Translation of "Magistrado" in English

Los diferentes modos de culto que prevalecieron en el mundo romano fueron todos consideraros por el pueblo como igualmente verdaderos, por el filósofo como igualmente falsos, y por el magistrado como igualmente útiles. Y así la tolerancia produjo no sólo la indulgencia mutua, sino incluso la concordia religiosa.

The various modes of worship which prevailed in the Roman world were all considered by the people as equally true; by the philosopher as equally false; and by the magistrate as equally useful. And thus toleration produced not only mutual indulgence, but even religious concord.
