a_o historical_a search_n the_o author_n very_o well_o know_v that_o all_o these_o duty_n be_v bind_v by_o god_n on_o all_o man_n conscience_n and_o now_o by_o all_o that_o have_v be_v say_v on_o this_o point_n i_o think_v it_o may_v sufficient_o appear_v that_o if_o god_n do_v not_o fix_v it_o in_o a_o person_n by_o special_a revelation_n civil_a authority_n must_v go_v by_o human_a right_n right_n be_v inseparable_a from_o it_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o thing_n in_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n in_o the_o supposal_n and_o intention_n of_o the_o commandment_n that_o carry_v it_o and_o call_v

no_o man_n can_v put_v himself_o into_o authotity_n no_o man_n take_v this_o honour_n to_o himself_o but_o must_v be_v call_v to_o it_o say_v st._n paul_n heb._n 5._o 4_o 5._o speak_v of_o the_o

most_o natural_a to_o be_v put_v to_o every_o such_o person_n and_o must_v be_v answer_v by_o show_v some_o good_a call_n and_o commission_n now_o this_o call_n a_o man_n to_o authority_n and_o

and_o build_v on_o but_o as_o he_o who_o have_v the_o right_n may_v appear_v from_o what_o be_v already_o say_v to_o have_v the_o authority_n i_o shall_v now_o show_v that_o he_o who_o have_v the_o authority_n must_v have_v the_o duty_n and_o allegiance_n which_o the_o commandment_n call_v for_o to_o the_o authority_n and_o that_o whether_o he_o be_v in_o place_n to_o exercise_v it_o or_o no._n indeed_o when_o he_o can_v exercise_v his_o authority_n subject_n can_v obey_v or_o disobey_v a_o eject_v prince_n in_o that_o exercise_n as_o for_o instance_n they_o can_v obey_v he_o in_o his_o due_a proclamation_n or_o legal_a command_n when_o he_o can_v issue_v out_o none_o nor_o in_o court_n and_o officer_n when_o they_o do_v not_o proceed_v in_o his_o name_n or_o act_v by_o any_o

authority_n to_o they_o which_o i_o leave_v other_o to_o determine_v but_o the_o main_a of_o obedience_n be_v keep_v under_o obedience_n or_o own_v the_o authority_n of_o his_o person_n and_o our_o own_o subjection_n and_o obligation_n to_o he_o and_o there_o be_v no_o breach_n of_o obedience_n like_v to_o that_o of_o cast_v off_o all_o obedience_n to_o disobey_v he_o in_o any_o particular_a act_n of_o exercise_v his_o authority_n be_v only_o ill_a as_o it_o be_v a_o infringement_n and_o violation_n of_o the_o authority_n of_o his_o person_n and_o to_o throw_v off_o all_o obedience_n be_v a_o utter_a abolition_n and_o absolute_a denial_n thereof_o the_o former_a may_v be_v the_o offence_n of_o a_o subject_a but_o the_o late_a of_o one_o that_o owe_v no_o subjection_n when_o a_o man_n only_o disobey_v he_o in_o exercise_v his_o authority_n though_o he_o disobey_v he_o in_o one_o thing_n he_o may_v be_v ready_a to_o obey_v he_o in_o every_o other_o thing_n but_o when_o he_o throw_v off_o his_o authority_n and_o obedience_n itself_o from_o that_o time_n he_o be_v for_o obey_v he_o in_o nothing_o at_o all_o though_o therefore_o as_o he_o say_v p._n 26._o there_o be_v no_o duty_n

authority_n be_v high_o to_o disobey_v if_o it_o be_v any_o part_n of_o due_a obedience_n affectionate_o to_o serve_v and_o support_v they_o and_o to_o throw_v off_o all_o obedience_n and_o turn_v subject_a to_o another_o person_n be_v the_o height_n of_o disobedience_n such_o disclaim_n of_o all_o allegiance_n and_o subjection_n be_v that_o which_o make_v open_a rebellion_n to_o be_v so_o

to_o exercise_v it_o or_o no._n this_o i_o think_v may_v sufficient_o appear_v from_o these_o follow_a consideration_n 1._o from_o the_o nature_n of_o authority_n which_o as_o i_o former_o observe_v be_v to_o lay_v obligation_n and_o that_o upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o men._n authority_n be_v no_o authority_n unless_o it_o oblige_v and_o what_o be_v authority_n to_o oblige_v to_o but_o

so_o that_o leave_v any_o man_n authority_n and_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o thing_n you_o leave_v a_o due_a obedience_n to_o it_o also_o 2._o from_o its_o be_v god_n authority_n it_o be_v a_o plain_a
