two_o case_n of_o religion_n the_o first_o of_o idolater_n the_o second_o of_o those_o that_o disobey_v the_o consistory_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o idolatry_n be_v a_o sin_n which_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n convince_v and_o be_v always_o attend_v with_o the_o consequence_n of_o such_o horrible_a sin_n as_o the_o apostle_n declare_v that_o god_n suffer_v the_o gentile_n to_o fall_v into_o for_o their_o idolatry_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n beside_o that_o penalty_n by_o the_o law_n lie_v but_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o seven_o nation_n who_o god_n for_o their_o idolatry_n and_o the_o consequence_n thereof_o such_o as_o i_o have_v mention_v give_v up_o to_o destruction_n by_o the_o sword_n of_o his_o people_n on_o who_o he_o bestow_v their_o inheritance_n and_o in_o respect_n of_o israelite_n who_o god_n have_v enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o on_o condition_n to_o serve_v he_o alone_o have_v thereupon_o endow_v with_o secular_a power_n to_o punish_v the_o transgressor_n of_o it_o so_o that_o the_o power_n of_o inflict_a death_n in_o these_o case_n proceed_v upon_o the_o sentence_n of_o destruction_n and_o death_n pronounce_v by_o god_n against_o the_o seven_o nation_n and_o commit_v to_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o people_n and_o upon_o the_o sovereign_a power_n estate_v upon_o the_o people_n by_o virtue_n of_o their_o covenant_n with_o god_n which_o though_o more_o than_o humane_a for_o the_o original_a yet_o must_v needs_o be_v available_a according_a to_o humane_a right_n to_o the_o same_o effect_n which_o the_o same_o power_n establish_v by_o title_n of_o humane_a right_n be_v able_a to_o produce_v and_o therefore_o this_o penalty_n by_o these_o law_n can_v belong_v to_o any_o that_o absolute_o refuse_v to_o

to_o destroy_v civil_a society_n by_o destroy_v all_o they_o who_o in_o their_o madness_n they_o take_v for_o idolater_n as_o that_o wretched_a person_n do_v his_o father_n for_o persuade_v he_o to_o

state_n of_o god_n ancient_a people_n make_v but_o one_o society_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o law_n that_o estate_v they_o in_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n upon_o condition_n of_o worship_v god_n and_o govern_v themselves_o in_o their_o civil_a life_n according_a to_o the_o same_o by_o consequence_n whereof_o whosoever_o shall_v refuse_v to_o stand_v to_o that_o judgement_n which_o god_n by_o the_o law_n appoint_v to_o determine_v the_o difference_n which_o shall_v arise_v about_o the_o interpretation_n and_o limitation_n of_o that_o which_o the_o law_n have_v not_o express_v must_v endanger_v a_o breach_n among_o the_o people_n which_o it_o be_v all_o one_o whether_o you_o call_v rebellion_n or_o schism_n now_o it_o be_v no_o inconvenience_n to_o grant_v that_o whosoever_o shall_v pretend_v under_o the_o title_n of_o christianity_n to_o trouble_v the_o civil_a peace_n of_o that_o people_n and_o state_n wherein_o he_o live_v be_v think_v guilty_a of_o such_o punishment_n as_o the_o height_n of_o his_o offence_n shall_v deserve_v because_o as_o this_o crime_n be_v most_o capital_a as_o near_o concern_v the_o public_a so_o be_v it_o most_o manifest_a that_o christianity_n can_v be_v wrong_v by_o the_o punishment_n of_o it_o see_v it_o have_v be_v show_v that_o christianity_n enable_v no_o man_n to_o trouble_v the_o public_a peace_n so_o that_o if_o any_o man_n make_v it_o a_o part_n of_o his_o religion_n to_o maintain_v his_o religion_n by_o force_n be_v by_o such_o profession_n fall_v from_o the_o innocence_n of_o christianity_n he_o be_v just_o expose_v to_o the_o violence_n of_o all_o temporal_a law_n that_o punish_v those_o which_o trouble_v the_o public_a peace_n this_o be_v the_o case_n of_o they_o that_o think_v themselves_o tie_v in_o conscience_n by_o the_o bull_n of_o pius_n the_o five_o against_o q._n elizabeth_n and_o it_o be_v the_o case_n of_o all_o they_o that_o under_o any_o title_n of_o religion_n whatsoever_o pretend_v to_o maintain_v the_o profession_n or_o exercise_n thereof_o by_o faction_n or_o force_n for_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o see_v that_o the_o primitive_a christian_n maintain_v themselves_o so_o against_o the_o gentile_n that_o suppose_v they_o no_o christian_n yet_o it_o do_v appear_v that_o they_o can_v not_o rightful_o persecute_v they_o for_o their_o christianity_n which_o none_o can_v maintain_v but_o those_o that_o profess_v to_o assert_v their_o christianity_n by_o nothing_o else_o but_o by_o suffer_v for_o it_o and_o here_o it_o be_v worth_a our_o note_n that_o about_o the_o time_n of_o our_o lord_n there_o be_v a_o constitution_n of_o the_o consistory_n against_o rebellious_a elder_n as_o they_o call_v they_o that_o be_v such_o as_o have_v attain_v the_o degree_n of_o doctor_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v teach_v any_o thing_n to_o be_v lawful_a or_o unlawful_a by_o the_o law_n contrary_a to_o the_o determination_n of_o the_o consistory_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v put_v to_o death_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o maimoni_n in_o that_o title_n which_o how_o far_o it_o be_v ever_o in_o force_n be_v hard_o to_o be_v say_v because_o by_o the_o gospel_n we_o understand_v that_o the_o nation_n have_v not_o power_n of_o life_n and_o death_n at_o that_o time_n for_o that_o it_o be_v about_o that_o time_n that_o they_o say_v it_o be_v establish_v appear_v because_o they_o report_v it_o to_o have_v be_v make_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o difference_n then_o on_o foot_n between_o the_o scholar_n of_o hillel_n and_o sammai_n which_o we_o know_v be_v not_o long_o before_o our_o lord_n time_n this_o constitution_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o limitation_n of_o that_o which_o the_o law_n of_o deut._n xvii_o 8._o establish_v to_o particular_a circumstance_n and_o upon_o supposition_n of_o this_o constitution_n it_o be_v that_o our_o lord_n express_v the_o difference_n between_o moses_n law_n and_o his_o gospel_n when_o he_o say_v mat._n v._o 19_o he_o that_o shall_v break_v the_o least_o of_o these_o commandment_n and_o teach_v man_n so_o shall_v be_v least_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o he_o that_o teach_v and_o do_v they_o shall_v be_v great_a in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n for_o the_o very_a term_n of_o that_o constitution_n be_v death_n to_o he_o that_o shall_v both_o teach_v and_o do_v contrary_a to_o the_o determination_n of_o the_o consistory_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o our_o lord_n allude_v to_o that_o constitution_n of_o the_o synagogue_n declare_v hereby_o that_o on_o the_o contrary_a there_o be_v no_o penalty_n of_o death_n upon_o he_o that_o shall_v teach_v and_o do_v contrary_a to_o his_o precept_n as_o those_o of_o the_o consistory_n but_o great_a that_o be_v to_o be_v least_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n whereby_o he_o show_v that_o the_o gospel_n appoint_v no_o temporal_a punishment_n to_o those_o that_o break_v christ_n precept_n but_o deny_v not_o that_o civil_a state_n may_v for_o the_o

under_o the_o title_n of_o christianity_n be_v not_o by_o the_o gospel_n but_o by_o the_o civil_a power_n which_o it_o presuppose_v and_o void_v not_o because_o preach_v that_o christianity_n can_v be_v prejudicial_a to_o state_n it_o confirm_v as_o to_o christianity_n that_o power_n which_o all_o state_n have_v towards_o all_o religion_n to_o see_v that_o they_o prove_v not_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o public_a peace_n we_o have_v then_o two_o case_n of_o religion_n punishable_a with_o death_n the_o first_o when_o that_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v by_o the_o

xviii_o 18_o 19_o because_o he_o that_o give_v the_o law_n by_o moses_n might_n by_o another_o as_o well_o dispense_v with_o it_o yet_o it_o be_v manifest_o certain_a that_o nevertheless_o they_o
