Peter de Moulin, Epist. 36. quotes Beza, saying many things may, yea and must be born with, which are not rightly enjoyned; for spiritual liberty lyeth not in the outward act, but in the intention and belief. If a thing in it self be enjoyned to us, it must neither be obeyed in the act, nor assented to in the understanding and the will. But if the thing be indifferent in it self, and yet seem in the j•dgment inconvenient, we may and must do it, and neither wrong our liberty, nor our conscience; for in such cases our actions are limitted, although our consciences be free; and the superior power may bind us in soro exteriori, and leave us free in soro interiori, wherein Christian liberty lyeth; and cites a place in Calvins Instit. lib. 4. cap 20. Artic. 1. spiritual liberty and political bondage will stand well together — And let not the consequence trouble you, as long as the thing commanded is lawful in it self, we are not answerable of the consequence that may follow, but they who command it. And we who move in the orbe of obedience, must quietly follow the motions of the high•r sphear of authority. To push against it, inconsiderately under pretence of God's service, is dashing the second Table against the first, and breaking both; and cites Beza, Epist. 24. saying, That man abuseth Christian liberty, or rather is sold under sin, who will not with a free will obey in the Lord his Magistrates or Superiors, and seeketh not to edifie the consciences of his Brethren. |
