enjoin_v we_o as_o the_o condition_n of_o our_o eternal_a happiness_n and_o also_o be_v the_o great_a recommendation_n of_o it_o to_o all_o the_o power_n upon_o earth_n have_v in_o these_o particular_n full_o assert_v and_o i_o hope_v to_o your_o satisfaction_n the_o doctrine_n of_o loyalty_n and_o submission_n to_o king_n and_o ruler_n as_o a_o fundamental_a portion_n of_o our_o religion_n i_o pass_v now_o to_o the_o second_o part_n of_o my_o discourse_n which_o i_o shall_v brief_o touch_v viz._n ii_o that_o all_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o evangelic_n dispensation_n be_v strict_o oblige_v by_o it_o to_o exhort_v their_o hearer_n to_o the_o careful_a and_o conscionable_a practice_n of_o this_o part_n of_o their_o religion_n as_o their_o just_a and_o necessary_a duty_n this_o be_v evident_a alone_o from_o this_o apostolical_a injunction_n to_o he_o who_o st._n paul_n have_v place_v in_o the_o next_o degree_n of_o authority_n to_o himself_o and_o he_o speak_v it_o as_o a_o thing_n that_o they_o all_o both_o preacher_n and_o hearer_n know_v and_o understand_v and_o so_o it_o need_v only_o to_o put_v they_o in_o mind_n to_o be_v subject_a and_o it_o be_v plain_a enough_o without_o this_o particular_a command_n that_o we_o that_o be_v preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v bind_v to_o declare_v the_o whole_a counsel_n of_o god_n that_o we_o may_v escape_v the_o penalty_n that_o just_o belong_v to_o those_o that_o handle_v the_o word_n of_o god_n deceitful_o and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v clear_a from_o the_o blood_n of_o all_o man_n can_v never_o with_o safety_n to_o ourselves_o silent_o permit_v man_n to_o be_v mistake_v in_o or_o ignorant_a of_o so_o necessary_a a_o part_n of_o their_o christian_a duty_n but_o this_o particular_a command_n to_o we_o be_v superadd_v with_o a_o particular_a respect_n to_o the_o heretic_n that_o then_o be_v and_o such_o as_o shall_v afterward_o arise_v preach_v another_o doctrine_n and_o also_o to_o give_v still_o more_o public_a security_n to_o all_o power_n in_o every_o place_n where_o the_o gospel_n come_v that_o the_o religion_n establish_v by_o it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o make_v any_o invasion_n upon_o their_o right_n that_o it_o do_v oblige_v all_o its_o follower_n upon_o strict_a ground_n than_o any_o other_o institution_n in_o the_o world_n to_o be_v obedient_a to_o their_o authority_n and_o because_o perhaps_o there_o be_v some_o here_o that_o have_v hear_v another_o doctrine_n teach_v from_o this_o very_a place_n i_o will_v therefore_o appeal_v to_o themselves_o whether_o it_o do_v not_o much_o better_o become_v a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o peace_n in_o speed_v his_o commission_n from_o the_o god_n and_o prince_n of_o peace_n to_o preach_v this_o doctrine_n of_o peace_n meekness_n and_o obedience_n to_o magistrate_n than_o to_o hear_v they_o not_o only_o vary_v from_o but_o act_n quite_o contrary_a to_o their_o instruction_n in_o thunder_v out_o the_o furious_a and_o extravagant_a noise_n of_o curse_n you_o meroz_n and_o of_o fight_v the_o lord_n battle_n in_o elijah_n vision_n 1_o king_n 19_o 11_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o in_o the_o earthquake_n nor_o in_o the_o fire_n nor_o in_o the_o strong_a wind_n that_o rend_v the_o rock_n but_o in_o the_o still_o small_a voice_n god_n be_v not_o here_o when_o drum_n be_v beat_v and_o trumpet_n sound_v from_o the_o pulpit_n but_o we_o may_v believe_v he_o here_o and_o expect_v his_o blessing_n upon_o we_o here_o when_o we_o cheerful_o hearken_v to_o his_o minister_n that_o come_v unto_o we_o
