A81829	The povver of the Christian magistrate in sacred things Delivered in some positions, sent to a friend, upon which, a returne of his opinion was desired. With some considerations, upon the answer; and a digression concerning allegiance, and submission to the supreame magistrate. By Lewis du Moulin, History-reader of the University of Oxford.	Du Moulin, Lewis, 1606-1680.	1650 (1650)	Wing D2551; Thomason E1366_4; ESTC R209267	40,736	161

person_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o sovereign_a magistrate_n in_o who_o hand_n god_n have_v put_v the_o sword_n and_o that_o he_o have_v power_n over_o the_o life_n and_o good_n of_o the_o pastor_n of_o the_o church_n and_o may_v just_o punish_v they_o when_o they_o be_v perturbator_n of_o the_o public_a peace_n and_o become_v obnoxious_a by_o their_o wicked_a life_n that_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o magistrate_n be_v to_o restrain_v they_o if_o they_o behave_v themselves_o tyrannical_o in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o key_n and_o break_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o state_n consideration_n this_o alone_o be_v sufficient_a to_o evince_v that_o in_o a_o christian_a commonwealth_n there_o can_v be_v but_o one_o sovereign_a power_n over_o all_o person_n cause_n and_o action_n for_o it_o be_v

must_v be_v punish_v by_o the_o say_a magistrate_n and_o it_o be_v no_o less_o absurd_a to_o conceive_v that_o the_o magistrate_n may_v just_o put_v to_o death_n a_o minister_n or_o punish_v he_o with_o banishment_n &_o yet_o may_v not_o have_v the_o power_n to_o degrade_v he_o it_o be_v a_o rule_n in_o philosophy_n that_o if_o the_o whole_a be_v in_o the_o power_n much_o more_o a_o part_n of_o the_o whole_a and_o if_o the_o same_o supreme_a magistrate_n may_v just_o degrade_v he_o who_o doubt_v but_o he_o may_v as_o just_o challenge_v to_o himself_o the_o right_n of_o choose_v he_o else_o which_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o have_v choose_v the_o pastor_n himself_o he_o may_v put_v by_o not_o only_o the_o say_a pastor_n but_o so_o many_o one_o after_o another_o as_o be_v
