     summary: It is evident that God thus marshalling Moses and Aaron in their several Offices , had c●re to protect the we●kest side , with strongest Walls and Barrs : for since Aaron the Elder Brother ha● the Sword took out of his h●●d●y D●cree , and in stead thereof , ge●ting a S●crifi●ing knife ; yet observe it , that knife is put into his hand by a 〈◊〉 statu●e , and to the house of Aaron , wh●reas Moses Sword , able in a great measure , to defend it self , is left in the hand of Providence to fi●d out th●s and that Josu●h , th●s and that Sampson , this and that Sam●●l . Search all Histories , and there is but here a battel if any but such as were fought by Kings and Magistrats whether in Israel , Greece , Baby●on , or Rome ; and their highest Honors flowed from their eminent hazarding themselves , for their Countreys Honour : such a time may this be , and your Scarlet G●wn may but shadow Bloody Services , your Sword comman●ed from its velvet sheath , to lodge in the breast of a declared F●e , the safety of your City , may consist in casting over the W●ll ; the head of some traitorous Sheba , there is valour to be regarded , and valiantly to be debated for , Figure● in that , when any of the People sinned through Ignorance in Moses Law , and it had come to his knowledge , he was to bring a kid of the Goats , or a Female without blemish , Levit.

     summary: Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. So upon the whole matter , there is not that reason to expect either much truth , or great instruction , from what is written concerning Hero's or Princes ; for few have been able to imitate the patterns Suetonius set the World in writing the Lives of the Roman Emperours , with the same freedom that they had led them : But the Lives of private Men , though they seldom entertain the Reader with such a variety of passages as the other do ; Yet certainly they offer him things that are more imitable , and do present Wisdom and Virtue to him , not only in a fair Idea , which is often look't on as a piece of the Invention or Fancy of the Writer , but in such plain and familiar instances , as do both direct him better , and perswade him more ; And there are not such temptations to biass those who writ them , so that we may generally depend more on the truth of such relations as are given in them .

     summary: The Authour of government , that 's God , for there is no power , but of God : True , the constitution is from man , the manner or mould of Government , as Solon said of the Athenian Laws , they were so good as the people could beare , fitted ( he meant ) and accomodated to the state of the people , but still the institution or ordination is from God , {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , they are ordained of God , from which conclusion follows this fearful consequence , he then that resisteth the power resisteth the Ordinance of God , v. 2. 2. He proves his position from the end of authority , v. 3. for Rulers are not a terrour to good works , but to the evil . The Temple hath ever been a good guard to the Town-hall , and better secures the Ministers of Justice , than swords and halberds ▪ O 't is sweet and safe too , when our earthly affairs have a relish of Religion , when we carry our selves on earth as Denisons of heaven , when we can say as Paul , {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} even our civil conversation is in heaven ; non cives respicit , sed Magistratus ( saith one ) a duty doubtlesse that beseems none better than those that are in authority ; a mercy yet granted us amidst all those concussions and confusions , both in Church and State , when Religion is become a by-word , and the Ordinances of God accounted but so many need-nots , sith yet those that sit at Stern keep the Helm in their hand , while our Princes and Rulers are as ready to hear what God hath to charge them in his Courts , as to see and charge their own : What cause have we to hope , that though sinners be the shame of a Nation , yet such Rulers will exalt it by righteousnesse .
