There is a certain ignoto called, they say, who affirms, that if the Magistrate enjoyns, liberty is lost. And when we reply, grant that and confusion will follow in families, in Kingdoms. To this, this Ignaro answers; in civil and temporal matters the Magistrate may command, and we lawfully obey, not in Ecclesiastical and religious; but alas, this pitiful single umbra either knows not or fo•gets, that the actions of Gods worship are either essential or circumstantial; essential are principal, as piety, holiness, or subordinate, as helps to the better performing and declaring of such worship, as prayer preaching, Sacraments, concerning which we may consider, That they, as prayer, preaching, Sacraments, are necessarily to be performed, because instituted of God. 2. Circumnantia•, which shew the manner how they are to be performed, concerning the place, time, gesture, &c. these are left to the Church, 1 Cor. 11. 24. St. Paul would order such things when he came, and saw what was convenient, Act. 15. 29. the Church then enjoyned things long since abrogated. Titus must order things in Creet, and St. Peter enjoyns, 1 Pet. 2. 13. to submit to every Ordinance of man; submit therefore, honour, pay all duties; to every humane Ordinance, humane because proper to men, and by some humane act, for the Lords sake, namely, under God, of God, from God; to every, to all Governours, good and bad, in all things which do not cross Piety and Religion; our obedience is to go so far as their commission is to command; not to civil causes only, but to religious also; and wherein their precepts may not be followed, our obedience must be passive. But whatsoever lawful thing is appointed by the Church, for order and decency, may with a good conscience, yea ought to be obeyed. |
