shew and the Toleration of Seducers made the world Antichristian as Mr. Cotton proves And how the Christian world hath been not onely shaken but even broken by the Arian and E●tychian persecutions by the insurrection of the Macedonians in Greece and by the Antichristian warres and persecutions for many hundred years is evidently proved by sad and experimentall demonstrations When King James did tolerate Papists he did persecute Puritans as they then called men that were seriously and invincibly pious When Seducers get head they strengthen their party by force aswell as fraud and oppose such as dissent from their damnable errours as the Circumcellians did with Clubs and Swords or as Zedekiah did Micaiah with his fists Muncer Becold c. who were so tender and careful to preserve the Tares would not suffer the wheat to grow till harvest XII We must distinguish as judicious Davenant did between tolerable and intolerable errours simple and complicate errours as others speak There are corrigible and incorrigible Heretikes some Hereticks are but perverted and they are teachable others are subverted men that are smitten with a Spirit of Obstinacy impenitent and self-condemned men condemned Formally by their own conscience or Virtually by their proud and stubborn contempt of Christian admonition and their voluntary rejection of plaine truths that they may enjoy their beloved errours and their haereticall lusts men whose lives are as full of Atheisme as their assertions of blasphemy Seducing Heretikes who endeavour to thrust away others from the beliefe or worship of the only true God Father Son and Holy Ghost The Calvinists do not say that any one ought to be put to death for simple Heresie as the reverend and learned Professours of Leyden shew in their censure of the Arminian confession And on the otherside the Lutherans grant that seditious blasphemous seducing Heretikes Idolators and Apostates are when they grow incorrigible to be punished with death aswell as Sorcerers Traytours or Adulterers Let them name one of us saith Beza if they can who saith that all Heretikes ought to be put to death or that calls every one Heretike who dissents from him in some pro●itable but not Fundamentall points Servetus saith Mr. Calvin might have saved his life if hee had been a modest Heretike Master Cotton approves the Decree of the Senate of Geneva for punishing of Servetus with death No judicious Protestant will affirme that errours are to be confuted with fire and faggot but with meeknesse of wisedome expressed in faithfull instructions and admonitions our reasons are spirituall and if the Magistrate draw the sword in Gods name it is not to punish simple errour but to smite some intolerable errour that is twisted and complicated with blasphemy Apostacy Obstinacy or some such sins as are eminent in Seducing Heretikes and destructive to the Soules Religion and Peace of Christians Some erroneous persons have the itch and some the plague some of them are melancholike and some of them are mad and mad men must be bound or at least not permitted to walk abroad without their keeper The itch and the plague are both infectious but they are not both alike dangerous and nothing is more clear in point of Civill-government then that Magistrates should not suffer any to go about with plague-sores running on them Seducing Apostates Blasphemous Heretikes and grosse Idolators do not only subvert Order and Peace but Faith Piety they infect nay poyson souls XI●I The glory of God the good of Soules the happinesse of Christian societies are irresistible Motives to quicken the Magistrate to act against such dangerous persons as we have described according to the law of judgement and their different demerits in Faith and Love 1. In Faith for the Christian Magistrate doth not act like himself if he doth not performe acts of Civill-justice in Faith And it is cleare that if there be no morall equity in any of the judiciall Lawes in the Old Testament and there are none at all extant in the New the Christian Magistrate cannot performe any act of Civill-justice in Faith But it is indeed too evident to be denyed that All divine lawes which concern the punishment of Morall transgressions are of perpetuall obligation and therefore still remaine in force according to their substance and generall equity abstracted from speciall circumstances Typicall Accessories and the old formes of Mosaicall Politie For 1. These divine Lawes are not expired in their own nature 2. They are not repealed by God 3. The authority of the Law-giver is the same under both Administrations old and new the consciences of Christians aswell as Jewes are subject to his soveraigne and perpetuall jurisdiction 4. The matter of the Lawes is Morall and very agreeable to the Dictates of nature as doth appeare by the severall Lawes and Decrees of Heathens Dan. 3. 29. Ezra 7. 23. 25 26 27. Ezra 10. 3. 5. 8. compared with Numb 15. 30 31. Levit. 24. 15 16. Deut. 13. 8 9. Zach. 13. 3 6. Seducing poysoning slaying of Soules is by the law of Nature and Nations the worst of injuries 5. The reason of these divine Lawes is immutable and that reason is sometimes expressed and declared But it is not necessary that there should be any expresse ratification of every Morall Law in the New Testament which is plainly delivered in the Old 6. These divine Lawes are Independent on the will of Man and therefore indispensable mans authority II. The Magistrate is to act in Christian Love and charity against these dangerous men It is mercy to drive away the wolfe and cruelty to spare him there must be so much Fatherly love shewen to the souls of Christians to the ●●ttle flock as to preserve them from Wolves and Foxes Hee who loves Christ the Christian religion the souls and peace of Christians will not beare the sword in vaine his head heart hand bowels will keep time in working according to the written Rule XIV The Happinesse of Civill societies aswell as Church Assemblies doth much depend upon the punishing of Antichristian Heretikes seducing Apostates c. according to the nature and measure of their offences In all Civil States whose Acts are recorded in sacred or profane stories the Magistrates were to have a care not only of Justice Honesty but of that Religion also which they estemed divine for the good happinesse of their Civil state though it is no wonder if the Heathens did misapply this zealous instinct of nature to the maintenance of Superstition and Idolatry of a false Religion and false Gods Socrates Theodorus and Protagoras famous Philosophers were all three condemned at Athens by the Law against Irreligion But let us look into Christian states When the means of Instruction and Reformation have been vouchsafed to a people that are in Covenant with God and they corrupt the truth and worship of God the Lord doeth not onely punish degenerate Churches but even
the right foundation of faith hope worship justification as hath been proved lay a wrong foundation they bring in a new Christ a meer man and a new Gospel a new Iudge in the highest matters and mysteries of Religion their own reason which they might infallibly know to be not only fallible but corrupt They deny the true causes and means of salvation the right application of them Their impiety in not worshipping of the Spirit Their Idolatry in worshipping one whom they esteeme to be a meere man and refusing to be washed and purged with the bloud of the Covenant will justifie all that reject them and their Confederates from Christian Communion I am not at leasure to handle the Magistrates duty in this point nor are many of them at leasure to consider all that is fit to be considered in that weighty point but for the present satisfaction of such as know not how to study in these busie times I shall point at some unquestionable truths for the ending of that unhappy and fatall Controversie in the Church of Christ. 1. There is no warrant given in the Word to any Minister of the State or Officer of the Church to molest oppresse or persecute any man for Righteousnesse sake he who doth persecute a man for following his conscience when rightly informed by the Word and Spirit of the Lord Jesus doth certainely persecute the Lord Jesus Christ. Saul Saul why persecutest thou me I am Iesus whom thou persecutest it is a fit Text to be preached on this twenty second of February 1649. But I am now learning another Lesson which is to suffer persecution patiently for righteousnesse sake and pray for such Benefactours who do besides their intention and against their will make Christians happy by endeavouring to make them miserable in their outward man by an unexpected persecution Yet I could not but take notice of the seasonablenesse of this truth and put down the day the moneth and the yeare as the Prophet did Ezek. 8. 1. And it came to passe in the sixth yeare in the sixth moneth in the fifth day of the moneth as I sate in mine house and the Elders of Iudah the Princes of the people sate before me c. The great Statesmen were at leasure now in the time of the Captivity to hear the Prophet if they would have heard beleeved obeyed before they had never gone into Captivity for the misusing of the Prophets and despising of their message was the sin against the most Soveraigne remedy and when there was no other remedy then God sent them away Captive c. 2 Chron. 36. 16 17. Let all such consider this who are poasting on in the high-way to Captivity 2. No man ought to be punished for following his mis-informed conscience untill he hath been better informed and spiritually admonished as we have formerly shewn twice or thrice and is so unconscionable as to despise good information reject prudent and faithful admonitions contrary to the doctrine of godliness and all good conscience for of such a man the Apostle saith not only that he is perverted but he is subverted Tit. 3. 10. 3. The Ministers of God the Civill Magistrates and the Ministers of Christ and all Church-Officers whatsoever must joyne together and uphold one another in the discharge of their several duties that they may be in a capacity to revenge all disobedience and execute the judgement that is written Rom. 13. 4. 2 Cor. 10. 6. I Cor. 4. 21. Deut. 13. 10 11. 4. Heretical Seducers Blasphemous Apostates and Idolatours of whom we have discoursed at large are Wolves that subvert whole houses Tit. 1. 11. Churches Gal. 5. 10 12. Act. 15. 24. States and Kingdomes and therefore they must be driven from the sheepfold lest the very vitals of Christianity be corrupted Religion destroyed many soules poysoned God extremely dishonoured the Church and State endangered as is fully declared unto us in the holy Scriptures of truth 5. God doth work by these Legal terrours and executions of vengeance sometimes upon the party punished the false Prophet converted by the spirit of God working in this great Ordinance doth in the day of his visitation confesse the justice and charity of those Officers who did stigmatize him with wounds in his hands Zach 13. 6. as M. Cotton doth observe in the ninth Chapter of his Answer to Mr Williams pag. 20 21. Moreover it is most cleare that God doth make use of the Magistrate as his Minister and Instrument for the overawing of the people by inflicting exemplary punishment on such as do speake lies in the name of the Lord blaspheme the name truth person of Christ and seduce or thrust men away from the only true God Father Son and holy Ghost Deut. 13. 6 8 9 10 11. The Morall equity of this Command is very evident for the punishing of such as do entice men from the true Religion because there is a reason given which is of general and perpetual equity Thou shalt stone him Because he hath sought to thrust thee away from Iehovah thy God It is now certainly as great a fault to seduce men from Father Son and holy Ghost nay a greater fault now because it is a sin committed against clearer light And it is of generall and publique concernment to have such great examples made in a nation to make the generality of men affected with an awfull regard of the truth goodnesse Majesty and Justice of God For this is Gods ordinance to strike the people with such a reverence as shall at least restraine them from this sin And all Israel shall heare and feare and shall do no more any such wickedness Deut. 13. 11. The Lord is acquainted with the frame of our hearts and spirits and he doth propound such remedies as are proper suitable to our distempers and he who doth ordaine such remedies will make them effectual by his own Spirit who doth often sanctifie legal terrours and outward afflictions and makes them subservient to spiritual purposes and therefore these outward weapons are spiritually used and are of a spiritual efficacy according to the Counsell of Gods will When the Magistrate as a Minister of God draws the Sword in the cause of God for the honour of God according to the Ordinance of God expressed in the thirteenth of Deuteronomy compared with the thirteenth of Zachary and the thirteenth to the Romanes the Sword that is thus drawn is not the Sword of Gideon only the Sword of man but the Sword of God And it is certainly most proper to restraine them by the Sword who will not be restrained by any other Ordinance of God men that have seared consciences have strong passions and exemplary punishments will work effectually upon the passion of feare in a self condemned man when no spiritual Physick will work upon him because all wholsome admonitions are rejected by him Carnall men are ready to
Civill states Princes and People for this Spiritual Pollution The Turke was let loose from the River Euphrates to punish the worshippers of Imamages Rev. 9. 14. 20. The flourishing of Religion is the flourishing of the Civill state and the decay of Religion the decay and ruine of the Civil state according to the ordinary dispensations of God When Christ had rode through the Roman state on the white horse of his Gospel of grace and was rejected then followed the Red horse of Warre the black horse of Famine and the pale horse of Pestilence and other deadly plagues Rev. 6. from the 2. to the 8 vers Can any Christian state hope upon Scripture grounds that it shall enjoy honour health riches peace safety settlement if Faith and Piety be overthrowen by the indulgence of that state if Seducers bee permitted to poyson soules to teach damnable Doctrines and perswade men to deny the Lord that bought them to deny his divine nature and subsistence his Offices and the efficacy of them nay his very Redemption by way of purchase by way of proper and alsufficient satisfaction as the Socimans do The patience and bounty of God acting as it were by Praerogative is gloriously manifested in our dayes but surely no Christian state can be secured by a councell or an army which permits men to live without Christ without God in the world without any spirituall communion with God in his Coeternall Son by his Coessentiall Spirit Woe be to us if we neglect so great Salvation as is yet offered to us in this day of Grace XV. The Church as a Church hath no sword it doth therefore belong to the Magistrate to smite with the sword but the Church may exhort the Magistrate to doe his duty 1 Kings 18. 40. XVI We must distinguish between Christian Forbearance vouchsafed to weak Brethren that they may live quietly in all godlinesse and honesty and Antichristian indulgence extended to blasphemous Heretikes and seducing Apostates that they may live quietly in all ungodlinesse and dishonesty to the infection and seduction of others The Kings shall bee rewarded for burning and God praised for judging the seducing whore But judicious Mr. Cotton is afraid that the Antichristian Whore will steale in at the Back-doore of a Toleration XVII Gospel-dispensations are as spirituall for the conversion of Sorcerers Adulterers Murtherers as for recovery of blasphemous Heretiks and seducing Apostates and therefore they who plead for the Toleration of these obstinate persons in hope of their conversion doe indeed proclaime a generall pardon for all malefactours save such only as sin against the Holy Ghost XVIII They who permit men to deny supernaturall Principles do permit them to overthrow the Gospel which is not writen in our hearts by nature as the Law is And yet it should be considered that they who deny the Gospel do consequently sin against the light of nature because they make God a liar by rejecting the testimony of G●d concerning his Son 1. Ioh. 5. 10. They who did seduce men from the beliefe and worship of God as revealed in the Old Testament were to die the death and yet the Old Testament is as divine and supernaturall a Revelation as the New Testament it self And it is cleare that God did reveale himselfe in Christ even in the Old Testament for there is much Gospell in the Law and the Prophets because all the Law and the Prophets bare witnesse of Christ and Moses saith our Saviour wrote of me If then there be an indulgence granted to such as deny supernaturall truths men may overthrow both the Old and New Testament and be Antiscripturists without controule nay it wil if this absurdity be granted clearly follow that the Magistrate may punish such severely who deny the truths which are wrote in Aristotle but must not touch them who deny all the supernaturall mysteries of Faith Written in the Book of God Blush ye Heavens and be ashamed O Earth at the Atheisticall libertinisme of this licentious age Seducers who did thrust men out of the way which the Lord commanded them by his written word to walk in were put to death Deut. 13. 5 10. though they were directed by a supernaturall Revelation to walk in that way Reverend Mr. Burroughs doeth often acknowledge in his Irenicum that such as professe Christianity are justly punished for sinning against the common light of Christianity For it is not conscience but the Devil in the conscience which moves Christians to maintaine errours against the light of Christianity errours that are destructive to the Christian Religion and if any man hath a minde to be an Advocate for the Devil I dare not be an Advocate for him only I desire him to beware how he hearkens to the Divell in Samuels mantle and beseech him to cry mightily to him who alone can cast out Devills to cast the Devil out of his conscience place himself there as on a Throne that he may rule the conscience and command the whole man by his Word Spirit XIX He that by seducing seeks to thrust men away from the beleife and worship of the only true God Father Son and Holy Ghost doth deserve to be punished for his very attempt and endeavour to subvert soules though he doth not prevaile with one soule to depart from God Because he hath sought to thrust thee away from Jehovah thy God Deut. 13. 10. The very murtherous attempt of killing a soule by abusing an Ordinance of God corrupting of Religion telling lyes in the name of the Lord fathering our own damnable lyes upon the holy ●pirit is a Capitall crime XX. Christians are in a worse condition then the Jewes were if men may seduce our wives and children into such opinions and practices as will certainly undoe their souls to all eternity and wee must onely intreat them not to seduce our friends to Hell and the Christian Magistrate hath no power to punish these Soule murthering seducers This argument is affectionately pressed by sweet Mr. Burroughs in his book of Heart divisions pag. 23. 24. I have much more to deliver upon this weighty point but I remember what Hugo said That it is best at some time to say nothing at every time to say enough but at no time to say all 6 MA 50 FINIS Tertul.
