A77739	A confutation of the Anabaptists, and all others who affect not civill government; proving the lawfullnesse of it: and a full answer to all their cavills, that are, or can be made against it. With a nut-cracker for an unnaturall nut, whose shell is as hard as the scales of Leviathan, and the kernell of his heart as hard as a piece of the nether mill-stone, Iob 41.15.24. yet the hammer of Gods word that breaketh in pieces the rocks, Ier. 23.29. will break this nut, that all may see the devillish kernell that is in it. Also arguments against the Anabaptists, proving that infants borne of Christian parents ought to be baptized: with a full answer to all their cavills that are (or can be) made against it. Imprimatur Ja. Cranford.	Bakewell, Thomas, b. 1618 or 19.	1644 (1644)	Wing B530; Thomason E51_20; ESTC R209932	98,225	89

main_a argument_n to_o prove_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o civil_a government_n among_o christian_n first_o civil_a government_n be_v very_o necessary_a and_o that_o appear_v in_o many_o particulars_n such_o as_o these_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o defend_v the_o outward_a worship_v of_o god_n and_o to_o defend_v the_o sound_a doctrine_n of_o godliness_n and_o the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n and_o to_o frame_v our_o life_n to_o the_o fellowship_n of_o man_n and_o to_o fashion_v our_o manner_n to_o civil_a righteousness_n and_o to_o procure_v we_o into_o friendship_n one_o with_o another_o and_o to_o nourish_v common_a peace_n and_o quietness_n now_o while_o we_o be_v here_o we_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o such_o help_n so_o then_o the_o thought_n of_o put_v down_o civil_a government_n be_v outrageous_a cruelty_n for_o we_o stand_v in_o as_o much_o need_n of_o it_o as_o of_o our_o bread_n and_o water_n the_o sun_n and_o the_o air_n yea_o the_o dignity_n of_o it_o be_v far_o more_o excellent_a for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o civil_a government_n man_n can_v not_o live_v together_o the_o outrageousness_n of_o man_n nature_n will_v be_v so_o boundless_a again_o if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o civil_a government_n it_o be_v unpossible_a to_o uphold_v the_o true_a religion_n for_o all_o manner_n of_o wickedness_n will_v so_o abound_v as_o idolatry_n and_o sacrilege_n against_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o blasphemy_n against_o his_o truth_n and_o all_o manner_n of_o sin_n for_o the_o man_n micah_n have_v his_o house_n of_o god_n in_o those_o day_n there_o be_v no_o king_n in_o israel_n but_o every_o man_n do_v that_o which_o be_v right_a in_o his_o o●●ne_a eye_n judge_n 17.5.6_o and_o he_o consecrate_v a_o levite_n to_o idolatry_n &_o put_v ●●m_fw-la in_o his_o house_n of_o

the_o whore_n and_o go_v from_o he_o and_o be_v afterward_o force_v to_o death_n in_o those_o day_n there_o be_v no_o king_n in_o israel_n chap._n 19.1.2.25_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n have_v

king_n in_o israel_n every_o man_n do_v that_o which_o be_v right_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n chap._n 21.18.25_o now_o the_o civil_a government_n restrain_v all_o these_o outrageous_a abomination_n among_o the_o people_n that_o common_a peace_n be_v not_o disturb_v that_o every_o man_n may_v keep_v his_o own_o in_o safety_n that_o man_n may_v use_v their_o affair_n together_o without_o hurt_n or_o danger_n that_o honesty_n and_o modesty_n may_v be_v keep_v and_o that_o among_o christian_n there_o may_v be_v a_o profession_n of_o religion_n and_o that_o among_o man_n may_v be_v a_o man_n like_o civility_n so_o then_o this_o ordinance_n of_o policy_n be_v to_o defend_v the_o true_a religion_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n that_o it_o be_v not_o open_o and_o sacriledgious_o break_v and_o defile_v the_o second_o main_a ground_n to_o prove_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o civil_a government_n be_v take_v from_o the_o honourable_a title_n that_o god_n be_v please_v to_o put_v upon_o it_o when_o he_o commend_v it_o unto_o we_o those_o who_o it_o please_v god_n to_o put_v in_o the_o place_n of_o magistrate_n they_o be_v call_v god_n i_o have_v say_v you_o be_v god_n psal_n 82.6_o and_o this_o be_v of_o no_o small_a importance_n for_o thereby_o be_v signify_v that_o they_o have_v commandment_n from_o god_n and_o that_o they_o be_v furnish_v with_o the_o

call_v they_o god_n unto_o who_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v give_v which_o be_v his_o word_n of_o command_n be_v a_o word_n of_o authority_n what_o be_v this_o

the_o kingdom_n unto_o he_o hence_o i_o conclude_v that_o to_o exempt_v the_o clergy_n from_o under_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n be_v rebellion_n four_o they_o object_v that_o king_n and_o prince_n of_o their_o bounty_n have_v grant_v these_o privilege_n unto_o they_o i_o answer_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n acknowledge_v a_o civil_a subjection_n and_o the_o law_n of_o god_n

obey_v magistrate_n and_o to_o be_v ready_a to_o every_o good_a work_n titus_n 2.1_o then_o i_o conclude_v hence_o that_o no_o law_n of_o any_o man_n may_v offer_v violence_n or_o derogate_v from_o either_o of_o these_o five_o they_o object_n from_o jer._n 1.10_o where_o the_o lord_n say_v i_o have_v set_v thou_o over_o nation_n and_o kingdom_n to_o plant_v and_o to_o pluck_v up_o hence_o they_o gather_v that_o the_o prophet_n and_o their_o successor_n be_v not_o to_o be_v subject_a unto_o civil_a government_n i_o answer_v the_o prophet_n be_v set_v over_o nation_n and_o kingdom_n but_o not_o to_o govern_v by_o the_o civil_a sword_n but_o by_o the_o sword_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o his_o mouth_n and_o he_o be_v to_o plant_v and_o pluck_v up_o kingdom_n not_o otherwise_o then_o by_o declare_v that_o god_n will_v plant_v or_o pluck_v they_o up_o six_o they_o object_n from_o isa_n 60.10_o that_o king_n shall_v come_v and_o serve_v the_o church_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o therefore_o the_o church_n be_v not_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o prince_n but_o they_o unto_o the_o church_n i_o answer_v in_o the_o church_n be_v two_o thing_n first_o the_o person_n of_o man_n second_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n now_o it_o be_v true_a that_o king_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n in_o the_o church_n as_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n to_o these_o ordinance_n of_o god_n no_o calling_n be_v exempt_v say_v paul_n ourselves_o be_v servant_n for_o jesus_n sake_n but_o to_o the_o first_o of_o these_o which_o be_v the_o person_n of_o believer_n to_o these_o king_n and_o magistrate_n be_v not_o subject_a but_o to_o this_o very_a question_n when_o some_o servant_n be_v convert_v when_o they_o live_v under_o infidel_n master_n they_o think_v themselves_o by_o this_o spiritual_a calling_n to_o be_v free_v from_o serve_v their_o master_n any_o long_o but_o say_v paul_n let_v every_o man_n abide_v in_o the_o same_o call_n wherein_o he_o be_v call_v be_v thou_o call_v to_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n be_v a_o servant_n care_n not_o for_o it_o yet_o if_o thou_o can_v be_v free_v from_o serve_v a_o infidel_n use_v it_o rather_o but_o if_o thou_o can_v not_o here_o be_v thy_o comfort_n he_o that_o be_v call_v be_v a_o servant_n be_v the_o lord_n freeman_n therefore_o brethren_n let_v every_o man_n wherein_o he_o be_v call_v therein_o abide_v with_o

it_o be_v in_o this_o case_n as_o it_o be_v with_o outward_a riches_n the_o people_n of_o god_n only_o have_v a_o true_a right_n to_o they_o all_o by_o christ_n so_o that_o all_o the_o riches_n in_o

they_o be_v in_o it_o we_o ought_v to_o yield_v obedience_n to_o they_o for_o say_v peter_z cervant_n be_v subject_a to_o your_o master_n with_o all_o fear_n now_o mark_n not_o only_o to_o the_o

their_o person_n second_o their_o ministry_n now_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o person_n all_o of_o they_o be_v subject_a to_o their_o prince_n and_o that_o for_o conscience_n sake_n but_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o ministry_n prince_n and_o magistrate_n be_v to_o be_v subject_n both_o when_o the_o word_n be_v teach_v &_o the_o sacrament_n be_v administer_v all_o must_v submit_v themselves_o unto_o
