Note 0 Though the truth carry its evidence in it self, and the Word of God is greater then all the testimonies of men; yet for their sakes that are weak, I have inserted the judgments of some godly men (as I have accidentally met with them) who have spoken of these things in the spirit; that so you may see the truth though it hath but few followers, yet it hath some. Melancton on Psal. 110. v. 3. — habebis populum, non coactum gladio, sed verbo collectum, & laeto corde amplectentem evangelium, & te sponte celebrantem. Discernit igitur ecclesiam ab imperiis mundanis, & externam servitutem a cultibus cordis accensis voce evangelii & a spiritu sancto. — Ag. Religio cogi non vult, doceri expetit. Immunitate non stabilitur, sed evertitur. Polan. — This Charls to whom Leo gave the title of the most Christian King, was a great conquerer, and overcame many Nations with the sword, and as the Turk compelleth to his faith, so he compelled with Violence to the faith of Christ; but alas the true faith of Christ whereunto the Holy Ghost draws mens hearts, through preaching the Word of truth, he knew not, &c. Tindal. Fides sua sponte non coacte agere vult. Luth. Christus non voluit•vi & igne cogere homines ad fidem. Luth. Haereticos comburere, est contra voluntatem spiritus. Luth. He hath given in the Church the sword of the spirit to inforce with, and not the sword of the Magistrate. Prorsus diversa ratio est regni Christi & mundi. Mundani Magistratus quae volunt imperant, & subditi coguntur obedientiam praestare. At in Regno Christi, quod non est mundana, aut pontificia Dominatio, sed spirituale regnum, nihil simile geritur, sed quivis alterius judex, & quilibet alteri subjectus est. At tyranni & animicidae illi, nihil morantes vocem Christi, regnum meum non est de hoc mundo, ex Ecclesia, Politiam civilem, seu potius pontificium imperium constituerunt. •uth. — Quare ipsam sedem Bestiae nego, nihil moratus sit ne bonus vel malus, qui in ea se det. Sedes inquam quae sit super omnes sedes nulla est in Ecclesia super terram jure divino, sed omnes sunt aequales, quia una fides, unum baptisma; unus Christus, &c. Luth. Where there is no worldly superiority over one another, there is no worldly compulsion. of one another. In the naturall body, there is no convocation of many members to govern one, or of more members to govern fewer, but the foot performes its office without being under the authoritative power of the hands, yea each member performs its office aright, without being in subordination to another, by the guidance of that head to which it is united, and of that Spirit that dwels in it; each member having an immediate influence of the head upon it self, though it may outwardly seem to be further from the head then another member. And thus it is in Beleevers and Congregations. — Quid autem vi & coactione opus vobis est, qui hujusmodi certamen decertatis, in quo cogi nemo debet? Ulrichus ab Hutten, to the Councel of Priests. What need you the power of the Magistrate to defend the truth, who have so many Scriptures to defend it? the truth of God being to be defended by the Word of God, and not by the power of men. Idem. I could produce many more Testimonies but these are sufficient to shew; that I am not alon in this point, against Forcible reformation; but have the Armory of David, to defend it withall, on which there hange a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men. Though the truth carry its evidence in it self, and the Word of God is greater then all the testimonies of men; yet for their sakes that Are weak, I have inserted the Judgments of Some godly men (as I have accidentally met with them) who have spoken of these things in the Spirit; that so you may see the truth though it hath but few followers, yet it hath Some. Melanchthon on Psalm 110. v. 3. — habebis Populum, non coactum Gladio, said verbo collectum, & laeto cord amplectentem evangelium, & te sponte celebrantem. Discernit igitur Church ab imperiis mundanis, & externam servitutem a cultibus Cordis accensis voce Evangelii & a spiritu sancto. — Ag. Religio Cogi non vult, doceri expetit.
