ser. ii. Tol. x. 183. MAGISTRATES, may they make laws establishing religion ? — Burton, in his Answer to Prynne's Twelve New Interrogatories,' says : " Those patri- archs and princes of Israel, before the law and under the law, from Adam to Christ, never had this power or prerogative to make ecclesiastical laws or binding canons." He further presses the point,' that neither synods nor parliaments have this power. Magistrates are to punish for overt acts, not for opinions. Baillie, in his Dissua...sive,' vehemently accuses the Independents of esteeming all matters of religion free and exempt from the magistrate's sword and power. Edwards, in his GangrEense,* represents the Independents of the army as un- willing that the Parliament should set up even Independent government : they held liberty of con- science ; that in matters of religion no man should be bound, but every one left to follow his own conscience. Cambridge Platform' encroaches on this broad ground : though it maintains the general principle, yet it makes a fatal exception, by allow- ing magistrates to punish, where the matter is per- fectly clear, for heresy and venting corrupt opinions that destroy the foundation.
