the_o foul_a colour_n of_o guilt_n another_o method_n by_o which_o conscience_n bind_v on_o we_o the_o sense_n of_o duty_n and_o subjection_n to_o those_o set_n over_o we_o be_v the_o obligation_n to_o pray_v for_o they_o according_a to_o that_o great_a rubric_n of_o prayer_n s._n paul_n give_v 2_o i_o exhort_v therefore_o that_o first_o of_o all_o supplication_n prayer_n intercession_n and_o give_v of_o thanks_o be_v make_v for_o all_o man_n for_o king_n and_o all_o that_o be_v in_o authority_n that_o we_o may_v lead_v a_o quiet_a and_o peaceable_a life_n in_o all_o godliness_n and_o honesty_n which_o whosoever_o be_v a_o christian_n must_v needs_o observe_v this_o than_o must_v every_o day_n awaken_v and_o keep_v alive_a the_o sense_n of_o duty_n to_o those_o over_o we_o so_o that_o if_o we_o have_v be_v prevail_v on_o to_o undutiful_a course_n when_o we_o retire_v to_o our_o devotion_n this_o must_v certain_o open_v our_o eye_n to_o discern_v and_o repent_v of_o our_o fault_n for_o if_o we_o pray_v and_o act_v contradiction_n than_o we_o either_o mock_v god_n by_o pray_v for_o that_o we_o do_v not_o desire_v and_o which_o we_o study_v to_o destroy_v or_o we_o act_n most_o impious_o in_o opposition_n to_o that_o we_o judge_v ourselves_o bind_v to_o pray_v for_o and_o every_o man_n who_o conscience_n be_v not_o strange_o asleep_a will_v soon_o discover_v this_o double_a deal_n in_o himself_o if_o he_o pray_v against_o what_o he_o act_v and_o be_v act_v against_o his_o prayer_n thus_o it_o appear_v that_o conscience_n bring_v the_o sense_n of_o our_o duty_n to_o the_o sovereign_a power_n near_o we_o and_o to_o close_a conflict_n with_o our_o daily_a thought_n and_o force_v upon_o we_o a_o frequent_a review_n of_o they_o nor_o be_v this_o a_o blind_a and_o brutish_a subjection_n to_o which_o conscience_n tie_v we_o but_o it_o bind_v it_o on_o we_o with_o the_o full_a evidence_n of_o reason_n 3._o and_o this_o be_v the_o three_o particular_a to_o which_o my_o design_n now_o lead_v i_o wherein_o i_o be_o to_o lay-out_a those_o argument_n that_o conscience_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christianity_n offer_v for_o this_o subjection_n we_o must_v pay_v the_o magistrate_n i_o shall_v not_o meddle_v with_o those_o reason_n that_o may_v be_v draw_v from_o the_o rule_n of_o humane_a policy_n the_o nature_n of_o society_n the_o origine_fw-la and_o end_v of_o magistracy_n but_o shall_v confine_v my_o discourse_n to_o those_o which_o natural_a and_o reveal_v religion_n do_v offer_v for_o oblige_v we_o to_o subjection_n to_o the_o high_a power_n 1._o and_o first_o of_o all_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o these_o power_n be_v of_o god_n 3._o that_o they_o be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n his_o deputy_n minister_n and_o vicegerent_n that_o have_v the_o sword_n of_o justice_n put_v in_o their_o hand_n by_o he_o for_o the_o punishment_n of_o evil_a doer_n and_o the_o encouragement_n of_o those_o that_o do_v well_o and_o he_o himself_o have_v say_v they_o be_v god_n 6._o a_o strain_n of_o speech_n that_o if_o divine_a authority_n do_v not_o warrant_v it_o will_v pass_v for_o impudent_a and_o blasphemous_a flattery_n though_o then_o the_o power_n that_o be_v over_o we_o be_v clothe_v with_o our_o nature_n and_o be_v subject_a to_o like_a passion_n and_o infirmity_n with_o we_o and_o live_v and_o die_v like_a man_n yet_o for_o all_o that_o we_o must_v look_v on_o they_o as_o sacred_a and_o divine_a by_o their_o character_n the_o severe_a respect_n that_o conscience_n enjoin_v we_o to_o pay_v authority_n appear_v in_o the_o instance_n of_o david_n who_o though_o pursue_v by_o saul_n with_o all_o the_o violence_n and_o injustice_n of_o oppression_n and_o cruelty_n yet_o when_o he_o have_v he_o in_o his_o hand_n and_o offer_v he_o the_o small_a affront_n of_o cut_v off_o the_o hem_n of_o his_o garment_n 6._o his_o heart_n smite_v he_o for_o it_o this_o be_v a_o character_n of_o a_o man_n according_a to_o god_n heart_n depute_a power_n be_v only_o accountable_a to_o those_o from_o who_o they_o derive_v their_o authority_n so_o the_o high_a power_n be_v depute_v by_o god_n must_v indeed_o render_v to_o he_o a_o severe_a account_n of_o their_o administration_n but_o not_o to_o other_o we_o be_v therefore_o to_o obey_v they_o for_o the_o lord_n sake_n 13._o and_o to_o be_v subject_n to_o they_o for_o conscience-sake_n 2._o another_o consideration_n that_o oblige_v to_o subjection_n which_o religion_n offer_v be_v the_o steady_a and_o firm_a belief_n of_o the_o government_n of_o the_o world_n by_o that_o unerring_a providence_n that_o wise_o maintain_v that_o great_a fabric_n and_o vast_a frame_n of_o being_n which_o itself_o raise_v out_o of_o nothing_o we_o be_v apt_a upon_o the_o first_o appearance_n of_o thing_n to_o judge_v rash_o even_o before_o we_o have_v see_v all_o the_o side_n and_o secret_n of_o humane_a counsel_n which_o will_v often_o alter_v our_o thought_n very_o much_o from_o our_o overforward_a judgement_n but_o the_o secret_n of_o the_o divine_a counsel_n lie_v hide_v from_o all_o the_o live_n and_o yet_o the_o long_a experience_n which_o the_o oeconomy_n of_o the_o world_n offer_v we_o may_v just_o convince_v we_o that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o pass_v sentence_n hasty_o and_o that_o often_o those_o thing_n which_o do_v look_v most_o cloudy_a and_o threaten_v some_o dismal_a consequence_n do_v by_o the_o secret_a governing_n of_o that_o supreme_a mind_n produce_v effect_n very_o different_a from_o those_o that_o not_o without_o great_a probability_n be_v fear_v this_o therefore_o must_v clear_v the_o melancholy_n of_o our_o discourage_v and_o deject_v mind_n and_o dissipate_v those_o thick_a mist_n of_o fear_n and_o jealousy_n which_o may_v otherwise_o damp_n and_o dishearten_v we_o he_o that_o give_v the_o law_n to_o day_n and_o night_n and_o can_v reverse_v these_o when_o he_o will_v that_o teach_v the_o whole_a frame_n of_o nature_n those_o motion_n they_o observe_v and_o yet_o can_v force_v the_o sun_n both_o to_o stop_v and_o to_o give_v ground_n when_o he_o will_v and_o can_v make_v the_o sea_n to_o rise_v up_o in_o hill_n be_v able_a to_o extricate_v the_o dark_a and_o most_o involve_a raveling_n of_o second_o cause_n we_o be_v therefore_o secure_a 28_o know_v that_o all_o thing_n work_v together_o for_o good_a to_o they_o that_o love_n god_n believe_v that_o his_o providence_n watch_v over_o his_o church_n and_o all_o that_o trust_v in_o he_o so_o that_o not_o a_o hair_n of_o their_o head_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n without_o his_o care_n and_o that_o he_o have_v give_v his_o angel_n charge_v to_o encamp_v about_o and_o minister_v to_o the_o heir_n of_o salvation_n and_o this_o may_v well_o supersede_n our_o fear_n and_o throw_v off_o the_o anxiety_n of_o all_o perplex_v thought_n and_o compose_v our_o mind_n to_o a_o humble_a subjection_n to_o those_o god_n have_v bring_v we_o under_o i_o know_v some_o may_v think_v i_o plead_v here_o the_o stupidity_n of_o fate_n which_o must_v needs_o dishearten_v and_o slacken_v all_o good_a intention_n and_o design_n but_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v the_o order_n god_n have_v fix_v in_o the_o government_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o particular_a station_n wherein_o he_o have_v place_v and_o post_v we_o out_o of_o which_o we_o be_v not_o to_o stir_v on_o the_o pretence_n of_o heroical_a excitation_n which_o when_o examine_v will_v be_v find_v the_o heat_n of_o a_o warm_a fancy_n or_o the_o swell_n of_o a_o elevate_a mind_n that_o distrust_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n as_o if_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o compass_v his_o design_n and_o therefore_o he_o must_v stretch_v out_o his_o hand_n to_o help_v he_o labour_v under_o too_o great_a a_o load_n which_o be_v indeed_o the_o language_n of_o all_o those_o who_o pretend_v zeal_n for_o his_o service_n do_v step_n out_o of_o their_o station_n and_o meddle_v with_o matter_n that_o be_v too_o high_a for_o they_o the_o fate_n of_o uzzah_n shall_v have_v teach_v we_o both_o more_o wisdom_n and_o religion_n who_o see_v the_o ark_n of_o god_n shake_v 7_o and_o consider_v how_o dismal_a a_o omen_n the_o overturning_a that_o sacred_a repository_n have_v be_v and_o how_o disgraceful_a and_o impious_a it_o will_v be_v to_o see_v those_o precious_a symbol_n of_o the_o divine_a presence_n lay_v in_o the_o dust_n and_o not_o remember_v that_o none_o but_o the_o family_n of_o aaron_n may_v touch_v those_o holy_a mystery_n put_v out_o his_o hand_n to_o hold_v they_o but_o be_v strike_v dead_a on_o the_o place_n we_o be_v rather_o to_o look_v on_o and_o adore_v the_o hide_a trace_n and_o method_n of_o the_o divine_a counsel_n and_o patient_o to_o wait_v for_o that_o issue_n of_o
