do_v it_o again_o when_o hezekiah_n restore_v the_o purity_n of_o god_n worship_n which_o his_o father_n ahaz_n have_v pollute_v it_o be_v say_v 29.25_o 2_o chron._n 29.25_o that_o he_o set_v the_o

what_o god_n himself_o have_v by_o his_o prophet_n command_v and_o therefore_o when_o david_n give_v to_o solomon_n his_o son_n the_o pattern_n of_o god_n house_n and_o of_o all_o the_o room_n and_o

regal_a but_o prophetical_a authority_n last_o since_o the_o objecter_n allow_v that_o over_o substantial_o as_o for_o example_n to_o make_v or_o command_v article_n of_o faith_n magistrate_n have_v no_o power_n methinks_v it_o demonstrable_o follow_v from_o their_o own_o concession_n that_o over_o circumstantial_o they_o have_v much_o less_o since_o substantial_o concern_v the_o essence_n of_o

unlawful_a to_o impose_v they_o for_o if_o in_o general_a the_o magistrate_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v whether_o i_o be_o a_o christian_n or_o not_o since_o as_o a_o man_n i_o have_v a_o title_n to_o

obj._n 2_o it_o be_v object_v again_o that_o there_o be_v many_o prophecy_n in_o scripture_n that_o magistrate_n shall_v own_v and_o defend_v christian_a religion_n 49.23_o isa_n 49.23_o and_o in_o particular_a that_o king_n shall_v be_v nurse_n father_n and_o queen_n nurse_n mother_n to_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o certain_o they_o may_v employ_v their_o authority_n for_o the_o beautify_v and_o adorn_v it_o in_o all_o such_o outward_a circumstance_n of_o worship_n as_o mere_o appertain_v to_o decency_n and_o order_n but_o i_o answer_v answ_n 1._o there_o be_v indeed_o many_o prophecy_n in_o scripture_n that_o king_n and_o inferior_a magistrate_n shall_v submit_v to_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o therefore_o they_o be_v to_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o model_n and_o regulate_v any_o part_n of_o his_o worship_n 7.18_o c._n 7.18_o for_o as_o in_o the_o opinion_n about_o the_o reign_n of_o the_o saint_n it_o be_v clear_a from_o scripture_n that_o a_o time_n will_v come_v when_o the_o saint_n shall_v rule_v the_o world_n as_o in_o daniel_n the_o saint_n of_o the_o most_o high_a shall_v take_v the_o kingdom_n and_o possess_v the_o kingdom_n for_o ever_o even_o for_o ever_o and_o ever_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o therefore_o they_o ought_v to_o take_v arm_n and_o by_o violence_n possess_v themselves_o of_o a_o earthly_a kingdom_n because_o this_o contradict_v so_o many_o other_o place_n wherein_o patience_n self-denial_n and_o wait_v upon_o god_n be_v enjoin_v they_o so_o in_o this_o case_n there_o be_v a_o vast_a difference_n between_o a_o magistrate_n become_v christian_a and_o his_o meddle_v with_o prescribe_v form_n of_o christian_a worship_n which_o no_o prophecy_n do_v ever_o mention_v nay_o on_o the_o contrary_a in_o stead_n of_o foretell_v any_o such_o imperious_a and_o authoritative_a rule_n of_o prince_n in_o religious_a matter_n the_o scripture_n mention_n their_o lowly_a and_o humble_a deportment_n as_o in_o david_n prophecy_n concern_v the_o messiah_n all_o king_n shall_v fall_v down_o before_o he_o all_o nation_n shall_v serve_v he_o and_o in_o isaiah_n king_n shall_v see_v and_o arise_v prince_n also_o shall_v worship_v 7._o psal_n 72.11_o isa_n 49_o 7._o nay_o in_o that_o very_a place_n where_o there_o be_v mention_n of_o king_n be_v nurse_n father_n it_o be_v add_v they_o shall_v lie_v down_o to_o thou_o with_o their_o face_n towards_o the_o earth_n they_o shall_v lick_v the_o dust_n of_o thy_o foot_n which_o place_n do_v rather_o argue_v the_o magistrate_n awful_a reverence_n of_o and_o respectful_a submission_n to_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n than_o their_o exercise_v authority_n over_o it_o at_o least_o thus_o much_o may_v be_v evince_v that_o though_o magistrate_n lose_v no_o power_n by_o become_a christian_n yet_o they_o gain_v none_o but_o in_o every_o thing_n be_v to_o act_v as_o servant_n to_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n from_o which_o as_o nothing_o may_v be_v take_v so_o to_o it_o nothing_o ought_v to_o be_v add_v no_o though_o it_o may_v be_v patronise_v under_o the_o name_n of_o decency_n and_o order_n which_o if_o we_o make_v to_o signify_v not_o natural_a but_o devise_v and_o fancy_v order_n it_o be_v that_o which_o all_o superstition_n plead_v to_o defend_v their_o unwarrantable_a tradition_n and_o invention_n by_o and_o therefore_o to_o pursue_v the_o simile_n a_o little_a far_o it_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v that_o king_n will_v so_o far_o prove_v nursing-fathers_n as_o to_o use_v their_o christian_a subject_n in_o this_o particular_a as_o nurse_n do_v their_o child_n i._n e._n only_o to_o put_v into_o their_o mouth_n that_o which_o the_o apostle_n peter_n call_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 2.2_o 1_o pet._n 2.2_o reasonable_a and_o sincere_a or_o unmingled_a milk_n i._n e._n only_a god_n word_n in_o its_o native_a purity_n without_o be_v sour_v by_o the_o harshness_n of_o imposition_n or_o corrupt_v

or_o by_o the_o severity_n and_o rigour_n of_o their_o law_n in_o small_a thing_n but_o in_o the_o piety_n of_o their_o life_n and_o strictness_n of_o their_o civil_a government_n for_o let_v magistrate_n once_o cleanse_v the_o soil_n of_o humane_a nature_n by_o make_v sharp_a and_o wholesome_a law_n against_o vice_n and_o immorality_n and_o then_o weed_v it_o by_o impartial_a punish_v of_o drunkenness_n and_o other_o disorder_n which_o the_o apostle_n call_v work_n of_o the_o flesh_n then_o religion_n will_v make_v its_o own_o way_n into_o man_n heart_n and_o produce_v a_o outward_a composure_n in_o service_n suitable_a to_o its_o own_o inward_a worth_n and_o excellence_n whereas_o the_o magistrate_n meddle_v with_o outward_a form_n beget_v only_o a_o face_n of_o religion_n which_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o loathsome_a in_o that_o it_o be_v use_v common_o as_o a_o cover_n to_o hide_v many_o foul_a enormity_n which_o without_o that_o mask_n no_o sober_a
