that_o sobriety_n to_o be_v use_v in_o determine_v question_n that_o a_o fit_a respect_n may_v not_o only_o be_v have_v for_o austin_n and_o prosper_v and_o fulgentius_n but_o also_o that_o man_n may_v abstain_v from_o condemn_v those_o sentence_n in_o which_o it_o be_v manifest_a most_o holy_a man_n live_v and_o dve_v who_o after_o the_o apostle_n and_o before_o the_o empire_n of_o constantine_n in_o the_o age_n most_o conspicuous_a for_o all_o piety_n edify_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n by_o their_o word_n and_o write_n by_o their_o life_n and_o blood_n i_o be_o now_o come_v to_o the_o last_o part_n which_o be_v concern_v the_o magistrate_n and_o here_o molinaeus_n say_v pleasant_o he_o be_v ease_v by_o i_o because_o i_o be_o forward_a to_o teach_v he_o what_o ought_v to_o be_v his_o opinion_n wherein_o he_o show_v himself_o much_o mistake_v in_o my_o purpose_n for_o my_o intent_n be_v neither_o to_o teach_v he_o who_o i_o think_v fit_a to_o be_v admonish_v by_o your_o honour_n as_o from_o yourself_o touch_v some_o thing_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v never_o see_v what_o i_o have_v write_v to_o you_o nor_o to_o teach_v any_o other_o but_o free_o to_o deposit_v my_o thought_n in_o your_o bosom_n my_o most_o noble_a friend_n and_o that_o upon_o this_o occasion_n because_o i_o understand_v by_o you_o that_o molinaeus_n bestow_v upon_o learned_a magistrate_n some_o right_n which_o he_o will_v not_o grant_v to_o the_o less_o learned_a that_o do_v not_o please_v i_o i_o confess_v and_o therefore_o i_o give_v a_o clear_a distinction_n as_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o and_o perspicuous_a between_o the_o right_n or_o power_n and_o the_o aptitude_n or_o ability_n but_o molinaeus_n here_o be_v so_o far_o from_o take_v my_o sense_n that_o he_o ascribe_v to_o i_o a_o meaning_n contrary_n to_o my_o word_n he_o say_v i_o will_v have_v a_o right_n of_o make_v law_n to_o pertain_v to_o the_o learned_a magistrate_n i_o say_v it_o not_o yea_o i_o signify_v the_o contrary_a that_o learning_n make_v nothing_o to_o the_o right_n itself_o he_o say_v after_o a_o senator_n or_o judge_n if_o he_o be_v a_o lawyer_n be_v so_o as_o he_o be_v a_o judge_n i_o much_o dislike_v this_o for_o there_o be_v many_o lawyer_n not_o judge_n and_o many_o judge_n not_o lawyer_n the_o one_o be_v a_o name_n of_o office_n the_o other_o of_o skill_n take_v another_o example_n there_o be_v many_o pastor_n alas_o too_o unskilful_a of_o holy_a letter_n their_o office_n be_v to_o interpret_v scripture_n nor_o be_v they_o without_o a_o right_n but_o they_o have_v not_o a_o aptitude_n thereto_o requisite_a science_n therefore_o neither_o give_v nor_o increase_v right_a but_o to_o the_o good_a use_v of_o it_o conduce_v much_o a_o unskilful_a prince_n not_o to_o speak_v yet_o of_o church-affair_n have_v no_o less_o right_a to_o give_v command_n in_o civil_a affair_n and_o to_o make_v law_n than_o a_o prince_n most_o learned_a i_o much_o admire_v these_o thing_n be_v not_o consider_v by_o a_o man_n most_o acute_a that_o which_o be_v speak_v of_o knowledge_n understand_v also_o of_o probity_n of_o mind_n he_o must_v be_v a_o good_a man_n that_o will_v govern_v well_o but_o the_o right_n itself_o of_o govern_v depend_v no_o more_o upon_o virtue_n than_o the_o dominion_n of_o a_o private_a estate_n for_o the_o covetous_a man_n be_v as_o well_o master_n of_o his_o good_n as_o the_o liberal_a though_o the_o liberal_a right_o use_v riches_n which_o the_o covetous_a abuse_v molinaeus_n suppose_v i_o will_v have_v the_o magistrate_n who_o shall_v govern_v the_o church_n to_o be_v orthodox_n real_o i_o will_v and_o all_o rich_a man_n to_o be_v liberal_a he_o ask_v who_o shall_v judge_v whether_o the_o magistrate_n be_v orthodox_n if_o himself_n great_a danger_n if_o other_o then_o will_v the_o magistrate_n be_v subject_a to_o other_o judgement_n i_o will_v ask_v likewise_o who_o shall_v judge_v whether_o the_o magistrate_n be_v sufficient_o skilled_a in_o civil_a matter_n and_o if_o that_o argumentation_n prevail_v i_o will_v conclude_v the_o magistrate_n to_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o people_n i_o will_v ask_v again_o when_o the_o magistrate_n must_v apply_v himself_o to_o some_o church_n who_o shall_v judge_v whether_o this_o or_o that_o church_n be_v the_o more_o orthodox_n shall_v he_o or_o the_o church_n if_o he_o there_o be_v also_o the_o same_o danger_n as_o before_o if_o the_o church_n this_o be_v to_o beg_v the_o question_n for_o there_o be_v no_o assembly_n of_o christian_n which_o call_v not_o itself_o a_o church_n and_o that_o orthodox_n too_o but_o say_v he_o a_o infidel_n magistrate_n will_v abuse_v this_o example_n and_o usurp_v the_o same_o power_n as_o if_o to_o allege_v a_o incommodity_n be_v to_o solve_v the_o argument_n what_o be_v there_o in_o humane_a affair_n without_o some_o incommodity_n may_v not_o i_o in_o like_a manner_n say_v if_o that_o be_v give_v to_o the_o church_n which_o i_o conceive_v be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o the_o magistrate_n a_o assembly_n of_o heretical_a pastor_n will_v also_o abuse_v this_o example_n and_o usurp_v the_o same_o right_n if_o any_o where_o it_o prevail_v as_o it_o have_v happen_v more_o than_o once_o i_o will_v answer_v in_o the_o word_n of_o austin_n king_n when_o they_o be_v in_o error_n make_v law_n for_o error_n against_o the_o truth_n and_o when_o they_o be_v in_o the_o truth_n make_v law_n for_o truth_n against_o error_n so_o be_v good_a man_n try_v by_o evil_a law_n and_o by_o good_a law_n be_v evil_a man_n reform_v you_o see_v how_o little_a austin_n fear_v that_o incommodity_n and_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v of_o no_o moment_n aurelian_a the_o emperor_n be_v not_o orthodox_n therefore_o he_o can_v not_o expel_v from_o his_o bishopric_n the_o heretic_n samosatenus_fw-la this_o consequence_n be_v not_o perceive_v by_o the_o holy_a father_n who_o yield_v the_o judgement_n of_o samosatenus_fw-la to_o the_o emperor_n so_o far_o that_o the_o cause_n be_v examine_v they_o request_v he_o may_v by_o the_o imperial_a authority_n be_v dethrone_v neither_o will_v paul_n have_v appeal_v unto_o nero_n have_v he_o believe_v no_o right_a of_o judge_v in_o a_o case_n of_o religion_n belong_v to_o he_o wherefore_o as_o trajan_n civil_o honest_a nero_n wicked_a be_v nevertheless_o equal_a in_o the_o right_n of_o government_n so_o pious_a constantine_n and_o impious_a nero_n be_v equal_a in_o the_o right_n of_o judge_v in_o aptitude_n and_o skill_n unequal_a this_o most_o learned_a man_n further_o inquire_v whether_o by_o govern_v the_o church_n i_o understand_v be_v judge_n in_o the_o head_n of_o faith_n or_o a_o power_n to_o purge_v the_o church_n of_o scandal_n and_o to_o command_v belief_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o i_o wonder_v these_o be_v part_v which_o do_v seem_v to_o i_o indissoluble_o join_v for_o if_o it_o be_v the_o office_n of_o a_o king_n to_o command_v that_o those_o thing_n be_v teach_v which_o be_v true_a that_o scandal_n be_v avoid_v among_o which_o heresy_n have_v the_o chief_a place_n how_o shall_v he_o do_v this_o unless_o he_o judge_v what_o be_v true_a what_o be_v heresy_n for_o the_o act_n of_o command_v reguire_v the_o power_n of_o judge_v but_o he_o say_v those_o thing_n must_v be_v command_v to_o be_v believe_v which_o be_v establish_v by_o the_o assembly_n of_o pastor_n orthodox_n and_o he_o that_o say_v this_o do_v he_o not_o show_v it_o be_v at_o lest_o require_v to_o judge_v who_o be_v those_o orthodox_n pastor_n now_o because_o the_o example_n of_o king_n edward_n of_o the_o state_n of_o holland_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o orange_n be_v allege_v i_o inquire_v when_o there_o be_v
