lewd_a and_o wicked_a 1._o concern_v the_o first_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o be_v the_o minister_n and_o servant_n of_o god_n and_o so_o no_o doubt_n be_v every_o faithful_a christian_a in_o his_o several_a call_n but_o special_o and_o by_o prerogative_n be_v he_o that_o minister_n of_o god_n unto_o who_o be_v commit_v either_o the_o dispensation_n of_o the_o word_n in_o the_o

earth_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o most_o honourable_a service_n and_o require_v the_o great_a respect_n and_o regard_n among_o us._n and_o such_o be_v the_o state_n of_o ruler_n and_o governor_n they_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n they_o be_v his_o deputy_n and_o surrogat_n in_o the_o high_a place_n which_o be_v the_o seat_n of_o justice_n and_o therefore_o if_o that_o of_o the_o prophet_n in_o the_o psalm_n may_v be_v right_o apply_v to_o any_o sort_n of_o man_n then_o most_o fit_o to_o prince_n and_o magistrate_n that_o god_n have_v make_v they_o a_o little_a low_o than_o the_o angel_n and_o crown_v they_o with_o glory_n and_o worship_n for_o he_o have_v set_v they_o in_o his_o own_o chair_n and_o judgement_n seat_n he_o have_v place_v they_o in_o his_o own_o stead_n he_o have_v arm_v they_o with_o his_o own_o power_n he_o have_v cover_v they_o with_o his_o own_o garment_n and_o robe_n of_o estate_n he_o have_v gird_v they_o with_o his_o own_o sword_n and_o he_o

that_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o obedience_n to_o humane_a law_n we_o do_v not_o mean_a obedience_n without_o exception_n but_o obedience_n under_o condition_n and_o limitation_n so_o long_o as_o the_o

that_o be_v unlawful_a in_o that_o case_n in_o stead_n of_o obedience_n we_o bring_v subjection_n we_o must_v not_o be_v obedient_a then_o but_o even_o then_o we_o must_v be_v subject_a in_o all_o
