A45124	The authority of magistrate about religion discussed in a rebuke to the preacher of a late book of Bishop Bramhalls, being a confutation of that mishapen tenent, of the magistrates authority over the conscience in the matters of religion, and better asserting of his authority ecclesiastical, by dividing aright between the use of his sword about religious affairs, and tenderness towards mens consciences : and also for vindication of the grateful receivers of His Majesties late gracious declaration, against his and others aspersions / by J.H.	Humfrey, John, 1621-1719.	1672 (1672)	Wing H3669; ESTC R20217	60,044	138

command_v and_o oblige_v the_o conscience_n as_o human_a law_n do_v bind_v it_o which_o how_o and_o how_o far_o it_o do_v be_v state_v in_o my_o other_o book_n he_o can_v just_o punish_v the_o man_n for_o not_o do_v that_o which_o he_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o do_v so_o that_o we_o see_v here_o where_o the_o magistrate_n must_v not_o use_v his_o sword_n even_o while_o he_o be_v use_v it_o and_o act_v not_o as_o a_o magistrate_n but_o by_o it_o he_o act_v by_o his_o authority_n or_o sword_n in_o see_v the_o mean_v use_v help_v administer_v obstacle_n remove_v he_o can_v and_o may_v force_v other_o who_o duty_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v want_v in_o this_o when_o he_o can_v then_o enforce_v the_o end_n to_o which_o he_o cause_v these_o mean_n to_o be_v use_v he_o can_v i_o mean_v he_o ought_v not_o punish_v any_o man_n only_o because_o his_o conscience_n be_v not_o wrought_v upon_o by_o the_o mean_n which_o he_o have_v use_v and_o so_o do_v not_o what_o he_o will_v have_v he_o in_o this_o case_n it_o be_v not_o he_o or_o the_o man_n either_o can_v help_v it_o and_o he_o may_v as_o well_o beat_v his_o dog_n for_o not_o whistle_v upon_o this_o account_n there_o be_v very_o good_a

that_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v well_o after_o this_o that_o the_o distinction_n between_o the_o religious_a and_o secullar_n thing_n in_o reference_n to_o the_o magistrate_n authority_n or_o use_v his_o sword_n be_v for_o all_o what_o be_v before_o say_v to_o be_v hold_v so_o far_o as_o it_o will_v reach_v but_o that_o be_v only_o to_o a_o majus_fw-la &_o minus_fw-la of_o his_o care_n not_o to_o the_o specification_n of_o the_o state_n of_o our_o business_n my_o meaning_n be_v that_o in_o thing_n not_o religious_a but_o moral_a only_a or_o civil_a the_o magistrate_n be_v more_o free_a as_o to_o his_o command_n and_o use_v his_o sword_n than_o in_o matter_n of_o religion_n or_o he_o be_v to_o take_v more_o care_n of_o what_o he_o impose_v in_o the_o one_o than_o he_o need_v to_o do_v in_o the_o other_o but_o that_o will_v not_o advance_v to_o the_o state_v the_o point_n hereupon_o that_o he_o have_v authority_n and_o may_v use_v his_o sword_n in_o civil_a and_o not_o in_o sacred_a concerment_n the_o king_n under_o the_o law_n be_v to_o have_v the_o book_n of_o god_n by_o he_o to_o this_o end_n that_o he_o may_v govern_v the_o people_n according_a to_o it_o and_o

god_n as_o in_o the_o king_n matter_n this_o proposition_n the_o magistrate_n may_v use_v his_o sword_n in_o civil_a but_o not_o in_o religious_a affair_n be_v not_o a_o true_a proposition_n and_o therefore_o can_v determine_v nothing_o and_o this_o proposition_n the_o magistrate_n be_v to_o take_v more_o heed_n how_o he_o use_v his_o sword_n in_o supernatural_a than_o in_o natural_a or_o civil_a concern_v be_v a_o true_a proposition_n but_o not_o a_o sufficient_a determination_n the_o main_a question_n still_o remain_v what_o be_v those_o thing_n wherein_o the_o magistrate_n indeed_o have_v no_o power_n or_o may_v not_o use_v his_o sword_n upon_o the_o knowledge_n of_o this_o must_v the_o state_v the_o business_n depend_v for_o when_o we_o know_v in_o what_o thing_n he_o may_v and_o in_o what_o he_o may_v not_o use_v his_o authority_n the_o matter_n be_v at_o a_o end_n here_o be_v we_o now_o therefore_o to_o think_v upon_o it_o what_o be_v those_o reason_n why_o the_o magistrate_n be_v to_o be_v more_o careful_a in_o the_o use_n of_o his_o power_n in_o religious_a than_o in_o other_o matter_n and_o if_o it_o be_v any_o where_o it_o be_v like_a to_o be_v there_o that_o we_o shall_v find_v a_o bottom_n to_o determine_v the_o main_a issue_n to_o know_v these_o reason_n look_v whatsoever_o difference_n there_o be_v to_o be_v make_v between_o religious_a and_o civil_a matter_n in_o respect_n to_o the_o magistrate_n use_v his_o sword_n about_o they_o and_o they_o must_v be_v these_o reason_n the_o first_o difference_n then_o between_o religious_a and_o civil_a thing_n that_o may_v be_v offer_v as_o a_o reason_n why_o the_o magistrate_n be_v to_o take_v more_o care_n of_o use_v his_o sword_n in_o the_o one_o than_o the_o other_o be_v that_o religious_a thing_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v of_o supernatural_a revelation_n which_o can_v therefore_o be_v know_v and_o do_v without_o god_n grace_n and_o it_o be_v not_o fit_v the_o magistrate_n shall_v punish_v a_o man_n for_o the_o want_n of_o that_o which_o god_n do_v not_o give_v he_o when_o in_o moral_a and_o civil_a thing_n he_o have_v the_o knowledge_n of_o they_o only_o by_o nature_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o realm_n now_o than_o if_o this_o will_v serve_v to_o determine_v the_o question_n the_o proposition_n draw_v from_o it_o must_v be_v this_o that_o in_o all_o matter_n that_o be_v of_o supernatural_a revelation_n the_o magistrate_n may_v not_o use_v his_o sword_n but_o in_o all_o other_o he_o may_v use_v it_o but_o this_o proposition_n be_v alike_o false_a with_o the_o first_o that_o in_o all_o religious_a he_o may_v not_o and_o in_o all_o civil_a he_o may_v the_o law_n give_v by_o moses_n be_v by_o revelation_n but_o the_o magistrate_n may_v punish_v the_o breaker_n of_o that_o law_n the_o gospel_n be_v by_o revelation_n but_o the_o magistrate_n may_v punish_v those_o that_o keep_v from_o church_n out_o of_o irreligion_n the_o example_n of_o the_o man_n that_o be_v put_v to_o death_n for_o gather_v stick_v on_o the_o sabbath_n be_v a_o precedent_n uncontrollable_a that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v punish_v for_o his_o presumption_n when_o he_o may_v not_o for_o his_o conscience_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o religion_n the_o second_o difference_n between_o sacred_a and_o civil_a affair_n which_o may_v be_v another_o reason_n why_o the_o magistrate_n be_v to_o take_v more_o heed_n as_o to_o the_o one_o than_o to_o the_o other_o be_v that_o the_o world_n can_v be_v govern_v without_o the_o exercise_n of_o his_o authority_n in_o civil_n when_o if_o the_o world_n be_v without_o all_o that_o which_o be_v of_o supernatural_a revelation_n and_o consequent_o if_o he_o meddle_v not_o at_o all_o with_o those_o thing_n it_o may_v it_o appear_v then_o reasonable_a that_o in_o what_o the_o government_n of_o the_o world_n can_v be_v without_o the_o magistrate_n shall_v not_o be_v so_o press_v when_o in_o that_o which_o it_o can_v subsist_v without_o he_o must_v let_v we_o then_o again_o draw_v out_o what_o be_v here_o and_o try_v if_o it_o will_v do_v in_o matter_n which_o the_o world_n may_v be_v govern_v without_o the_o magistrate_n must_v not_o use_v his_o sword_n but_o in_o matter_n without_o which_o it_o can_v be_v govern_v he_o may_v this_o proposition_n labour_v with_o the_o same_o fail_v for_o the_o magistrate_n may_v use_v his_o authority_n in_o thing_n which_o the_o world_n may_v be_v govern_v if_o it_o be_v without_o because_o he_o can_v use_v it_o in_o religious_a matter_n as_o have_v be_v instance_a already_o from_o scripture_n a_o three_o difference_n between_o sacred_a and_o civil_a thing_n and_o which_o be_v a_o reason_n why_o the_o magistrate_n be_v to_o be_v more_o careful_a of_o his_o injunction_n and_o use_v his_o sword_n in_o the_o one_o above_o the_o other_o be_v because_o it_o be_v more_o like_a that_o the_o thing_n he_o impose_v in_o religious_a concern_v shall_v be_v against_o man_n conscience_n than_o in_o civil_a or_o moral_a matter_n and_o the_o magistrate_n have_v no_o authority_n over_o the_o conscience_n of_o any_o it_o be_v the_o commandment_n of_o the_o most_o high_a that_o no_o man_n shall_v ever_o do_v any_o thing_n against_o his_o conscience_n and_o the_o magistrate_n can_v use_v his_o authority_n but_o for_o god_n now_o let_v we_o see_v if_o this_o at_o last_o will_v serve_v for_o the_o determine_v the_o question_n and_o if_o it_o will_v then_o must_v this_o proposition_n be_v true_a that_o in_o all_o matter_n that_o be_v against_o man_n conscience_n the_o magistrate_n have_v no_o authority_n and_o can_v use_v his_o sword_n but_o in_o all_o matter_n that_o be_v not_o against_o their_o conscience_n or_o that_o be_v according_a to_o they_o he_o may_v use_v it_o and_o this_o proposition_n i_o count_v be_v true_a and_o certain_a and_o to_o be_v maintain_v even_o in_o religious_a and_o civil_a matter_n and_o so_o be_v the_o foundation_n conclude_v
