make_v we_o wise_a to_o salvation_n the_o law_n of_o nature_n or_o right_a reason_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o political_n government_n and_o all_o civil_a or_o municipal_a law_n be_v to_o be_v square_v

the_o end_n for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o whole_a society_n 1._o we_o have_v the_o general_a nature_n power_n or_o authority_n government_n general_o consider_v denote_v superiority_n of_o office_n

this_o government_n in_o general_n be_v of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n but_o in_o special_a whether_o monarchical_a absolute_a or_o limit_v and_o conditional_a whether_o by_o hereditary_a succession_n

general_n be_v of_o god_n as_o solomon_n and_o st._n paul_n say_v but_o the_o specification_n limitation_n and_o first_o designation_n of_o the_o person_n or_o form_n be_v by_o humane_a right_n or_o positive_a law_n according_a to_o the_o discretion_n of_o the_o assembly_n of_o the_o people_n and_o this_o seem_v to_o i_o evident_a by_o scripture_n and_o reason_n thus_o the_o high_a power_n be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n say_v st._n paul_n and_o the_o emperor_n be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o man_n say_v st._n peter_n mankind_n be_v natural_o subject_a to_o none_o but_o god_n or_o who_o god_n

opinion_n seem_v consonant_a to_o the_o doctrine_n and_o history_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n the_o constant_a practice_n of_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n or_o rather_o the_o people_n of_o any_o commonwealth_n be_v consonant_n to_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o be_v neither_o erroneous_a in_o divinity_n nor_o dangerous_a in_o policy_n and_o experience_n show_v that_o the_o best_a and_o most_o conscientious_a subject_n pay_v obedience_n according_a to_o the_o several_a law_n and_o custom_n of_o their_o country_n the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n be_v write_v either_o in_o the_o reign_n of_o claudius_n caesar_n or_o of_o nero._n as_o for_o claudius_n historian_n tell_v we_o that_o he_o hide_v himself_o and_o the_o soldier_n proclaim_v he_o emperor_n and_o both_o the_o multitude_n and_o the_o senate_n agree_v to_o his_o election_n and_o as_o for_o nero_n his_o quinquennium_fw-la or_o first_o five_o year_n be_v admire_v by_o all_o and_o have_v the_o

persecutor_n yet_o the_o law_n and_o custom_n of_o the_o roman_a empire_n in_o civil_a thing_n be_v good_a and_o just_a and_o in_o those_o thing_n of_o which_o st._n paul_n speak_v even_o nero_n command_n be_v to_o be_v obey_v active_o as_o be_v plain_a for_o there_o be_v no_o power_n but_o of_o god_n and_o ruler_n be_v not_o a_o terror_n to_o good_a work_n but_o to_o the_o evil_a and_o he_o

of_o all_o the_o famous_a schoolman_n either_o ancient_a or_o modern_a who_o i_o have_v either_o read_v or_o look_v into_o insomuch_o that_o i_o stand_v amaze_v that_o this_o doctrine_n shall_v have_v no_o more_o follower_n in_o england_n when_o in_o all_o other_o dispute_v our_o english_a divine_n be_v the_o most_o rational_a man_n in_o the_o world_n but_o to_o use_v st._n paul_n word_n in_o

by_o search_n it_o be_v the_o unite_a determination_n of_o all_o politician_n schoolman_n and_o divine_n who_o purposely_o handle_v the_o controversy_n that_o though_o prince_n and_o subject_a be_v

offendere_fw-la quàm_fw-la placere_fw-la adulando_fw-la i_o think_v nothing_o become_v a_o priest_n so_o much_o as_o integrity_n i_o be_o sure_a that_o no_o man_n can_v deny_v that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o high_a power_n command_v thing_n lawful_a or_o of_o the_o civil_a legal_a command_n of_o the_o high_a power_n and_o these_o must_v not_o be_v resist_v but_o they_o mistake_v who_o think_v that_o this_o command_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v give_v to_o christian_n to_o be_v obedient_a to_o nero_n in_o his_o unlawful_a command_n whereas_o the_o apostle_n command_v in_o this_o

the_o apostle_n command_v they_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o he_o in_o unlawful_n if_o indeed_o nero_n command_n be_v only_o unlawful_a and_o this_o direction_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v make_v only_o to_o christian_n in_o those_o time_n and_o that_o subjection_n command_v be_v only_o suffer_v subjection_n than_o this_o scripture_n may_v make_v much_o more_o for_o nonresistance_n but_o though_o nero_n be_v a_o enemy_n to_o the_o christian_n yet_o some_o of_o his_o command_n be_v lawful_a and_o this_o direction_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o make_v only_o to_o christian_n in_o those_o time_n but_o as_o a_o general_a rule_n for_o all_o good_a men._n and_o the_o obedience_n and_o subjection_n here_o command_v be_v not_o only_o to_o be_v passive_a but_o active_a this_o scripture_n
