wherewith_o you_o shall_v reverence_v the_o king_n as_o god_n lieutenant_n so_o must_v you_o also_o join_v thereunto_o a_o unfeigned_a love_n for_o as_o almighty_a god_n be_v to_o be_v love_v because_o he_o be_v merciful_a so_o the_o king_n be_v appoint_v by_o god_n must_v be_v love_v because_o he_o be_v thy_o protector_n here_o on_o earth_n solomon_n say_v that_o the_o king_n indignation_n be_v the_o messenger_n of_o death_n whereby_o i_o will_v frame_v my_o argument_n from_o the_o contrary_n that_o he_o be_v to_o be_v love_v lest_o his_o indignation_n be_v just_o kindle_v thou_o be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v it_o next_o unto_o the_o king_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v the_o magistrate_n which_o be_v appoint_v for_o administration_n of_o justice_n and_o politic_a government_n these_o magistrate_n must_v also_o be_v honour_v obey_v and_o love_v honour_v because_o they_o be_v the_o substitute_n of_o the_o king_n unto_o who_o all_o honour_n on_o earth_n appertain_v obey_v because_o their_o office_n be_v appoint_v by_o the_o king_n authority_n and_o love_v because_o they_o be_v the_o grave_a and_o expert_a personage_n which_o devise_n law_n and_o constitution_n for_o continuance_n of_o peace_n and_o tranquillity_n the_o apostle_n paul_n in_o his_o xiii._o chapter_n of_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n teach_v plain_o that_o ruler_n bear_v not_o the_o sword_n in_o vain_a say_v let_v every_o soul_n be_v subject_a unto_o the_o high_a power_n for_o there_o be_v no_o power_n but_o of_o god_n again_o the_o ruler_n say_v he_o do_v not_o bear_v the_o sword_n in_o vain_a wherefore_o you_o must_v needs_o be_v subject_a not_o only_o for_o fear_n but_o also_o for_o conscience_n and_o sanct_fw-fr peter_n in_o his_o first_o epistle_n and_o the_o second_o chapter_n do_v sufficient_o teach_v we_o this_o point_n say_v submit_v yourself_o unto_o all_o manner_n ordinance_n of_o man_n for_o the_o lord_n sake_n whether_o it_o be_v unto_o the_o king_n as_o have_v the_o pre-eminence_n or_o unto_o the_o ruler_n as_o unto_o they_o that_o be_v send_v of_o he_o for_o the_o punishment_n of_o evil_a doer_n but_o for_o the_o laud_n of_o they_o that_o do_v well_o whereby_o appear_v that_o the_o magistrate_n be_v not_o only_o to_o be_v fear_v because_o they_o punish_v offender_n but_o also_o to_o be_v love_v because_o they_o cherish_v the_o virtuous_a and_o for_o conclusion_n of_o this_o point_n if_o you_o desire_v to_o be_v good_a man_n then_o learn_v to_o perform_v duty_n towards_o all_o magistrate_n
