20._o 18._o where_o they_o say_v speak_v thou_o to_o we_o and_o we_o will_v hear_v but_o let_v not_o god_n speak_v to_o we_o lest_o we_o die_v certain_o any_o rational_a man_n will_v wonder_v at_o such_o a_o fancy_n when_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o moses_n be_v god_n messenger_n by_o the_o many_o miracle_n wrought_v by_o his_o hand_n both_o in_o egypt_n from_o whence_o he_o lead_v they_o

account_n as_o so_o apparent_o send_v by_o god_n they_o be_v bind_v to_o obey_v moses_n or_o disobey_v god_n himself_o and_o this_o promise_n at_o mount_n sinai_n be_v only_o to_o free_v they_o from_o the_o terror_n they_o have_v undergo_v before_o but_o that_o which_o mr._n hobbes_n drive_v at_o in_o this_o conceit_n may_v be_v to_o persuade_v man_n that_o they_o need_v not_o obey_v any_o of_o the_o prophet_n apostle_n or_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n since_o without_o their_o express_a promise_n so_o to_o do_v and_o so_o further_o labour_v to_o enervate_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o

all_o succeed_a monarch_n a_o great_a trouble_n than_o it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o impose_v upon_o they_o for_o he_o say_v that_o all_o sovereign_n be_v the_o sole_a interpreter_n of_o god_n command_n and_o that_o

he_o do_v in_o all_o commonwealth_n for_o by_o he_o king_n reign_n for_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a time_n when_o there_o be_v no_o king_n in_o israel_n and_o god_n appoint_v sometime_o judge_n chief_n that_o be_v king_n to_o govern_v they_o between_o which_o judge_n there_o be_v interval_n and_o i_o will_v know_v what_o temporal_a jurisdiction_n god_n exercise_v over_o they_o in_o those_o interval_n or_o at_o that_o time_n when_o there_o be_v no_o king_n certain_o none_o that_o we_o ever_o read_v of_o in_o holy_a writ_n and_o it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o suppose_v god_n exercise_v none_o for_o that_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n be_v then_o grievous_o oppress_v and_o so_o continue_v sometime_o for●y_a year_n before_o a_o deliverer_n rise_v up_o which_o they_o need_v not_o to_o have_v do_v if_o god_n have_v undertake_v the_o temporal_a government_n for_o that_o god_n by_o his_o power_n be_v able_a to_o have_v deliver_v they_o which_o we_o see_v he_o never_o do_v but_o by_o a_o temporal_a governor_n in_o the_o time_n of_o which_o governor_n the_o high_a priest_n be_v not_o god_n viceroy_n but_o rather_o the_o governor_n be_v and_o the_o 17._o deut._n 9_o &_o 12._o v._n clear_o make_v the_o priest_n and_o the_o judge_n which_o shall_v then_o afterward_o be_v different_a person_n and_o different_a employment_n so_o it_o be_v most_o apparent_a that_o god_n be_v no_o otherwise_o the_o temporal_a king_n of_o the_o israelite_n than_o he_o be_v king_n of_o all_o the_o earth_n nor_o the_o high_a priest_n as_o high_a priest_n his_o viceroy_n though_o the_o israelite_n be_v his_o choose_a people_n as_o to_o religious_a worship_n and_o as_o to_o the_o 1_o sam._n 8._o 7._o which_o mr._n hobbes_n cite_v where_o god_n say_v to_o samuel_n when_o the_o people_n ask_v a_o
