to_o be_v establish_v in_o any_o kingdom_n by_o temporal_a reward_n or_o punishment_n to_o encourage_v the_o obedient_a and_o terrify_v the_o disobedient_a the_o supreme_a power_n of_o every_o

it_o and_o they_o be_v answerable_a only_o to_o god_n for_o their_o act_n herein_o if_o therefore_o the_o supreme_a civil_a government_n in_o france_n or_o spain_n set_v up_o popery_n a_o man_n must_v submit_v to_o it_o or_o burn_v for_o it_o if_o the_o law_n be_v so_o and_o such_o a_o law_n though_o it_o be_v unjust_a be_v as_o forcible_a for_o a_o false_a religion_n as_o a_o true_a but_o there_o be_v another_o way_n of_o establish_v a_o religion_n and_o that_o be_v by_o convince_a man_n mind_n that_o the_o religion_n be_v true_a and_o that_o according_a as_o man_n cordial_o embrace_v it_o the_o shall_v be_v secure_v of_o the_o divine_a favour_n and_o be_v happy_a in_o the_o next_o world._n and_o if_o this_o be_v the_o christian_a religion_n of_o which_o they_o be_v so_o convince_v one_o principle_n of_o it_o be_v that_o the_o professor_n thereof_o ought_v to_o associate_v themselves_o into_o a_o body_n and_o that_o christ_n the_o author_n thereof_o have_v appoint_v governor_n

next_o life_n now_o man_n thus_o persuade_v can_v think_v a_o act_n of_o the_o civil_a governor_n alone_o a_o sufficient_a commission_n for_o any_o one_o to_o undertake_v the_o function_n of_o a_o spiritual_a pastor_n any_o more_o than_o a_o act_n of_o these_o spiritual_a pastor_n be_v sufficient_a to_o capacitate_v and_o commissionate_v a_o man_n to_o discharge_v a_o civil_a function_n and_o therefore_o mr._n m._n argue_v very_o unnecessary_o against_o the_o parliament_n power_n to_o preach_v or_o administer_v sacrament_n pag._n 3._o since_o the_o 27_o article_n of_o our_o church_n deny_v

and_o i_o suppose_v that_o this_o canonical_a mission_n be_v nothing_o the_o less_o valid_a because_o the_o other_o go_v along_o with_o it_o but_o than_o it_o may_v be_v object_v have_v not_o france_n and_o spain_n a_o act_n of_o the_o church_n as_o well_o as_o state_n for_o establish_v their_o religion_n i_o answer_v they_o have_v and_o so_o have_v mahometism_n in_o turkey_n a_o act_n of_o what_o they_o count_v the_o church_n for_o its_o establishment_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a that_o the_o power_n that_o establish_v a_o religion_n be_v competent_a and_o the_o method_n regular_a by_o which_o it_o be_v settle_v but_o likewise_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o religion_n be_v true_a in_o itself_o and_o therefore_o a_o man_n must_v examine_v whether_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v more_o pure_o &_o true_o teach_v &_o establish_v in_o england_n or_o in_o spain_n before_o he_o either_o reject_v or_o embrace_v the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o for_o a_o
