*So that it is GODs royal, and goodly creature. And if it were visible to our bodily eyes, it would far out shine the fairest, and most glistering Imperial Crown, that ever sate upon any Caesars head. It is so sovereign, and certainly from GOD, that in case of Antinomy, that is, when Authority countermands where GOD hath commanded; we must refuse the will, but still reverence the power of a lawful Magistrate.

If the sword of Sovereignty, the exercise, and execution of power be bent against GOD, we must lay hold upon the Apostles Principle: Whether it be right in the sight of GOD to obey you rather then GOD judge ye. And good reason, GOD is a Creator, man a creature, and in his hands are only life and death; but in GODs, heaven and hell.
