Submit your self to e very humane creature: So it is read in the Original, word for word; and not ordinances of men, as our Translations render it.

;;Moreover, howsoever divers forms of government be found out by men (every King in his Kingdom, for necessity of his estate, may create new officers and honours) yet the original institution of Rulers and Magistrates is from God, who hath ordained Civil powers as well as Eccles: astical, Rom. 13. 1.
