A35117	An apology for the Quakers wherein is shewed how they answer the chief principles of the law, and main ends of government : with several reasons why they deserve the liberty of their consciences in the worship of God : for all magistrates and rulers to consider of, lest they pervert justice and provoke the Lord to displeasure / by J. Crook.	Crook, John, 1617-1699.	1662 (1662)	Wing C7196; ESTC R25362	5,121	9

their_o subject_n under_o god_n the_o supreme_a lord_n of_o all_o two_o whether_o god_n have_v not_o authority_n over_o every_o man_n and_o whether_o his_o authority_n and_o power_n be_v not_o great_a than_o the_o power_n and_o authority_n of_o man_n one_o over_o another_o 3_o whether_o the_o magistrate_n command_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o what_o god_n command_v in_o the_o heart_n keep_v the_o true_a bound_n of_o government_n and_o exercise_v their_o authority_n in_o true_a understanding_n and_o righteousness_n or_o whether_o in_o so_o do_v they_o do_v not_o err_v in_o judgement_n and_o misguide_v the_o reign_n of_o government_n four_o whether_o the_o government_n of_o this_o present_a world_n be_v so_o manage_v as_o that_o god_n may_v also_o govern_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n according_a to_o his_o will_n and_o pleasure_n or_o whether_o they_o be_v so_o manage_v as_o to_o interrupt_v the_o law_n and_o power_n of_o god_n spirit_n in_o the_o conscience_n sure_o man_n be_v

authority_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o exercise_v the_o government_n of_o his_o spirit_n therein_o with_o the_o encouragement_n and_o not_o with_o the_o contradiction_n of_o the_o outward_a authority_n which_o may_v easy_o be_v in_o all_o government_n be_v the_o principle_n of_o reason_n subordinate_a and_o subject_v to_o the_o principle_n of_o life_n and_o do_v not_o take_v upon_o it_o to_o govern_v without_o or_o against_o it_o this_o will_v set_v all_o straight_a both_o in_o the_o governor_n and_o in_o the_o govern_v and_o this_o be_v my_o prayer_n to_o god_n that_o god_n will_v spare_v man_n but_o strike_v through_o principle_n and_o spirit_n that_o righteousness_n may_v be_v bring_v forth_o and_o the_o image_n of_o god_n exalt_v in_o man_n and_o unrighteousness_n subdue_v
