of_o a_o magistrate_n be_v see_v or_o consider_v either_o in_o peace_n or_o war_n 19_o in_o the_o time_n of_o peace_n let_v he_o administer_v justice_n and_o judgement_n 20_o by_o justice_n we_o

abroad_o he_o may_v and_o must_v punish_v those_o which_o be_v seducer_n of_o soul_n especial_o such_o as_o be_v seditious_a he_o may_v and_o must_v hinder_v the_o profanation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n 23_o but_o yet_o he_o must_v not_o take_v upon_o he_o authority_n and_o power_n over_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n whereof_o god_n only_o be_v king_n 24_o therefore_o neither_o must_v the_o magistrate_n compel_v the_o subject_n to_o any_o false_a religion_n neither_o must_v the_o subject_n obey_v if_o he_o go_v about_o to_o compel_v they_o 25_o unto_o the_o administration_n of_o

easy_o gather_v what_o we_o may_v determine_v in_o the_o question_n about_o usury_n 28_o the_o scripture_n simple_o forbid_v usury_n but_o what_o be_v contract_n of_o usury_n that_o we_o must_v learn_v from_o the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v charity_n and_o from_o the_o description_n of_o the_o prohibition_n as_o also_o from_o the_o incorrupt_a judgement_n of_o the_o prudent_a 29_o by_o the_o name_n of_o judgement_n foremention_v we_o understand_v the_o defend_n of_o the_o good_a and_o the_o punish_n of_o those_o which_o do_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a rom._n 13.4_o 30_o to_o

likewise_o extreme_a indulgence_n and_o remissness_n do_v dull_a the_o edge_n of_o the_o law_n and_o much_o diminish_v the_o power_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o magistrate_n 36_o here_o a_o
