subject_a which_o will_v not_o cost_v much_o money_n nor_o take_v up_o much_o time_n to_o read_v it_o but_o the_o design_n i_o propose_v to_o myself_o be_v careful_o to_o consider_v the_o testimony_n of_o scripture_n which_o be_v beyond_o all_o other_o authority_n and_o to_o vindicate_v they_o from_o the_o cavil_n and_o exception_n of_o the_o several_a patron_n of_o resistance_n and_o the_o

himself_o set_v up_o a_o sovereign_n and_o irresistible_a power_n in_o the_o jewish_a nation_n and_o that_o during_o all_o that_o time_n it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o subject_n upon_o any_o pretence_n whatsoever_o to_o resist_v their_o prince_n 2._o the_o second_o contain_v the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o saviour_n concern_v subjection_n to_o sovereign_a prince_n 3._o the_o three_o contain_v a_o account_n of_o our_o saviour_n example_n in_o this_o matter_n 4._o the_o four_o consider_v what_o saint_n paul_n doctrine_n be_v about_o subjection_n 5._o the_o five_o the_o doctrine_n of_o saint_n peter_n 6._o the_o six_o contain_v a_o answer_n to_o the_o most_o popular_a objection_n against_o nonresistance_n in_o examine_v the_o authority_n of_o scripture_n i_o have_v careful_o consider_v whatever_o have_v be_v plausible_o urge_v in_o defence_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o resistance_n and_o reduce_v it_o under_o those_o particular_a text_n which_o have_v be_v think_v most_o to_o favour_v it_o and_o i_o do_v not_o know_v of_o any_o thing_n material_a which_o have_v be_v plead_v in_o this_o cause_n which_o i_o have_v whole_o omit_v possible_o some_o may_v complain_v that_o i_o have_v not_o observe_v the_o exact_a rule_n of_o art_n and_o method_n in_o this_o to_o propose_v the_o question_n to_o explain_v the_o term_n of_o it_o to_o produce_v my_o proof_n and_o then_o to_o answer_v the_o objection_n which_o be_v make_v against_o it_o now_o this_o i_o must_v acknowledge_v in_o part_n to_o be_v true_a and_o i_o think_v this_o discourse_n never_o the_o less_o perfect_a for_o that_o the_o proposition_n i_o undertake_v to_o prove_v be_v this_o that_o sovereign_a prince_n or_o the_o supreme_a power_n in_o any_o nation_n in_o whosoever_o it_o be_v place_v be_v in_o all_o case_n irresistible_a this_o be_v a_o plain_a proposition_n which_o need_v no_o explanation_n and_o the_o way_n i_o take_v to_o prove_v it_o be_v as_o plain_a by_o produce_v the_o testimony_n of_o scripture_n both_o of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n as_o they_o lie_v in_o order_n and_o show_v what_o power_n they_o grant_v to_o prince_n and_o what_o obedience_n they_o require_v of_o
