because_o the_o conceit_n of_o magistrate_n distinct_a and_o unsubordinate_a power_n have_v arisen_a from_o belief_n of_o this_o distinction_n of_o duty_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v in_o brief_a that_o

therefore_o he_o refuse_v to_o act_v as_o a_o christian_a magistrate_n in_o matter_n of_o divine_a precept_n we_o must_v have_v recourse_n to_o god_n command_v ourselves_o or_o to_o such_o
