the_o church_n of_o god_n do_v come_v too_o near_o to_o the_o formality_n of_o anti-christianism_a antiochus_n epiphanes_n in_o the_o prophecy_n of_o daniel_n be_v describe_v as_o a_o mighty_a king_n

that_o we_o may_v speak_v more_o distinct_o in_o a_o matter_n of_o so_o great_a moment_n we_o do_v desire_v to_o lay_v down_o this_o necessary_a caution_n in_o the_o beginning_n let_v we_o then_o

provide_v that_o whatsoever_o be_v transact_v in_o they_o be_v according_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n in_o this_o sense_n we_o may_v not_o doubt_v to_o say_v that_o the_o chief_a magistrate_n in_o

this_o we_o take_v to_o be_v the_o lawful_a exercise_n of_o the_o power_n three_o there_o be_v the_o hyperbole_n or_o excess_n of_o the_o power_n when_o the_o magistrate_n be_v not_o content_v with_o

the_o formality_n of_o antichristianism_n for_o antichrist_n be_v say_v to_o sit_v in_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n show_v himself_o that_o he_o be_v god_n if_o therefore_o the_o supreme_a magistrate_n
