thus_o submit_v yourselves_o to_o every_o humane_a creature_n to_o this_o i_o say_v the_o word_n humane_a creature_n be_v better_o understand_v of_o the_o law_n make_v by_o humane_a authority_n than_o of_o the_o magistrate_n themselves_o for_o as_o the_o most_o high_a god_n and_o he_o only_o can_v give_v be_v and_o power_n to_o a_o divine_a law_n insomuch_o that_o no_o power_n on_o earth_n can_v

so_o yet_o they_o must_v be_v obey_v either_o active_o or_o passive_o because_o the_o power_n magistratical_a must_v not_o be_v resist_v only_o the_o error_n of_o a_o ill_a law_n must_v be_v refuse_v by_o all_o faithful_a man_n especial_o in_o matter_n of_o religion_n as_o we_o have_v show_v before_o 4._o this_o great_a power_n which_o god_n have_v give_v to_o king_n and_o ruler_n of_o the_o

without_o its_o form_n do_v god_n make_v a_o ordinance_n or_o any_o thing_n else_o without_o form_n if_o so_o what_o can_v you_o call_v it_o it_o be_v the_o form_n that_o give_v every_o thing_n to_o
