Is this in modern reprints? Does it contain anything on the duties of the magistrate?
Yes, at least it is in the 1990 reprint of the Den Dulk Christian Foundation.

There is a little bit on the duties of the magistrate, but the bulk is praise for the King. A better bet is Martin Bucer's De Regno Christi -- it's entirely about the duties of a Christian magistrate.
