A81826 Of the right of churches and of the magistrates power over them. Wherein is further made out 1. the nullity and vanity of ecclesiasticall power (of ex-communicating, deposing, and making lawes) independent from the power of magistracy. 2. The absurdity of the distinctions of power and lawes into ecclesiasticall and civil, spirituall and temporall. 3. That these distinctions have introduced the mystery of iniquity into the world, and alwayes disunited the minds and affections of Christians and brethren. 4. That those reformers who have stood for a jurisdiction distinct from that of the magistrate, have unawares strenghthened [sic] the mystery of iniquity. / By Lewis du Moulin Professour of History in the Vniversity of Oxford. Du Moulin, Lewis, 1606-1680. 1658 (1658) Wing D2544; Thomason E2115_1; ESTC R212665 195,819 444

many_o constitution_n about_o regulate_v the_o power_n of_o father_n master_n and_o husband_n and_o yet_o allow_v they_o their_o authority_n at_o home_n be_v a_o argument_n that_o their_o fatherly_a power_n be_v consistent_a with_o their_o subordination_n to_o the_o magistrate_n 4._o there_o be_v as_o i_o show_v above_o two_o kind_n of_o act_n to_o be_v perform_v in_o a_o church_n one_o as_o they_o be_v church-member_n the_o other_o as_o they_o be_v a_o society_n that_o for_o their_o government_n must_v assume_v some_o part_n of_o jurisdiction_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o the_o magistrate_n power_n in_o the_o manage_n of_o the_o act_n of_o the_o first_o kind_n there_o be_v no_o subordination_n of_o the_o church_n to_o the_o magistrate_n but_o only_o in_o the_o second_o for_o preach_v hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n administer_a the_o sacrament_n walk_v holy_o submit_v one_o to_o another_o be_v no_o act_n of_o power_n subordinate_a to_o the_o magistrate_n and_o under_o that_o consideration_n i_o will_v grant_v the_o right_n of_o church_n not_o to_o depend_v on_o the_o magistrate_n but_o as_o these_o act_n in_o a_o church-way_a can_v be_v exercise_v without_o a_o power_n of_o magistracy_n assume_v in_o this_o regard_n a_o church_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v subordinate_a to_o the_o fountain_n of_o magistracy_n for_o it_o be_v with_o these_o two_o kind_n of_o act_n in_o subordination_n to_o god_n and_o the_o magistrate_n as_o with_o the_o body_n and_o the_o soul_n for_o none_o doubt_v but_o the_o faculty_n and_o gift_n of_o reason_v apprehend_v truth_n love_v god_n and_o our_o neighbour_n believe_v in_o christ_n be_v no_o act_n subordinate_a to_o the_o power_n of_o the_o magistrate_n but_o as_o reason_v faith_n love_n must_v be_v suppose_v resident_a in_o the_o body_n of_o man_n and_o that_o the_o man_n in_o do_v act_n subordinate_a to_o the_o magistrate_n power_n as_o go_v order_v command_a and_o obey_v do_v carry_v along_o his_o reason_n faith_n and_o love_n in_o like_a manner_n as_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o consider_v a_o man_n perform_v the_o act_n of_o reason_n faith_n and_o love_n and_o not_o be_v the_o while_o subordinate_a to_o the_o power_n of_o the_o magistrate_n so_o a_o church_n even_o perform_v those_o act_n of_o church-member_n as_o such_o in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o second_o kind_n of_o act_n that_o be_v subordinate_a to_o the_o magistrate_n must_v be_v join_v with_o the_o first_o can_v be_v consider_v without_o it_o be_v subordinate_a to_o the_o magistrate_n 5._o if_o the_o power_n of_o church_n be_v not_o subordinate_a to_o the_o magistrate_n many_o inconvenience_n will_v follow_v 1._o that_o some_o church_n gather_v by_o the_o magistrate_n and_o his_o act_n of_o appoint_v time_n place_n and_o stipend_n shall_v not_o be_v subordinate_a to_o he_o 2._o or_o if_o he_o shall_v gather_v none_o and_o beside_o appoint_v no_o public_a worship_n to_o take_v place_n in_o all_o part_n of_o his_o dominion_n but_o leave_v that_o whole_o to_o the_o will_n of_o those_o that_o congregate_v of_o their_o own_o accord_n this_o i_o say_v will_v in_o a_o very_a short_a time_n breed_v irreligion_n or_o heathenism_n in_o most_o place_n and_o most_o tank_fw-mi of_o man_n for_o than_o it_o must_v be_v conceive_v that_o not_o one_o of_o 20._o will_v congregate_v of_o themselves_o &_o that_o the_o 19_o part_n not_o be_v call_v upon_o nor_o any_o way_n invite_v by_o public_a ordinance_n set_v up_o in_o all_o place_n of_o man_n abode_n atheism_n or_o neglect_n of_o all_o religion_n will_v soon_o ensue_v in_o most_o part_n and_o a_o persecute_v magistrate_n as_o in_o the_o primitive_a church_n be_v ten_o time_n rather_o to_o be_v wish_v than_o one_o careless_a and_o neglect_v to_o set_v up_o ordinance_n for_o by_o one_o of_o these_o two_o way_n either_o by_o persecution_n or_o by_o countenance_v and_o command_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n the_o magistrate_n cause_v religion_n to_o flourish_v by_o do_v neither_o one_o nor_o the_o other_o he_o take_v the_o way_n to_o abolish_v it_o as_o julian_n the_o apostate_n be_v about_o to_o do_v if_o god_n have_v not_o the_o soon_o cut_v he_o off_o 6._o but_o suppose_v it_o be_v grant_v on_o all_o side_n that_o the_o magistrate_n be_v bind_v to_o do_v what_o king_n edward_n do_v or_o queen_n elizabeth_n to_o banish_v popery_n to_o set_v up_o protestantisme_n and_o a_o orthodox_n ministry_n in_o all_o parish_n throughout_o england_n which_o act_n can_v be_v perform_v by_o a_o few_o particular_a church_n with_o all_o their_o church_n power_n sure_o it_o must_v be_v also_o grant_v that_o all_o those_o act_n of_o a_o magistrate_n in_o order_v affair_n of_o religion_n be_v in_o his_o disposal_n and_o depend_v on_o he_o 7._o since_o then_o the_o magistrate_n must_v have_v the_o order_n of_o those_o affair_n of_o religion_n which_o he_o himself_o have_v constitute_v if_o he_o shall_v not_o likewise_o be_v the_o supreme_a

arise_v in_o man_n mind_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o state_n it_o be_v no_o small_a business_n to_o distinguish_v the_o power_n of_o the_o church_n that_o be_v subordinate_a to_o the_o magistrate_n and_o the_o power_n of_o those_o church_n that_o be_v not_o from_o reason_n i_o descend_v to_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o river_n brethren_n both_o in_o old_a and_o new_a england_n dissent_v from_o the_o presbyterian_n in_o old_a england_n the_o reverend_a pious_a jeremy_n burrough_n will_v be_v in_o stead_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o brethren_n for_o in_o the_o eleven_o chapter_n of_o his_o irenicum_fw-la he_o profess_v to_o deliver_v not_o only_o his_o own_o judgement_n but_o also_o that_o of_o his_o brethren_n with_o who_o he_o have_v occasion_n to_o converse_v whoever_o shall_v peruse_v his_o book_n throughout_o special_o the_o five_o chapter_n will_v find_v that_o he_o attribute_v as_o much_o power_n to_o the_o magistrate_n over_o church_n as_o any_o of_o the_o opposite_n to_o the_o presbyterian_a brethren_n which_o power_n of_o the_o magistrate_n while_o he_o assert_v he_o never_o conceive_v it_o shall_v overthrow_v his_o other_o position_n namely_o in_o the_o seven_o chapter_n concern_v the_o right_a and_o power_n of_o church_n or_o that_o his_o state_v the_o right_a liberty_n and_o power_n of_o church_n can_v not_o consist_v with_o the_o power_n of_o the_o magistrate_n over_o they_o now_o he_o be_v very_o express_v in_o the_o say_a chapter_n for_o the_o power_n of_o the_o magistrate_n in_o sacred_a thing_n pag._n 21._o he_o say_v that_o magistrate_n in_o their_o magistracy_n be_v special_o to_o aim_v at_o the_o promote_a of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o mediator_n and_o there_o and_o throughout_o that_o long_a chapter_n you_o have_v these_o conclusion_n 1._o that_o the_o church_n and_o commonwealth_n of_o israel_n be_v mix_v in_o one_o that_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n it_o shall_v be_v now_o otherwise_o 2._o that_o the_o power_n of_o the_o magistrate_n be_v alike_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n and_o be_v it_o so_o that_o nothing_o be_v set_v down_o of_o it_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o it_o be_v enough_o it_o be_v a_o law_n not_o only_o grant_v to_o the_o israelite_n but_o also_o of_o the_o light_n give_v to_o the_o very_a heathen_n who_o power_n of_o magistracy_n be_v to_o govern_v religion_n as_o well_o as_o other_o thing_n 3._o that_o it_o be_v most_o unreasonable_a that_o a_o magistrate_n turn_v either_o from_o the_o heathenish_a or_o jewish_a religion_n shall_v enjoy_v less_o power_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n than_o he_o have_v when_o he_o be_v a_o jew_n or_o heathen_a a_o infidel_n magistrate_n say_v he_o convert_v to_o christian_a religion_n be_v thereby_o better_o enable_v to_o perform_v the_o duty_n of_o his_o place_n than_o before_o but_o he_o have_v the_o same_o authority_n before_o 4._o he_o hold_v that_o the_o magistrate_n have_v a_o sovereign_a judgement_n of_o his_o command_n though_o unskilful_a in_o the_o thing_n command_v a_o magistrate_n that_o be_v not_o skilful_a in_o physic_n or_o in_o navigation_n yet_o he_o may_v judge_v physician_n and_o mariner_n if_o they_o wrong_v other_o in_o their_o way_n 5._o he_o assert_v large_o the_o power_n of_o the_o magistrate_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n by_o the_o example_n of_o the_o king_n of_o judah_n and_o israel_n yea_o of_o the_o king_n of_o niniveh_n and_o of_o artaxerxes_n interpose_v his_o power_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n for_o which_o ezra_n bless_v god_n
