And again,1 When we have a mercy (that's the third note) when we have what we would have, yet if we do not improve it for God, we do thereby renounce our acknowledgement of it from God. God hath given thee an Estate, or Honours, or Preferment: What doest thou do? Doest thou now abuse this for thine own lusts? Thou doest hereby renounce thy acknowledgement that thou hadst it from God. They have set up Kings, but not by me, I will not own that; Why? because in the way of their Administration they have indeed renounced any right I have to their Government:2 And so the Seventy translate the words, They have reigned to themselves.
