A56215	The sword of Christian magistracy supported, or, A vindication of the Christian magistrates authority under the Gospell, to punish idolatry, apostacy, heresie, blasphemy, and obstinate schism, with corporall, and in some cases with capitall punishments ... by William Prinne of Lincolns Inne, Esquire.

one_o grand_a objection_n against_o punish_v heretic_n and_o blasphemer_n with_o death_n because_o god_n himself_o will_v punish_v they_o if_o they_o repent_v not_o and_o we_o must_v whole_o leave_v they_o to_o his_o judgement_n four_o that_o the_o best_a and_o speedy_a course_n to_o remove_v god_n judgement_n bring_v upon_o a_o nation_n for_o idolatry_n apostasy_n heresy_n or_o blasphemy_n be_v for_o the_o temporal_a magistrate_n to_o execute_v speedy_a and_o exemplary_a capital_a punishment_n on_o those_o who_o be_v notorious_o guilty_a of_o they_o and_o that_o fast_v and_o prayer_n without_o such_o exemplary_a execution_n upon_o the_o most_o eminent_a malefactor_n in_o this_o kind_n will_v never_o pacify_v god_n wrath_n nor_o remove_v his_o judgement_n inflict_v for_o these_o sin_n five_o that_o the_o execute_n of_o capital_a punishment_n upon_o such_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o true_a zeal_n to_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o seem_v strange_a to_o i_o that_o those_o in_o this_o age_n who_o pretend_v themselves_o the_o only_a saint_n zealot_n faithful_a one_o paramount_n all_o other_o by_o head_n and_o shoulder_n in_o grace_n and_o piety_n shall_v be_v so_o void_a of_o christian_a zeal_n for_o god_n as_o to_o plead_v preach_v write_v and_o print_v against_o the_o corporal_a and_o capital_a punishment_n or_o apostate_n idolater_n heretic_n and_o blasphemer_n by_o temporal_a magistrate_n and_o for_o a_o free_a toleration_n of_o all_o sect_n heresy_n and_o religion_n whatsoever_o under_o the_o pretence_n of_o liberary_n of_o conscience_n certain_o this_o extreme_a want_n of_o holy_a zeal_n for_o god_n against_o apostate_n idolater_n heretic_n blasphemer_n and_o plead_v for_o their_o impunity_n at_o least_o with_o capital_a censure_n argue_v they_o to_o be_v no_o real_a saint_n because_o they_o have_v no_o true_a love_n to_o nor_o zeal_n for_o god_n which_o will_v make_v they_o as_o forward_o to_o thrust_v their_o javelin_n or_o the_o sword_n of_o justice_n through_o the_o bowel_n of_o such_o transcendent_a offender_n as_o phineas_n be_v to_o thrust_v his_o javelin_n through_o zimri_n and_o cozbi_n without_o any_o question_n or_o dispute_v six_o that_o the_o exemplary_a capital_a punish_v of_o such_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o persecution_n of_o the_o saint_n or_o against_o the_o clemency_n of_o god_n under_o the_o law_n or_o gospel_n that_o it_o be_v a_o most_o acceptable_a service_n to_o god_n and_o procure_v a_o special_a blessing_n upon_o the_o person_n and_o posterity_n of_o those_o who_o be_v most_o zealous_a and_o
