have_v god_n for_o their_o author_n and_o truth_n for_o their_o standard_n and_o how_o much_o soever_o the_o great_a part_n of_o mankind_n may_v be_v expose_v by_o the_o force_n which_o be_v use_v to_o make_v they_o hearken_v to_o the_o information_n and_o instruction_n of_o man_n appoint_v to_o it_o by_o the_o magistrate_n or_o those_o of_o his_o religion_n to_o be_v lead_v into_o falsehood_n

nevertheless_o that_o convenient_a force_n use_v to_o bring_v man_n to_o the_o true_a religion_n which_o be_v all_o that_o i_o contend_v for_o and_o all_o that_o i_o allow_v may_v be_v very_o

that_o which_o i_o mean_v by_o do_v service_n indirect_o and_o at_o a_o distance_n towards_o the_o bring_n man_n to_o the_o true_a religion_n and_o so_o to_o salvation_n you_o may_v therefore_o for_o

soever_o you_o tell_v ●e_a that_o it_o amount_v but_o to_o the_o shadow_n and_o possibility_n of_o usefulness_n but_o with_o a_o overbalance_a weight_n of_o mischief_n and_o harm_n annex_v to_o it_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v sufficient_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o instead_o of_o prove_v this_o you_o have_v only_o trifle_v hitherto_o and_o say_v nothing_o at_o all_o against_o my_o assertion_n have_v thus_o as_o you_o imagine_v or_o to_o speak_v more_o proper_o perhaps_o as_o you_o will_v have_v it_o think_v destroy_v the_o usefulness_n of_o force_n which_o i_o have_v assert_v you_o go_v on_o to_o new_a matter_n of_o triumph_n but_o suppose_v 17._o say_v you_o force_v apply_v your_o way_n be_v as_o useful_a for_o the_o promote_a true_a religion_n as_o i_o suppose_v i_o have_v show_v it_o to_o be_v ●he_v contrary_a it_o do_v not_o from_o thence_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v lawful_a and_o may_v be_v use_v by_o your_o savour_n sir_n i_o think_v it_o do_v follow_v from_o thence_o that_o force_n be_v not_o therefore_o unlawful_a to_o be_v use_v because_o it_o be_v utter_o useless_a or_o absolute_o impertinent_a which_o be_v all_o that_o i_o be_v to_o show_v against_o our_o author_n that_o be_v all_o in_o effect_n that_o he_o say_v to_o prove_v the_o unlawfulness_n of_o use_v force_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n as_o have_v already_o be_v make_v appear_v against_o all_o that_o you_o say_v to_o the_o contrary_n but_o as_o to_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o such_o force_n as_o i_o take_v to_o be_v useful_a for_o the_o promote_a the_o true_a religion_n i_o must_v again_o put_v you_o in_o mind_n that_o i_o do_v not_o ground_v it_o upon_o the_o bare_a usefulness_n of_o such_o force_n but_o upon_o the_o necessity_n as_o well_o as_o usefulness_n of_o it_o as_o any_o man_n must_v acknowledge_v that_o read_v my_o answer_n where_o as_o i_o show_v at_o large_a that_o force_n be_v general_o necessary_a to_o bring_v those_o tha●_n wander_v to_o the_o right_a way_n 6._o so_o i_o express_o declare_v that_o i_o look_v upon_o outward_a force_n to_o be_v no_o fit_a mean_n to_o be_v use_v either_o for_o that_o purpose_n or_o for_o any_o other_o where_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a as_o well_o as_o useful_a and_o therefore_o how_o useful_a soever_o you_o may_v suppose_v it_o in_o a_o parish_n that_o have_v no_o teacher_n 17._o or_o as_o bad_a as_o none_o that_o a_o layman_n that_o want_v not_o ability_n for_o it_o shall_v sometime_o preach_v to_o they_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n etc._n etc._n yet_o unless_o you_o suppose_v it_o necessary_a withal_o it_o will_v not_o serve_v your_o purpose_n and_o that_o you_o can_v suppose_v it_o necessary_a be_v evident_a because_o any_o such_o parish_n may_v quick_o have_v redress_n if_o they_o will_v but_o seek_v it_o whether_o i_o have_v right_o frame_v the_o author_n argument_n or_o not_o have_v already_o be_v consider_v 18._o you_o say_v further_o as_o force_v apply_v your_o way_n be_v apt_a to_o make_v the_o inconsiderate_a consider_v so_o force_v apply_v another_o way_n be_v as_o apt_a to_o make_v the_o lascivious_a chaste_a etc._n etc._n thus_o you_o see_v castration_n may_v indirect_o and_o at_o a_o distance_n be_v serviceable_a towards_o the_o salvation_n of_o man_n soul_n but_o will_v you_o say_v from_o such_o a●_n usefulness_n as_o this_o that_o therefore_o the_o magistrate_n have_v a_o right_a to_o do_v it_o and_o may_v by_o force_n make_v his_o subject_n eunuch_n for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n where_o again_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o unless_o you_o will_v say_v castration_n be_v necessary_a as_o well_o as_o apt_a to_o make_v the_o lascivious_a chaste_a this_o will_v afford_v you_o no_o advantage_n now_o i_o suppose_v you_o will_v not_o say_v castration_n be_v necessary_a because_o i_o hope_v you_o acknowledge_v that_o marriage_n and_o that_o grace_n which_o god_n deny_v to_o none_o who_o serious_o ask_v it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o that_o purpose_n but_o however_o this_o be_v not_o a_o like_a case_n for_o if_o castration_n make_v any_o lascivious_a person_n chaste_a it_o do_v it_o by_o take_v away_o the_o part_n upon_o which_o the_o power_n of_o offend_v depend_v whereas_o the_o force_n which_o i_o think_v may_v be_v use_v in_o order_n to_o the_o ●uring_a man_n of_o destructive_a error_n concern_v the_o way_n of_o salvation_n do_v not_o destroy_v the_o possibility_n of_o err_a by_o take_v away_o or_o any_o way_n disable_n the_o offend_a part_n but_o leave_v man_n brain_n safe_a in_o their_o skull_n indeed_o if_o i_o have_v say_v that_o to_o cure_v man_n of_o damnable_a or_o dangerous_a error_n it_o be_v useful_a to_o knock_v out_o their_o brain_n the_o case_n have_v be_v exact_o parallel_n as_o far_o as_o usefulness_n go_v but_o since_o i_o say_v no_o such_o thing_n i_o hope_v no_o man_n that_o have_v any_o brain_n will_v say_v it_o be_v you_o add_v 18._o it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o magistrate_n or_o any_o body_n else_o upon_o a_o imagination_n of_o its_o usefulness_n to_o make_v use_n of_o any_o other_o mean_n for_o the_o salvation_n of_o man_n soul_n than_o what_o the_o author_n and_o finisher_n of_o our_o faith_n have_v direct_v which_o how_o true_a soever_o be_v not_o i_o think_v very_o much_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o if_o the_o magistrate_n do_v only_o assist_v that_o ministry_n which_o our_o lord_n have_v appoint_v by_o use_v so_o much_o of_o his_o coactive_a power_n for_o the_o further_a their_o service_n as_o common_a experience_n discover_v to_o be_v useful_a and_o necessary_a for_o that_o end_n there_o be_v no_o manner_n of_o ground_n to_o say_v that_o upon_o a_o imagination_n of_o its_o usefulness_n he_o make_v use_v of_o any_o other_o mean_n for_o the_o salvation_n of_o man_n soul_n than_o what_o the_o author_n and_o finisher_n of_o our_o faith_n have_v direct_v it_o be_v true_a indeed_o the_o author_n and_o finisher_n of_o our_o faith_n have_v give_v the_o magistrate_n no_o new_a

of_o nature_n the_o minister_n of_o god_n to_o the_o people_n for_o good_a and_o bear_v the_o sword_n not_o in_o vain_a i.e._n invest_v with_o coactive_a power_n and_o oblige_v to_o use_v it_o for_o all_o the_o good_a purpose_n which_o it_o may_v serve_v and_o for_o which_o it_o shall_v be_v ●ound_v needful_a even_o for_o the_o restrain_v of_o false_a and_o corrupt_a religion_n as_o job_n long_v

their_o spiritual_a and_o eternal_a good_a by_o such_o mean_n as_o their_o several_a place_n and_o relation_n enable_v they_o to_o use_v so_o do_v it_o especial_o oblige_v the_o magistrate_n to_o do_v

that_o i_o be_o mistake_v dives_fw-la thought_n say_v you_o and_o so_o perhaps_o shall_v you_o and_o i_o too_o if_o not_o better_o inform_v by_o the_o scripture_n that_o it_o will_v be_v useful_a to_o

the_o purpose_n for_o which_o i_o affirm_v it_o to_o be_v so_o you_o go_v on_o 19_o if_o what_o we_o be_v apt_a to_o think_v useful_a be_v thence_o to_o be_v conclude_v so_o we_o shall_v i_o fear_v

to_o promote_v the_o true_a religion_n you_o can_v conclude_v that_o he_o do_v not_o think_v they_o useful_a now_o but_o only_o that_o he_o do_v not_o think_v they_o necessary_a and_o therefore_o
