in_o a_o large_a sense_n 1._o in_o a_o strict_a sense_n when_o we_o find_v it_o in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o be_v ordain_v by_o such_o a_o express_a command_n as_o that_o the_o neglect_n thereof_o become_v sinful_a now_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o divine_a right_n of_o monarchy_n we_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o god_n do_v institute_v it_o so_o by_o his_o express_a command_n as_o if_o all_o other_o form_n of_o government_n be_v absolute_o unlawful_a or_o as_o if_o it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o a_o monarch_n to_o contract_v his_o power_n or_o set_v limit_n to_o himself_o in_o the_o use_n and_o exercise_n of_o his_o power_n no_o princess_n may_v tie_v up_o their_o own_o hand_n themselves_o though_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o their_o subject_n to_o force_v manacle_n upon_o they_o king_n may_v abate_v much_o of_o their_o greatness_n if_o they_o will_v it_o be_v lawful_a for_o they_o to_o do_v it_o pro_fw-la re_fw-la natâ_fw-la though_o it_o be_v impolitic_a and_o

3._o and_o partly_o from_o the_o general_n practice_n of_o all_o mankind_n who_o will_v not_o as_o we_o can_v suppose_v have_v consent_v in_o the_o universal_a observation_n of_o the_o thing_n have_v

i_o have_v allege_v already_o do_v abundant_o declare_v that_o the_o king_n have_v his_o power_n and_o authority_n from_o god_n and_o this_o be_v enough_o to_o satisfy_v any_o sober_a man_n who_o have_v any_o reverence_n for_o the_o scripture_n that_o kingly_a government_n be_v institute_v by_o god_n as_o the_o best_a of_o government_n though_o we_o can_v not_o trace_v the_o institution_n of_o it_o clear_o to_o the_o fountain_n head_n for_o in_o a_o matter_n of_o so_o remote_a antiquity_n it_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o salve_v all_o doubt_n or_o to_o take_v away_o all_o occasion_n of_o cavil_v from_o every_o witty_a and_o inquisitive_a sophister_n as_o long_o as_o god_n have_v declare_v that_o king_n reign_n by_o he_o it_o be_v reasonable_a for_o we_o to_o rest_v in_o that_o shall_v we_o

for_o the_o public_a good_a that_o it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o conclude_v from_o the_o very_a congruity_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o king_n be_v ordain_v of_o god_n because_o it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o believe_v that_o in_o the_o beginning_n god_n do_v order_n every_o thing_n for_o the_o best_a do_v institute_n that_o government_n which_o be_v most_o for_o the_o good_a of_o prince_n and_o

power_n to_o be_v no_o idle_a no_o groundless_a notion_n go_v to_o the_o creation_n and_o you_o will_v find_v that_o god_n invest_v adam_n with_o a_o plenitude_n of_o power_n over_o all_o creature_n over_o his_o very_a wife_n and_o by_o consequence_n over_o all_o her_o issue_n this_o the_o apostle_n call_v a_o law_n 1._o cor._n 14_o 34._o and_o as_o the_o law_n which_o god_n give_v to_o all_o
