else_o be_v willing_a to_o dally_v with_o heretic_n the_o first_o sort_n do_v only_o require_v of_o the_o magistrate_n to_o maintain_v and_o defend_v their_o degree_n the_o second_o sort_n hold_v that_o the_o magistrate_n ought_v only_o to_o meddle_v with_o the_o maintenance_n of_o public_a peace_n and_o not_o to_o regard_v what_o other_o believe_v or_o not_o believe_v but_o the_o true_a church_n teach_v that_o the_o charge_n of_o public_a religion_n do_v not_o in_o part_n magistrate_n charge_v of_o religion_n belong_v to_o the_o magistrate_n but_o principal_o and_o most_o of_o all_o belong_v unto_o the_o magistrate_n which_o thing_n the_o holy_a scripture_n approve_v moses_n the_o first_o general_a magistrate_n of_o the_o israelite_n aaron_n god_n give_v the_o order_n of_o

what_o they_o shall_v not_o do_v whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o care_n of_o the_o order_n of_o religion_n do_v rather_o belong_v unto_o the_o superior_a magistrate_n then_o unto_o the_o degree_n of_o priesthood_n i_o know_v they_o will_v say_v that_o moses_n do_v dispose_v all_o these_o thing_n at_o god_n commandment_n it_o be_v true_a but_o i_o will_v be_v answer_v again_o why_o god_n give_v not_o the_o commandment_n for_o order_n of_o religion_n unto_o aaron_n who_o he_o have_v consecrate_v to_o be_v a_o priest_n rather_o than_o unto_o moses_n so_o then_o this_o rather_o show_v that_o the_o charge_n of_o the_o institution_n and_o governance_n belong_v unto_o the_o magistrate_n but_o the_o institution_n charge_n and_o ministration_n belong_v unto_o the_o priest_n again_o after_o the_o death_n of_o moses_n the_o charge_n of_o religion_n belong_v not_o to_o eleasar_n the_o priest_n but_o to_o jehosua_n the_o magistrate_n who_o be_v of_o the_o tribe_n of_o ephraim_n 5_o josua_n

people_n sanctify_v and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o law_n fulfil_v which_o moses_n prescribe_v again_o jehosua_n charge_v they_o to_o fear_v the_o lord_n 8_o josua_n 8_o and_o to_o serve_v he_o with_o a_o upright_o and_o faithful_a heart_n jehosua_n charge_v they_o to_o rid_v out_o of_o the_o way_n all_o strange_a god_n jehosua_n renew_v the_o covenant_n between_o god_n and_o his_o people_n and_o
