 5 1|    deprivation or diminution of those civil interests, or goods, which
 6 1|      magistrate reaches only to these civil concernments, and that all
 7 1|            concernments, and that all civil power, right and dominion,
 8 1|               is not committed to the civil magistrate, any more than
 9 1|            souls cannot belong to the civil magistrate, because his

13 1|         relating to the possession of civil and worldly goods. No force
14 1|           force belongs wholly to the civil magistrate, and the possession

16 1|            those things belong to the civil government and are under

20 1|          other; no, not even when the civil magistrate (as it sometimes

24 1|            any Christian kingdom. The civil power is the same in every

30 1|              has determined, that the civil magistrate orders to be

32 1|             no connection at all with civil affairs. The only business

34 1|             If any human authority or civil power could have done this,
35 1|             be under the power of the civil magistrate, yet cannot,
36 1|           must be remembered that the civil power is the same everywhere,

44 1|             manner of relation to the civil rights of the subjects.
45 1|               alter anything in men’s civil rights. If a heathen doubt
46 1|              piety, concerns also the civil government; and in it lies
47 1|             inward court; both of the civil and domestic governor; I
48 1|       committed by the society to the civil magistrate. This is the
49 1|             no relation to the end of civil government, I mean for their
50 1|      necessary to the preservation of civil society, are to be tolerated
51 1|             in effect opposite to the civil right of the community.

54 1|            You will reply: “Those are civil assemblies, but these we
55 1|            are altogether remote from civil affairs should be most apt
56 1|              to embroil them. Oh, but civil assemblies are composed
57 1|              will be urged still that civil assemblies are open and

60 1|     neighbours and offend against the civil peace?~That we may draw
61 1|            any jurisdiction in things civil, nor any manner of power
62 1|               to be excluded from the civil rights of the commonwealth
63 1|            more abominable, or is the civil peace more endangered by
64 1|             to factions, tumults, and civil wars.” I answer: Is this
