up_o arm_n for_o their_o own_o protection_n they_o do_v not_o resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n nor_o come_v within_o the_o reach_n of_o the_o apostle_n censure_n as_o those_o that_o for_o so_o do_v shall_v receive_v damnation_n here_o be_v one_o thing_n yet_o more_o that_o i_o have_v to_o say_v concern_v the_o unlimited_a prerogative_n and_o so_o i_o shall_v finish_v this_o discourse_n and_o that_o be_v what_o good_a can_v there_o come_v by_o ascribe_v such_o a_o power_n for_o every_o circumstance_n in_o point_n of_o government_n must_v have_v respect_n unto_o some_o good_a or_o other_o either_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n or_o for_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o people_n if_o so_o be_v that_o they_o conduce_v not_o to_o these_o end_n they_o be_v utter_o to_o be_v reject_v as_o sinful_a and_o obnoxious_a for_o god_n never_o give_v magistrate_n any_o such_o power_n as_o to_o be_v unlimitable_a in_o break_v his_o commandment_n or_o to_o become_v terrible_a and_o dreadful_a to_o their_o people_n but_o this_o he_o require_v that_o they_o especial_o who_o he_o and_o his_o people_n have_v trust_v with_o power_n and_o magistracy_n shall_v by_o their_o example_n honour_n god_n in_o a_o holy_a and_o godly_a conversation_n and_o be_v comfortable_a and_o profitable_a to_o their_o people_n through_o their_o pious_a peaceable_a and_o religious_a government_n but_o how_o or_o which_o way_n do_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o unlimited_a prerogative_n have_v or_o can_v have_v respect_n to_o any_o such_o end_n nay_o reason_n tell_v we_o the_o contrary_a and_o we_o have_v learn_v asmuch_o by_o the_o best_a of_o schoolmaster_n to_o wit_n experience_n and_o if_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n say_v true_a a_o great_a deal_n of_o evil_a and_o mischief_n may_v come_v by_o it_o but_o no_o good_a at_o all_o as_o ever_o i_o can_v read_v thus_o much_o we_o may_v perceive_v if_o we_o will_v look_v into_o that_o place_n in_o the_o 17._o deut._n 18._o where_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n speak_v concern_v the_o king_n when_o he_o shall_v come_v to_o sit_v upon_o the_o throne_n of_o his_o kingdom_n he_o shall_v write_v say_v he_o a_o copy_n of_o this_o law_n in_o a_o book_n out_o of_o that_o which_o be_v before_o the_o priest_n the_o levite_n and_o it_o shall_v be_v with_o he_o and_o he_o shall_v read_v therein_o all_o the_o day_n of_o his_o life_n that_o he_o may_v learn_v to_o fear_v the_o lord_n his_o god_n to_o keep_v all_o the_o word_n of_o this_o law_n and_o these_o statute_n to_o do_v they_o here_o we_o see_v the_o rule_n which_o god_n will_v have_v king_n apply_v themselves_o unto_o in_o govern_v of_o their_o people_n but_o here_o be_v no_o grant_n or_o charter_n that_o god_n at_o all_o have_v give_v they_o to_o rule_v they_o according_a to_o their_o will_n and_o pleasure_n and_o he_o bind_v they_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o his_o law_n and_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o these_o statute_n and_o commandment_n of_o god_n before_o speak_v of_o require_v passive_a as_o well_o as_o active_a obedience_n for_o what_o be_v here_o say_v unto_o king_n be_v oftentimes_o in_o this_o book_n and_o else_o where_o say_v unto_o the_o people_n and_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v none_o will_v say_v but_o that_o they_o be_v require_v thereby_o to_o obey_v in_o both_o kind_n why_o not_o king_n then_o as_o well_o as_o other_o for_o here_o be_v no_o exception_n nay_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n here_o give_v we_o a_o sufficient_a reason_n that_o they_o ought_v so_o to_o do_v in_o the_o word_n follow_v for_o so_o it_o be_v say_v lest_o his_o heart_n be_v lift_v up_o above_o his_o brethren_n he_o foresee_v what_o mischief_n will_v come_v of_o it_o if_o king_n shall_v have_v any_o such_o unlimited_a power_n allow_v they_o and_o indeed_o how_o can_v it_o otherwise_o be_v but_o they_o must_v needs_o exceed_o swell_v with_o pride_n when_o they_o shall_v be_v make_v like_o god_n subject_a to_o no_o law_n and_o what_o do_v they_o else_o that_o ascribe_v such_o a_o power_n unto_o they_o as_o that_o they_o be_v no_o way_n accountable_a or_o punishable_a for_o any_o action_n that_o they_o do_v be_v not_o this_o the_o very_a next_o way_n to_o cause_v they_o to_o despise_v and_o trample_v their_o people_n under_o their_o foot_n as_o if_o they_o be_v so_o exceed_o beneath_o they_o though_o in_o truth_n they_o be_v the_o same_o and_o equal_a with_o they_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o nature_n and_o be_v therefore_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n here_o call_v they_o their_o brother_n the_o difference_n only_o lie_v in_o their_o power_n and_o magistracy_n and_o to_o make_v they_o forget_v themselves_o and_o their_o humane_a condition_n as_o if_o they_o be_v a_o degree_n above_o man_n by_o exalt_v they_o above_o all_o law_n as_o if_o by_o virtue_n of_o their_o place_n and_o dignity_n their_o very_a nature_n be_v change_v into_o the_o divine_a beside_o this_o it_o be_v further_a worth_a the_o mark_v what_o other_o evil_a consequence_n will_v be_v ready_a to_o follow_v if_o such_o a_o power_n as_o be_v say_v before_o shall_v be_v ascribe_v therefore_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o next_o word_n that_o he_o turn_v not_o aside_o from_o the_o commandment_n to_o the_o right_a hand_n or_o to_o the_o left_a as_o who_o shall_v say_v to_o give_v king_n such_o a_o power_n as_o be_v unlimited_a and_o disresponsable_a it_o be_v the_o very_a next_o way_n to_o cause_v they_o to_o presume_v and_o take_v liberty_n to_o themselves_o how_o they_o listen_v and_o when_o they_o listen_v to_o break_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n and_o to_o cast_v his_o precept_n behind_o their_o back_n here_o we_o see_v now_o the_o evil_a that_o come_v by_o this_o prerogative_n i_o will_v any_o one_o can_v show_v i_o what_o that_o good_a be_v that_o do_v from_o it_o arise_v or_o where_o in_o all_o the_o scripture_n it_o be_v say_v that_o king_n shall_v not_o be_v accountable_a for_o what_o they_o do_v i_o persuade_v myself_o that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o task_n too_o hard_o for_o any_o man_n to_o undertake_v by_o this_o it_o appear_v what_o enemy_n they_o be_v to_o the_o commonwealth_n and_o what_o a_o deal_n of_o mischief_n they_o do_v that_o teach_v such_o doctrine_n as_o king_n unlimited_a power_n and_o how_o abominable_a they_o must_v needs_o be_v both_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o man_n that_o teach_v man_n to_o err_v from_o god_n commandment_n and_o to_o conclude_v all_o in_o a_o word_n i_o may_v here_o say_v to_o such_o as_o our_o saviour_n do_v math._n 5.19_o whosoever_o shall_v break_v one_o of_o the_o least_o of_o these_o commandment_n and_o shall_v teach_v man_n so_o to_o do_v shall_v be_v call_v the_o least_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o here_o also_o i_o may_v well_o remember_v they_o of_o the_o word_n of_o that_o prediction_n of_o the_o apostle_n 2_o thess_n 2.11_o which_o be_v true_o verify_v in_o these_o man_n god_n shall_v send_v they_o strong_a delusion_n that_o they_o may_v believe_v a_o lie_n that_o all_o they_o may_v be_v damn_v that_o believe_v not_o the_o truth_n but_o have_v pleasure_n in_o unrighteousness_n i_o do_v not_o much_o question_n but_o that_o this_o paper_n may_v light_v of_o those_o that_o will_v not_o spare_v to_o lay_v censure_n hard_a enough_o upon_o it_o and_o it_o be_v not_o unlikely_a but_o it_o may_v suffer_v under_o that_o terrible_a name_n of_o treason_n yet_o i_o say_v it_o will_v be_v well_o for_o they_o before_o they_o shoot_v their_o bolt_n to_o consider_v wise_o with_o themselves_o what_o they_o do_v least_o otherwise_o they_o prove_v to_o be_v such_o as_o fall_v foul_a upon_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n and_o so_o be_v find_v to_o be_v such_o as_o fight_v against_o he_o which_o if_o they_o do_v let_v themselves_o judge_v how_o it_o be_v like_a to_o be_v with_o they_o but_o let_v it_o be_v as_o it_o will_v yet_o the_o comfort_n be_v it_o be_v not_o the_o first_o time_n that_o truth_n have_v suffer_v under_o as_o bad_a a_o censure_n as_o this_o can_v be_v and_o let_v they_o that_o be_v enemy_n to_o this_o truth_n do_v what_o they_o can_v yet_o let_v i_o tell_v they_o that_o truth_n be_v strong_a and_o shall_v prevail_v and_o that_o howsoever_o it_o may_v be_v blame_v by_o those_o that_o hate_v it_o yet_o it_o shall_v never_o be_v ashamed_a and_o as_o all_o truth_n ought_v to_o be_v know_v so_o especial_o every_o truth_n in_o its_o chief_a time_n and_o season_n for_o as_o the_o wise_a man_n say_v pro._n 25.11_o a_o word_n speak_v in_o due_a season_n be_v like_a apple_n of_o
