the_o unlimited_a prerogative_n of_o king_n subvert_v or_o a_o short_a treatise_n ground_v upon_o scripture_n and_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o king_n ought_v as_o well_o as_o other_o to_o be_v accountable_a for_o their_o action_n matthew_n 22.21_o render_v unto_o caesar_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v caesar_n and_o unto_o god_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v go_n by_o a_o well_o wisher_n to_o the_o church_n of_o god_n his_o king_n and_o country_n and_o dedicate_v to_o all_o such_o as_o love_v the_o truth_n there_o will_v be_v time_n say_v the_o apostle_n wherein_o man_n will_v not_o endure_v sound_a doctrine_n 2_o tim._n 1.3_o but_o will_v give_v heed_n to_o seduce_v spirit_n and_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n 1_o tim._n 4.1_o and_o certain_o if_o ever_o these_o time_n shall_v come_v to_o be_v

they_o do_v maintain_v and_o which_o be_v worst_a of_o all_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o father_n their_o lie_n even_o upon_o the_o very_a scripture_n of_o truth_n themselves_o wrest_v the_o same_o as_o s._n peter_n say_v 2_o pet._n 3.16_o through_o their_o willing_o wilful_a ignorance_n to_o their_o own_o destruction_n among_o which_o this_o be_v none_o of_o the_o least_o which_o they_o say_v that_o king_n be_v not_o responsal_n to_o any_o save_v god_n for_o their_o action_n and_o for_o this_o they_o bring_v the_o say_n of_o the_o preacher_n eccles_n 8.4_o where_o he_o say_v thus_o where_o the_o word_n of_o a_o king_n be_v there_o be_v power_n and_o who_o may_v say_v unto_o he_o what_o do_v thou_o which_o word_n if_o they_o be_v thorough_o scan_v and_o examine_v you_o shall_v find_v they_o yield_v no_o such_o construction_n but_o rather_o the_o contrary_n for_o in_o the_o 2d_o verse_n before_o go_v the_o wise_a man_n give_v we_o this_o charge_n to_o keep_v the_o king_n commandment_n i_o suppose_v if_o they_o understand_v themselves_o they_o will_v not_o say_v that_o by_o virtue_n thereof_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v whatsoever_o the_o king_n enjoin_v we_o whether_o it_o be_v right_a or_o wrong_n but_o that_o it_o have_v respect_n to_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v either_o agreeable_a or_o at_o least_o not_o contrary_a to_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n and_o the_o reason_n thereof_o be_v give_v in_o the_o word_n follow_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o oath_n of_o god_n now_o there_o be_v none_o i_o think_v will_v say_v if_o king_n come_v lawful_o in_o with_o the_o choice_n and_o consent_n of_o their_o people_n as_o all_o lawful_a king_n do_v that_o his_o oath_n have_v only_a respect_n unto_o the_o people_n as_o if_o it_o do_v bind_v only_o on_o their_o part_n but_o also_o on_o the_o part_n of_o the_o king_n who_o swear_v to_o rule_v and_o govern_v they_o according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o land_n and_o upon_o this_o condition_n they_o swear_v obedience_n unto_o he_o this_o we_o may_v see_v sufficient_o prove_v by_o the_o covenant_n of_o david_n make_v with_o his_o people_n 1_o chron._n 11.1_o where_o it_o be_v say_v all_o the_o elder_n of_o israel_n come_v to_o the_o king_n to_o hebron_n and_o david_n make_v a_o covenant_n with_o they_o in_o hebron_n before_o the_o lord_n and_o then_o it_o follow_v they_o anoint_v he_o king_n over_o israel_n and_o then_o again_o we_o see_v this_o prove_v by_o the_o mutual_a oath_n between_o joash_n and_o his_o people_n 2_o chron._n 23.11_o where_o it_o be_v say_v they_o bring_v out_o the_o king_n son_n and_o put_v upon_o he_o the_o crown_n and_o give_v he_o the_o testimony_n that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o make_v he_o enter_v into_o this_o covenant_n to_o keep_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o to_o govern_v they_o according_a thereunto_o and_o then_o it_o follow_v they_o make_v he_o king_n and_o jehojada_n and_o his_o son_n anoint_v he_o and_o say_v god_n save_o the_o king_n and_o so_o again_o in_o the_o 16._o v._o of_o the_o same_o chapter_n by_o this_o you_o see_v here_o be_v a_o oath_n aswell_o on_o the_o king_n part_n as_o on_o the_o people_n and_o thus_o the_o people_n be_v bind_v to_o keep_v the_o king_n commandment_n when_o he_o walk_v according_a to_o this_o rule_n and_o such_o be_v the_o oath_n of_o the_o king_n of_o england_n when_o they_o come_v to_o their_o crown_n and_o kingdom_n then_o he_o say_v further_a in_o the_o 3d_o verse_n be_v not_o hasty_a to_o g●e_v out_o of_o his_o sight_n stand_v not_o in_o a_o evil_a thing_n for_o he_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o please_v i_o hope_v there_o be_v none_o that_o dare_v be_v so_o sacrilegious_o bold_a as_o from_o these_o word_n to_o attribute_v unto_o king_n a_o almighty_a power_n as_o the_o word_n seem_v to_o import_v which_o be_v a_o attribute_n only_o proper_a unto_o god_n to_o be_v almighty_a as_o the_o psalmist_n show_v psal_n 115.3_o our_o god_n be_v in_o the_o heaven_n he_o have_v do_v whatsoever_o he_o please_v and_o psal_n 135.6_o whatsoever_o the_o lord_n please_v that_o do_v he_o in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n etc._n etc._n this_o be_v in_o a_o high_a measure_n to_o rob_v god_n of_o his_o glory_n and_o to_o give_v that_o to_o the_o creature_n that_o be_v only_o due_a to_o the_o creator_n yet_o i_o know_v no_o reason_n why_o they_o may_v not_o say_v from_o these_o word_n the_o king_n do_v whatsoever_o he_o please_v that_o king_n have_v a_o almighty_a power_n as_o well_o as_o to_o say_v from_o the_o other_o word_n who_o may_v say_v unto_o he_o what_o do_v thou_o that_o therefore_o king_n be_v accountable_a to_o none_o save_o god_n for_o their_o action_n for_o you_o see_v how_o the_o word_n follow_v one_o another_o and_o what_o may_v be_v say_v of_o king_n in_o one_o respect_n may_v be_v say_v of_o they_o in_o the_o other_o but_o we_o may_v if_o we_o will_v at_o least_o take_v notice_n that_o these_o word_n be_v bring_v in_o as_o have_v relation_n to_o good_a or_o evil_a and_o that_o this_o be_v a_o phrase_n apply_v unto_o king_n only_o to_o show_v that_o their_o power_n be_v great_a and_o of_o a_o large_a extent_n for_o the_o good_a of_o those_o that_o do_v well_o and_o for_o the_o punishment_n of_o those_o that_o do_v evil_a and_o that_o in_o respect_n thereof_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o awful_a and_o reverential_a regard_n of_o they_o for_o so_o the_o word_n run_v stand_v not_o in_o a_o evil_a thing_n for_o he_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o please_v then_o for_o the_o word_n follow_v which_o be_v quote_v by_o those_o that_o stand_v for_o the_o unlimited_a prerogative_n they_o have_v respect_n also_o to_o the_o same_o and_o so_o it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o where_o the_o word_n of_o a_o king_n be_v there_o be_v power_n if_o speak_v as_o a_o king_n shall_v perform_v the_o office_n of_o a_o king_n have_v respect_n to_o his_o oath_n and_o covenant_n between_o god_n and_o his_o people_n in_o command_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a and_o punish_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v evil_a then_o indeed_o who_o may_v say_v unto_o he_o what_o do_v thou_o no_o man_n may_v call_v he_o to_o question_n for_o asmuch_o as_o god_n the_o king_n of_o king_n have_v put_v this_o power_n into_o his_o hand_n and_o what_o be_v that_o indeed_o that_o make_v king_n many_o time_n so_o slight_v and_o so_o little_o fear_v of_o their_o people_n but_o this_o that_o they_o take_v no_o care_n at_o all_o to_o govern_v they_o according_a to_o their_o law_n and_o what_o be_v it_o on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o add_v majesty_n and_o magnificence_n unto_o they_o but_o this_o that_o they_o make_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o land_n the_o rule_n of_o magistracy_n and_o government_n herein_o consist_v the_o power_n of_o king_n which_o the_o wise_a m●n_z here_o so_o much_o speak_v of_o but_o now_o that_o this_o place_n be_v not_o so_o to_o be_v understand_v as_o the_o royalist_n of_o our_o time_n for_o their_o own_o end_n will_v have_v it_o that_o king_n be_v n●t_o accountable_a unto_o man_n for_o their_o action_n may_v easy_o appear_v by_o compare_v this_o place_n with_o that_o in_o dan._n 4_o 35._o where_o nebucadnezzar_n after_o that_o he_o be_v restore_v again_o to_o his_o sense_n and_o to_o his_o kingdom_n make_v this_o acknowledgement_n concern_v the_o power_n of_o god_n who_o may_v say_v unto_o he_o what_o do_v
