with_o infidel_n magistrate_n and_o have_v not_o we_o then_o great_a reason_n to_o think_v ourselves_o happy_a that_o we_o be_v not_o under_o the_o power_n of_o popish_a one_o will_v popish_a judge_n

to_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o church_n have_v great_a reason_n to_o forbid_v they_o go_v to_o law_n before_o the_o unbeliever_n and_o make_v their_o appeal_n to_o the_o bar_n of_o heathen_a judge_n in_o which_o prohibition_n he_o may_v be_v conceive_v to_o have_v have_v respect_n to_o a_o common_a and_o know_v say_v among_o the_o jew_n viz._n that_o he_o who_o prosecute_v a_o israelite_n at_o the_o tribunal_n of_o the_o gentile_n profane_v the_o name_n of_o god_n beside_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n far_o to_o be_v consider_v in_o the_o case_n namely_o that_o the_o heathen_a judge_n be_v already_o sufficient_o prejudice_v against_o the_o christian_n when_o they_o have_v they_o in_o their_o power_n by_o have_v they_o at_o their_o bar_n they_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o treat_v they_o with_o the_o utmost_a rigour_n and_o severity_n nay_o moreover_o they_o by_o be_v heathen_n and_o unbeliever_n may_v be_v presume_v to_o be_v also_o unjust_a in_o the_o strict_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n like_o the_o unjust_a judge_n in_o the_o gospel_n who_o neither_o fear_v god_n nor_o regard_v man_n luke_n 18.2_o and_o then_o what_o justice_n or_o equity_n can_v the_o poor_a christian_n expect_v from_o they_o and_o therefore_o st._n paul_n have_v good_a reason_n to_o say_v unto_o they_o dare_v any_o of_o you_o have_v a_o matter_n against_o another_o go_v to_o law_n before_o the_o unjust_a and_o not_o before_o the_o saint_n rather_o there_o may_v be_v also_o another_o reason_n why_o he_o forbid_v they_o to_o appeal_v to_o heathen_a judge_n and_o that_o be_v because_o it_o reflect_v upon_o the_o wisdom_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n and_o look_v as_o if_o none_o of_o themselves_o be_v worthy_a of_o or_o fit_v for_o such_o a_o honour_n therefore_o say_v he_o bring_v not_o your_o cause_n to_o be_v try_v before_o the_o infidel_n give_v they_o not_o that_o occasion_n to_o triumph_n and_o exult_v over_o you_o but_o if_o you_o must_v go_v to_o law_n let_v it_o be_v do_v before_o the_o saint_n and_o this_o prohibition_n we_o must_v look_v upon_o to_o concern_v chief_o the_o plaintiff_n who_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o sue_v and_o not_o to_o belong_v to_o the_o defendant_n who_o if_o prosecute_v be_v bind_v to_o stand_v to_o trial_n second_o and_o thus_o i_o come_v in_o the_o second_o place_n to_o consider_v the_o reason_n which_o our_o apostle_n give_v why_o a_o christian_a may_v be_v a_o judge_n why_o he_o shall_v undertake_v the_o office_n of_o a_o civil_a magistrate_n for_o although_o there_o need_v no_o reason_n to_o be_v give_v for_o it_o the_o thing_n itself_o be_v so_o very_o evident_a and_o plain_a the_o general_a practice_n whereof_o declare_v its_o reasonableness_n and_o necessity_n too_o yet_o that_o which_o the_o apostle_n give_v be_v a_o very_a considerable_a one_o and_o deserve_v our_o particular_a remark_n and_o that_o be_v because_o the_o saint_n shall_v judge_v the_o world_n yea_o even_a angel_n themselves_o for_o do_v you_o not_o know_v say_v he_o that_o the_o saint_n shall_v judge_v the_o world_n and_o if_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v judge_v by_o you_o be_v you_o unworthy_a to_o judge_v the_o small_a matter_n know_v you_o not_o that_o we_o shall_v judge_v angel_n how_o much_o more_o thing_n that_o pertain_v to_o this_o life_n now_o the_o proper_a signification_n of_o saint_n be_v man_n of_o holiness_n such_o as_o be_v all_o the_o faithful_a servant_n of_o god_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n such_o as_o all_o under_o the_o new_a be_v suppose_v or_o require_v to_o be_v and_o be_v that_o all_o christian_n be_v call_v unto_o a_o holy_a call_v and_o without_o great_a and_o apparent_a reason_n to_o the_o contrary_a aught_o in_o charity_n to_o be_v presume_v to_o live_v answerable_o to_o their_o call_v therefore_o they_o may_v very_o well_o be_v account_v and_o call_v saint_n and_o although_o it_o be_v true_a that_o not_o all_o who_o be_v call_v saint_n shall_v hereafter_o judge_v the_o world_n but_o they_o only_a who_o have_v live_v according_a to_o that_o call_v yet_o if_o any_o shall_v the_o argument_n hold_v good_a that_o therefore_o they_o may_v be_v judge_n and_o magistrate_n here_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o which_o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a that_o we_o shall_v consider_v what_o kind_n of_o judicature_n the_o saint_n shall_v exercise_v and_o in_o what_o sense_n they_o may_v be_v say_v to_o judge_v now_o although_o there_o may_v be_v several_a way_n whereby_o this_o may_v be_v understand_v yet_o wave_v all_o the_o rest_n as_o think_v it_o needless_a to_o trouble_v you_o with_o a_o particular_a enumeration_n and_o discussion_n of_o they_o i_o shall_v at_o present_a mention_n but_o one_o as_o be_v most_o plain_a and_o natural_a and_o most_o apposite_a to_o what_o st._n paul_n intend_v and_o that_o be_v this_o viz._n that_o when_o our_o lord_n christ_n who_o by_o god_n appointment_n be_v design_v to_o be_v the_o supreme_a judge_n of_o all_o the_o world_n when_o he_o shall_v descend_v from_o heaven_n at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n to_o judge_v the_o quick_a and_o the_o dead_a the_o saint_n of_o god_n shall_v first_o be_v judge_v and_o absolve_v themselves_o and_o then_o be_v assume_v as_o assessor_n unto_o he_o and_o bear_v he_o company_n in_o judge_v and_o condemn_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n that_o be_v to_o say_v all_o wicked_a man_n and_o all_o apostate_n angel_n this_o explication_n seem_v to_o be_v the_o most_o reasonable_a and_o be_v what_o the_o best_a expositor_n be_v agree_v upon_o and_o which_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o what_o our_o saviour_n say_v to_o his_o own_o apostle_n when_o he_o tell_v they_o that_o when_o he_o the_o son_n of_o man_n shall_v sit_v in_o the_o throne_n of_o his_o glory_n they_o also_o shall_v sit_v on_o twelve_o throne_n judge_v the_o twelve_o tribe_n of_o israel_n mat._n 19.28_o now_o if_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n if_o christian_n who_o have_v live_v here_o according_a to_o their_o holy_a profession_n if_o they_o in_o the_o great_a and_o final_a judgement_n of_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v vouchsafe_v that_o honour_n as_o to_o be_v assessor_n with_o christ_n and_o to_o sit_v in_o judgement_n with_o he_o on_o the_o wicked_a world_n if_o they_o shall_v have_v any_o thing_n to_o do_v in_o matter_n of_o so_o high_a importance_n they_o may_v reasonable_o enough_o be_v account_v worthy_a to_o have_v the_o judgement_n of_o inferior_a thing_n commit_v to_o their_o trust_n well_o may_v they_o take_v upon_o they_o the_o power_n and_o

st._n paul_n give_v why_o a_o christian_a may_v be_v a_o judge_n why_o he_o shall_v undertake_v the_o office_n of_o a_o civil_a magistrate_n and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o who_o be_v yet_o unsatisfied_a with_o it_o if_o there_o be_v still_o any_o so_o unreasonable_a as_o not_o to_o admit_v of_o a_o legal_a magistracy_n among_o christian_n other_o reason_n there_o be_v not_o unworthy_a our_o consideration_n that_o may_v be_v allege_v for_o it_o for_o 1_o sy_n we_o find_v it_o no_o where_o mention_v in_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n that_o so_o high_a and_o useful_a a_o call_v be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o profession_n of_o it_o and_o if_o it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o a_o christian_n to_o bear_v that_o office_n we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o either_o christ_n himself_o or_o some_o of_o his_o apostle_n will_v have_v express_o forbid_v it_o which_o be_v they_o have_v no_o where_o do_v we_o can_v but_o conclude_v their_o censure_n rash_a and_o foolish_a who_o do_v condemn_v it_o nay_o so_o far_o be_v the_o christian_a religion_n from_o interdict_v it_o to_o christian_n that_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n in_o it_o which_o make_v manifest_o for_o it_o all_o civil_a

to_o be_v no_o christian_a magistrate_n or_o governor_n or_o judge_n among_o christian_n they_o must_v then_o either_o be_v expose_v to_o all_o the_o confusion_n and_o disorder_n which_o a_o
