i_o shall_v make_v some_o practical_a inference_n from_o this_o loyal_a doctrine_n proper_a to_o this_o audience_n and_o the_o exgence_n of_o the_o time_n in_o which_o we_o live_v i._n first_o then_o that_o sovereign_a prince_n be_v god_n minister_n and_o vicegerent_n and_o reign_v by_o his_o special_a ordinance_n be_v plain_a from_o many_o express_a text_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n which_o be_v the_o loyall_a as_o well_o as_o the_o divine_a book_n in_o the_o world_n i_o will_v begin_v with_o the_o old_a testament_n who_o authority_n be_v it_o not_o of_o divine_a inspiration_n aught_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o its_o antiquity_n to_o preponderate_v with_o we_o above_o any_o other_o volume_n in_o the_o world_n there_o as_o 24._o as_o l._n 5._o c._n 24._o irenaeus_n

when_o daniel_n speak_v unto_o he_o he_o say_v thou_o o_o king_n be_v a_o king_n of_o king_n for_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n have_v give_v thou_o a_o kingdom_n power_n and_o strength_n and_o glory_n chap._n 2.37_o and_o afterward_o speak_v of_o he_o unto_o belshazzar_n his_o son_n he_o say_v o_o thou_o king_n the_o most_o high_a god_n give_v nabuchadnezzar_n thy_o father_n a_o kingdom_n and_o majesty_n and_o glory_n and_o honour_n and_o for_o the_o majesty_n that_o he_o give_v he_o all_o people_n tremble_v and_o fear_v before_o he_o who_o he_o will_v he_o slay_v and_o who_o he_o will_v he_o keep_v alive_a and_o who_o he_o will_v he_o set_v up_o and_o who_o he_o will_v he_o pull_v down_o according_a to_o this_o doctrine_n also_o god_n call_v cyrus_n his_o shepherd_n and_o anoint_v the_o very_a title_n which_o he_o give_v the_o king_n of_o israel_n who_o he_o set_v over_o his_o own_o people_n thus_o say_v the_o lord_n i_o be_o the_o lord_n that_o make_v all_o thing_n that_o

because_o you_o may_v see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n among_o sovereign_a prince_n as_o to_o the_o divinity_n of_o their_o title_n but_o that_o the_o sacred_a order_n of_o king_n in_o

be_o the_o messiah_n himself_o send_v from_o god_n to_o say_v i_o be_o his_o son_n yes_o king_n be_v petty_a god_n who_o govern_v man_n upon_o earth_n as_o michael_n and_o gabriel_n govern_v their_o

which_o i_o shall_v only_o add_v the_o verse_n before_o and_o after_o my_o text_n let_v every_o soul_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o high_a power_n for_o there_o be_v no_o power_n but_o of_o god_n the_o
