and_o this_o appear_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o christian_a magistrate_n so_o long_o as_o lawful_a authority_n stand_v up_o without_o confusion_n in_o the_o world_n but_o here_o we_o consider_v the_o

this_o one_o poor_a distinction_n between_o these_o two_o power_n now_o the_o distinction_n be_v apparent_a because_o in_o spiritual_a government_n there_o be_v no_o coactive_a power_n but_o in_o
