〈◊〉_d as_o that_o ancient_a speak_v it_o suffer_v not_o a_o man_n to_o be_v his_o own_o now_o can_v we_o justify_v it_o to_o christ_n or_o our_o own_o conscience_n that_o we_o love_v he_o if_o we_o bestow_v not_o ourselves_o in_o a_o way_n of_o service_n upon_o he_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o man_n be_v so_o serve_v themselves_o be_v it_o not_o because_o they_o love_v themselves_o it_o be_v this_o self_n love_n that_o do_v confine_v man_n within_o himself_o and_o make_v his_o charity_n not_o only_o according_a to_o the_o proverb_n to_o begin_v at_o home_n but_o to_o end_v at_o

a_o double_a extreme_a the_o one_o in_o that_o opinion_n of_o erastus_n that_o will_v have_v no_o other_o government_n in_o the_o church_n but_o that_o of_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n and_o his_o

without_o question_n he_o be_v to_o do_v nothing_o to_o hinder_v the_o preach_n and_o spread_v the_o gospel_n within_o his_o dominion_n for_o the_o true_a gospel_n have_v a_o right_a to_o be_v
