so_o do_v contradict_v myself_o or_o must_v answer_v my_o own_o argument_n for_o proof_n of_o the_o first_o he_o tell_v that_o many_o magistrate_n have_v be_v or_o may_v be_v uncapable_a to_o judge_v in_o civil_a matter_n as_o well_o as_o religion_n as_o also_o have_v do_v unjustice_n in_o their_o judgement_n answ._n true_a but_o all_o this_o will_v no_o way_n infer_v his_o conclusion_n because_o they_o still_o have_v that_o which_o be_v needful_a to_o the_o be_v of_o magistracy_n that_o be_v be_v due_o to_o constitute_v for_o of_o usurper_n we_o do_v not_o here_o speak_v however_o they_o may_v want_v these_o quality_n which_o may_v more_o accomplish_v they_o in_o their_o employment_n or_o that_o they_o may_v err_v in_o the_o administration_n of_o it_o but_o christianity_n and_o consequent_o to_o judge_v in_o matter_n of_o religion_n do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o pertain_v to_o the_o esse_fw-la or_o being_n of_o a_o magistrate_n for_o if_o it_o do_v no_o man_n can_v ever_o have_v be_v or_o yet_o can_v be_v a_o true_a magistrate_n or_o aught_o to_o be_v so_o own_v unless_o a_o christian_n which_o i_o suppose_v john_n brown_n will_v not_o adventur_v to_o affirm_v or_o if_o he_o do_v he_o will_v manifest_o contradict_v the_o doctrine_n as_o well_o as_o practise_v of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n who_o preach_v subjection_n and_o be_v themselves_o subject_a to_o such_o magistrate_n as_o be_v enemy_n to_o christianity_n if_o then_o a_o magistrate_n may_v be_v true_o a_o magistrate_n and_o aught_o by_o christian_n to_o be_v acknowledge_v and_o submit_v to_o as_o such_o who_o be_v not_o a_o christian_a to_o deny_v to_o magistrate_n that_o power_n of_o judgement_n which_o they_o can_v only_o have_v as_o be_v christian_n will_v not_o necessary_o take_v

though_o he_o may_v be_v a_o better_a for_o albeit_o as_o he_o obseru_v father_n be_v desire_v to_o instruct_v their_o child_n which_o pagan_a father_n can_v not_o do_v yet_o they_o be_v not_o more_o

he_o judge_v so_o will_v do_v well_o to_o prove_v it_o by_o scripture_n ¶_o 4._o the_o reason_n of_o his_o second_o objection_n be_v because_o a_o church_n may_v err_v in_o their_o judgement_n be_v defective_a as_o he_o suppose_v the_o magistrate_n in_o the_o former_a objection_n and_o so_o may_v condemn_v truth_n for_o error_n but_o how_o weak_a this_o be_v be_v very_o apparent_a for_o if_o

stranger_n to_o yea_o a_o enemy_n and_o persecutor_n of_o christianity_n as_o i_o do_v he_o in_o the_o case_n of_o magistracy_n he_o will_v say_v something_o but_o other_o way_n nothing_o at_o all_o next_o the_o censur_n of_o a_o church_n however_o he_o seem_v to_o judge_v otherwise_o can_v not_o be_v call_v force_v of_o conscience_n in_o the_o sense_n i_o grant_v it_o which_o be_v only_o for_o to_o deny_v the_o person_n censure_v their_o spiritual_a fellowship_n since_o he_o himself_o by_o his_o differ_v from_o they_o break_v it_o off_o as_o in_o my_o book_n entitle_v the_o anarchy_n of_o
