honour_n and_o never_o do_v they_o hurt_v or_o damage_n but_o defend_v they_o to_o your_o power_n but_o if_o notwithstanding_o your_o care_n and_o endeavour_n to_o the_o contrary_a any_o disaffect_v

obedient_a saviour_n who_o say_v he_o that_o take_v up_o the_o sword_n that_o be_v without_o or_o against_o authority_n shall_v perish_v by_o the_o sword_n let_v their_o calamity_n as_o solomon_n

this_o audience_n at_o least_o in_o this_o honourable_a company_n that_o will_v not_o hearty_o say_v amen_n there_o be_v other_o excellent_a use_v to_o be_v make_v of_o this_o doctrine_n especial_o against_o the_o unchristian_a practice_n of_o those_o man_n who_o not_o have_v the_o fe●r_n of_o the_o king_n of_o king_n before_o their_o eye_n love_v to_o speak_v and_o do_v every_o thing_n as_o far_o as_o safe_o they_o may_v against_o the_o honour_n of_o his_o vicegerent_n standr_v his_o person_n and_o government_n belie_v or_o mis-construing_a his_o best_a proceed_n blame_v or_o censure_v his_o most_o innocent_a action_n delight_v in_o his_o misfortune_n triumph_v in_o his_o want_n aggravate_v his_o infirmity_n disperse_v story_n and_o rumour_n to_o his_o prejudice_n and_o love_v to_o

if_o you_o ask_v these_o man_n with_o what_o conscience_n they_o can_v thus_o treat_v their_o sovereign_n they_o will_v tell_v you_o they_o do_v nothing_o but_o what_o they_o can_v justify_v by_o law_n as_o if_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o not_o the_o law_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o complete_a and_o adequate_a rule_n of_o christian_a duty_n subjection_n and_o obedience_n or_o as_o if_o man_n be_v to_o be_v try_v at_o the_o last_o judgement_n by_o those_o and_o not_o by_o these_o but_o alas_o the_o man_n of_o god_n as_o the_o apostle_n call_v a_o christian_n can_v be_v make_v perfect_a in_o any_o one_o duty_n by_o the_o law_n nor_o furnish_v by_o they_o unto_o every_o good_a work_n but_o quite_o contrary_a the_o law_n of_o the_o realm_n will_v allow_v we_o to_o do_v many_o grievous_a thing_n against_o father_n mother_n wife_n child_n or_o any_o other_o sort_n of_o relation_n or_o neighbour_n for_o which_o without_o repentance_n we_o shall_v be_v sure_o damn_v wherefore_o as_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n be_v not_o the_o measure_n of_o our_o duty_n of_o our_o parent_n etc._n etc._n so_o neither_o be_v they_o the_o perfect_a rule_n of_o our_o duty_n to_o our_o prince_n as_o it_o be_v plain_a from_o the_o verse_n after_o my_o text_n where_o the_o apostle_n have_v tell_v the_o roman_n that_o the_o emperor_n be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n he_o than_o add_v wherefore_o you_o must_v needs_o be_v subject_n not_o only_o for_o wrath_n or_o fear_v of_o legal_a punishment_n but_o also_o for_o conscience-sake_n to_o conclude_v all_o these_o disloyal_a man_n with_o which_o these_o kingdom_n so_o abound_v act_n more_o like_a greek_n than_o christian_n and_o as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v breed_v at_o athens_n and_o sparta_n rather_o than_o in_o the_o school_n of_o christ_n otherwise_o they_o will_v be_v better_o affect_v towards_o god_n anoint_v they_o will_v pray_v more_o for_o he_o and_o murmur_n and_o clamour_n less_o against_o he_o as_o know_v that_o god_n give_v we_o what_o king_n soever_o he_o please_v and_o that_o the_o king_n heart_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o he_o turn_v it_o whithersoever_o he_o will_n he_o be_v king_n of_o king_n lord_n of_o lord_n and_o the_o only_a ruler_n of_o prince_n he_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o sovereign_a power_n every_o king_n be_v his_o vicegerent_n and_o every_o kingdom_n a_o theocracy_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o bless_v the_o lord_n before_o all_o the_o congregation_n and_o say_v in_o the_o word_n of_o david_n 1_o chron._n 29._o thou_o o_o lord_n be_v the_o
