magistrate_n power_n to_o remove_v those_o out_o of_o the_o world_n that_o god_n will_v have_v permit_v to_o live_v how_o soon_o may_v a_o magistrate_n if_o guide_v by_o such_o doctrine_n bring_v

and_o destroy_v those_o that_o be_v contrary_a mind_v in_o religious_a matter_n because_o of_o their_o fallibility_n and_o that_o be_v the_o very_a reason_n why_o the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o the_o

matter_n woeful_a experience_n have_v teach_v the_o world_n in_o all_o age_n the_o lord_n of_o life_n himself_o be_v put_v to_o death_n for_o suppose_a blasphemy_n and_o wickedness_n and_o accuse_v
