shadow_n of_o mortality_n and_o false_a appearance_n of_o happiness_n which_o do_v now_o impose_v on_o our_o bewitched_a mind_n and_o seduce_v we_o into_o a_o thousand_o error_n and_o folly_n and_o thus_o again_o we_o see_v how_o conscience_n stifle_v the_o very_a first_o motion_n of_o disorder_n and_o teach_v we_o to_o be_v subject_a 4._o a_o four_o occasion_n of_o disorder_n be_v a_o busy_a

can_v stay_v at_o home_n and_o do_v their_o own_o business_n but_o must_v ramble_v abroad_o and_o insinuate_v themselves_o on_o all_o affair_n and_o company_n and_o be_v ever_o gape_v for_o some_o

can_v so_o settle_v order_n and_o authority_n as_o this_o which_o guard_v against_o the_o first_o appearance_n of_o cloud_n and_o storm_n but_o as_o conscience_n do_v meet_v the_o early_a beginning_n of_o disorder_n in_o their_o less_o discernible_a and_o more_o plausible_a colour_n so_o it_o tie_v a_o man_n to_o that_o severe_a conduct_n of_o himself_o that_o he_o can_v embark_v in_o design_n which_o must_v be_v manage_v with_o so_o much_o fraud_n and_o dissimulation_n as_o the_o contriver_n of_o wicked_a course_n must_v needs_o carry_v along_o with_o they_o in_o all_o their_o practice_n

perhaps_o call_v in_o to_o serve_v a_o turn_n and_o scripture_n wrest_v to_o a_o favourable_a construction_n all_o this_o base_a and_o foul_a deal_n will_v so_o wound_v a_o tender_a and_o sincere_a

course_n that_o must_v be_v carry_v on_o by_o so_o bad_a method_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o so_o candid_a as_o conscience_n and_o therefore_o s._n paul_n charge_v we_o not_o to_o lie_v one_o to_o another_o 9_o since_o we_o have_v put_v off_o the_o old_a man_n with_o his_o deed_n and_o have_v put_v on_o the_o new_a man_n for_o he_o that_o do_v all_o thing_n as_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n

subjection_n by_o resist_v all_o the_o first_o motion_n that_o lead_v to_o disorder_n or_o confusion_n 2._o nor_o do_v it_o only_o put_v out_o of_o the_o way_n those_o dangerous_a stumbling-block_n but_o it_o drive_v the_o sense_n of_o duty_n deep_a into_o our_o mind_n law_n and_o government_n can_v only_o watch_v over_o the_o action_n and_o word_n of_o subject_n but_o can_v neither_o discover_v nor_o over-rule_v their_o thought_n which_o a_o cautious_a man_n wrap_v up_o within_o himself_o can_v reserve_v to_o a_o fit_a opportunity_n but_o conscience_n insinuate_v the_o duty_n we_o owe_v the_o sovereign_a power_n upon_o our_o secret_a thought_n 20._o and_o religion_n oblige_v we_o not_o to_o curse_v the_o king_n in_o our_o thought_n and_o have_v make_v the_o duty_n we_o pay_v authority_n a_o part_n of_o its_o self_n and_o of_o these_o return_n of_o the_o holy_a fear_n and_o humble_a obedience_n we_o owe_v the_o great_a king_n of_o king_n but_o this_o must_v not_o be_v so_o far_o carry_v as_o if_o those_o who_o be_v vest_v with_o the_o sovereign_a power_n have_v authority_n to_o command_v we_o to_o embrace_v whatever_o religion_n they_o enjoin_v according_a to_o the_o pestiferous_a spawn_n of_o that_o infernal_a leviathan_n who_o by_o this_o assertion_n do_v at_o once_o destroy_v both_o religion_n and_o government_n for_o that_o base_a flatterer_n of_o prince_n pretend_v to_o offer_v they_o more_o than_o be_v due_a to_o they_o have_v strike_v at_o the_o root_n of_o their_o authority_n and_o at_o once_o rob_v they_o of_o all_o their_o right_n for_o we_o be_v either_o bind_v to_o obey_v the_o sovereign_n by_o some_o obligation_n the_o law_n of_o god_n bring_v on_o we_o or_o not_o if_o not_o than_o all_o the_o sacredness_n of_o authority_n be_v go_v and_o the_o prince_n have_v nothing_o but_o force_n to_o maintain_v his_o right_n and_o every_o usurper_n that_o master_n he_o shall_v have_v a_o better_a right_n by_o how_o much_o more_o power_n he_o have_v to_o strengthen_v his_o ambitious_a pretension_n but_o if_o we_o be_v bind_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n to_o obey_v the_o supreme_a power_n than_o these_o law_n have_v a_o prior_n title_n to_o our_o obedience_n and_o infer_v the_o duty_n of_o subject_n as_o a_o particular_a effect_n of_o their_o doctrine_n therefore_o these_o law_n have_v the_o first_o right_n to_o our_o obedience_n must_v oblige_v we_o nor_o can_v we_o be_v allow_v to_o pick_v out_o that_o one_o of_o obey_v the_o magistrate_n and_o leave_v the_o rest_n behind_o we_o for_o all_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v enact_v by_o the_o same_o authority_n must_v equal_o bind_v we_o and_o as_o no_o depute_a magistrate_n can_v void_a the_o law_n of_o the_o supreme_a power_n so_o neither_o can_v prince_n void_a the_o law_n of_o god_n without_o sop_v the_o foundation_n of_o their_o own_o authority_n but_o none_o of_o these_o magnifying_n of_o magistracy_n be_v necessary_a to_o make_v it_o great_a it_o be_v by_o god_n himself_o exalt_v to_o so_o culminate_v a_o height_n and_o the_o render_n to_o god_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v god_n do_v not_o prejudice_n caesar_n in_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v caesar_n but_o religion_n engage_v we_o to_o so_o full_a a_o obedience_n to_o the_o law_n that_o our_o violate_v they_o when_o they_o contradict_v no_o command_n of_o god_n make_v we_o guilty_a in_o his_o sight_n and_o though_o we_o disguise_v what_o we_o do_v with_o so_o much_o cunning_n that_o the_o secular_a power_n can_v fix_v no_o censure_n on_o we_o yet_o our_o conscience_n will_v accuse_v we_o before_o
