A80608 The bloudy tenent, washed, and made white in the bloud of the Lambe: being discussed and discharged of bloud-guiltinesse by just defence. Wherein the great questions of this present time are handled, viz. how farre liberty of conscience ought to be given to those that truly feare God? And how farre restrained to turbulent and pestilent persons, that not onely raze the foundation of godlinesse, but disturb the civill peace where they live? Also how farre the magistrate may proceed in the duties of the first table? And that all magistrates ought to study the word and will of God, that they may frame their government according to it. Discussed. As they are alledged from divers Scriptures, out of the Old and New Testament. Wherein also the practise of princes is debated, together with the judgement of ancient and late writers of most precious esteeme. Whereunto is added a reply to Mr. Williams answer, to Mr. Cottons letter. / By John Cotton Batchelor in Divinity, and teacher of the church of Christ at Boston in New England. Cotton, John, 1584-1652. 1647 (1647) Wing C6409; Thomason E387_7; ESTC R836 257,083 342

common_a prayer_n book_n which_o though_o they_o then_o seem_v sandy_a to_o i_o yet_o since_o i_o have_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v rocky_a and_o have_v see_v cause_n so_o to_o publish_v to_o the_o

of_o his_o ground_n in_o a_o discourse_n to_o mr._n ball_n against_o set_a form_n of_o prayer_n what_o rocky_a ground_n do_v you_o think_v this_o assertion_n of_o he_o stand_v upon_o i_o know_v no_o

his_o ground_n against_o our_o use_n of_o the_o common_a prayer_n which_o then_o seem_v sandy_a to_o we_o but_o now_o in_o new-england_n i_o have_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v rocky_a in_o my_o

extend_v only_o to_o the_o body_n and_o good_n and_o outward_a state_n of_o man_n etc._n etc._n these_o particular_n he_o hope_v that_o as_o he_o maintain_v the_o rocky_a strength_n of_o they_o to_o his_o own_o and_o other_o conscience_n satisfaction_n so_o through_o the_o lord_n assistance_n he_o shall_v be_v ready_a not_o only_o to_o be_v bind_v and_o banish_v but_o to_o die_v also_o in_o new-england_n as_o for_o most_o holy_a truth_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n jesus_n it_o be_v not_o my_o intent_n in_o that_o letter_n which_o he_o examine_v to_o discuss_v the_o ground_n of_o his_o civil_a banishment_n at_o all_o neither_o do_v i_o discuss_v one_o or_o other_o of_o they_o and_o it_o be_v a_o preposterous_a shift_a of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n to_o put_v it_o upon_o i_o to_o give_v account_n of_o the_o cause_n of_o his_o banishment_n who_o neither_o do_v banish_v he_o nor_o provoke_v the_o court_n to_o banish_v he_o out_o of_o the_o country_n the_o magistrate_n

be_v plain_a i_o endeavour_v to_o show_v you_o the_o sandinesse_n of_o those_o ground_n upon_o which_o you_o have_v banish_v yourself_o from_o the_o fellowship_n of_o all_o the_o church_n in_o these_o country_n it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o banish_v one_o self_n or_o to_o be_v banish_v out_o of_o the_o fellowship_n of_o all_o the_o church_n in_o the_o country_n another_o thing_n to_o banish_v one_o

to_o profess_v separation_n which_o cross_v not_o what_o i_o say_v for_o it_o may_v be_v so_o and_o yet_o i_o know_v not_o of_o it_o unless_o the_o profession_n have_v be_v more_o public_a nor_o do_v i_o ever_o perceive_v that_o they_o refuse_v communion_n with_o we_o when_o any_o of_o they_o come_v over_o to_o we_o if_o they_o be_v public_o reproach_v for_o separation_n it_o be_v more_o than_o i_o hear_v of_o till_o i_o read_v it_o in_o his_o book_n and_o for_o any_o public_a punishment_n that_o salem_n suffer_v for_o it_o i_o may_v well_o say_v it_o be_v implicit_o if_o at_o all_o for_o sure_o there_o be_v no_o law_n of_o the_o country_n that_o punish_v such_o a_o offence_n it_o she_o explicit_o or_o implicit_o but_o since_o he_o be_v please_v to_o conceal_v it_o i_o see_v no_o cause_n of_o give_v account_n of_o it_o next_o he_o take_v up_o from_o i_o a_o confession_n of_o two_o thing_n which_o he_o leave_v to_o i_o to_o reconcile_v 1._o that_o i_o say_v if_o any_o reproach_n they_o for_o separation_n it_o be_v a_o sin_n meet_v to_o be_v censure_v 2._o that_o church_n themselves_o may_v be_v separate_v from_o who_o tolerate_v their_o member_n in_o such_o causeless_a reproaching_n reply_n it_o be_v true_a that_o i_o do_v not_o account_v reproach_n which_o be_v a_o work_n of_o the_o flesh_n a_o meet_a remedy_n to_o heal_v a_o error_n and_o therefore_o the_o reproacher_n meet_v to_o be_v deal_v withal_o either_o by_o private_a admonition_n if_o it_o be_v public_a but_o the_o latter_a of_o the_o two_o thing_n which_o he_o say_v i_o confess_v i_o be_o far_o from_o either_o confess_v it_o or_o believe_v it_o to_o wit_n that_o the_o church_n themselves_o may_v be_v separate_v from_o who_o tolerate_v their_o member_n in_o such_o causeless_a reproaching_n i_o say_v indeed_o that_o a_o causeless_a reproach_n be_v a_o sin_n meet_v to_o be_v censure_v but_o i_o say_v withal_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v censure_v with_o so_o deep_a a_o censure_n as_o excommunication_n especial_o of_o all_o the_o church_n and_o that_o too_o before_o that_o it_o do_v appear_v that_o they_o do_v tolerate_v their_o member_n in_o such_o their_o causeless_a reproaching_n but_o it_o may_v be_v he_o will_v say_v do_v it_o not_o imply_v that_o if_o it_o do_v appear_v that_o they_o do_v tolerate_v their_o member_n in_o such_o causeless_a reproach_n that_o then_o i_o think_v they_o be_v to_o be_v separate_v from_o answ_n no_o very_o put_v it_o in_o a_o like_a case_n suppose_v a_o child_n shall_v miscall_v and_o revile_v his_o mother_n sister_n i_o may_v say_v it_o be_v a_o fault_n meet_v to_o be_v correct_v yet_o not_o with_o so_o deep_a a_o correction_n as_o to_o be_v disinherit_v or_o that_o his_o mother_n shall_v be_v dispossess_v of_o her_o inheritance_n before_o it_o do_v appear_v that_o she_o do_v tolerate_v her_o child_n in_o such_o revile_n will_v such_o a_o speech_n infer_v that_o in_o case_n it_o do_v appear_v his_o mother_n do_v tolerate_v he_o that_o then_o his_o mother_n be_v to_o be_v dispossess_v of_o her_o inheritance_n the_o true_a meaning_n of_o my_o speech_n be_v to_o express_v that_o such_o a_o sin_n as_o reproach_v of_o a_o church_n for_o a_o sin_n may_v deserve_v a_o censure_n yet_o not_o forthwith_o excommunication_n much_o less_o the_o church_n to_o be_v excommunicate_v whereof_o such_o a_o one_o be_v a_o member_n and_o least_o of_o all_o before_o it_o do_v appear_v that_o the_o church_n know_v of_o it_o or_o do_v tolerate_v it_o the_o scope_n of_o my_o speech_n be_v not_o to_o hold_v forth_o the_o grievous_a desert_n of_o a_o reproach_n but_o the_o groundless_a proceed_n unto_o separation_n for_o a_o reproach_n both_o against_o a_o member_n and_o against_o the_o church_n that_o tolerate_v he_o without_o any_o further_a conviction_n or_o obstinacy_n which_o be_v the_o case_n in_o hand_n of_o mr._n williams_n some_o body_n he_o say_v reproach_v the_o church_n of_o salem_n for_o separation_n some_o member_n of_o some_o church_n but_o what_o member_n of_o what_o church_n he_o say_v not_o and_o yet_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o stumble_a block_n that_o turn_v he_o out_o of_o the_o way_n of_o communion_n with_o all_o the_o church_n in_o the_o country_n who_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v never_o hear_v of_o it_o unto_o this_o day_n let_v he_o now_o say_v that_o my_o own_o confession_n be_v sufficient_a answer_n to_o myself_o as_o if_o i_o grant_v that_o in_o case_n the_o member_n have_v be_v know_v who_o so_o reproach_v salem_n and_o the_o church_n know_v whereof_o he_o be_v a_o member_n that_o then_o there_o be_v a_o lawful_a separation_n from_o the_o church_n that_o do_v but_o tolerate_v her_o member_n in_o a_o causeless_a reproach_n yea_o and_o from_o all_o other_o church_n too_o that_o hold_v communion_n with_o that_o church_n for_o he_o be_v not_o ignorant_a more_o go_v to_o a_o separation_n then_o so_o unless_o he_o have_v forget_v
