hand_n in_o blood_n and_o blindness_n together_o the_o clergy_n must_v preach_v up_o magistracy_n and_o the_o sword_n of_o authority_n must_v seem_v heathenish_a if_o he_o do_v not_o only_o protect_v

of_o life_n in_o christ_n jesus_n to_o saint_n as_o the_o sun_n by_o day_n the_o interest_n of_o antichrist_n have_v be_v to_o marry_v these_o to_o one_o another_o that_o they_o may_v engender_v a_o

to_o much_o blood_n in_o the_o dark_a when_o both_o mistake_v their_o own_o bound_n or_o neglect_v their_o proper_a respective_a charge_n now_o when_o i_o say_v that_o a_o magistrate_n as_o he_o be_v a_o magistrate_n have_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o do_v with_o the_o regulate_v of_o man_n opinion_n and_o conscience_n i_o find_v he_o allow_v and_o stint_v to_o his_o own_o statute-booke_n which_o

these_o be_v judge_v as_o far_o as_o the_o light_n of_o god_n do_v convince_v or_o may_v reprove_v they_o and_o let_v every_o one_o of_o they_o attend_v to_o it_o as_o far_o as_o they_o know_v not_o
