That our government and all lawful government of other Nations is appointed by God,1 we must conclude is a certain truth. But not so appointed by God as the government of the Jews was. And the reason is this, because the Church and Common-wealth of the Jews was involved in one, and therefore the Apostle speaking of the Church, he saith they were Aliens, and strangers from the Common-wealth of Israel; It was meant of the Church state. There was such a kind of Pedagogy under the Law, that the Church and State were involved in one, for Christ would be the head of the Church and Common-wealth too, and appoint them laws; And so their government was immediately from heaven.
