the_o magistrate_n eminency_n and_o high_a degree_n i_o have_v say_v you_o be_v god_n and_o all_o of_o you_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o most_o high_a two_o here_o be_v adjoin_v a_o correction_n or_o a_o severe_a commination_n for_o the_o abuse_n of_o their_o place_n and_o dignity_n but_o you_o shall_v die_v like_o man_n and_o fall_v like_o one_o of_o the_o prince_n or_o if_o you_o will_v thus_o here_o be_v the_o dignity_n of_o the_o magistrate_n office_n i_o have_v say_v you_o be_v god_n and_o here_o be_v the_o infirmity_n of_o their_o person_n you_o shall_v die_v like_o men._n in_o the_o former_a of_o these_o you_o may_v observe_v 1._o the_o migistrate_n eminent_a quality_n you_o be_v go_n 2._o their_o authority_n and_o divine_a institution_n i_o have_v say_v you_o be_v go_n i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o viz._n the_o magistrate_n eminency_n they_o be_v go_n ruler_n and_o governor_n public_a minister_n and_o dispenser_n of_o law_n and_o justice_n among_o the_o people_n be_v deserve_o call_v go_n great_a and_o excellent_a thing_n have_v the_o name_n of_o god_n add_v to_o they_o in_o the_o style_n of_o holy_a scripture_n of_o which_o there_o be_v abundant_a instance_n and_o here_o the_o name_n of_o god_n be_v not_o only_o adjoin_v but_o attribute_v to_o these_o great_a and_o excellent_a person_n not_o only_o king_n and_o supreme_a ruler_n but_o subordinate_a magistrate_n be_v god_n for_o in_o the_o very_a front_n of_o this_o psalm_n wherein_o my_o text_n be_v it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n stand_v in_o the_o congregation_n of_o the_o mighty_a he_o judge_v among_o the_o god_n i.e._n the_o judge_n and_o magistrate_n who_o sit_v in_o the_o consistory_n the_o jewish_a sanhedrim_n the_o god_n then_o here_o be_v not_o the_o sovereign_a power_n so_o that_o the_o title_n be_v compatible_a both_o to_o these_o and_o to_o inferior_a magistrate_n and_o according_o my_o discourse_n at_o present_a will_v have_v reference_n both_o to_o the_o king_n as_o supreme_a and_o unto_o governor_n as_o unto_o they_o who_o be_v send_v and_o appoint_v by_o he_o some_o passage_n will_v more_o proper_o belong_v to_o crown_a head_n but_o yet_o in_o a_o due_a

character_n let_v it_o not_o be_v think_v strange_a if_o i_o seem_v sometime_o to_o treat_v you_o in_o the_o style_n of_o majesty_n i_o shall_v not_o endeavour_v to_o gain_v your_o attention_n by_o flattery_n but_o see_v the_o relation_n you_o bear_v to_o the_o high_a power_n and_o the_o worthy_a office_n you_o hold_v under_o it_o entitle_v you_o to_o the_o name_n of_o god_n i_o think_v it_o will_v be_v impossible_a and_o consequent_o a_o vain_a attempt_n to_o fix_v a_o more_o honourable_a title_n upon_o you_o and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v make_v it_o my_o business_n to_o descant_v upon_o that_o you_o can_v but_o observe_v that_o in_o the_o sacred_a writ_n this_o epithet_n be_v frequent_o fasten_v on_o magistrate_n and_o governor_n moses_n be_v to_o be_v to_o aaron_n instead_o of_o a_o

some_o interpret_v they_o in_o another_o way_n yet_o this_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v the_o plain_a and_o most_o obvious_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n viz._n that_o the_o moderate_a and_o lawful_a use_n of_o wine_n be_v serviceable_a to_o the_o refresh_n and_o cheer_v of_o the_o heart_n of_o both_o high_a and_o low_a king_n and_o their_o subject_n magistrate_n and_o other_o that_o be_v of_o a_o

and_o ruler_n by_o the_o title_n of_o god_n for_o in_o ver_fw-la 1._o the_o psalmist_n thus_o speak_v before_o the_o god_n will_v i_o sing_v praise_n unto_o thou_o and_o after_o he_o have_v stire_v

god_n i.e._n it_o be_v very_o probable_a magistrates_n and_o civil_a power_n he_o pretend_v he_o have_v a_o power_n of_o dispose_n of_o kingdom_n and_o empire_n and_o of_o reign_v over_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o this_o way_n of_o speak_v be_v usual_a with_o profane_a nation_n as_o well_o as_o jew_n and_o christian_n i_o can_v show_v you_o if_o i_o have_v leisure_n that_o the_o gentile_a world_n signify_v their_o apprehension_n concern_v magistrate_n and_o ruler_n very_o conformable_o to_o the_o style_n and_o language_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n they_o represent_v governor_n as_o god_n both_o their_o orator_n and_o poet_n mention_v they_o as_o divine_a person_n and_o above_o the_o reach_n of_o humanity_n yea_o it_o be_v observable_a that_o when_o the_o hieroglyph_n egyptian_n portray_v their_o god_n and_o king_n the_o head_n of_o both_o be_v encompass_v with_o wreath_n of_o serpent_n which_o according_a to_o their_o hieroglyphic_n be_v symbol_n of_o divinity_n as_o well_o as_o sovereignty_n it_o remain_v now_o that_o i_o show_v you_o in_o what_o sense_n the_o civil_a power_n be_v call_v god_n and_o why_o even_o the_o sacred_a writ_n honour_v they_o with_o that_o title_n it_o be_v blasphemy_n to_o assert_v that_o they_o be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d real_o god_n by_o nature_n i.e._n omnipotent_a and_o independent_a being_n for_o so_o

so_o for_o these_o three_o reason_n chief_o viz._n because_o first_o they_o be_v god_n by_o deputation_n they_o be_v god_n vicegerent_n and_o delegate_n they_o be_v his_o immediate_a minister_n and_o deputy_n they_o be_v in_o the_o place_n of_o the_o king_n of_o king_n they_o personate_v and_o represent_v he_o here_o on_o earth_n and_o therefore_o may_v just_o bear_v his_o name_n this_o be_v according_a to_o what_o king_n jehosaphat_n give_v in_o charge_n to_o his_o judge_n in_o 2_o chron._n nineteeen_o 6._o ye_o judge_n not_o for_o man_n but_o for_o the_o lord_n i.e._n you_o do_v not_o
