the_o church_n but_o rather_o that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v shun_v and_o avoid_v 2._o these_o be_v the_o error_n of_o the_o anabaptist_n which_o be_v intolerable_a in_o the_o state_n 1._o that_o the_o office_n of_o civil_a magistrate_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v not_o a_o kind_n of_o life_n please_v and_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n 2._o that_o a_o christian_a man_n can_v in_o good_a
