himself_o as_o i_o may_v say_v with_o the_o power_n and_o majesty_n of_o god_n for_o we_o owe_v more_o respect_n to_o the_o king_n when_o he_o be_v in_o the_o seat_n of_o justice_n than_o in_o a_o thousand_o other_o circumstance_n and_o to_o the_o bishop_n in_o the_o actual_a administration_n of_o his_o episcopal_a function_n than_o at_o any_o other_o time_n and_o indeed_o we_o be_v natural_o incline_v to_o measure_v the_o respect_n due_a to_o grandeur_n and_o power_n by_o the_o sensible_a operation_n they_o have_v on_o we_o certain_o when_o we_o be_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o

manner_n when_o we_o approach_v superior_a who_o be_v his_o image_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o put_v on_o a_o outward_a air_n of_o respect_n and_o veneration_n but_o the_o mind_n must_v also_o humble_v itself_o and_o respect_v the_o greatness_n and_o power_n of_o god_n in_o the_o majesty_n of_o the_o prince_n iii_o there_o be_v no_o great_a difficulty_n in_o pay_v the_o duty_n of_o respect_n to_o the_o high_a power_n nay_o the_o brain_n be_v frame_v in_o such_o a_o manner_n that_o the_o imagination_n willing_o bow_v before_o the_o splendour_n that_o environ_n they_o wherefore_o i_o think_v it_o needless_a to_o say_v any_o more_o of_o these_o duty_n but_o a_o exact_a obedience_n to_o the_o command_n of_o our_o superior_n be_v a_o continual_a sacrifice_n much_o more_o difficult_a and_o burdensome_a than_o the_o slaughter_n of_o beast_n and_o therefore_o self-love_n be_v a_o irreconcilable_a enemy_n to_o it_o there_o be_v few_o people_n that_o discharge_v this_o duty_n like_o christian_n or_o in_o expectation_n that_o he_o who_o they_o honour_n in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o prince_n shall_v be_v their_o only_a reward_n every_o one_o in_o a_o manner_n

because_o they_o do_v not_o know_v the_o exact_a order_n and_o measure_n of_o their_o duty_n for_o opposite_a power_n have_v each_o their_o separate_a right_n their_o different_a interest_n be_v many_o time_n so_o intermingle_v that_o it_o be_v very_o difficult_a to_o know_v which_o of_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v obey_v and_o in_o these_o case_n every_o man_n follow_v his_o own_o particular_a

himself_o he_o may_v act_v without_o control_n and_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o his_o conduct_n to_o any_o man_n for_o he_o seem_v to_o have_v more_o relation_n to_o god_n as_o

they_o proceed_v from_o a_o corrupt_a heart_n where_o self-love_n have_v a_o absolute_a dominion_n xi_o a_o man_n can_v have_v no_o right_n to_o the_o true_a good_n if_o he_o be_v not_o just_a in_o

if_o he_o be_v not_o dispose_v not_o to_o love_v himself_o but_o according_a to_o order_n so_o that_o though_o we_o shall_v suppose_v a_o heathen_a to_o love_v order_n above_o all_o other_o thing_n with_o a_o actual_a love_n which_o can_v be_v do_v but_o by_o the_o motion_n of_o grace_n yet_o god_n who_o judge_n the_o soul_n not_o according_a to_o that_o which_o be_v transient_a in_o it_o but_o

be_v to_o be_v obtain_v by_o faith_n alone_o because_o god_n the_o just_a judge_n can_v not_o judge_v they_o but_o according_a to_o the_o permanent_a disposition_n of_o their_o will_n and_o though_o it_o be_v natural_o possible_a for_o a_o man_n to_o lay_v down_o his_o neck_n by_o a_o actual_a motion_n of_o the_o love_n of_o justice_n yet_o this_o alone_a will_v not_o change_v the_o natural_a

xii_o nevertheless_o since_o heathen_n always_o retain_v some_o love_n for_o order_n they_o may_v avoid_v the_o sin_n which_o they_o commit_v by_o revive_v that_o love_n by_o decline_v every_o thing_n that_o may_v excite_v self-love_n and_o by_o not_o consent_v before_o they_o be_v force_v to_o it_o as_o i_o shall_v show_v hereafter_o but_o indeed_o they_o can_v fulfil_v the_o commandment_n of_o

the_o church_n have_v very_o great_a reason_n to_o address_v her_o prayer_n to_o god_n the_o only_a true_a cause_n but_o through_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o occasional_a and_o distributive_a cause_n of_o the_o good_a thing_n which_o we_o pray_v for_o for_o though_o sinner_n never_o receive_v grace_n but_o when_o christ_n pray_v for_o they_o by_o his_o desire_n either_o actual_a or_o habitual_a

their_o prayer_n be_v beneficial_a to_o their_o friend_n i_o see_v no_o sufficient_a reason_n to_o deny_v the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n this_o power_n only_o we_o must_v observe_v that_o they_o be_v not_o occasional_a cause_n of_o inward_a grace_n for_o this_o power_n be_v give_v to_o christ_n alone_o as_o the_o architect_n of_o the_o eternal_a temple_n the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n the_o
