that_o tertullian_n be_v a_o orator_n and_o amplify_v thing_n more_o than_o ever_o any_o writer_n in_o the_o church_n do_v it_o will_v be_v a_o very_a hard_a thing_n to_o make_v good_a all_o he_o have_v venture_v upon_o but_o there_o be_v something_o else_o very_o considerable_a as_o to_o the_o conduct_n of_o the_o primitive_a christian_n in_o the_o point_n of_o take_v arm_n there_o be_v many_o than_o who_o believe_v it_o altogether_o unlawful_a to_o use_v the_o sword_n upon_o any_o occasion_n either_o in_o war_n or_o judgement_n for_o the_o punishment_n of_o criminal_n this_o be_v a_o extravagant_a opinion_n a_o maxim_n general_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v false_a at_o this_o day_n so_o that_o patience_n be_v sometime_o a_o error_n and_o a_o piece_n of_o morality_n not_o well_o understand_v at_o the_o bottom_n it_o be_v not_o this_o fineness_n of_o conscience_n which_o hinder_v the_o first_o christian_n to_o defend_v themselves_o against_o their_o persecutor_n for_o the_o devotional_a person_n who_o morality_n be_v so_o severe_a be_v a_o small_a number_n in_o comparison_n to_o other_o and_o by_o the_o complaint_n which_o the_o father_n make_v of_o the_o christian_n manner_n in_o their_o age_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o collect_v that_o so_o many_o christian_n be_v then_o irregular_a in_o the_o other_o conduct_n of_o their_o life_n do_v not_o suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v massacre_v for_o conscience_n sake_n but_o because_o they_o be_v impotent_a and_o indefensible_a yet_o suppose_v the_o primitive_a christian_n do_v mere_o out_o of_o tenderness_n of_o conscience_n neglect_v to_o defend_v themselves_o it_o shall_v be_v confess_v they_o do_v not_o do_v ill_o and_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o those_o who_o do_v not_o imitate_v they_o do_v ill_o for_o it_o be_v always_o lawful_a to_o remit_v one_o right_a a_o man_n may_v do_v with_o his_o own_o what_o he_o will_v yet_o another_o man_n do_v not_o sin_n because_o he_o will_v maintain_v his_o right_n it_o be_v a_o very_a high_a degree_n of_o regeneration_n to_o quit_v one_o good_n to_o a_o unjust_a invader_n for_o avoid_v of_o resistance_n but_o still_o those_o who_o have_v not_o advance_v so_o far_o in_o their_o regeneration_n be_v not_o in_o a_o state_n of_o sin._n there_o be_v a_o difference_n between_o better_a and_o well_o he_o that_o give_v his_o virgin_n in_o marriage_n do_v well_o but_o he_o that_o give_v she_o not_o in_o marriage_n do_v better_a according_a to_o st._n paul._n suppose_v then_o these_o christian_n do_v better_a in_o not_o take_v up_o arm_n to_o defend_v themselves_o from_o persecution_n it_o do_v not_o follow_v but_o other_o may_v do_v well_o though_o they_o do_v otherwise_o and_o perhaps_o better_a in_o their_o different_a circumstance_n another_o objection_n be_v find_v out_o in_o the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n whosoever_o shall_v smite_v thou_o on_o the_o right_a cheek_n turn_v to_o he_o the_o other_o also_o and_o if_o any_o man_n will_v sue_v thou_o at_o the_o law_n and_o take_v away_o thy_o coat_n let_v he_o have_v thy_o cloak_n also_o first_o it_o must_v be_v observe_v that_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n design_v this_o for_o particular_a person_n not_o for_o society_n and_o corporation_n it_o be_v a_o extravagance_n to_o maintain_v that_o society_n and_o state_n and_o kingdom_n be_v oblige_v to_o submit_v

for_o the_o public_a good_a governor_n of_o state_n be_v oblige_v to_o act_v otherwise_o now_o the_o church_n be_v a_o corporation_n a_o society_n and_o by_o consequence_n ought_v to_o preserve_v her_o assembly_n and_o her_o subject_n and_o to_o do_v it_o in_o all_o those_o way_n which_o be_v lawful_a by_o the_o right_n of_o nation_n and_o of_o nature_n second_o our_o saviour_n there_o speak_v of_o worldly_a interest_n not_o of_o sacred_a thing_n and_o religion_n jesus_n christ_n never_o bid_v we_o quit_v our_o religion_n our_o temple_n our_o altar_n to_o he_o that_o will_v ravish_v they_o from_o we_o but_o to_o part_v with_o our_o coat_n and_o our_o cloak_n there_o be_v no_o manner_n of_o consequence_n from_o the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o certain_o our_o lord_n never_o have_v any_o design_n to_o convert_v the_o proceed_n of_o justice_n into_o crime_n when_o a_o man_n endeavour_v to_o run_v under_o covert_n from_o the_o violent_a persuit_n of_o a_o invader_n that_o will_v take_v away_o his_o good_n from_o he_o christian_a morality_n never_o push_v on_o severity_n at_o such_o a_o rate_n if_o then_o notwithstanding_o this_o precept_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v permit_v by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o resist_v a_o unjust_a oppressor_n that_o will_v take_v away_o our_o good_n from_o we_o by_o much_o strong_a reason_n be_v this_o commandment_n far_o from_o prejudice_v our_o right_n of_o defend_v religion_n by_o arms._n last_o this_o commandment_n be_v so_o far_o from_o favour_v such_o extravagant_a morality_n that_o it_o give_v no_o countenance_n to_o it_o for_o in_o this_o passage_n our_o saviour_n set_v forth_o how_o far_o our_o patience_n be_v oblige_v it_o be_v that_o we_o suffer_v moderate_a injury_n a_o box_n of_o the_o ear_n tolerable_a loss_n as_o to_o be_v rob_v of_o a_o cloak_n or_o such_o temporal_a good_n who_o preservation_n be_v not_o equivalent_a to_o the_o loss_n of_o our_o peace_n but_o he_o do_v not_o say_v if_o any_o one_o will_v take_v away_o thy_o life_n do_v defend_v it_o so_o that_o take_v our_o saviour_n word_n in_o the_o utmost_a rigour_n he_o have_v not_o leave_v it_o unlawful_a for_o a_o man_n to_o defend_v his_o life_n now_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o man_n to_o defend_v his_o life_n against_o tyrant_n that_o will_v take_v it_o away_o for_o temporal_a reason_n i_o can_v see_v why_o it_o may_v not_o be_v lawful_a to_o defend_v it_o when_o they_o will_v murder_v we_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o religion_n we_o ought_v then_o to_o suffer_v even_o to_o the_o last_o extremity_n but_o this_o extremity_n be_v come_v when_o they_o will_v ravish_v from_o we_o that_o which_o be_v more_o dear_a than_o life_n itself_o our_o religion_n and_o our_o eternal_a salvation_n another_o argument_n for_o maintain_v this_o piece_n of_o severe_a morality_n that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o take_v up_o arm_n for_o the_o defence_n of_o our_o religion_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o word_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o his_o disciple_n upon_o the_o samaritan_n deny_v he_o reception_n the_o disciple_n say_v to_o our_o lord_n will_v thou_o that_o we_o command_v fire_n to_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o consume_v they_o even_o as_o elias_n do_v the_o lord_n answer_v they_o you_o know_v not_o what_o manner_n of_o spirit_n you_o be_v of_o for_o the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v not_o come_v to_o destroy_v man_n life_n now_o what_o do_v this_o signify_v you_o shall_v have_v it_o in_o a_o word_n that_o it_o be_v never_o lawful_a to_o open_v a_o way_n for_o jesus_n christ_n to_o enter_v by_o force_n nor_o to_o establish_v the_o gospel_n by_o arm_n but_o if_o the_o samaritan_n have_v come_v to_o a_o house_n that_o belong_v to_o jesus_n christ_n or_o any_o of_o his_o disciple_n will_v have_v drive_v they_o out_o of_o it_o and_o disposs_v they_o think_v you_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v have_v order_v his_o disciple_n to_o be_v go_v and_o seek_v a_o lodging_n some_o where_o else_o i_o see_v nothing_o like_o it_o for_o once_o again_o there_o be_v a_o vast_a difference_n between_o attacking_z and_o defend_v the_o gospel_n have_v not_o take_v away_o from_o any_o man_n the_o right_n of_o defend_v himself_o against_o violent_a aggressor_n and_o this_o without_o doubt_v our_o saviour_n intend_v when_o he_o be_v walk_v in_o the_o garden_n where_o he_o know_v the_o jew_n will_v come_v and_o seize_v he_o by_o violence_n he_o then_o order_v his_o disciple_n that_o he_o who_o have_v a_o sword_n shall_v take_v it_o and_o when_o one_o say_v behold_v here_o be_v two_o sword_n he_o answer_v it_o be_v enough_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o repel_v the_o violence_n he_o be_v to_o meet_v withal_o for_o two_o arm_a man_n be_v not_o able_a to_o oppose_v the_o arm_a multitude_n that_o accompany_v judas_n but_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o his_o purpose_n to_o let_v his_o disciple_n know_v that_o upon_o such_o a_o occasion_n they_o have_v a_o right_a to_o
