A64939	A review and examination of a book bearing the title of The history of the indulgence wherein the lawfulness of the acceptance of the peaceable exercise of the ministry granted by the Acts of the magistrates indulgence is demonstrated, contrary objections answered, and the vindication of such as withdraw from hearing indulged ministers is confuted : to which is added a survey of the mischievous absurdities of the late bond and Sanquhair declaration.

of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n to_o minister_n and_o not_o to_o magistrate_n and_o that_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o house_n of_o god_n ecclesiastical_a matter_n must_v be_v do_v according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n and_o not_o according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o the_o magistrate_n and_o though_o they_o with_o grief_n regret_v the_o breach_n make_v in_o the_o order_n

appear_v what_o be_v the_o testimony_n which_o they_o mean_v for_o if_o one_o instead_o of_o preach_v the_o gospel_n have_v make_v a_o invective_n discourse_n against_o the_o ruler_n and_o treat_v they_o at_o the_o rate_n that_o they_o be_v treat_v in_o this_o band_n and_o so_o render_v they_o and_o their_o authority_n despicable_a and_o hateful_a o_o that_o be_v a_o preach_n of_o the_o whole_a

against_o prelacy_n and_o erastianism_n by_o other_o minister_n because_o they_o also_o do_v preach_v the_o duty_n which_o subject_n owe_v to_o the_o magistrate_n and_o maintain_v their_o lawful_a authority_n as_o god_n ordinance_n and_o pray_v for_o the_o king_n and_o subordinate_a magistrate_n the_o testimony_n which_o some_o of_o these_o people_n who_o be_v upon_o the_o secret_a which_o have_v now_o break_v out_o be_v seek_v be_v something_o which_o may_v render_v the_o magistrate_n hateful_a and_o cast_v he_o out_o of_o the_o affection_n of_o the_o subject_n and_o so_o make_v way_n

magistrate_n derive_v their_o authority_n from_o the_o king_n they_o be_v high_o injurious_a to_o presbyterian_a minister_n in_o allege_v that_o they_o have_v not_o bear_v testimony_n to_o that_o truth_n which_o christ_n witness_v before_o pontius_n pilate_n viz._n that_o christ_n be_v a_o king_n for_o they_o declare_v it_o private_o and_o public_o in_o their_o place_n and_o station_n that_o christ_n be_v a_o king_n and_o that_o he_o have_v a_o spiritual_a kingdom_n distinct_a from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o this_o world_n but_o no_o way_n prejudicial_a to_o earthly_a kingdom_n but_o where_o
