commandment_n of_o men._n question_n ii_o but_o must_v not_o or_o may_v not_o the_o high_a power_n be_v at_o all_o concern_v in_o establish_v religion_n in_o their_o several_a dominion_n for_o their_o subject_n to_o conform_v thereunto_o answer_n first_o such_o of_o the_o high_a power_n as_o be_v without_o the_o knowledge_n and_o profession_n of_o christianity_n be_v not_o capable_a to_o establish_v religion_n so_o as_o to_o agree_v with_o the_o will_n and_o word_n of_o the_o holy_a god_n but_o they_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o establish_v a_o worship_n to_o a_o false_a god_n as_o the_o poor_a ignorant_a indian_n do_v or_o else_o establish_v the_o worship_v of_o the_o true_a god_n in_o a_o false_a manner_n as_o the_o jew_n and_o turk_n do_v and_o i_o hope_v that_o none_o will_v plead_v for_o the_o conformity_n of_o christian_n to_o such_o establish_v worship_n second_o such_o of_o the_o high_a power_n as_o be_v christian_n yea_o and_o such_o as_o be_v most_o right_o in_o the_o christian_a religion_n have_v not_o receive_v any_o authority_n from_o jesus_n christ_n to_o establish_v his_o own_o worship_n in_o their_o dominion_n so_o as_o to_o exercise_n outward_a force_n or_o by_o punishment_n to_o compel_v their_o subject_n to_o come_v to_o christ_n divine_a service_n objection_n but_o some_o will_v now_o be_v ready_a to_o say_v that_o christ_n have_v require_v the_o compel_a of_o person_n to_o be_v bring_v to_o his_o gospel-feast_n see_v luke_n 14.23_o and_o the_o lord_n say_v unto_o the_o servant_n go_v out_o into_o the_o highway_n and_o hedge_n and_o compel_v they_o to_o come_v in_o that_o my_o house_n may_v be_v fill_v answer_n that_o we_o may_v right_o understand_v these_o word_n of_o christ_n we_o must_v consider_v what_o kind_n of_o compel_v be_v intend_v by_o christ_n whether_o it_o be_v magisterial_a or_o ministerial_a compel_v first_o it_o can_v be_v magisterial_a so_o as_o to_o compel_v by_o penal_a law_n because_o jesus_n christ_n have_v not_o then_o give_v any_o such_o power_n to_o the_o magistrate_n of_o that_o time_n for_o they_o be_v opposer_n of_o christ_n his_o doctrine_n and_o his_o minister_n and_o do_v what_o they_o can_v to_o compel_v the_o professor_n of_o christ_n to_o conform_v to_o they_o in_o renounce_v christianity_n thus_o speak_v paul_n when_o he_o act_v by_o their_o authority_n act._n 26.10_o 11._o which_o thing_n i_o also_o do_v in_o jerusalem_n and_o many_o of_o the_o saint_n do_v i_o shut_v in_o prison_n have_v receive_v authority_n from_o the_o chief_a priest_n and_o when_o they_o be_v put_v to_o death_n i_o give_v my_o voice_n against_o they_o and_o i_o punish_v they_o oft_o in_o every_o synagogue_n and_o compel_v they_o to_o blaspheme_n and_o be_v exceed_o mad_a against_o they_o i_o persecute_v they_o unto_o strange_a city_n and_o since_o that_o time_n christ_n have_v not_o give_v any_o law_n to_o any_o of_o the_o high_a power_n to_o compel_v any_o of_o their_o subject_n to_o come_v to_o his_o divine_a service_n by_o inflict_v the_o penalty_n of_o imprisonment_n and_o forfeiture_n of_o great_a or_o small_a sum_n of_o money_n for_o their_o neglect_n second_o i_o do_v humble_o conceive_v that_o the_o compel_v which_o christ_n intend_v be_v to_o be_v understand_v ministerial_o viz._n that_o his_o gospel-minister_n shall_v take_v great_a pain_n in_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n so_o as_o to_o inform_v person_n judgement_n convince_v their_o conscience_n and_o to_o convert_v their_o soul_n that_o so_o they_o may_v from_o a_o principle_n of_o love_n to_o christ_n and_o his_o worship_n conform_v themselves_o thereunto_o and_o if_o after_o all_o such_o spiritual_a mean_n person_n be_v not_o bring_v to_o conform_v to_o the_o doctrine_n and_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n they_o must_v be_v leave_v to_o those_o punishment_n that_o christ_n will_v inflict_v upon_o they_o for_o their_o disobedience_n 2_o thes_n 1.8_o 9_o take_v vengeance_n on_o they_o that_o know_v not_o god_n and_o that_o obey_v not_o the_o gospel_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o shall_v be_v punish_v with_o everlasting_a destruction_n from_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o from_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o power_n but_o three_o i_o do_v humble_o conceive_v that_o the_o best_a of_o christian_a magistrate_n be_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v much_o concern_v to_o promote_v the_o christian_a religion_n in_o the_o purity_n of_o it_o according_a to_o the_o best_a of_o their_o knowledge_n brief_o thus_o first_o by_o be_v good_a pattern_n themselves_o in_o their_o own_o profession_n and_o practice_n of_o godliness_n 2._o by_o encourage_v a_o pious_a and_o painful_a ministry_n to_o work_v upon_o ignorant_a and_o obstinate_a person_n by_o sweet_a entreaty_n and_o strong_a argument_n but_o not_o at_o all_o to_o compel_v person_n to_o comply_v with_o spiritual_a matter_n by_o outward_a punishment_n because_o that_o be_v the_o ready_a way_n to_o make_v man_n hypocrite_n and_o such_o can_v be_v true_a member_n though_o they_o shall_v conform_v to_o the_o best_a of_o church_n question_n iii_o but_o what_o kind_n of_o subjection_n be_v intend_v unto_o the_o high_a power_n by_o those_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n paul_n rom._n 13.1_o let_v every_o soul_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o high_a power_n answer_n have_v already_o show_v that_o god_n servant_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o be_v subject_a unto_o the_o high_a power_n in_o conform_v to_o their_o establish_v religion_n it_o be_v now_o meet_v that_o we_o shall_v know_v what_o kind_n of_o subjection_n the_o apostle_n do_v require_v that_o so_o we_o may_v not_o come_v short_a of_o our_o duty_n to_o those_o that_o god_n have_v set_v in_o authority_n which_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o resolve_v as_o follow_v first_o by_o subject_v to_o the_o high_a power_n in_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o holy_a apostle_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v not_o resist_v the_o high_a power_n consider_v as_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n who_o place_n and_o office_n be_v to_o be_v a_o terror_n to_o evil_a doer_n and_o a_o praise_n to_o they_o that_o do_v well_o and_o if_o at_o any_o time_n these_o high_a power_n shall_v miss_v of_o the_o right_o use_v of_o their_o authority_n and_o deal_v hardly_o with_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n than_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o god_n servant_n to_o exercise_n patience_n and_o not_o resist_v by_o seek_v to_o avenge_v themselves_o see_v verse_n 2_o 3._o and_o this_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o same_o apostle_n in_o rom._n 12.18_o 19_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a live_v peaceable_o with_o all_o man_n dear_o belove_v avenge_v not_o yourselves_o but_o rather_o give_v place_n unto_o wrath_n for_o it_o be_v write_v vengeance_n be_v i_o i_o will_v repay_v say_v the_o lord_n and_o in_o verse_n 21._o he_o say_v be_v not_o overcome_v of_o evil_a but_o overcome_v evil_a with_o good_a and_o then_o come_v in_o these_o word_n let_v every_o soul_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o high_a power_n and_o thus_o to_o be_v true_o subject_a be_v not_o to_o avenge_v ourselves_o but_o to_o be_v peaceable_a under_o authority_n patient_o suffer_v for_o the_o cause_n of_o christianity_n and_o unto_o this_o agree_v the_o counsel_n of_o paul_n tit._n 3.1_o 2._o put_v they_o in_o mind_n to_o be_v subject_a to_o principality_n and_o power_n to_o obey_v magistrate_n to_o be_v ready_a to_o every_o good_a work_n to_o speak_v evil_a of_o no_o man_n to_o be_v no_o brawler_n or_o fighter_n but_o gentle_a show_v all_o meekness_n unto_o all_o men._n second_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o high_a power_n in_o the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v pay_v they_o their_o tribute_n and_o give_v they_o such_o reverence_n as_o be_v their_o due_n see_v verse_n 5_o 6._o wherefore_o you_o must_v needs_o be_v subject_n not_o only_o for_o wrath_n but_o for_o conscience_n sake_n for_o this_o cause_n pay_v you_o tribute_n for_o they_o be_v god_n minister_n attend_v continual_o upon_o this_o very_a thing_n render_v therefore_o to_o all_o their_o due_n tribute_n to_o who_o tribute_n be_v due_a custom_n to_o who_o custom_n fear_v to_o who_o fear_n honour_n to_o who_o honour_n and_o to_o this_o agree_v the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n peter_n 1_o pet._n 2.13_o 14._o submit_v yourselves_o to_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n for_o the_o lord_n sake_n whether_o it_o be_v to_o the_o king_n as_o supreme_a or_o unto_o governor_n as_o send_v by_o he_o for_o the_o punishment_n of_o evil_a doer_n and_o for_o the_o praise_n of_o they_o that_o do_v well_o now_o from_o these_o word_n of_o peter_n let_v these_o particular_n be_v consider_v concern_v submit_v to_o those_o in_o authority_n 1._o it_o can_v fair_o be_v understand_v to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o the_o servant_n of_o christ_n shall_v submit_v to_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n consider_v as_o decree_n

christian_n must_v have_v lest_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n according_a to_o the_o gospel_n and_o have_v conform_v to_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o jew_n when_o among_o they_o and_o to_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o gentile_n when_o among_o the_o gentile_n but_o by_o submit_v to_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n i_o do_v humble_o conceive_v be_v mean_v a_o submit_v to_o the_o several_a order_n and_o degree_n of_o power_n and_o dignity_n among_o man_n consider_v in_o authority_n viz._n first_o to_o the_o king_n as_o the_o supreme_a and_o chief_a in_o authority_n and_o second_o to_o such_o

distribution_n of_o justice_n so_o as_o to_o punish_v the_o evil_a doer_n and_o to_o encourage_v they_o that_o do_v well_o in_o all_o matter_n that_o shall_v come_v before_o they_o between_o man_n and_o man_n so_o that_o we_o may_v read_v and_o understand_v the_o word_n of_o the_o holy_a apostle_n thus_o respect_v the_o several_a degree_n of_o person_n in_o authority_n in_o england_n let_v the_o king_n be_v submit_v to_o as_o the_o supreme_a governor_n and_o let_v his_o privy_a council_n and_o the_o lord_n chancellor_n or_o lord_n keeper_n the_o lord_z chief_z justice_z with_o the_o
