A85407	Peace protected, and discontent dis-armed. Wherein the seventeen queries (with the addition of three more, postscript-wise) lately published, partly to allay the discontents of some about the late revolution of government, but more especially to guide every mans feet into the way of peace, as well his own, as the publique, are reinforced with replies unto, and animadversions upon, such answers, which some (it seems) have given unto them, to invalidate their purport and intent. Together with four new queries superadded. By the author of the said seventeen queries.	Goodwin, John, 1594?-1665.; Goodwin, John, 1594?-1665.	1654 (1654)	Wing G1188; Thomason E732_27; ESTC R202310	55,941	80

15._o to_o this_o query_n this_o answer_n tripartite_a be_v give_v 1._o it_o be_v better_a to_o try_v the_o spirit_n then_o by_o query_v of_o what_o spirit_n some_o be_v of_o to_o gratify_v the_o carnal_a world_n who_o be_v always_o answer_n ready_a to_o reject_v that_o spirit_n which_o be_v of_o god_n 2._o to_o reprove_v the_o sin_n of_o government_n be_v not_o to_o despise_v government_n

1._o that_o the_o main_a design_n animadver._n of_o the_o query_n both_o divisim_fw-la and_o conjunctim_fw-la be_v to_o try_v spirit_n and_o to_o discover_v who_o be_v the_o person_n that_o in_o

the_o world_n therefore_o if_o the_o try_n of_o spirit_n be_v so_o commendable_a a_o work_n the_o answerer_n have_v no_o cause_n ●o_z blame_n the_o query_n at_o least_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o

spirit_n be_v of_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v of_o god_n 3._o nor_o be_v it_o always_o or_o universal_o true_a that_o the_o carnal_a world_n be_v ready_a to_o reject_v that_o spirit_n which_o be_v of_o god_n if_o by_o carnal_a world_n be_v mean_v all_o person_n at_o present_a unregenerate_a for_o how_o then_o shall_v the_o world_n in_o any_o part_n of_o it_o become_v regenerate_v doubtless_o no_o man_n become_v regenerate_v by_o reject_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n nor_o by_o a_o readiness_n to_o reject_v it_o no_o nor_o while_o either_o of_o these_o be_v find_v in_o they_o but_o this_o

a_o little_a explication_n will_v strengthen_v the_o claim_n of_o it_o to_o this_o honour_n to_o reprove_v the_o sin_n of_o government_n with_o a_o christian_a gravity_n and_o with_o a_o discovery_n of_o a_o honourable_a esteem_n of_o that_o government_n itself_o the_o sin_n of_o which_o we_o reprove_v be_v not_o to_o despise_v the_o government_n but_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o easy_a
