that_o every_o magistrate_n act_v for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o good_a of_o his_o king_n ought_v for_o their_o sake_n to_o be_v reverent_o esteem_v and_o obey_v i_o may_v allege_v several_a testimony_n of_o scripture_n in_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o point_n as_o genesis_n the_o 41th_o and_o 40th_o where_o pharaoh_n say_v unto_o joseph_n thou_o shall_v be_v over_o my_o house_n and_o according_a to_o thy_o word_n shall_v all_o my_o people_n be_v rule_v and_o in_o the_o sixteenth_o chapter_n of_o exodus_fw-la verse_n the_o eight_o we_o read_v how_o the_o israelite_n in_o murmur_v against_o moses_n their_o chief_a prince_n and_z aaron_z their_o chief_a priest_n do_v more_o abundant_o murmur_v in_o their_o heart_n against_o god_n for_o say_v the_o text_n the_o lord_n hear_v your_o murmur_n which_o you_o murmur_v against_o he_o and_o what_o be_v we_o your_o murmur_n be_v not_o against_o we_o but_o against_o the_o lord_n also_o in_o the_o 17_o chapter_n of_o deuteronomy_n the_o 10_o 11_o and_o 12_o verse_n moses_n be_v the_o chief_a magistrate_n of_o the_o israelite_n speak_v unto_o they_o these_o word_n and_o thou_o shall_v do_v according_a to_o the_o sentence_n which_o they_o of_o that_o place_n which_o the_o lord_n shall_v choose_v shall_v show_v thou_o and_o thou_o shall_v observe_v to_o do_v according_a to_o all_o that_o they_o inform_v thou_o according_a to_o the_o sentence_n of_o the_o law_n which_o they_o shall_v teach_v thou_o and_o according_a to_o the_o judgement_n which_o they_o shall_v tell_v thou_o thou_o shall_v do_v thou_o shall_v not_o decline_v from_o the_o sentence_n which_o they_o shall_v show_v thou_o to_o the_o right_a hand_n nor_o to_o the_o left_a and_o the_o man_n that_o will_v do_v presumptuous_o and_o will_v not_o hearken_v unto_o the_o judge_n even_o that_o man_n shall_v die_v and_o thou_o shall_v put_v away_o the_o evil_a from_o israel_n the_o like_a testimony_n we_o find_v in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o joshua_n at_o the_o 16_o 17._o and_o 18_o verse_n where_o the_o hebrew_n speak_v thus_o to_o their_o champion_n joshua_n all_o that_o thou_o command_v we_o we_o will_v do_v and_o whithersoever_o thou_o send_v we_o we_o will_v go_v according_a as_o we_o hearken_v unto_o moses_n in_o all_o thing_n so_o will_v we_o hearken_v unto_o thou_o whosoever_o he_o be_v that_o do_v rebel_n against_o thy_o commandment_n and_o will_v not_o hearken_v unto_o thy_o word_n in_o all_o that_o thou_o command_v he_o he_o shall_v be_v put_v to_o death_n whatever_o precept_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n require_v our_o obedience_n to_o superior_a power_n we_o find_v such_o precept_n full_o confirm_v in_o the_o new_a as_o appear_v in_o the_o 22d_o chap._n of_o st._n matthew_n gospel_n at_o the_o 21_o verse_n where_o our_o saviour_n say_v unto_o simon_n peter_n render_v unto_o caesar_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v caesar_n and_o unto_o god_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v go_n to_o render_v god_n and_o caesar_n their_o due_n be_v the_o godly_a practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o therefore_o both_o st._n paul_n and_o st._n peter_n have_v leave_v we_o sufficient_a rule_n to_o imitate_v their_o religious_a and_o loyal_a conversation_n as_o it_o be_v apparent_a in_o the_o 13_o chap._n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n at_o the_o one_a and_o second_o verse_n where_o st._n paul_n say_v let_v every_o

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 st._n peter_n also_o have_v the_o like_a rule_n in_o his_o first_o epistle_n 2d_o chap._n at_o the_o 17_o verse_n where_o he_o say_v honour_v all_o man_n love_v the_o brotherhood_n fear_v god_n honour_v the_o king_n thus_o much_o shall_v suffice_v in_o reference_n to_o the_o first_o proposition_n from_o which_o i_o assert_v that_o it_o be_v the_o incumbent_a duty_n of_o every_o rational_a person_n to_o fear_n god_n and_o honour_v his_o king_n as_o be_v suitable_a with_o the_o first_o clause_n in_o my_o text_n where_o solomon_n say_v my_o son_n fear_v thou_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o king_n from_o whence_o i_o proceed_v to_o handle_v the_o 2d_o proposition_n namely_o to_o affirm_v that_o he_o who_o fear_v god_n aught_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n to_o honour_v his_o king_n as_o not_o to_o side_n with_o those_o that_o will_v alter_v or_o change_v his_o government_n as_o answerable_a to_o these_o word_n of_o the_o second_o clause_n in_o my_o first_o verse_n and_o meddle_v not_o with_o they_o that_o be_v give_v to_o change_v it_o be_v very_o remarkable_a that_o by_o the_o discord_n of_o the_o arian_n multitude_n of_o people_n fall_v away_o from_o christianity_n to_o gentilism_n and_o infidelity_n so_o likewise_o by_o our_o late_a animosity_n in_o this_o
