all_o civil_a magistracy_n in_o the_o world_n be_v mere_o and_o essential_o civil_a and_o that_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n can_v true_o take_v cognisance_n of_o nothing_o as_o a_o civil_a

partake_v more_o of_o christ_n spirit_n have_v more_o of_o christ_n power_n whatever_o his_o outward_a condition_n be_v 2._o by_o the_o last_o will_n and_o testament_n of_o christ_n jesus_n we_o find_v not_o the_o least_o title_n of_o commission_n to_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n as_o civil_a to_o judge_v and_o act_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o his_o spiritual_a kingdom_n 3._o that_o great_a
