both_o these_o question_n the_o answer_n be_v most_o plain_o this_o that_o we_o must_v do_v it_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o law_n of_o god_n which_o do_v enjoin_v we_o for_o conscience_n towards_o

of_o necessity_n must_v suffer_v or_o transgress_v when_o he_o add_v that_o no_o such_o power_n be_v lodge_v in_o the_o prerogative_n as_o to_o destroy_v man_n contrary_a to_o law_n it_o be_v as_o true_a that_o no_o such_o power_n be_v lodge_v in_o the_o supremacy_n as_o to_o destroy_v man_n contrary_a to_o god_n law_n or_o even_o to_o make_v a_o law_n which_o contradict_v the_o divine_a law_n and_o therefore_o no_o such_o power_n be_v give_v they_o from_o god_n as_o to_o destroy_v the_o christian_a for_o the_o profession_n of_o christianity_n or_o for_o obey_v god_n reveal_v will_n or_o

be_v not_o therefore_o any_o authority_n which_o god_n have_v give_v to_o the_o prince_n to_o punish_v man_n for_o do_v well_o that_o bind_v the_o christian_a thus_o to_o suffer_v but_o the_o plain_a
