but_o from_o hence_o it_o will_v follow_v first_o that_o if_o the_o inferior_a magistrate_n command_v we_o any_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o within_o the_o power_n of_o his_o commission_n to_o do_v in_o that_o case_n i_o may_v without_o sin_n withdraw_v my_o obedience_n from_o he_o because_o so_o far_o he_o have_v no_o authority_n to_o command_v it_o will_v follow_v second_o that_o if_o i_o

which_o they_o be_v constitute_v and_o consequent_o also_o unto_o god_n last_o it_o will_v follow_v from_o the_o premise_n that_o as_o they_o who_o be_v invest_v with_o a_o great_a authority_n be_v
