be_v set_v up_o by_o the_o lord_n as_o all_o those_o scripture_n before_o quote_v witness_n and_o so_o our_o magistrate_n may_v and_o aught_o to_o compel_v obedience_n to_o the_o outward_a form_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n in_o relation_n to_o the_o church_n although_o their_o power_n be_v not_o in_o the_o church_n or_o over_o the_o church_n but_o only_a assistant_n to_o the_o church_n than_o they_o may_v command_v obedience_n to_o it_o and_o punish_v those_o that_o despise_v or_o abuse_v it_o yet_o i_o grant_v they_o never_o have_v nor_o shall_v have_v power_n to_o alter_v the_o form_n
