meddle_v with_o they_o as_o to_o be_v liable_a to_o a_o appeal_n to_o he_o as_o the_o supreme_a judge_n in_o all_o church_n matter_n we_o contrary_a to_o all_o these_o shall_v make_v out_o this_o

the_o whole_a to_o some_o use_n 1._o first_o for_o clear_v the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n take_v this_o assertion_n that_o however_o we_o do_v not_o give_v the_o civil_a magistrate_n power_n of_o church_n discipline_n or_o the_o power_n of_o govern_v the_o church_n yet_o we_o give_v he_o much_o power_n about_o church_n matter_n our_o divine_n follow_v the_o word_n of_o god_n give_v the_o

the_o christian_a magistrate_n be_v to_o do_v three_o thing_n 1._o by_o his_o power_n he_o be_v to_o encourage_v countenance_n and_o advance_v by_o his_o authority_n and_o example_n the_o public_a exercise_n of_o all_o god_n ordinance_n and_o so_o defend_v the_o church_n in_o her_o liberty_n that_o be_v give_v to_o she_o by_o christ_n this_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o those_o godly_a king_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n so_o do_v asa_n 2_o chron._n 15._o to_o verse_n ●8_o and_o jehoshaphat_n 2_o chron._n 1._o 8_o 9_o 10_o 11._o and_o other_o godly_a king_n they_o encourage_v other_o in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n they_o countenance_v they_o and_o by_o their_o authority_n and_o example_n allure_v other_o to_o the_o practice_n of_o godliness_n which_o i_o ower_n christian_n magistrate_n have_v yet_o 2._o by_o this_o power_n they_o be_v to_o provide_v the_o church_n with_o all_o external_a necessary_n as_o public_a convenient_a place_n of_o meeting_n for_o god_n worship_n and_o public_a mantainance_n for_o the_o church_n officer_n &c_n &c_n this_o we_o see_v be_v hezekiah_n practice_n 2_o chron._n 31._o 4._o moreover_o he_o command_v the_o people_n that_o dwell_v in_o

chron._n 34._o he_o repair_v the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o public_a place_n of_o god_n worship_n 3._o by_o this_o defend_n power_n of_o the_o christian_a magistrate_n he_o be_v to_o remove_v all_o outward_a impediment_n lie_v in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n worship_n such_o as_o profanity_n idolatry_n heresy_n and_o blaspemy_n as_o we_o do_v prove_v at_o length_n in_o the_o former_a controversy_n second_o we_o give_v to_o the_o christian_a magistrate_n a_o rule_v power_n about_o church_n matter_n by_o this_o power_n 1_o he_o may_v convocate_v church_n judicatories_n command_v they_o to_o meet_v and_o to_o enact_v canon_n and_o to_o make_v rule_n for_o govern_v the_o church_n although_o he_o can_v make_v church_n law_n himself_o so_o pious_a magistrate_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n do_v call_v synod_n as_o david_n 1_o chron._n 23_o 2._o and_o he_o gather_v together_o all_o the_o prince_n of_o israel_n with_o the_o priest_n and_o levite_n 2._o by_o this_o power_n the_o christian_a magistrate_n be_v to_o confirm_v the_o act_n of_o the_o church_n judicatories_n and_o to_o give_v the_o force_n of_o a_o civil_a law_n only_o herein_o we_o differ_v from_o the_o papist_n they_o say_v the_o magistrate_n shall_v do_v this_o blind_o he_o be_v only_o say_v they_o the_o church_n echo_n to_o ●ay_n amen_o to_o what_o they_o conclude_v but_o we_o say_v the_o magistrate_n be_v not_o to_o do_v this_o blind_o we_o allow_v to_o he_o a_o judgement_n of_o discretion_n to_o try_v whether_o what_o they_o conclude_v be_v right_a or_o not_o and_o according_o he_o be_v to_o add_v his_o authority_n or_o not_o and_o yet_o this_o make_v he_o not_o a_o judge_n in_o church_n matter_n but_o only_o a_o judge_n of_o his_o own_o action_n 3._o by_o this_o power_n the_o magistrate_n be_v to_o take_v inspection_n of_o the_o carriage_n of_o church_n judicatories_n so_o that_o all_o thing_n be_v right_o manage_v by_o they_o so_o as_o if_o they_o shall_v conclude_v a_o point_n of_o injustice_n though_o he_o may_v not_o rescind_v their_o act_n himself_o yet_o he_o may_v command_v they_o to_o resume_v the_o the_o matter_n take_v it_o to_o their_o second_o thought_n give_v reason_n to_o the_o contrair_a exhort_v they_o to_o their_o duty_n from_o time_n to_o time_n until_o the_o matter_n be_v right_o conclude_v only_o it_o be_v still_o the_o church_n judicatory_a that_o must_v rescind_v their_o own_o act._n by_o this_o roll_a power_n the_o magistrate_n may_v do_v much_o when_o the_o church_n be_v corrupt_a he_o may_v reform_v it_o that_o be_v when_o church_n judicatories_n be_v all_o wrong_n that_o they_o will_v do_v nothing_o for_o his_o upstirring_a in_o this_o case_n the_o magistrate_n may_v lay_v the_o church_n judicatory_a aside_o and_o do_v that_o himself_o which_o they_o shall_v do_v his_o power_n in_o this_o case_n be_v extraordinary_a he_o may_v reform_v by_o his_o own_o power_n as_o godly_a josiah_n do_v 2_o king_n 23._o and_o as_o asa_n and_o jehoshaphat_n at_o such_o a_o time_n magistrate_n may_v do_v much_o this_o way_n but_o extraordinary_a case_n be_v not_o to_o be_v make_v ordinary_a rule_n three_o we_o give_v to_o the_o magistrate_n a_o coactive_a punish_a power_n about_o church-matter_n and_o by_o this_o power_n we_o affirm_v that_o all_o the_o person_n of_o churchman_n and_o their_o good_n be_v liable_a to_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n in_o thing_n civil_a according_a to_o that_o let_v every_o soul_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o high_a power_n contrary_a to_o what_o the_o papist_n teach_v so_o that_o if_o a_o churchman_n shall_v commit_v a_o civil_a crime_n the_o magistrate_n by_o his_o own_o power_n may_v punish_v he_o as_o solomon_n do_v abiathar_n 2._o by_o this_o coactive_a punish_a power_n he_o may_v see_v to_o the_o observation_n of_o divine_a and_o church_n law_n and_o punish_v those_o that_o be_v contemner_n of_o they_o by_o civil_a punishment_n there_o be_v several_a example_n of_o this_o as_o that_o of_o josiah_n he_o make_v all_o the_o people_n stand_v to_o the_o covenant_n now_o by_o all_o that_o be_v say_v you_o may_v easy_o perceive_v that_o we_o give_v to_o caesar_n that_o which_o be_v caesar_n although_o we_o give_v he_o not_o what_o be_v god_n we_o give_v he_o much_o power_n about_o the_o church_n but_o not_o the_o power_n of_o govern_v the_o church_n we_o shall_v clear_v this_o by_o a_o simile_n how_o the_o magistrate_n may_v have_v much_o power_n about_o church-matter_n although_o not_o power_n of_o govern_v the_o church_n you_o know_v the_o civil_a magistrate_n or_o church_n session_n have_v much_o power_n about_o matter_n belong_v to_o husband_n and_o wife_n parent_n and_o child_n so_o as_o to_o censure_v and_o punish_v they_o for_o their_o unnatural_a carriage_n towards_o each_o other_o and_o to_o see_v every_o one_o do_v duty_n to_o another_o and_o yet_o neither_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n nor_o church_n session_n have_v marital_a or_o husbandly_a power_n over_o the_o wife_n or_o parental_a power_n over_o the_o child_n so_o as_o they_o may_v challenge_v the_o same_o duty_n from_o they_o to_o be_v do_v to_o themselves_o which_o the_o
