do_v so_o for_o however_o you_o have_v put_v it_o thus_o as_o you_o have_v frame_v the_o author_n argument_n force_n be_v utter_o of_o no_o use_n for_o the_o promote_a of_o true_a religion_n and_o

in_o any_o hand_n that_o can_v so_o apply_v it_o and_o so_o private_a man_n may_v use_v it_o who_o can_v deny_v say_v you_o but_o that_o force_n indirect_o and_o at_o a_o distance_n may_v do_v some_o

as_o there_o be_v many_o who_o take_v up_o their_o religion_n upon_o wrong_a ground_n to_o the_o endanger_n of_o their_o soul_n so_o there_o be_v many_o that_o abandon_v themselves_o to_o the_o heat_n

apply_v another_o way_n be_v as_o apt_a to_o make_v the_o lascivious_a chaste_a the_o argument_n then_o in_o your_o form_n will_v stand_v thus_o who_o can_v deny_v but_o that_o force_n indirect_o

with_o thus_o you_o see_v castration_n may_v indirect_o and_o at_o a_o distance_n be_v serviceable_a towards_o the_o salvation_n of_o man_n soul_n but_o will_v you_o say_v from_o such_o a_o

right_a to_o do_v it_o and_o may_v by_o force_n make_v his_o subject_n eunuch_n for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o magistrate_n or_o any_o body_n else_o upon_o a_o
