according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v psal_n 93._o 5._o holiness_n become_v thy_o house_n for_o ever_o thus_o you_o see_v it_o clear_v from_o the_o text_n that_o the_o government_n there_o speak_v of_o

which_o be_v a_o power_n that_o be_v never_o allow_v to_o church_n or_o church-officer_n and_o david_n speak_v of_o that_o power_n which_o the_o messiah_n shall_v put_v forth_o say_v psal_n 72._o 8._o he_o shall_v have_v dominion_n from_o sea_n to_o sea_n and_o from_o the_o river_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o earth_n the_o word_n there_o use_v for_o 〈◊〉_d for_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d

wherefore_o we_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o civil_a government_n do_v of_o right_o belong_v to_o jesus_n christ_n unless_o we_o shall_v willing_o shut_v our_o eye_n against_o the_o clear_a

sometime_o i_o allege_v also_o 1_o tim._n 6._o 15._o and_o apply_v those_o word_n the_o bless_a and_o only_a potentate_n unto_o christ_n as_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v speak_v immediate_o of_o christ_n lest_o any_o therefore_o shall_v mistake_v the_o place_n as_o i_o also_o do_v till_o i_o look_v into_o the_o original_a i_o think_v it_o good_a to_o advertise_v every_o one_o to_o examine_v due_o the_o word_n in_o their_o proper_a tongue_n ere_o they_o rely_v upon_o any_o interpretation_n give_v but_o yet_o the_o mistake_n be_v not_o great_a because_o that_o which_o be_v speak_v of_o
