that_o be_v it_o which_o forbid_v our_o resistance_n according_a to_o the_o apostle_n reason_n here_o which_o be_v take_v not_o from_o the_o actual_a ministration_n of_o any_o prince_n as_o if_o we_o

yea_o m._n bridge_n a_o little_a after_o acknowledge_v that_o inregard_n of_o their_o place_n they_o be_v god_n minister_n but_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o unlawful_a thing_n command_v they_o be_v not_o

god_n have_v appoint_v they_o in_o but_o m._n bridge_n conclude_v it_o be_v the_o doctor_n continual_a mistake_n to_o think_v the_o apostle_n forbid_v the_o resist_n of_o the_o high_a power_n in_o their_o unlawful_a command_n when_o as_o he_o forbid_v the_o resist_n of_o they_o in_o thing_n lawful_a we_o must_v bear_v with_o the_o importunity_n of_o these_o man_n who_o will_v not_o conceive_v

it_o will_v not_o have_v be_v a_o sufficient_a instruction_n whether_o we_o respect_v the_o duty_n of_o subjection_n which_o by_o this_o will_v not_o have_v be_v direct_v how_o to_o answer_v the_o unlawful_a command_n of_o prince_n or_o whether_o we_o consider_v those_o high_a power_n which_o then_o be_v tyrannical_a usualy_a command_a thing_n unlawful_a also_o this_o will_v have_v be_v the_o way_n to_o leave_v the_o gap_n open_a to_o rebellion_n for_o how_o easy_a will_v be_v the_o inference_n therefore_o we_o may_v resist_v when_o they_o command_v unlawful_o these_o answerer_n it_o

of_o power_n though_o abuse_v for_o he_o take_v it_o not_o from_o the_o use_n of_o the_o power_n but_o from_o the_o end_n for_o which_o god_n ordain_v it_o the_o high_a power_n then_o be_v nothing_o
