make_v show_v of_o care_n to_o preserve_v the_o state_n but_o you_o be_v like_o the_o juy_n which_o seem_v outward_o both_o to_o embrace_v and_o adorn_v the_o wall_n whereinto_o inward_o it_o do_v

you_o yield_v what_o be_v your_o opinion_n what_o your_o exhortation_n but_o either_o to_o set_v or_o to_o hold_v up_o sedition_n and_o bloodshead_n saint_n paul_n teach_v we_o not_o to_o resist_v high_a power_n 13._o although_o both_o cruel_a and_o profane_a you_o teach_v we_o to_o resist_v they_o what_o we_o can_v the_o apostle_n be_v follow_v of_o all_o the_o ancient_a father_n of_o the_o church_n you_o be_v follow_v of_o those_o only_o who_o follow_v the_o anabaptist_n for_o my_o part_n i_o have_v rather_o err_v with_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o opposition_n then_o hold_v truth_n with_o you_o but_o i_o will_v speak_v more_o moderate_o in_o a_o subject_n of_o such_o nature_n i_o will_v not_o say_v they_o that_o i_o have_v rather_o err_v but_o that_o i_o shall_v less_o fear_v to_o err_v in_o not_o resist_v with_o the_o apostle_n they_o in_o resist_v with_o you_o new_a counsel_n be_v always_o more_o plausible_a than_o safe_a after_o you_o have_v play_v the_o suffenus_n with_o yourself_o in_o set_v the_o garland_n upon_o your_o own_o head_n and_o make_v your_o imaginary_a audience_n to_o applaud_v your_o opinion_n as_o worshipful_o wise_a you_o proceed_v to_o declare_v what_o ought_v chief_o ●o_o be_v regard_v in_o further_a or_o hinder_v any_o prince_n towards_o the_o crown_n three_o point_n you_o say_v be_v to_o be_v require_v in_o every_o prince_n religion_n chivalry_n and_o justice_n and_o put_v aside_o the_o two_o last_o as_o both_o handle_v by_o other_o and_o of_o least_o importance_n you_o assume_v only_o to_o treat_v of_o religion_n wherein_o either_o error_n or_o want_n do_v bring_v inestimable_a damage_n to_o any_o state_n you_o draw_v along_o discourse_n that_o the_o high_a end_n of_o every_o commonwealth_n be_v the_o service_n &_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o consequent_o that_o the_o care_n of_o religion_n be_v the_o principal_a charge_n which_o pertain_v to_o a_o king_n and_o therefore_o you_o conclude_v that_o whatsoever_o prince_n do_v not_o assist_v his_o subject_n to_o attain_v this_o end_n omit_v the_o chief_a part_n of_o his_o charge_n &_o commit_v high_a treason_n against_o his_o lord_n and_o be_v not_o fit_a to_o hold_v that_o dignity_n though_o he_o perform_v the_o other_o two_o part_n never_o so_o well_o and_o that_o no_o cause_n can_v to_o just_o clear_v the_o conscience_n whether_o of_o the_o people_n or_o of_o particular_a man_n in_o resist_v the_o entrance_n of_o any_o prince_n as_o if_o they_o judge_v he_o faulty_a in_o religion_n this_o be_v neither_o nothing_o nor_o all_o which_o you_o say_v in_o elective_a state_n the_o people_n ought_v not_o to_o admit_v any_o man_n for_o king_n who_o be_v either_o cold_a or_o corrupt_a in_o religion_n but_o if_o they_o have_v admit_v such_o a_o one_o with_o sovereign_a authority_n they_o have_v no_o power_n at_o pleasure_n to_o remove_v he_o in_o successive_a kingdom_n wherein_o the_o people_n have_v no_o right_n of_o election_n it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o private_a man_n upon_o this_o cause_n to_o offer_v to_o impeach_v either_o the_o entrance_n or_o continuance_n of_o that_o king_n which_o the_o law_n of_o the_o state_n do_v present_a unto_o they_o not_o only_o because_o it_o be_v forbid_v of_o god_n for_o that_o be_v the_o least_o part_n of_o your_o regard_n but_o because_o disorderly_a disturbance_n of_o a_o settle_a form_n in_o government_n train_v after_o it_o more_o both_o impiety_n and_o danger_n then_o have_v ever_o ensue_v the_o imperfection_n of_o a_o king_n i_o will_v come_v more_o close_o to_o the_o point_n in_o controversy_n and_o dispel_v these_o foggy_a reason_n which_o stand_v between_o your_o eye_n and_o the_o truth_n there_o be_v two_o principal_a part_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n the_o one_o moral_a or_o natural_a which_o contain_v three_o point_n sobriety_n in_o ourselves_o justice_n towards_o other_o and_o general_o also_o reverence_n and_o piety_n towards_o god_n the_o other_o be_v supernatural_a which_o contain_v the_o true_a faith_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o the_o special_a kind_n of_o worship_n that_o god_n do_v require_v the_o first_o god_n have_v deliver_v by_o the_o ministry_n of_o nature_n to_o all_o man_n the_o second_o he_o do_v partly_o reveal_v &_o partly_o inspire_v to_o who_o he_o please_v and_o therefore_o although_o most_o nation_n have_v in_o some_o sort_n observe_v the_o one_o yet_o have_v they_o not_o only_o err_v but_o fail_v in_o the_o other_o during_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n this_o peculiar_a worship_n of_o god_n be_v appropriate_v only_o to_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n in_o a_o corner_n kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n the_o flourish_a empire_n of_o the_o assyrian_n mede_n persian_n egyptian_n grecian_n syrian_n and_o roman_n either_o know_v it_o not_o or_o hold_v it_o in_o contempt_n the_o israelite_n be_v almost_o always_o in_o subjection_n under_o these_o both_o heathen_a &_o tyrannical_a government_n &_o yet_o god_n by_o his_o prophet_n enjoin_v they_o obedience_n affirm_v that_o the_o heart_n of_o king_n be_v in_o his_o hand_n &_o that_o they_o be_v the_o

when_o he_o do_v draw_v his_o sword_n and_o therewith_o also_o draw_v blood_n in_o defence_n of_o christ_n he_o hear_v this_o sentence_n 26.52_o they_o that_o take_v the_o sword_n shall_v perish_v with_o the_o sword_n christ_n arm_v his_o apostle_n only_o with_o fiery_a tongue_n 2.3_o by_o force_n whereof_o they_o maintain_v the_o field_n against_o all_o the_o stratagem_n and_o strength_n in_o the_o world_n and_o when_o prince_n do_v not_o only_o reject_v but_o persecute_v their_o doctrine_n they_o teach_v their_o subject_n obedience_n unto_o they_o 2._o they_o do_v both_o encounter_n and_o

of_o king_n not_o only_o careless_a thereof_o but_o cruel_a against_o it_o but_o when_o we_o consider_v that_o the_o jew_n do_v common_o forsake_v god_n in_o prosperity_n and_o seek_v he_o in_o
