It is a sin against Gods Ordinance Jude v. 8. Prov. 8.15.2 It s against the publick welfare p. 278. They that are weary of Magistrates are weary of all the comforts and blessings of peace 3. It s against our own happiness An evil man seeketh only rebellion therefore an evil messenger shall be sent against him Eccl. 10.8 I do not remember that God suffered any godly man to put another out of Government or to put himself in p. 300.

Concerning Subscription to the Book of Ordaining Priests and Deacons Bishop What think you Gentlemen of subscribing to that Book of Ordination Mr. Ball. We may subscribe to the Ordaining of Ministers Mr. Ball against Canne ● 89.90 which are essentiall allowed by Gods word though as to some circumstantial order whereby in this or that society the Minister is to execute that function he hath received from God he is not expresly allowed of in the word of God 2. If they be not lawful Ministers who receive their Ordination from Bishops Mr. Ball part 1. p. 25. the Church throughout the world hath been destitute of a lawful Minister this 1500. or 1600. years Bishop What say you Mr. Baxter to this Baxter So eminent in Gods graces and gifrs were the Bishops that their names will be precious whilst Christ hath in England a Reformed Church 2. Our Jewel our Usher our Davenant hath done so much against the Roman Usurpers Baxter Disp Church Government p. 4. that they will not be able to claw it off them to the last Moreover who knoweth not that most of the godly able Ministers of England since the Reformation did judge Episcopacy some of them lawful and some of them most sit for the Non-conformists were but few and that before these late troubles and warrs c. the most through the Land did subscribe and conform to Episcopal Government as a thing not contrary to the word of God so that it is very evident Baxter Disp ibi● that it is very consistent with a godly life to judge Episcopacy lawful and just or else we should not have had so many learned and godly men of that mind Bishop Gentlemen I am very glad to see and hear so unanimous a consent to the several parts of the Act of Vniformity I am told Mr. Calvin himself would conform Calvin I pray let there be one Form of Prayer Ep. ad Protect Selden Not in Eutycho and of Ecclesiastical Rites from which it may not be lawful for the Pastors in their function to depart That 1. thereby provision might be made for the simplicity of some 2.

That the extravagant Levity of some that affect novelties may be prevented Bishop Notwithstanding all this there be some tender Consciences that cannot submit to Authority what shall we do with these Mr. Edwards Of Tolerat l. 1. It s against the Conscience of the Magistrate to tolerate the erroneous Conscience of the Subject Mr. Case Sermon before Parliament A toleration is the abomination that makes desolate Mr. Nalton Sermon at Pauls 1659. on Jude p. 403 404. Toleration is intolerable Mr. Manton Believe not Seducers when they come in sheeps cloathing it is but that they may get the power to play the Wolves the better And when Libertines increase let the Magistrates look about them There are clouds gathering together towards a dismal storm and though they seem to be meek and full of love while their party is contemptible yet when they grow considerable Mr. Manton on Jude 403. they appear in their colours Many fear a second deluge of Anti-Christianism but that is not so probable as the seditious Insurrection of Sectaries The perilous times Mr. Manton ibid. 2 Tim. 3. are not from the Anti-Christian or Popish party so much as from the Libertines who are heady high-minded trayterous c.
