not_o countenance_v their_o rebellion_n against_o caesar_n though_o it_o be_v to_o make_v himself_o asleep_o king_n it_o be_v sufficient_o know_v that_o christ_n submit_v to_o the_o most_o unjust_a

and_o constraint_n because_o he_o want_v power_n to_o resist_v but_o it_o be_v matter_n of_o choice_n that_o which_o be_v most_o agreeable_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o his_o kingdom_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v propagate_v by_o carnal_a weapon_n but_o by_o suffer_v and_o death_n and_o when_o our_o saviour_n have_v set_v we_o such_o a_o example_n as_o this_o it_o be_v wonderful_a to_o i_o that_o any_o who_o call_v themselves_o his_o disciple_n can_v think_v it_o lawful_a to_o rebel_v against_o their_o prince_n and_o defend_v themselves_o from_o the_o most_o unjust_a violence_n by_o a_o more_o

brief_o consider_v 1._o that_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o christ_n suffer_v patient_o and_o quiet_o without_o resist_v the_o most_o unjust_a violence_n because_o he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o die_v and_o to_o make_v his_o soul_n a_o offer_n for_o sin_n and_o how_o can_v so_o innocent_a a_o person_n die_v but_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o unjust_a and_o tyrannical_a power_n and_o it_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o his_o design_n of_o die_v for_o sin_n to_o resist_v and_o oppose_v this_o be_v the_o account_n our_o saviour_n himself_o give_v of_o his_o patient_a suffering_n when_o st._n peter_n draw_v his_o sword_n in_o his_o defence_n he_o tell_v he_o think_v thou_o that_o i_o can_v now_o pray_v to_o my_o father_n and_o he_o sha●l_v present_o give_v i_o more_o than_o twelve_o legion_n of_o angel_n but_o how_o then_o sh●ll_v the_o scripture_n be_v fulfil_v that_o thus_o it_o must_v be_v mat._n 26.43_o 54._o and_o the_o cup_n which_o my_o father_n have_v give_v i_o shall_v i_o not_o drink_v it_o john_n 18.11_o have_v thus_o conclude_v what_o the_o doctrine_n and_o example_n of_o o●r_n saviour_n be_v about_o subjection_n to_o the_o high_a power_n let_v we_o now_o consider_v the_o doctrine_n and_o example_n of_o h●s_n apostle_n st._n paul_n not_o as_o if_o the_o authority_n and_o example_n of_o our_o saviour_n be_v not_o sufficient_a of_o itself_o to_o make_v a_o law_n but_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o the_o confirmation_n and_o additional_a authority_n of_o his_o own_o apostle_n but_o we_o may_v just_o suspect_v ourselves_o mistake_v in_o the_o mean_v of_o our_o saviour_n word_n or_o in_o the_o intention_n and_o design_n of_o his_o suffering_n have_v none_o of_o his_o apostle_n who_o be_v immediate_o instruct_v by_o himself_o and_o acquaint_v with_o the_o most_o secret_a mystery_n of_o this_o kingdom_n ever_o preach_v any_o such_o doctrine_n as_o this_o of_o subjection_n to_o prince_n and_o therefore_o to_o give_v you_o the_o more_o abundant_a assurance_n of_o this_o i_o shall_v plain_o show_v you_o that_o the_o apostle_n teach_v the_o same_o doctrine_n and_o imitate_v the_o example_n of_o their_o master_n st._n paul_n have_v as_o full_o declare_v himself_o in_o this_o matter_n as_o it_o be_v possible_a any_o man_n can_v do_v by_o word_n rom._n 13.1_o 2._o let_v every_o soul_n be_v subject_a unto_o the_o high_a power_n for_o there_o be_v no_o power_n but_o of_o god_n the_o power_n that_o be_v be_v ordain_v of_o god_n whosoever_o therefore_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 this_o be_v a_o very_a express_a testimony_n against_o resistance_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v consider_v it_o at_o large_a for_o there_o have_v be_v various_a art_n use_v to_o pervert_v every_o word_n of_o it_o and_o to_o make_v this_o text_n speak_v quite_o contrary_a to_o the_o design_n and_o intention_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o it_o and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v divide_v the_o word_n into_o three_o general_a part_n 1._o the_o doctrine_n the_o apostle_n instruct_v they_o in_o le●_n every_o soul_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o high_a power_n 2._o the_o reason_n why_o he_o prove_v and_o force_v this_o doctrine_n for_o there_o be_v no_o power_n but_o of_o god_n the_o power_n that_o be_v be_v ordain_v of_o god_n whosoever_o therefore_o resist_v the_o power_n resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n 3._o the_o punishment_n of_o such_o resistance_n and_o they_o that_o resist_v shall_v receive_v to_o themselves_o damnation_n 1._o i_o shall_v begin_v with_o the_o doctrine_n that_o every_o soul_n must_v be_v subject_a to_o the_o high_a power_n and_o here_o be_v three_o thing_n to_o be_v explain_v 1._o who_o be_v contain_v under_o this_o general_a expression_n of_o every_o soul._n 2._o who_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o high_a power_n 3._o what_o be_v mean_v by_o be_v subject_n 1._o who_o be_v contain_v under_o this_o general_a expression_n of_o ●u●ry_a soul_n which_o by_o a_o ordinary_a hebraism_n signify_v every_o man_n for_o m●n_z be_v a_o compound_a creature_n of_o body_n and_o soul_n and_o either_o part_n of_o he_o be_v very_o often_o in_o scripture_n put_v for_o the_o whole_a sometimes_o flesh_n and_o sometime_o soul_n signify_v the_o man_n and_o when_o every_o soul_n be_v oppose_v to_o the_o high_a power_n it_o must_v signify_v all_o man_n of_o what_o rank_n or_o condition_n soever_o they_o be_v who_o be_v not_o invest_v with_o this_o high_a power_n pope_n and_o bishop_n and_o bishop_n and_o priest_n as_o well_o spiritual_a as_o secular_a person_n the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o people_n as_o well_o as_o every_o single_a individual_a for_o when_o every_o soul_n be_v command_v to_o be_v subject_n without_o any_o exception_n or_o limitation_n this_o must_v reach_v they_o in_o all_o capacity_n and_o condition_n the_o design_n of_o the_o apostle_n as_o you_o shall_v hear_v more_o present_o be_v to_o forbid_v all_o resistance_n of_o sovereign_a prince_n and_o have_v he_o know_v of_o any_o man_n who_o may_v lawful_o resi_v he_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v express_v it_o in_o such_o general_a term_n as_o to_o forbid_v all_o without_o exception_n have_v st._n paul_n know_v the_o prerogative_n of_o st._n peter_n and_o his_o successor_n the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n will_v he_o have_v write_v to_o the_o christians_n of_o rome_n to_o be_v subject_a to_o their_o emperor_n without_o make_v any_o provision_n for_o the_o great_a authority_n of_o their_o bishop_n the_o reason_n he_o assign_v why_o every_o soul_n must_v be_v subject_a to_o the_o high_a power_n be_v because_o all_o power_n be_v of_o god_n so_o that_o whosoever_o be_v bind_v to_o be_v subject_a to_o god_n must_v be_v subject_a to_o their_o prince_n who_o be_v in_o god_n stead_n and_o this_o i_o think_v will_v reach_v the_o pope_n of_o rome_n as_o well_o as_o any_o private_a christian_a unless_o he_o will_v pretend_v to_o have_v more_o authority_n on_o earth_n than_o god_n himself_o have_v for_o the_o prince_n have_v god_n authority_n and_o therefore_o can_v be_v resist_v but_o by_o a_o great_a authority_n than_o god_n and_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n if_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o people_n be_v subject_a to_o god_n

they_o must_v be_v subject_a to_o their_o prince_n too_o because_o he_o act_n by_o god_n authority_n and_o commission_n be_v a_o sovereign_a prince_n the_o people_n creature_n that_o may_v be_v a_o good_a maxim_n rex_fw-la major_a singulis_fw-la sed_fw-la minor_fw-la universis_fw-la that_o the_o king_n be_v great_a than_o any_o particular_a subject_n but_o less_o than_o all_o together_o but_o if_o he_o be_v god_n minister_n he_o be_v upon_o that_o account_n as_o much_o great_a than_o all_o as_o god_n be_v and_o that_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o people_n all_o together_o as_o well_o as_o one_o by_o one_o be_v equal_o concern_v in_o this_o command_n of_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o high_a power_n be_v evident_a from_o this_o consideration_n that_o nothing_o less_o than_o this_o will_v secure_v the_o peace_n and_o tranquillity_n of_o human_a society_n the_o resistance_n of_o single_a person_n be_v more_o dangerous_a to_o themselves_o than_o to_o the_o prince_n but_o a_o powerful_a combination_n of_o rebel_n be_v formidable_a to_o the_o most_o puissant_a monarch_n the_o great_a number_n of_o subject_n rebel_v against_o their_o prince_n the_o more_o too_o they_o distress_n his_o government_n and_o threaten_v his_o crown_n and_o dignity_n and_o his_o person_n and_o authority_n be_v sacred_a the_o great_a the_o violence_n be_v which_o be_v offer_v to_o he_o the_o great_a be_v his_o crime_n have_v the_o apostle_n exhort_v the_o roman_n after_o this_o manner_n let_v no_o private_a and_o single_a man_n be_v so_o foolish_a as_o to_o rebel_v against_o his_o prince_n who_o will_v be_v too_o strong_a for_o he_o but_o if_o you_o can_v raise_v sufficient_a force_n to_o oppose_v against_o he_o if_o you_o can_v all_o consent_n to_o depose_v or_o murder_v he_o this_o be_v very_o innocent_a and_o justifiable_a nay_o a_o heroical_a achievement_n which_o become_v a_o free_a bear_v people_n how_o will_v this_o secure_v the_o peace_n and_o quiet_a of_o the_o

and_o that_o such_o man_n shall_v be_v severe_o punish_v for_o it_o in_o this_o world_n or_o the_o next_o for_o can_v the_o apostle_n be_v think_v absolute_o to_o condemn_v resistance_n if_o he_o make_v it_o only_o unlawful_a to_o resist_v wh●n_o we_o want_v power_n to_o conquer_v which_o yet_o be_v all_o that_o can_v be_v make_v of_o it_o if_o by_o every_o soul_n the_o apostle_n mean_v only_o particular_a man_n not_o the_o unite_a force_n and_o power_n of_o the_o subject_n nor_o can_v there_o be_v any_o reason_n assign_v why_o the_o apostle_n shall_v lay_v so_o strict_a a_o command_n on_o particular_a christian_n to_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o high_a power_n which_o do_v not_o equal_o concern_v whole_a ●_z for_o if_o it_o can_v ever_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o whole_a nation_n to_o

invade_v their_o right_n their_o liberty_n or_o their_o religion_n why_o may_v not_o any_o man_n by_o the_o same_o reason_n resist_v a_o prince_n when_o his_o right_n and_o liberty_n be_v invade_v it_o be_v not_o so_o safe_a and_o prudent_a indeed_o for_o a_o private_a man_n to_o resist_v as_o for_o great_a and_o powerful_a number_n but_o this_o make_v resistance_n only_o a_o matter_n of_o discretion_n not_o of_o conscience_n if_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o th●_n whole_a body_n of_o a_o nation_n to_o resist_v in_o such_o case_n it_o must_v be_v equal_o lawful_a for_o a_o particular_a man_n to_o do_v it_o but_o he_o do_v it_o at_o his_o own_o peril_n when_o he_o have_v only_o his_o one_o single_a force_n to_o oppose_v against_o his_o prince_n so_o that_o our_o apostle_n must_v

the_o authority_n of_o prince_n and_o the_o security_n of_o public_a government_n be_v only_o endanger_v by_o a_o combination_n of_o rebel_n when_o the_o whole_a nation_n or_o any_o considerable_a

the_o great_a and_o the_o more_o formidable_a the_o resistance_n be_v and_o it_o will_v very_o much_o unbecome_v the_o gravity_n and_o sacredness_n of_o a_o apostolical_a precept_n to_o enjoin_v
