gospel_n not_o mighty_a through_o god_n but_o mighty_a through_o the_o magistrate_n power_n and_o whole_o to_o alter_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o all_o its_o institution_n it_o be_v to_o

to_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n we_o have_v see_v that_o the_o power_n of_o a_o heathen_a and_o a_o christian_a magistrate_n differ_v nothing_o at_o all_o in_o kind_n a_o heathen_a magistrate_n have_v

the_o heathen_n homer_n tell_v we_o of_o prince_n and_o hero_n that_o sacrifice_v and_o perform_v the_o worship_n to_o the_o god_n in_o rome_n it_o be_v manifest_o so_o the_o first_o roman_n king_n
