whereby_o they_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v that_o we_o can_v have_v no_o use_n of_o the_o magistracy_n because_o we_o acknowledge_v jesus_n christ_n for_o our_o lord_n and_o king_n by_o who_o spirit_n

extend_v itself_o unto_o both_o the_o table_n of_o god_n law_n or_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o provide_v that_o their_o subject_n may_v not_o only_o live_v peaceable_o but_o also_o religious_o but_o in_o a_o diverse_a respect_n and_o manner_n 6_o for_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o first_o table_n it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o the_o magistrate_n to_o invent_v any_o law_n touch_v religion_n but_o their_o duty_n be_v to_o see_v that_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v understand_v and_o practise_v by_o their_o subject_n as_o it_o be_v full_o set_v down_o in_o the_o sacred_a book_n of_o both_o the_o testament_n which_o have_v be_v write_v by_o the_o apostle_n prophet_n and_o evangelist_n 7_o the_o magistrate_n also_o be_v bind_v if_o necessity_n so_o require_v to_o compel_v such_o as_o be_v in_o the_o ecclesiastical_a function_n unto_o the_o godly_a and_o careful_a performance_n of_o their_o duty_n &_o they_o be_v much_o more_o bind_v to_o

needful_a it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o magistrate_n to_o call_v a_o synod_n to_o gather_v the_o minister_n together_o thereunto_o and_o to_o see_v that_o the_o whole_a controversy_n be_v decide_v according_a to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o be_v decide_v that_o it_o be_v extinguish_v and_o utterlie_o put_v out_o the_o pope_n therefore_o do_v thrust_v his_o sickle_n unto_o other_o man_n

innocence_n modesty_n and_o tranquillity_n that_o they_o maintain_v the_o good_a from_o the_o injury_n of_o the_o evil_a man_n and_o uphold_v by_o their_o help_n and_o power_n such_o as_o be_v

the_o commonwealth_n require_v to_o be_v punish_v 11_o hence_o also_o we_o understand_v that_o when_o necessity_n so_o compel_v they_o and_o when_o they_o can_v otherwise_o defend_v the_o dominion_n commit_v unto_o their_o government_n they_o may_v lawful_o proclaim_v war_n both_o that_o they_o may_v thereby_o keep_v under_o the_o seditious_a practice_n of_o the_o unbrideled_a domestical_a
