of_o this_o will_v further_o appear_v if_o we_o consider_v how_o often_o the_o apostle_n inculcate_n this_o very_a thing_n it_o be_v this_o he_o begin_v with_o 1_o cor._n 1.10_o which_o he_o press_v with_o entreaty_n and_o conjure_v they_o by_o that_o bless_a name_n to_o which_o all_o shall_v bow_v and_o yield_v now_o i_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n by_o the_o name_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o you_o speak_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o division_n among_o you_o and_o it_o be_v this_o he_o end_v with_o 2_o cor._n 13.11_o and_o endear_v the_o command_n with_o the_o promise_n of_o a_o blessing_n which_o will_v sufficient_o crown_v our_o obedience_n be_v of_o one_o mind_n live_v in_o peace_n and_o the_o god_n of_o peace_n shall_v be_v with_o you_o and_o wherefore_o be_v this_o exhortation_n so_o frequent_o repeat_v but_o to_o show_v how_o high_o necessary_a unity_n be_v since_o without_o it_o there_o will_v be_v little_a of_o that_o peace_n and_o charity_n which_o shall_v be_v among_o christians_n which_o make_v kingdom_n and_o society_n happy_a therefore_o since_o unity_n be_v the_o bond_n of_o peace_n since_o unless_o some_o

difference_n and_o mischief_n may_v be_v prevent_v we_o must_v needs_o be_v subject_a three_o without_o subjection_n there_o can_v be_v no_o order_n but_o a_o strange_a confusion_n if_o there_o be_v no_o obedience_n from_o the_o child_n to_o the_o parent_n if_o there_o be_v no_o subjection_n from_o the_o servant_n to_o the_o master_n no_o submission_n from_o the_o subject_a to_o the_o ruler_n it_o will_v be_v safe_o live_v among_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o wilderness_n than_o among_o man_n we_o be_v not_o all_o bear_a parent_n or_o master_n or_o governor_n and_o questionless_a we_o ought_v not_o to_o usurp_v these_o place_n for_o god_n have_v command_v child_n to_o obey_v their_o parent_n servant_n their_o master_n and_o also_o subject_n their_o governor_n and_o if_o a_o parent_n or_o

for_o the_o disorder_n and_o undecency_n of_o his_o child_n or_o servant_n and_o that_o man_n that_o disobeye_n his_o superior_n at_o the_o same_o time_n teach_v and_o plead_v that_o his_o child_n

of_o confusion_n if_o therefore_o we_o break_v from_o those_o station_n which_o his_o most_o wise_a providence_n have_v set_v we_o if_o with_o the_o complice_n of_o corah_n we_o take_v too_o much_o upon_o we_o though_o with_o uzzah_n to_o support_v that_o ark_n which_o faction_n and_o profaneness_n have_v put_v into_o a_o totter_a condition_n we_o provoke_v the_o god_n of_o order_n and_o have_v cause_n to_o fear_v his_o vengeance_n wherefore_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v subject_a four_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v subject_n because_o our_o superior_n must_v needs_o command_v man_n common_o be_v apt_a to_o run_v into_o error_n and_o the_o pride_n or_o ignorance_n of_o some_o man_n make_v they_o as_o apt_a to_o deceive_v and_o to_o be_v deceive_v to_o mislead_v and_o to_o be_v mislead_v into_o

proceed_v to_o hatred_n and_o this_o hatred_n bring_v forth_o cruelty_n blood_n and_o ruin_n to_o the_o scandal_n and_o undo_n of_o religion_n and_o justice_n now_o those_o who_o god_n set_v over_o a_o nation_n be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o prevent_v these_o misery_n and_o to_o institute_v some_o way_n to_o reduce_v man_n to_o that_o unity_n love_n and_o charity_n which_o shall_v be_v among_o christian_n if_o therefore_o they_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o command_v we_o no_o less_o to_o obey_v for_o without_o our_o obedience_n their_o command_n can_v be_v no_o remedy_n if_o the_o governor_n of_o a_o church_n or_o nation_n do_v not_o endeavour_v to_o prevent_v by_o some_o injunction_n those_o misery_n which_o fall_v upon_o a_o people_n for_o who_o soul_n they_o watch_v they_o questionless_a must_v give_v a_o account_n at_o the_o great_a audit_n and_o so_o likewise_o they_o who_o be_v the_o people_n of_o such_o a_o church_n or_o nation_n if_o they_o obey_v not_o those_o that_o rule_n over_o they_o in_o those_o injunction_n which_o for_o so_o good_a a_o end_n be_v lay_v upon_o they_o they_o will_v find_v a_o dreadful_a doom_n at_o the_o last_o day_n when_o they_o shall_v appear_v before_o his_o tribunal_n who_o be_v the_o god_n of_o love_n and_o unity_n wherefore_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v subject_a and_o thus_o we_o see_v in_o what_o thing_n we_o must_v be_v subject_a and_o also_o wherein_o lie_v the_o necessity_n and_o i_o presume_v this_o necessity_n be_v not_o take_v away_o by_o the_o suspension_n of_o the_o penal_a law_n and_o my_o presumption_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v groundless_a that_o it_o be_v found_v upon_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o that_o part_n of_o my_o text_n which_o i_o be_o now_o go_v to_o treat_v of_o which_o tell_v we_o we_o must_v be_v subject_a not_o only_o for_o wrath_n but_o also_o for_o conscience_n sake_n not_o only_o for_o fear_n of_o the_o punishment_n but_o also_o for_o the_o love_n of_o the_o duty_n first_o for_o wrath_n to_o avoid_v this_o we_o must_v be_v subject_a for_o self-preservation_n be_v a_o duty_n which_o can_v be_v dispense_v with_o and_o therefore_o that_o man_n that_o shall_v suffer_v rather_o than_o perform_v this_o or_o that_o thing_n which_o be_v indifferent_a his_o blood_n be_v upon_o his_o own_o head_n he_o that_o will_v sacrifice_v his_o life_n or_o health_n or_o estate_n to_o a_o obstinate_a groundless_a humour_n although_o he_o scruple_n a_o ceremony_n be_v so_o far_o superstitious_a that_o he_o be_v a_o great_a idolater_n for_o he_o offer_v up_o all_o to_o his_o own_o vain_a imagination_n for_o what_o shall_v make_v kneel_v at_o our_o prayer_n less_o lawful_a than_o stand_v or_o a_o form_n of_o prayer_n than_o a_o directory_n since_o no_o scripture_n command_v the_o latter_a rather_o than_o the_o former_a one_o be_v command_v at_o least_o by_o those_o who_o god_n have_v set_v over_o we_o the_o other_o neither_o by_o god_n or_o

to_o disobedience_n in_o such_o thing_n man_n call_v that_o persecution_n which_o be_v but_o be_v buffet_v for_o their_o fault_n and_o glory_n in_o suffer_v for_o the_o cause_n of_o god_n when_o
