Ergo, Inferior Judges are as essentially Judges, as the supreme Magistrate. The proposition is Rom. 13.1. For that is the Apostles Arguments; whence we prove, Kings are to be obeyed, because they are powers from God: I prove the assumption. Inferior Magistrates are powers from God, Deut. 1.17. and 19.6, 7. Exod. 22.7. Jere. 5.1. and the Apostle saith, The powers that are, are ordained of God.
