hypothesis_n he_o will_v persuade_v we_o that_o the_o whole_a jurisdiction_n of_o the_o magistrate_n reach_v only_o to_o these_o civil_a concernment_n ibid._n and_o that_o all_o civil_a power_n right_o and_o dominion_n be_v bound_v and_o confine_v to_o the_o only_a care_n of_o promote_a these_o thing_n and_o that_o it_o neither_o can_v nor_o aught_o in_o any_o manner_n to_o be_v extend_v to_o the_o salvation_n of_o soul_n but_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o 1._o i_o acknowledge_v as_o this_o author_n here_o seem_v to_o do_v that_o the_o extent_n of_o the_o magistrat_n jurisdiction_n be_v to_o be_v measure_v by_o the_o end_n for_o which_o the_o commonwealth_n be_v institute_v for_o in_o vain_a be_v man_n conbine_v in_o such_o society_n as_o we_o call_v commonwealth_n if_o the_o governor_n of_o they_o be_v not_o invest_v with_o sufficient_a power_n to_o procure_v the_o end_n for_o which_o such_o society_n be_v intend_v but_o then_o 2._o i_o must_v say_v that_o our_o author_n do_v but_o beg_v the_o question_n when_o he_o affirm_v that_o the_o commonwealth_n be_v constitute_v only_o for_o the_o procure_n preserve_a and_o advance_v of_o the_o civil_a interest_n of_o the_o member_n of_o it_o that_o commonwealth_n be_v institute_v for_o these_o end_n no_o man_n will_v deny_v but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o other_o end_v beside_o these_o attainable_a by_o civil_a society_n and_o government_n there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o affirm_v that_o these_o be_v the_o only_a end_n for_o which_o they_o be_v design_v doubtless_o commonwealth_n be_v institute_v for_o the_o attain_n of_o all_o the_o benefit_n which_o political_a government_n can_v yield_v and_o therefore_o if_o the_o spiritual_a and_o eternal_a interest_n of_o man_n may_v any_o way_n be_v procure_v or_o advance_v by_o political_a government_n the_o procure_n and_o advance_v those_o interest_n must_v in_o all_o reason_n be_v reckon_v among_o the_o end_n of_o civil_a society_n and_o so_o consequent_o fall_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o magistrate_n jurisdiction_n but_o our_o author_n offer_v three_o consideration_n 7._o which_o seem_v to_o he_o abundant_o to_o demonstrate_v that_o the_o civil_a power_n neither_o can_v nor_o aught_o in_o any_o manner_n to_o be_v extend_v to_o the_o salvation_n of_o soul_n ibid._n and_o the_o first_o of_o they_o be_v because_o the_o care_n of_o soul_n be_v not_o commit_v to_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n any_o more_o than_o to_o other_o man_n but_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v no_o consideration_n at_o all_o but_o only_o the_o prove_v the_o thing_n by_o itself_o in_o other_o word_n for_o to_o extend_v the_o civil_a power_n to_o the_o salvation_n of_o soul_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o say_v that_o the_o care_n of_o soul_n be_v commit_v to_o the_o magistrate_n more_o than_o to_o other_o man_n and_o therefore_o to_o say_v that_o the_o civil_a power_n neither_o can_v nor_o aught_o to_o be_v extend_v to_o the_o salvation_n of_o soul_n because_o the_o care_n of_o soul_n be_v not_o commit_v to_o the_o magistrate_n any_o more_o than_o to_o other_o man_n be_v in_o effect_n no_o more_o than_o to_o say_v that_o the_o civil_a power_n neither_o can_v nor_o aught_o to_o be_v extend_v to_o the_o salvation_n of_o soul_n because_o it_o neither_o can_v nor_o aught_o to_o be_v extend_v to_o the_o salvation_n of_o soul_n but_o to_o let_v this_o pass_n if_o what_o i_o say_v but_o now_o be_v true_a it_o appear_v from_o thence_o that_o beside_o that_o care_n which_o charity_n oblige_v all_o man_n especial_o christian_n to_o take_v of_o each_o other_o soul_n and_o beside_o that_o care_n of_o soul_n also_o which_o be_v commit_v to_o the_o proper_a minister_n of_o religion_n who_o by_o special_a designation_n be_v appoint_v not_o only_o to_o exhort_v admonish_v reprove_v and_o correct_v by_o spiritual_a censure_n those_o who_o have_v embrace_v the_o truth_n do_v find_v themselves_o oblige_v by_o it_o to_o submit_v to_o their_o spiritual_a authority_n but_o likewise_o to_o seek_v that_o which_o be_v lose_v and_o to_o endeavour_v by_o wholesome_a instruction_n and_o due_a information_n to_o bring_v to_o the_o right_a way_n those_o who_o never_o know_v it_o and_o to_o reduce_v such_o as_o have_v go_v astray_o from_o it_o i_o say_v beside_o that_o fraternal_a care_n of_o soul_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o and_o this_o pastoral_a care_n which_o be_v pure_o spiritual_a and_o operate_v immediate_o upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n there_o be_v a_o external_n and_o more_o remote_a care_n of_o soul_n which_o be_v exercise_v not_o only_o by_o oblige_v under_o temporal_a sanction_n both_o the_o spiritual_a pastor_n to_o perform_v their_o duty_n and_o those_o who_o own_o their_o authority_n to_o pay_v they_o reverence_n and_o due_a submission_n but_o also_o by_o lay_v such_o penalty_n upon_o those_o who_o refuse_v to_o embrace_v their_o doctrine_n and_o to_o submit_v to_o their_o spiritual_a government_n as_o may_v make_v they_o bethink_v themselves_o and_o put_v it_o out_o of_o the_o power_n of_o any_o foolish_a humour_n or_o unreasonable_a prejudice_n to_o alienate_v they_o from_o the_o truth_n and_o their_o own_o happiness_n which_o care_n of_o soul_n as_o it_o can_v only_o belong_v to_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n so_o i_o think_v it_o appear_v from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v that_o it_o be_v indeed_o commit_v to_o he_o but_o our_o author_n attempt_v to_o prove_v the_o contrary_n it_o be_v not_o ibid._n say_v he_o commit_v to_o he_o by_o god_n because_o it_o appear_v not_o that_o god_n have_v ever_o give_v any_o such_o authority_n to_o one_o man_n over_o another_o as_o to_o compel_v any_o one_o to_o his_o religion_n but_o this_o be_v quite_o beside_o the_o business_n for_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o magistrate_n be_v not_o a_o authority_n to_o compel_v any_o one_o to_o his_o religion_n but_o only_o a_o authority_n to_o procure_v all_o his_o subject_n the_o mean_n of_o discover_v the_o way_n of_o salvation_n and_o to_o procure_v withal_o as_o much_o as_o in_o he_o lie_v that_o none_o remain_v ignorant_a of_o it_o or_o refuse_v to_o embrace_v it_o either_o for_o want_v of_o use_v those_o mean_n or_o by_o reason_n of_o any_o such_o prejudices_fw-la as_o may_v render_v they_o ineffectual_a and_o certain_o this_o authority_n may_v be_v commit_v to_o the_o magistrate_n by_o god_n though_o he_o have_v give_v no_o man_n authority_n to_o compel_v another_o to_o his_o religion_n our_o author_n add_v ibid._n nor_o can_v any_o such_o power_n be_v vest_v in_o the_o magistrate_n by_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n because_o no_o man_n can_v so_o far_o abandon_v his_o own_o salvation_n as_o blind_o to_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o choice_n of_o any_o other_o whether_o prince_n or_o subject_a to_o prescribe_v to_o he_o what_o faith_n or_o worship_n he_o shall_v embrace_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v as_o the_o power_n of_o the_o magistrate_n in_o reference_n to_o religion_n be_v ordain_v for_o the_o bring_v man_n to_o take_v such_o care_n as_o they_o ought_v of_o their_o salvation_n that_o they_o may_v not_o blind_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o choice_n neither_o of_o any_o other_o person_n nor_o yet_o of_o their_o own_o lust_n and_o passion_n to_o prescribe_v to_o they_o what_o faith_n or_o worship_n they_o shall_v embrace_v so_o if_o we_o suppose_v this_o power_n to_o be_v vest_v in_o the_o magistrate_n by_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n this_o will_v not_o import_v their_o abandon_v the_o care_n of_o their_o salvation_n but_o rather_o the_o contrary_n for_o if_o man_n in_o choose_v their_o religion_n be_v so_o general_o subject_a as_o have_v be_v show_v when_o leave_v whole_o to_o themselves_o to_o be_v so_o much_o sway_v by_o prejudice_n and_o passion_n as_o either_o not_o at_o all_o or_o not_o sufficient_o to_o regard_v the_o reason_n and_o motive_n which_o ought_v alone_o to_o determine_v their_o choice_n than_o it_o be_v every_o man_n true_a interest_n not_o to_o be_v leave_v whole_o to_o himself_o in_o this_o matter_n but_o that_o care_n shall_v be_v take_v that_o in_o a_o affair_n of_o so_o vast_a concernment_n to_o he_o he_o may_v be_v bring_v even_o against_o his_o own_o inclination_n if_o it_o can_v be_v do_v otherwise_o which_o be_v ordinary_o the_o case_n to_o act_v according_a to_o reason_n and_o sound_a judgement_n and_o than_o what_o better_a course_n can_v man_n take_v to_o provide_v for_o this_o then_o by_o vest_v the_o power_n i_o have_v describe_v in_o he_o who_o bear_v the_o sword_n not_o that_o i_o think_v the_o sword_n be_v to_o be_v use_v in_o this_o business_n as_o i_o have_v sufficient_o declare_v already_o but_o because_o all_o coactive_a power_n resolve_v at_o last_o into_o the_o sword_n since_o all_o i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o will_v not_o be_v reform_v in_o this_o matter_n by_o lesser_a penalty_n but_o that_o refuse_v
