and_o this_o appear_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o christian_a magistrate_n so_o long_o as_o lawful_a authority_n stand_v up_o without_o confusion_n in_o the_o world_n but_o here_o we_o consider_v the_o

the_o prince_n right_a then_o the_o church_n may_v interpret_v scripture_n determine_v controversy_n of_o faith_n but_o can_v establish_v a_o law_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o for_o the_o establish_n of_o law_n coactive_a power_n be_v requisite_a which_o be_v in_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n &_o not_o in_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o the_o canon_n law_n can_v have_v no_o force_n

we_o observe_v that_o the_o high_a priest_n be_v appoint_v by_o god_n a_o judge_n for_o interpretation_n of_o those_o law_n that_o concern_v the_o church_n in_o question_n of_o conscience_n in_o

these_o thing_n be_v insert_v into_o moses_n law_n take_v from_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o not_o as_o thing_n ceremonial_a which_o thing_n be_v apparent_a from_o the_o end_n use_v and_o

ecclesiastical_a wherein_o there_o be_v use_v of_o coactive_a power_n these_o two_o thing_n be_v in_o themselves_o and_o in_o nature_n so_o distinct_a if_o this_o one_o distinction_n may_v be_v remember_v it_o be_v enough_o to_o answer_v all_o the_o confuse_a collection_n of_o that_o catholic_a divine_a who_o write_v of_o late_a against_o the_o five_o part_n of_o report_n of_o the_o lord_n

this_o one_o poor_a distinction_n between_o these_o two_o power_n now_o the_o distinction_n be_v apparent_a because_o in_o spiritual_a government_n there_o be_v no_o coactive_a power_n but_o in_o
