short_a discourse_n only_o touch_v at_o some_o few_o thing_n in_o order_n thereunto_o and_o the_o first_o thing_n that_o i_o shall_v humble_o present_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o protestant_a church_n both_o at_o home_n and_o abroad_o be_v that_o as_o the_o business_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v now_o a_o thing_n not_o capable_a to_o be_v separate_v from_o a_o affair_n of_o state_n so_o consider_v as_o such_o it_o be_v far_o more_o difficult_a for_o a_o protestant_a prince_n upon_o some_o account_n to_o govern_v it_o than_o for_o a_o popish_a prince_n and_o that_o for_o the_o follow_a reason_n which_o difficulty_n when_o the_o reason_n be_v consider_v may_v easy_o be_v remedy_v according_a to_o that_o maxim_n take_v away_o the_o cause_n and_o the_o effect_n cease_v the_o reason_n or_o cause_n of_o this_o difficulty_n i_o shall_v here_o therefore_o endeavour_v to_o lay_v open_a and_o to_o manifest_v with_o all_o plainness_n and_o clearness_n i_o say_v therefore_o that_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o difficulty_n be_v because_o the_o prince_n have_v the_o character_n or_o repute_v only_o of_o a_o secular_a authority_n have_v not_o that_o immediate_a influence_n upon_o religion_n itself_o or_o upon_o religious_a people_n which_o the_o clergy_n have_v for_o as_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v expect_v that_o a_o prince_n shall_v have_v that_o knowledge_n so_o neither_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v any_o way_n so_o conversant_a in_o or_o so_o attendant_a upon_o the_o affair_n controversy_n and_o dispute_n which_o do_v relate_v to_o religion_n as_o the_o clergy_n may_v and_o by_o reason_n of_o this_o though_o a_o prince_n may_v in_o other_o thing_n have_v never_o so_o great_a a_o ability_n of_o judgement_n and_o though_o he_o be_v never_o so_o absolute_a or_o supreme_a yet_o he_o be_v deny_v the_o right_n of_o this_o judgement_n as_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o

upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o all_o person_n as_o protestant_n by_o or_o from_o the_o scripture_n be_v yet_o the_o more_o considerable_a because_o whatever_o worship_n service_n or_o religion_n we_o as_o protestant_n do_v profess_v to_o give_v unto_o god_n we_o profess_v it_o only_o from_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n themselves_o and_o from_o the_o authority_n of_o they_o as_o they_o be_v thus_o own_v and_o profess_v by_o the_o protestant_a church_n to_o be_v our_o supreme_a and_o consequent_o our_o immediate_a tie_n in_o all_o that_o we_o believe_v and_o in_o all_o that_o we_o act_n as_o protestant_n towards_o god_n which_o have_v not_o its_o termination_n in_o or_o its_o dependence_n so_o much_o upon_o man_n or_o upon_o the_o rule_v clergy_n or_o upon_o the_o church_n as_o upon_o the_o scripture_n or_o word_n of_o god_n itself_o we_o judge_v it_o lawful_a enough_o to_o forsake_v the_o church_n when_o we_o once_o judge_v the_o church_n in_o what_o it_o believe_v or_o in_o what_o it_o act_n or_o practise_v towards_o god_n to_o have_v forsake_v his_o word_n and_o our_o profession_n or_o religion_n be_v thus_o found_v i_o mean_v out_o of_o conscience_n pure_o to_o god_n word_n every_o man_n then_o proper_o as_o a_o protestant_n if_o he_o be_v sincere_a do_v as_o much_o believe_v that_o the_o worship_n whatever_o it_o be_v that_o he_o profess_v be_v as_o true_o agreeable_a to_o the_o mind_n and_o will_n of_o god_n as_o be_v the_o very_a scripture_n itself_o and_o consequent_o that_o he_o be_v as_o much_o to_o contend_v for_o the_o say_a worship_n as_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o contend_v for_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n itself_o for_o these_o two_o be_v take_v by_o he_o but_o for_o one_o thing_n viz._n the_o truth_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o truth_n and_o authority_n of_o what_o he_o profess_v consequent_o the_o same_o tie_n that_o bind_v he_o to_o the_o scripture_n must_v of_o necessity_n bound_v he_o to_o that_o religion_n whatever_o it_o be_v which_o he_o as_o a_o protestant_n profess_v unto_o god_n and_o consequent_o if_o there_o be_v no_o tie_n so_o firm_a or_o so_o strong_a upon_o the_o conscience_n as_o that_o of_o the_o divine_a and_o absolute_a authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v there_o can_v be_v no_o tie_n strong_a than_o what_o protestant_n as_o such_o and_o as_o sincere_a must_v

undoubted_a viz._n that_o the_o tie_n and_o obligation_n that_o every_o man_n have_v to_o the_o worship_n which_o he_o profess_v unto_o god_n proper_o as_o a_o protestant_n lie_v in_o and_o rise_v immediate_o from_o the_o scripture_n and_o it_o be_v likewise_o clear_v that_o the_o high_a tie_n which_o can_v possible_o be_v lay_v upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o any_o man_n be_v that_o proceed_n from_o the_o scripture_n as_o they_o be_v the_o only_a rule_n of_o god_n mind_n and_o will_n to_o we_o it_o must_v necessary_o follow_v that_o if_o the_o authority_n of_o man_n can_v neither_o

education_n as_o they_o be_v the_o only_a rule_n of_o god_n mind_n than_o no_o authority_n of_o man_n can_v ever_o possible_o remove_v the_o obedience_n which_o man_n will_v always_o conceive_v themselves_o oblige_v to_o give_v to_o the_o say_a word_n in_o whatever_o it_o be_v they_o apprehend_v it_o do_v clear_o command_v see_v this_o obedience_n be_v look_v upon_o to_o be_v the_o same_o

man_n then_o must_v a_o obligation_n to_o the_o immediate_a law_n and_o will_n of_o god_n be_v always_o preferable_a to_o and_o strong_a than_o any_o obligation_n whatever_o to_o the_o law_n or_o

matter_n of_o worship_n any_o way_n compel_v or_o bind_v man_n to_o obedience_n far_o or_o otherwise_o than_o as_o they_o apprehend_v it_o to_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n or_o to_o the_o law_n of_o his_o word_n then_o neither_o can_v the_o law_n of_o the_o prince_n or_o the_o law_n of_o the_o civil_a government_n bind_v man_n conscience_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o worship_n further_o or_o otherwise_o than_o the_o law_n of_o the_o church_n viz._n no_o otherwise_o than_o as_o the_o say_a law_n shall_v appear_v to_o they_o to_o be_v agreeable_a to_o god_n law_n which_o be_v the_o law_n of_o his_o scripture_n or_o word_n and_o consequent_o it_o can_v never_o be_v avoid_v by_o any_o protestant_a prince_n but_o his_o authority_n as_o relate_v pure_o to_o thing_n civil_a with_o the_o efficacy_n of_o it_o must_v stand_v upon_o one_o rule_n and_o his_o authority_n as_o relate_v to_o thing_n of_o divine_a worship_n with_o the_o efficacy_n of_o it_o must_v necessary_o
