upon_o he_o because_o he_o be_v a_o prophet_n which_o shall_v teach_v other_o so_o we_o shall_v pick_v out_o they_o which_o have_v a_o double_a spirit_n to_o be_v magistrate_n because_o they_o must_v

but_o the_o godly_a because_o he_o which_o will_v have_v choose_v the_o best_a yet_o like_v another_o before_o he_o therefore_o there_o be_v such_o a_o scrutenie_n 20._o among_o the_o tribe_n to_o find_v out_o the_o man_n who_o god_n have_v choose_v as_o jethro_n teach_v moses_n to_o cull_v 21._o out_o of_o all_o the_o people_n those_o which_o have_v best_a courage_n and_o fear_v god_n and_o deal_v true_o and_o hate_a covetousness_n therefore_o a_o wicked_a man_n may_v not_o supply_v the_o place_n of_o god_n as_o the_o scribe_n &_o pharisy_n sit_v in_o 2._o moses_n chair_n but_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o judas_n let_v another_o take_v his_o place_n so_o let_v better_o take_v their_o place_n for_o they_o which_o be_v call_v god_n must_v be_v like_o god_n if_o all_o shall_v be_v holy_a as_o he_o be_v holy_a how_o much_o more_o shall_v they_o be_v pure_a as_o he_o be_v pure_a wise_a as_o he_o be_v wise_a just_a as_o he_o be_v just_a which_o bear_v his_o name_n which_o supply_n his_o

man_n of_o israel_n from_o the_o shoulder_n upward_o 2._o so_o he_o which_o command_v other_o shall_v exceed_v other_o in_o gift_n of_o grace_n that_o they_o may_v know_v he_o from_o the_o rest_n and_o say_v this_o be_v he_o that_o excel_v the_o rest_n in_o virtue_n as_o saul_n do_v in_o stature_n like_o the_o king_n of_o bee_n which_o be_v fair_a of_o all_o the_o hive_n therefore_o if_o pharaoh_n will_v let_v none_o but_o joseph_n govern_v egypt_n in_o who_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n gen._n 41._o 38._o much_o more_o ought_v christian_a prince_n in_o the_o choose_n of_o joseph_n in_o their_o common_a wealth_n and_o therefore_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v like_o rehoboam_n which_o make_v they_o his_o counsellor_n who_o he_o shall_v have_v banish_v the_o court_n 1._o reg._n 12._o 8._o second_o this_o extoll_v the_o call_n of_o magistrate_n as_o jacob_n honour_v josephes_n child_n when_o he_o say_v they_o shall_v be_v call_v after_o his_o name_n so_o god_n honour_v the_o magistrate_n when_o he_o give_v they_o his_o own_o name_n calling_z they_o god_n as_o though_o there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o godhead_n in_o they_o these_o thing_n pertain_v to_o the_o wise_a and_o they_o themselves_o do_v not_o always_o see_v it_o yet_o he_o which_o have_v a_o spiritual_a eye_n and_o carry_v the_o pattern_n of_o god_n in_o his_o heart_n may_v see_v another_o likeness_n of_o god_n in_o magistrate_n then_o in_o common_a person_n as_o the_o builder_n of_o the_o temple_n have_v a_o special_a wisdom_n and_o spirit_n which_o god_n give_v they_o for_o that_o work_n which_o they_o be_v choose_v unto_o so_o when_o samuel_n have_v anoint_v david_n he_o say_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v upon_o 13._o david_n from_o that_o day_n forward_o as_o though_o he_o have_v another_o spirit_n after_o than_o he_o have_v before_o so_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n between_o king_n and_o subject_n though_o they_o be_v not_o god_n yet_o they_o be_v like_a god_n than_o other_o the_o prince_n be_v like_o a_o great_a image_n of_o god_n the_o magistrate_n be_v like_o little_a image_n of_o god_n appoint_v to_o rule_v for_o god_n to_o make_v law_n for_o god_n to_o reward_v for_o god_n to_o punish_v for_o god_n to_o speak_v for_o god_n to_o fight_v for_o god_n to_o reform_v for_o god_n and_o therefore_o their_o battle_n 6._o be_v call_v the_o lord_n battle_n and_o their_o judgement_n the_o lord_n 6._o judgement_n and_o their_o throne_n the_o lord_n throne_n and_o
for_o so_o god_n do_v humble_v they_o and_o disgrace_v they_o which_o dishonour_n their_o calling_n as_o he_o do_v saul_n when_o the_o princely_a spirit_n depart_v from_o he_o his_o son_n &_o his_o daughter_n and_o his_o subject_n do_v favour_n 7._o david_n more_o than_o he_o that_o he_o 17._o can_v do_v nothing_o with_o they_o because_o god_n do_v not_o love_v he_o he_o will_v not_o let_v his_o servant_n love_v he_o but_o when_o david_n come_v to_o the_o 45._o crown_n because_o he_o have_v grace_n with_o god_n he_o prosper_v in_o all_o that_o he_o go_v about_o &_o reform_v what_o 10._o he_o will_v for_o the_o lord_n as_o he_o say_v subdue_v the_o people_n to_o he_o that_o be_v make_v they_o incline_v to_o his_o will_n as_o we_o read_v of_o saul_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o reign_n before_o he_o have_v rebel_v a_o band_n of_o man_n do_v cleave_v unto_o he_o of_o who_o it_o be_v say_v who_o heart_n god_n have_v touch_v as_o though_o while_o the_o ruler_n heart_n 26._o do_v stand_v towards_o god_n the_o people_n heart_n shall_v stand_v towards_o they_o &_o they_o shall_v carry_v they_o like_o god_n to_o all_o their_o desire_n as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o david_n whatsoever_o the_o king_n do_v 26._o please_v all_o the_o people_n thus_o their_o name_n tell_v they_o how_o they_o shall_v rule_v and_o by_o consequent_a teach_v we_o how_o we_o shall_v obey_v god_n call_v they_o god_n therefore_o he_o which_o contemn_v they_o contemn_v god_n god_n call_v they_o father_n therefore_o we_o must_v reverence_v they_o like_o father_n god_n call_v they_o king_n prince_n lord_n judge_n power_n ruler_n and_o governor_n which_o be_v all_o name_n of_o honour_n &_o shall_v we_o dishonour_v who_o god_n do_v honour_n our_o first_o lesson_n be_v fear_v god_n the_o

obey_v 5._o for_o conscience_n sake_n not_o against_o conscience_n for_o they_o we_o put_v the_o king_n before_o god_n which_o christ_n say_v have_v no_o power_n but_o from_o god_n &_o 11._o therefore_o can_v make_v themselves_o magistrate_n no_o more_o they_o they_o can_v make_v themselves_o god_n as_o none_o but_o god_n can_v give_v this_o name_n so_o no_o man_n which_o exalt_v himself_o can_v challenge_v this_o honour_n no_o more_o they_o 4._o simon_n magus_n be_v great_a because_o 9_o he_o call_v himself_o a_o great_a man_n but_o they_o to_o who_o god_n say_v i_o have_v call_v you_o god_n as_o though_o he_o have_v the_o name_n &_o appoint_v of_o they_o every_o power_n be_v from_o god_n for_o by_o nature_n 7._o no_o man_n can_v challenge_v power_n over_o other_o but_o by_o the_o word_n &_o therefore_o every_o soul_n which_o be_v subject_a to_o god_n must_v be_v subject_a to_o they_o for_o 23._o he_o which_o call_v they_o king_n call_v we_o 12._o subject_n this_o be_v their_o patent_n as_o the_o queen_n of_o sheba_n say_v to_o solomon_n 8._o that_o god_n have_v choose_v they_o king_n and_o set_v they_o upon_o the_o throne_n as_o he_o say_v and_o all_o thing_n be_v make_v 1._o so_o as_o he_o say_v all_o thing_n shall_v be_v therefore_o unless_o i_o say_v that_o they_o have_v their_o ordination_n from_o god_n though_o they_o be_v lord_n and_o judge_n &_o magistrate_n yet_o be_v no_o lord_n no_o judge_n no_o magistrate_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o the_o pope_n and_o his_o cardinal_n to_o who_o god_n never_o say_v you_o be_v lord_n or_o judge_n or_o magistrate_n be_v no_o lord_n no_o judge_n no_o magistrate_n of_o god_n but_o that_o which_o the_o lord_n say_v they_o be_v that_o they_o be_v &_o no_o more_o though_o they_o put_v on_o a_o triple_a

they_o be_v not_o worthy_a of_o these_o title_n why_o shall_v they_o have_v high_o they_o which_o give_v they_o more_o than_o the_o lord_n give_v they_o make_v they_o proud_a and_o insolent_a and_o

that_o puff_n they_o &_o trouble_v they_o like_o saul_n armour_n 39_o they_o will_v either_o intend_v the_o duty_n of_o minister_n and_o teach_v as_o the_o apostle_n do_v or_o else_o forsake_v those_o

of_o the_o pope_n he_o be_v neither_o god_n nor_o man_n so_o may_v it_o be_v say_v of_o both_o he_o and_o his_o cardinal_n that_o they_o be_v neither_o good_a minister_n nor_o good_a magistrate_n
