Nay he is so far from pressing a necessity of uniformity in such Cases that he presseth a necessity of bearing on each hand ver. 3. So that in the Apostles judgement the Church hath not Power to lay commands on the Conscience but must receive the weakest in the Faith ver. 1. leaving him to the liberty of his Conscience and to his subjection to his own Lord and Master to whom every Believer must give an account of what he receives and of what he obeys and performs ver. 10. and 12. 3dly Their setting up a Church-building Government and Discipline by the Magistrates Power This the Apostles no where taught nor practiced They converted men by the Power of the Spirit they cut down Errors Heresies Seducers and Hereticks by the same Word and they found the Weapons of their Warfare sufficient 2 Cor. 10.4 they had no need of running to the Magistrate But that Church those Doctrines that Government and Discipline which is set up by the Magistrates Sword without and against the Spirit that hath need of a carnal Sword to defend it against the Spirit and to cut down God's Witnesses whom he raiseth up to testifie against it for Schismaticks and Hereticks or its nakedness wil soon be made manifest it's ruin approach Now when the Lord hath judged all the Daughters of Babylon for these things then will he at length begin to plead with their Mother Babylon the great who hath gone a whoring from the Spirit and built up a gawdy Church without the Spirit which she hath defended by violence and blood drinking the Blood of the Saints who have been inspired by the Spirit to testifie against her Rev. 11.7 8. and hath taught all her Daughters to do the same to wit to drink the blood of the Witnesses against them even as she hath drunk the blood of the Witnesses that have testified against her And though because she hath had an half day more given her after her time seemed to be even expiring and after Judgement and Desolation was beginning to enter upon her though because of this she thinks the bitterness of death is past and she shall now sit as a Queen a Lady a glorious Church for ever Rev. 18.7 yet for all this is she come again into God's remembrance Rev. 16.19 and she shall see Widowhood and be cast into a Bed of Torment and all her Children into great Tribulation with her and she shall be desolate and naked and drink of the Cup and not repent that she might escape it Rev. 16.11 and 9.20 21. This is her portion from the hand of the Lord Oh happy is he whose eyes the Lord shall open to flee out of her for his life For the Lamb is arisen to make War and his Spouse is making her self ready for his pure Bed of Life his anger is kindled against all the Kings Powers of the Earth that stand in his way and though they fight never so resolutely against him and his meek ones they shall not prevail but the Lamb will overcome all for he is King of Kings and Lord of Lords and they that are with him in this Battle of his Spirit are called and chosen and faithful Rev. 17.14 And though this Woman the false Church in her various dresses is so strong every where getting the Earthly Powers and Authorities on her side that now it may be said concerning this Beast in the several appearances of it as was concerning the former Who is able to make war with her Yet there is an invisible Power stronger than she who will call her to judgement Rev. 18.8 and make her give an account of all the Saints blood which she hath drunk her self and which she hath taught her Daughters to drink And Salvation Glory Honor and Power shall be ascribed to the Lord for his righteous and powerful judging of her Rev. 19.1 2.
