9. Arg. Those powers which differ gradually, and per magis & 1minus, by more and less only, differ not in nature and species, and constitute not Kings and inferior Judges different univocally. But the power of Kings and inferior Judges are such, therefore Kings and Inferior Judges differ not univocally. That the powers are the same in nature, I prove 1. by the specifice acts, and formal object of the power of both, for 1. both are power ordained of God, Rom. 13. 1. to resist either, is to resist the ordinance of God, v. 2. both are by Office a terror to evil works, v. •3.2 3. both are the Ministers of God for good. 2. Though the King send and give a call to the inferior Judge, that doth no more make the inferior Judges powers in nature and species different, then Ministers of the Word called by Ministers of the Word, have Offices different in nature. Timotheus Office to be Preacher of the Word differeth not in specie, from the Office of the Presbytery, which laid hands on him, though their Office by extension, be more then Timothy's Office. 3. The peoples power is put forth in […] ⟨p. 164⟩[…] ⟨p. 165⟩⟨p. 166⟩those same acts, when they choose one to be their King and supreme Governor, and when they set up an Aristocratical Government, and choose many, or more then one, to be their Governors▪ for the formal object of one or many Governors is Justice and Religion, as they are to be advanced. 2. The form and manner of their operation is, brachio seculari, by a coactive power, and by the sword. 3. The formal acts of King and many Judges in Aristocracy, are these same, the defending of the poor and needy from violence, the conservation of a Community in a peaceable and a godly life, 31 Tim. 2. 2 Job 29. 12, 13. Isaiah 1. 17. 4. These same Laws of God that regulateth the King in all His Acts of Royal Government, and tieth and obligeth his conscience, as the Lords Deputy to execute Judgement for God, and not in the stead of men, in Gods Court of Heaven, doth in like manner tie, and oblige the conscience of Aristocratical Judges, and all inferior Judges, as is clear and evident by these places, 1 Tim. 2. 2. not only Kings, but all in authority [Greek or Hebrew] are obliged to procure that their subjects lead a quiet and peaceable life, in all godliness and honesty. All in conscience are obliged, Deut. 1. 16.
9. Arg. Those powers which differ gradually, and per magis & 1minus, by more and lesse only, differ not in nature and spece, and constitute not Kings and inferiour Iudges different univocally. But the power of Kings and inferiour Iudges are such, therefore Kings and Inferiour Iudges differ not univocally. That the powers are the same in nature, I prove 1. by the specifice acts, and formall object of the power of both, for 1. both are power ordained of God, Rom. 13. 1. to resist either, is to resist the ordinance of God, v. 2. both are by Office a terrour to evill workes, v. •3.2 3. both are the Ministers of God for good. 2. Though the King send and give a call to the inferiour Iudge, that doth no more make the inferiour Iudges powers in nature and spece different, then Ministers of the Word called by Ministers of the Word, have Offices different in nature.
