of_o speak_v shall_v be_v make_v to_o confront_v the_o most_o plain_a and_o obvious_a doctrine_n of_o holy_a scripture_n when_o it_o be_v the_o interest_n of_o some_o man_n to_o have_v such_o thing_n believe_v but_o these_o thing_n be_v only_o previous_a to_o my_o design_n and_o argument_n to_o which_o i_o now_o direct_o proceed_v i._n e._n to_o lay_v down_o the_o true_a ground_n of_o christian_a loyalty_n to_o fix_v it_o upon_o a_o principle_n that_o will_v keep_v it_o steady_a in_o this_o giddy_a and_o waver_a generation_n now_o this_o be_v the_o be_v subject_a upon_o reason_n of_o religion_n upon_o principle_n of_o conscience_n and_o duty_n to_o god_n which_o our_o apostle_n mean_v here_o by_o submit_v for_o the_o lord_n sake_n 1._o the_o first_o thing_n i_o propose_v on_o this_o be_v to_o make_v good_a the_o ground_n of_o my_o argument_n show_v that_o conscience_n do_v immediate_o oblige_v to_o this_o and_o that_o if_o man_n have_v a_o true_a respect_n to_o god_n almighty_a and_o a_o regard_n to_o the_o duty_n that_o he_o have_v make_v necessary_a they_o must_v thus_o submit_v and_o a_o very_a little_a i_o hope_v will_v suffice_v upon_o this_o in_o such_o a_o audience_n for_o if_o the_o 5_o precept_n in_o the_o decalogue_n be_v moral_a and_o eternal_o oblige_v and_o if_o either_o the_o jewish_a or_o christian_a church_n may_v be_v allow_v to_o have_v understand_v the_o sense_n of_o it_o or_o if_o the_o plain_a precept_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n may_v be_v allow_v to_o be_v any_o rule_n of_o conscience_n and_o god_n immediate_a command_n to_o lay_v any_o obligation_n upon_o it_o than_o it_o be_v most_o plain_a that_o man_n be_v as_o immediate_o tie_v to_o this_o in_o point_n of_o conscience_n as_o any_o other_o duty_n whatsoever_o so_o that_o let_v conscience_n be_v as_o free_v as_o man_n assert_v it_o to_o be_v and_o accountable_a unto_o god_n only_o as_o they_o love_v popular_o to_o speak_v in_o this_o we_o desire_v no_o more_o to_o be_v grant_v and_o be_v ready_a to_o join_v issue_n upon_o it_o for_o if_o government_n be_v god_n own_o immediate_a institution_n and_o king_n special_o commission_v and_o constitute_v by_o he_o if_o he_o have_v guard_v they_o with_o law_n and_o charge_v all_o to_o be_v obedient_a to_o they_o on_o pain_n of_o damnation_n and_o his_o high_a displeasure_n than_o i_o be_o sure_a if_o conscience_n be_v a_o honest_a respect_n to_o god_n and_o his_o law_n and_o any_o thing_n more_o than_o the_o opinion_n and_o fancy_n of_o every_o private_a person_n it_o must_v necessary_o oblige_v all_o man_n that_o follow_v the_o conduct_n of_o it_o in_o this_o instance_n now_o whether_o these_o thing_n be_v so_o or_o not_o i_o be_o content_a the_o most_o biased_a and_o even_o perjudice_v person_n judge_v when_o they_o have_v read_v seven_o verse_n of_o the_o 13_o to_o the_o roman_n and_o five_o verse_n in_o this_o chapter_n where_o it_o be_v plain_a if_o either_o the_o great_a apostle_n of_o the_o circumcision_n or_o of_o the_o gentile_n understand_v the_o obligation_n of_o conscience_n or_o may_v be_v think_v able_a to_o direct_v the_o obedience_n of_o it_o we_o need_v not_o contend_v far_o in_o this_o matter_n though_o if_o need_n be_v we_o may_v summon_v the_o old_a testament_n the_o doctrine_n and_o example_n of_o the_o bless_a jesus_n in_o the_o new_a the_o consonant_a doctrine_n and_o practice_n too_o of_o the_o ancient_a and_o best_a christian_n to_o vouch_v the_o truth_n of_o all_o this_o 2._o but_o the_o thing_n be_v plain_a and_o i_o proceed_v to_o represent_v the_o advantage_n of_o fix_v allegiance_n and_o loyalty_n upon_o this_o principle_n i_o know_v too_o well_o how_o forward_o some_o man_n have_v be_v to_o represent_v religion_n a_o enemy_n to_o government_n and_o to_o reproach_v the_o doctrine_n of_o conscience_n as_o a_o near_a plea_n for_o rebellion_n and_o resistance_n and_o i_o will_v to_o god_n that_o some_o man_n practice_n who_o have_v pretend_v so_o much_o to_o both_o have_v not_o give_v unthinking_a man_n too_o much_o cause_n for_o such_o surmise_n but_o i_o do_v not_o understand_v why_o this_o aught_o to_o prejudice_v my_o present_a argument_n unless_o we_o can_v distinguish_v between_o the_o truth_n and_o hypocrisy_n of_o a_o thing_n nor_o will_v allow_v any_o man_n to_o be_v true_o honest_a because_o there_o be_v abundance_n of_o knave_n in_o the_o world_n allow_v i_o that_o religion_n be_v a_o real_a thing_n and_o conscience_n more_o than_o a_o bare_a name_n and_o methinks_v these_o be_v no_o very_o hard_o postulate_v to_o beg_v in_o a_o christian_a audience_n and_o then_o i_o will_v be_v content_a to_o argue_v the_o advantage_n of_o it_o to_o government_n with_o any_o thing_n that_o the_o man_n of_o sense_n and_o reason_n as_o they_o please_v to_o call_v themselves_o shall_v set_v up_o in_o competition_n with_o it_o all_o i_o purpose_v to_o say_v i_o shall_v reduce_v to_o these_o three_o head_n of_o advantage_n only_o 1._o the_o first_o be_v the_o keep_n man_n steady_a and_o fix_v in_o their_o loyalty_n and_o subjection_n 2._o the_o second_o be_v the_o satisfaction_n and_o security_n of_o

1._o to_o the_o purpose_n of_o keep_v man_n steady_a and_o constant_a in_o their_o subjection_n and_o loyalty_n it_o be_v a_o sad_a contemplation_n to_o consider_v how_o desultory_n and_o fickle_a the_o humour_n and_o temper_n of_o man_n especial_o the_o great_a crowd_n of_o they_o general_o be_v but_o it_o be_v something_o sad_a to_o consider_v that_o there_o shall_v never_o be_v want_v evil_a and_o design_v man_n to_o put_v a_o evil_a ferment_n into_o their_o temper_n and_o to_o poison_v their_o allegiance_n and_o duty_n to_o their_o prince_n and_o yet_o the_o worst_a of_o all_o be_v to_o consider_v how_o ready_a the_o multitude_n usual_o be_v for_o such_o insinuation_n easy_o prejudice_v against_o their_o governor_n please_v to_o hear_v any_o ill_a story_n of_o they_o and_o apt_a to_o idolise_v those_o that_o set_v up_o for_o assertor_n of_o their_o liberty_n and_o right_n though_o in_o the_o end_n they_o find_v they_o always_o the_o great_a betrayer_n and_o inslaver_v of_o they_o now_o in_o this_o state_n of_o thing_n what_o can_v fix_v this_o volatile_a temper_n of_o man_n and_o keep_v they_o steady_a to_o their_o duty_n in_o spite_n of_o their_o own_o inclination_n and_o the_o sorcery_n of_o factious_a rebellious_a man_n like_o religion_n there_o be_v but_o four_o thing_n i_o can_v think_v of_o to_o come_v into_o the_o competition_n in_o this_o case_n tower_n in_o

it_o be_v describe_v here_o by_o st._n peter_n and_o this_o the_o rather_o because_o it_o will_v give_v i_o a_o fair_a occasion_n of_o reflect_v upon_o two_o thing_n under_o which_o the_o man_n of_o republican_n and_o turbulent_a spirit_n seek_v to_o shelter_v themselves_o 1._o then_o i_o observe_v that_o when_o our_o apostle_n speak_v of_o subjection_n here_o he_o intend_v it_o equal_o to_o the_o person_n and_o law_n of_o king_n and_o governor_n and_o make_v no_o distinction_n at_o all_o between_o they_o in_o these_o word_n he_o seem_v to_o mean_v their_o law_n and_o in_o the_o word_n immediate_o follow_v he_o express_v their_o person_n to_o the_o king_n and_o to_o those_o that_o be_v send_v by_o he_o i_o know_v no_o reason_n to_o oppose_v one_o of_o these_o against_o the_o other_o or_o to_o distinguish_v between_o submit_v to_o they_o subjection_n to_o the_o one_o imply_v subjection_n to_o the_o other_o in_o the_o sober_a sense_n of_o all_o the_o world_n and_o every_o honest_a heart_n will_v take_v it_o to_o hold_v true_a both_o way_n he_o that_o submit_v to_o the_o king_n will_v submit_v to_o his_o law_n and_o he_o that_o submit_v to_o his_o law_n can_v resist_v or_o offer_v violence_n to_o his_o person_n and_o yet_o we_o have_v have_v and_o i_o wish_v only_o have_v have_v such_o nimble_a sophister_n as_o can_v put_v a_o difference_n between_o these_o both_o way_n some_o that_o can_v talk_v high_a of_o allegiance_n of_o deference_n and_o a_o mighty_a respect_n to_o the_o king_n of_o be_v as_o good_a subject_n as_o any_o but_o yet_o make_v bold_a to_o desecrate_v his_o law_n and_o despise_v his_o authority_n when_o their_o interest_n or_o humour_n be_v cross_v as_o if_o honour_n to_o the_o one_o will_v be_v secure_v without_o respect_n to_o the_o other_o and_o we_o have_v other_o as_o quick_a sight_v the_o other_o way_n that_o can_v distinguish_v between_o the_o authority_n and_o person_n of_o the_o king_n and_o make_v a_o pretend_a respect_n to_o he_o in_o his_o political_a capacity_n a_o excuse_n for_o violence_n against_o he_o in_o his_o personal_n that_o can_v raise_v arm_n by_o his_o authority_n against_o his_o person_n and_o use_v those_o arm_n against_o the_o man_n in_o defence_n of_o the_o king_n sophistical_a miscreant_n as_o if_o authority_n will_v fight_v against_o itself_o or_o murder_v of_o king_n can_v be_v in_o any_o
