A81905	A case of conscience concerning ministers medling with state matters in or out of their sermons resolved more satisfactorily then heretofore. Wherein amongst other particulars, these matters are insisted upon, and cleared. 1 How all controversies and debates among Christians ought to be handled regularly, and conscionably to edification by those that meddle therewith. 2 What the proper employments are of Christian magistrates, and Gospel-Ministers, as their works are distinct, and should be concurrent for the publick good at all times. 3 What the way of Christianity is, whereby at this time our present distractions, and publick breaches may be healed : if magistrates and ministers neglect not the main duties of their respective callings. Where a ground is layed to satisfie the scruple of the Demurrer, and of the Grand Case of Conscience. / Written by John Dury, minister of the Gospel, to give a friend satisfaction: and published at the desire of many.

towards_o those_o protection_n and_o favour_n be_v the_o work_n of_o mercy_n towards_o these_o to_o discover_v and_o to_o punish_v they_o be_v the_o work_n of_o judgement_n whence_o we_o may_v

as_o many_o use_n to_o do_v for_o david_n here_o set_v himself_o as_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n to_o speak_v and_o make_v profession_n of_o his_o duty_n unto_o he_o unto_o thou_o o_o lord_n

and_o sovereign_n to_o who_o i_o be_o accountable_a in_o all_o the_o work_n of_o my_o employment_n for_o magistrate_n judge_v not_o for_o man_n but_o for_o the_o lord_n and_o happy_a will_v they_o

to_o man_n to_o cajole_v they_o with_o fair_a word_n and_o gain_v credit_n with_o they_o but_o as_o to_o god_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o religious_a promise_n to_o bring_v a_o obligation_n

that_o to_o such_o as_o be_v in_o place_n of_o eminent_a trust_n the_o discharge_n of_o their_o duty_n shall_v be_v the_o chief_a matter_n of_o their_o joy_n for_o we_o see_v here_o with_o what_o
