necessity_n of_o a_o sovereign_a power_n over_o the_o affair_n of_o religion_n from_o their_o concernment_n in_o the_o peace_n and_o government_n of_o the_o world_n i_o thence_o proceed_v to_o inquire_v where_o and_o in_o who_o it_o ought_v to_o reside_v and_o have_v show_v the_o inconsistency_n of_o erect_v two_o supreme_a secular_a power_n one_o over_o civil_a and_o the_o other_o over_o ecclesiastical_a cause_n i_o conclude_v that_o the_o supreme_a government_n of_o every_o commonwealth_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v universal_a absolute_a and_o uncontrollable_a in_o that_o it_o must_v extend_v its_o jurisdiction_n as_o well_o to_o affair_n of_o religion_n as_o to_o affair_n of_o state_n because_o they_o be_v so_o strong_o influential_a upon_o the_o interest_n of_o mankind_n and_o the_o end_n of_o government_n and_o now_o be_v this_o to_o make_v the_o ecclesiastical_a authority_n of_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n absolute_o paramount_n without_o regard_n to_o any_o other_o jurisdiction_n of_o what_o nature_n soever_o when_o i_o only_o maintain_v it_o in_o defiance_n to_o the_o claim_v of_o any_o other_o humane_a power_n for_o this_o be_v the_o only_a subject_n of_o that_o enquiry_n and_o when_o i_o assert_v the_o sovereign_a power_n to_o be_v absolute_a and_o uncontrollable_a it_o be_v apparent_a nothing_o else_o can_v be_v intend_v than_o that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v control_v by_o any_o distinct_a power_n whether_o of_o the_o pope_n or_o the_o presbytery_n for_o they_o be_v the_o only_a rival_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o christendom_n and_o when_o i_o assert_v it_o to_o be_v universal_a and_o absolute_a no_o man_n unless_o he_o will_v give_v his_o mind_n to_o misunderstanding_n can_v understand_v it_o in_o any_o other_o sense_n than_o that_o it_o be_v not_o confine_v to_o matter_n pure_o civil_a but_o extend_v its_o jurisdiction_n to_o matter_n of_o a_o ecclesiastical_a importance_n upon_o which_o account_n alone_o i_o determine_v it_o to_o be_v absolute_a universal_a and_o uncontrollable_a this_o be_v the_o main_a and_o the_o fundamental_a article_n of_o the_o reformation_n and_o that_o which_o distinguish_v the_o true_o orthodox_n

encroachment_n of_o those_o bold_a and_o dare_a sect_n and_o therefore_o from_o so_o plain_a and_o avow_v a_o truth_n to_o charge_v i_o for_o ascribe_v in_o general_a term_n a_o absolute_a universal_a and_o uncontrollable_a power_n to_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n over_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n argue_v more_o boldness_n than_o wit_n and_o discretion_n and_o give_v we_o ground_n to_o suspect_v that_o these_o man_n be_v not_o less_o forsake_v of_o shame_n and_o modesty_n than_o they_o be_v of_o providence_n for_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o very_a bold_a face_n

and_o be_v i_o be_o sure_a too_o much_o for_o you_o but_o when_o beside_o this_o i_o have_v draw_v up_o a_o brief_a and_o plain_a account_n of_o the_o part_n the_o coherence_n and_o the_o design_n of_o my_o first_o treatise_n to_o prevent_v you_o from_o abuse_v the_o people_n for_o the_o future_a with_o such_o rude_a mistake_n and_o perverting_n for_o you_o to_o repeat_v the_o very_a same_o
