cotton_n and_o myself_o concern_v the_o civil_a magistrate_n commission_n in_o spiritual_n i_o humble_o conceive_v 1._o that_o in_o these_o late_a year_n god_n have_v make_v it_o evident_a that_o all_o civil_a magistracy_n in_o the_o world_n be_v mere_o and_o essential_o civil_a and_o that_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n can_v true_o take_v cognisance_n of_o nothing_o as_o a_o civil_a

partake_v more_o of_o christ_n spirit_n have_v more_o of_o christ_n power_n whatever_o his_o outward_a condition_n be_v 2._o by_o the_o last_o will_n and_o testament_n of_o christ_n jesus_n we_o find_v not_o the_o least_o title_n of_o commission_n to_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n as_o civil_a to_o judge_v and_o act_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o his_o spiritual_a kingdom_n 3._o that_o great_a pretence_n from_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n and_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n and_o judah_n have_v be_v in_o these_o late_a year_n prove_v but_o weak_a and_o sandy_a and_o the_o lord_n jesus_n

saint_n although_o it_o be_v the_o saint_n duty_n to_o pray_v for_o magistrate_n that_o they_o may_v live_v peaceable_o under_o they_o in_o all_o godliness_n and_o honesty_n jer._n 29._o and_o 1_o

our_o father_n before_o we_o in_o england_n though_o famous_a for_o civil_a law_n and_o war_n and_o victory_n yet_o have_v they_o but_o tread_v the_o round_a and_o walk_v in_o a_o circle_n plant_n
