be_v this_o all_o the_o submission_n the_o believer_n be_v to_o pay_v by_o the_o direction_n of_o our_o apostle_n when_o he_o require_v we_o to_o submit_v ourselves_o for_o i_o hope_v our_o will_n the_o appetitive_a part_n be_v not_o or_o shall_v not_o be_v all_o ourselves_o the_o intellective_a part_n our_o judgement_n our_o reason_n be_v the_o best_a part_n of_o ourselves_o and_o we_o have_v lose_v ourselves_o if_o we_o leave_v out_o that_o not_o only_o then_o our_o will_n and_o affection_n but_o our_o judgement_n and_o our_o reason_n be_v all_o to_o stoop_v to_o yield_v the_o subjection_n that_o be_v require_v to_o the_o constitution_n and_o rule_n of_o our_o governor_n so_o if_o the_o thing_n be_v of_o a_o middle_n and_o indifferent_a nature_n and_o then_o if_o the_o ruler_n enjoin_v the_o one_o side_n and_o thy_o judgement_n shall_v incline_v thou_o to_o the_o other_o thou_o be_v to_o lay_v aside_o thy_o own_o judgement_n and_o abide_v and_o sit_v down_o by_o the_o determination_n of_o thy_o ruler_n else_o with_o peter_n we_o will_v many_o time_n out_o of_o too_o much_o selfishness_n as_o savour_v of_o worldly_a wisdom_n and_o relish_v of_o thing_n of_o man_n across_o the_o best_a of_o the_o counsel_n and_o disposition_n of_o god_n and_o certain_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o necessary_a lesson_n that_o christ_n disciple_n ought_v first_o to_o learn_v not_o only_o for_o thing_n of_o faith_n but_o matter_n of_o peace_n to_o deny_v themselves_o to_o lay_v aside_o their_o own_o judgement_n or_o else_o they_o will_v hardly_o take_v up_o their_o cross_n and_o follow_v christ_n yea_o good_a it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v overwise_a in_o do_v our_o business_n but_o to_o think_v sober_o of_o ourselves_o in_o doubtful_a matter_n commit_v our_o case_n to_o god_n and_o trust_v his_o providence_n in_o order_v who_o know_v what_o be_v best_a for_o we_o and_o will_v keep_v we_o in_o his_o way_n for_o we_o be_v so_o shortsighted_a as_o we_o can_v discover_v whether_o this_o be_v worse_o than_o that_o in_o determination_n therefore_o of_o indifferent_a thing_n it_o will_v be_v safe_a in_o humility_n of_o mind_n to_o lay_v aside_o our_o own_o judgement_n and_o to_o abide_v by_o the_o constitution_n of_o our_o ruler_n and_o to_o submit_v to_o their_o ordinance_n as_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o almighty_a who_o judge_v among_o the_o god_n and_o have_v the_o ruler_n head_n and_o heart_n in_o his_o own_o hand_n so_o as_o their_o constitution_n be_v to_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o as_o to_o their_o master_n even_o so_o will_v our_o apostle_n have_v believer_n submit_v to_o governors_n command_n not_o only_o those_o that_o be_v good_a and_o please_a but_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o
