a_o other_o notwithstanding_o the_o civil_a law_n or_o magistrate_n be_v not_o take_v away_o for_o this_o parable_n speak_v not_o any_o thing_n of_o worldly_a government_n but_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n only_o wherefore_o he_o that_o be_v yet_o govern_v only_o by_o the_o regiment_n of_o the_o world_n be_v yet_o far_o of_o from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n for_o worldly_a government_n pertain_v whole_o to_o inferior_a thing_n as_o if_o a_o prince_n govern_v his_o people_n so_o that_o he_o suffer_v injury_n to_o be_v do_v to_o none_o punish_v offender_n he_o do_v well_o &_o be_v therefore_o commend_v for_o in_o that_o government_n this_o sentence_n flourish_v government_n civil_a government_n pay_v that_o thou_o owe_v which_o if_o thou_o do_v not_o thou_o shall_v be_v cast_v into_o prison_n such_o government_n we_o must_v have_v howbeit_o we_o come_v not_o to_o heaven_n by_o it_o neither_o be_v the_o world_n therefore_o save_v but_o this_o government_n be_v therefore_o necessary_a that_o the_o world_n do_v not_o become_v worse_o for_o it_o be_v only_o a_o defence_n &_o fortification_n against_o wickedness_n which_o if_o it_o be_v not_o one_o will_v devour_v a_o other_o neither_o can_v any_o man_n keep_v in_o safety_n his_o own_o life_n wife_n good_n child_n etc._n etc._n that_o therefore_o all_o thing_n shall_v not_o fall_v come_v to_o ruin_n and_o perish_v god_n have_v appoint_v the_o sword_n of_o the_o magistrate_n whereby_o wickedness_n may_v be_v partly_o repress_v peace_n and_o quietness_n among_o man_n maintain_v &_o one_o may_v not_o do_v a_o

only_o that_o man_n be_v not_o more_o deep_o plunge_v in_o wickedness_n and_o become_v worse_o wherefore_o no_o man_n that_o be_v only_o under_o the_o regiment_n of_o the_o world_n aught_o to_o

before_o the_o world_n &_o yield_v of_o thy_o own_o right_n this_o the_o gospel_n do_v here_o require_v neighbour_n as_o the_o lord_n forgive_v we_o so_o must_v we_o also_o forgive_v our_o neighbour_n which_o on_o either_o side_n set_v forth_o unto_o we_o only_a forgiveness_n first_o the_o lord_n forgive_v the_o servant_n all_o the_o debt_n then_o he_o require_v of_o he_o that_o he_o forgive_v his_o fellow_n servant_n his_o and_o remit_v his_o offence_n these_o thing_n god_n require_v and_o so_o must_v his_o kingdom_n be_v order_v that_o no_o man_n be_v so_o wicked_a neither_o suffer_v himself_o so_o to_o be_v move_v that_o he_o can_v not_o forgive_v his_o neighbour_n and_o as_o it_o be_v a_o little_a before_o this_o text_n teach_v in_o the_o gospel_n if_o he_o shall_v provoke_v thou_o to_o anger_n even_o seventy_o time_n seven_o time_n that_o be_v as_o often_o as_o he_o can_v offend_v against_o thou_o thou_o must_v yield_v of_o thy_o own_o right_n and_o cheerful_o forgive_v he_o all_o thing_n why_o so_o because_o christ_n do_v the_o same_o for_o he_o set_v up_o &_o erect_v such_o a_o kingdom_n as_o wherein_o be_v only_a grace_n which_o must_v at_o no_o time_n cease_v so_o that_o if_o thou_o repent_v all_o thing_n may_v whole_o be_v forgive_v thou_o as_o often_o as_o thou_o shall_v offend_v forasmuch_o as_o he_o have_v ordain_v the_o gospel_n that_o it_o may_v
