the_o three_o point_n be_v god_n honour_n must_v first_o be_v provide_v for_o the_o law_n of_o thy_o god_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v true_a the_o charge_n proceed_v from_o a_o heathen_a king_n but_o not_o from_o a_o heathen_a spirit_n and_o be_v record_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n to_o be_v a_o move_a precedent_n and_o authentic_a copy_n for_o all_o king_n to_o write_v after_o bless_a be_v

of_o justice_n in_o their_o several_a orb_n that_o whosoever_o will_v not_o obey_v the_o law_n of_o my_o god_n etc._n etc._n now_o if_o heathen_a artaxerxes_n can_v stoop_v so_o low_a as_o to_o let_v the_o law_n of_o ezra_n god_n go_v before_o his_o own_o how_o much_o more_o by_o a_o bind_a argument_n from_o the_o less_o to_o the_o great_a will_v it_o be_v expect_v from_o all_o king_n who_o own_v he_o for_o their_o god_n so_o that_o the_o name_n god_n law_n before_o the_o king_n be_v not_o bare_a compliment_n and_o for_o manner_n sake_n only_o but_o for_o the_o natural_a precedency_n thereof_o and_o very_o when_o god_n make_v all_o this_o world_n and_o bring_v man_n not_o to_o the_o bare_a wall_n of_o it_o but_o as_o the_o be_v to_o the_o hive_n even_o ready_o stock_v and_o store_v with_o

their_o reign_n and_o government_n with_o do_v something_o for_o god_n and_o religion_n as_o be_v evident_a in_o moses_n joshua_n david_n solomon_n and_o the_o rest_n and_o of_o famous_a memory_n be_v

israel_n second_o the_o papist_n who_o though_o they_o can_v brook_v king_n &_o many_o of_o their_o law_n yet_o they_o can_v endure_v they_o so_o near_o god_n and_o his_o law_n but_o there_o must_v be_v room_n leave_v between_o god_n and_o the_o king_n for_o the_o pope_n who_o his_o flatterer_n call_v vicegod_n monarch_n of_o the_o christian_a world_n defender_n of_o the_o papal_a omnipotency_n oh_o blasphemy_n and_o as_o for_o emperor_n and_o king_n they_o be_v but_o as_o the_o moon_n borrow_v their_o light_n from_o he_o their_o sun_n and_o be_v nothing_o but_o his_o vassal_n to_o hold_v

those_o who_o god_n have_v join_v together_o let_v no_o man_n put_v asunder_o such_o be_v every_o where_o god_n and_o the_o king_n god_n and_o cesar_n god_n law_n and_o the_o king_n law_n and_o

be_v in_o itself_o weak_a and_o needs_o it_o but_o because_o man_n be_v not_o so_o well_o breed_v as_o for_o conscience_n or_o love_n of_o goodness_n to_o obey_v but_o be_v much_o sway_v by_o

god_n law_n be_v immediate_o seat_v upon_o the_o conscience_n man_n law_n be_v seat_v upon_o the_o conscience_n too_o but_o mediate_o and_o as_o it_o have_v authority_n from_o god_n law_n for_o god_n do_v permit_v king_n to_o make_v law_n as_o king_n do_v corporation_n and_o college_n to_o make_v constitution_n provide_v always_o that_o they_o contain_v in_o they_o nothing_o contrary_a to_o a_o
