time_n be_v in_o your_o judgement_n fit_a to_o be_v extirpate_v by_o magistrate_n and_o ruler_n in_o their_o own_o vindication_n because_o as_o you_o tell_v i_o 19_o the_o permission_n of_o such_o a_o power_n over_o their_o subject_n as_o will_v not_o only_o possess_v a_o interest_n in_o their_o conscience_n but_o be_v strengthen_v as_o a_o secular_a empire_n by_o a_o close_a connection_n of_o all_o the_o part_n of_o it_o and_o a_o exact_a dependence_n and_o subordination_n will_v render_v their_o own_o precarious_a how_o unfit_a this_o be_v to_o fall_v from_o the_o pen_n of_o a_o person_n that_o make_v profession_n of_o christianity_n yourself_o may_v better_o be_v able_a to_o judge_v if_o you_o suppose_v that_o you_o have_v stand_v before_o decius_n or_o dioclesian_n to_o give_v your_o advice_n concern_v the_o state_n of_o christian_n and_o the_o manner_n how_o they_o be_v to_o be_v treat_v for_o have_v you_o then_o speak_v your_o mind_n free_o as_o you_o have_v now_o express_v it_o it_o will_v have_v be_v to_o this_o effect_n among_o the_o christian_n o_o emperor_n there_o have_v general_o obtain_v a_o form_n of_o external_n government_n which_o be_v very_o useful_a indeed_o to_o they_o but_o to_o you_o as_o dangerous_a for_o it_o possess_v a_o interest_n in_o the_o conscience_n of_o your_o subject_n it_o be_v strengthen_v by_o a_o close_a connection_n and_o a_o exact_a dependence_n and_o subordination_n of_o its_o part_n and_o be_v so_o it_o render_v your_o own_o power_n precarious_a i_o therefore_o think_v that_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o you_o to_o oppose_v it_o if_o you_o will_v be_v safe_a upon_o the_o throne_n and_o not_o weak_o abandon_v the_o defence_n of_o your_o own_o inherent_a prerogative_n but_o to_o this_o the_o christian_n may_v have_v reply_v that_o what_o you_o have_v suggest_v be_v false_a and_o injurious_a that_o no_o danger_n arrive_v to_o the_o emperor_n from_o the_o form_n or_o administration_n of_o that_o government_n which_o obtain_v among_o they_o or_o from_o the_o exercise_n of_o their_o religion_n in_o their_o assembly_n but_o much_o advantage_n rather_o to_o himself_o and_o his_o dominion_n for_o example_n by_o their_o discipline_n 1675._o they_o do_v not_o usurp_v his_o prerogative_n but_o put_v great_a restraint_n upon_o vice_n than_o he_o do_v by_o his_o law_n by_o their_o solemn_a prayer_n 1651._o they_o endeavour_v not_o to_o engage_v heaven_n against_o he_o but_o to_o draw_v down_o blessing_n on_o he_o and_o by_o hear_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n 64._o they_o be_v not_o instruct_v in_o the_o art_n of_o sedition_n but_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o principality_n and_o power_n and_o to_o pay_v tribute_n and_o custom_n fear_v and_o honour_n to_o who_o they_o be_v due_a by_o their_o sacramental_a engagement_n 97._o they_o do_v not_o carry_v on_o any_o wicked_a design_n but_o bind_v themselves_o not_o to_o commit_v any_o theft_n or_o robbery_n not_o to_o break_v their_o faith_n or_o promise_n nor_o to_o conceal_v or_o keep_v back_o a_o pledge_n and_o they_o that_o so_o careful_o avoid_v all_o injustice_n be_v far_o enough_o from_o invade_v the_o right_n of_o prince_n and_o can_v not_o but_o be_v useful_a member_n of_o humane_a society_n it_o be_v true_a the_o heathen_a emperor_n be_v sometime_o under_o apprehension_n of_o danger_n from_o their_o assembly_n but_o plinius_n secundus_n 151._o can_v discover_v nothing_o in_o they_o that_o may_v give_v any_o just_a occasion_n to_o such_o fear_n or_o create_v disturbance_n to_o the_o empire_n tertullian_n 32._o who_o know_v they_o better_o speak_v with_o great_a assurance_n of_o their_o innocence_n he_o profess_v that_o if_o they_o be_v not_o unlike_o the_o seditious_a society_n or_o faction_n which_o be_v unlawful_a they_o ought_v both_o to_o be_v involve_v in_o the_o same_o condemnation_n but_o say_v he_o we_o be_v the_o same_o be_v assemble_v as_o when_o we_o be_v disperse_v we_o be_v the_o same_o all_o together_o as_o when_o we_o be_v take_v single_o and_o apart_o hurt_v no_o man_n grieve_v no_o man_n the_o union_n of_o person_n so_o inoffensive_a and_o so_o ready_a to_o render_v to_o all_o their_o due_a can_v not_o be_v pernicious_a to_o any_o especial_o not_o to_o the_o magistrate_n the_o government_n which_o be_v establish_v among_o they_o can_v not_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o that_o of_o the_o state_n for_o however_o they_o be_v distinguish_v from_o one_o another_o yet_o be_v they_o both_o preserve_v together_o the_o authority_n of_o spiritual_a ruler_n do_v subsist_v without_o
