enemy_n as_o for_o example_n if_o the_o king_n of_o france_n will_v proclaim_v a_o liberty_n to_o all_o the_o banish_a protestant_n be_v it_o not_o duty_n to_o they_o to_o embrace_v the_o offer_n ans_fw-fr this_o i_o deny_v and_o the_o reason_n be_v that_o this_o he_o must_v do_v either_o as_o a_o enemy_n or_o absolute_a master_n over_o the_o church_n or_o else_o as_o a_o friend_n and_o subject_a to_o the_o crown_n and_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n now_o as_o a_o enemy_n retain_v and_o adhere_v to_o his_o popish_a idolatry_n without_o repent_v of_o his_o cruel_a bloody_a tyranny_n former_o commit_v in_o this_o he_o can_v give_v a_o liberty_n to_o the_o gospel_n because_o it_o involve_v a_o contradiction_n by_o reason_n that_o he_o can_v serve_v two_o opposite_n viz._n the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o his_o popish_a idolatry_n for_o this_o be_v to_o build_v and_o destroy_v simul_fw-la &_o semel_fw-la that_o be_v to_o say_v once_o and_o together_o which_o be_v a_o complete_a contradiction_n according_a to_o our_o saviour_n word_n matth._n 6._o 24._o no_o man_n can_v serve_v two_o master_n for_o either_o he_o will_v hate_v the_o one_o and_o love_n the_o other_o or_o else_o he_o will_v hold_v to_o the_o one_o and_o despise_v the_o other_o that_o be_v to_o say_v he_o can_v with_o full_a diligence_n single_a love_n and_o fidelity_n serve_v they_o both_o they_o be_v opposite_n for_o love_n and_o fidelity_n terminate_v only_o in_o one_o single_a object_n so_o that_o from_o this_o you_o see_v that_o as_o a_o enemy_n he_o can_v never_o give_v liberty_n to_o the_o gospel_n second_o as_o a_o friend_n and_o subject_a to_o the_o crown_n and_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n he_o can_v retain_v a_o authority_n over_o the_o church_n that_o be_v supra_fw-la sacra_fw-la by_o prescribe_v bound_n and_o limites_n to_o the_o doctrine_n discipline_n and_o kingly_a government_n of_o christ_n jesus_n but_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n as_o a_o subject_a he_o be_v to_o exercise_v his_o power_n circa_n sacra_fw-la that_o be_v that_o the_o power_n of_o doctrine_n and_o discipline_n be_v faithful_o exercise_v in_o the_o land_n by_o these_o to_o who_o the_o power_n be_v commit_v and_o that_o according_a to_o god_n word_n without_o partiality_n and_o respect_n of_o person_n and_o when_o this_o or_o shall_v be_v than_o he_o declare_v himself_o to_o be_v guilty_a of_o death_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o former_a sin_n in_o shed_v the_o blood_n of_o innocent_a person_n by_o reason_n that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n require_v that_o such_o shall_v die_v as_o in_o num._n 35_o 31._o you_o shall_v take_v no_o satisfaction_n for_o the_o life_n of_o a_o murderer_n which_o be_v guilty_a of_o death_n but_o he_o shall_v he_o sure_o put_v to_o death_n and_o verse_n 33._o the_o land_n can_v be_v cleanse_v of_o the_o blood_n that_o be_v shed_v therein_o but_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o he_o that_o shed_v it_o now_o if_o the_o king_n of_o france_n act_n as_o a_o friend_n and_o subject_n than_o he_o will_v acknowledge_v his_o subjection_n to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n and_o then_o by_o consequence_n will_v deny_v any_o authoritative_a superiority_n over_o the_o gospel_n moreover_o in_o the_o next_o place_n protestant_n can_v never_o embrace_v that_o liberty_n as_o they_o call_v it_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v 1._o it_o set_v limit_n to_o the_o extent_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o its_o doctrine_n which_o be_v to_o go_v throw_v all_o nation_n and_o consequent_o all_o place_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o teach_v they_o to_o observe_v all_o thing_n whatsoever_o i_o have_v command_v you_o matth._n 28._o 20._o now_o if_o they_o shall_v declare_v this_o command_n faithful_o viz._n that_o popish_a idolatry_n be_v to_o be_v root_v out_o of_o the_o land_n and_o not_o to_o be_v permit_v and_o tyrrannie_n to_o be_v cast_v out_o and_o that_o the_o throne_n and_o state_n be_v to_o be_v reform_v and_o that_o man_n of_o truth_n fear_v god_n and_o hate_v covetousness_n be_v to_o be_v invest_v with_o the_o present_a power_n that_o justice_n may_v be_v execute_v on_o the_o guilty_a without_o respect_n of_o person_n now_o i_o think_v this_o will_v overturn_v their_o liberty_n and_o make_v it_o null_a and_o no_o otherways_o can_v they_o faithful_o do_v if_o they_o observe_v all_o that_o be_v give_v they_o in_o commission_n as_o faithful_a ambassador_n in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n who_o be_v to_o declare_v the_o whole_a will_n of_o god_n unto_o the_o people_n so_o that_o from_o this_o you_o see_v that_o a_o sinful_a indulgence_n be_v inconsistent_a with_o a_o gospel_n liberty_n and_o therefore_o nowayes_o to_o be_v embrace_v by_o any_o that_o profess_v jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v king_n and_o head_n of_o his_o church_n and_o that_o by_o reason_n that_o it_o cut_v off_o the_o doctrine_n discipline_n and_o kingly_a government_n of_o christ_n jesus_n by_o their_o subject_n to_o ●hat_n government_n which_o distinguish_v from_o the_o government_n of_o christ_n so_o that_o in_o this_o they_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o men._n obj._n but_o some_o will_v object_v and_o say_v if_o a_o heathen_a king_n will_v proclaim_v a_o liberty_n to_o the_o gospel_n be_v it_o not_o a_o duty_n to_o embrace_v it_o ans_fw-fr a_o heathen_a have_v no_o law_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v not_o to_o proceed_v in_o law_n against_o he_o either_o for_o his_o past_a or_o present_a practice_n for_o the_o scripture_n say_v where_o be_v no_o lw_n there_o be_v no_o transgression_n rom_n 4._o 15._o that_o be_v to_o say_v ●hey_n can_v be_v accuse_v of_o defection_n from_o that_o law_n which_o they_o never_o receive_v and_o consequent_o can_v be_v punish_v whatever_o judgement_n the_o lord_n may_v inflect_v upon_o they_o for_o their_o ignorance_n and_o misery_n now_o papest_n or_o malignant_n profess_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n and_o pretend_v to_o be_v under_o law_n therefore_o we_o be_v to_o see_v to_o the_o right_a manner_n and_o exercise_n of_o that_o law_n that_o it_o be_v according_a to_o the_o will_n and_o word_n of_o the_o lawgiver_n moreover_o as_o to_o a_o heathen_n proclaim_v of_o liberty_n in_o this_o we_o be_v not_o to_o give_v ear_n for_o beliver_v his_fw-mi this_o in_o commission_n already_o to_o go_v throw_v all_o nation_n also_o it_o be_v christ_n right_a and_o prerogative_n psal_n 2_o 8_o i_o shall_v give_v thou_o the_o heathen_a for_o thin_a inherietance_n now_o all_o that_o beliver_v be_v to_o do_v in_o this_o be_v that_o the_o occasion_n and_o encouragement_n be_v the_o strong_a but_o but_o not_o their_o commission_n moreover_o in_o the_o next_o place_n you_o say_v there_o be_v three_o doctrinal_a mistake_v that_o occasion_n our_o division_n 1_o because_o we_o think_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v duty_n therefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v do_v at_o all_o season_n and_o we_o consider_v not_o that_o a_o thing_n may_v be_v good_a on_o the_o matter_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v do_v at_o all_o time_n i_o ans_fw-fr we_o acknowledge_v prudence_n be_v to_o be_v exercise_v in_o go_v about_o duty_n but_o however_o it_o have_v a_o time_n which_o time_n we_o fear_v you_o will_v deny_v if_o put_v to_o it_o or_o if_o you_o shall_v go_v about_o this_o duty_n i_o fear_v according_a to_o your_o former_a practice_n it_o will_v be_v unseasonable_a as_o for_o exemple_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o your_o late_a king_n you_o do_v never_o cry_v out_o against_o his_o sin_n so_o long_o as_o he_o be_v in_o power_n commit_v they_o but_o when_o his_o back_n be_v at_o the_o wall_n and_o the_o lord_n judgement_n pour_a down_n upon_o he_o than_o you_o do_v give_v witness_n which_o witness_n be_v unseasonable_a by_o reason_n of_o your_o unfaithfulness_n the_o other_o be_v ●hat_n we_o can_v maintain_v union_n with_o any_o that_o differ_v from_o we_o and_o come_v not_o up_o to_o our_o mind_n in_o all_o thing_n ans_fw-fr we_o denay_v to_o have_v any_o proper_a or_o peculiar_a judgement_n or_o mind_n but_o what_o have_v be_v receive_v own_a and_o avow_v by_o our_o ancestor_n in_o the_o confession_n of_o faith_n and_o covenant_n and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o new_a step_n of_o reformation_n start_v by_o you_o or_o we_o for_o the_o time_n here_o after_o we_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v prudent_o and_o tender_o carry_v on_o and_o not_o by_o division_n the_o three_o be_v that_o where_o we_o apprehend_v person_n guilty_a of_o sin_n we_o can_v have_v communion_n with_o they_o unless_o they_o explicit_o and_o public_o confess_v the_o same_o answer_n we_o denaie_v likewaies_o to_o have_v any_o peculiar_a apprehension_n of_o guilt_n but_o only_o what_o the_o scripture_n condemn_v and_o the_o act_n and_o constitution_n of_o our_o church_n and_o be_v not_o agreeable_a to_o
