A40050	Four grand questions proposed, and briefly answered wherein is discoursed, the authority and duty of the magistrate in the matters of religion, the unlawfulness of a toleration and general liberty of conscience, the divine right of Christian liberty in things indifferent, the unlawfulness of repealing the laws against Popery and idolatry.		1689 (1689)	Wing F1655; ESTC R20387	25,185	33

ordinary_a and_o extraordinary_a under_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o we_o find_v also_o the_o office_n and_o power_n of_o magistracy_n ratify_v and_o confirm_v by_o the_o new_a testament_n under_o the_o gospel_n the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o all_o power_n be_v of_o god_n and_o that_o not_o only_o by_o his_o providential_a allowance_n and_o toleration_n but_o by_o his_o special_a

1_o 6._o because_o they_o be_v god_n deputy_n and_o vicegerent_n represent_v his_o presence_n and_o his_o power_n in_o the_o world._n now_o it_o can_v reasonable_o be_v suppose_v that_o god_n will_v thus_o delegate_v his_o power_n and_o authority_n in_o the_o world_n to_o magistrate_n and_o so_o signal_o dignify_v and_o authorise_v they_o but_o in_o order_n to_o some_o special_a service_n they_o be_v to_o do_v for_o god_n in_o the_o world_n and_o it_o be_v most_o reasonable_a and_o moral_o just_a that_o the_o magistrate_n have_v his_o power_n and_o authority_n from_o god_n he_o shall_v employ_v it_o best_o for_o his_o service_n in_o the_o world_n which_o he_o can_v do_v but_o by_o promote_a and_o maintain_v true_a religion_n second_o this_o will_v further_o appear_v from_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o formal_a cause_n of_o magistracy_n to_o wit_n the_o law_n for_o it_o be_v the_o law_n that_o give_v form_n and_o be_v to_o the_o magistrate_n and_o be_v the_o life_n and_o

derive_v all_o their_o force_n from_o religion_n because_o the_o moral_a law_n of_o god_n be_v the_o supreme_a law_n of_o all_o nation_n and_o therefore_o the_o ground_n and_o rule_n of_o all_o humane_a law_n which_o law_n of_o god_n we_o see_v do_v in_o the_o first_o place_n take_v care_n for_o religion_n and_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n as_o the_o bottom_n and_o ground_n of_o all_o duty_n of_o moral_a justice_n between_o man_n our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o first_o and_o great_a commandment_n of_o the_o law_n be_v to_o love_v the_o lord_n our_o god_n with_o all_o our_o

divine_a law_n be_v both_o the_o foundation_n and_o directory_n of_o all_o other_o law_n it_o must_v therefore_o follow_v that_o all_o humane_a law_n by_o which_o magistrate_n ought_v to_o govern_v shall_v in_o the_o first_o place_n provide_v for_o true_a religion_n and_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n for_o the_o moral_a law_n of_o god_n be_v the_o supreme_a law_n and_o rule_n of_o life_n for_o all_o mankind_n be_v therefore_o the_o rule_n of_o all_o law_n and_o government_n and_o all_o humane_a law_n that_o have_v the_o true_a nature_n of_o law_n be_v ground_v on_o it_o or_o reducible_a to_o it_o or_o else_o theyare_a but_o tyrannical_a imposition_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o political_a law_n of_o nation_n be_v say_v to_o have_v a_o kind_n of_o sacredness_n in_o they_o which_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v when_o they_o be_v found_v as_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v on_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n &_o their_o agreement_n thereunto_o give_v force_n and_o obligation_n to_o they_o for_o the_o obligation_n of_o law_n arise_v from_o the_o good_a end_n they_o tend_v unto_o and_o be_v useful_a for_o in_o conjunction_n with_o the_o lawful_a authority_n that_o impose_v they_o so_o that_o now_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o humane_a law_n whereunto_o they_o ought_v to_o correspond_v in_o all_o the_o precept_n thereof_o respective_o it_o follow_v therefore_o that_o the_o law_n of_o magistrate_n in_o conformity_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n which_o we_o see_v give_v the_o preference_n to_o first_o table-duty_n ought_v also_o in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o provide_v for_o the_o exercise_n of_o true_a religion_n and_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n as_o the_o ground_n of_o all_o other_o law_n that_o respect_v moral_a justice_n among_o man_n three_o from_o the_o final_a cause_n or_o end_v of_o magistracy_n which_o be_v threefold_a 1._o the_o glory_n of_o god._n 2._o the_o good_a of_o society_n 3._o the_o good_a of_o the_o church_n first_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n which_o as_o it_o be_v the_o chief_a and_o ultimate_a end_n of_o man_n so_o of_o all_o god_n ordinance_n and_o institution_n for_o the_o sake_n and_o good_a of_o mankind_n that_o in_o and_o by_o they_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n may_v be_v advance_v god_n then_o be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o magistracy_n it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o his_o glory_n must_v be_v the_o principal_a end_n now_o it_o be_v the_o proper_a end_n and_o use_v of_o religion_n to_o give_v glory_n to_o god_n and_o without_o the_o practice_n of_o true_a religion_n the_o divine_a perfection_n be_v not_o actual_o adore_v and_o advance_v if_o then_o the_o end_n of_o magistracy_n be_v to_o advance_v and_o set_v up_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o the_o world_n he_o ought_v to_o set_v up_o and_o maintain_v true_a religion_n as_o the_o great_a glory_n can_v be_v bring_v to_o god_n in_o this_o world._n second_o the_o good_a of_o society_n be_v the_o subordinate_a end_n of_o magistracy_n for_o as_o the_o fundamental_a humane_a cause_n of_o government_n be_v the_o necessity_n of_o it_o for_o the_o public_a good_a so_o the_o end_n of_o magistracy_n in_o that_o respect_n be_v that_o the_o temporal_a good_a and_o tranquillity_n of_o society_n may_v be_v promote_v and_o preserve_v now_o if_o there_o be_v no_o high_a cause_n and_o end_n of_o magistracy_n than_o this_o as_o we_o have_v already_o and_o shall_v further_o prove_v there_o be_v yet_o nevertheless_o it_o will_v be_v the_o duty_n of_o magistrate_n to_o take_v care_n for_o religion_n because_o it_o be_v very_o certain_a that_o true_a religion_n do_v best_a of_o all_o conduce_v to_o the_o temporal_a good_a of_o society_n this_o be_v plain_a not_o only_o from_o the_o scripture_n that_o assure_v we_o that_o godliness_n be_v profitable_a unto_o all_o thing_n 1_o tim._n 4._o 8._o but_o also_o from_o the_o reason_n and_o experience_n of_o mankind_n therefore_o we_o see_v that_o even_o in_o those_o nation_n that_o be_v void_a of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o true_a religion_n yet_o those_o that_o be_v legistator_n and_o governor_n among_o they_o always_o with_o their_o law_n mix_v some_o precept_n of_o religion_n and_o opinion_n of_o god_n some_o pretend_v they_o receive_v their_o law_n from_o god_n himself_o whereby_o we_o see_v that_o they_o think_v that_o law_n and_o government_n can_v not_o stand_v without_o something_o of_o religion_n which_o though_o their_o religious_a precept_n be_v superstitious_a and_o idolatrous_a in_o the_o want_n of_o divine_a revelation_n yet_o nevertheless_o it_o thence_o appear_v that_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n teach_v they_o not_o only_o the_o necessity_n and_o obligation_n of_o government_n and_o law_n but_o also_o that_o the_o sense_n of_o religion_n be_v the_o most_o necessary_a foundation_n of_o it_o and_o then_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o if_o any_o thing_n of_o religion_n be_v necessary_a for_o the_o temporal_a good_a of_o government_n that_o the_o true_a religion_n be_v then_o best_a of_o all_o and_o most_o necessary_a that_o be_v the_o spring_n and_o fountain_n of_o all_o virtue_n from_o whence_o be_v to_o be_v draw_v not_o only_o the_o best_a direction_n for_o but_o the_o strong_a motive_n and_o engagement_n unto_o all_o those_o duty_n of_o moral_a justice_n and_o charity_n among_o man_n which_o be_v so_o absolute_o necessary_a even_o to_o the_o temporal_a good_a of_o society_n it_o will_v be_v easy_a to_o demonstrate_v that_o true_a religion_n be_v certain_o the_o best_a foundation_n of_o all_o political_a government_n and_o of_o the_o execution_n of_o law_n the_o obedience_n of_o subject_n and_o of_o the_o exercise_n of_o that_o justice_n and_o charity_n between_o man_n which_o only_o can_v render_v the_o life_n of_o man_n peaceable_a and_o 〈◊〉_d in_o this_o world._n if_o then_o the_o end_n of_o magistracy_n and_o civil_a government_n be_v only_o for_o the_o temporal_a good_a of_o society_n yet_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o magistrate_n to_o advance_v and_o maintain_v true_a religion_n because_o it_o chief_o conduce_v and_o be_v so_o necessary_a to_o
