Matthew Poole and continuators on Romans 13:5

5. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath▪ but also for conscience sake :

q. d. Seeing things are so as I have said; That Magistracy is of God, that it is his Ordinance, that it is for the benefit of Mankind, and that it is Armed with the Sword; Therefore, there is a necessity of Subjection, and that for a double Reason. First, From fear of Wrath, or Punishment from the Magistrate. Secondly, And more especially from the obligation of Conscience, because God hath so Commanded; and to Erre in this Particular, is to offend God, and to wound our own Consciences, vid. 1 Sam. 24.5. Eccles. 8.2. and 1 Pet. 2.13.
