This is gathered from the 12. verse at the end. So _Matthew 5.16._ _Reason_ 1. Because by this meanes they are convinced of the truth of our religion, whose author is God. 2. Because thereby they are drawne also to embrace the same religion, and to cleave unto God. 3. Because they are moved and stirred up to give God thanks, for those things that were the meanes of their conversion. _Vse._ This may serve _to exhort us_, to use this argument to stir up our selves to the practise of good works, because they make not only for our owne salvation, but for the glory of God also. Doctrine 9. _We must looke for a day of visitation, that men may glorifie God therein._ This is gathered from the 12. verse at the end. But the day of visitation may be understood either _in judgement_, or _in grace and mercy_. Here it is to be understood of the grace of God. So _Luke 1.68._ _Reason._ Because without grace there is no inclination in the heart of man to glorifie God. The tree must be good, that shall bring forth good fruit; Men doe not gather grapes of thornes, or figges of thistles, _Matthew 7.16,17._ _Vse._ This may serve _to admonish us_, to use all patience and meeknesse towards the wicked, alwayes provided, that we doe not faile in our duty to seeke their conversion. _2 Timothy 2.25._ * * * * * Verse 13. _Submit your selves therefore to every ordinance of man for the Lords sake; whether it be to the King, as supreme;_ Verse 14. _Or unto Governours, as unto them that are sent by him; for the punishment of evill doers, and for the praise of them that do well._ Verse 15. _For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men._ Verse 16. _As free, and not using your liberty for a cloake of maliciousnesse, but as the servants of God._ Verse 17. _Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Feare God. Honour the King_. The Analysis.
