A45124	The authority of magistrate about religion discussed in a rebuke to the preacher of a late book of Bishop Bramhalls, being a confutation of that mishapen tenent, of the magistrates authority over the conscience in the matters of religion, and better asserting of his authority ecclesiastical, by dividing aright between the use of his sword about religious affairs, and tenderness towards mens consciences : and also for vindication of the grateful receivers of His Majesties late gracious declaration, against his and others aspersions / by J.H.	Humfrey, John, 1621-1719.	1672 (1672)	Wing H3669; ESTC R20217	60,044	138

bear_v shall_v we_o agree_v upon_o this_o if_o we_o shall_v i_o have_v but_o a_o little_a more_o to_o say_v hereunto_o and_o i_o have_v do_v the_o office_n of_o the_o magistrate_n be_v to_o make_v the_o law_n and_o to_o see_v to_o the_o execution_n in_o all_o thing_n as_o well_o religious_a i_o have_v say_v as_o civil_a which_o be_v for_o the_o people_n good_a he_o may_v pass_v and_o execute_v any_o law_n so_o long_o as_o they_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o man_n conscience_n but_o he_o can_v command_v or_o enforce_v nothing_o which_o be_v against_o man_n conscience_n this_o be_v deliver_v already_o those_o thing_n now_o which_o be_v against_o man_n conscience_n let_v we_o consider_v in_o the_o last_o place_n which_o have_v be_v intimate_v also_o from_o one_o or_o two_o occasion_n before_o be_v either_o such_o as_o be_v against_o the_o universality_n or_o against_o so_o many_o of_o their_o conscience_n as_o the_o magistrate_n be_v to_o take_v cognizance_n of_o they_o or_o against_o the_o conscience_n only_o of_o so_o few_o as_o be_v not_o meet_v for_o he_o to_o take_v cognizance_n of_o they_o in_o the_o first_o case_n he_o be_v not_o to_o pass_v such_o a_o law_n i_o count_v upon_o any_o term_n if_o he_o do_v he_o sin_n against_o his_o charge_n and_o he_o have_v no_o authority_n to_o sin_n himself_o or_o cause_v any_o to_o sin_n in_o the_o second_o we_o may_v suppose_v that_o the_o conscience_n of_o a_o few_o particular_a person_n only_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o put_v a_o obstruction_n to_o any_o law_n real_o good_a for_o the_o community_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v account_v for_o the_o universality_n sake_n to_o be_v according_a to_o the_o subject_n conscience_n and_o not_o against_o they_o but_o when_o i_o have_v say_v thus_o as_o to_o the_o pass_v of_o the_o law_n i_o must_v say_v also_o that_o in_o the_o execution_n of_o such_o law_n i_o hold_v that_o even_o those_o particular_a person_n ought_v to_o be_v regard_v in_o order_n hereunto_o there_o be_v some_o that_o pretend_v conscience_n of_o a_o thing_n when_o indeed_o they_o make_v none_o of_o it_o understand_v not_o this_o so_o as_o if_o all_o that_o can_v not_o give_v a_o reason_n sufficient_a for_o what_o they_o hold_v do_v not_o make_v a_o conscience_n of_o it_o which_o have_v cause_n a_o great_a prejudice_n and_o false_a reckon_n of_o this_o business_n but_o when_o they_o believe_v not_o the_o thing_n real_o in_o their_o heart_n to_o be_v so_o as_o they_o pretend_v when_o man_n pretend_v they_o make_v a_o conscience_n of_o a_o thing_n and_o indeed_o do_v not_o i_o will_v have_v the_o magistrate_n above_o all_o man_n to_o execute_v the_o law_n upon_o such_o suppose_v they_o judge_v that_o law_n righteous_a and_o make_v they_o a_o example_n if_o you_o will_v say_v but_o how_o shall_v a_o magistrate_n know_v this_o see_v no_o man_n can_v judge_n of_o another_o heart_n i_o acknowledge_v ready_o this_o be_v a_o difficulty_n and_o the_o chief_a thing_n which_o require_v the_o magistrate_n prudence_n and_o faithfulness_n yet_o this_o i_o say_v that_o every_o man_n for_o all_o that_o be_v judge_n of_o his_o own_o act_n and_o the_o punish_n of_o forbear_v a_o person_n be_v what_o the_o magistrate_n do_v he_o must_v go_v and_o can_v but_o go_v according_a to_o his_o judgement_n he_o use_v the_o medium_n as_o a_o wise_a man_n do_v and_o lawful_o may_v take_v his_o conjecture_n the_o tree_n be_v know_v by_o his_o fruit_n and_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a it_o shall_v be_v certain_a but_o only_o that_o it_o be_v certain_a he_o so_o judge_n and_o if_o he_o be_v convince_v in_o his_o soul_n and_o indeed_o judge_v the_o man_n profession_n only_o to_o be_v pretence_n it_o be_v his_o own_o judgement_n and_o nothing_o else_o can_v determine_v he_o although_o where_o the_o person_n be_v serious_a in_o what_o he_o declare_v and_o not_o under_o any_o public_a note_n of_o perfidiousness_n the_o rule_n of_o charity_n which_o hope_v all_o thing_n and_o believe_v all_o thing_n and_o think_v no_o evil_a must_v incline_v he_o to_o the_o best_a construction_n when_o man_n do_v true_o make_v the_o conscience_n they_o pretend_v let_v the_o justice_n take_v heed_n and_o see_v that_o he_o likewise_o reverence_v conscience_n no_o less_o than_o they_o do_v if_o the_o penalty_n be_v such_o only_a as_o the_o man_n be_v like_a to_o endure_v it_o without_o scruple_n rather_o than_o do_v that_o which_o be_v against_o his_o conscience_n the_o magistrate_n may_v be_v the_o bold_a in_o execute_v that_o law_n upon_o he_o but_o if_o it_o be_v such_o as_o he_o be_v like_a rather_o to_o do_v the_o thing_n against_o his_o conscience_n than_o suffer_v it_o i_o will_v not_o be_v that_o magistrate_n who_o shall_v put_v such_o a_o law_n in_o execution_n upon_o any_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n every_o particular_a man_n for_o himself_o be_v to_o look_v to_o his_o conscience_n as_o his_o judge_n in_o the_o business_n of_o his_o soul_n and_o account_v that_o authority_n void_a to_o he_o whatsoever_o it_o be_v that_o command_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o what_o that_o dictate_v and_o the_o supreme_a authority_n be_v to_o conceive_v that_o those_o that_o act_n under_o it_o will_v use_v prudence_n upon_o that_o account_n which_o prudence_n i_o fear_v i_o real_o in_o this_o case_n can_v hardly_o be_v christian_a but_o it_o must_v
