A85884 The divine right and original of the civill magistrate from God, (as it is drawn by the Apostle S. Paul in those words, Rom. 13.1. There is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God) illustrated and vindicated in a treatise (chiefly) upon that text. Wherein the procedure of political dominion from God, by his ordination; ... is endevored truly and plainly to be laid open. / Written for the service of that eminent truth, order, justice, and peace which the said text, in its genuine sense, holdeth forth, and supporteth: and for the dissolving of sundry important doubts, and mistakes about it. By Edward Gee minister of the Gospel at Eccleston in the county palatine of Lancaster. Gee, Edward, 1613-1660. 1658 (1658) Wing G448; Thomason E1774_1; ESTC R202104 279,674 430

of_o father_n and_o confine_v commonwealth_n to_o extend_v no_o further_o then_o to_o comprise_v a_o father_n and_o his_o child_n which_o as_o be_v argue_v before_o be_v neither_o agreeable_a to_o
