of_o the_o law_n namely_o when_o the_o magistrate_n by_o outward_a punishment_n repress_v all_o offence_n commit_v against_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o first_o and_o second_o table_n 39_o but_o here_o arise_v a_o very_a difficult_a question_n conscience_n 1._o question_n whether_o humane_a law_n do_v bind_v the_o conscience_n concern_v the_o observation_n of_o humane_a law_n namely_o whether_o humane_a law_n do_v simple_o bind_v the_o conscience_n and_o with_o what_o conscience_n they_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v and_o obey_v 40_o some_o bold_o and_o magnifical_o brag_v of_o their_o christian_a liberty_n whereby_o they_o affirm_v that_o in_o corporal_a thing_n they_o be_v exempt_v and_o free_v from_o all_o politic_a servitude_n and_o obedience_n for_o say_v they_o if_o obedience_n be_v necessary_a then_o be_v there_o no_o liberty_n for_o liberty_n and_o obedience_n be_v thing_n repugnant_a one_o unto_o the_o other_o 41_o other_o hold_v that_o the_o obligation_n of_o ecclesiastical_a and_o civil_a law_n be_v different_a and_o unlike_a affirm_v that_o the_o civil_a law_n do_v simple_o and_o absolute_o bind_v the_o conscience_n and_o that_o the_o ecclesiastical_a law_n do_v bind_v only_o in_o case_n of_o scandal_n 42_o unto_o who_o we_o answer_v first_o men._n of_o the_o necessity_n of_o law_n among_o men._n as_o concern_v christian_a liberty_n there_o be_v some_o man_n so_o wild_a and_o rude_a by_o nature_n that_o they_o hate_v all_o law_n as_o they_o do_v a_o prison_n or_o gaol_n and_o never_o think_v themselves_o free_a enough_o except_o they_o break_v all_o the_o chain_n and_o bond_n of_o civil_a obedience_n and_o brotherly_a society_n 43_o but_o if_o once_o they_o do_v but_o in_o their_o conceit_n imagine_v such_o a_o estate_n of_o life_n wherein_o there_o be_v no_o law_n at_o all_o then_o shall_v they_o be_v force_v though_o against_o their_o will_n to_o confess_v that_o that_o life_n of_o man_n can_v want_v the_o safeguard_n and_o defence_n of_o law_n 44_o for_o in_o that_o lamentable_a and_o miserable_a estate_n there_o appear_v nothing_o but_o a_o confusion_n of_o all_o licentiousness_n and_o wickedness_n and_o a_o commixtion_n of_o all_o heinous_a crime_n commit_v with_o freedom_n without_o any_o controlment_n all_o place_n abound_v with_o robbery_n slaughter_n rapine_n theft_n and_o deceit_n 45_o wherein_o no_o man_n bridle_v or_o curb_v his_o own_o lust_n but_o dare_v commit_v any_o villainy_n that_o come_v into_o his_o mind_n so_o as_o no_o man_n good_a or_o bad_a can_v be_v secure_a and_o safe_a from_o open_a wrong_n oppression_n and_o violence_n of_o other_o 46_o and_o to_o conclude_v in_o this_o estate_n there_o be_v not_o any_o appearance_n of_o the_o life_n of_o man_n but_o of_o beast_n or_o rather_o of_o monstrous_a cyclopes_n who_o be_v ask_v in_o the_o poet_n euripides_n what_o kind_n of_o life_n they_o do_v lead_v they_o answer_v we_o be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d brutish_a

may_v be_v sufficient_o acknowledge_v how_o much_o we_o be_v to_o attribute_v to_o law_n and_o order_n which_o whosoever_o go_v about_o to_o abrogate_v or_o to_o remove_v from_o humane_a society_n it_o be_v very_o to_o remove_v or_o to_o take_v away_o the_o sun_n out_o of_o the_o world_n 48_o and_o yet_o by_o this_o we_o do_v not_o abolish_v the_o doctrine_n of_o christian_a liberty_n liberty_n the_o obedience_n of_o law_n take_v not_o away_o christian_a liberty_n which_o concern_v matter_n of_o far_o great_a importance_n than_o civil_a and_o external_a liberty_n 49_o but_o wicked_a epicure_n and_o godless_a man_n do_v above_o measure_n stretch_v and_o strain_v this_o doctrine_n transfer_v it_o to_o that_o liberty_n of_o the_o flesh_n which_o be_v not_o allow_v by_o god_n because_o under_o the_o pretence_n of_o liberty_n they_o seek_v immunity_n from_o all_o civil_a charge_n and_o burden_n from_o all_o law_n and_o from_o magistrate_n who_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n himself_o do_v not_o only_o by_o word_n but_o also_o by_o his_o own_o example_n teach_v that_o he_o do_v not_o abolish_v the_o lawful_a magistrate_n or_o any_o godly_a and_o profitable_a law_n and_o
