that_o christ_n ordain_v a_o government_n and_o that_o potestas_fw-la et_fw-la ordo_fw-la power_n and_o order_n be_v essential_a in_o that_o government_n ●o_z divine_v do_v deny_v but_o the_o modus_fw-la et_fw-la titulus_fw-la in_o this_o government_n be_v that_o which_o as_o yet_o lie_v disputable_a some_o say_v this_o government_n ought_v to_o be_v aristocratical_a of_o this_o opinion_n be_v that_o holy_a and_o learned_a calvin_n which_o i_o wonder_v at_o his_o ground_n for_o it_o be_v because_o he_o think_v the_o ancient_a government_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v aristocratical_a but_o the_o sandy_a foundation_n of_o this_o opinion_n show_v we_o the_o weakness_n of_o this_o argument_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o clear_a then_o that_o israel_n government_n from_o their_o deliverance_n out_o of_o egypt_n to_o their_o captivity_n in_o babylon_n be_v monarchical_a if_o supaemacy_n in_o one_o be_v monarchy_n so_o that_o out_o of_o the_o reins_n of_o calvin_n argument_n will_v arise_v a_o firm_a argument_n thus_o if_o the_o example_n of_o gavel-government_n under_o the_o gospel_n must_v be_v according_a to_o that_o under_o the_o law_n for_o there_o the_o force_n of_o calvin_n argument_n lie_v than_o monarchy_n be_v the_o government_n that_o must_v be_v erect_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o we_o pass_v this_o hierom_n be_v of_o opinion_n which_o he_o ground_v on_o dan._n 7.18_o that_o when_o the_o great_a day_n of_o gospel-reformation_n shall_v come_v i_o e._n when_o the_o roman_a monarchy_n be_v destroy_v than_o say_v he_o all_o kingdom_n shall_v be_v throw_v down_o and_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o government_n at_o all_o only_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o saint_n but_o this_o opinion_n as_o it_o be_v much_o build_v upon_o these_o time_n so_o it_o be_v build_v on_o a_o sandy_a foundation_n upon_o a_o mistake_n in_o the_o interpretation_n of_o dan._n 7._o 18._o and_o it_o be_v absolute_o contradictory_a to_o these_o prophetic_a promise_n of_o unite_n the_o two_o tribe_n and_o the_o ten_o tribe_n under_o one_o king_n or_o government_n i_o e._n make_v they_o as_o at_o first_o one_o kingdom_n under_o one_o king_n and_o against_o those_o text_n which_o promise_v to_o the_o jew_n that_o in_o the_o gospel-day_n among_o the_o gentile-gospeller_n he_o will_v raise_v up_o king_n to_o be_v their_o nurse_a father_n and_o queen_n to_o be_v their_o nurse_a mother_n and_o many_o other_o text_n therefore_o we_o pass_v this_o also_o the_o noble_a and_o most_o learned_a hebrew_n for_o the_o most_o part_n conclude_v that_o god_n will_v call_v they_o again_o and_o make_v they_o a_o famous_a monarchy_n so_o that_o the_o worst_a of_o they_o hold_v that_o monarchy_n shall_v continue_v until_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n indeed_o levy_v ben_n gerson_n a_o hebrew_n upon_o the_o first_o of_o sam._n 8._o plead_v for_o aristocracy_n and_o to_o advance_v it_o he_o like_o the_o serpent_n bite_v kingly-government_n by_o the_o heel_n like_v as_o the_o prelate_n on_o the_o one_o hand_n and_o the_o independent_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n plead_v against_o presbytery_n so_o do_v he_o against_o monarchy_n for_o he_o pick_v up_o the_o excrement_n of_o the_o king_n of_o judah_n and_o israel_n and_o from_o their_o illsavour_a infirmity_n conclude_v therefore_o their_o government_n be_v such_o as_o their_o infirmity_n be_v which_o be_v such_o a_o childish_a weak_a way_n of_o argue_v that_o it_o deserve_v no_o answer_n as_o if_o because_o the_o priest_n be_v nought_o therefore_o their_o office_n must_v be_v nought_o or_o because_o a_o sacrifice_n be_v lame_a therefore_o the_o temple_n be_v nought_o or_o as_o if_o because_o the_o image_n on_o the_o gold_n be_v deface_v therefore_o the_o gold_n be_v nought_o this_o be_v peevish-childishness_n therefore_o we_o pass_v that_o also_o and_o come_v to_o the_o question_n whether_o christ_n ordain_v monarchy_n to_o be_v in_o the_o gospel_n church_n to_o that_o we_o answer_v negative_o as_o to_o the_o title_n 1._o no_o king_n on_o earth_n since_o christ_n incarnation_n to_o this_o day_n can_v show_v a_o extraordinary_a or_o immediate_a call_n from_o god_n to_o be_v king_n as_o david_n can_v and_o solomon_n can_v for_o he_o be_v choose_v king_n by_o god_n before_o he_o be_v bear_v 2._o there_o be_v no_o king_n since_o christ_n that_o can_v say_v he_o have_v a_o natural_a right_n to_o his_o kingdom_n succession_n that_o end_v in_o christ_n who_o have_v a_o true_a title_n by_o natural_a succession_n to_o be_v monarch_n of_o the_o world_n as_o descend_v from_o adam_n luk._n 3._o and_o a_o natural_a right_n to_o the_o monarchy_n of_o the_o jew_n as_o descend_v of_o abraham_n matth._n 1._o so_o that_o christ_n only_o be_v natural_o according_a to_o the_o flesh_n by_o succession_n the_o king_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o gentile_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n be_v rom._n 5._o 14._o to_o be_v understand_v where_o adam_n be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o type_n of_o he_o to_o come_v that_o be_v as_o he_o be_v monarch_n of_o the_o world_n by_o divine_a institution_n and_o natural_a right_n so_o that_o he_o that_o claim_v since_o christ_n incarnation_n by_o a_o natural_a right_n the_o monarchy_n of_o the_o world_n or_o kingdom_n of_o the_o jew_n usurp_v the_o office_n of_o christ_n for_o christ_n only_o be_v monarch_n of_o the_o world_n by_o a_o natural_a descent_n and_o in_o this_o respect_n he_o be_v both_o king_n and_o priest_n after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedeck_n for_o melchisedeck_n be_v without_o beginning_n of_o day_n or_o end_n of_o time_n in_o respect_n both_o of_o his_o priestly_a and_o kingly_a office_n without_o beginning_n of_o day_n that_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o his_o pedigree_n for_o he_o be_v both_o king_n and_o priest_n by_o natural_a succession_n from_o seth_n the_o son_n of_o adam_n which_o be_v time_n out_o of_o mind_n for_o none_o at_o that_o time_n be_v able_a to_o tell_v the_o antiquity_n of_o his_o descent_n who_o by_o birth_n be_v both_o monarch_n and_o priest_n and_o than_o this_o melchisedeck_n be_v without_o end_n of_o time_n for_o neither_o the_o kingly_a office_n nor_o the_o priestly_a office_n be_v extinct_a in_o the_o church_n until_o christ_n come_v in_o who_o meet_v both_o the_o kingly_a the_o priestly_a and_o the_o prophetic_a office_n this_o christ_n be_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n the_o natural_a son_n of_o melchisedeck_n who_o have_v carry_v up_o to_o heaven_n with_o he_o his_o human_a nature_n sit_v a_o king_n a_o priest_n and_o a_o prophet_n in_o that_o nature_n in_o heaven_n for_o ever_o on_o his_o church_n behalf_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n melchisedecks_n office_n be_v without_o end_n of_o time_n for_o our_o king_n and_o our_o priest_n be_v ascend_v up_o into_o heaven_n where_o he_o make_v continual_a intercession_n for_o we_o so_o that_o since_o he_o there_o be_v no_o succession_n of_o monarch_n by_o lineal_a descent_n but_o magistracy_n be_v not_o make_v null_a under_o the_o gospel_n because_o it_o cease_v in_o respect_n of_o a_o natural_a title_n by_o succession_n for_o god_n have_v ordain_v by_o his_o approve_v providence_n other_o way_n of_o erect_v monarch_n then_o by_o succession_n or_o immediate_a call_n as_o david_n be_v monarch_n over_o the_o country_n round_o about_o he_o not_o by_o succession_n nor_o by_o a_o immediate_a call_n from_o god_n but_o by_o conquest_n so_o that_o the_o great_a office_n of_o monarchy_n may_v lawful_o come_v in_o at_o other_o door_n though_o the_o door_n of_o succession_n and_o immediate_a call_n from_o god_n be_v shut_v but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o question_n that_o christ_n have_v not_o abolish_v monarchy_n under_o the_o gospel_n nothing_o be_v more_o clear_a for_o government_n be_v a_o

come_v not_o to_o make_v void_a but_o establish_v we_o may_v true_o argue_v therefore_o for_o monarchy_n under_o the_o gospel_n by_o a_o argument_n take_v à_fw-la fortiori_fw-la for_o if_o under_o the_o law_n god_n give_v to_o his_o church_n monarchical_a government_n much_o more_o do_v that_o great_a blessing_n belong_v to_o the_o gospel_n church_n paul_n exhort_v that_o prayer_n especial_o
