be_v evident_a from_o the_o scripture_n allege_v for_o the_o thing_n which_o paul_n blame_v in_o they_o be_v not_o that_o live_v under_o unbelieve_a magistrate_n they_o submit_v to_o their_o civil_a

the_o danger_n of_o thus_o exalt_v unbeliever_n and_o abase_v the_o saint_n in_o these_o word_n dare_v any_o of_o you_o have_v a_o matter_n against_o another_o be_v judge_v under_o the_o unjust_a and_o not_o under_o the_o saint_n 2._o from_o the_o quality_n of_o unbelieve_a judge_n who_o he_o call_v unjust_a because_o they_o be_v destitute_a of_o the_o righteousness_n that_o be_v by_o faith_n and_o which_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o true_a moral_a justice_n and_o because_o they_o be_v ill-affected_a to_o christian_n and_o to_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n and_o apt_a to_o vex_v they_o injurious_o if_o they_o have_v any_o business_n before_o they_o and_o because_o though_o some_o man_n out_o of_o christ_n may_v be_v find_v civil_o honest_a and_o moral_o just_a as_o be_v also_o some_o heathen_a man_n yet_o you_o can_v have_v no_o assurance_n of_o their_o justice_n see_v this_o be_v the_o genius_n and_o nature_n of_o all_o man_n out_o of_o christ_n to_o be_v unrighteous_a 3._o from_o the_o property_n of_o church-member_n who_o he_o call_v saint_n that_o be_v man_n consecrate_v to_o god_n and_o to_o his_o end_n in_o all_o thing_n for_o so_o they_o be_v

the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o faith_n of_o those_o man_n may_v be_v just_o doubt_v who_o settle_a abode_n be_v in_o a_o place_n where_o church_n be_v gather_v and_o order_v according_a to_o christ_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o after_o a_o convenient_a time_n join_v to_o they_o for_o if_o in_o those_o time_n and_o place_n where_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o reproach_n man_n be_v no_o soon_o
