that_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v well_o after_o this_o that_o the_o distinction_n between_o the_o religious_a and_o secullar_n thing_n in_o reference_n to_o the_o magistrate_n authority_n or_o use_v his_o sword_n be_v for_o all_o what_o be_v before_o say_v to_o be_v hold_v so_o far_o as_o it_o will_v reach_v but_o that_o be_v only_o to_o a_o majus_fw-la &_o minus_fw-la of_o his_o care_n not_o to_o the_o specification_n of_o the_o state_n of_o our_o business_n my_o meaning_n be_v that_o in_o thing_n not_o religious_a but_o moral_a only_a or_o civil_a the_o magistrate_n be_v more_o free_a

that_o we_o shall_v find_v a_o bottom_n to_o determine_v the_o main_a issue_n to_o know_v these_o reason_n look_v whatsoever_o difference_n there_o be_v to_o be_v make_v between_o religious_a and_o

and_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o realm_n now_o than_o if_o this_o will_v serve_v to_o determine_v the_o question_n the_o proposition_n draw_v from_o it_o must_v be_v this_o that_o in_o all_o matter_n that_o be_v of_o supernatural_a revelation_n the_o magistrate_n may_v not_o use_v his_o sword_n but_o in_o all_o other_o he_o may_v use_v it_o but_o this_o proposition_n be_v alike_o false_a with_o

for_o his_o conscience_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o religion_n the_o second_o difference_n between_o sacred_a and_o civil_a affair_n which_o may_v be_v another_o reason_n why_o the_o magistrate_n be_v to_o take_v more_o heed_n as_o to_o the_o one_o than_o to_o the_o other_o be_v that_o the_o world_n can_v be_v govern_v without_o the_o exercise_n of_o his_o authority_n in_o civil_n when_o if_o the_o

there_o be_v still_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o be_v so_o long_o as_o the_o thing_n be_v against_o a_o man_n conscience_n the_o magistrate_n may_v not_o force_v any_o one_o to_o it_o whether_o it_o

confine_v it_o to_o thing_n of_o supernatural_a revelation_n lest_o the_o magistrate_n be_v offend_v if_o we_o touch_v on_o civil_n but_o that_o if_o i_o do_v so_o i_o must_v real_o forsake_v the_o patronage_n of_o conscience_n which_o i_o be_o not_o willing_a myself_o nor_o that_o this_o gentleman_n shall_v do_v for_o if_o we_o grant_v once_o that_o conscience_n may_v be_v force_v in_o any_o one_o thing_n there_o may_v be_v the_o same_o or_o the_o like_a reason_n urge_v to_o force_v it_o in_o another_o and_o so_o in_o all_o and_o then_o here_o liberty_n be_v go_v if_o we_o will_v not_o stand_v by_o she_o in_o all_o distress_n we_o can_v defend_v she_o in_o any_o the_o ground_n of_o all_o be_v be_v conscience_n be_v a_o thing_n which_o can_v be_v rule_v by_o none_o but_o the_o almighty_a and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o all_o authority_n or_o power_n resolve_v into_o its_o original_n be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o such_o a_o one_o shall_v command_v it_o seem_v not_o a_o thing_n consonant_n to_o reason_n to_o suppose_v it_o the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o a_o superior_a shall_v require_v that_o of_o a_o person_n which_o it_o be_v his_o will_n that_o person_n shall_v not_o do_v thing_n then_o which_o be_v civil_a may_v be_v so_o in_o themselves_o and_o yet_o come_v under_o some_o consideration_n which_o be_v religious_a or_o may_v have_v religion_n incidental_a to_o they_o if_o this_o worthy_a gentleman_n be_v content_a to_o hold_v that_o in_o thing_n civil_a under_o every_o consideration_n that_o be_v but_o civil_a the_o magistrate_n may_v use_v his_o sword_n without_o scruple_n i_o yield_v to_o he_o but_o if_o a_o thing_n secular_a do_v come_v under_o a_o consideration_n which_o be_v religious_a and_o in_o that_o consideration_n be_v against_o a_o man_n conscience_n i_o can_v conceive_v but_o that_o the_o case_n be_v the_o same_o here_o as_o if_o the_o matter_n be_v itself_o religious_a for_o whatsoever_o the_o thing_n be_v in_o that_o respect_n as_o he_o make_v a_o conscience_n of_o it_o i_o have_v say_v before_o it_o be_v a_o point_n of_o religion_n to_o he_o the_o fifth-monarchy-man_n think_v in_o his_o conscience_n he_o may_v not_o pay_v tax_n a_o strange_a opinion_n against_o scripture_n sense_n and_o righteousness_n yet_o if_o you_o ask_v the_o man_n his_o reason_n he_o will_v bring_v you_o a_o text_n perhaps_o out_o of_o daniel_n or_o the_o revelation_n and_o the_o sum_n of_o all_o will_v come_v to_o this_o that_o if_o he_o do_v he_o think_v very_o he_o shall_v receive_v the_o mark_n of_o the_o beast_n and_o be_v cast_v into_o the_o lake_n of_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n and_o rather_o than_o venture_v that_o he_o will_v choose_v to_o suffer_v though_o it_o be_v death_n i_o count_v this_o man_n now_o as_o one_o in_o a_o fever_n that_o be_v touch_v in_o his_o head_n and_o who_o can_v help_v such_o a_o conceit_n his_o opinion_n be_v ground_v on_o the_o revelation_n and_o we_o agree_v that_o in_o matter_n of_o supernatural_a revelation_n the_o magistrate_n may_v not_o force_v any_o against_o their_o conscience_n what_o then_o shall_v he_o do_v i_o answer_v in_o this_o case_n and_o the_o like_a as_o this_o be_v it_o be_v the_o management_n only_o of_o the_o law_n with_o prudence_n will_v decide_v such_o difficulty_n it_o be_v against_o the_o man_n conscience_n voluntary_o to_o pay_v his_o tax_n it_o will_v wound_v his_o soul_n if_o he_o do_v but_o it_o be_v not_o against_o his_o conscience_n nor_o will_v it_o wound_v he_o that_o he_o be_v assess_v and_o that_o the_o officer_n come_v and_o distrain_v and_o pay_v himself_o so_o long_o as_o he_o bear_v his_o testimony_n by_o a_o nonpayment_n he_o be_v willing_a to_o have_v the_o money_n take_v by_o force_n and_o thus_o do_v the_o officer_n do_v right_a for_o the_o law_n be_v he_o shall_v pay_v or_o be_v distrain_v and_o the_o man_n keep_v his_o conscience_n and_o no_o hurt_n be_v do_v but_o if_o a_o magistrate_n will_v not_o be_v content_a here_o unless_o the_o man_n pay_v his_o money_n in_o specie_fw-la and_o by_o way_n of_o acknowledge_v his_o authority_n from_o god_n or_o else_o he_o will_v hang_v he_o or_o burn_v he_o i_o have_v not_o a_o heart_n so_o hard_o to_o justify_v any_o such_o rigour_n which_o appear_v more_o than_o needs_o unto_o this_o instance_n no_o doubt_n but_o we_o may_v suppose_v many_o more_o wherein_o there_o may_v be_v require_v of_o person_n some_o thing_n which_o be_v apparent_o their_o duty_n as_o this_o render_n to_o caesar_n the_o thing_n which_o be_v caesar_n be_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o man_n and_o yet_o in_o regard_n of_o some_o principle_n some_o have_v receive_v or_o some_o circumstance_n they_o be_v in_o they_o be_v against_o their_o conscience_n you_o may_v ask_v therefore_o in_o general_n do_v not_o the_o magistrate_n well_o to_o use_v his_o sword_n and_o execute_v the_o law_n upon_o offender_n in_o such_o case_n i_o answer_v no_o doubt_n but_o he_o do_v because_o he_o act_n upon_o supposition_n that_o such_o thing_n be_v according_a to_o their_o conscience_n and_o he_o be_v not_o to_o suppose_v otherwise_o nevertheless_o if_o it_o come_v within_o his_o cognizance_n that_o the_o thing_n indeed_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o conscience_n to_o he_o i_o do_v humble_o apprehend_v and_o say_v that_o the_o great_a duty_n of_o charity_n which_o he_o owe_v to_o his_o brother_n soul_n and_o be_v above_o any_o law_n of_o man_n aught_o to_o prevail_v with_o he_o for_o some_o such_o middle_a course_n in_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o law_n that_o neither_o may_v the_o man_n be_v hurt_v in_o his_o religion_n nor_o the_o public_a suffer_v by_o his_o ill_a example_n but_o that_o both_o his_o conscience_n be_v regard_v and_o righteousness_n also_o take_v place_n you_o may_v say_v perhaps_o you_o will_v indeed_o have_v the_o magistrate_n have_v a_o care_n and_o not_o force_v a_o man_n to_o any_o thing_n against_o his_o conscience_n but_o you_o think_v notwithstanding_o he_o may_v very_o comfortable_o punish_v he_o if_o he_o do_v not_o what_o be_v enjoin_v i_o will_v ask_v then_o for_o what_o can_v you_o comfortable_o punish_v he_o for_o be_v true_a only_o to_o his_o conscience_n which_o be_v to_o be_v faithful_a to_o god_n i_o do_v not_o find_v if_o i_o be_v a_o magistrate_n that_o i_o can_v have_v any_o great_a comfort_n in_o that_o
