any_o civil_a magistrate_n for_o now_o under_o the_o gospel_n nothing_o be_v to_o govern_v the_o church_n of_o god_n 2._o calvin_n instit_fw-la l._n 4._o c._n 20._o §._o 1_o 2._o but_o only_o the_o

it_o be_v that_o all_o or_o most_o of_o the_o anabaptist_n cry-down_a all_o external_n form_n and_o order_n of_o church_n polity_n and_o government_n and_o many_o of_o they_o decry_v the_o religious_a use_n of_o any_o outward_a visible_a element_n such_o as_o water_n in_o baptism_n or_o bread_n and_o wine_n in_o the_o eucharist_n because_o now_o we_o be_v to_o be_v baptise_a only_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o now_o we_o be_v only_o to_o eat_v and_o drink_v christ_n body_n and_o blood_n spiritual_o by_o faith_n in_o our_o heart_n and_o not_o carnal_o with_o our_o mouth_n now_o by_o the_o illumination_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n without_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n man_n may_v be_v save_v hence_o it_o be_v 445._o simpson_n ch._n hist_o p._n 445._o

their_o general_n opinion_n be_v that_o the_o supreme_a magistrate_n high_o sin_n when_o he_o make_v law_n and_o order_n for_o the_o outward_a worship_n of_o god_n and_o for_o the_o external_n

all_o be_v to_o vail_v unto_o christ_n sceptre_n of_o grace_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o they_o deny_v prince_n to_o have_v power_n to_o put_v to_o death_n any_o malefactor_n though_o never_o so_o criminal_a and_o if_o any_o of_o their_o faction_n be_v execute_v although_o it_o be_v for_o murder_n treason_n and_o rebellion_n yet_o they_o will_v cry_v out_o of_o persecution_n and_o will_v

that_o according_a to_o his_o duty_n and_o conscience_n he_o resist_v unto_o blood_n the_o anti-gospel_n power_n as_o they_o malicious_o at_o least_o erroneous_o nickname_n all_o civil_a magistracy_n

that_o they_o all_o deny_v to_o take_v a_o oath_n and_o to_o swear_v before_o a_o lawful_a civil_a magistrate_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o take_v the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n as_o that_o they_o will_v not_o so_o much_o as_o take_v the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n so_o that_o the_o king_n have_v from_o these_o man_n no_o other_o security_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o
