the_o apostle_n command_v they_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o he_o in_o unlawful_n if_o indeed_o nero_n command_n be_v only_o unlawful_a and_o this_o direction_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v make_v only_o to_o christian_n in_o those_o time_n and_o that_o subjection_n command_v be_v only_o suffer_v subjection_n than_o this_o scripture_n may_v make_v much_o more_o for_o nonresistance_n but_o though_o nero_n be_v a_o enemy_n to_o the_o christian_n yet_o some_o of_o his_o command_n be_v lawful_a and_o this_o direction_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o make_v only_o to_o christian_n in_o those_o time_n but_o as_o a_o general_a rule_n for_o all_o good_a men._n and_o the_o obedience_n and_o subjection_n here_o command_v be_v not_o only_o to_o be_v passive_a but_o active_a this_o scripture_n command_v active_a obedience_n to_o the_o high_a power_n in_o all_o thing_n

which_o concern_v the_o duty_n of_o subject_n and_o the_o public_a good_n and_o as_o for_o the_o instance_n in_o scripture_n out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o the_o king_n and_o chronicle_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o there_o be_v a_o covenant_n between_o the_o king_n and_o people_n and_o after_o the_o depose_v of_o athaliah_n all_o the_o congregation_n make_v a_o covenant_n with_o the_o king_n in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n 2_o chron_n 23.3_o and_o what_o do_v a_o covenant_n signify_v if_o it_o may_v not_o be_v defend_v and_o justify_v if_o such_o a_o dead_a dog_n as_o i_o be_o be_v worthy_a to_o

honour_n and_o obedience_n be_v due_a to_o they_o for_o the_o lord_n sake_n 1_o pet._n 2.13_o 2._o hence_o it_o follow_v evident_o that_o prince_n and_o governor_n ought_v to_o rule_v in_o god_n fear_n and_o so_o perform_v their_o office_n as_o god_n vicegerent_n administer_a justice_n impartial_o know_v who_o authority_n they_o have_v hence_o prince_n be_v call_v pastor_n of_o the_o people_n

follow_v that_o all_o subject_n ought_v to_o reverence_n and_o honour_v their_o king_n and_o governor_n with_o most_o humble_a service_n homage_n and_o obedience_n in_o all_o thing_n but_o of_o this_o
