hand_n in_o blood_n and_o blindness_n together_o the_o clergy_n must_v preach_v up_o magistracy_n and_o the_o sword_n of_o authority_n must_v seem_v heathenish_a if_o he_o do_v not_o only_o protect_v

have_v coin_a many_o or_o at_o least_o will_v mix_v these_o two_o into_o one_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n for_o to_o rule_v man_n as_o the_o moon_n by_o night_n and_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n jesus_n to_o saint_n as_o the_o sun_n by_o day_n the_o interest_n of_o antichrist_n have_v be_v to_o marry_v these_o to_o one_o another_o that_o they_o may_v engender_v a_o

by_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n so_o call_v for_o say_v the_o magistrate_n my_o sword_n shall_v force_v differ_v conscience_n to_o that_o form_n of_o form_n of_o knowledge_n or_o church-government_n which_o i_o judge_v most_o agreeable_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o clergy_n also_o solicit_v the_o magistrate_n to_o strike_v they_o with_o the_o fist_n of_o punishment_n who_o they_o think_v erroneous_a in_o their_o judgement_n moreover_o when_o these_o two_o concur_v in_o opinion_n than_o be_v always_o the_o best_a people_n the_o world_n have_v persecute_v as_o heretic_n as_o schismatic_n and_o unsound_a but_o when_o these_o differ_v and_o vary_v upon_o humoursome_a and_o ambitious_a ground_n thence_o also_o come_v forth_o treason_n war_n jealousy_n combination_n and_o evil_a concussion_n in_o state_n and_o commonwealth_n and_o just_o it_o be_v with_o god_n to_o let_v they_o both_o magistracy_n and_o ministry_n thus_o to_o wrangle_v to_o much_o blood_n in_o the_o dark_a when_o both_o mistake_v their_o own_o bound_n or_o neglect_v their_o proper_a respective_a charge_n now_o when_o i_o say_v that_o a_o magistrate_n as_o he_o be_v a_o magistrate_n have_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o do_v with_o the_o regulate_v of_o man_n opinion_n and_o conscience_n i_o find_v he_o allow_v and_o stint_v to_o his_o own_o statute-booke_n which_o be_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o i_o challenge_v that_o magistrate_n or_o officer_n of_o state_n to_o answer_v that_o have_v learn_v the_o measure_n of_o the_o circumference_n of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n though_o he_o shall_v as_o man_n attain_v to_o know_v his_o own_o nature_n in_o particular_a and_o yet_o where_o be_v the_o man_n that_o have_v know_v himself_o in_o all_o natural_n now_o the_o great_a law_n of_o nature_n be_v but_o in_o part_n express_v in_o the_o judicial_a law_n of_o moses_n and_o not_o fashion_v in_o all_o particular_n to_o all_o nation_n but_o let_v the_o magistrate_n study_v this_o law_n that_o take_v notice_n even_o of_o man_n long_a hair_n as_o paul_n say_v and_o he_o shall_v find_v
that_o drunkenness_n fornication_n idleness_n turbulence_n oppression_n wrong_n slander_n theft_n murder_n riot_n rantisme_n prophane-oath_n curse_n tipling_n yea_o and_o profanation_n of_o the_o first_o day_n and_o impose_v peremptory_o a_o worship_n upon_o other_o and_o blasphemy_n also_o be_v all_o judge_v and_o condemn_v by_o the_o light_n of_o the_o very_a law_n of_o nature_n and_o a_o magistrate_n need_v not_o yea_o he_o may_v not_o take_v cognisance_n qua_fw-la magistrate_n of_o any_o other_o law_n to_o judge_v and_o punish_v by_o hereby_o he_o become_v all_o thing_n to_o all_o man_n for_o good_a but_o convict_v they_o of_o evil_n out_o of_o their_o own_o mouth_n out_o of_o their_o own_o conscience_n if_o he_o himself_o be_v ingenious_a comprehensive_a and_o blameless_a but_o where_o can_v be_v find_v a_o magistrate_n as_o yet_o that_o do_v not_o himself_o transgress_v in_o many_o thing_n even_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n now_o when_o minister_n as_o spiritual_a man_n take_v this_o natural_a law_n into_o their_o hand_n they_o be_v true_o antichrist_n and_o deal_v with_o wrong_a weapon_n for_o the_o spiritual_a armour_n on_o the_o right_n and_o left_a hand_n be_v sufficient_a for_o they_o in_o god_n so_o when_o the_o magistrate_n so_o presume_v on_o spiritual_a to_o drive_v on_o and_o impose_v as_o a_o magistrate_n his_o judgement_n of_o religion_n upon_o other_o conscience_n though_o as_o a_o christian_a he_o may_v do_v it_o and_o aught_o to_o the_o uttermost_a he_o also_o fight_v against_o christ_n and_o intermeddle_v in_o that_o which_o belong_v not_o to_o he_o as_o magistrate_n to_o his_o danger_n or_o ruin_n 9_o now_o though_o there_o be_v six_o sort_n of_o magistrate_n according_a to_o isaiah_n the_o prophet_n in_o the_o world_n the_o golden_a magistrate_n the_o silver_n the_o brazen_a the_o iron_n the_o wooden_a and_o the_o stony_a magistrate_n and_o also_o lawful_a for_o a_o man_n send_v of_o god_n to_o tell_v the_o magistrate_n his_o condition_n as_o also_o for_o he_o to_o deal_v with_o such_o a_o man_n again_o in_o love_n with_o seriousness_n and_o as_o man_n and_o brethren_n not_o encroach_a but_o speak_v to_o the_o man_n conscience_n so_o let_v both_o endeavour_n in_o the_o faith_n and_o love_n of_o christ_n to_o get_v out_o of_o the_o iron_n or_o wooden_a or_o stony_a state_n to_o that_o which_o be_v more_o excellent_a in_o their_o generation_n but_o still_o bear_v in_o mind_n that_o until_o both_o these_o act_n distinct_o and_o apart_o in_o their_o proper_a sphere_n &_o well_o acknowledge_v that_o each_o have_v task_n enough_o impose_v on_o he_o by_o his_o own_o proper_a law_n there_o shall_v i_o say_v again_o there_o may_v be_v no_o true_a last_a settlement_n in_o any_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n for_o while_o the_o state_n bow_v to_o the_o church_n so_o call_v or_o the_o church_n representative_a to_o curry_v favour_n with_o the_o state_n in_o flattery_n and_o much_o hypocrisy_n the_o family_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n will_v be_v toss_v as_o a_o ship_n in_o a_o tempest_n not_o that_o the_o one_o be_v to_o be_v superior_a to_o the_o other_o but_o both_o be_v good_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n as_o far_o as_o they_o keep_v their_o place_n and_o well_o use_v their_o talent_n wherefore_o o_o you_o magistrate_n minister_n and_o people_n as_o you_o love_v your_o soul_n and_o peace_n with_o truth_n and_o righteousness_n lay_v this_o one_o distinction_n to_o heart_n that_o you_o may_v no_o further_o feel_v yoke_n of_o misery_n upon_o your_o neck_n nor_o confusion_n difference_n desolation_n &_o calamity_n for_o no_o peace_n everlasting_a be_v there_o till_o you_o come_v to_o the_o bottom_n of_o peace_n in_o god_n the_o root_n of_o all_o study_v therefore_o yourselves_o and_o how_o that_o christ_n be_v in_o you_o unless_o you_o be_v reprobate_n a_o light_n of_o heaven_n that_o show_v man_n what_o be_v good_a he_o do_v not_o say_v that_o a_o magistrate_n shall_v forbear_v to_o take_v his_o liberty_n as_o a_o know_a christian_a man_n as_o before_z assert_v to_o convince_v man_n conscience_n to_o promote_v and_o zealous_o promulgate_v the_o truth_n as_o far_o as_o he_o know_v it_o by_o the_o force_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o by_o that_o only_a this_o he_o must_v do_v if_o he_o be_v a_o sanctify_a one_o as_o a_o saint_n but_o as_o a_o magistrate_n he_o must_v act_v only_o by_o that_o law_n that_o accuse_v man_n of_o his_o evil_n and_o commend_v he_o for_o good_a or_o may_v and_o shall_v convince_v he_o in_o his_o own_o cogitation_n again_o therefore_o i_o say_v let_v magistrate_n as_o man_n study_v the_o law_n of_o man_n and_o fulfil_v it_o too_o and_o they_o shall_v be_v bless_v in_o their_o work_n 10._o
