people_n god_n authority_n be_v quite_o exclude_v from_o have_v any_o hand_n in_o the_o government_n of_o the_o world_n in_o short_a if_o the_o choice_n of_o the_o people_n make_v their_o governor_n without_o god_n authorise_v he_o he_o be_v the_o people_n viceroy_n and_o not_o god_n but_o if_o it_o be_v god_n that_o authorise_v he_o he_o be_v god_n viceroy_n and_o not_o the_o people_n so_o that_o their_o choice_n even_o in_o elective_a government_n can_v signify_v no_o more_o than_o the_o bare_a present_v of_o a_o person_n to_o god_n to_o be_v authorise_v his_o vicegerent_n by_o he_o who_o if_o their_o choice_n be_v just_a and_o lawful_a be_v suppose_v to_o consent_v to_o and_o approve_v it_o and_o thereby_o to_o authorise_v the_o person_n so_o present_v for_o sovereign_a

it_o he_o must_v not_o only_o be_v apply_v to_o the_o authority_n but_o the_o authority_n must_v also_o be_v apply_v to_o he_o but_o where_o the_o people_n have_v the_o right_n of_o election_n they_o only_o apply_v the_o person_n to_o the_o authority_n but_o it_o be_v god_n consent_n and_o approbation_n that_o apply_v the_o authority_n to_o the_o person_n who_o thereupon_o commence_v supreme_a

because_o as_o lord_n of_o all_o the_o lord_n and_o king_n of_o all_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n he_o rule_v and_o govern_v by_o their_o ministry_n and_o they_o rule_v and_o govern_v by_o his_o

of_o his_o grace_n we_o shall_v not_o fail_v of_o be_v frequent_o and_o powerful_o excire_v by_o he_o to_o piety_n and_o virtue_n and_o when_o he_o thus_o excite_v we_o if_o we_o do_v not_o wilful_o

will_v not_o we_o do_v and_o therefore_o unless_o we_o can_v depend_v upon_o god_n for_o assistance_n against_o the_o violence_n and_o outrage_n of_o our_o bad_a inclination_n after_o we_o have_v once_o struggle_v with_o they_o in_o vain_a and_o thereby_o make_v a_o woeful_a experiment_n of_o our_o own_o impotence_n we_o shall_v out_o of_o mere_a despair_n of_o prevail_v against_o they_o

may_v depend_v upon_o it_o that_o not_o only_o our_o own_o endeavour_n be_v in_o our_o power_n but_o god_n assistance_n too_o and_o that_o the_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n do_v not_o so_o much_o

because_o we_o know_v that_o god_n will_v assist_v our_o endeavour_n and_o that_o with_o his_o assistance_n we_o can_v but_o be_v victorious_a since_o therefore_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v as_o
