A81829	The povver of the Christian magistrate in sacred things Delivered in some positions, sent to a friend, upon which, a returne of his opinion was desired. With some considerations, upon the answer; and a digression concerning allegiance, and submission to the supreame magistrate. By Lewis du Moulin, History-reader of the University of Oxford.

it_o be_v easy_a for_o moses_n to_o oversee_v they_o but_o under_o those_o magistrate_n who_o shall_v condescend_v to_o a_o divide_a and_o distinct_a jurisdiction_n one_o be_v civil_a and_o exercise_v by_o themselves_o the_o other_o ecclesiastical_a and_o of_o divine_a right_a belong_v to_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o that_o case_n i_o do_v conceive_v that_o few_o bishop_n set_v
