never_o have_v stand_v in_o need_n either_o of_o law_n or_o of_o magistracy_n man_n be_v of_o unblamable_a life_n and_o upright_a conversation_n will_v have_v be_v a_o law_n to_o himself_o and_o

for_o it_o be_v not_o nature_n that_o create_v king_n but_o the_o mutual_a consent_n of_o man_n for_o it_o be_v very_o idle_a and_o frivolous_a which_o some_o prate_n of_o a_o kind_n of_o

most_o nation_n now_o not_o all_o in_o general_n nay_o not_o the_o most_o civilise_a and_o po●●te_a nation_n do_v obey_v king_n for_o they_o who_o do_v acknowledge_v government_n do_v not_o use_v it_o alike_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o be_v manifest_a from_o the_o various_a constitution_n and_o model_n of_o kingdom_n among_o those_o who_o approach_v near_a to_o absolute_a power_n if_o they_o be_v narrow_o sift_v and_o examine_v they_o will_v be_v find_v to_o discard_v and_o destroy_v absolute_a power_n nor_o indeed_o be_v we_o to_o pass_v by_o in_o silence_n that_o the_o first_o

i_o desire_v you_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o one_o thing_n more_o which_o put_v this_o truth_n beyond_o all_o exception_n and_o that_o be_v this_o that_o the_o christian_n of_o the_o first_o three_o

use_v it_o whilst_o they_o be_v destitute_a of_o a_o christian_a magistracy_n but_o when_o once_o they_o be_v subject_a to_o a_o christian_a magistracy_n christian_a religion_n do_v never_o deprive_v its_o disciple_n of_o the_o natural_a 〈◊〉_d civil_a law_n and_o they_o public_o make_v appear_v that_o christ_n come_v not_o into_o the_o world_n to_o destroy_v and_o subvert_v nature_n but_o for_o the_o correct_v and_o better_n of_o it_o away_o then_o with_o your_o plague_n of_o mankind_n who_o that_o they_o may_v curry_v favour_n with_o tyrant_n have_v the_o impudence_n to_o bring_v back_o
