the_o point_n matter_n the_o office_n of_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n in_o ecclesiastical_a matter_n there_o be_v a_o threefold_a office_n of_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n in_o ecclesiastical_a affair_n first_o that_o after_o the_o example_n of_o david_n 1._o chron._n 16.27_o &_o he_o provide_v that_o true_a doctrine_n &_o the_o sincere_a worship_n of_o god_n may_v flourish_v in_o every_o

do_v by_o his_o public_a authority_n approve_v &_o establish_v that_o order_n which_o be_v ordain_v by_o god_n himself_o for_o this_o end_n and_o purpose_n even_o as_o the_o godly_a king_n jehoshaphat_n destroy_v the_o grove_n and_o take_v away_o the_o high_a place_n out_o of_o juda_n and_o send_v his_o noble_n with_o the_o priest_n and_o levite_n through_o all_o his_o kingdom_n with_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n which_o they_o have_v that_o they_o may_v go_v about_o all_o the_o city_n of_o juda_n and_o teach_v the_o same_o to_o all_o the_o people_n 2._o chron._n 17.6_o 32_o so_o also_o ezekias_n send_v letter_n and_o messenger_n into_o all_o israel_n to_o call_v they_o to_o the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n at_o jerusalem_n to_o offer_v the_o passeover_n to_o jehovah_n the_o god_n of_o israel_n 2._o chro._n 30.2_o etc._n etc._n 33_o and_o so_o nehemiah_n cause_v the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n to_o be_v read_v in_o the_o ear_n of_o the_o people_n and_o according_a to_o

only_o by_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n and_o yet_o themselves_o ought_v to_o assist_v and_o defend_v the_o ministry_n with_o their_o presence_n counsel_n protection_n and_o authority_n so_o as_o there_o may_v be_v a_o conjunction_n and_o not_o a_o confusion_n of_o both_o these_o order_n and_o function_n 35_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n and_o counsel_n of_o david_n to_o his_o son_n solomon_n when_o he_o exhort_v he_o to_o the_o care_n and_o charge_n of_o build_v the_o temple_n and_o also_o of_o provide_v for_o the_o holy_a worship_n of_o god_n 1._o chro._n 28.21_o let_v all_o the_o priest_n and_o levit_n be_v with_o thou_o in_o all_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o house_n of_o god_n 36_o the_o sum_n brief_o be_v the_o civil_a magistrate_n be_v the_o keeper_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n for_o so_o much_o as_o concern_v the_o outward_a discipline_n that_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o magistracy_n may_v always_o be_v

have_v make_v we_o able_a minister_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n not_o of_o the_o letter_n but_o of_o the_o spirit_n 38_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n the_o magistrate_n have_v his_o outward_a office_n for_o the_o repress_v of_o all_o scandal_n for_o forbid_v idolatry_n as_o well_o as_o adultery_n and_o murder_n which_o thing_n be_v notable_o manifest_v by_o s._n paul_n say_v

which_o do_v preserve_v discipline_n as_o catechise_n ecclesiastical_a censure_n fast_v etc._n etc._n 36_o furthermore_n we_o must_v beware_v that_o many_o action_n be_v not_o do_v together_o in_o one_o congregation_n which_o may_v mutual_o hinder_v one_o another_o as_o it_o be_v among_o the_o corinthian_n when_o many_o prophet_n speak_v at_o once_o to_o the_o people_n and_o when_o many_o take_v together_o the_o lord_n supper_n some_o of_o they_o be_v drunken_a and_o othersome_a hungry_a 1._o cor._n 11.18_o etc._n etc._n 37_o such_o confusion_n be_v frequent_a and_o usual_a in_o the_o
