both_o himself_o and_o they_o they_o therefore_o who_o power_n can_v be_v resist_v and_o by_o consequence_n god_n almighty_a derive_v his_o right_n of_o sovereignty_n from_o the_o power_n i●_n self_n and_o as_o oft_o as_o god_n punish_v or_o slay_v a_o sinner_n although_o he_o therefore_o punish_v he_o because_o he_o sin_v yet_o may_v we_o not_o say_v that_o he_o can_v not_o just_o have_v punish_v
