in_o the_o church_n even_o the_o mean_a hold_v upon_o christ_n the_o head_n now_o it_o be_v true_a in_o the_o civil_a state_n in_o some_o sense_n it_o may_v he_o say_v that_o the_o officer_n of_o

for_o if_o they_o be_v virtual_o in_o he_o than_o he_o can_v himself_o dispense_v those_o thing_n that_o other_o by_o virtue_n of_o their_o office_n can_v but_o that_o he_o can_v as_o to_o give_v

of_o the_o church_n only_o thus_o he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o head_n because_o he_o be_v the_o supreme_a to_o govern_v in_o a_o civil_a way_n not_o only_o the_o civil_a state_n but_o even_o

in_o that_o civil_a power_n to_o govern_v in_o a_o civil_a way_n by_o civil_a law_n so_o as_o to_o see_v christ_n not_o dishonour_v so_o as_o to_o keep_v out_o idolatry_n to_o protect_v the_o church_n to_o punish_v enormity_n that_o be_v there_o to_o defend_v it_o from_o enemy_n in_o that_o sense_n he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o head_n but_o that_o title_n of_o supreme_a governor_n be_v

which_o yet_o may_v seem_v to_o have_v more_o in_o it_o i_o find_v this_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o saint_n paul_n when_o he_o be_v accuse_v by_o his_o brethren_n in_o matter_n of_o
