according_a to_o that_o prov._n 17.11_o a_o evil_a man_n seek_v rebellion_n therefore_o a_o cruel_a messenger_n shall_v be_v send_v unto_o he_o but_o that_o be_v most_o terrible_a that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v rom._n 13.3_o they_o that_o resist_v shall_v receive_v to_o themselves_o damnation_n not_o only_o temporal_a punishment_n but_o if_o they_o repent_v not_o eternal_a damnation_n god_n will_v maintain_v his_o own_o ordinance_n and_o punish_v the_o violator_n of_o it_o such_o do_v giantlike_a fight_v against_o god_n and_o therefore_o shall_v meet_v with_o destruction_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o reason_n there_o be_v to_o obey_v and_o be_v subject_a to_o ruler_n and_o magistrate_n iu._n but_o how_o and_o in_o what_o manner_n must_v we_o yield_v subjection_n and_o obedience_n to_o they_o i_o answer_v 1._o we_o must_v give_v it_o to_o all_o in_o authority_n good_a and_o bad_a as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o master_n 1_o pet._n 2.18_o servant_n must_v be_v subject_a not_o only_o to_o the_o good_a and_o gentle_a but_o also_o to_o the_o froward_a so_o must_v we_o be_v subject_a to_o all_o in_o authority_n that_o be_v our_o lawful_a ruler_n not_o usurper_n not_o only_o to_o the_o good_a but_o to_o the_o bad_a it_o be_v due_a to_o the_o office_n primary_o whoever_o bear_v it_o then_o to_o the_o person_n place_v in_o it_o by_o god_n the_o apostle_n in_o the_o text_n speak_v of_o principality_n and_o power_n in_o the_o abstract_n and_o when_o he_o require_v subjection_n to_o the_o high_a power_n rom._n 13._o it_o be_v at_o that_o time_n when_o caligula_n claudius_n or_o nero_n reign_v those_o monster_n of_o man_n and_o cruel_a persecutor_n yet_o say_v he_o let_v every_o soul_n be_v subject_a etc._n etc._n if_o god_n shall_v give_v we_o the_o worst_a magistrate_n we_o must_v not_o resist_v they_o but_o must_v reverence_v the_o power_n and_o be_v subject_a to_o they_o and_o this_o be_v thankworthy_a 1_o pet._n 2.16_o 2._o yet_o we_o must_v obey_v they_o only_o in_o the_o lord_n as_o we_o must_v look_v on_o they_o as_o set_v in_o the_o place_n of_o god_n so_o must_v we_o obey_v they_o only_o in_o all_o thing_n agreeable_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n if_o they_o command_v thing_n contrary_a to_o his_o will_n than_o we_o must_v rather_o obey_v god_n than_o man_n as_o the_o apostle_n teach_v act_v 5.29_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v because_o god_n be_v the_o universal_a and_o supreme_a sovereign_n if_o a_o inferior_a officer_n command_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o the_o will_n of_o the_o king_n and_o his_o law_n we_o must_v obey_v the_o will_n of_o the_o king_n before_o his_o so_o if_o a_o king_n contrary_a to_o god_n will_n command_v we_o any_o thing_n we_o be_v to_o obey_v he_o that_o be_v king_n of_o king_n in_o such_o a_o case_n the_o law_n of_o man_n be_v null_a ipso_fw-la facto_fw-la as_o st._n austin_n speak_v there_o can_v be_v no_o law_n of_o what_o be_v not_o just_a and_o bernard_n what_o man_n command_v if_o god_n forbid_v it_o it_o be_v repeal_v by_o the_o sovereign_a lord_n by_o who_o king_n reign_n thing_n material_o evil_a can_v be_v just_o command_v nor_o lawful_o do_v 3._o not_o for_o fear_n of_o wrath_n only_o but_o for_o conscience_n sake_n rom._n 13.5_o the_o fear_n of_o man_n may_v often_o restrain_v from_o resist_v especial_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n who_o threaten_v damnation_n but_o conscience_n to_o god_n command_n shall_v chief_o make_v we_o to_o obey_v magistrate_n in_o what_o they_o command_v according_a to_o law_n 1_o pet._n 2.13_o be_v subject_n say_v he_o to_o every_o ordinance_n of_o

duty_n to_o magistrate_n they_o be_v to_o do_v it_o willing_o and_o hearty_o as_o to_o the_o lord_n v._n but_o why_o shall_v minister_n put_v their_o people_n in_o mind_n to_o be_v thus_o subject_a to_o magistrate_n and_o obey_v they_o answ_n for_o these_o reason_n 1._o because_o every_o duty_n be_v to_o be_v press_v by_o they_o they_o be_v to_o make_v know_v to_o they_o the_o whole_a will_n of_o god_n even_o all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n of_o which_o this_o be_v one_o principal_a command_n a_o branch_n of_o the_o five_o commandment_n honour_v thy_o political_a father_n and_o

of_o it_o as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v judas_n 5._o they_o need_v to_o have_v their_o pure_a mind_n stir_v up_o by_o way_n of_o remembrance_n 2_o pet._n 3.1_o know_a duty_n must_v be_v whet_v on_o we_o again_o and_o again_o this_o be_v one_o great_a end_n of_o the_o ministry_n to_o stir_v up_o people_n to_o the_o practice_n of_o such_o duty_n as_o they_o know_v their_o mind_n be_v forgetful_a their_o affection_n dull_a and_o they_o be_v backward_o to_o the_o practice_n of_o many_o duty_n and_o therefore_o have_v need_n to_o have_v they_o often_o urge_v it_o be_v a_o foolish_a cavil_v some_o have_v against_o minister_n preach_v the_o same_o duty_n again_o sometime_o even_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n be_v promise_v by_o he_o john_n 14._o to_o bring_v to_o our_o remembrance_n

therefore_o say_v he_o put_v they_o in_o mind_n to_o be_v subject_n etc._n etc._n there_o be_v a_o spirit_n in_o man_n ready_a to_o turn_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n into_o wantonness_n under_o

people_n and_o need_v this_o admonition_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n bid_v put_v they_o in_o mind_n 3._o because_o there_o sometime_o may_v be_v strong_a temptation_n to_o this_o sin_n as_o when_o evil_a governor_n arise_v that_o rule_n with_o a_o high_a hand_n and_o oppress_v their_o subject_n and_o deal_v unjust_o with_o they_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n then_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o froward_a and_o cruel_a as_o we_o be_v to_o the_o gentle_a and_o kind_a to_o own_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n when_o in_o the_o hand_n or_o evil_a men._n this_o strong_o tempt_v a_o people_n to_o resist_v as_o the_o burden_n of_o rehoboam_n make_v the_o ten_o tribe_n to_o revolt_v though_o they_o get_v nothing_o by_o it_o for_o we_o read_v not_o of_o one_o good_a king_n in_o that_o
