to_o the_o magistrate_n i_o may_v here_o also_o again_o demand_v by_o what_o law_n in_o your_o sense_n but_o it_o be_v your_o bare_a opinion_n i_o be_o now_o to_o relate_v and_o the_o reason_n you_o produce_v not_o to_o show_v the_o rottenness_n of_o they_o for_o suppose_v in_o some_o indifferent_a rite_n and_o ceremony_n the_o church_n representative_a that_o be_v the_o governor_n of_o it_o pro_fw-la tempore_fw-la do_v prescribe_v they_o to_o be_v observe_v by_o all_o the_o supreme_a power_n forbid_v the_o do_v those_o thing_n if_o this_o do_v not_o null_a the_o former_a suppose_a obligation_n i_o must_v inevitable_o run_v upon_o these_o absurdity_n first_o that_o there_o be_v two_o supreme_a power_n in_o a_o nation_n at_o the_o same_o time_n second_o that_o a_o man_n may_v lie_v under_o two_o different_a obligation_n as_o to_o the_o same_o thing_n he_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v it_o by_o one_o power_n and_o not_o to_o do_v it_o by_o the_o other_o three_o the_o same_o

which_o be_v that_o of_o the_o supreme_a magistrate_n where_o by_o the_o way_n i_o note_v that_o these_o last_o reason_n be_v the_o very_a same_o that_o mr._n hobbs_n urge_v against_o this_o very_a

in_o the_o word_n of_o a_o very_a learned_a and_o judicious_a writer_n upon_o the_o like_a occasion_n you_o distinguish_v betwixt_o the_o sacred_a function_n which_o you_o grant_v to_o be_v the_o proper_a office_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o power_n over_o sacred_a thing_n which_o you_o annex_v entire_o to_o the_o civil_a power_n by_o which_o distinction_n you_o leave_v the_o governor_n of_o the_o church_n no_o other_o power_n than_o to_o administer_v the_o office_n of_o religion_n without_o any_o power_n of_o punish_v offender_n against_o the_o law_n of_o religion_n i_o confess_v part._n i._n c._n 8._o you_o own_o the_o church_n to_o be_v a_o society_n distinct_a from_o other_o society_n with_o law_n end_n and_o governor_n of_o a_o distinct_a nature_n and_o you_o have_v do_v the_o same_o before_o cap._n 2._o 2._o 3._o p._n 35._o just_a almost_o before_o you_o enter_v upon_o this_o grand_a determination_n and_o with_o punishment_n distinct_a from_o the_o civil_a and_o for_o spiritual_a end_n which_o you_o call_v excommunication_n or_o a_o exclusion_n of_o the_o offend_a person_n from_o communion_n with_o the_o society_n and_o say_v that_o this_o power_n be_v peculiar_a to_o the_o church_n but_o this_o reach_v not_o to_o the_o point_n as_o to_o church-law_n or_o to_o the_o power_n of_o punish_v offender_n against_o the_o law_n of_o religion_n beside_o you_o have_v call_v this_o church_n the_o magistrate_n all-along_a and_o invest_v he_o alone_o with_o church-power_n or_o a_o power_n distinct_a from_o that_o proper_o call_v political_n which_o can_v be_v no_o other_o than_o ecclesiastical_a and_o you_o have_v instance_a only_o in_o preach_v the_o word_n and_o administer_a the_o sacrament_n as_o the_o two_o office_n in_o which_o the_o authoritative_a exercise_n of_o the_o ministerial_a function_n derive_v by_o christ_n to_o his_o disciple_n do_v consist_v but_o all_o this_o i_o have_v show_v to_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o judgement_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o god_n both_o bishop_n father_n and_o council_n of_o the_o emperor_n themselves_o in_o the_o best_a age_n of_o the_o church_n and_o when_o
