well_o let_v we_o look_v again_o on_o the_o two_o assertion_n which_o i_o reject_v in_o they_o 1._o governor_n who_o under_o pretence_n of_o authority_n from_o god_n ordinance_n disturb_v the_o

the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n do_v i_o defend_v any_o assertion_n equivalent_a to_o these_o rather_o i_o assert_v in_o that_o treatise_n and_o here_o also_o the_o contrary_n 1._o governor_n whither_o in_o absolute_a or_o limit_a state_n keep_v within_o the_o measure_n of_o their_o power_n may_v disturb_v the_o quiet_a and_o godly_a life_n and_o yet_o be_v god_n ordinance_n in_o that_o act_n though_o cross_v the_o end_n of_o god_n ordinance_n in_o it_o 2._o power_n though_o abuse_v yet_o be_v god_n ordinance_n they_o which_o resist_v even_o in_o abusive_a act_n of_o it_o resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n be_v here_o no_o difference_n can_v i_o retain_v this_o assertion_n that_o exceed_a act_n in_o limit_a monarchy_n be_v not_o god_n ordinance_n and_o may_v in_o instrument_n be_v resist_v and_o yet_o reject_v they_o who_o maintain_v resistance_n of_o governor_n themselves_o in_o all_o act_n of_o abuse_a power_n he_o make_v no_o difference_n between_o act_n exceed_v bound_n of_o power_n and_o act_n of_o abuse_a power_n but_o of_o this_o more_o than_o enough_o before_o 3._o but_o he_o will_v answer_v more_o particular_o so_o he_o have_v need_v what_o be_v it_o he_o that_o bear_v the_o sword_n that_o be_v have_v the_o supreme_a power_n give_v commission_n to_o under-minister_n for_o justice_n and_o to_o other_o officer_n for_o the_o militia_n if_o therefore_o the_o

minister_n abuse_v power_n commit_v to_o they_o not_o of_o excess_n of_o power_n i_o will_v retort_v it_o like_a as_o if_o when_o the_o supreme_a give_v commission_n of_o justice_n to_o a_o judge_n and_o he_o exceed_v unto_o act_n without_o the_o compass_n of_o his_o commission_n be_v but_o a_o private_a man_n in_o those_o act_n and_o may_v be_v resist_v so_o if_o commission_n of_o arm_n be_v
