for_o naught_o therefore_o if_o man_n do_v evil_a they_o shall_v fear_v but_o if_o they_o do_v well_o than_o not_o fear_n the_o magistrate_n must_v not_o be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o a_o good_a man_n

magistrate_n be_v superior_a to_o those_o that_o be_v judge_n yet_o he_o be_v inferior_a to_o god_n as_o solomon_n say_v in_o ecclesiasty_n if_o thou_o see_v oppression_n in_o the_o city_n there_o be_v a_o high_a than_o they_o and_o therefore_o a_o magistrate_n must_v say_v as_o the_o centurion_n say_v to_o our_o saviour_n christ_n i_o be_o a_o man_n set_v under_o the_o authority_n of_o another_o herode_fw-la be_v above_o he_o and_o caesar_n be_v above_o herode_fw-la and_o god_n be_v above_o all_o for_o though_o magistrate_n be_v call_v power_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o in_o respect_n of_o any_o strength_n that_o be_v in_o themselves_o but_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o many_o assistant_n that_o they_o have_v to_o take_v their_o part_n but_o yet_o they_o be_v weak_a in_o comparison_n of_o god_n indeed_o they_o be_v call_v god_n but_o it_o be_v in_o the_o respect_n of_o the_o authority_n 82_o psalm_n 82_o that_o they_o execute_v in_o god_n stead_n &_o that_o they_o may_v so_o judge_v as_o god_n will_v do_v if_o he_o do_v give_v the_o sentence_n but_o they_o shall_v die_v like_o man_n alexander_n think_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o juâ—iter_n yet_o he_o be_v the_o

diogenes_n he_o be_v a_o god_n of_o the_o earth_n yet_o as_o diogenes_n answer_v he_o true_o and_o witty_o he_o be_v but_o a_o god_n of_o earth_n the_o magistrate_n be_v high_o to_o be_v esteem_v of_o

move_v the_o magistrate_n to_o execute_v right_a judgement_n be_v that_o god_n sit_v in_o 82_o psalm_n 82_o their_o assembly_n and_o behold_v what_o be_v do_v and_o how_o every_o thing_n be_v do_v

they_o give_v right_a judgement_n he_o will_v approve_v it_o
