of_o government_n thus_o to_o be_v from_o god_n not_o from_o the_o people_n first_o no_o man_n have_v a_o right_a to_o dispose_v of_o his_o own_o life_n to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o another_o only_a god_n the_o author_n of_o be_v can_v give_v a_o power_n to_o the_o progenitor_n the_o instrument_n of_o the_o be_v of_o his_o descendants_n to_o dispose_v of_o the_o life_n of_o a_o offend_a descendent_a in_o the_o prosecution_n of_o justice_n according_a to_o gen._n 9.6_o whosoever_o shed_v man_n blood_n by_o man_n shall_v his_o blood_n be_v shed_v so_o that_o if_o the_o people_n be_v the_o original_a of_o government_n the_o magistrate_n have_v be_v a_o murderer_n in_o execute_v vengeance_n even_o on_o a_o murderer_n and_o the_o murderer_n have_v be_v felo_fw-la de_fw-la se_fw-la a_o self_n murderer_n in_o submit_v to_o the_o sentence_n second_o we_o believe_v government_n to_o be_v from_o god_n because_o the_o law_n make_v by_o governor_n be_v general_o for_o the_o encouragement_n of_o virtue_n and_o piety_n and_o for_o the_o suppression_n of_o vice_n so_o that_o the_o fruit_n show_v that_o government_n be_v a_o plant_n of_o our_o heavenly_a father_n plant_v whereas_o people_n be_v general_o wicked_a will_v if_o they_o have_v be_v the_o original_n of_o government_n have_v set_v up_o such_o governor_n as_o shall_v have_v establish_v iniquity_n by_o a_o law_n three_o add_v that_o that_o spirit_n of_o government_n pour_v out_o upon_o governor_n show_v that_o god_n who_o alone_o can_v so_o endow_v they_o do_v commissionate_v they_o as_o his_o vicegerent_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v pro._n 16.10_o a_o divine_a sentence_n or_o a_o judgement_n from_o god_n be_v in_o the_o lip_n of_o the_o king_n and_o the_o essential_a wisdom_n of_o god_n say_v pro._n 8.15_o by_o i_o king_n reign_v and_o prince_n decree_v justice_n the_o art_n of_o government_n or_o kingcraft_n be_v from_o the_o lord_n four_o it_o be_v observe_v in_o all_o history_n that_o rebel_n be_v ordinary_o follow_v with_o divine_a vengeance_n but_o we_o cavalier_n can_v not_o think_v that_o god_n will_v engage_v his_o power_n and_o justice_n to_o vindicate_v a_o idol_n of_o the_o people_n set_v up_o so_o that_o five_o have_v not_o god_n say_v of_o magistrate_n psal_n 82.6_o i_o have_v say_v you_o be_v god_n obedience_n in_o the_o people_n to_o they_o have_v be_v idolatry_n in_o set_v up_o a_o creature_n of_o their_o own_o as_o a_o god_n and_o worship_v it_o six_o but_o our_o chief_a reason_n be_v because_o scripture_n so_o peremptory_o assert_v it_o ro._n 13.1_o that_o magistrate_n be_v god_n minister_n and_o god_n ordinance_n after_o this_o first_o position_n be_v thus_o establish_v to_o we_o that_o god_n and_o not_o the_o people_n be_v the_o original_a of_o government_n we_o proceed_v to_o inquire_v how_o the_o patriarchal_a government_n over_o single_a clan_n or_o family_n and_o the_o descendants_n in_o they_o pass_v into_o a_o more_o ample_a government_n over_o many_o distinct_a family_n before_o independent_a from_o one_o another_o and_o we_o think_v it_o reasonable_a to_o conclude_v that_o this_o change_n come_v into_o the_o world_n either_o by_o a_o force_a or_o voluntary_a compact_n a_o force_a compact_n be_v when_o the_o king_n or_o patriarch_n of_o one_o family_n or_o clan_n overcome_v the_o patriarch_n of_o another_o family_n and_o his_o family_n and_o force_v they_o to_o consent_v to_o obey_v he_o as_o do_v those_o of_o his_o own_o family_n or_o it_o may_v be_v he_o impose_v worse_a condition_n of_o servitude_n transportation_n tribute_n or_o other_o hardship_n upon_o they_o as_o the_o babylonish_n monarch_n do_v 2_o king_n 18.32_o and_o so_o do_v the_o turk_n at_o this_o day_n set_v the_o conquer_a under_o his_o timuriot_n but_o in_o this_o case_n of_o conquest_n two_o thing_n be_v observable_a namely_o first_o that_o the_o conquer_a patriarch_n may_v happen_v to_o abate_v something_o of_o his_o own_o dominion_n over_o his_o own_o clan_n on_o account_n of_o his_o own_o war_n against_o the_o other_o family_n have_v before_o the_o expedition_n promise_v his_o own_o subject_n and_o their_o posterity_n some_o immunity_n if_o they_o will_v be_v faithful_a and_o courageous_a and_o probable_o many_o of_o the_o immunitys_n which_o subject_n claim_v own_o their_o rise_n to_o such_o promise_n which_o be_v once_o make_v they_o ought_v to_o be_v observe_v by_o the_o prince_n or_o patriark_n thus_o king_n saul_n promise_v 1._o sam._n 17.25_o that_o whosoever_o will_v combat_v and_o kill_v goliath_n he_o will_v enrich_v he_o and_o make_v his_o father_n house_n free_a in_o israel_n second_o it_o be_v undeniable_a that_o conquest_n in_o itself_o be_v no_o obligation_n to_o subjection_n to_o the_o conqueror_n for_o no_o man_n can_v pretend_v by_o conquest_n a_o right_a to_o seize_v my_o liberty_n and_o to_o abridge_v my_o allegiance_n to_o my_o natural_a prince_n but_o i_o can_v more_o just_o pretend_v my_o right_n when_o ever_o i_o be_o able_a to_o recover_v my_o liberty_n and_o free_a exercise_n of_o allegiance_n to_o my_o natural_a liege_n lord_n so_o that_o till_o compact_n confirm_v conquest_n submission_n to_o the_o conqueror_n be_v only_o a_o take_a quarter_n which_o imply_v i_o will_v do_v nothing_o against_o the_o life_n of_o he_o that_o give_v i_o quarter_n till_o by_o redemption_n or_o reprisal_n by_o my_o prince_n or_o his_o ally_n i_o recover_v my_o liberty_n only_o therefore_o compact_a after_o conquest_n can_v lay_v a_o obligation_n to_o subjection_n to_o the_o conqueror_n and_o how_o long_o it_o be_v before_o such_o a_o compact_n become_v valid_a and_o oblige_a whilst_o our_o natural_a prince_n continue_v in_o arm_n and_o yield_v not_o be_v something_o difficult_a to_o determine_v for_o my_o part_n i_o think_v that_o for_o so_o long_o it_o be_v not_o a_o valid_a compact_n but_o only_o a_o take_a quarter_n but_o though_o conquest_n and_o the_o compact_n issue_v upon_o they_o be_v the_o ordinary_a way_n of_o imbody_v many_o family_n under_o one_o governor_n yet_o undoubted_o voluntary_a compact_n also_o do_v the_o same_o in_o many_o time_n and_o place_n many_o patriarch_n and_o their_o clans_n associate_a together_o for_o mutual_a defence_n against_o potent_a enemy_n and_o subject_v themselves_o to_o some_o one_o patriarch_n or_o famous_a man_n among_o they_o who_o be_v to_o go_v in_o and_o out_o before_o they_o and_o fight_v their_o battle_n thus_o the_o gileadite_n choose_v jephtah_n and_o the_o israelite_n desire_v in_o samuel_n time_n such_o a_o king_n and_o obtain_v saul_n but_o then_o we_o be_v to_o observe_v that_o those_o compact_n be_v chief_o if_o not_o only_o ratify_v by_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o patriarch_n combine_v so_o that_o the_o inferior_a member_n of_o the_o family_n have_v little_a or_o no_o vote_n in_o the_o make_v the_o compact_a and_o the_o set_v the_o condition_n of_o it_o so_o that_o the_o israelite_n who_o assemble_v for_o saul_n election_n and_o inauguration_n be_v the_o elder_n of_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n 1_o sam._n 8.4_o these_o voluntary_a compact_n between_o patriarch_n be_v sometime_o with_o reservation_n of_o a_o share_n in_o the_o government_n among_o all_o the_o patriarch_n one_o only_o preside_v in_o council_n so_o that_o the_o major_a vote_n be_v to_o over-rule_v for_o the_o make_v municipal_a law_n and_o war_n or_o league_n with_o foreigner_n and_o for_o appoint_v officer_n military_a or_o civil_a and_o this_o be_v proper_o a_o aristocratical_a government_n or_o state_n when_o the_o compact_n of_o the_o combine_a patriarch_n carry_v over_o all_o their_o sovereignty_n to_o some_o one_o person_n who_o they_o choose_v to_o
