A80608	The bloudy tenent, washed, and made white in the bloud of the Lambe: being discussed and discharged of bloud-guiltinesse by just defence. Wherein the great questions of this present time are handled, viz. how farre liberty of conscience ought to be given to those that truly feare God? And how farre restrained to turbulent and pestilent persons, that not onely raze the foundation of godlinesse, but disturb the civill peace where they live? Also how farre the magistrate may proceed in the duties of the first table? And that all magistrates ought to study the word and will of God, that they may frame their government according to it. Discussed. As they are alledged from divers Scriptures, out of the Old and New Testament. Wherein also the practise of princes is debated, together with the judgement of ancient and late writers of most precious esteeme. Whereunto is added a reply to Mr. Williams answer, to Mr. Cottons letter. / By John Cotton Batchelor in Divinity, and teacher of the church of Christ at Boston in New England.	Cotton, John, 1584-1652.	1647 (1647)	Wing C6409; Thomason E387_7; ESTC R836	257,083	342

the_o duty_n of_o the_o first_o table_n the_o law_n of_o righteousness_n be_v as_o full_o and_o plain_o write_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o conscience_n of_o man_n as_o

of_o the_o material_a sword_n to_o assist_v the_o spirit_n of_o righteousness_n in_o the_o affair_n of_o conscience_n which_o pertain_v to_o the_o second_o table_n the_o truth_n be_v god_n need_v not_o the_o arm_n of_o flesh_n to_o help_v he_o that_o be_v he_o need_v not_o any_o help_n which_o the_o wisdom_n or_o strength_n of_o the_o creature_n can_v invent_v or_o bring_v forth_o which_o himself_o appoint_v not_o but_o yet_o god_n think_v it_o no_o dishonour_n to_o himself_o to_o make_v use_n of_o his_o own_o ordinance_n in_o their_o own_o bound_n to_o his_o own_o end_n nor_o do_v he_o then_o need_v they_o when_o he_o use_v they_o but_o we_o need_v such_o help_n for_o the_o performance_n of_o our_o duty_n both_o to_o god_n and_o man_n which_o make_v it_o a_o curse_a sin_n in_o

god_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n that_o either_o themselves_o or_o the_o commonwealth_n that_o choose_v they_o must_v needs_o have_v power_n and_o authority_n from_o christ_n to_o sit_v judge_n

civil_a state_n of_o man_n in_o the_o world_n that_o be_v not_o qualify_v with_o this_o discern_a and_o then_o the_o commonwealth_n have_v more_o light_a concern_v the_o church_n than_o the_o church_n

i_o say_v therefore_o that_o which_o no_o sober_a mind_n can_v contradict_v that_o though_o magistrate_n be_v bind_v to_o become_v wise_a and_o learned_a to_o know_v christ_n and_o to_o establish_v the_o religion_n of_o christ_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o as_o the_o discusser_n say_v evident_o follow_v no_o nor_o follow_v at_o all_o that_o then_o there_o be_v no_o law_n full_a commonwealth_n nor_o

the_o want_n of_o which_o make_v they_o defective_a and_o sinful_a but_o do_v not_o make_v they_o unlawful_a this_o will_v need_v no_o proof_n to_o any_o sober_a mind_n muchlesse_a will_v it_o follow_v upon_o the_o former_a premise_n that_o the_o very_a commonwealth_n have_v then_o more_o light_a concern_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n than_o the_o church_n itself_o for_o it_o be_v a_o
