apostle_n who_o have_v not_o any_o power_n of_o compulsion_n in_o their_o hand_n 2_o because_o have_v these_o servant_n have_v any_o power_n of_o compoulsion_n in_o their_o hand_n they_o will_v not_o

to_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o the_o true_a god_n which_o only_o cut_v off_o those_o that_o deny_v he_o as_o mahumitane_n idolater_n etc._n etc._n 2_o he_o do_v pro_fw-la imperio_fw-la as_o a_o

law_n establish_v by_o the_o magistrate_n or_o state_n be_v the_o fear_n of_o offend_a god_n if_o they_o shall_v so_o do_v and_o therefore_o they_o need_v not_o be_v compel_v to_o that_o which_o thy_o have_n already_o 4_o either_o my_o conscience_n or_o the_o magistrate_n must_v be_v judge_n what_o be_v the_o true_a fear_n god_n if_o my_o conscience_n it_o will_v witness_v that_o i_o fear_v he_o because_o neither_o for_o the_o gain_v temporal_a good_n nor_o escape_v temporll_a hazard_n dare_v i_o sin_n against_o he_o but_o if_o the_o magistrate_n must_v be_v judge_n then_o in_o other_o

so_o many_o of_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n mere_o for_o do_v thing_n conscientious_o to_o god_n also_o that_o he_o listen_v not_o to_o they_o when_o the_o shall_v impute_v the_o evil_a success_n in_o

of_o his_o power_n let_v the_o magistrate_n judge_n whether_o the_o do_v thing_n out_o of_o conscience_n or_o the_o compel_a man_n to_o do_v thing_n with_o a_o doubt_a conscience_n or_o against_o
