35. 1 Kings, xx. 42. Job, xxix. 25, and xxxi. 26, 28. Neh. Xiii. Jonah, iii. 7. Ezra, vii. Dan. Iii. 29. 7. The object of the power of the magistrate are not things merely inward, and so not subject to his cognizance and view, as unbelief, hardness of heart, erroneous opinions not vented, but only such things as are acted by the outward man ; neither is their power to be exercised in commanding such acts of the out- ward man, and punishing the neglect thereof, as are but mere inventions and dev...ices of men, but about such acts as are commanded and forbidden in the word ; yea, such as the word doth clearly determine, though not always clearly to the judgment of the magistrate or others, yet clearly in itself. In these he of right ought to put forth his authority, though oft-times actually he doth it not. 1 Kings, xx. 28, 42. 8. Idolatry, blasphemy, heresy, venting corrupt and pernicious opinions, that destroy the foundation, open contempt of the word preached, profanation of the Lord's day, disturbing the peaceable administration and exercise of the worship and holy things of God, and the like, are to be restrained and punished by civil authority.
