reverend_a brother_n must_v either_o prove_v from_o scripture_n that_o christ_n as_o mediator_n have_v give_v such_o a_o commission_n of_o vice-gerent-ship_n and_o deputyship_n to_o the_o christian_a magistrate_n or_o otherwise_o acknowledge_v that_o he_o have_v give_v a_o most_o dangerous_a wound_n to_o magistracy_n and_o make_v it_o a_o empty_a title_n claim_v that_o power_n which_o it_o have_v no_o warrant_n to_o assume_v god_n and_o nature_n have_v make_v magistrate_n and_o give_v they_o great_a authority_n but_o from_o christ_n as_o mediator_n they_o have_v it_o not_o i_o find_v in_o scripture_n that_o church-officer_n have_v their_o power_n from_o christ_n as_o mediator_n and_o they_o be_v to_o manage_v their_o office_n under_o and_o for_o christ_n and_o in_o the_o name_n of_o

anywhere_o give_v such_o a_o commission_n and_o power_n to_o the_o magistrate_n so_o as_o mediator_n he_o have_v it_o not_o to_o give_v for_o he_o be_v not_o make_v a_o judge_n in_o civil_a affair_n

be_v only_o the_o church_n king_n head_n and_o governor_n and_o have_v no_o other_o kingdom_n the_o phatinians_n have_v define_v the_o kingly_a office_n of_o christ_n thus_o it_o be_v a_o office_n

those_o two_o scripture_n which_o the_o brother_n cite_v they_o be_v extreme_o misapply_v he_o cite_v 1_o cor._n 12.28_o to_o prove_v that_o christ_n have_v place_v civil_a government_n in_o his_o

say_v not_o that_o christ_n be_v give_v to_o the_o church_n as_o the_o head_n of_o all_o principality_n and_o power_n the_o brother_n say_v so_o and_o in_o say_v so_o he_o make_v christ_n a_o head_n to_o those_o that_o be_v not_o of_o his_o body_n the_o apostle_n say_v far_o otherwise_o that_o god_n give_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o head_n over_o all_o thing_n to_o the_o church_n which_o be_v his_o

who_o he_o thus_o excel_v the_o apostle_n say_v indeed_o in_o another_o sense_n that_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n of_o all_o principality_n and_o power_n col._n 2.10_o but_o that_o be_v speak_v of_o
