plea_n we_o must_v inquire_v after_o the_o donation_n of_o the_o almighty_a and_o by_o what_o mean_v both_o they_o and_o we_o may_v be_v assure_v of_o it_o that_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v appoint_v by_o god_n as_o his_o vicegerent_n no_o doubt_n can_v be_v make_v because_o he_o who_o vicegerent_n they_o be_v declare_v they_o to_o be_v such_o by_o man_n immediate_o inspire_v by_o

have_v be_v extremity_n of_o madness_n as_o well_o as_o of_o impiety_n to_o deny_v it_o but_o because_o there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o appearance_n of_o any_o such_o immediate_a appointment_n of_o other_o prince_n and_o beside_o that_o they_o who_o arrogate_v to_o themselves_o the_o same_o authority_n do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o pretend_v to_o it_o therefore_o to_o make_v out_o the_o

shall_v allege_v be_v those_o word_n of_o st._n paul_n before_o remember_v that_o the_o power_n that_o then_o be_v be_v ordain_v of_o god_n for_o though_o that_o will_v give_v we_o little_a light_n into_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o appointment_n and_o consequent_o contribute_v little_a to_o the_o understanding_n of_o that_o of_o our_o own_o yet_o thus_o far_o it_o will_v contribute_v to_o it_o as_o to_o give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o those_o prince_n may_v be_v appoint_v by_o god_n who_o have_v no_o immediate_a designation_n for_o inasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v notorious_a both_o from_o the_o scripture_n and_o profane_a author_n that_o the_o power_n that_o then_o be_v be_v no_o other_o than_o the_o roman_a emperor_n of_o who_o immediate_a appointment_n by_o god_n there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o footstep_n either_o in_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o those_o prince_n may_v be_v appoint_v by_o he_o as_o his_o vicegerent_n who_o have_v no_o such_o immediate_a call_n i_o observe_v second_o that_o as_o the_o power_n that_o then_o be_v though_o they_o have_v no_o immediate_a call_n yet_o be_v affirm_v by_o st._n paul_n to_o have_v be_v ordain_v by_o god_n so_o that_o they_o who_o know_v nothing_o of_o god_n or_o of_o their_o own_o appointment_n be_v style_v the_o anoint_v of_o the_o lord_n which_o if_o any_o thing_n may_v seem_v to_o have_v be_v peculiar_a to_o the_o jewish_a prince_n for_o thus_o in_o particular_a isa_n 45.1_o we_o find_v god_n still_v cyrus_n his_o anoint_a though_o as_o the_o same_o god_n immediate_o after_o tell_v we_o he_o have_v then_o no_o knowledge_n of_o he_o i_o observe_v three_o which_o will_v bring_v we_o yet_o more_o near_o to_o the_o thing_n intend_v that_o though_o the_o power_n that_o now_o be_v have_v no_o such_o immediate_a appointment_n as_o the_o jewish_a prince_n have_v yet_o be_v there_o as_o good_a authority_n for_o the_o be_v of_o such_o power_n though_o there_o be_v no_o such_o designation_n of_o the_o person_n that_o be_v to_o be_v invest_v with_o it_o for_o it_o be_v the_o voice_n both_o of_o nature_n and_o scripture_n that_o god_n be_v not_o the_o author_n of_o confusion_n but_o of_o peace_n and_o order_n and_o it_o be_v no_o less_o evident_a from_o experience_n that_o peace_n and_o order_n can_v be_v either_o have_v or_o maintain_v without_o the_o institution_n of_o ruler_n it_o be_v necessary_o to_o be_v presume_v to_o be_v the_o will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o god_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v such_o ruler_n in_o every_o nation_n which_o say_v a_o way_n be_v open_v to_o the_o discovery_n of_o that_o appointment_n which_o we_o have_v say_v the_o power_n on_o earth_n to_o stand_v by_o for_o it_o be_v of_o divine_a appointment_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v ruler_n in_o every_o nation_n and_o god_n almighty_a have_v not_o by_o any_o immediate_a revelation_n signify_v his_o pleasure_n concern_v the_o person_n that_o be_v to_o be_v so_o it_o follow_v that_o to_o attain_v the_o knowledge_n of_o his_o will_n in_o this_o particular_a we_o be_v to_o have_v recourse_n to_o his_o providence_n which_o be_v the_o only_a way_n beside_o to_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o for_o though_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n be_v no_o rule_n against_o his_o reveal_v will_n because_o that_o be_v the_o proper_a measure_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a yet_o inasmuch_o as_o that_o also_o be_v a_o declaration_n of_o his_o will_n nothing_o hinder_v but_o it_o may_v have_v place_n where_o the_o other_o be_v not_o contradict_v and_o mark_v out_o the_o appointment_n of_o our_o great_a master_n to_o we_o but_o from_o hence_o it_o will_v follow_v first_o that_o those_o power_n be_v to_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o ordain_v by_o god_n which_o come_v to_o that_o power_n they_o have_v as_o without_o any_o fraud_n or_o violence_n so_o by_o the_o ordinary_a course_n of_o god_n providence_n for_o that_o authority_n to_o which_o they_o arrive_v be_v consign_v into_o their_o hand_n by_o his_o alone_a providence_n in_o who_o all_o authority_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v vest_v it_o be_v in_o reason_n to_o be_v presume_v to_o be_v appoint_v by_o himself_o and_o according_o to_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o such_o upon_o which_o account_n all_o those_o power_n must_v be_v look_v upon_o as_o ordain_v by_o god_n that_o either_o come_v to_o the_o

follow_v second_o that_o those_o also_o be_v to_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o ordain_v of_o god_n which_o however_o they_o do_v at_o first_o attain_v to_o their_o power_n by_o fraud_n or_o violence_n yet_o be_v confirm_v in_o it_o by_o the_o submission_n and_o acceptance_n of_o those_o in_o who_o the_o government_n former_o be_v and_o over_o who_o it_o be_v to_o be_v exercise_v for_o it_o be_v
