by_o he_o upon_o the_o apostle_n and_o their_o successor_n the_o bishop_n forever_o so_o that_o here_o i_o must_v suppose_v the_o constitution_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n within_o itself_o and_o all_o that_o i_o be_o bind_v to_o do_v at_o present_a be_v that_o suppose_v its_o distinct_a and_o independent_a authority_n for_o grant_v to_o explain_v how_o it_o accommodate_v and_o submit_v

and_o here_o the_o first_o and_o chief_a thing_n to_o be_v consider_v be_v that_o christianity_n suppose_v the_o power_n of_o prince_n civil_a government_n be_v settle_v in_o the_o world_n from_o its_o beginning_n by_o the_o general_a providence_n of_o god_n and_o antecedent_o to_o our_o saviour_n particular_a institution_n and_o therefore_o as_o the_o first_o thing_n that_o our_o saviour_n open_o declare_v when_o he_o enter_v upon_o his_o office_n be_v the_o erection_n of_o his_o own_o new_a kingdom_n so_o the_o next_o thing_n that_o he_o take_v care_n to_o instruct_v his_o subject_n in_o be_v that_o this_o his_o kingdom_n be_v no_o kingdom_n of_o this_o world_n so_o that_o from_o thence_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o he_o leave_v the_o government_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o this_o world_n in_o the_o same_o posture_n in_o which_o they_o have_v ever_o stand_v be_v over_o he_o come_v into_o it_o and_o therefore_o there_o can_v be_v no_o alteration_n much_o less_o abatement_n of_o the_o civil_a government_n any_o where_o upon_o the_o score_n of_o his_o authority_n otherwise_o the_o institution_n of_o his_o kingdom_n have_v be_v a_o breach_n upon_o the_o ancient_a right_n of_o those_o sovereign_a power_n in_o who_o dominion_n it_o be_v erect_v which_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n that_o our_o saviour_n whilst_o himself_o converse_v upon_o earth_n be_v careful_a to_o avoid_v this_o therefore_o be_v to_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o first_o place_n as_o the_o fundamental_a article_n of_o his_o religion_n that_o neither_o himself_n nor_o any_o of_o those_o that_o he_o have_v depute_v for_o the_o government_n of_o it_o challenge_v any_o temporal_a power_n to_o themselves_o or_o any_o exemption_n from_o the_o authority_n of_o those_o that_o have_v it_o neither_o be_v this_o to_o be_v look_v upon_o only_a as_o a_o positive_a duty_n but_o it_o be_v necessary_a in_o itself_o from_o the_o nature_n and_o the_o design_n of_o christianity_n which_o be_v to_o settle_v a_o pure_a religion_n in_o the_o world_n by_o the_o strength_n of_o its_o own_o truth_n and_o goodness_n without_o any_o help_n of_o worldly_a power_n or_o mixture_n of_o worldly_a interest_n as_o i_o have_v elsewhere_o show_v at_o large_a from_o the_o whole_a story_n of_o its_o first_o settlement_n and_o therefore_o agreeable_a to_o this_o great_a observation_n it_o be_v very_o remarkable_a that_o our_o saviour_n himself_o whilst_o he_o converse_v upon_o earth_n do_v not_o only_o never_o challenge_v any_o kind_n of_o civil_a authority_n to_o himself_o but_o seize_v all_o occasion_n to_o defy_v and_o disclaim_v it_o as_o absolute_o inconsistent_a with_o his_o commission_n thus_o john_n 6._o 15._o when_o the_o people_n suppose_v he_o to_o be_v that_o temporal_a messiah_n that_o they_o
