xxxiv_o human_a obligation_n when_o they_o be_v just_a become_v the_o duty_n of_o religion_n because_o christian_a religion_n have_v for_o its_o rule_n the_o supreme_a justice_n and_o consist_v in_o a_o exact_a follow_v the_o same_o for_o which_o reason_n the_o apostle_n command_v christian_n to_o pray_v for_o king_n and_o those_o who_o govern_v under_o they_o the_o temporal_a state_n and_o these_o prayer_n be_v due_a unto_o they_o be_v it_o only_o for_o the_o charge_n they_o have_v of_o preserve_v the_o public_a peace_n and_o tranquillity_n therefore_o it_o be_v certain_o a_o great_a fault_n and_o negligence_n not_o to_o offer_v up_o our_o prayer_n for_o king_n and_o we_o do_v hereby_o render_v ourselves_o unworthy_a of_o those_o good_n which_o god_n bestow_v on_o man_n by_o

and_o yet_o these_o benefit_n be_v infinite_o more_o considerable_a than_o those_o disorder_n true_a or_o false_a which_o be_v the_o continual_a subject_n of_o their_o complaint_n and_o murmuration_n

a_o participation_n of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o man_n which_o he_o communicate_v to_o some_o for_o the_o good_a of_o other_o that_o it_o be_v a_o ministry_n or_o office_n wherewith_o he_o entru_v they_o in_o so_o much_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o real_a or_o more_o just_a than_o the_o authority_n and_o power_n of_o god_n so_o there_o can_v be_v nothing_o more_o real_a or_o more_o just_a than_o greatness_n in_o those_o to_o who_o he_o true_o impart_v the_o same_o and_o who_o be_v not_o usurper_n fourteen_o it_o may_v easy_o be_v comprehend_v by_o this_o doctrine_n that_o although_o monarchy_n and_o the_o other_o form_n of_o government_n may_v proceed_v original_o from_o the_o choice_n and_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n yet_o the_o authority_n of_o monarch_n be_v not_o derive_v from_o the_o people_n but_o from_o god_n alone_o he_o indeed_o have_v give_v the_o people_n power_n to_o choose_v their_o government_n but_o as_o the_o election_n of_o those_o who_o choose_v the_o bishop_n be_v not_o that_o which_o render_v he_o a_o bishop_n but_o only_o the_o pastoral_n authority_n of_o jesus_n christ_n impart_v to_o he_o in_o his_o consecration_n so_o likewise_o the_o sole_a consent_n of_o the_o people_n make_v not_o king_n but_o the_o communication_n of_o god_n royalty_n and_o power_n by_o which_o they_o become_v lawful_a and_o receive_v a_o real_a and_o solid_a right_n over_o their_o subject_n and_o it_o be_v for_o this_o reason_n that_o the_o apostle_n call_v not_o prince_n the_o minister_n of_o the_o people_n but_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n because_o they_o hold_v their_o power_n from_o none_o but_o god_n xv._o from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v may_v be_v draw_v a_o consequence_n most_o advantageous_a for_o successive_a monarchy_n which_o be_v that_o although_o this_o form_n of_o government_n may_v original_o depend_v on_o the_o people_n through_o the_o choice_n they_o make_v of_o a_o certain_a family_n and_o the_o order_n they_o appoint_v for_o the_o succession_n nevertheless_o this_o order_n be_v once_o settle_v it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o people_n power_n to_o change_v the_o same_o because_o the_o authority_n of_o make_v such_o constitution_n do_v not_o reside_v any_o long_o in_o the_o people_n who_o have_v deprive_v themselves_o thereof_o and_o have_v good_a reason_n so_o to_o do_v there_o be_v nothing_o more_o profitable_a for_o they_o but_o it_o reside_v now_o in_o the_o king_n to_o who_o god_n communicate_v his_o power_n for_o the_o government_n of_o the_o people_n wherefore_o as_o in_o successive_a monarchy_n the_o king_n can_v never_o die_v nor_o the_o people_n ever_o be_v without_o a_o king_n so_o for_o this_o cause_n can_v they_o never_o be_v in_o a_o condition_n of_o make_v any_o n●w_a law_n towards_o the_o change_a the_o order_n of_o the_o succession_n nor_o have_v any_o just_a authority_n for_o the_o same_o in_o regard_n that_o this_o authority_n reside_v always_o in_o the_o king_n be_v impart_v to_o he_o by_o god_n according_a to_o that_o constitution_n and_o order_n whereunto_o the_o people_n do_v voluntary_o subject_v themselves_o xvi_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v likewise_o clear_a that_o it_o can_v be_v never_o lawful_a for_o any_o one_o to_o rise_v or_o take_v arm_n against_o his_o sovereign_n and_o engage_v in_o a_o civil_a war._n since_o war_n can_v be_v

in_o a_o monarchical_a state_n this_o right_n over_o the_o live_v of_o man_n appertain_v not_o to_o any_o but_o to_o the_o king_n alone_o and_o those_o who_o exercise_v the_o same_o by_o his_o authority_n so_o that_o rebel_n be_v destitute_a of_o this_o right_n commit_v as_o many_o homicide_n as_o they_o slay_v man_n in_o a_o civil_a war_n because_o they_o take_v away_o their_o life_n without_o a_o competent_a authority_n and_o against_o the_o order_n and_o appointment_n of_o god_n it_o be_v in_o vain_a also_o that_o they_o allege_v for_o their_o justification_n the_o disorder_n of_o the_o state_n whereunto_o they_o pretend_v to_o bring_v a_o remedy_n in_o regard_n that_o no_o disorder_n can_v give_v subject_n a_o liberty_n to_o draw_v the_o sword_n neither_o can_v they_o have_v any_o authority_n to_o make_v use_n thereof_o but_o by_o his_o alone_a who_o have_v receive_v it_o from_o god_n xvii_o this_o regal_a power_n and_o right_n of_o govern_v people_n which_o

king_n but_o pass_v also_o and_o extend_v itself_o to_o their_o minister_n and_o all_o those_o who_o be_v employ_v under_o they_o for_o the_o exercise_n of_o their_o government_n &_o preservation_n of_o order_n in_o such_o manner_n as_o it_o comprise_v all_o that_o authority_n which_o actuate_v and_o regulate_v the_o whole_a state_n and_o be_v various_o distribute_v according_a to_o the_o

but_o this_o rank_n itself_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o authority_n and_o proceed_v likewise_o from_o the_o order_n of_o god_n because_o humane_a affair_n not_o be_v able_a to_o subsist_v without_o due_a

form_n of_o government_n consist_v essential_o in_o the_o election_n of_o a_o certain_a family_n the_o people_n choose_v such_o as_o shall_v be_v of_o it_o for_o their_o sovereign_n according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o their_o birth_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o all_o those_o of_o that_o family_n have_v right_a to_o the_o regal_a power_n and_o may_v hereafter_o happen_v to_o arrive_v thereat_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o the_o people_n shall_v be_v accustom_v before_o hand_n to_o look_v on_o they_o with_o great_a respect_n than_o the_o rest_n for_o as_o much_o as_o
