beastly_a bloody_a tyrant_n the_o magistrate_n and_o minister_n of_o god_n constitute_v and_o ordain_v and_o invest_v by_o god_n with_o all_o supreme_a authority_n in_o civil_a affair_n to_o rule_v

for_o conscience_n sake_n this_o i_o humble_o judge_n be_v write_v print_a preach_v and_o profess_v etc._n etc._n it_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o law_n and_o prophet_n which_o speak_v most_o of_o political_a government_n be_v yet_o silent_a in_o this_o point_n neither_o record_v the_o time_n when_o the_o manner_n how_o or_o the_o word_n of_o god_n commission_n and_o their_o investment_n into_o such_o absolute_a sovereign_a authority_n over_o his_o people_n nor_o be_v there_o as_o i_o know_v or_o can_v be_v produce_v any_o one_o text_n from_o the_o old_a

the_o 4_o empire_n be_v first_o foreshowed_n by_o the_o prophet_n daniel_n in_o these_o word_n after_o this_o i_o see_v in_o the_o night-vision_n and_o behold_v a_o four_o beast_n dreadful_a and_o

can_v be_v prove_v the_o rise_n and_o original_a also_o of_o antichrist_n or_o the_o antichristian_a state_n i_o take_v to_o be_v dark_o represent_v by_o daniel_n in_o the_o little_a 27._o ●a●_n 7._o 8._o vers_fw-la 24_o 25_o 26_o 27._o horn_n that_o come_v up_o among_o the_o ten_o horn_n of_o the_o roman_a empire_n or_o roman_a beast_n and_o how_o that_o act_v also_o by_o god_n permission_n and_o
