of_o it_o as_o god_n require_v at_o our_o hand_n not_o only_o outward_a obedience_n in_o our_o deed_n and_o action_n but_o also_o that_o we_o honour_v he_o with_o our_o word_n and_o that_o our_o heart_n be_v upright_o in_o his_o sight_n so_o the_o magistrate_n that_o sit_v in_o god_n seat_n and_o have_v his_o authority_n in_o his_o hand_n may_v just_o challenge_v all_o these_o thing_n from_o us._n the_o very_a height_n and_o excellency_n of_o his_o call_n do_v enforce_v they_o all_o for_o he_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n say_v the_o apostle_n therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o obey_v he_o he_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n therefore_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o reproach_n he_o or_o revile_v he_o but_o to_o speak_v all_o good_a of_o he_o he_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n therefore_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o hate_v he_o or_o despise_v he_o but_o to_o carry_v a_o reverend_a conceit_n and_o estimation_n of_o he_o 1._o now_o for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o you_o must_v understand_v that_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o obedience_n to_o humane_a law_n we_o do_v not_o mean_a obedience_n without_o exception_n but_o obedience_n under_o condition_n and_o limitation_n so_o long_o as_o the_o magistrate_n command_v nothing_o by_o his_o law_n that_o be_v prejudicial_a to_o our_o duty_n towards_o god_n so_o long_o we_o must_v obey_v but_o if_o he_o command_v we_o to_o do_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v unlawful_a in_o that_o case_n in_o stead_n of_o obedience_n we_o bring_v subjection_n we_o must_v not_o be_v obedient_a then_o but_o even_o then_o we_o must_v be_v subject_a in_o all_o other_o case_n in_o matter_n that_o be_v apparent_o good_a in_o civil_a office_n in_o affair_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n in_o matter_n of_o justice_n and_o in_o all_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v in_o their_o own_o nature_n indifferent_a and_o those_o be_v such_o as_o be_v neither_o command_v nor_o forbid_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o must_v not_o only_o be_v subject_a but_o obedient_a also_o give_v unto_o caesar_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v caesar_n say_v christ._n submit_v yourselves_o to_o all_o manner_n of_o ordinance_n say_v peter_n let_v every_o soul_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o high_a power_n say_v paul_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o chapter_n and_o in_o the_o three_o to_o titus_n put_v they_o in_o remembrance_n that_o they_o be_v subject_a to_o principality_n and_o power_n and_o that_o they_o be_v obedient_a to_o every_o good_a work_n so_o then_o we_o must_v be_v subject_a simple_o and_o without_o exception_n obedient_a only_o in_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a good_a for_o ourselves_o good_a for_o the_o church_n or_o good_a for_o the_o commonwealth_n wherein_o we_o live_v and_o we_o must_v not_o ourselves_o be_v judge_n what_o be_v good_a but_o submit_v our_o own_o judgement_n to_o the_o judgement_n of_o our_o governor_n except_o we_o find_v that_o the_o thing_n command_v be_v plain_o and_o direct_o forbid_v in_o the_o word_n in_o which_o case_n we_o must_v be_v subject_a still_o though_o not_o obedient_a this_o be_v you_o see_v the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n this_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o peter_n and_o paul_n no_o other_o doctrine_n teach_v

not_o take_v upon_o i_o to_o judge_v and_o censure_v that_o epistle_n whether_o it_o tend_v not_o to_o too_o much_o lenity_n and_o remissness_n yea_o or_o no._n but_o if_o the_o manner_n of_o

old_a rule_n which_o tell_v we_o it_o be_v better_a to_o answer_v god_n for_o mercy_n then_o for_o justice_n and_o safe_a for_o a_o magistrate_n to_o save_v the_o life_n of_o many_o malefactor_n then_o to_o cast_v away_o one_o innocent_a for_o if_o a_o malefactor_n chance_n to_o escape_v at_o one_o time_n the_o hand_n of_o god_n be_v able_a to_o reach_v he_o at_o another_o but_o if_o a_o innocent_a die_n god_n may_v receive_v he_o into_o his_o mercy_n and_o will_v if_o he_o die_v as_o a_o faithful_a christian_n ought_v but_o it_o lie_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o man_n to_o make_v he_o satisfaction_n for_o the_o wrong_n but_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o they_o which_o be_v in_o authority_n have_v need_v to_o take_v heed_n in_o what_o case_n they_o show_v mercy_n for_o by_o the_o example_n of_o joshua_n who_o destroy_v achan_n and_o his_o house_n for_o steal_v the_o babylonish_n garment_n contrary_a to_o the_o express_a commandment_n of_o god_n by_o the_o example_n of_o moses_n who_o cause_v the_o man_n of_o israel_n to_o take_v vengeance_n one_o of_o another_o and_o every_o man_n to_o turn_v his_o sword_n into_o the_o bosom_n of_o his_o own_o brother_n for_o their_o curse_a idolatry_n by_o the_o example_n of_o phinees_n which_o slay_v the_o adulterer_n and_o adulteress_n both_o together_o and_o pierce_v they_o through_o with_o his_o javeline_n in_o all_o which_o

may_v be_v produce_v it_o be_v plain_a and_o evident_a that_o in_o horrible_a transgression_n in_o heinous_a and_o cry_a sin_n there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o remove_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o evil_a from_o a_o common_a state_n but_o by_o remove_v and_o take_v away_o the_o evil_a and_o wicked_a person_n from_o among_o the_o people_n take_v heed_n therefore_o and_o beware_v and_o look_v to_o thyself_o thou_o that_o be_v a_o transgressor_n of_o the_o law_n if_o thou_o do_v evil_a fear_v say_v the_o apostle_n for_o he_o bear_v not_o the_o sword_n in_o vain_a like_o the_o picture_n of_o
