in_o the_o right_n than_o the_o order_n and_o power_n of_o the_o magistrate_n be_v the_o most_o monstrous_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n god_n make_v and_o ordain_v all_o thing_n for_o himself_o even_o the_o wicked_a for_o the_o evil_a day_n all_o be_v from_o god_n by_o god_n and_o to_o god_n nor_o be_v there_o any_o thing_n which_o have_v god_n for_o its_o author_n that_o have_v not_o for_o its_o

the_o world_n whence_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o magistracy_n be_v not_o proper_o ordain_v for_o god_n glory_n but_o the_o consequent_a be_v blasphemous_a ergo_fw-la 5._o if_o god_n have_v shut_v up_o the_o magistrate_n within_o this_o end_n and_o prescription_n than_o he_o have_v strange_o pervert_v his_o own_o order_n where_o so_o often_o he_o have_v arm_v king_n and_o prince_n and_o have_v command_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v meddle_v with_o his_o worship_n and_o religion_n for_o this_o end_n he_o give_v the_o law_n to_o moses_n the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n to_o josua_n and_o he_o have_v prescribe_v and_o command_v many_o other_o that_o leave_v their_o secular_a affair_n they_o shall_v be_v chief_o careful_a about_o matter_n of_o worship_n and_o salvation_n as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o one_o solomon_n all_o which_o god_n have_v do_v against_o the_o first_o institution_n and_o ordination_n of_o the_o politic_a power_n which_o inconstancy_n to_o attribute_v to_o god_n be_v

magistrate_n last_o if_o it_o be_v god_n perpetual_a law_n that_o the_o magistrate_n as_o such_o must_v not_o meddle_v with_o religion_n by_o himself_o and_o proper_o than_o it_o be_v very_o absurd_a that_o in_o the_o scripture_n so_o many_o contrary_a command_n be_v find_v such_o as_o psal_n 2._o and_o now_o o_o king_n kiss_v the_o son_n etc._n etc._n esa_n 40._o king_n shall_v be_v nurse_v

that_o god_n be_v so_o far_o from_o debar_v civil_a magistrate_n from_o the_o care_n of_o religion_n and_o piety_n that_o on_o the_o contrary_n he_o command_v and_o will_v have_v it_o their_o chief_a

because_o there_o he_o speak_v of_o wicked_a prince_n who_o then_o intend_v no_o such_o thing_n but_o rather_o the_o contrary_n i_o answer_v man_n do_v not_o always_o intend_v in_o their_o office_n the_o end_n prescribe_v by_o god_n yet_o on_o the_o contrary_n they_o often_o resist_v and_o yet_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v true_a that_o they_o shall_v follow_v the_o end_n prescribe_v by_o god_n if_o they_o will_v do_v well_o this_o paul_n say_v to_o be_v tranquillity_n and_o piety_n which_o those_o wicked_a prince_n than_o intend_v not_o but_o they_o shall_v have_v intend_v and_o christian_n ought_v to_o hope_v and_o pray_v that_o they_o will_v intend_v it_o if_o the_o stiltwalker_n will_v understand_v the_o matter_n let_v he_o look_v on_o himself_o he_o know_v that_o he_o seldom_o

his_o sanctity_n such_o be_v chief_o the_o magistrate_n yet_o i_o believe_v he_o will_v have_v no_o man_n doubt_v but_o that_o the_o end_n and_o intent_n of_o his_o church-discipline_n be_v proper_o
