of_o every_o power_n but_o the_o contrary_a to_o the_o whole_a strain_n of_o those_o two_o verse_n viz._n the_o 3._o and_o 4._o experience_n find_v to_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o divers_a ruler_n whence_o i_o infer_v the_o ordination_n of_o god_n here_o intend_v be_v institutive_a or_o preceptive_a 9_o and_o last_o another_o argument_n there_o be_v to_o be_v raise_v from_o the_o

that_o do_v evil_a and_o this_o we_o must_v understand_v to_o be_v their_o constant_a and_o perpetual_a end_n but_o providence_n do_v not_o seldom_o ordain_v power_n in_o judgement_n and_o for_o

we_o must_v needs_o say_v it_o be_v so_o order_v by_o god_n in_o his_o providence_n and_o if_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n do_v so_o oftentimes_o intend_v and_o dispose_v that_o magistrate_n be_v a_o scourge_n to_o virtue_n and_o indulgencer_n of_o wickedness_n than_o we_o can_v say_v unless_o we_o may_v speak_v contradictory_n that_o the_o ordination_n of_o the_o power_n by_o which_o they_o
