seem_v valuable_a but_o have_v no_o strength_n for_o if_o the_o want_n of_o a_o immediate_a consultation_n with_o god_n destroy_v authority_n or_o at_o least_o weaken_v it_o what_o will_v become_v of_o other_o king_n under_o the_o law_n who_o have_v not_o such_o a_o privilege_n intimate_o to_o converse_v with_o god_n or_o at_o least_o in_o so_o high_a a_o degree_n to_o say_v all_o it_o may_v as_o well_o be_v conclude_v that_o the_o pastor_n of_o the_o church_n be_v not_o oblige_v to_o follow_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o all_o action_n some_o of_o which_o miraculous_a other_o suit_v to_o the_o exigency_n of_o the_o time_n the_o one_o of_o which_o can_v the_o other_o may_v not_o be_v imitate_v because_o none_o in_o these_o day_n can_v pretend_v to_o the_o like_a inspiration_n as_o deny_v that_o prince_n may_v not_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o good_a king_n under_o the_o law_n because_o late_a thing_n can_v be_v so_o much_o secretary_n of_o the_o almighty_a as_o they_o be_v in_o that_o oeconomy_n thus_o they_o have_v endeavour_v to_o invalidate_v the_o example_n of_o the_o jewish_a king_n persuade_v they_o that_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o moysaicall_a law_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o moses_n and_o the_o sanedrim_n or_o the_o practice_n of_o david_n and_o solomon_n to_o oblige_v no_o more_o to_o imitation_n than_o the_o life_n of_o numa_n lycurgus_n or_o other_o lawgiver_n in_o plutarch_n or_o the_o constitution_n of_o heathenish_a priest_n by_o the_o roman_a senate_n this_o be_v true_a if_o it_o be_v understand_v of_o those_o rite_n and_o law_n which_o be_v pure_o judaical_a but_o otherwise_o in_o those_o which_o be_v not_o only_o typical_a it_o be_v further_a urge_v as_o the_o first_o and_o second_o oeconomy_n differ_v in_o many_o thing_n and_o so_o do_v the_o governor_n in_o the_o several_a dispensation_n for_o say_v he_o all_o the_o jewish_a religion_n be_v in_o external_n right_n civil_a and_o religious_a act_n so_o interweave_v that_o it_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o say_v whether_o the_o church_n be_v more_o like_o a_o commonwealth_n or_o the_o commonwealth_n a_o church_n then_o conclude_v that_o the_o magistrate_n buisiness_n be_v only_o to_o compel_v outward_a action_n but_o the_o christian_a magistrate_n have_v no_o such_o task_n christianity_n consist_v in_o inward_a act_n of_o the_o mind_n this_o terrify_a objection_n may_v find_v a_o check_n from_o this_o consideration_n viz._n that_o it_o be_v false_a when_o it_o say_v that_o all_o the_o influence_n good_a king_n have_v on_o the_o people_n be_v only_o to_o promote_v outward_a act_n for_o that_o be_v not_o only_o conversant_a about_a the_o ceremonial_a but_o instrumental_a in_o promote_a the_o moral_a law_n which_o certain_o respect_v the_o power_n of_o the_o mind_n as_o much_o if_o not_o more_o than_o the_o outward_a act._n beside_o in_o the_o ceremonial_a act_n of_o law_n and_o offer_v of_o sacrifice_n there_o be_v imply_v a_o act_n of_o faith_n as_o well_o in_o other_o person_n as_o abraham_n otherwise_o their_o altar_n will_v have_v be_v no_o better_a than_o shambles_n and_o their_o priest_n than_o slaughterman_n hence_o it_o appear_v that_o king_n press_v the_o outward_a act_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v instrumental_a in_o promote_a faith_n or_o inward_a piety_n in_o which_o sense_n it_o may_v be_v say_v good_a king_n as_o of_o josiah_n they_o make_v the_o people_n to_o serve_v the_o lord_n their_o god_n 2_o chron._n 34.33_o but_o i_o must_v meet_v with_o a_o objection_n which_o may_v be_v urge_v thus_o grant_v that_o there_o be_v act_n of_o faith_n require_v in_o act_n of_o sacrifice_n yet_o those_o be_v inward_a act_n of_o the_o mind_n king_n can_v not_o command_v or_o compel_v they_o it_o be_v true_a no_o earthly_a king_n can_v lay_v claim_n to_o such_o spiritual_a dominion_n however_o christianity_n be_v not_o such_o a_o invisible_a religion_n but_o that_o it_o exert_v itself_o in_o several_a visible_a act_n as_o confession_n of_o faith_n communion_n etc._n etc._n which_o certain_o will_v challenge_v the_o magistrate_n care_v in_o case_n his_o aid_n be_v want_v neither_o will_v this_o appear_v as_o impertinent_a to_o his_o office_n so_o long_o as_o he_o have_v reason_n to_o suspect_v that_o those_o who_o the_o church_n can_v reduce_v by_o her_o method_n can_v be_v as_o good_a subject_n as_o other_o when_o they_o be_v declare_v not_o to_o be_v so_o good_a christian_n schism_n and_o heresy_n though_o they_o do_v not_o by_o necessary_a consequence_n imply_v rebellion_n and_o schism_n and_o rebellion_n not_o always_o term_v convertible_a yet_o they_o be_v such_o as_o a_o prince_n may_v suspect_v and_o seem_v as_o vapour_n under_o the_o earth_n which_o do_v not_o always_o cause_v earthquakes_a but_o when_o they_o be_v confine_v to_o a_o natural_a prison_n and_o can_v break_v forth_o for_o as_o the_o one_o do_v not_o always_o put_v the_o earth_n in_o
