A48309	A discovrse concerning Puritans tending to a vindication of those, who unjustly suffer by the mistake, abuse, and misapplication of that name.	Parker, Henry, 1604-1652.; Ley, John, 1583-1662.	1641 (1641)	Wing L1876; ESTC R212712	47,271	67

that_o either_o the_o temporal_a or_o the_o ecclesiastical_a magistrate_n must_v be_v in_o all_o case_n absolute_o predominant_a and_o that_o since_o the_o ecclesiastical_a ought_v not_o by_o christ_n own_o command_n therefore_o the_o temporal_a aught_o as_o have_v be_v further_o prove_v by_o sundry_a argument_n and_o scripture_n proof_n allege_v out_o of_o this_o famous_a politician_n so_o much_o of_o the_o temporal_a power_n and_o its_o necessary_a supremacy_n my_o endeavour_n shall_v be_v now_o to_o maintain_v that_o no_o ecclesiastical_a power_n be_v at_o all_o necessary_a in_o mere_a ecclesiastical_a person_n master_n calvin_n according_a to_o the_o popish_a ground_n maintain_v that_o spiritual_a jurisdiction_n differ_v from_o temporal_a and_o be_v not_o incompatible_a but_o assistant_n thereto_o because_o it_o propose_v not_o the_o same_o end_n but_o several_a which_o by_o several_a mean_n may_v be_v the_o better_o compass_v but_o the_o spiritual_a magistrate_n as_o i_o conceive_v can_v propose_v no_o other_o end_n than_o what_o the_o secular_a aught_o to_o aim_v at_o for_o either_o the_o prince_n ought_v to_o have_v no_o care_n at_o all_o of_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n and_o the_o good_a of_o man_n and_o that_o which_o be_v the_o prime_a mean_a of_o both_o true_a religion_n or_o else_o his_o end_n must_v be_v the_o same_o which_o the_o prelate_n aim_v at_o viz._n to_o vindicate_v religion_n by_o remove_v and_o correct_v scandalous_a offender_n second_o to_o preserve_v the_o innocent_a from_o contagion_n by_o the_o separation_n of_o open_a offender_n three_o to_o prevent_v further_a obduration_n or_o to_o procure_v the_o amendment_n of_o such_o as_o have_v transgress_v by_o wholesome_a chastisement_n this_o be_v beyond_o all_o controversy_n as_o also_o that_o the_o person_n and_o power_n of_o a_o prince_n be_v as_o sacred_a to_o effect_v these_o end_n as_o the_o prelate_n and_o certain_o god_n do_v not_o so_o sanctify_v their_o person_n and_o office_n for_o any_o less_o end_n and_o therefore_o in_o ancient_a time_n holy_a bishop_n do_v preach_v and_o recommend_v nothing_o more_o to_o prince_n than_o the_o care_n of_o religion_n though_o proud_a prelate_n now_o arrogate_v this_o only_a to_o themselves_o and_o though_o it_o be_v still_o apparent_a that_o no_o offence_n be_v so_o spiritual_a but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o civil_a evil_n as_o well_o as_o a_o blemish_n to_o religion_n forsomuch_o as_o true_a religion_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o a_o state_n and_o this_o can_v not_o be_v neither_o be_v prince_n answerable_a to_o god_n for_o the_o corruption_n of_o religion_n if_o god_n have_v not_o give_v they_o a_o supreme_a power_n and_o that_o effectual_a to_o bring_v all_o offender_n whatsoever_o to_o confession_n satisfaction_n and_o contrition_n or_o to_o expel_v they_o the_o congregation_n by_o themselves_o or_o their_o surrogate_n master_n calvin_n instance_n in_o adultery_n and_o drunkenness_n etc._n etc._n and_o say_v that_o the_o temporal_a power_n punish_v these_o by_o external_a force_n and_o for_o public_a example_n sake_n as_o it_o concern_v the_o state_n but_o the_o spiritual_a judge_n punish_v they_o without_o force_n internal_o for_o the_o amendment_n of_o the_o delinquent_n he_o may_v as_o well_o have_v name_v swear_v lie_a steal_a murder_a and_o all_o sin_n whatsoever_o and_o so_o have_v make_v all_o man_n twice_o punishable_a and_o the_o ecclesiastical_a court_n as_o full_a of_o business_n as_o the_o temporal_a to_o the_o great_a vexation_n of_o the_o state_n and_o danger_n of_o division_n out_o of_o this_o false_a ground_n only_o that_o temporal_a power_n have_v not_o a_o competence_n for_o the_o amendment_n of_o offender_n or_o for_o the_o care_n of_o religion_n but_o only_o for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o wrong_a party_n and_o the_o expedition_n of_o civil_a justice_n this_o be_v a_o way_n to_o erect_v regnum_fw-la in_fw-la regno_fw-la and_o to_o maintain_v such_o concurrent_a jurisdiction_n as_o can_v possible_o stand_v together_o for_o all_o be_v subject_a to_o sin_n and_o offence_n as_o well_o the_o spiritual_a as_o temporal_a either_o the_o one_o or_o other_o must_v go_v unquestioned_a and_o this_o may_v produce_v division_n or_o else_o both_o and_o that_o will_v cause_v most_o certain_a confusion_n both_o side_n here_o seem_v strange_o puzzle_v the_o rigid_a of_o the_o episcopal_a faction_n allow_v prince_n a_o coercive_a power_n over_o priest_n and_o prelate_n where_o they_o perform_v not_o what_o their_o duty_n be_v in_o their_o function_n or_o jurisdiction_n and_o this_o power_n require_v a_o high_a power_n of_o summon_v arraign_v and_o legal_o try_v they_o and_o yet_o the_o moderate_a of_o the_o presbyterial_a faction_n will_v have_v prince_n questionable_a tryable_a and_o punishable_a by_o the_o spiritualty_n this_o be_v a_o gross_a confusion_n which_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v so_o more_o plain_o in_o the_o sequel_n when_o it_o be_v more_o full_o clear_v that_o to_o prince_n alone_a god_n have_v precise_o commit_v utramque_fw-la tubam_fw-la and_o utramque_fw-la tabulam_fw-la too_o as_o our_o reverend_a andrews_n say_v it_o be_v true_a as_o calvin_n allege_v prince_n be_v son_n of_o the_o church_n they_o be_v in_o it_o not_o above_o it_o the_o word_n intend_v the_o church_n universal_a such_o as_o be_v both_o militant_a and_o triumphant_a past_a present_a and_o future_a for_o that_o have_v no_o other_o head_n but_o christ_n to_o that_o all_o prince_n and_o priest_n be_v equal_o son_n but_o take_v church_n for_o such_o or_o such_o a_o national_a local_a church_n and_o then_o the_o prince_n be_v head_n thereof_o under_o christ_n and_o the_o clergy_n be_v part_n of_o his_o charge_n and_o under_o his_o protection_n the_o same_o man_n also_o may_v in_o diverse_a respect_n be_v both_o father_n and_o son_n to_o the_o same_o man_n without_o confusion_n of_o relation_n a_o king_n a_o bishop_n may_v hear_v the_o word_n and_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n from_o a_o inferior_a minister_n a_o subject_a may_v be_v natural_a father_n to_o his_o prince_n and_o in_o this_o respect_n a_o filial_a subjection_n be_v due_a from_o the_o superior_a and_o so_o a_o king_n may_v refer_v his_o own_o case_n to_o his_o chancellor_n yet_o this_o destroy_v not_o the_o great_a high_a and_o more_o general_a superiority_n in_o other_o thing_n at_o other_o time_n and_o to_o i_o it_o seem_v that_o even_o in_o the_o exercise_n of_o the_o key_n the_o priest_n officiate_v under_o the_o prince_n as_o the_o chancellor_n do_v in_o matter_n of_o law_n even_o when_o the_o king_n own_o case_n lie_v in_o judgement_n before_o he_o and_o when_o perhaps_o he_o make_v a_o decree_n against_o his_o own_o master_n and_o contrary_a to_o his_o own_o master_n private_a advertisement_n and_o yet_o the_o king_n be_v not_o proper_o either_o lawyer_n or_o theologue_n though_o both_o be_v actuate_v and_o organise_v as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o soul_n like_o command_v oversee_v and_o overrule_n of_o his_o more_o sublime_a and_o divine_a power_n herein_o the_o priest_n also_o may_v learn_v a_o limitation_n from_o the_o lawyer_n for_o though_o the_o judge_n be_v bind_v to_o pronounce_v right_a judgement_n against_o his_o own_o master_n yet_o this_o hold_v not_o in_o all_o case_n alike_o because_o of_o his_o limit_a condition_n for_o in_o criminal_a case_n such_o as_o concern_v the_o safety_n of_o the_o king_n own_o person_n or_o the_o royal_a dignity_n of_o his_o call_n therein_o judgement_n must_v be_v utter_o mute_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o weak_a argument_n of_o master_n calvin_n though_o it_o be_v his_o best_a when_o he_o infer_v a_o necessity_n of_o a_o ecclesiastical_a judicature_n from_o hence_o because_o else_o the_o prince_n himself_o want_v punishment_n shall_v escape_v free_a for_o the_o reason_n be_v the_o same_o in_o matter_n of_o law_n the_o king_n be_v not_o questionable_a or_o responsible_a for_o personal_a crime_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v hold_v no_o political_a mischief_n beside_o if_o the_o prince_n shall_v not_o go_v unquestioned_a or_o undisciplined_a by_o the_o spiritual_a yet_o the_o supreme_a spiritual_a magistrate_n must_v and_o this_o be_v a_o equal_a if_o not_o a_o great_a mischief_n for_o both_o can_v be_v equal_o liable_a to_o the_o judgement_n of_o each_o other_o neither_o be_v it_o to_o much_o purpose_n that_o the_o example_n of_o bishop_n ambrose_n so_o harsh_o so_o unreverend_o treat_v pious_a penitent_a
