"magistrally"? how is this translated into English?

Taking a cheap shot

I've seen cheaper. I was quoting Hobbes, but you wouldn't know that, would
you. Incidentally, I was hopping [sic] to be congratulated on that brill pun,
"poor reason" (for "reinen Vernunft") -- assuming a Sussex pronunciation,
sure. -- Cheers,

'magistrally' [< from MAGISTRAL a. + -LY2. Cf. Middle French, French
magistralement (15th cent. as magistraument). (N.E.D. (1904) indicates the
stress
as <Ngistrally.)] In a magistral manner; authoritatively, dogmatically.
1603 T. CARTWRIGHT
Confut. Rhemists New Test. (1618) 172
You haue put that magistrally which Ambrose maketh a perhaps of.
1656 T. HOBBES
Quest. Liberty, Necess. & Chance (1841) 257
To assume..a licence to control so magistrally..the doctors of the Church in
general.
