christian_n who_o know_v they_o have_v soul_n to_o save_v or_o lose_v for_o ever_o and_o therefore_o shall_v be_v the_o most_o scrupulous_a of_o any_o thing_n that_o may_v hazard_v and_o endanger_v they_o that_o yet_o they_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o allow_v themselves_o in_o so_o great_a a_o gild_n and_o study_v all_o they_o can_v for_o pretence_n to_o excuse_v and_o mitigate_v this_o sin_n rather_o than_o take_v warn_v and_o repent_v thereof_o notwithstanding_o so_o vast_a a_o punishment_n be_v threaten_v thereto_o to_o conclude_v this_o particular_a whatever_o we_o may_v dream_v of_o the_o original_a of_o the_o magistrate_n power_n yet_o our_o religion_n for_o certain_a teach_v we_o to_o acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v divine_a and_o to_o proceed_v from_o god_n it_o make_v subjection_n notwithstanding_o all_o evasion_n and_o pretence_n to_o the_o contrary_a to_o become_v our_o duty_n and_o that_o as_o well_o for_o conscience_n as_o wrath_n sake_n and_o do_v moreover_o caution_n we_o against_o resistance_n as_o a_o great_a and_o damn_v sin_n destructive_a to_o the_o soul_n as_o well_o as_o body_n of_o man_n and_o be_v so_o what_o be_v there_o in_o this_o world_n that_o be_v worth_a the_o hazard_v our_o soul_n for_o what_o kind_n of_o christian_n must_v they_o be_v that_o can_v swallow_v down_o a_o sin_n of_o this_o nature_n so_o glib_a and_o digest_v it_o so_o light_o and_o what_o kind_n of_o subject_n be_v they_o that_o shall_v go_v about_o to_o wrest_v the_o law_n as_o some_o have_v do_v the_o scripture_n in_o favour_n of_o this_o sin_n a_o sin_n so_o abominable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n 15.23_o 1._o sam._n 15.23_o that_o as_o samuel_n tell_v saul_n rebellion_n be_v as_o the_o sin_n of_o witchcraft_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n say_v a_o modern_a writer_n that_o the_o devil_n be_v so_o forward_o to_o tempt_v the_o jew_n to_o it_o of_o old_a and_o the_o christian_n of_o late_a wherefore_o my_o soul_n come_v not_o thou_o into_o their_o secret_n and_o unto_o their_o assembly_n be_v not_o thou_o unite_v gen._n 49.6_o §_o i_o come_v now_o to_o consider_v the_o chief_a objection_n that_o be_v usual_o make_v use_n of_o against_o this_o doctrine_n which_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o answer_v in_o the_o resolution_n of_o these_o three_o great_a inquiry_n 1._o whether_o subjection_n be_v due_a to_o bad_a governor_n as_o well_o as_o good_n 2._o whether_o it_o continue_v our_o duty_n when_o religion_n be_v in_o apparent_a hazard_n and_o danger_n and_o 3._o when_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n or_o which_o be_v all_o one_o when_o the_o civil_a right_n and_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_n be_v invade_v to_o all_o which_o i_o answer_v yes_o submission_n be_v our_o duty_n under_o all_o these_o circumstance_n §_o 1._o as_o to_o the_o first_o inquiry_n let_v our_o governor_n be_v never_o so_o bad_a actual_a obedience_n be_v due_a to_o all_o their_o lawful_a command_n and_o submission_n to_o those_o that_o be_v otherwise_o but_o in_o no_o case_n resistance_n to_o either_o for_o what_o the_o apostle_n advise_v servant_n towards_o their_o master_n hold_v equal_o true_a on_o the_o behalf_n of_o subject_n towards_o their_o governor_n where_o the_o obligation_n be_v much_o strong_a namely_o 2.18_o 1_o pet._n 2.18_o to_o be_v subject_a with_o all_o fear_n not_o only_o to_o the_o good_a and_o gentle_a but_o also_o to_o the_o froward_a which_o grotius_n and_o st._n augustine_n before_o he_o refer_v to_o prince_n and_o subject_n as_o well_o as_o to_o master_n and_o servant_n for_o as_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o master_n so_o the_o power_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o evil_a and_o froward_a as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o good_a and_o gentle_a be_v from_o god_n though_o the_o person_n may_v be_v wicked_a and_o ungodly_a yet_o his_o authority_n be_v sacred_a and_o divine_a and_o in_o that_o respect_n command_v our_o reverence_n as_o be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n for_o dominion_n be_v not_o found_v in_o grace_n neither_o do_v the_o temporal_a right_n of_o prince_n depend_v upon_o religion_n whether_o true_a or_o false_a the_o power_n of_o the_o magistrate_n be_v never_o the_o more_o from_o god_n because_o he_o be_v a_o good_a man_n and_o never_o the_o less_o from_o god_n because_o he_o be_v a_o bad_a man_n but_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o good_a and_o bad_a be_v alike_o in_o both_o and_o derive_v from_o one_o and_o the_o same_o original_a notwithstanding_o the_o abuse_v thereof_o when_o in_o ill_a hand_n to_o this_o purpose_n that_o of_o st._n augustine_n be_v very_o
