to_o this_o three_o the_o king_n of_o judah_n as_o it_o be_v general_o receive_v have_v a_o peculiar_a notion_n from_o king_n now_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o good_a argument_n from_o they_o to_o these_o for_o they_o have_v not_o only_o a_o civil_a notion_n but_o a_o ecclesiastical_a also_o which_o we_o have_v not_o they_o be_v type_n of_o christ_n the_o king_n of_o the_o church_n and_o do_v

dominion_n and_o stability_n that_o be_v make_v to_o christ_n in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o king_n of_o judah_n and_o to_o bring_v home_o this_o exception_n what_o be_v allege_v to_o be_v do_v by_o

the_o minister_n of_o god_n in_o the_o world_n rule_v indeed_o for_o the_o church_n not_o in_o the_o church_n and_o over_o it_o as_o then_o neither_o be_v they_o anoint_v in_o any_o such_o notion_n

nation_n so_o that_o he_o who_o be_v head_n of_o the_o state_n be_v so_o also_o of_o the_o church_n in_o a_o typical_a way_n as_o he_o that_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n be_v by_o

that_o neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v look_v upon_o under_o such_o a_o notion_n such_o a_o discipline_n be_v not_o applicable_a for_o a_o spiritual_a body_n as_o the_o church_n and_o a_o spiritual_a
