to_o enforce_v and_o put_v in_o execution_n the_o law_n of_o god_n this_o principle_n certain_o take_v from_o he_o part_v of_o his_o authority_n and_o right_n and_o it_o be_v very_o apt_a in_o its_o nature_n and_o tendency_n to_o rob_v he_o of_o the_o rest_n too_o it_o be_v common_o see_v iodge_v in_o a_o proud_a and_o disobedient_a spirit_n it_o make_v subject_n more_o ready_a to_o dispute_v than_o to_o obey_v it_o easy_o find_v pretence_n to_o refuse_v obedience_n and_o so_o encourage_v to_o refuse_v it_o whenever_o a_o man_n lust_n or_o humour_n or_o ill-placed_a interest_n incline_v he_o to_o do_v so_o it_o require_v the_o magistrate_n to_o make_v law_n not_o according_a to_o the_o light_n and_o wisdom_n and_o justice_n or_o goodness_n of_o his_o own_o conscience_n but_o will_v have_v they_o make_v according_a to_o the_o darkness_n and_o mistake_v the_o self-love_n the_o malice_n and_o perverseness_n of_o they_o it_o be_v eager_a and_o fierce_a for_o a_o great_a liberty_n of_o conscience_n to_o be_v allow_v itself_o but_o will_v allow_v none_o to_o the_o governor_n it_o be_v a_o very_a common_a effect_n of_o this_o principle_n in_o man_n that_o it_o withhold_v they_o from_o subjection_n and_o obedience_n to_o the_o magistrate_n in_o many_o thing_n which_o be_v command_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o evil_n produce_v evil_a and_o a_o error_n betray_v a_o man_n into_o a_o sin_n let_v we_o know_v that_o while_o we_o be_v mighty_o afraid_a of_o obey_v the_o magistrate_n too_o far_o we_o be_v very_o liable_a to_o be_v betray_v by_o the_o subtlety_n of_o the_o tempter_n and_o the_o deceitful_a wickedness_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n into_o the_o not_o obey_v so_o far_o as_o we_o ought_v under_o this_o head_n be_v include_v the_o obligation_n to_o pay_v ready_o and_o faithful_o the_o tax_n contribution_n and_o custom_n which_o be_v establish_v by_o law_n this_o our_o saviour_n enjoin_v when_o he_o say_v render_v to_o cesar_n the_o thing_n which_o be_v cesar_n '_o s_o and_o the_o apostle_n in_o like_a manner_n require_v that_o we_o pay_v tribute_n to_o who_o tribute_n be_v due_a custom_n to_o who_o custom_n as_o well_o as_o honour_n to_o who_o honour_n be_v due_a we_o must_v obey_v these_o law_n as_o well_o as_o any_o other_o and_o shall_v account_v these_o of_o singular_a and_o eminent_a importance_n because_o these_o provide_v the_o necessary_a support_v of_o the_o government_n and_o the_o sinew_n as_o it_o be_v of_o all_o administration_n and_o action_n for_o the_o public_a welfare_n 3._o the_o honour_n of_o the_o king_n require_v and_o include_v a_o candid_a and_o respectful_a censure_n of_o his_o government_n and_o administration_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o put_v as_o good_a a_o interpretation_n as_o the_o thing_n will_v bear_v upon_o the_o action_n of_o every_o neighbour_n justice_n require_v this_o because_o it_o be_v according_a to_o that_o great_a and_o excellent_a rule_n of_o equity_n that_o we_o do_v to_o other_o as_o we_o will_v they_o shall_v do_v unto_o we_o and_o true_a love_n or_o charity_n require_v it_o too_o which_o be_v always_o ready_a to_o think_v as_o well_o of_o every_o one_o as_o it_o can_v therefore_o the_o apostle_n give_v it_o this_o excellent_a character_n 1_o cor._n 13._o charity_n think_v no_o evil._n a_o true_a reverence_n for_o any_o person_n too_o will_v make_v we_o think_v respectfu_o of_o his_o action_n it_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o honour_v they_o as_o well_o as_o the_o person_n that_o do_v they_o and_o the_o honour_n of_o his_o action_n be_v to_o account_v they_o just_o and_o wise_a and_o good_n this_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o believe_v of_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o magistrate_n when_o there_o be_v not_o very_o evident_a appearance_n of_o the_o contrary_a this_o we_o ought_v to_o believe_v always_o when_o they_o be_v capable_a of_o such_o a_o interpretation_n we_o must_v neither_o hasty_o condemn_v his_o action_n nor_o groundless_o suspect_v his_o design_n these_o thing_n the_o scripture_n evident_o bind_v upon_o we_o by_o such_o direction_n as_o these_o curse_v not_o the_o king_n no_o not_o in_o thought_n

in_o his_o time_n that_o they_o do_v speak_v evil_a of_o dignity_n it_o be_v contrary_a to_o reverence_n and_o love_n to_o invent_v disparagement_n of_o the_o magistrate_n action_n to_o study_v to_o find_v fault_n in_o they_o and_o it_o be_v the_o same_o ill_a disposition_n full_a of_o malice_n and_o pride_n to_o be_v very_o ready_a to_o receive_v such_o imputation_n to_o seek_v and_o hunt_v after_o they_o and_o take_v pleasure_n to_o hear_v they_o and_o it_o be_v much_o more_o so_o to_o spread_v and_o publish_v dishonourable_a reflection_n to_o foment_n and_o cherish_v suspicion_n and_o jealousy_n in_o other_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o reverence_v the_o prince_n ourselves_o so_o we_o ought_v to_o promote_v the_o reverence_v of_o he_o by_o other_o the_o due_a honour_n and_o reverence_n of_o the_o prince_n require_v that_o we_o do_v acquiesce_v in_o his_o administration_n when_o we_o do_v not_o know_v the_o particular_a ground_n and_o reason_n of_o they_o it_o may_v be_v many_o time_n unfit_a that_o the_o people_n shall_v know_v all_o the_o reason_n of_o state_n upon_o which_o the_o governor_n act_n especial_o when_o it_o may_v be_v suppose_v there_o be_v some_o enemy_n of_o the_o government_n among_o the_o people_n and_o no_o man_n be_v capable_a to_o make_v a_o right_a judgement_n of_o a_o action_n when_o he_o do_v not_o know_v the_o reason_n and_o circumstance_n of_o it_o we_o must_v not_o present_o condemn_v those_o undertake_n of_o the_o prince_n as_o foolish_a or_o ill_o manage_v which_o do_v not_o succeed_v well_o success_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o he_o give_v it_o where_o and_o when_o he_o please_v and_o to_o teach_v man_n to_o acknowledge_v and_o depend_v upon_o his_o providence_n he_o sometime_o give_v it_o to_o weak_a and_o foolish_a endeavour_n and_o design_n and_o sometime_o again_o he_o deny_v it_o to_o the_o best_a and_o wise_a it_o be_v often_o see_v as_o the_o wise_a man_n say_v that_o the_o race_n be_v not_o to_o the_o swift_a nor_o the_o battle_n to_o the_o strong_a nor_o bread_n to_o the_o wise_a nor_o favour_n to_o man_n of_o skill_n when_o the_o undertake_n of_o the_o governor_n for_o the_o public_a good_a have_v not_o their_o desire_a success_n it_o be_v more_o just_a and_o reasonable_a that_o the_o people_n blame_v themselves_o than_o that_o they_o shall_v blame_v or_o censure_v he_o they_o may_v just_o suspect_v their_o offence_n of_o almighty_a god_n do_v provoke_v he_o to_o give_v disappointment_n to_o wise_a and_o well_o manage_v design_n when_o these_o do_v not_o evident_o appear_v to_o be_v otherwise_o and_o i_o doubt_v not_o it_o may_v be_v say_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n may_v occasion_v the_o error_n of_o the_o prince_n when_o he_o do_v err_v to_o help_v themselves_o therefore_o in_o both_o case_n their_o best_a course_n be_v to_o abstain_v from_o murmur_v against_o the_o prince_n and_o humble_v themselves_o before_o god_n and_o to_o search_v out_o and_o forsake_v the_o evil_a of_o their_o do_n their_o irreverent_a and_o undutiful_a behaviour_n to_o the_o governor_n under_o such_o circumstance_n will_v but_o add_v sin_n to_o sin_n and_o be_v likely_a to_o pull_v down_o upon_o they_o more_o of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n further_o as_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o prince_n forbid_v that_o we_o despise_v or_o condemn_v he_o for_o ill_a success_n so_o it_o forbid_v we_o to_o envy_v or_o grow_v jealous_a of_o he_o for_o great_a and_o happy_a one_o true_a reverence_n and_o love_n wish_v his_o prosperity_n and_o delight_n in_o the_o increase_n of_o his_o
