A70295	The humble petition and representation of the sufferings of several peaceable, and innocent subjects, called by the name of Anabaptists, inhabitants in the county of Kent, and now prisoners in the goal of Maidstone, for the testimony of a good conscience. Together with their free and faithful acknowledgement of the King's authority and dignity in civil things, over all manner of persons, ecclesiastical and civil, within His Majesties dominions. With their reasons, meriting the King's protection in their civil and spiritual rights, equal with other His Majesties obedient subjects. Humbly offered to the King's Majesty, and the consideration of our fellow brethren and subjects. Well worthy general observation.	Jeffery, William, 1616-1693.	1661 (1661)	Wing H3444; ESTC R214927	7,358	20

thou_o be_v a_o magistrate_n or_o as_o thou_o be_v a_o christian_n but_o that_o thou_o have_v no_o such_o power_n give_v unto_o thou_o of_o god_n as_o thou_o be_v a_o magistrate_n appear_v 1._o because_o if_o magistrate_n as_o such_o have_v such_o a_o authority_n than_o all_o magistrate_n in_o all_o nation_n have_v the_o same_o power_n then_o if_o we_o live_v in_o turkey_n must_v we_o receive_v the_o choran_n and_o be_v a_o worshipper_n of_o mahomet_n if_o in_o spain_n be_v a_o papist_n in_o england_n sometime_o a_o papist_n as_o in_o henry_n the_o 8_o day_n a_o protestant_n in_o edward_n the_o 6_o a_o papist_n again_o in_o queen_n maries_n and_o a_o protestant_a again_o in_o queen_n elizabeth_n and_o so_o for_o ever_o as_o the_o authority_n change_v religion_n we_o must_v do_v the_o same_o but_o god_n forbid_v 2._o because_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o that_o give_v forth_o those_o commandment_n that_o be_v write_v in_o scripture_n to_o be_v obedient_a to_o magistrate_n refuse_v to_o be_v obedient_a to_o their_o ruler_n when_o they_o be_v command_v to_o forbear_v 5.29_o act_n 4.19_o chap._n 5.29_o that_o which_o they_o judge_v part_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o say_v whether_o it_o be_v right_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n to_o harken_v unto_o you_o more_o than_o unto_o god_n judge_v you_o 3._o all_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o enjoin_v obedience_n unto_o magistrate_n be_v write_v when_o the_o roman_n have_v the_o empire_n of_o the_o world_n who_o emperor_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n if_o not_o all_o heathenish_a idolator_n for_o the_o first_o 300_o year_n until_o constantine_n time_n it_o therefore_o can_v be_v suppose_v that_o any_o of_o these_o text_n of_o scripture_n that_o call_v for_o obedience_n to_o magistrate_n intend_v a_o obedience_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n or_o worship_n for_o then_o the_o christian_n that_o live_v under_o those_o emperor_n must_v needs_o have_v deny_v christ_n and_o worship_v the_o roman_a god_n as_o some_o of_o the_o emperor_n command_v and_o now_o o_o king_n that_o no_o man_n as_o he_o be_v a_o christian_n have_v power_n to_o be_v a_o lord_n over_o another_o faith_n or_o by_o outward_a force_n to_o impose_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v as_o clear_v 1._o because_o the_o lord_n jesus_n himself_o nor_o his_o disciple_n will_v never_o by_o any_o outward_a force_n compel_v man_n to_o receive_v they_o or_o their_o doctrine_n for_o when_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n suppose_v they_o may_v use_v violence_n as_o under_o the_o law_n will_v have_v command_v fire_n to_o come_v from_o heaven_n as_o elias_n do_v to_o consume_v they_o that_o will_v not_o receive_v they_o christ_n turn_v and_o rebuke_v they_o say_v you_o know_v not_o what_o spirit_n you_o be_v of_o for_o the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v not_o come_v to_o destroy_v man_n life_n but_o to_o save_v they_o 2._o if_o any_o man_n under_o heaven_n have_v have_v any_o such_o power_n in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o apostle_n and_o elder_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n must_v needs_o have_v have_v it_o but_o this_o they_o disow_v the_o apostle_n paul_n in_o 2_o cor._n 1.24_o say_v thus_o not_o for_o that_o we_o have_v dominion_n over_o your_o faith_n but_o be_v helper_n of_o your_o joy_n for_o by_o faith_n you_o stand_v yea_o the_o lord_n jesus_n when_o he_o strive_v for_o domination_n forbid_v it_o say_v you_o know_v that_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o gemile_n exercise_v dominion_n over_o they_o 25.26_o mat._n 25.26_o and_o they_o that_o be_v great_a do_v exercise_v authority_n upon_o they_o but_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o among_o you_o even_o so_o say_v peter_n speak_v to_o the_o elder_n feed_v the_o flock_n of_o god_n which_o be_v among_o you_o take_v the_o oversight_n thereof_o not_o by_o constraint_n but_o willing_o not_o for_o filthy_a lucre_n but_o of_o a_o ready_a mind_n neither_o as_o be_v lord_n over_o god_n heritage_n but_o be_v example_n to_o the_o flock_n and_o in_o truth_n the_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n be_v not_o to_o use_v any_o external_a force_n to_o carry_v on_o their_o master_n work_n but_o only_o by_o show_v the_o terror_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v to_o persuade_v man_n and_o in_o case_n of_o resistance_n to_o shake_v the_o dust_n from_o their_o foot_n as_o a_o witness_n against_o their_o opposer_n 3._o it_o be_v very_o plain_a that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n himself_o in_o his_o parrable_a of_o the_o tare_n and_o wheat_n forbid_v and_o force_v to_o be_v exercise_v upon_o false_a

murderers_z etc._n etc._n because_o all_o confess_v with_o one_o consent_n that_o the_o magistrate_n authority_n reach_v such_o but_o those_o that_o christ_n jesus_n will_v have_v remain_v among_o
