no_o such_o inference_n can_v be_v make_v for_o the_o apostle_n speak_v general_o we_o may_v as_o well_o prove_v that_o they_o that_o refuse_v the_o parliament_n war_n resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n for_o the_o apostle_n speak_v large_o all_o power_n be_v of_o god_n and_o parliamentary_a power_n be_v power_n be_v right_o of_o god_n therefore_o he_o that_o resist_v that_o power_n resist_v

so_o frequent_o agitate_a i_o need_v not_o insist_v on_o it_o wherefore_o i_o proceed_v the_o three_o argument_n that_o he_o bring_v it_o be_v from_o the_o end_n of_o these_o they_o be_v not_o a_o

this_o reason_n in_o my_o text_n for_o he_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n to_o thou_o for_o good_a in_o which_o word_n observe_v first_o the_o magistrate_n describe_v by_o his_o office_n or_o nature_n he_o be_v a_o minister_n second_o by_o the_o efficient_a cause_n he_o be_v of_o god_n and_o three_o by_o the_o end_n to_o thou_o for_o good_a 1._o he_o be_v a_o minister_n a_o minister_n in_o what_o sense_n you_o hear_v not_o a_o minister_n as_o nabuchadnezzar_n be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o minister_n or_o as_o attila_n be_v call_v flagellum_fw-la dei_fw-la a_o scourge_n of_o god_n by_o way_n of_o god_n providence_n work_v such_o and_o such_o thing_n no_o but_o he_o be_v a_o minister_n by_o way_n of_o command_n and_o by_o way_n of_o approbation_n the_o greek_a word_n be_v diaconos_fw-la those_o word_n that_o be_v apply_v now_o and_o appropriate_v to_o ecclesiastical_a governor_n they_o be_v at_o first_o use_v of_o civil_a as_o episcopos_fw-la the_o same_o be_v use_v by_o the_o

some_o state_n commodity_n and_o thus_o diaconos_fw-la here_o in_o the_o text_n though_o it_o be_v use_v now_o ecclesiastical_o yet_o at_o first_o it_o be_v take_v large_o for_o any_o one_o that_o do_v serve_v and_o so_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o word_n afterward_o here_o use_v it_o be_v not_o as_o the_o papist_n will_v have_v it_o only_o to_o be_v appropriate_v to_o sacrifice_v but_o be_v extend_v large_o unto_o all_o kind_n of_o service_n he_o be_v a_o minister_n his_o power_n therefore_o be_v bound_v and_o second_o he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v of_o god_n that_o be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n i_o shall_v speak_v more_o of_o that_o anon_o and_o three_o you_o have_v the_o end_n first_o there_o be_v the_o finis_fw-la cvi_fw-la the_o end_n for_o who_o and_o that_o be_v

for_o he_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n to_o thou_o for_o thy_o good_a thus_o you_o have_v the_o word_n explain_v now_o the_o doctrine_n that_o i_o will_v raise_v from_o the_o point_n shall_v be_v this_o that_o magistracy_n or_o government_n be_v appoint_v of_o god_n for_o the_o good_a of_o mankind_n in_o the_o handle_n of_o this_o first_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o how_o it_o be_v of_o god_n with_o the_o attribute_n that_o the_o scripture_n give_v to_o the_o person_n in_o it_o second_o the_o end_n of_o it_o three_o the_o extent_n of_o this_o power_n and_o fourthly_a the_o qualification_n of_o the_o person_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o and_o so_o make_v application_n not_o intend_v to_o be_v tedious_a magistracy_n or_o government_n it_o be_v appoint_v and_o ordain_v of_o god_n for_o the_o good_a of_o mankind_n first_o the_o apostle_n here_o speak_v not_o of_o person_n but_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o office_n and_o of_o the_o government_n itself_o and_o then_o withal_o he_o speak_v not_o of_o the_o abuse_n of_o the_o power_n and_o of_o the_o office_n but_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o use_n of_o it_o the_o right_a use_n of_o it_o now_o i_o say_v magistracy_n it_o be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n not_o only_o under_o the_o old_a testament_n as_o anabaptist_n will_v have_v it_o but_o also_o under_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o that_o it_o be_v so_o it_o will_v appear_v by_o place_n of_o scripture_n that_o i_o shall_v bring_v only_o this_o you_o be_v to_o take_v notice_n of_o that_o magistracy_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v of_o god_n partly_o because_o god_n be_v the_o god_n of_o order_n and_o so_o positive_o he_o command_v it_o and_o then_o partly_o because_o he_o have_v ingraft_v it_o in_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o government_n and_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v power_n those_o two_o way_n it_o be_v of_o god_n but_o now_o in_o magistracy_n or_o government_n there_o be_v these_o four_o thing_n considerable_a first_o there_o be_v the_o nature_n and_o the_o form_n or_o kind_n of_o it_o as_o government_n whether_o monarchical_a aristocratical_a or_o democraticall_a now_o all_o these_o be_v of_o god_n one_o as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o and_o then_o in_o the_o second_o place_n you_o have_v the_o designation_n or_o the_o application_n of_o government_n unto_o this_o or_o that_o man_n and_o this_o be_v of_o man_n and_o then_o three_o you_o have_v the_o extent_n of_o this_o power_n how_o far_o their_o power_n shall_v reach_v and_o this_o also_o be_v of_o man_n and_o then_o last_o there_o be_v the_o use_n of_o this_o power_n and_o this_o also_o be_v of_o man_n though_o to_o use_v it_o well_o be_v of_o god_n so_o then_o you_o may_v see_v in_o what_o sense_n it_o be_v say_v that_o magistracy_n or_o government_n be_v of_o god_n and_o that_o it_o be_v so_o appear_v by_o these_o argument_n first_o because_o the_o apostle_n not_o only_o here_o to_o the_o roman_n but_o likewise_o in_o the_o epistle_n to_o timothy_n and_o in_o the_o ephesian_n do_v diligent_o press_v this_o duty_n of_o submit_v unto_o government_n now_o if_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n absolute_o unlawful_a if_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v absolute_o a_o sin_n why_o then_o will_v the_o apostle_n press_v those_o duty_n and_o second_o you_o have_v example_n in_o the_o scripture_n of_o those_o that_o do_v make_v use_n of_o the_o magistrate_n as_o paul_n when_o he_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o his_o life_n he_o make_v use_v of_o the_o magistrate_n for_o the_o save_n of_o himself_o which_o how_o can_v he_o do_v if_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n three_o the_o second_o psalm_n and_o in_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n you_o have_v prophecy_n and_o psalm_n by_o way_n of_o exhortation_n and_o instruction_n unto_o magistrate_n that_o they_o shall_v receive_v christ_n and_o his_o kingdom_n and_o order_n and_o worship_n and_o government_n now_o all_o these_o thing_n can_v not_o be_v if_o the_o thing_n be_v unlawful_a yea_o it_o be_v so_o of_o god_n and_o so_o natural_a that_o divine_n do_v think_v that_o magistracy_n and_o government_n will_v have_v be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n for_o certain_o there_o will_v have_v be_v paternal_a authority_n and_o filial_a subjection_n and_o why_o when_o the_o world_n shall_v have_v increase_v by_o time_n shall_v there_o not_o have_v be_v subjection_n unto_o magistrate_n not_o indeed_o by_o way_n of_o fear_n or_o by_o way_n of_o pain_n as_o it_o be_v now_o no_o more_o than_o a_o child_n will_v have_v be_v obedient_a to_o his_o parent_n on_o such_o term_n but_o in_o a_o happy_a and_o in_o a_o bless_a way_n and_o for_o order_n sake_n thus_o you_o see_v it_o be_v of_o god_n and_o in_o what_o sense_n in_o the_o next_o place_n consider_v the_o title_n that_o the_o scripture_n give_v unto_o magistrate_n which_o mighty_o set_v forth_o their_o duty_n and_o their_o office_n as_o in_o joh._n 10.35_o they_o be_v call_v god_n it_o be_v a_o place_n that_o be_v quote_v out_o of_o the_o psalm_n if_o he_o call_v they_o god_n to_o who_o the_o word_n of_o god_n come_v hensius_n will_v have_v it_o against_o who_o the_o word_n of_o god_n come_v and_o certain_o if_o you_o consult_v with_o the_o psalm_n that_o seem_v to_o be_v reprehensory_a and_o objurgatory_n to_o those_o that_o be_v governor_n and_o our_o saviour_n argument_n be_v strong_a if_o he_o call_v they_o against_o who_o the_o word_n of_o god_n come_v come_v condemn_v of_o they_o and_o chide_v of_o they_o and_o reprove_v of_o they_o if_o he_o call_v they_o god_n then_o be_v it_o any_o great_a

but_o afterward_o when_o by_o experience_n he_o do_v see_v that_o the_o gangreen_n do_v increase_v and_o that_o it_o will_v spoil_v the_o whole_a body_n and_o when_o he_o have_v experience_n that_o man_n who_o be_v by_o fear_n bring_v into_o their_o duty_n at_o first_o yet_o afterward_o they_o begin_v to_o know_v and_o love_v the_o truth_n he_o alter_v and_o change_v his_o mind_n yet_o notwithstanding_o many_o thing_n be_v wary_o to_o be_v say_v here_o i_o will_v but_o brief_o touch_v they_o and_o so_o go_v on_o to_o other_o matter_n as_o in_o the_o first_o place_n the_o most_o proper_a and_o suitable_a and_o genuine_a way_n to_o cure_v a_o error_n be_v to_o bring_v argument_n out_o of_o the_o scripture_n fides_n est_fw-la donum_fw-la dei_fw-la non_fw-la caesaris_fw-la say_v

notwithstanding_o he_o may_v compel_v to_o the_o external_a mean_n of_o faith_n and_o of_o salvation_n as_o you_o see_v all_o the_o magistrate_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n do_v and_o parent_n may_v do_v it_o and_o aught_o to_o do_v it_o and_o then_o why_o shall_v it_o be_v deny_v unto_o a_o magistrate_n again_o in_o the_o next_o place_n there_o be_v a_o wary_a distinction_n to_o be_v make_v between_o error_n some_o that_o overthrow_n fundamental_o whether_o direct_o or_o indirect_o immediate_o or_o mediate_o and_o here_o a_o great_a deal_n more_o severity_n be_v to_o be_v use_v as_o

most_o prudent_a to_o be_v less_o accept_v with_o the_o people_n because_o they_o be_v circumspect_a and_o cautelous_a and_o wary_a in_o what_o they_o do_v whereas_o papulus_fw-la tavet_fw-la

yet_o for_o all_o that_o wisdom_n be_v necessary_a no_o man_n will_v bring_v a_o little_a light_n into_o a_o great_a room_n and_o a_o little_a wisdom_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v bring_v into_o the_o
