And again Luther saith Christus non vi aut igne homines cogere vult Christ will not by fire and force compel men And Tindal saith Fides sua sponte non coacte agere vult Faith will work of its own accord not by constraint And he is a young Student in the university that cannot tell you Voluntas cogi non potest the will cannot be compell'd But what need we go to humane Authors when we have the practise of our Saviour left for instruction and imitation He that hath ears to hear let him hear and he that will not let him chuse whether he will or no. When his Apostles moved him to command fire from Heaven to have destroyed them that received him not see what he saith Ye know not of what spirit ye are for the Son of man is not come to destroy mens lives but to sove them Wife these things are so publickly known that I might spare to make mention of them but not yet known to my Children and one thing more out of History That which is recorded in the life of Simon and Jude the Apostles as both Gulielmus defancto amore and John His relate That when the Chief Ruler was very angry with those that defamed the Doctrine of the Apostles and in great Zeal commanded a fire to be made that such opposers might be cast into it the Apostles fell down before the Emperour saying We beseech you Sir let not us be the Authors or Causers of this destraction who are come to publish the Doctrine of eternal Salvation neither let us who are sent to revive those who are dead through sin become the killer of those who are alive And if there was an Act of Parliament that all men should have faces one like another and propose one man for a Pattern it would be as easily brought to pass as to compel all men to be of one Judgment for he that hath a hand in forming of the face hath a hand in forming the Judgment and the forcing of men to forms of worship comes to as much as the man's Penance which he performed in Powls lately at the latter end of March it was thus A man had married an ancient woman by whom he had no issue she dying he matried the daughter by whom he hath two children and she great with the third they agree very well and he is a loving tender husband unto her nevertheless the Consanguinity must produce a Divorce He stood in a white sheet rather than he will give a great sum of money he must make a publick Confession of his Crime by saying after one who had a Paper in his hand and for this his notorious offence which is esteemed so by them or at least dissembled so to be he must desire the Congregation to pray for him all this while he resolves to continue his love to her and that she is his wife lawfully And such is a forced Conformity to the Forms of Worship now in fashion but when men are once got out of a dark dungeon they will hardly be brought into it again But fear of trouble may make men do that outwardly which inwardly they detest and so make Hypocrites Mr. Fox reports of John Frith's Son who seeing his Father burnt some of them who had a hand in his Fathers death demanded of the young man how he did believe who answered Even as it pleaseth you W. Husband So it is that Great men and Parliaments Convocations and Councils have deemed such a Reformation and Conformity requisit in well govern'd Kingdoms H. VVife Elibu one of Job's friends saith that Great men are not alwayes wise neither do the Mighty understand Judgment Convocations and Councils may err as in the Council of Nice where one Paphnutius withstood the whole Council consisting of three hundred and eighteen Bishops and convinced them all And Parliaments may as we have seen be sometimes wise and sometimes otherwise True spiritual Wisdom which is from above accords with the Scriptures but that which is beneath Scripture and cannot be warranted by it is earthly earnal sensual and devilish and enmity against God I have already told you in a former discourse that Convocations and Parliaments have nothing to do to make Laws for Christ's Kingdom that 's on his shoulders that were to charge him with want of wisdom and his Laws with imperfection For the souls of men and women he alone is the Law-giver or else what Law-giver is he The Magistrates power extends no further than to the outward man to require obedience in Civil things neither can Great men as we see reform themselves Convocation-men nor Parliament-men they may aswell undertake to sanctifie justifie or glorifie a soul as to reform a soul Sanctification is the work of the Spirit Justification the work of God's Free-Grace by the imputation of Christ's Righteousness Glorification the work of the Father Christ dying for man is his redemption Christ living in man is his reformation What is the Magistrates place then only to encourage protect keep peace and punish open and gross offenders W. Husband doth not this derogate from the honour of a Magistrate if his power extend only to temporal things H. Wife if Caesar have his due he can require no more and it would exceedingly redound to the honour of a Magistrate to give Christ the hononr of his own Kingdom to whom all honour appertains The time will come when the Kings of the Earth shall bring their honour and glory into it W. Husband the Kings of Isrel did things of this nature as Jehosaphat Josiah c. reformed many things in the Church in those dayes why may not Magistrates do the like now H. Wife The Kings of Israel were Types of Christ in their Government shadowing forth him who was to have the Government of his Israel his Church which is his Kingdom according to old Jacob's Prophesie The Scepter shall not depart from Judah nor a Law-giver from between his feet until Shilo come and now Shilo which is the King of Peece is come all other Regal power over the Church is ceased VV. But Husband there were no Christian Magistrates in Christ's time to commit the Government unto which may seem to altar the case and the Apostle biddeth us submit to every Ordinance of man for the Lord's sake H. VVife If Christ had seen Christian Magistrates necessary for the Government of his Kingdom he could as easily have turned the hearts of Kings and Emperors as he could the owner of the Ass to send her at his demand or brought the Fish to the Angle with money in his mouth to pay Tribute to Caesar And whereas the Apostle bids Submit c. he means only in Civil things otherwise if Augustus and other Heathen Emperours under whom they lived had commanded them to have worshipped their Heathen gods they must have committed Idolatry But Nebuchadnezzar's Act of uniformity and Daniels resisting to obey cleers up the case fully VV.

Imprinted at London for Theodore Sadler next door to the Dolphin in the Strand over against Exeter-house 1663. So much of the Title page The Dedication of the Book To the Right Reverend Father in God Gilbert Lord Bishop of London now of Canterbury and Dean of his Majesties Chappel Royal. Bellamy is no less than a Papist as by his railing against Zuinlius Melancton Calvin Martin Luther Buchanan John Wickliff and others will appear and by his esteem of the Mattyrs in Queen Maries dayes accounting them for Rebels Now there is an Act of Queen Elizabeth that none shall sell any Papists Books and yet here is a Papist Book licensed to be printed and Crack-fart at the end of his Intelligence in his Advertisements le ts fly the Book telling where it is to be had And an honest Gentleman lately translated a Book out of the French into the English-tongue and it would not pass the Press and yet the Act of Queen Elizabeth unrepealed See what Medly is here which puts me in mind of a business it was thus Sometimes living at Banbury in Oxfordshire I grew acquainted with one Mr. Sharp a Bookseller who with a Companion of his an old Puritan aswel as himself got into the Church in the night Sharp being Churchwarden and threw down the Images receiving some encouragement from a Doctor who held a Visitation in Banbury being a Peculiat within the Jurisdiction of Linculn who delivered this Observation in his Sermon That it is the duty of every Christian to put to his hand to the pulling down of Idolatry Mr. Sharp is had up into the High-Commission Court where this Doctor was become one of his Judges and
