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. Prou. 8. v. 15. Wisdom that is the son of God speaketh. By me kings reign and princes decree justice. Dan. 2. v. 21. God taketh away kingdoms, & setteth up kings. Rom. 13. v. 1. Paul saith. He that resisteth power, resisteth the ordinance of God.
