those_o country_n through_o which_o they_o be_v to_o pass_v for_o the_o propagation_n of_o christianity_n our_o saviour_n do_v never_o intend_v to_o tie_v all_o his_o disciple_n hand_n and_o expose_v they_o naked_a to_o be_v invade_v and_o assault_v by_o any_o one_o that_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o it_o to_o oppose_v force_n against_o unjust_a force_n be_v allow_v to_o every_o man_n by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n which_o natural_a right_n our_o religion_n have_v not_o cancel_v nor_o restrain_v provide_v always_o that_o we_o thus_o draw_v our_o sword_n only_o against_o private_a person_n and_o not_o against_o those_o who_o have_v warrant_n or_o command_n of_o public_a authority_n to_o vouch_v their_o force_n against_o we_o and_o that_o it_o be_v in_o such_o case_n of_o extremity_n where_o we_o can_v defend_v ourselves_o by_o the_o regular_a course_n of_o call_v in_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o law_n or_o magistrate_n nay_o further_o in_o the_o very_a word_n of_o my_o text_n our_o saviour_n do_v express_o allow_v the_o use_n of_o the_o sword_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o supreme_a power_n or_o by_o commission_n and_o authority_n from_o it_o for_o when_o he_o say_v they_o shall_v perish_v by_o the_o sword_n he_o mean_v by_o the_o sword_n of_o the_o magistrate_n which_o shall_v just_o cut_v off_o such_o offender_n thus_o from_o the_o word_n themselves_o we_o have_v sufficient_a evidence_n that_o our_o saviour_n do_v not_o forbid_v the_o use_n of_o the_o sword_n either_o in_o our_o own_o necessary_a defence_n or_o at_o the_o command_n and_o direction_n of_o the_o supreme_a governor_n in_o which_o two_o case_n only_o it_o be_v ever_o lawful_a for_o private_a person_n and_o in_o this_o matter_n the_o law_n of_o our_o religion_n have_v make_v no_o alteration_n we_o may_v still_o defend_v ourselves_o by_o the_o sword_n from_o the_o unjust_a assault_n of_o private_a person_n when_o we_o have_v no_o other_o remedy_n and_o the_o sovereign_n of_o every_o

have_v from_o the_o beginning_n since_o man_n first_o enter_v into_o society_n and_o live_v under_o government_n our_o saviour_n therefore_o in_o my_o text_n forbid_v the_o use_n of_o the_o sword_n only_o on_o that_o particular_a occasion_n or_o the_o like_a on_o which_o it_o be_v draw_v by_o st._n peter_n which_o be_v this_o a_o great_a company_n of_o soldier_n and_o other_o officer_n from_o
