they_o be_v choose_v by_o the_o nation_n and_o much_o more_o in_o hereditary_a kingdom_n as_o they_o have_v their_o authority_n from_o god_n so_o they_o be_v only_o fellow_n accountable_a to_o he_o for_o he_o be_v the_o only_a potentate_n king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n he_o alone_o both_o make_v king_n by_o his_o sovereign_a power_n and_o by_o the_o same_o he_o can_v unmake_v they_o

to_o give_v it_o up_o to_o another_o but_o put_v down_o be_v the_o act_n of_o a_o superior_a by_o which_o one_o be_v place_n be_v take_v from_o he_o against_o his_o will._n now_o god_n be_v the_o superior_a that_o do_v this_o by_o the_o act_n of_o his_o providence_n it_o must_v be_v such_o a_o act_n as_o give_v the_o power_n from_o one_o against_o his_o will_n to_o another_o who_o god_n be_v

the_o action_n of_o king_n when_o they_o take_v away_o the_o life_n and_o estate_n of_o offender_n to_o do_v the_o same_o thing_n will_v be_v murder_n and_o robbery_n in_o private_a men._n but_o we_o know_v they_o be_v act_n of_o judgement_n in_o they_o that_o have_v the_o power_n of_o the_o sword_n and_o they_o will_v not_o be_v faithful_a to_o their_o trust_n if_o they_o do_v not_o do_v they_o in_o this_o text_n we_o be_v teach_v to_o think_v so_o of_o god_n that_o when_o he_o put_v down_o one_o and_o set_v up_o another_o he_o do_v it_o as_o a_o judge_n even_o i._o judge_n among_o go_n he_o deal_v with_o they_o as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v with_o their_o subject_n think_v of_o that_o and_o you_o will_v not_o stick_v at_o this_o objection_n as_o a_o judge_n he_o administer_v judgement_n and_o justice_n both_o which_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o habitation_n of_o his_o throne_n particular_o when_o he_o decree_v a_o conquest_n of_o any_o king_n or_o kingdom_n it_o be_v either_o as_o a_o
