A33531	English-law, or, A summary survey of the houshold of God on earth and that both before and under the law, and that both of Moses and the Lord Jesus : historically opening the purity and apostacy of believers in the successions of ages, to this present : together with an essay of Christian government under the regiment of our Lord and King, the one immortal, invisible, infinite, eternal, universal prince, the Prince of Peace, Emmanuel.

just_o and_o how_o to_o be_v choose_v qualification_n necessary_a in_o judge_n who_o be_v to_o be_v their_o elector_n judge_n duty_n and_o default_n how_o to_o be_v punish_v and_o in_o they_o

judicial_a place_n this_o be_v fit_a that_o the_o judge_n have_v his_o salary_n set_v his_o public_a fee_n from_o the_o prince_n or_o state_n now_o in_o this_o one_o word_n to_o this_o purpose_n

his_o salary_n at_o least_o as_o a_o fee_n there_o be_v much_o scandal_n at_o this_o day_n in_o christian_a commonwealth_n concern_v bribery_n in_o turkey_n it_o be_v no_o wonder_n though_o till_o

therefore_o it_o be_v requisite_a to_o have_v this_o wound_n search_v to_o the_o bottom_n some_o for_o this_o case_n have_v be_v so_o strict_a that_o they_o will_v not_o admire_v a_o judge_n to_o
