5. In what the Church differeth from the Common-weale.
1The Church differeth from the Common-weal: §11. Because Common-weals are distinct, and Kingdoms of the world, are in divers places and times: The Church is always one and the same at all times, and with all men. §22. The Kingdoms and States of the world have many heads, or one chief Head, and many other inferior heads besides, and that on earth: The Church hath but one, and that in heaven. §33. The Common-wealth is governed by certain Laws made for the maintenance of outward peace and tranquillity: The Church is ruled by the holy Ghost and the Word of God. §44. The Common-wealth or civill State requireth outward obedience only: The Church requireth both, as well inward obedience as outward. §55. In civill States and Common-wealths there is power and liberty to make new Laws positive by the authority of the Magistrate, the violating of which Laws bindeth mens consciences, and deserveth corporal punishments: The Church is tied to the Word of God, to which it is not lawful to add ought, or to detract ought from it. §6
