such_o sin_n as_o idolatry_n apostasy_n heresy_n damnable_a error_n obstinate_a schism_n and_o blasphemy_n in_o christian_a kingdom_n state_n church_n and_o person_n guilty_a of_o they_o 2._o that_o

second_o i_o shall_v propound_v and_o agree_v what_o be_v not_o in_o controversy_n as_o 1._o that_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n christian_a exhortation_n reprehention_n conference_n and_o dispute_n be_v the_o most_o proper_a and_o effectual_a mean_n to_o convert_v reform_v idolater_n apostate_n heretic_n false_a teacher_n schismatic_n and_o blasphemer_n 2._o that_o such_o as_o these_o

the_o selfsame_a rigour_n and_o severity_n but_o as_o their_o obstinacy_n idolatry_n apostasy_n heresy_n error_n schism_n blasphemy_n be_v more_o or_o less_o heinous_a and_o pernicious_a so_o the_o proceed_n against_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v more_o mild_a or_o severe_a these_o thing_n premise_v i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o some_o argument_n to_o make_v good_a my_o assertion_n the_o first_o shall_v be_v this_o that_o which_o godly_a king_n and_o magistrate_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n under_o the_o law_n 1._o be_v enjoin_v to_o do_v by_o god_n own_o express_a command_n and_o do_v

heretic_n false_a teacher_n schismatic_n and_o blasphemer_n who_o disturb_v the_o peace_n of_o church_n state_n and_o draw_v down_o god_n judgement_n upon_o either_o and_o do_v according_o execute_v the_o same_o command_n with_o god_n special_a approbation_n when_o admonition_n exhortation_n and_o dispute_n will_v not_o reclaim_v they_o therefore_o christian_a magistrate_n under_o the_o gospel_n may_v and_o aught_o to_o do_v the_o like_a the_o major_a proposition_n i_o shall_v make_v good_a by_o these_o undeniable_a reason_n first_o because_o 20._o god_n have_v ordain_v and_o continue_v
