of_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v put_v to_o death_n this_o furnish_v a_o answer_n to_o the_o objection_n i_o have_v hear_v make_v to_o the_o former_a instance_n that_o the_o gatherer_n of_o stick_n on_o the_o sabbath_n be_v put_v to_o death_n by_o a_o special_a direction_n from_o god_n which_o may_v no_o more_o be_v draw_v into_o example_n now_o than_o abraham_n go_v about_o to_o sacrifice_v his_o

of_o the_o sabbath_n with_o death_n which_o for_o aught_o appear_v be_v not_o so_o understand_v by_o they_o unless_o nehemiahs_n threaten_v neh._n 13.21_o may_v be_v take_v in_o that_o sense_n i_o humble_o conceive_v that_o by_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o law_n which_o ordain_v that_o blasphemy_n shall_v be_v punish_v with_o death_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o execution_n of_o that_o mongrel_n egyptian_a jew_n for_o that_o sin_n be_v not_o extraordinary_a and_o from_o both_o those_o instance_n that_o by_o the_o example_n of_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n it_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o assembly_n of_o god_n on_o earth_n to_o put_v offender_n to_o death_n for_o crime_n desorve_v capital_a punishment_n though_o commit_v before_o they_o be_v declare_v to_o be_v such_o and_o it_o may_v be_v so_o much_o may_v also_o be_v gather_v from_o that_o famous_a place_n deut._n 17.9.10_o which_o i_o refer_v to_o further_a consideration_n last_o his_o lordship_n own_o rule_n in_o his_o

no_o monarch_n of_o the_o east_n be_v so_o absolute_a in_o dispel_v grievance_n for_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o if_o any_o man_n how_o great_a soever_o do_v once_o become_v a_o public_a grievance_n that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o dangerous_a and_o insupportable_a minister_n to_o the_o state_n those_o eastern_a monarch_n do_v not_o use_v to_o stand_v upon_o punctilio_n of_o law_n make_v
