be_v obey_v now_o what_o answer_n will_v a_o man_n give_v to_o this_o certain_o that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v to_o be_v obey_v before_o those_o of_o man_n that_o the_o christian_a religion_n though_o it_o oblige_v to_o obey_v god_n be_v not_o destructive_a of_o government_n because_o it_o command_v obedience_n to_o the_o high_a power_n that_o therefore_o no_o good_a christian_n can_v or_o

peace_n and_o will_v thereupon_o seek_v all_o due_a and_o possible_a mean_n of_o information_n and_o if_o it_o still_o appear_v that_o the_o church_n require_v his_o obedience_n where_o his_o
