A45124	The authority of magistrate about religion discussed in a rebuke to the preacher of a late book of Bishop Bramhalls, being a confutation of that mishapen tenent, of the magistrates authority over the conscience in the matters of religion, and better asserting of his authority ecclesiastical, by dividing aright between the use of his sword about religious affairs, and tenderness towards mens consciences : and also for vindication of the grateful receivers of His Majesties late gracious declaration, against his and others aspersions / by J.H.	Humfrey, John, 1621-1719.	1672 (1672)	Wing H3669; ESTC R20217	60,044	138

human_a obligation_n this_o i_o have_v say_v in_o my_o book_n and_o i_o add_v here_o when_o i_o say_v we_o distinguish_v not_o the_o will_n from_o the_o outward_a man_n in_o the_o obligation_n of_o

one_o thing_n and_o the_o understanding_n that_o i_o sin_n if_o i_o do_v it_o not_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v do_v it_o be_v another_o the_o one_o be_v that_o our_o divine_n mean_v by_o this_o term_n of_o the_o outward_a man_n still_o and_o the_o other_o be_v the_o conscience_n you_o may_v ask_v how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o when_o there_o go_v all_o this_o to_o a_o act_n the_o magistrate_n command_v so_o that_o the_o subject_n in_o his_o will_n and_o understanding_n so_o far_o as_o to_o do_v the_o thing_n be_v oblige_v we_o do_v yet_o call_v it_o but_o the_o outward_a man_n or_o forum_n exterius_fw-la and_o can_v distinguish_v it_o with_o all_o that_o from_o the_o conscience_n i_o answer_v we_o call_v this_o the_o outward_a man_n upon_o this_o account_n because_o it_o be_v the_o external_a act_n only_o that_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o magistrate_n government_n or_o can_v be_v require_v for_o themselves_o and_o the_o act_n of_o the_o will_n and_o understanding_n be_v not_o require_v but_o indirect_o in_o relation_n only_o to_o these_o external_a act_n therefore_o i_o say_v do_v we_o well_o call_v all_o this_o still_o but_o the_o outward_a man_n and_o this_o be_v distinguish_v plain_o from_o the_o conscience_n because_o a_o man_n may_v know_v that_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v not_o require_v of_o god_n and_o that_o god_n will_v not_o punish_v he_o though_o he_o do_v not_o do_v it_o when_o yet_o he_o do_v know_v that_o it_o be_v prudent_a for_o he_o rather_o than_o suffer_v and_o therefore_o will_v it_o in_o the_o one_o there_o be_v the_o external_a act_n with_o the_o will_n and_o understanding_n so_o far_o as_o that_o act_n be_v concern_v but_o so_o long_o as_o my_o understanding_n be_v that_o it_o be_v not_o god_n will_v but_o man_n will_n that_o i_o perform_v such_o a_o thing_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v do_v out_o of_o understanding_n and_o will_v as_o well_o as_o by_o the_o outward_a man_n but_o not_o out_o of_o conscience_n it_o be_v

not_o my_o knowledge_n of_o a_o thing_n and_o that_o i_o be_o to_o do_v it_o but_o my_o knowledge_n that_o it_o be_v god_n will_n or_o my_o knowledge_n of_o his_o judgement_n of_o the_o thing_n to_o be_v the_o same_o with_o i_o that_o make_v it_o conscience_n i_o think_v i_o be_o full_a enough_o now_o you_o may_v then_o object_n that_o i_o sometime_o seem_v in_o that_o book_n to_o make_v the_o obligation_n of_o the_o outward_a man_n to_o be_v negative_a not_o to_o rebel_v and_o another_o time_n to_o be_v positive_a also_o to_o some_o act_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a that_o from_o the_o beginning_n i_o do_v make_v the_o obligation_n of_o the_o outward_a man_n to_o lie_v in_o both_o these_o a_o necessity_n never_o to_o resist_v and_o upon_o that_o necessity_n to_o act_n rather_o than_o suffer_v but_o interest_n of_o fear_n or_o self_n preservation_n bind_v the_o reason_n as_o well_o as_o the_o sense_n i_o say_v true_a and_o that_o there_o be_v the_o reason_n then_o of_o the_o outward_a man_n which_o be_v one_o and_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o conscience_n which_o be_v another_o when_o my_o reason_n be_v the_o fear_n of_o suffering_n because_o i_o may_v not_o resist_v and_o therefore_o i_o will_v it_o be_v my_o outward_a man_n be_v bind_v but_o when_o my_o reason_n be_v that_o the_o thing_n have_v god_n authority_n and_o it_o will_v offend_v he_o if_o i_o do_v it_o not_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v then_o be_o i_o bind_v in_o conscience_n a_o human_a law_n which_o be_v for_o the_o common_a good_a bind_v i_o from_o reason_n of_o conscience_n a_o law_n which_o be_v

as_o to_o most_o term_n of_o art_n but_o they_o be_v not_o therefore_o to_o be_v leave_v both_o because_o of_o their_o constant_a use_n and_o also_o for_o their_o profit_n in_o the_o short_a cut_v which_o we_o get_v to_o what_o we_o will_v have_v by_o the_o use_n of_o they_o only_o they_o be_v very_o to_o be_v at_o once_o first_o thorough_o understand_v and_o then_o shall_v all_o that_o which_o
