A85400	Innocency and truth triumphing together; or, The latter part of an answer to the back-part of a discourse, lately published by William Prynne Esquire, called, A full reply, &c. Beginning at the foot of p. 17. of the said discourse, with this title or superscription, Certain brief animadversions on Mr. John Goodwins Theomachia. Wherein the argumentative part of the said animadversions is examined; together with some few animadversions upon some former passages in the said reply. Licensed and printed according to order.	Goodwin, John, 1594?-1665.	1645 (1645)	Wing G1176; Thomason E24_8; ESTC R22666	90,413	109

to the word of God that men should be punish'd either in their bodies or estates for not siding with the truth in difficult and hard Questions as all such may well be presum'd to be wherein sober and conscientious persons cannot be satisfied The word of God doth not permit two persons or parties of a dissenting judgement about an hard case or question to judge or think hardly one of another much lesse doth it permit them to punish or lay violent hands one upon another Nor 3. And lastly doth it follow that though Princes Magistrates Ministers Parliaments Synods should be nominated or elected by the lawfull power of the people and withall should have Authoritie by the word of God to limit any particulars thereof that therefore this Authoritie should be deriv'd upon them by means of such nomination Every private man hath sufficient Authoritie though perhaps he may want abilitie of gifts to limit any particular in the word of God according to the word of God this being nothing else but a true and right apprehending or understanding of this word Which apprehension or understanding of his though he hath no power by way of office to impart unto others yet hath he a right yea and an obligation upon him by way of dutie so to impart it when God affords season and opportunitie time and place for it So that this marginall note is not accessory to any harme done to the said Conclusion 3. To a third marginall note subservient in the same page to the two former I answer 1. That though it should be granted that every Magistrate Parliament and Synod have power to declare and injoyn what is necessarie to be beleeved practised by or according to Gods Word yet this is nothing more then what every Pastor or Minister over a congregation hath power to do yea and ought to do from day to day in the course of his ministery But 2. If by declaring and enjoyning he means any such declaring and enjoyning whereby Magistrate Parliament or Synod shall be enabled temporally to punish those who shall either not beleeve or not practise I answer that this is but petitio Principii a supposall of that which is the main Question and therefore waits still upon Mr. Prynne's pen for a more sufficient proof the old writ of Ipse dixit being out of date long since We have reconciled the margent and nothing doubt but that the page will be of as easie accommodation Therefore 4. Whereas he puts himself to the needlesse labour of repeating the charge formerly charged upon my Doctrine a an underminer of the Authority of Parliaments c. I shall take admonition by it and save a needlesse labour of repeating what hath been already said in way of answer to it Onely I shall adde that this Repetition of Mr. Prinnes judgement and charge of my fore-mentioned Doctrine compared with my own thoughts and apprehensions of it puts me in mind of a saying of a great Casuist Eadem possunt alicui videri manifestè vera quae alteri videntur manifestè falsa The same things may seem to one manifestly true which to another seem as manifestly false That Doctrine which Mr. Prynne arraigns as an underminer of Parliamentary Authority I conceive to be a Doctrine of the richest establishment and confirmation to it of which apprehension of mine I have given a sufficient account elsewhere 5. Whereas he further chargeth the said Doctrine with contrarietie to my late Covenant and Protestation and that in the most transcendent manner that ever any have hitherto attempted in print and refers himself to all wise men to judge whether this be not so I referre both himself and all his wise men to judge whether I have not given a sufficient answer hereunto in my Innocencies Triumph p. 4 5 6 c. yet lest sentence should be given against me herein I here adde that certainly no clause in that Covenant and Protestation intended that the Subscribers unto it should be bound in conscience by vertue of such subscription to make Gods of men or which interpreted amounts to as much to give any man Dominion over his Faith If this be but granted my Doctrine is no Delinquent at all against the Covenant and Protestation 6. Whereas he promises or threatens which he pleaseth short answer to my extravagant discourse and first alledgeth that the objection might be made against the generall Assemblies Parliaments Kings of the Israelites who were chosen by the people yet they made Laws and Statutes concerning Religion and Gods worship with his approbation I answer 1. That the Generall Assemblies and Kings of Israel were not chosen by the people at least by any formall free choice of one out of many as our Parliaments and Assemblies are For first the Generall Assemblies consisted of the generalitie of the people and so were not chosen at all for where all are admitted there is no choice Or secondly if by the Generall Assemblies of Israel he means the seventy persons spoken of Numb 11. 16. 24. c. it is evident from the context first that they were not chosen by the people into that Assembly but by Moses and that by expresse order and command from God They might possibly be chosen by the people into the places of Elders and Governours over their respective Families and Tribes but they had no right or calling by vertue of such eldership to gather themselves into an Assembly of seventy upon any such terms or for any such ends as the fore-mentioned Assembly were drawn together by God Secondly evident like-wise it is from ver 25. that these seventy had a speciall anointing of the Holy Ghost from God and prophecied Therefore there is a great difference between this Assembly and generall Assemblies now 2. Neither were the Kings of Israel chosen by the people but by God except we will call a subsequent consent and that by way of duty and homage to the choice made by God a choice When thou shalt come unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee and shalt possesse it and dwell therein if thou say I will set a King over me like as all the Nations that are about me Then shalt thou make him King over thee whom the LORD THY GOD SHALL CHVSE c. Deut. 17. 14 15. Saul their first King was chosen and appointed by God 1 Sam. 9. 15 16. So David their second King 1 Sam. 16. 1. yea his seed likewise was chosen and appointed by God to succeed in this Kingdom and to reign after him for ever 2 Sam. 7. 12. 16. yea and notwithstanding this generall choice and designation Solomon their King is particularly said to have been chosen by God 1 Chron. 29. 1. So for the Kings that reigned over the ten Tribes after the rent of the ten Tribes from the other two Jeroboam the first King was chosen by God 1 King 11. 31. yea and his seed also conditionally ver 38.
