indeed_o such_o a_o magistrate_n be_v not_o in_o that_o behalf_n the_o minister_n of_o god_n wherefore_o if_o we_o must_v be_v subject_a and_o obey_v the_o magistrate_n for_o conscience_n sake_n &_o

therefore_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o godly_a magistrate_n be_v first_o to_o know_v out_o of_o god_n word_n general_o and_o according_a to_o the_o sum_n of_o the_o point_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v the_o true_a and_o christian_n religion_n and_o which_o be_v the_o apostolical_a doctrine_n whereunto_o the_o church_n be_v to_o be_v reform_v that_o he_o may_v do_v or_o dare_v to_o do_v nothing_o only_o by_o the_o judgement_n of_o other_o but_o also_o upon_o his_o own_o sure_a knowledge_n then_o this_o be_v thus_o know_v to_o have_v a_o care_n that_o minister_n which_o be_v meet_a man_n for_o the_o

vii_o a_o godly_a prince_n ought_v not_o to_o deal_v with_o all_o man_n of_o a_o diverse_a religion_n after_o one_o manner_n but_o see_v to_o say_v something_o brief_o of_o the_o other_o duty_n of_o a_o prince_n concern_v religion_n there_o be_v diverse_a kind_n of_o man_n which_o a_o prince_n may_v have_v under_o his_o government_n namely_o either_o mere_a infidel_n or_o such_o as_o indeed_o profess_v christ_n but_o yet_o be_v also_o open_a idolater_n or_o in_o many_o thing_n apostate_n from_o the_o apostolical_a church_n or_o in_o some_o article_n of_o the_o faith_n manifest_a heretic_n or_o else_o err_v upon_o simplicity_n or_o such_o as_o be_v right_o persuade_v in_o all_o matter_n we_o do_v certain_o hold_v that_o a_o prince_n ought_v not_o to_o use_v one_o kind_n of_o measure_n towards_o all_o these_o sort_n for_o some_o of_o they_o be_v to_o be_v love_v cherish_v and_o honour_a some_o to_o be_v wink_v at_o some_o not_o to_o be_v suffer_v other_o some_o to_o be_v quite_o
