from_o infection_n and_o offence_n state-reformation_n reach_v only_o to_o the_o outward_a practice_n aim_v at_o the_o outward_a peace_n now_o though_o they_o be_v thus_o distinct_a yet_o he_o

outward_a man_n than_o a_o discommendation_n to_o it_o that_o it_o can_v do_v no_o more_o 3._o take_v notice_n he_o be_v not_o only_o a_o enemy_n to_o our_o government_n but_o to_o the_o confession_n of_o faith_n bring_v in_o by_o the_o revernd_a assembly_n to_o the_o parliament_n and_o to_o show_v how_o he_o distaste_v it_o he_o think_v not_o one_o place_n enough_o in_o his_o sermon_n to_o

wherefore_o it_o make_v i_o think_v when_o he_o use_v those_o word_n that_o something_o either_o erroneous_a as_o indeed_o it_o be_v or_o controversial_a will_v fall_v from_o he_o else_o there_o

grant_v the_o spiritual_a church_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v reform_v by_o worldly_a and_o secular_a power_n which_o if_o he_o mean_v in_o this_o sense_n that_o secular_a power_n can_v reform_v the_o

these_o cause_n he_o lay_v down_o be_v intend_v for_o to_o plead_v for_o some_o such_o thing_n as_o this_o that_o because_o the_o magistrate_n can_v reform_v the_o heart_n therefore_o he_o must_v not_o put_v to_o his_o hand_n to_o repress_v the_o divulge_n of_o heretical_a opinion_n nor_o punish_v those_o person_n that_o do_v i_o can_v discern_v at_o what_o mark_n he_o shall_v aim_v at_o but_o this_o i_o now_o come_v to_o consider_v of_o the_o cause_n or_o reason_n as_o he_o lay_v they_o down_o his_o first_o reason_n forcible_a reformation_n be_v unbeseeming_a the_o gospel_n 1_o for_o the_o
