to_o enforce_v and_o put_v in_o execution_n the_o law_n of_o god_n this_o principle_n certain_o take_v from_o he_o part_v of_o his_o authority_n and_o right_n and_o it_o be_v very_o apt_a in_o its_o

he_o to_o do_v so_o it_o require_v the_o magistrate_n to_o make_v law_n not_o according_a to_o the_o light_n and_o wisdom_n and_o justice_n or_o goodness_n of_o his_o own_o conscience_n but_o will_v

it_o we_o must_v not_o present_o condemn_v those_o undertake_n of_o the_o prince_n as_o foolish_a or_o ill_o manage_v which_o do_v not_o succeed_v well_o success_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n

have_v not_o their_o desire_a success_n it_o be_v more_o just_a and_o reasonable_a that_o the_o people_n blame_v themselves_o than_o that_o they_o shall_v blame_v or_o censure_v he_o they_o may_v just_o suspect_v their_o offence_n of_o almighty_a god_n do_v provoke_v he_o to_o give_v disappointment_n to_o wise_a and_o well_o manage_v design_n when_o these_o do_v not_o evident_o appear_v to_o
