long_o as_o there_o be_v man_n but_o bad_a man_n be_v not_o always_o and_o we_o be_v general_o compensated_a for_o they_o with_o a_o succession_n of_o good_a but_o have_v god_n leave_v we_o at_o

one_o tyrant_n we_o shall_v every_o one_o turn_v tyrant_n to_o every_o other_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v apparent_o for_o our_o good_a that_o he_o have_v tie_v up_o our_o hand_n and_o thus_o with_o all_o possible_a brevity_n i_o have_v explain_v the_o particular_n include_v in_o this_o duty_n of_o subjection_n i_o now_o proceed_v to_o the_o three_o and_o last_o considerable_a in_o this_o duty_n

now_o the_o supreme_a power_n to_o which_o we_o of_o this_o nation_n owe_v subjection_n be_v the_o king_n who_o our_o law_n do_v declare_v and_o recognize_v to_o be_v our_o supreme_a and_o sovereign_a

the_o term_n of_o the_o duty_n i_o proceed_v in_o the_o next_o place_n to_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o for_o the_o power_n that_o be_v be_v ordain_v of_o god_n all_o sovereign_a prince_n do_v derive_v their_o power_n and_o authority_n from_o god_n who_o almighty_a providence_n do_v more_o peculiar_o concern_v itself_o in_o the_o disposal_n of_o crown_n and_o sceptre_n and_o do_v influence_n all_o second_o cause_n to_o conspire_v in_o the_o advancement_n of_o such_o person_n to_o empire_n as_o he_o himself_o have_v first_o choose_v and_o approve_v for_o there_o be_v no_o person_n can_v have_v right_a to_o govern_v in_o god_n kingdom_n under_o he_o unless_o it_o be_v by_o commission_n and_o authority_n from_o he_o and_o indeed_o to_o derive_v the_o authority_n of_o sovereign_a prince_n from_o any_o other_o head_n but_o god_n be_v in_o effect_n to_o deny_v he_o to_o be_v the_o supreme_a governor_n of_o the_o world_n which_o those_o person_n will_v do_v well_o to_o consider_v who_o make_v the_o people_n the_o fountain_n of_o regal_a authority_n for_o as_o on_o the_o one_o hand_n if_o it_o be_v by_o god_n authority_n that_o king_n reign_n it_o be_v god_n that_o govern_v by_o they_o and_o not_o the_o people_n so_o on_o the_o other_o if_o it_o be_v by_o the_o people_n authority_n it_o be_v the_o people_n that_o govern_v by_o they_o and_o not_o god_n if_o it_o be_v the_o choice_n of_o the_o people_n that_o make_v their_o prince_n without_o any_o commission_n or_o authority_n from_o god_n than_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o prince_n be_v the_o people_n vicegerent_n and_o not_o god_n but_o now_o in_o all_o government_n the_o supreme_a be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o inferior_a authority_n and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o authority_n within_o its_o jurisdiction_n that_o be_v not_o from_o it_o and_o dependent_a upon_o it_o it_o must_v be_v coordinate_a with_o it_o and_o then_o it_o can_v be_v supreme_a how_o then_o can_v god_n be_v supreme_a governor_n of_o the_o world_n when_o there_o be_v other_o coordinate_a authority_n with_o he_o that_o be_v independent_a from_o he_o and_o that_o owe_v not_o their_o be_v to_o he_o the_o people_n choice_n therefore_o even_o in_o elective_a government_n can_v signify_v no_o more_o than_o the_o bare_a present_v of_o a_o person_n to_o god_n to_o be_v authorize_v his_o vicegerent_n by_o he_o who_o if_o their_o choice_n be_v just_a and_o lawful_a be_v suppose_v to_o direct_v they_o to_o it_o by_o his_o providence_n and_o consequent_o to_o consent_v to_o and_o approve_v it_o and_o thereby_o to_o authorise_v the_o person_n so_o present_v for_o sovereign_a authority_n in_o the_o abstract_n be_v ordain_v and_o institute_v by_o god_n but_o abstract_a authority_n can_v govern_v without_o a_o person_n vest_v with_o it_o and_o to_o vest_n he_o with_o it_o he_o must_v not_o be_v only_o apply_v to_o the_o authority_n but_o the_o authority_n must_v be_v apply_v to_o he_o but_o now_o where_o the_o people_n have_v a_o right_n to_o election_n they_o can_v only_o apply_v the_o person_n to_o the_o authority_n but_o it_o be_v god_n consent_n and_o approbation_n which_o apply_v the_o authority_n to_o the_o person_n who_o thereupon_o commence_v supreme_a under_o god_n and_o have_v no_o superior_a tribunal_n but_o god_n to_o account_v to_o and_o thus_o according_a to_o the_o prophet_n daniel_n the_o
