therefore_o with_o the_o great_a frankness_n and_o ingenuity_n lay_v open_a my_o sense_n of_o this_o matter_n with_o the_o reason_n that_o prevail_v with_o i_o in_o it_o but_o i_o desire_v first_o to_o hear_v isotimus_n his_o opinion_n about_o it_o isot._n i_o do_v not_o deny_v the_o king_n have_v authority_n and_o jurisdiction_n in_o matter_n sacred_a but_o it_o must_v be_v assert_v in_o a_o due_a line_n of_o subordination_n first_o to_o christ_n the_o king_n of_o king_n and_o the_o only_a head_n of_o his_o church_n and_o next_o to_o the_o ruler_n and_o office-bearer_n of_o the_o church_n who_o be_v entrust_v by_o christ_n as_o his_o ambassador_n with_o the_o soul_n of_o their_o flock_n and_o who_o must_v give_v he_o a_o account_n of_o their_o labour_n therefore_o they_o must_v have_v their_o rule_n only_o from_o he_o who_o empower_v they_o and_o to_o who_o they_o be_v subject_a they_o must_v also_o have_v a_o power_n among_o they_o to_o preserve_v the_o christian_a society_n in_o order_n to_o which_o they_o must_v according_a to_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n when_o difficulty_n emerge_n meet_v together_o and_o consult_v what_o may_v be_v for_o the_o advancement_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n and_o whoso_o refuse_v to_o hear_v the_o church_n when_o she_o err_v not_o from_o her_o rule_n he_o be_v to_o be_v account_v no_o better_a than_o a_o heathen_a and_o a_o publican_n and_o since_o the_o church_n be_v call_v one_o body_n they_o ought_v to_o associate_v together_o in_o meeting_n see_v also_o they_o have_v their_o power_n of_o christ_n as_o mediator_n whereas_o the_o civil_a power_n hold_v of_o he_o as_o he_o be_v god_n they_o have_v a_o different_a tenor_n distinct_a end_n and_o various_a rule_n therefore_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n be_v among_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n which_o only_o belong_v to_o he_o and_o indeed_o christian_n be_v very_o ill_o provide_v for_o by_o christ_n if_o they_o must_v in_o matter_n of_o religion_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o secular_a and_o carnal_a man_n who_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o serve_v their_o own_o interest_n at_o the_o rate_n of_o the_o ruin_n of_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v sacred_a it_o be_v true_a the_o civil_a power_n may_v and_o aught_o to_o convocate_v synod_n to_o consult_v about_o matter_n of_o religion_n to_o require_v churchman_n to_o do_v their_o duty_n to_o add_v their_o sanction_n to_o church_n law_n and_o to_o join_v with_o the_o sound_a part_n for_o carry_v on_o a_o reformation_n but_o all_o this_o be_v cumulative_a to_o the_o church_n intrinsic_a power_n and_o not_o privative_a so_o that_o if_o the_o magistrate_n fall_v short_a of_o his_o duty_n they_o be_v notwithstanding_o that_o to_o go_v on_o as_o man_n empower_v by_o jesus_n christ_n

find_v what_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o conspiracy_n be_v since_o the_o text_n tax_v only_o the_o time_n but_o not_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o and_o for_o the_o instance_n of_o uzziah_n the_o priest_n indeed_o withstand_v he_o as_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v as_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n ought_v yet_o to_o do_v if_o a_o king_n will_v go_v and_o consecrate_v the_o lord_n supper_n but_o their_o withstand_v of_o that_o import_v no_o violent_a opposition_n the_o strict_a signification_n of_o the_o word_n be_v only_o that_o they_o place_v themselves_o over_o against_o he_o and_o
