A85884 The divine right and original of the civill magistrate from God, (as it is drawn by the Apostle S. Paul in those words, Rom. 13.1. There is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God) illustrated and vindicated in a treatise (chiefly) upon that text. Wherein the procedure of political dominion from God, by his ordination; ... is endevored truly and plainly to be laid open. / Written for the service of that eminent truth, order, justice, and peace which the said text, in its genuine sense, holdeth forth, and supporteth: and for the dissolving of sundry important doubts, and mistakes about it. By Edward Gee minister of the Gospel at Eccleston in the county palatine of Lancaster. Gee, Edward, 1613-1660. 1658 (1658) Wing G448; Thomason E1774_1; ESTC R202104 279,674 430

will_n of_o god_n unto_o the_o voice_n of_o providence_n be_v very_o obvious_a for_o before_o we_o can_v gather_v or_o draw_v inference_n from_o providence_n we_o must_v be_v able_a to_o understand_v
