Detect. 40. Their last course when all other fail, is, To turn from Fraud to Force, and open Violence, stirring up Princes to wars and bloodshed, that they may destroy the professors of the Reformed Religion, as far as they are able, and do that by flames and sword, by halters, and hatches, which they cannot do by Argument? Hence have proceeded the bloody butcheries of the poor Waldenses and Albigenses, formerly and now again of late; and the wars in Bohemia, the League and wars, and Massacres in France, the desolating wars of Germany, the plots, invasions and wars in England: Most of the flames in Christendom of late ages have been kindled for the Pope by his Agents, that he might warm him by that fire that others are consumed by. Hence his own pretences to the Temporal ⟨p. 357⟩Sword, and so many volumes written to justify it, and so many Tragedies acted in the execution. And yet these men cry up Antiquity and Tradition. I wonder what Bishop in all the world for above three hundred years after Christ, did ever claim or exercise the temporal sword, as much as to be a Justice of Peace? nay it was their judgement that it did not belong to them. Neither the Pope nor any Bishop on earth, as such, hath any thing to do with the coercive power of the sword; nor may not inflict the smallest penalty on body or purse, but only guide men by the Word of God; and the utmost penalty they can inflict is, to excommunicate them. And they have nothing to do to destroy men, when they have excommunicated them, nor to cause the Magistrate to do it: but rather should still endeavour their Conversion. Synesius Epistol. 57. against Andronicus saith as followeth [[Greek or Hebrew], &c. To join together secular government with the Priesthood, is to tie together things that are incoherent (or such as cannot be tied together) The old times made the same men Priests and Judges: For the Egyptians and Hebrems did long make use of the Government of Priests. But afterward, as seems to me, when Gods work began to be done in an humane manner, God separated the two sorts of life, and one of them was made sacred, and the other appointed for Rule and Command. For some he turned to these Material (or common, secular) things, and some he associated with himself: The former were appointed for secular business; the later for prayer. But from both doth God require that which is honest (or Good.)
