preacher_n suffer_v in_o king_n james_n his_o time_n all_o that_o he_o lay_v upon_o they_o and_o that_o with_o patience_n enough_o and_o since_o his_o descrtion_n they_o have_v have_v no_o

if_o then_o man_n will_v have_v we_o to_o say_v that_o power_n come_v from_o god_n and_o only_o from_o god_n we_o may_v well_o allow_v it_o because_o we_o know_v that_o nature_n and_o a_o inclination_n to_o sociable_a live_n and_o order_n come_v from_o god_n and_o only_o from_o he_o all_o these_o be_v good_a and_o god_n be_v the_o giver_n of_o all_o good_a thing_n and_o beside_o we_o find_v so_o much_o of_o goodness_n both_o for_o king_n and_o people_n in_o this_o national_a constitution_n that_o we_o may_v well_o think_v that_o god_n himself_o by_o his_o providence_n do_v influence_n our_o forefather_n to_o agree_v and_o fix_v upon_o it_o but_o now_o if_o man_n from_o this_o speculative_a notion_n of_o power_n descend_v down_o from_o god_n will_v draw_v and_o force_v out_o consequence_n and_o by_o virtue_n of_o they_o will_v set_v up_o and_o pull_v down_o at_o pleasure_n make_v new_a frames_n of_o government_n and_o scheme_n of_o policy_n if_o they_o will_v say_v that_o this_o excellent_a disposition_n of_o affair_n must_v be_v throw_v down_o and_o the_o english_a law_n be_v lay_v aside_o and_o right_a and_o wrong_n become_v mutable_a at_o pleasure_n if_o they_o will_v say_v that_o king_n of_o england_n must_v be_v absolute_a and_o obey_v without_o reserve_n and_o all_o this_o only_o for_o this_o reason_n because_o their_o power_n come_v from_o god_n i_o hope_v that_o they_o will_v expect_v that_o we_o shall_v beg_v their_o pardon_n they_o may_v think_v that_o we_o judge_v their_o logic_n deceive_v they_o and_o that_o they_o leave_v their_o aristotle_n too_o soon_o a_o philosopher_n once_o undertake_v to_o demonstrate_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a there_o shall_v be_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o motion_n and_o he_o talk_v pretty_o upon_o

that_o there_o be_v a_o vast_a distance_n between_o their_o principle_n and_o their_o consequence_n it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o because_o god_n give_v power_n therefore_o king_n must_v be_v free_a to_o do_v what_o they_o please_v or_o that_o they_o can_v be_v restrain_v by_o national_a constitution_n to_o exert_v their_o power_n in_o particular_a way_n and_o method_n for_o who_o know_v but_o the_o limitation_n and_o restriction_n of_o power_n may_v come_v from_o god_n too_o for_o there_o be_v no_o more_o miraculous_a attestation_n to_o the_o divine_a origine_fw-la and_o descent_n of_o the_o one_o than_o there_o be_v of_o the_o other_o and_o it_o will_v be_v agreeable_a to_o god_n goodness_n to_o do_v it_o because_o power_n be_v in_o itself_o a_o very_a flexible_a thing_n that_o may_v be_v bend_v and_o bow_v this_o way_n or_o the_o quite_o contrary_a it_o be_v like_a unto_o nature_n which_o as_o it_o come_v from_o god_n be_v very_o good_a but_o as_o the_o man_n who_o have_v that_o nature_n and_o be_v therewith_o make_v upright_o seek_v out_o many_o invention_n so_o the_o king_n who_o have_v from_o god_n the_o power_n may_v do_v the_o same_o the_o man_n think_v many_o of_o his_o own_o invention_n to_o be_v his_o nature_n and_o to_o come_v from_o god_n and_o a_o king_n may_v think_v many_o of_o he_o to_o be_v his_o power_n and_o to_o come_v from_o god_n therefore_o as_o god_n give_v new_a law_n to_o limit_v and_o bind_v in_o the_o man_n and_o his_o nature_n so_o he_o may_v and_o it_o be_v agreeable_a enough_o to_o his_o goodness_n if_o he_o shall_v in_o the_o course_n of_o his_o providence_n direct_a and_o order_v affair_n so_o that_o there_o may_v be_v limitation_n and_o restriction_n give_v to_o the_o king_n and_o his_o power_n but_o beside_o according_a to_o the_o usual_a course_n of_o thing_n god_n general_o give_v bound_n to_o power_n according_a to_o which_o it_o shall_v or_o shall_v not_o operate_v and_o therefore_o as_o he_o make_v one_o power_n so_o he_o make_v another_o answerable_a to_o it_o as_o he_o make_v the_o agent_n so_o he_o make_v the_o patient_n as_o he_o make_v fire_n so_o he_o make_v combustible_a matter_n to_o receive_v it_o and_o to_o feed_v it_o or_o else_o the_o fire_n will_v soon_o go_v out_o god_n give_v to_o man_n power_n over_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n but_o if_o a_o man_n will_v command_v any_o one_o of_o

either_o the_o horse_n or_o the_o dog_n but_o the_o indiscreet_a master_n god_n give_v to_o king_n power_n over_o man_n their_o subject_n but_o if_o a_o king_n will_v treat_v his_o subject_n just_a
