o that_o which_o that_o i_o may_v examine_v it_o by_o reason_n i_o be_v willing_a to_o suppose_v but_o not_o
