their_o power_n can_v be_v from_o god_n 1_o object_n for_o first_o they_o be_v his_o own_o word_n by_o his_o prophet_n hosea_n 8.4_o they_o have_v set_v up_o prince_n but_o not_o by_o i_o they_o have_v make_v prince_n but_o i_o know_v it_o not_o solu_fw-la it_o be_v true_a indeed_o god_n speak_v there_o of_o the_o rend_n of_o the_o kingdom_n from_o the_o son_n of_o solomon_n by_o jeroboam_n say_v that_o they_o have_v set_v up_o prince_n but_o not_o by_o he_o and_o yet_o himself_o tell_v jeroboam_n by_o his_o prophet_n ahijah_n behold_v i_o will_v rend_v the_o kingdom_n out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o solomon_n and_o will_v give_v the_o ten_o tribe_n to_o thou_o 1_o king_n 11.31_o in_o one_o place_n god_n say_v the_o people_n have_v do_v it_o in_o another_o himself_o have_v do_v it_o sure_o than_o the_o rend_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v from_o god_n as_o a_o just_a revenger_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o solomon_n the_o rebellion_n of_o the_o people_n without_o consult_v with_o he_o be_v not_o from_o he_o jeroboam_n power_n be_v from_o he_o though_o not_o the_o people_n rebellion_n and_o revolt_n still_o all_o authority_n find_v he_o for_o the_o author_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v call_v god_n 2_o object_n but_o second_o they_o can_v all_o be_v ordain_v of_o god_n and_o so_o be_v style_v god_n for_o that_o reason_n for_o then_o will_v all_o the_o worst_a and_o most_o tyrannical_a government_n claim_v god_n for_o their_o patron_n have_v he_o ordain_v tyrant_n and_o make_v they_o god_n on_o earth_n do_v he_o appoint_v nimrod_n and_o pharaoh_n do_v he_o set_v up_o the_o babylonian_a and_o persian_a tyrant_n do_v he_o authorise_v the_o mahumetane_a sultun_n and_o set_v up_o government_n that_o prove_v scourge_n to_o the_o son_n of_o man_n solu_fw-la to_o answer_n this_o we_o must_v first_o know_v that_o all_o tyranny_n be_v the_o corruption_n of_o government_n it_o be_v not_o that_o sound_n and_o lawful_a authority_n of_o which_o god_n be_v the_o author_n government_n and_o governor_n have_v all_o their_o degeneration_n and_o corruption_n as_o politic_a writer_n describe_v they_o and_o these_o be_v not_o from_o god_n but_o from_o the_o vice_n and_o wickedness_n of_o man_n permit_v by_o he_o for_o their_o punishment_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n which_o must_v be_v consider_v in_o all_o government_n in_o every_o ruler_n there_o be_v first_o ipsa_fw-la potestas_fw-la the_o power_n itself_o and_o this_o be_v by_o the_o will_n and_o ordinance_n of_o god_n in_o who_o hand_n soever_o it_o be_v for_o by_o he_o king_n reign_v and_o though_o in_o anger_n he_o give_v a_o king_n yet_o still_o he_o give_v he_o hosea_n 13.11_o second_o there_o be_v acquisitio_fw-la potestatis_fw-la the_o obtain_n of_o this_o power_n this_o may_v often_o be_v by_o usurpation_n by_o corrupt_a unlawful_a mean_n and_o of_o this_o god_n be_v not_o the_o author_n he_o may_v permit_v evil_a governor_n by_o forcible_a or_o unjust_a mean_n to_o get_v that_o power_n into_o their_o hand_n unlawful_o which_o himself_o have_v lawful_o constitute_v three_o there_o be_v executio_fw-la potestatis_fw-la the_o execution_n and_o use_n of_o that_o power_n which_o if_o it_o be_v abusive_a exceed_v the_o limit_n of_o justice_n can_v no_o way_n be_v ascribe_v to_o he_o but_o to_o the_o wickedness_n of_o man_n tyrannical_a oppression_n establishment_n of_o superstition_n and_o error_n by_o a_o lawful_a though_o a_o abuse_a power_n have_v no_o relation_n to_o god_n ordinance_n they_o find_v no_o support_n or_o authorization_n from_o he_o yet_o those_o who_o execute_v they_o still_o quoad_fw-la potestatem_fw-la in_o respect_n of_o their_o power_n be_v from_o he_o they_o be_v ordain_v by_o he_o and_o in_o that_o respect_n be_v call_v god_n in_o scripture_n we_o must_v yet_o add_v a_o four_o reason_n why_o magistrate_n be_v call_v god_n and_o that_o the_o best_a and_o most_o proper_a quia_fw-la deum_fw-la imitor_fw-la debent_fw-la because_o they_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v like_o god_n himself_o in_o their_o action_n and_o quality_n
