of_o scripture_n and_o reason_n witness_v to_o by_o the_o suffrage_n of_o the_o most_o approve_a divine_n both_o ancient_a and_o modern_a and_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o godly_a according_o but_o

which_o of_o the_o godly_a in_o her_o time_n after_o her_o actual_a possession_n of_o the_o crown_n scruple_v obedience_n to_o she_o in_o civil_a thing_n although_o she_o be_v the_o issue_n of_o a_o

to_o shut_v up_o this_o position_n and_o with_o it_o the_o present_a discourse_n though_o practice_n may_v be_v question_v with_o the_o unquestionable_a authority_n of_o the_o apostle_n ro._n 13._o if_o every_o foul_a must_v be_v subject_a then_o certain_o every_o power_n must_v be_v subject_v to_o else_o some_o soul_n must_v not_o be_v subject_a because_o some_o power_n be_v not_o of_o right_a yea_o but_o though_o they_o have_v not_o a_o right_a to_o make_v themselves_o yet_o god_n have_v a_o right_a to_o make_v they_o power_n and_o we_o must_v be_v subject_a nor_o because_o of_o the_o subordinate_a and_o doubtful_a right_n of_o man_n but_o the_o supreme_a and_o undoubted_a right_n of_o god_n and_o so_o the_o premise_n be_v as_o large_a as_o the_o conclusion_n which_o otherwise_o will_v be_v too_o narrow_a for_o it_o again_o every_o soul_n must_v be_v subject_a yea_o but_o every_o soul_n can_v skill_v of_o the_o title_n of_o governor_n true_o but_o no_o soul_n so_o ignorant_a but_o can_v apprehend_v god_n title_n at_o least_o when_o the_o apostle_n shall_v have_v tell_v he_o that_o there_o be_v no_o power_n but_o of_o god_n and_o the_o power_n that_o be_v be_v ordain_v of_o god_n and_o 2._o no_o soul_n so_o in_o the_o dark_a but_o can_v on_o the_o one_o side_n see_v who_o have_v a_o power_n to_o give_v he_o praise_v for_o well_o do_v and_o to_o punish_v he_o for_o do_v ill_a and_o so_o bear_v not_o the_o sword_n in_o vain_a and_o on_o the_o other_o who_o either_o bear_v no_o sword_n or_o in_o vain_a an●●o_o no_o purpose_n and_o last_o who_o be_v continual_o attend_v on_o the_o work_n of_o government_n and_o who_o be_v discontinuer_n so_o that_o in_o conclusion_n the_o apostle_n give_v a_o rule_n of_o subjection_n clear_a and_o obvious_a and_o suit_v to_o the_o capacity_n of_o the_o mean_a christian_n whereas_o if_o to_o examine_v the_o right_n of_o governor_n be_v the_o rule_n most_o christian_n will_v want_v the_o mean_v full_o to_o inform_v
