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

not_o first_o a_o puritan_n for_o as_o mr._n can_n have_v unanswerable_o prove_v the_o ground_n and_o principle_n of_o the_o puritan_n against_o bishop_n and_o ceremony_n and_o prophanesse_n of_o people_n profess_v christ_n and_o the_o necessity_n of_o christ_n flock_n and_o discipline_n must_v necessary_o if_o true_o follow_v lead_v on_o to_o and_o enforce_v a_o separation_n reply_n 1._o if_o there_o be_v hardly_o ever_o any_o conscientious_a separatist_n who_o be_v not_o first_o a_o puritan_n than_o it_o seem_v that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o conscience_n in_o the_o separatist_n it_o be_v first_o wrought_v in_o they_o by_o the_o minister_n of_o those_o who_o he_o call_v puritan_n 2._o say_v it_o be_v true_a that_o he_o pretend_v that_o the_o principle_n and_o ground_n of_o puritanisme_n do_v enforce_v separation_n yet_o i_o do_v not_o understand_v what_o it_o make_v to_o the_o point_n in_o hand_n 3._o neither_o do_v i_o understand_v how_o it_o suit_v with_o the_o examiner_n profession_n who_o be_v wont_a to_o renounce_v all_o communion_n with_o antichristian_a invention_n so_o frequent_o to_o take_v up_o into_o his_o mouth_n and_o pen_v the_o nickname_n of_o puritan_n which_o be_v at_o first_o devise_v by_o sanders_n the_o jesuit_n to_o cast_v a_o reproach_n upon_o the_o person_n and_o way_n of_o reformer_n to_o render_v they_o suspicious_a and_o odious_a to_o the_o state_n the_o righteous_a hand_n of_o the_o lord_n strike_v he_o with_o madness_n who_o invent_v the_o name_n nor_o do_v he_o delight_v in_o they_o that_o delight_n to_o take_v up_o a_o reproach_n against_o the_o innocent_a 4._o how_o unanswerable_o mr._n can_n have_v prove_v the_o necessity_n of_o separation_n from_o their_o ground_n and_o principle_n i_o will_v not_o judge_v because_o i_o have_v not_o see_v his_o book_n but_o to_o separate_v from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o no_o church_n or_o false_a church_n from_o their_o ministry_n as_o a_o false_a ministry_n from_o their_o sermon_n as_o false_a worship_n from_o their_o professor_n as_o no_o visible_a saint_n and_o to_o prove_v all_o this_o out_o of_o the_o principle_n and_o ground_n of_o those_o holy_a saint_n of_o god_n who_o he_o misname_v puritan_n will_v require_v a_o strong_a efficacy_n of_o delusion_n to_o make_v it_o appear_v probable_a to_o a_o sad_a and_o judicious_a spirit_n that_o be_v not_o sorestal_v with_o prejudice_n or_o partiality_n but_o the_o examiner_n proceed_v in_o his_o answer_n to_o inquire_v what_o shall_v be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o separatist_n who_o witness_v against_o the_o root_n of_o the_o constitution_n itself_o shall_v find_v more_o favour_n than_o the_o puritan_n or_o nonconformist_a and_o he_o tell_v we_o doubtless_o the_o reason_n be_v evident_a 1._o because_o most_o of_o the_o separatist_n have_v be_v poor_a and_o low_a and_o not_o such_o gainful_a customer_n to_o the_o bishop_n their_o court_n and_o officer_n mr._n ainsworth_n himself_o though_o a_o worthy_a instrument_n of_o god_n praise_n live_v upon_o nine_o penny_n in_o the_o week_n with_o root_n boil_a etc._n etc._n reply_n in_o part_n i_o will_v not_o deny_v some_o truth_n and_o weight_n in_o this_o reason_n but_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v and_o it_o do_v but_o confirm_v what_o i_o say_v that_o the_o separatist_n find_v more_o favour_n than_o the_o nonconformist_a whatsoever_o the_o reason_n be_v the_o second_o reason_n that_o he_o give_v be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o principle_n in_o nature_n to_o prefer_v a_o profess_a enemy_n before_o a_o pretend_a friend_n the_o separatist_n have_v be_v look_v at_o by_o the_o bishop_n and_o their_o adherent_n as_o know_v and_o profess_a enemy_n whereas_o the_o puritan_n have_v profess_a subjection_n and_o submit_v to_o the_o bishop_n their_o court_n their_o officer_n their_o common_a prayer_n and_o worship_n and_o yet_o the_o bishop_n have_v well_o know_v with_o no_o great_a affection_n than_o the_o israelite_n bear_v the_o egyptian_n cruel_a taskmaster_n reply_n 1._o what_o the_o nonconformist_n do_v bear_v it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o they_o think_v they_o may_v bear_v with_o a_o good_a conscience_n according_a to_o the_o light_n they_o have_v receive_v if_o they_o do_v bear_v more_o than_o what_o in_o conscience_n they_o judge_v lawful_a to_o be_v bear_v they_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o bear_v with_o themselves_o in_o so_o do_v but_o if_o the_o bishop_n bear_v the_o less_o with_o they_o in_o such_o their_o subjection_n it_o be_v because_o they_o look_v at_o they_o not_o as_o pretend_a friend_n but_o as_o more_o dangerous_a enemy_n as_o know_v both_o that_o the_o lord_n be_v with_o they_o which_o make_v saul_n the_o more_o afraid_a of_o david_n 1_o sam._n 18.28_o 29._o as_o also_o that_o the_o ground_n which_o they_o give_v of_o their_o judgement_n and_o practice_n be_v more_o agreeable_a to_o scripture_n and_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o all_o reform_a church_n and_o therefore_o more_o likely_a in_o time_n to_o prevail_v to_o the_o utter_a overthrow_n of_o their_o usurp_a hierarchy_n but_o as_o for_o the_o separatist_n the_o bishop_n do_v not_o discern_v either_o the_o lord_n go_v forth_o in_o like_a sort_n with_o they_o or_o their_o ground_n so_o likely_a to_o subvert_v their_o freehold_n though_o the_o separatist_n strike_v at_o the_o root_n of_o the_o constitution_n of_o their_o church_n which_o be_v indeed_o a_o great_a blow_n then_o to_o strike_v at_o the_o root_n of_o episcopacy_n yet_o because_o the_o episcopacy_n see_v that_o the_o separatist_n strike_v at_o the_o thing_n of_o christ_n together_o with_o themselves_o they_o know_v such_o stroke_n will_v not_o much_o hurt_v their_o stand_n the_o next_o word_n which_o the_o examiner_n answer_v be_v unto_o that_o i_o say_v god_n have_v not_o prosper_v the_o way_n of_o separation_n neither_o with_o peace_n among_o themselves_o nor_o with_o growth_n of_o grace_n his_o answer_n be_v 1._o that_o want_n of_o peace_n may_v befall_v the_o true_a church_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n as_o they_o at_o antioch_n corinth_n galatia_n reply_n the_o distraction_n at_o antioch_n be_v soon_o heal_v by_o the_o counsel_n of_o the_o synod_n at_o jerusalem_n which_o be_v a_o way_n of_o peace_n which_o the_o church_n of_o the_o rigid_a separation_n have_v not_o know_v nor_o will_v condescend_v unto_o which_o make_v their_o dissension_n destitute_a of_o hope_n of_o reconciliation_n without_o separation_n one_o from_o another_o the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o church_n of_o galatia_n and_o corinth_n i_o do_v not_o read_v their_o difference_n be_v heal_v by_o separation_n but_o by_o listen_v to_o apostolical_a counsel_n 2._o his_o second_o answer_n be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o common_a character_n of_o a_o false_a church_n maintain_v by_o the_o smith_n and_o cutler_n shop_n to_o enjoy_v peace_n none_o dare_v for_o fear_n of_o civil_a punishment_n to_o question_n or_o differ_v etc._n etc._n reply_n though_o it_o be_v a_o common_a character_n of_o a_o false_a church_n to_o enjoy_v a_o force_a and_o violent_a peace_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o peculiar_a character_n of_o a_o true_a church_n to_o enjoy_v holy_a peace_n with_o god_n and_o one_o with_o another_o which_o where_o it_o be_v want_v there_o be_v something_o else_o want_v either_o in_o their_o faith_n or_o order_n 3._o his_o three_o answer_n be_v that_o god_n people_n in_o that_o way_n have_v sometime_o long_o enjoy_v sweet_a peace_n and_o soul_n contentment_n in_o england_n holland_n new-england_n and_o other_o place_n etc._n etc._n reply_n the_o answer_n have_v be_v more_o clear_a and_o evident_a if_o he_o have_v name_v those_o church_n who_o have_v long_o enjoy_v such_o peace_n in_o that_o way_n in_o that_o way_n i_o say_v of_o rigid_a separation_n separate_v from_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o altogether_o false_a in_o their_o constitution_n ministry_n worship_n and_o therefore_o refuse_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n in_o the_o best_a of_o the_o parish_n assembly_n it_o be_v a_o wise_a proverb_n of_o a_o wise_a than_o soloman_n the_o back_n slider_n in_o heart_n from_o any_o truth_n or_o way_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v fill_v with_o his_o own_o way_n they_o that_o separate_v from_o their_o brethren_n further_o than_o they_o have_v just_a cause_n shall_v at_o length_n find_v cause_n or_o at_o least_o think_v they_o have_v find_v cause_n just_o enough_o to_o separate_v one_o from_o another_o i_o never_o yet_o hear_v of_o any_o instance_n to_o the_o contrary_a either_o in_o england_n or_o holland_n and_o for_o new-england_n there_o be_v no_o such_o church_n of_o the_o separation_n at_o all_o that_o i_o know_v of_o that_o separate_a church_n if_o it_o may_v be_v call_v a_o church_n which_o separate_v with_o mr._n williams_n first_o break_v into_o a_o division_n about_o a_o small_a occasion_n as_o i_o have_v hear_v and_o then_o break_v forth_o into_o anabaptism_n and_o then_o into_o antibaptisme_n and_o familisme_n
