a_o universal_a law_n which_o be_v above_o all_o humane_a law_n or_o will_n and_o that_o he_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o power_n and_o there_o be_v none_o but_o what_o he_o give_v and_o limit_v and_o that_o no_o man_n be_v above_o he_o nor_o have_v true_a authority_n against_o his_o law_n but_o mr._n dodwell_n say_v that_o it_o be_v irreconcilable_a to_o government_n in_o this_o life_n or_o

by_o excellency_n so_o call_v and_o so_o god_n shall_v be_v god_n and_o be_v obey_v if_o the_o clergy_n please_v §_o 4._o ii_o as_o to_o the_o second_o we_o suppose_v that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v god_n law_n indict_v and_o record_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o be_v the_o first_o oblige_v rule_n of_o faith_n and_o holy_a live_n which_o all_o man_n be_v to_o be_v obedient_a to_o before_o and_o against_o all_o contrary_a law_n of_o man_n but_o mr._n dodwell_n as_o aforesaid_a allow_v no_o such_o prime_a obligation_n as_o will_v warrant_v a_o appeal_n to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n from_o the_o visible_a church-governor_n that_o contradict_v it_o §_o 5._o iii_o and_o for_o the_o three_o we_o suppose_v that_o all_o humane_a power_n be_v derive_v from_o god_n and_o have_v no_o authority_n but_o what_o he_o give_v they_o and_o be_v more_o under_o he_o and_o his_o law_n than_o the_o justice_n be_v under_o the_o king_n and_o his_o law_n and_o can_v oblige_v no_o man_n against_o the_o law_n of_o god_n but_o how_o far_o mr._n dodwell_n think_v otherwise_o you_o have_v hear_v he_o say_v not_o indeed_o that_o we_o must_v break_v god_n law_n but_o we_o must_v not_o pretend_v they_o or_o appeal_v to_o they_o against_o our_o governor_n in_o charity_n i_o hope_v he_o mean_v no_o worse_o but_o that_o we_o must_v take_v our_o ruler_n word_n or_o exposition_n and_o judge_v nothing_o to_o be_v in_o the_o scripture_n contrary_a to_o their_o command_n and_o whether_o he_o give_v they_o the_o same_o dominion_n also_o over_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n let_v he_o tell_v you_o paul_n disclaim_v dominion_n over_o man_n say_v and_o the_o write_a law_n of_o god_n §_o 6._o iu._n and_o for_o the_o four_o we_o take_v moral_a good_a to_o be_v a_o conformity_n to_o god_n law_n and_o moral_a evil_n or_o sin_n to_o be_v a_o breach_n of_o it_o but_o mr._n dodwell_n be_v for_o measure_v they_o by_o the_o clergy_n or_o governor_n will_v though_o god_n law_n be_v

and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o a_o catholick-church_n of_o god_n make_v under_o any_o other_o supreme_a ruler_n but_o that_o as_o god_n be_v the_o invisible_a king_n of_o this_o

so_o christ_n be_v the_o partly_o visible_a and_o partly_o invisible_a supreme_a ruler_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n of_o christian_n and_o each_o pastor_n be_v under_o he_o over_o his_o proper_a

but_o mr._n dodwell_n be_v for_o a_o visible_a society_n with_o a_o visible_a humane_a supreme_a but_o who_o the_o supreme_a be_v i_o despair_v of_o get_v he_o to_o acquaint_v we_o §_o 8._o vi_o and_o for_o the_o six_o we_o suppose_v that_o god_n send_v forth_o preacher_n to_o convert_v the_o world_n and_o turn_v they_o from_o darkness_n to_o light_n and_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n to_o god_n and_o that_o faith_n come_v by_o hear_v and_o hear_v by_o the_o word_n preach_v and_o that_o whoever_o believe_v shall_v be_v save_v and_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v powerful_a to_o this_o end_n and_o sufficient_a to_o make_v we_o wise_a to_o salvation_n but_o mr._n dodwell_n think_v that_o it_o be_v not_o preach_v but_o the_o deliver_v man_n the_o sacrament_n that_o give_v they_o the_o

we_o hold_v that_o preach_a be_v for_o the_o convert_n of_o soul_n and_o the_o mean_n of_o save_a faith_n and_o holiness_n but_o what_o he_o think_v it_o be_v good_a for_o i_o know_v not_o well_o nor_o whether_o he_o will_v send_v the_o indian_n the_o sacrament_n instead_o of_o preacher_n §_o 10._o viii_o we_o take_v it_o to_o be_v our_o duty_n though_o man_n forbid_v we_o to_o confess_v
