from_o above_o first_o of_o all_o this_o let_v we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v a_o vain_a thing_n to_o be_v astonish_v at_o the_o fury_n of_o prince_n it_o be_v but_o miserable_a weakness_n of_o man_n that_o know_v what_o god_n be_v certain_z it_o be_v if_o we_o serve_v god_n aright_o we_o will_v not_o be_v move_v with_o the_o fear_n of_o any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n you_o see_v when_o as_o jeroboam_fw-la will_v have_v apprehend_v the_o prophet_n that_o god_n send_v to_o threaten_v his_o judgement_n upon_o he_o for_o his_o idolatry_n when_o he_o stretch_v out_o his_o hand_n to_o apprehend_v he_o god_n so_o decred_a that_o his_o hand_n wither_v that_o when_o he_o have_v stretch_v it_o out_o he_o can_v not_o pull_v it_o in_o again_o this_o god_n that_o can_v make_v the_o hand_n of_o a_o king_n to_o wither_v when_o he_o do_v oppose_v the_o counsel_n of_o god_n what_o need_v any_o man_n to_o fear_n whenas_o our_o saviour_n and_o god_n be_v on_o our_o side_n we_o know_v what_o saul_n do_v unto_o david_n he_o do_v use_v all_o his_o skill_n to_o destroy_v he_o but_o it_o be_v unpossible_a for_o he_o to_o do_v it_o because_o god_n who_o be_v the_o king_n of_o king_n be_v with_o david_n and_o god_n do_v show_v his_o power_n against_o saul_n in_o this_o when_o he_o put_v saul_n life_n into_o david_n hand_n but_o he_o never_o put_v david_n life_n into_o saules_n hand_n we_o know_v what_o enmity_n ahab_n have_v against_o elias_n the_o prophet_n yet_o the_o lord_n command_v he_o to_o go_v to_o he_o &_o the_o prophet_n answer_v the_o lord_n that_o he_o seek_v his_o life_n but_o the_o lord_n answer_v he_o say_v go_v be_v not_o afraid_a and_o the_o prophet_n go_v to_o he_o &_o tell_v he_o that_o it_o be_v he_o that_o trouble_a israel_n and_o the_o lord_n restrain_v he_o that_o he_o can_v do_v the_o prophet_n no_o harm_n infinite_a example_n in_o the_o scripture_n we_o have_v of_o this_o to_o let_v we_o see_v that_o he_o can_v hold_v king_n that_o they_o shall_v do_v no_o more_o harm_n than_o god_n will_v suffer_v they_o to_o prove_v this_o truth_n of_o god_n that_o he_o be_v king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n to_o come_v yet_o to_o make_v more_o use_n of_o this_o why_o do_v the_o apostle_n lie_v this_o before_o we_o the_o use_n be_v partly_o for_o king_n and_o partly_o for_o we_o the_o first_o lesson_n for_o king_n be_v this_o that_o i_o touch_v before_o concern_v nabuchadnezar_n how_o god_n force_v he_o to_o learn_v how_o to_o know_v god_n to_o be_v the_o king_n of_o king_n therefore_o let_v all_o potentate_n learn_v to_o know_v that_o god_n have_v rule_v over_o they_o and_o their_o kingdom_n and_o it_o be_v he_o that_o make_v they_o king_n and_o sert_n they_o in_o their_o throne_n and_o if_o they_o do_v not_o this_o it_o be_v just_a with_o god_n to_o make_v they_o will_v they_o will_v they_o to_o acknowledge_v this_o to_o their_o destruction_n for_o the_o say_n of_o isaie_n shall_v be_v accomplish_v which_o the_o lord_n there_o speak_v all_o knee_n shall_v bow_v to_o he_o and_o every_o mouth_n shall_v confess_v he_o to_o be_v the_o lord_n for_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o suffer_v himself_o long_o to_o be_v despise_v but_o in_o his_o own_o time_n he_o will_v challenge_v his_o right_n in_o despite_n of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v a_o bless_a thing_n if_o king_n will_v consider_v this_o that_o it_o be_v by_o god_n that_o they_o do_v reign_v observe_v what_o it_o be_v christ_n shall_v do_v in_o the_o last_o day_n the_o proper_a effect_n of_o this_o kingdom_n shall_v be_v to_o put_v down_o all_o principallitye_n and_o power_n and_o to_o give_v up_o his_o kingdom_n to_o god_n that_o god_n may_v be_v all_o in_o all_o 1._o corin_n 15_o then_o shall_v they_o see_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o that_o he_o be_v the_o king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n if_o king_n will_v consider_v this_o that_o the_o time_n shall_v come_v that_o the_o world_n shall_v not_o have_v a_o kingdom_n nor_o king_n but_o god_n alone_o i_o think_v they_o will_v then_o reverence_v this_o god_n in_o great_a measure_n than_o they_o do_v but_o this_o sort_n of_o doctrine_n be_v harsh_a to_o prince_n ear_n to_o think_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n above_o they_o or_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o of_o who_o they_o hold_v their_o sceptre_n and_o yet_o they_o must_v know_v this_o or_o feel_v the_o truth_n of_o it_o by_o experience_n in_o god_n judgement_n the_o second_o use_n for_o king_n and_o lord_n be_v this_o that_o the_o apostle_n do_v teach_v they_o to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v right_a to_o all_o man_n that_o they_o oppress_v no_o man_n because_o they_o have_v a_o king_n over_o they_o in_o heaven_n unto_o who_o they_o must_v give_v a_o account_n of_o their_o do_n this_o argument_n the_o apostle_n use_v to_o master_n in_o sundry_a place_n that_o they_o shall_v do_v that_o that_o be_v right_a to_o their_o servant_n know_v they_o have_v a_o master_n in_o heaven_n if_o superior_n will_v but_o acknowledge_v this_o that_o they_o have_v a_o lord_n over_o they_o that_o shall_v take_v a_o reckon_n of_o they_o aswell_o as_o they_o take_v a_o reckon_n with_o their_o inferior_n sure_o it_o will_v make_v they_o to_o do_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o be_v right_a these_o be_v the_o use_n that_o do_v concern_v king_n and_o ruler_n now_o there_o be_v great_a use_n of_o this_o likewise_o for_o ourselus_o beside_o the_o encouragement_n it_o give_v we_o not_o to_o be_v afraid_a of_o any_o power_n in_o the_o world_n but_o it_o teach_v we_o this_o lesson_n not_o to_o resist_v power_n nor_o authority_n because_o there_o be_v no_o power_n nor_o authority_n but_o it_o be_v from_o god_n as_o the_o apostle_n show_v now_o since_o all_o authority_n be_v of_o god_n he_o that_o resist_v authority_n he_o resist_v god_n but_o some_o object_n what_o if_o they_o be_v tyrant_n and_o merciless_a man_n and_o such_o as_o make_v no_o conscience_n to_o do_v wrong_a i_o answer_v even_o as_o the_o apostle_n do_v to_o servant_n who_o he_o command_v to_o be_v subject_n not_o only_o to_o their_o good_a master_n and_o such_o as_o be_v gentle_a but_o also_o to_o they_o which_o be_v froward_a so_o i_o say_v if_o thou_o will_v do_v thy_o duty_n thou_o ought_v rather_o to_o suffer_v wrong_a and_o to_o suffer_v thyself_o to_o be_v oppress_v rather_o than_o to_o lift_v up_o thyself_o against_o authority_n which_o thou_o be_v under_o for_o if_o this_o bond_n of_o subjection_n to_o prince_n be_v loose_v kingdom_n can_v not_o stand_v if_o every_o servant_n shall_v stand_v against_o their_o master_n and_o every_o subject_n against_o his_o prince_n when_o he_o be_v wrong_v no_o common_a wealth_n can_v stand_v it_o be_v true_a we_o may_v use_v all_o lawful_a mean_n to_o eschew_v wrong_a and_o magistrate_n may_v plead_v in_o parliament_n with_o their_o prince_n for_o they_o have_v also_o their_o authority_n from_o god_n we_o ought_v to_o use_v all_o lawful_a mean_n to_o escape_v wrong_a but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o possibility_n of_o escape_v we_o must_v rather_o suffer_v they_o to_o wrong_v we_o for_o power_n and_o authority_n be_v to_o be_v reverence_v as_o be_v of_o god_n and_o indeed_o god_n do_v sometime_o in_o justice_n give_v bad_a ruler_n to_o avenge_v himself_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o people_n he_o give_v to_o israel_n a_o king_n in_o his_o wrath_n and_o he_o stir_v up_o a_o wicked_a king_n in_o israel_n to_o avenge_v himself_o upon_o the_o people_n for_o their_o idolatry_n do_v you_o not_o think_v but_o that_o the_o devil_n be_v god_n instrument_n against_o the_o wicked_a so_o be_v every_o wiked_a king_n th●_n lord_n scourge_v the_o rod_n of_o his_o justice_n to_o inflict_v upon_o his_o enemy_n when_o as_o good_a ruler_n be_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n upon_o a_o people_n that_o be_v careful_a to_o please_v he_o the_o lord_n will_v make_v they_o nurse_v father_n and_o mother_n unto_o his_o church_n and_o so_o god_n in_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n make_v king_n and_o ruler_n to_o subject_n as_o he_o see_v cause_n either_o to_o plague_v they_o or_o to_o preserve_v they_o this_o be_v the_o secret_a of_o god_n providence_n thus_o to_o order_v the_o world_n according_a as_o he_o see_v they_o carry_v themselves_o towards_o he_o we_o see_v that_o so_o long_o as_o israel_n do_v not_o know_v god_n so_o long_a god_n give_v they_o into_o their_o enemy_n hand_n and_o they_o have_v tyrant_n to_o rule_v over_o they_o but_o when_o they_o seek_v the_o lord_n as_o they_o shall_v and_o ought_v the_o lord_n give_v they_o gracious_a judge_n to_o deliver_v they_o out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o enemy_n and_o assoon_o as_o they_o fall_v from_o

the_o apostle_n so_o well_o approve_v be_v this_o to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o easy_a matter_n to_o perform_v this_o charge_n but_o that_o all_o the_o grace_n that_o be_v in_o timothy_n be_v little_a enough_o to_o enable_v he_o with_o constancy_n and_o courage_n to_o keep_v it_o inviolable_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v this_o because_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o this_o world_n which_o satan_n more_o oppose_v nor_o that_o man_n set_v themselves_o against_o neither_o any_o thing_n so_o contrary_a to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n as_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n worship_n and_o the_o sincerity_n of_o preach_v it_o the_o devil_n labour_v to_o corrupt_v the_o purity_n of_o doctrine_n and_o the_o service_n of_o god_n in_o his_o church_n above_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n now_o see_v it_o be_v so_o much_o oppose_v by_o satan_n and_o the_o world_n who_o labour_n to_o deprive_v we_o of_o salvation_n that_o we_o may_v perish_v with_o they_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n know_v how_o the_o world_n and_o satan_n will_v oppose_v it_o he_o see_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o revelation_n the_o great_a temptation_n his_o servant_n must_v undergo_v that_o will_v keep_v god_n worship_n pure_a therefore_o he_o give_v this_o strait_a charge_n unto_o his_o church_n that_o they_o shall_v lay_v before_o their_o eye_n god_n and_o christ_n continual_o for_o otherwise_o the_o terror_n of_o man_n and_o the_o world_n will_v shake_v they_o and_o cause_v they_o to_o corrupt_v the_o way_n of_o god_n otherways_o man_n stand_v always_o in_o danger_n of_o be_v overcome_v either_o by_o enticement_n of_o riches_n or_o by_o the_o terror_n of_o persecution_n and_o of_o imprisonment_n therefore_o the_o spirit_n give_v we_o this_o straight_o charge_n to_o bind_v we_o more_o strong_o to_o this_o doctrine_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v the_o reason_n which_o move_v the_o apostle_n to_o set_v down_o this_o weighty_a charge_n unto_o his_o church_n now_o let_v we_o come_v and_o consider_v this_o more_o particular_o first_o he_o charge_v he_o before_o god_n and_o second_o before_o jesus_n christ_n the_o lord_n the_o general_a consideration_n of_o the_o manner_n of_o this_o charge_n serve_v for_o to_o let_v we_o see_v there_o be_v nothing_o can_v stay_v the_o miserable_a heart_n of_o man_n in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n except_o the_o consideration_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n take_v these_o two_o out_o of_o his_o sight_n and_o he_o be_v in_o darkness_n for_o if_o his_o heart_n be_v not_o set_v to_o see_v god_n and_o christ_n he_o will_v soon_o turn_v from_o the_o truth_n to_o vanity_n the_o very_a sight_n of_o man_n will_v make_v we_o to_o stoop_v and_o change_v our_o mind_n if_o god_n be_v out_o of_o our_o sight_n this_o make_v moses_n so_o courageous_a before_o pharaoh_n the_o apostle_n say_v of_o himself_o to_o the_o corinth_n that_o he_o be_v not_o as_o other_o teacher_n who_o adulterate_v the_o word_n of_o god_n he_o give_v this_o to_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o he_o be_v not_o such_o a_o one_o because_o he_o speak_v as_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o this_o keep_v he_o that_o he_o can_v not_o adulterate_a the_o word_n of_o god_n it_o be_v his_o sight_n only_o that_o stay_v we_o and_o keep_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o that_o keep_v our_o heart_n upright_o in_o the_o work_n of_o god_n see_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o 11._o speak_v of_o moses_n it_o be_v say_v that_o moses_n by_o faith_n forsake_v egypt_n and_o despise_v the_o wrath_n of_o the_o king_n by_o see_v he_o which_o be_v invisible_a he_o have_v such_o a_o sight_n of_o god_n which_o stay_v his_o heart_n that_o no_o threaten_n of_o pharaoh_n can_v make_v he_o to_o alter_v his_o mind_n and_o that_o we_o may_v see_v this_o lesson_n belong_v general_o unto_o we_o yea_o every_o christian_a as_o well_o as_o unto_o every_o pastor_n it_o do_v appear_v in_o the_o hebrew_n where_o it_o be_v say_v 12._o we_o be_v compass_v about_o with_o a_o cloud_n of_o witness_n let_v we_o cast_v off_o every_o thing_n that_o press_v down_o and_o the_o sin_n which_o hang_v so_o fast_o on_o fix_v our_o eye_n upon_o jesus_n the_o author_n &_o fimisher_n of_o our_o faith_n who_o for_o the_o glory_n that_o be_v set_v before_o he_o despise_v the_o shame_n or_o cross_v if_o our_o eye_n be_v fix_v upon_o jesus_n the_o author_n and_o finisher_n of_o our_o faith_n we_o shall_v go_v thtough_a honour_n and_o dishonour_n so_o as_o nothing_o can_v hinder_v we_o till_o we_o have_v attain_v unto_o the_o price_n of_o our_o call_n god_n have_v in_o jesus_n christ_n choose_v we_o unto_o himself_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o necessary_a it_o be_v to_o have_v god_n continual_o in_o our_o sight_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o make_v david_n rejoice_v that_o god_n be_v with_o he_o at_o his_o right_a hand_n to_o uphold_v he_o which_o make_v he_o not_o to_o be_v afraid_a of_o death_n and_o to_o the_o same_o end_n the_o apostle_n say_v 8._o if_o god_n be_v on_o our_o side_n who_o can_v be_v against_o we_o this_o general_a sight_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n be_v the_o only_a thing_n which_o will_v stay_v a_o miserable_a conscience_n and_o unconstant_a heart_n against_o the_o fear_n of_o man_n we_o see_v joseph_n be_v stay_v by_o this_o not_o to_o yield_v to_o his_o wicked_a mistress_n where_o he_o say_v how_o shall_v i_o do_v this_o great_a wickedness_n and_o sin_n against_o god_n we_o have_v need_v to_o set_v god_n and_o christ_n before_o we_o and_o that_o will_v keep_v we_o from_o fall_v into_o evil_n against_o god_n or_o against_o our_o neighbour_n and_o it_o will_v establish_v our_o heart_n in_o goodness_n again_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v why_o the_o apostle_n join_v god_n and_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n sufficient_a to_o stay_v our_o heart_n now_o here_o may_v be_v 2_o reason_n give_v for_o it_o in_o give_v this_o charge_n to_o join_v god_n and_o christ_n togeaher_n first_o because_o there_o be_v no_o fruit_n to_o we_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n alone_o except_o the_o sight_n we_o have_v of_o god_n we_o have_v it_o in_o and_o through_o christ_n that_o except_o we_o know_v god_n in_o christ_n our_o saviour_n the_o sight_n of_o god_n will_v never_o allure_v thou_o unto_o obedience_n for_o there_o be_v no_o sight_n of_o god_n that_o will_v establish_v thy_o heart_n in_o obedience_n except_o thou_o see_v god_n as_o the_o father_n of_o christ_n that_o give_v his_o son_n unto_o the_o death_n for_o our_o transgression_n and_o this_o sight_n make_v we_o to_o love_n god_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n and_o to_o prefer_v this_o god_n before_o all_o the_o world_n which_o cause_v we_o we_o dare_v do_v nothing_o that_o shall_v offend_v he_o for_o to_o please_v man_n second_o the_o distinct_a consideration_n of_o these_o two_o be_v of_o great_a force_n to_o further_o and_o provoke_v man_n heart_n unto_o obedience_n first_o in_o consideration_n of_o god_n who_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o all_o the_o world_n before_o who_o face_n all_o the_o world_n shall_v appear_v to_o receive_v according_a as_o they_o have_v do_v in_o their_o body_n whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o evil_n 3._o the_o consideration_n 2of_n god_n as_o my_o judge_n as_o the_o apostle_n call_v he_o and_o abraham_n call_v he_o so_o likewise_o this_o be_v a_o great_a stay_n to_o restrain_v man_n from_o sin_n when_o i_o do_v know_v that_o he_o who_o be_v my_o judge_n be_v before_o i_o and_o he_o see_v i_o and_o he_o do_v observe_v all_o my_o way_n and_o this_o if_o i_o do_v mind_n be_v of_o mighty_a force_n to_o keep_v i_o from_o sin_v against_o he_o moreover_o if_o there_o be_v any_o safety_n from_o god_n judgement_n it_o be_v by_o the_o mediation_n of_o christ_n alone_o now_o see_v that_o god_n and_o christ_n be_v perpetual_o join_v together_o in_o judgement_n so_o that_o what_o the_o one_o approve_v the_o other_o approve_v therefore_o i_o must_v see_v god_n as_o my_o judge_n and_o christ_n as_o my_o mediator_n as_o a_o mean_n to_o keep_v i_o from_o sin_n and_o for_o both_o these_o reason_n it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n join_v they_o together_o god_n and_o christ_n in_o this_o his_o charge_n to_o let_v we_o see_v we_o have_v god_n and_o christ_n for_o our_o enemy_n to_o convince_v we_o and_o to_o condemn_v we_o in_o that_o great_a day_n see_v in_o both_o their_o name_n we_o be_v charge_v to_o keep_v this_o commandment_n without_o spot_n and_o thus_o we_o be_v teach_v the_o reason_n wherefore_o he_o join_v god_n and_o christ_n together_o in_o this_o great_a charge_n now_o we_o be_v to_o come_v to_o the_o particular_a consideration_n of_o this_o charge_n first_o he_o laieh_o god_n before_o we_o to_o be_v consider_v in_o this_o particular_a that_o he_o quick_o n_v
