under_o the_o penalty_n of_o it_o as_o to_o instance_n several_a universal_a injunction_n of_o god_n in_o scripture_n sine_fw-la aliqua_fw-la exceptione_n &_o quae_fw-la ad_fw-la universos_fw-la pertinent_a without_o any_o exception_n but_o belong_v to_o all_o alike_o as_o man_n as_o in_o particular_a that_o in_o levit._n 20.2_o the_o lord_n there_o speak_v unto_o moses_n say_v thou_o shall_v say_v also_o to_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n whosoever_o he_o be_v of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n or_o of_o the_o stranger_n that_o dwell_v in_o israel_n that_o give_v his_o child_n to_o molech_n

as_o much_o as_o they_o be_v among_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o in_o the_o 10._o verse_n of_o the_o same_o chapter_n god_n say_v the_o man_n that_o commit_v adultery_n with_o another_o man_n wife_n etc._n etc._n shall_v die_v the_o death_n now_o we_o know_v that_o the_o office_n of_o any_o though_o never_o so_o high_a do_v not_o or_o at_o least_o shall_v not_o elevate_v he_o above_o his_o be_v he_o be_v a_o man_n still_o though_o in_o office_n a_o king_n and_o though_o in_o respect_n thereof_o god_n say_v i_o say_v you_o be_v god_n that_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o your_o office_n be_v

though_o i_o have_v say_v so_o yet_o you_o shall_v die_v like_o man_n which_o in_o the_o general_a sense_n of_o it_o may_v have_v respect_n to_o a_o temporal_a death_n common_a to_o all_o man_n who_o nature_n you_o magistrate_n bear_v yet_o may_v very_o well_o bear_v this_o interpretation_n likewise_o you_o shall_v die_v like_o man_n that_o be_v all_o sort_n of_o man_n if_o alike_o qualify_a if_o murderer_n you_o shall_v die_v like_o man_n that_o be_v those_o man_n that_o be_v murderer_n if_o adulterer_n you_o shall_v suffer_v like_o adulterer_n the_o rigour_n in_o reference_n to_o many_o

of_o god_n exempt_v none_o neither_o high_a or_o low_o rich_a or_o poor_a magistrate_n or_o subject_n from_o the_o punishment_n in_o case_n of_o transgression_n thereof_o now_o for_o any_o man_n to_o

to_o this_o opinion_n in_o the_o late_a king_n but_o to_o such_o that_o be_v of_o his_o spirit_n that_o connive_v at_o and_o still_o approve_v of_o such_o a_o opinion_n in_o he_o at_o least_o at_o the_o impunity_n of_o it_o whether_o they_o be_v magistrate_n or_o other_o you_o look_v more_o at_o the_o privilege_n and_o the_o honour_n then_o the_o care_n of_o the_o office_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v and_o you_o be_v far_o from_o solomon_n spirit_n that_o discern_v it_o to_o be_v the_o hard_a matter_n to_o govern_v the_o people_n in_o righteousness_n and_o therefore_o make_v it_o his_o prayer_n to_o god_n to_o beg_v wisdom_n and_o that_o not_o for_o his_o own_o end_n but_o to_o rule_v the_o people_n in_o equity_n he_o make_v their_o good_a the_o centre_n of_o his_o endeavour_n you_o the_o late_a king_n prerogative_n his_o riches_n greatness_n and_o long_a life_n the_o centre_n of_o you_o solomon_n reject_v all_o these_o in_o competition_n with_o the_o people_n good_a and_o how_o acceptable_a it_o be_v to_o god_n will_v appear_v in_o 1_o king_n 3.11_o a_o example_n we_o have_v of_o the_o same_o spirit_n in_o christ_n himself_o towards_o the_o good_a of_o his_o sheep_n john_n 10.11_o where_o he_o say_v i_o be_o that_o good_a shepherd_n that_o good_a shepherd_n lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o his_o sheep_n but_o how_o distant_a be_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o late_a king_n from_o such_o a_o temper_n that_o for_o a_o little_a self_n accommodation_n and_o forcible_a preservation_n of_o a_o few_o usurp_a privilege_n to_o himself_o seek_v to_o destroy_v if_o he_o be_v as_o shepherd_n his_o sheep_n the_o same_o example_n we_o have_v of_o nehemiah_n 5.14_o that_o will_v not_o burden_n the_o people_n to_o pleasure_v himself_o by_o this_o therefore_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o king_n have_v some_o earthly_a power_n above_o they_o which_o they_o serve_v and_o who_o good_a must_v be_v the_o end_n of_o their_o power_n to_o which_o then_o as_o their_o superior_a they_o must_v be_v accountable_a without_o which_o their_o power_n be_v usurp_v and_o by_o which_o they_o be_v depose_v prevent_v or_o punish_v according_a to_o the_o demerit_n of_o their_o fault_n now_o then_o to_o confirm_v this_o there_o be_v the_o example_n of_o solomon_n who_o be_v so_o far_o from_o plead_v any_o title_n of_o his_o own_o to_o the_o office_n that_o in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o his_o prayer_n he_o say_v lord_n thou_o have_v make_v thy_o servant_n king_n speak_v of_o himself_o in_o stead_n of_o david_n my_o father_n now_o that_o it_o be_v a_o righteous_a act_n upon_o just_a ground_n to_o prevent_v a_o successor_n it_o be_v manifest_a by_o this_o god_n own_o example_n because_o that_o adonijah_n by_o right_a of_o succession_n be_v heir_n to_o the_o crown_n yet_o notwithstanding_o be_v prevent_v by_o god_n who_o foresee_v that_o the_o people_n good_a will_v not_o be_v so_o much_o aim_v at_o by_o he_o as_o by_o solomon_n so_o that_o here_o will_v sit_o intervene_v this_o observation_n that_o the_o authority_n of_o all_o magistrate_n depend_v upon_o their_o good_a behaviour_n and_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a in_o case_n of_o misdemeanour_n either_o to_o prevent_v or_o dispossess_v they_o of_o their_o power_n the_o proof_n whereof_o i_o shall_v further_o amplify_v in_o discuss_v particular_o the_o kingly_a office_n in_o the_o quality_n of_o it_o what_o it_o be_v which_o i_o shall_v brief_o resolve_v in_o two_o particular_n first_o it_o be_v a_o trust_n second_o a_o office_n or_o duty_n a_o trust_n in_o that_o it_o be_v commit_v not_o from_o god_n by_o injunction_n by_o which_o only_a trust_n be_v impose_v but_o by_o his_o permission_n to_o a_o man_n from_o man_n so_o than_o it_o can_v be_v from_o succession_n which_o if_o lawful_a have_v only_o in_o case_n of_o good_a behaviour_n a_o preference_n to_o the_o trust_n that_o be_v a_o man_n lawful_o succeed_v if_o as_o well_o qualify_v as_o other_o be_v to_o be_v prefer_v in_o choice_n to_o the_o trust_n before_o they_o therefore_o as_o it_o be_v a_o trust_n so_o second_o it_o be_v a_o duty_n in_o that_o he_o be_v enjoin_v to_o perform_v that_o trust_n as_o by_o god_n that_o will_v have_v every_o man_n like_o himself_o faithful_a so_o by_o man_n from_o who_o he_o receive_v his_o charge_n and_o therefore_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v his_o intruster_n in_o that_o likewise_o the_o end_n of_o his_o trust_n be_v for_o their_o own_o good_a and_o welfare_n to_o who_o then_o he_o must_v without_o question_n be_v accountable_a and_o therefore_o a_o king_n to_o a_o people_n be_v as_o a_o accountant_a to_o a_o company_n a_o cashkeeper_n to_o his_o master_n now_o if_o a_o king_n or_o any_o other_o magistrate_n shall_v act_v quite_o contrary_a to_o the_o end_n of_o their_o trust_n viz._n the_o people_n good_a which_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o their_o authority_n and_o in_o stead_n thereof_o make_v it_o as_o a_o mantle_n that_o thereunder_o they_o may_v more_o secure_o preadvance_v their_o own_o private_a interest_n though_o direct_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o end_n of_o their_o office_n let_v the_o mean_a capacity_n judge_n whether_o such_o a_o magistrate_n or_o magistrate_n have_v not_o forfeit_v their_o trust_n upon_o which_o the_o intruster_n may_v just_o cease_v as_o to_o render_v to_o the_o person_n or_o person_n so_o offend_v according_a to_o his_o or_o their_o desert_n therein_o so_o to_o institute_v that_o trust_n that_o way_n the_o see_v best_a to_o discharge_v it_o see_v the_o end_n thereof_o be_v their_o own_o welfare_n it_o be_v reason_n itself_o therefore_o that_o the_o servant_n shall_v be_v accountable_a to_o his_o master_n for_o how_o ridiculous_a will_v it_o be_v for_o any_o servant_n a_o king_n be_v so_o to_o a_o people_n because_o long_o entrust_v without_o examination_n to_o refuse_v account_v when_o by_o
