A70803	A decad of caveats to the people of England of general use in all times, but most seasonable in these, as having a tendency to the satisfying such as are not content with the present government as it is by law establish'd, an aptitude to the setling the minds of such as are but seekers and erraticks in religion an aim at the uniting of our Protestant-dissenters in church and state : whereby the worst of all conspiracies lately rais'd against both, may be the greatest blessing, which could have happen'd to either of them : to which is added an appendix in order to the conviction of those three enemies to the deity, the atheist, the infidel and the setter up of science to the prejudice of religion / by Thomas Pierce ...

governor_n and_o law_n be_v certain_o the_o apt_a of_o any_o other_o next_o to_o that_o of_o our_o obedience_n to_o god_n himself_o whereof_o this_o doctrine_n be_v a_o most_o necessary_a part_n too_o 3._o to_o keep_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o bond_n of_o peace_n and_o to_o congregate_v into_o one_o body_n the_o most_o disjointed_a and_o scatter_a member_n in_o church_n and_o

and_o most_o 18._o froward_a governor_n §_o 6._o it_o be_v not_o only_o most_o foolish_o but_o most_o nefarious_o pretend_v that_o the_o piety_n or_o impiety_n the_o religion_n or_o irreligion_n of_o they_o that_o be_v over_o we_o in_o the_o lord_n can_v either_o widen_v or_o contract_v our_o divine_a obligation_n to_o strict_a obedience_n for_o never_o be_v any_o incarnate_a devil_n more_o incomparable_o impious_a than_o those_o emperor_n of_o rome_n tiberius_n and_o nero_n who_o yet_o our_o saviour_n and_o s._n paul_n command_v their_o follower_n to_o obey_v and_o obey_v themselves_o for_o obedience_n to_o magistrate_n be_v of_o divine_a right_n strong_o found_v upon_o the_o will_n and_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o even_o a_o part_n of_o our_o obedience_n to_o god_n himself_o whilst_o it_o be_v pay_v to_o that_o authority_n which_o god_n have_v command_v we_o to_o pay_v a_o obedience_n to_o can_v possible_o be_v due_a to_o the_o man_n as_o man_n or_o to_o the_o good_a as_o

when_o our_o governor_n be_v rightful_a and_o do_v only_o command_v what_o god_n do_v nowhere_o forbid_v or_o do_v only_o forbid_v what_o god_n do_v nowhere_o command_v we_o there_o we_o must_v obey_v
