Melius est cum severitate diligere , quam cum lenitate decipere : Si quisquam Inimicum poriculosis febribus phreneticum factum currere videret in praeceps , nonne tunc potius malum pro malo redderet , si sic eum ire permitteret , quam si corripiendum ligandumque cur aret ? Et tamen tunc ei molestissimus & avertissimus videretur , quando utilissimus et misericordissimus extit isset ? Sed planè salute reparata , tanto ei uberius gracias ageret , quando minus sibi pepercisse sensisset . Donatistae nimium sunt inquieti , quos per ordinatas a Deo potestates singulares , cohiberi atque corrigi , mihi non videtur inutile ; nam de multorum jam correctione gaudemus .

Thou shalt not live , for thou speakest Lyes in the name of the Lord : and his Father and Mother , shall thrust him through when he prophesieth .
Levit. 24. 16.
He that blasphemeth the Name of the Lord , shall surely be put to death ; and all the Congregation shall certainly stone him : as well the stranger , as he that is born in the Land , when he blasphemeth the Name of the Lord , shall be put to death .
Dan. 3. 29.
Therefore I make a Decree , that every People , Nation , and Language , that speak any thing amisse against the God of Shadrach , Meshach and Abednego , shall be cut in peeces , and their Houses shall be made a dung-hill .
Rev. 17. 16.
The ten hornes which thou sawest upon the beast , are ten Kings , these shall hate the Whore , and shall make her desolate and naked , and shall eate her flesh , and burn her with fire .

erected

of

,
as
his
god
,
which
he
made
choyce
of
for
him
and
all
his
people
to
worship
,
he
made
a
publike
Proclamation
by
an
Herald
,
that
all
people
,
nations
,
and
languages
assembled
to
its
dedication
,
should
fall
down
and
worship
this
golden
Image
,
Shadrach
,
Meshach
,
and
Abednego
were
cast
into
his
furnace
and
dispossessed
the
damosel
there
possessed
with
the
spirit
of
divination
,
rose
up
against
and
caught
and
brought
them
to
the
Magistrate
,
saying
;
These
men
being
Jews
do
exceedingly
trouble
our
City
,
and
teach
customes
which
are
not
lawful
for
us
to
receive
nor
observe
,
being
Romans
:
whereupon
the
Magistrates
rent
their
clothes
and
commanded
to
beat
them
,
and
when
they
had
layd
many
stripes
upon
them
,
they
cast
them
into
prison
,
charging
the
goaler
to
keep
them
safely
;
who
having
received
such
a
charge
,
cast
them
into
the
inner
prison
,
and
made
their
feet
fast
in
the
stocks
:
who
made
shrines
for
Diana
,
stirred
up
the
people
at
Ephesus
against
Paul
and
his
Associates
by
these
speeches
.
Moreover
ye
see
and
hear
,
that
not
alone
at
Ephesus
but
almost
throughout
all
Asia
;
this
Paul
hath
perswaded
and
turned
away
many
people
,
saying
,
that
they
be
no
gods
which
are
made
with
hands
;
So
that
no
only
our
craft
is
endangered
to
be
set
at
naught
,
but
also
that
the
Temple
of
the
great
goddesse
Diana
should
be
despised
,
AND
HER
MAGNIFICENCE
SHOVLD
BE
DESTROYED
,
whom
all
Asia
and
the
world
worshippeth
.
And
when
they
heard
these
sayings
,
they
were
full
of
wrath
,
and
cryed
out
,
saying
,
Great
is
Diana
of
the
Ephesians
;
And
the
whole
City
was
filled
with
confusion
;
and
having
caught
Gaius
and
Aristarchus
,
Pauls
companions
in
travel
,
they
rushed
with
one
accord
into
the
Theatre
,
(
and
no
doubt
would
have
murdered
them
,
and
Paul
too
,
could
they
have
caught
him
)
as
of
their
Goddesse
,
had
not
the
Town-Clerk
appeased
the
multitude
,
and
told
them
,
the
matter
should
be
dee●rmined
in
a
lawful
assembly
:
the
Jews
,
out
of
their
blind
zeal
,
stoned
as
an
Heretick
and
false
Teacher
,
for
reproving
them
,
for
persecuting
and
slaying
the
Prophets
,
who
had
shewed
before
of
the
comming
of
the
Holy
One
;
of
whom
they
had
been
the
betrayers
and
murderers
,
made
havock
of
the
Church
,
entring
into
every
house
and
hailing
men
and
women
,
committed
them
to
prison
:
And
yet
breathing
out
threatnings
and
flaughters
against
the
Disciples
of
the
Lord
,
he
desired
letters
of
the
High
Priest
to
Damascus
,
to
the
Synagogues
,
that
if
he
found
any
of
this
way
man
or
woman
,
he
did
shut
up
many
of
the
Saincts
in
prison
,
and
when
they
were
put
to
death
,
gave
his
voyce
against
them
,
and
punished
them
oft
in
every
Synagogue
,
stirred
up
all
the
people
and
laid
hands
on
him
,
crying
out
,
Men

;
and
farther
,
brought

into
the

,
and
hath
polluted
the
holy
place
;
And
all
the
City
was
moved
;
and
the
people
ran
together
,
and
they
took
Paul
and
drew
him
out
of
the
Temple
and
beat
him
;
And
as
they
were
about
to
kill
him
,
tydings
came
unto
the
chief
Captain
of
the
band
,
that
all
Jerusalem
was
in
an
uproar
:
who
immediately
took
Souldiers
and
Centurions
and
ran
down
,
and
took
Paul
and
commanded
him
to
be
bound
with
two
chains
,
and
brought
him
into
the
Castle
;
After
which
he
was
brought
before
the
Councel
,
accused
before
Felix
by
the
Iews
and
Tertullus
,
for
a
mover
of
sedition
among
the
Jews
throughout
the
world
,
and
a
ring-leader
of
the
Sect
of
the
Nazarens
,
whom
they
took
and
would
have
judged
according
to
their
law
,
but
that
the
chief
Captain
Lysias
rescued
him
out
of
their
hands
,
after
the
way
which
they
called
HERESY

the
King
stretched
out
his

to
vex

of

KILLED

Notwithstanding

whether

For
the

For

in

his

Du●y
consisteth

;
To
d●s●nd
Religion
from
all

,
and
to
promote
and
put
it

as
much
as
in
him
lieth

and
to
judge
the
people
according

,
and
to
punish
the
Offenders
according
to
the
quantity
of
the
fault
,
in
their
Riches
,
Body
or
Life
:
Which
things
when
he
doth
,
he
performeth
a
due
worship
or
service
to
God
.
The
Magistrates
chiefest
duty
is
,
to
procure
and
maintaine
peace
and
publick
tranquility
,
which
doubtl●sse
he
shall
never
doe
more
happily
,
then
when
he
shall
after
the
example
of
most
holy
Kings
and
Princes
of
the
people
of
the
Lord
,
advance
the
preaching
of
the

,
and
all
Superstition
,
with
all
Impiety
and

,
and
shall
defend
the
Church
of

:
For
indeed
we
teach
,
that
the
care
of
Religion
doth
chiefly
appertaine
to
the
holy
Magistrate
;
let
him
therefore
hold
the
Word
of
God
in
his
hands
,
and
LOOK
,
THAT
NOTHING
BE
TAVGHT
CONTRARY
THEREVNTO
:
Let
him
draw
forth
the
Sword

against

persons
,

,

,
Oppressors

hath

him
to
punish

execute
;
LET
HIM
SVPPRESSE
STVBBORNE
HERETICKS
,
(
which
are
Hereticks
indeed
)
who
cease
not
TO
BLASPHEME
the
Majesty
of
God
,
and
to
trouble
the
Church
,
yea
and
finally
to
destroy
it
.
We
condemne
the
ANABAPTISTS
,
who
deny
,
that
any
man
can
justly
be
put
to
death
by
the
Magistrate
,
&c.
That
God
hath
therefore
delivered
the
Sword
into
the
hands
of
the
Magistrates
,
that
Offences
may
be
punished
;
not
onely
those
which
are
committed
against
the
second
Table
,
but
also
against
the
first
,
&c.
That
it
is
the
duty
of
Kings
,
Princes
and
Magistrates
,
to
endeavour
,
that
the
Ministry
may
be
preserved
,
that
all
Idolatry

abolished

that

troublesome

which
reject

We
teach
,
that
christian
Magistrates
ought
to
take
speciall
care
,
that
the
pure
and
sincere
worship
of
God
may
flourish
,
and
that
they
should
with
capitall
punishment
,
if
the
necessity
and
the
greatnesse
of
the
crime
so
require
,
rather
then
the
Church
should
receive
any
dammage
:

yet

under
the

Princes
ought
not
onely
to
take
care
about
the
affaires
of
the
common-wealth
,
and
to
be
altogether
carelesse
of
Religion
,
but
even
unto
Ecclesiasticall
affaires
,
and
matters
of
Religion
,
they
ought
to
extend
their
Princely
care
and
watchfulnesse
.
First
,
the
Prince
is
the
Minister
of
God
for
our
good
;
but
the
good
of
the
Subject
is
not
onely
civill
and
temporall
,
but
spirituall
concerning
Religion
.
Secondly
,
Even
the
Heathen
did
ascribe
unto
their
Kings
a
principal
care
even
of
Religion
:
Wherupon
the
Emperors
of
were
stiled
the
high
Priests
or
Prelates
:
and
writeth
,
lib.
politic
.
c.
that
the
Lacedemonian
Kings
had
the
command
of
War
,
and
and
did
exercise
divine
worship
,
unlesse
they
were
such
Sacrifices
as
were
necessarily
to
be
done
by
a
Priest
;
that
therefore
which
by
a
common
consent
of
Nations
was
given
unto
Kings
,
ought
not
to
be
denied
unto
christian
Princes
.
Thirdly
,
the
care
of
Religion
otherwise
concerneth
the
Prince
,
rather
then
private
persons
:
these
onely
are
to
wish
well
unto
it
,
and
to
accept
of
it
;
but
the
Prince
ought
to
be
an
Agent
,
without
whose
power
nothing
can
be
effected
publickly
for
the
maintainance
of
Religion
.
Secondly
,
it
belongeth
to
the
Imperial
power
to
maintain
true
Religion
,
and
see
that
no
confused
mixture
of
Religions
be
admitted
,
for
this
is
given
as
a
reason
in
the
time
of
the
Judges
,
why
some
followed
Idolatry
and
strange
worship
,
because
there
was
no
King
in
Israel
,
but
every
one
did
that
which
was
good
in
his
owne
eyes
,
if
there
had
been
then
a
King
,
they
should
not
have
been
suffered
every
one
to
follow
their
owne
fansies
.
Thirdly
,
Christian
Princes
are
by
their
Lawes
and
Edicts
,
to
restraine
all
Blasphemy
,
Idolatry
,
Heresie
,
Sacriledge
,
and
such
like
,
because
Princes
are
to
be
feared
for
evill
works
;
their
office
is
to
restrain
all
evill
works
whatsoever
,
such
as
these
are
;
and
they
are
appointed
to
procure
the
good
of
their
Subjects
,
and
consequently
to
take
out
of
the
way
all
impediments
which
may
hinder
their
good
,
such
as
these
are
:
The
Romanists
grant
thus
much
,
that
the
Princes
by
their
Lawes
should
provide
against
Heresie
,

Samuel
Rutherfurd
Due
Right
of
Presbyteries
Whether
the
Magistrate
hath
power
to
compell
persons
to
a
Church-profession
?
The
Magistrate
may
compell
to
the
meanes
and
externall
acts
of
worship
,
and
to
restraine
them
from
externall
false
worship
of
the
false
God
,
or
of
the
true
God
worshiped
in
a
false
way
;
he
cannot
compell
to
internall
acts
of
faith
,
love
,
and
such
like
,
as
hauing
no
power
over
the
conscience
.
There
is
one
consideration
of
a
Heathen
or
Pagan
Nation
,
which
never
received
Christianity
,
and
the
true
Faith
;
and
another
consideration
of
a
Nation
Baptized
and
professing
Christ
.
A
Magistrate
may
compell
a
Heathen
Nation
to
the
negative
reverence
of
Christ
,
in
an
indirect
way
,
and
that
with
the
Sword
,
though
he
cannot
compell
to
the
positive
worshipping
of
him
:
If
a
Christian
Prince
subdue
a
Pagan
Nation
,
he
cannot
force
them
with
the
Sword
to
a
positive
receiving
of
the
Doctrine
of
the
Gospel
,
but
if
it
be
a
Nation
expresly
blaspeming
Christ
,
as
the
Nation
of
the
Jewes
now
doe
,
he
may
compell
them
to
an
abstinence
from
a
professed
blaspheming
of
Christ
,
because
he
is
to
use
the
sword
against
Blaspemy
.
The
compeling
power
of
the
Magistrate
is
terminated
upon
externall
worship
,
as
abstracted
from
either
hypocrisie
or
sincerity
in
worship
.
Though
no
man
resist
the
Magistrate
in
a
matter
of
Religion
,
except
in
a
hypocriticall
way
,
save
onely
he
who
thinketh
he
hath
reason
to
resist
,
and
is
led
by
the
judgment
and
inditement
of
conscience
,
yet
is
not
the
judgment
of
conscience
,
but
onely
the
Word
of
God
the
rule
of
mans
obedience
,
or
resisting
in
action
,
purposes
and
conversation

power
is
very
dangerous
for
a
Magistrate
to
owne
;
in
the
exercise
whereof
,
he
may
very
easily
(

(

such
a
power
in

directly
tends

all

this

it

in
the

plainly

undoubtedly
tends
to
the
gratification
of
Satan

of

men
,
is
not
certainly
derived
from
God
:
But
that
power
in

of
Religion
to
crush
Heresies
,
Schismes
,
&c.
which
and
many
others
pinned
upon
the
Magistrates
sleeve
,
is
a
power
of
this
tendency
and
importance
in
the
use
of
it
:
The
latter
proposition
shines
cleere
enough
with
its
owne
light
;
first
,
because
a
very
great
part
of
those
who
are
like
to
suffer
by
it
,
are
men
of
good
conscience
,
and
men
truly
fearing
God
;
it
not
being
likely
,
that
ordinarily
men
of
loose
or
no
conscience
should
delight
to
swim
against
the
streames
either
of
greatnesse
or
plurality
in
matters
of
Religion
:
therfore
it
cannot
but
be
conceived
a
matter
of
solemn
gratification
to
Satan
,
who
is
a
Murderer
and
bloody
Enemy
to
the
Saints
,
to
see
them
disgraced
,
crushed
,
&c.
Secondly
,
because
it
is
the
impatient
and
important
desire
of
all
ignorant
,
loose
,
luckewarme
and

,
to
have

which

wherewith

faine

The
truth
of
the

appears
in
this
consideration
;
when
the
conscience
of
a
man
hath
once
broke
the
bounds
and
tye
of
its
owne
light
,
and
prosti●u●ed
it selfe
to
the

against
the
J.

graine
of
its
owne
judgment
and

(
whereunto
it
is

)
when
a

is
threatned
deep
,
in
case
he
shall
not
comply
with
the

,
his
judgment
and
con●cience
being
wholly
averse
to
it
,
one
of
these
great
evils
commonly
befals
him
:
First
,
God
takes
no
pleasure
in
such
a

;
afterwards
,
he
withdraweth
himselfe
from
it

it

Quidigitur hîc faciat Ecclesiae medicina salutem omnium materna charitate conquirens , tanquam inter Phreneticos & Lethargicos aestuans ? Nunquid contemnere , nunquid desistere vel debel , vel potest ? Vtrinsque sit , necesse est molesta , quia neu●r●s est inimica . Nam & Phrenetici nolunt ligari , & Lethargici nolunt excitari : sed perseverat diligentia charitatis , Phreneticum castigare , Lethargicum stimulare ambos amare . Ambo offenduntur , sed ambo diliguntur ; ambo molestati , quamdiu aegri sunt , indignantur , sed ambo sanati gratulantur .
