that_o power_n which_o be_v never_o attribute_v to_o any_o christian_a magistrate_n by_o any_o christian_a but_o only_o by_o those_o who_o have_v very_o good_a assurance_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v

within_o the_o compass_n of_o so_o many_o age_n as_o be_v by_o go_v no_o one_o man_n of_o that_o conscientious_a generation_n of_o saint_n which_o have_v be_v wont_a so_o frequent_o to_o deny_v

their_o desire_n ergo_fw-la he_o ought_v not_o to_o claim_v it_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o this_o very_a argument_n be_v build_v upon_o mere_a humane_a answ_n reason_n without_o any_o shadow_n of_o scripture_n to_o warrant_v it_o and_o be_v a_o mere_a surmise_n of_o a_o crazy_a atheistical_a brain_n to_o elude_v yea_o contradict_v direct_a text_n of_o scripture_n by_o which_o kind_n of_o argumentation_n both_o the_o scripture_n and_o deity_n itself_o may_v be_v subvert_v by_o luxuriant_a wit_n second_o this_o arguer_n play_v the_o hypocrite_n against_o his_o own_o judgement_n and_o conscience_n tacit_o confess_v that_o if_o the_o civil_a magistrote_n will_v be_v for_o he_o to_o set_v up_o independency_n and_o not_o against_o he_o he_o will_v plead_v as_o hot_o for_o his_o authority_n and_o coercive_a power_n as_o any_o presbyterian_a but_o because_o he_o conceive_v the_o parliament_n and_o magistrate_n be_v against_o his_o way_n therefore_o he_o plead_v against_o their_o coercive_a power_n to_o suppress_v it_o as_o the_o 2._o donatist_n do_v of_o old_a upon_o this_o very_a ground_n who_o make_v use_v of_o julian_n the_o apostate_n edict_n against_o the_o orthodox_n christian_n to_o restrain_v they_o but_o condemn_v constantine_n law_n to_o restrain_v themselves_o as_o be_v evident_a by_o st_n augustine_n forecited_a passage_n yea_o our_o independent_o at_o first_o seem_o plead_v for_o the_o parliament_n and_o civil_a magistrate_n coercive_a power_n while_o they_o have_v any_o hope_n to_o make_v use_n thereof_o 158._o for_o the_o advancement_n of_o their_o own_o party_n as_o the_o 6._o arminian_n do_v in_o holland_n till_o the_o state_n declare_v against_o they_o and_o then_o they_o retract_v what_o they_o have_v write_v in_o defence_n of_o their_o coercive_a corrective_a power_n and_o write_v express_o against_o it_o thus_o the_o g_o independent_o and_o anabaptist_n do_v now_o god_n defend_v we_o from_o such_o gross_a

who_o think_v the_o judge_n sure_a on_o their_o party_n do_v ever_o hold_v it_o lawful_a for_o judge_n to_o condemn_v and_o hang_v man_n for_o steal_v a_o little_a money_n or_o good_n to_o supply_v their_o want_n ergo_fw-la no_o judge_n ought_v to_o claim_v or_o execute_v such_o a_o power_n no_o 150._o wolf_n or_o fox_n do_v ever_o hold_v it_o lawful_a for_o any_o shepherd_n to_o hunt_v take_v
