praise_n of_o they_o that_o do_v well_o and_o saint_n paul_n in_o the_o 13_o to_o the_o roman_n be_v most_o full_a to_o this_o purpose_n 2._o verse_n 1._o verse_n 2._o let_v every_o soul_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o high_a power_n and_o whosoever_o resist_v the_o power_n resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o they_o that_o resist_v shall_v receive_v to_o themselves_o damnation_n and_o than_o conclude_v wherefore_o you_o must_v needs_o be_v subject_a not_o only_o for_o fear_v but_o also_o for_o conscience_n sake_n out_o of_o a_o sense_n that_o it_o be_v a_o duty_n which_o god_n exact_v at_o our_o hand_n and_o it_o be_v very_o observable_a that_o these_o precept_n be_v all_o give_v at_o a_o time_n when_o those_o power_n be_v roman_a emperor_n and_o cruel_a persecutor_n of_o christianity_n to_o show_v that_o no_o pretence_n of_o the_o wickedness_n of_o our_o ruler_n can_v exempt_v we_o from_o this_o duty_n nay_o in_o the_o case_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n and_o if_o ever_o resistance_n will_v be_v tolerate_v and_o indulge_v one_o may_v expect_v it_o in_o this_o and_o yet_o christ_n will_v not_o allow_v of_o it_o but_o sharp_o rebuke_v peter_n for_o draw_v out_o his_o sword_n and_o smite_v one_o of_o the_o inferior_a officer_n say_v they_o that_o take_v the_o sword_n shall_v perish_v by_o the_o sword_n and_o some_o learned_a man_n be_v of_o the_o opinion_n that_o the_o soldier_n which_o come_v to_o seize_v he_o have_v no_o warrant_n but_o be_v rather_o a_o rabble_n that_o break_v out_o with_o sword_n and_o staff_n of_o their_o own_o accord_n and_o motion_n and_o yet_o christ_n be_v so_o jealous_a of_o infringe_v the_o supreme_a authority_n that_o he_o will_v not_o notwithstanding_o suffer_v any_o opposition_n to_o be_v make_v by_o the_o holy_a institute_n and_o exemplar_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o his_o apostle_n we_o must_v all_o pay_v obedience_n unto_o our_o governor_n either_o active_a or_o passive_a active_a in_o the_o case_n of_o

be_v happy_o observe_v by_o some_o historian_n that_o how_o bloody_a soever_o nero_n be_v yet_o there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o blood_n spill_v in_o his_o fourteen_o year_n reign_n as_o there_o be_v within_o a_o few_o month_n after_o his_o death_n wherefore_o man_n have_v better_a patient_o submit_v their_o neck_n to_o the_o yoke_n than_o to_o rise_v up_o and_o rebel_v and_o so_o derive_v down_o
