The third thing to
be marked
is
that
theft
who
are over

no
DA
power,
tat
over thebodies

All
the power
of
a
man
doth but
reach
unto the body,
yea all
that
a
Magiftrate can
doe,
either
as a
Magiftare
or
Chriftian,
it
is
but
to thebody,
as
to bring
us
to
that
outwardcónförmitie, to
keepe
the
tongue from (wearing,

his

the worft

Though
therefore man bath no power over the
body,
but
in
God,
yet the utmoft
of
his
power is bounded
in
'the outward
man.
Which
is
comfortable to
fervants.
