peace_n of_o kingdom_n church_n and_o state_n be_v in_o express_a term_n ascribe_v unto_o god_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o disturb_v and_o confound_v of_o kingdom_n state_n and_o church_n may_v be_v

the_o vindicative_a effect_n of_o divine_a justice_n but_o by_o confusion_n in_o my_o text_n be_v mean_v only_o malum_fw-la culpae_fw-la the_o evil_a of_o sin_n in_o those_o that_o be_v the_o disturber_n of_o church_n and_o state_n and_o therefore_o god_n can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o author_n of_o it_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o neither_o god_n nor_o man_n can_v proper_o be_v say_v to_o

it_o himself_o neither_o do_v he_o command_v or_o advise_v or_o direct_v or_o allow_v of_o it_o whereas_o he_o be_v not_o only_o the_o author_n but_o the_o god_n of_o peace_n and_o his_o son_n be_v the_o prince_n of_o peace_n and_o his_o spirit_n be_v the_o spirit_n of_o peace_n and_o his_o gospel_n be_v the_o gospel_n of_o peace_n and_o his_o way_n be_v the_o way_n of_o peace_n neither_o do_v

the_o church_n of_o christ_n and_o as_o a_o part_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n to_o the_o great_a prejudice_n of_o humane_a society_n to_o the_o great_a offence_n and_o danger_n of_o prince_n and_o governor_n and_o to_o the_o great_a scandal_n of_o christianity_n itself_o namely_o such_o doctrine_n as_o must_v be_v if_o they_o be_v believe_v and_o practise_v destructive_a of_o the_o public_a peace_n and_o safety_n of_o church_n state_n and_o prince_n for_o although_o as_o i_o say_v before_o in_o my_o first_o particular_a the_o occasion_n of_o these_o

confusion_n which_o he_o see_v in_o that_o one_o church_n and_o state_n for_o the_o present_a but_o likewise_o to_o prevent_v the_o same_o or_o the_o like_a or_o perhaps_o worse_a disorder_n which_o he_o foresee_v may_v be_v and_o will_v be_v in_o any_o church_n or_o state_n nay_o in_o all_o church_n and_o state_n for_o the_o future_a if_o the_o like_a doctrine_n i_o mean_v any_o doctrine_n inconsistent_a with_o the_o public_a peace_n or_o tend_v to_o public_a confusion_n be_v any_o where_o else_o teach_v and_o believe_v to_o be_v from_o god_n and_o therefore_o the_o same_o use_v which_o st._n paul_n then_o make_v of_o this_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d this_o theological_a principle_n in_o my_o text_n may_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v make_v of_o it_o by_o we_o now_o if_o there_o be_v the_o same_o occasion_n for_o it_o because_o god_n be_v as_o much_o the_o author_n of_o peace_n and_o no_o more_o the_o author_n of_o confusion_n now_o than_o he_o be_v then_o and_o if_o he_o be_v not_o the_o author_n of_o confusion_n he_o can_v be_v the_o author_n of_o any_o doctrine_n or_o doctrine_n tend_v to_o confusion_n neither_o which_o be_v st._n paul_n own_o inference_n and_o not_o i_o for_o indeed_o the_o very_a reason_n why_o st._n paul_n tell_v the_o corinthian_n that_o god_n be_v not_o the_o author_n of_o confusion_n but_o of_o peace_n be_v to_o convince_v they_o that_o many_o of_o those_o doctrine_n which_o be_v bring_v in_o among_o they_o and_o pretend_v to_o be_v from_o god_n be_v not_o from_o god_n indeed_o because_o they_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o peace_n or_o because_o they_o tend_v to_o confusion_n which_o can_v not_o have_v be_v a_o convince_a argument_n to_o they_o then_o as_o to_o that_o particular_a if_o it_o be_v not_o always_o true_a in_o the_o general_n that_o no_o doctrine_n tend_v to_o confusion_n or_o to_o the_o make_n of_o disturbance_n either_o in_o church_n or_o state_n can_v true_o be_v say_v to_o be_v from_o god_n or_o that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o it_o but_o be_v not_o will_n you_o say_v the_o preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n obj._n the_o preach_n of_o christianity_n itself_o the_o cause_n of_o great_a commotion_n and_o

which_o be_v the_o only_a considerable_a objection_n i_o can_v think_v of_o answ._n i_o answer_v that_o christian_a religion_n be_v indeed_o the_o occasion_n but_o not_o the_o cause_n of_o those_o
