there_o appear_v nothing_o of_o this_o nature_n now_o nor_o have_v for_o a_o long_a time_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n therefore_o if_o there_o be_v such_o thing_n why_o we_o see_v nothing_o like_o

of_o the_o empire_n turn_v christian_n till_o than_o indeed_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o church_n shall_v have_v some_o such_o power_n to_o enforce_v excommunication_n and_o render_v it_o terrible_a and_o effective_a to_o obstinate_a offender_n but_o when_o the_o governor_n and_o civil_a power_n become_v christian_a than_o they_o may_v use_v the_o temporal_a sword_n to_o back_o the_o spiritual_a and_o enforce_v these_o censure_n of_o the_o church_n with_o external_a punishment_n and_o thereby_o do_v that_o which_o god_n do_v by_o this_o extraordinary_a mean_n and_o therefore_o as_o when_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n of_o old_a come_v into_o the_o plentiful_a land_n of_o canaan_n that_o manna_n cease_v by_o which_o they_o have_v be_v feed_v in_o a_o barren_a wilderness_n

be_v please_v to_o withdraw_v the_o same_o and_o leave_v man_n to_o their_o own_o conduct_n when_o they_o be_v able_a to_o govern_v themselves_o for_o god_n be_v never_o so_o lavish_a and_o prodigal_a of_o do_v miracle_n as_o some_o man_n will_v make_v he_o as_o he_o never_o suffer_v a_o miracle_n to_o be_v effect_v but_o upon_o some_o very_a great_a reason_n no_o more_o do_v he_o ever_o
