by_o a_o posterior_n act_n of_o parliament_n to_o wit_n by_o the_o 29_o act_n of_o the_o 2_o parl._n of_o king_n charles_n the_o first_o as_o to_o the_o last_o particular_a in_o the_o indictment_n to_o wit_n my_o decline_a of_o his_o majesty_n authority_n at_o perth_n i_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o i_o do_v decline_v the_o civil_a magistrate_n as_o competent_a judge_n of_o minister_n doctrine_n in_o the_o first_o instant_a his_o majesty_n authority_n in_o all_o thing_n civil_a i_o do_v with_o all_o my_o heart_n acknowledge_v and_o that_o according_a to_o the_o confession_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o this_o church_n the_o conservation_n and_o purgation_n of_o religion_n belong_v to_o he_o as_o civil_a magistrate_n and_o that_o ecclesiastic_a person_n be_v not_o exempt_v from_o obedience_n to_o civil_a authority_n and_o the_o just_a command_n thereof_o not_o from_o punishment_n in_o case_n of_o their_o transgression_n but_o that_o declinator_n of_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n his_o be_v judge_n of_o minister_n doctrine_n in_o the_o first_o instant_n be_v no_o treason_n nor_o sedition_n but_o lawful_a and_o warrantable_a i_o do_v humble_o offer_n first_o that_o such_o declinator_n be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o god_n word_n and_o to_o the_o confession_n of_o faith_n and_o doctrine_n of_o this_o church_n which_o be_v confirm_v and_o ratify_v in_o parliament_n by_o many_o several_a act_n and_o therefore_o have_v the_o strength_n both_o of_o divine_a and_o humane_a law_n that_o they_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o god_n word_n be_v evident_n from_o this_o that_o the_o scripture_n do_v clear_o hold_v forth_o that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v a_o visible_a kingdom_n which_o he_o exercise_v in_o or_o over_o his_o visible_a church_n by_o the_o spiritual_a office_n bearer_n thereof_o which_o be_v whole_o distinct_a from_o the_o civil_a power_n and_o government_n of_o the_o world_n and_o not_o depend_v upon_o nor_o subordinate_a unto_o these_o government_n and_o the_o act_n thereof_o john_n 18.36_o 37._o mat._n 16.19_o john_n 28.23_o that_o they_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o confession_n of_o faith_n and_o doctrine_n of_o this_o

over_o his_o house_n but_o that_o which_o he_o have_v commit_v unto_o the_o spiritual_a office-bearer_n thereof_o under_o himself_o and_o therefore_o it_o have_v be_v the_o ordinary_a practice_n of_o this_o church_n in_o such_o case_n to_o use_v such_o declinator_n since_o the_o time_n of_o reformation_n from_o popery_n as_o may_v appear_v from_o many_o clear_a and_o undeniable_a and_o prove_v instance_n extant_a in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o gen._n assembly_n and_o record_n of_o this_o church_n particular_o these_o of_o mr._n david_n black_a in_o the_o year_n 1596._o which_o be_v own_v and_o
