he_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n therefore_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o reproach_n he_o or_o revile_v he_o but_o to_o speak_v all_o good_a of_o he_o he_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n therefore_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o hate_v he_o or_o despise_v he_o but_o to_o carry_v a_o reverend_a conceit_n and_o estimation_n of_o he_o 1._o now_o for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o you_o must_v understand_v that_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o obedience_n to_o humane_a law_n we_o do_v not_o mean_a obedience_n without_o exception_n but_o obedience_n under_o condition_n and_o limitation_n so_o long_o as_o the_o magistrate_n command_v nothing_o by_o his_o law_n that_o be_v prejudicial_a to_o our_o duty_n towards_o god_n so_o long_o we_o must_v obey_v but_o if_o he_o command_v we_o to_o do_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v unlawful_a in_o that_o case_n in_o stead_n of_o obedience_n we_o bring_v subjection_n we_o must_v not_o be_v obedient_a then_o but_o even_o then_o we_o must_v be_v subject_a in_o all_o other_o case_n in_o matter_n that_o be_v apparent_o good_a in_o civil_a office_n in_o affair_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n in_o matter_n of_o justice_n and_o in_o all_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v in_o their_o own_o nature_n indifferent_a and_o those_o be_v such_o as_o be_v neither_o command_v nor_o forbid_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o must_v not_o only_o be_v subject_a but_o obedient_a also_o give_v unto_o caesar_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v caesar_n say_v christ._n submit_v yourselves_o to_o all_o manner_n of_o ordinance_n say_v peter_n let_v every_o soul_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o high_a

that_o they_o be_v obedient_a to_o every_o good_a work_n so_o then_o we_o must_v be_v subject_a simple_o and_o without_o exception_n obedient_a only_o in_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a good_a for_o ourselves_o good_a for_o the_o church_n or_o good_a for_o the_o commonwealth_n wherein_o we_o live_v and_o we_o must_v not_o ourselves_o be_v judge_n what_o be_v good_a but_o submit_v our_o own_o judgement_n to_o the_o judgement_n of_o our_o governor_n except_o we_o find_v that_o the_o thing_n command_v be_v plain_o and_o direct_o forbid_v in_o the_o word_n in_o which_o case_n we_o
