It is manifest by the Scriptures that God approveth Magistracy or civill government: as Psal. 82. v. 1. God standeth in ⟨p. 183⟩the assembly of Gods, he judgeth among Gods. v. 6. I said ye are Gods, and ye are all the children of the most high. Deut. 1. v. 17. Moses saith, the judgement is Gods. So 2. Chron. 19. v. 6. Jehoshaphat saith to the Judges, ye execute not the judgements of man, but of the Lord.
