'Tis true, you are not to prepare their food, for that belongs to the Ministers: yet you must hinder those from feeding them, who give them poyson instead of food; as though you take not upon you the calling of Physicians, yet you must so farre regard the bodies of subjects, as to take care that Physicians prescribe not poyson to their Patients instead of wholesome Physick. Certainly you are not called Gods in the Scripture, that you should cast off all care of godliness, and suffer all to be ungodly; God never appointed Magistrates to be Ox-herds (as many people make them) that is, onely to put the people as Oxen into good Pasture, and to give them store of feeding and pasture, but not to care who carries them to the Shambles, or who knocks them on the head; This is a pitifull Magistrate who doth thus, only provides peace and outward plenty for people, not regarding whether seducers draw them into soul damning heresies or no. |
