Temporally, magistrate is accountable to the people he rules. Tho magistracy is an ordinance of God, it flows from man. Men set up kings, and they set up the bounds of his power and the condition of his kingship.

"Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. " Mk 9:24
"The greatest thing we can desire, next to the glory of God, is our own salvation; and the sweetest thing we can desire is the assurance of our salvation. In this life we cannot get higher than to be assured of that which in the next life is to be enjoyed. All saints shall enjoy a heaven when they leave this earth; some saints enjoy a heaven while they are here on earth." Joseph Caryl
