A70887	The Quakers vindicated from the calumnies of those that falsly accuse them as if they denyed magistrates, and disowned government; and as if both in principle and practice they were inconsistant with either. In which is shewed, that the true and sincere Quakers (so called, for of them I write) are in the spirit and principle in which the justice of magistrates is obeyed, and in which magistrates are to administer their government, and that by their practice in good works they fulfill all just and good government. And that they have God's authority for their meeting together to worship Him, ... And that people in matters of religion and the worship of God, should rather be instructed and led by the Spirit of the Lord in Gods authority, ... Also, several objections answered, as to the exercise of secular force and compulsion over the conscience in matters of faith, religion, and the worship of God. By Edward Pyot.

form of Worship and have not the Laws for Religion and Worship at sundry times differed even in this our own Nation as the Magistrates or those in power by which they have been made have differed in their minds as to their Religion and Worship And if the matters of Religion and the manner of the Worship of God should be only directed and governed by the Laws and Statutes of men May there not then be as many Religions and forms of Worship or as many changes in Religion and Worship as the Magistrates that differ should please to make And if Christians are bound actively to submit to the Laws of their Christian Magistrates as to their Religion and Worship without any further question though against their consciences why then have so many Martyrs suffered Martyrdom for their not submitting otherwise than by suffering to the Laws for Religion and Worship which have been made by them who in their times have been called Christian Magistrates And as to all the Kings of Israel which reigned after the division of the ten Tribes from the Kingdom of Iudah what Authority they exercised in the matters of Religion was it not to support their Idolatrous Worship which by the subtilty and craft of Jeroboam was both invented and setled as the Publick Worship of the Kingdom of Israel ●●n 12. 27 28 And to promote Idolatry in Worship and against the Law of God were not the Statutes of Omri both added and kept who walked in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin And ●●ng ●6 as if it had been a light thing to walk in the sin of Jeroboam did not Ahab worship Baal and rear up an Altar for Baal in the house of Baal which he built in Samaria And is it not signified by the Prophet Micah as the peoples sin against the Lord that the Statutes of Omri were ●●ah 6. by them kept and all the works of the house of Ahab and that they walked in their counsels And in point of Worship was not the Lord provoked to anger by the obedience of the children of Israel to the Heathenish Statutes of the Kings of Israel which they had made 2 Kings 17. 8. And would their alledging their Kings Laws as their Authority for what they did at all have excused them before the Lord or pacified his Anger against them for it And was not their sin great who by ●●ng 21. force were driven from following the Lord to worship at Dan and Bethel And was not Ephraim oppressed and broken in judgement because he willingly walked after the Commandment And by the ●● 5. 11. Captivity of Israel did not the Lord remove them out of his sight as well for their persisting in the sins of Jeroboam even until their Captivity as also for their other Idolatries in Worship viz. their walking ●●n 17. ● 23. in the Statutes of the Heathen whom the Lord cast out from before them and of the Kings of Israel which they had made And even in the time of Israels Apostacy were there not many of the Lords People that for Conscience sake could not keep the Statutes of Omri nor the works of the house of Ahab and that walked not in the heathenish Statutes of the Kings of Israel which they had made as witness the seven thousand in the time of Elias that never bowed their knee to Baal And if as Kings the Commands of any of the Kings of Judah were absolute and to be over the Conscience in the matters of Worship were not then the Commands of them all as Kings absolute and to be over the Conscience in the matters of Worship And if the people were bound in Conscience as in the matters of Worship actively to submit to their Commands though against their Consciences without any further question as to right or wrong who of them could then escape from being Idolaters that lived under the Reign of the Idolatrous Princes for in the Cities of Judah and round about Jerusalem were there not High-Places in their several streets and appointed unto several services some of them for the worship of false gods and others of them for the Worship of the true God but all contrary to the Law of God as it is written Wo wo unto thee saith the Lord Eze 23 ● that thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place and hast made thee an high-place in every street thou hast built thy high-place at every head of the way c.

And did not the Kings of Judah as to the matters of Worship administer their Power differently as they were diversly affected for as there were some that took away the Altars of the strange gods and destroyed their High-places and that brake down their Images and cut down their Groves so were there not others that built High-places and set up Images and that reared up Altars to Baalim and made Groves and that walked in the wayes of the house of Ahab As there were some who did that which was righteous in the sight of the Lord by their reforming the abuses of their fore-fathers as Hezekiah and Josiah and others so were there not others who did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord and more especially as to the matters of Religion and Worship and that walked in the wayes of the Kings of Israel as Jehoram Ahaziah and others And did not the Lord bring Judah low for the sake of Ahaz their King who transgressed sorely against the Lord for did not Ahaz make Judah naked which by some is read he withdrew in Judah the Worship of God And 2 Ci● 28. 24 ● when he had shut the doors of the House of the Lord did he not make him Altars in every corner of Jerusalem and High-places in every several City of Judah And of Jehoram is it not said That he made High-places 2 C●● 11 ● in the Mountains of Judah and caused the Inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit Fornication and compelled Judah thereto And of Manasseh ●● 21. ●● 16. ●●on is it not said That he made Judah to sin with his Idols and the Inhabitants of Jerusalem to err and that he seduced them to more evil than did the Nations whom the Lord destroyed before the children of Israel And even among the good Kings of Judah though Asa and Jehosaphat took away the Altars of the strange gods and brake down their High-places c. yet by them were there not left standing other high-places which by the Law of Moses should have been demolished and
