XVII. Of the civil magistrate''s power in matters eccle- siastical, K r is lawful, profitable, and necessary for christians to gather themselves together into church estate, and therein to exercise all the ordinances of Christ, according unto the word, akhough the consent of the magistrate could not be had thereunto ; be- cause the apostles and christians in their time did frequently thus practise, when the magistrates being all of them Jewish or Pagan and most persecuting enemies would give no... countenance or consent to such matters. Acts ii. 41, 47. And iv. 1, 2, 3. 2. Church government stands in no opposition to civil government of commonwealths, nor any way intrenchcth upon the authority of civil magis- trates in their jurisdiction ; nor any whit weaken- eth their h-inds in governing, but rather strength- eneth them, furthereth the people in yielding more hearty and conscionable obedience unto them, whatsoever some ill affected persons to the ways of Christ have suggested, to alienatC' the affection of 61 kings and princes from the ordinances of Christ ; as if the kingdom of Christ in his church could not rise and stand without the falhng and weakening of their goveniment, which is also of Christ ; whereas the contrary is most true, that they may both stand together and flourish, the one being helpful unto the other in their distinct and due administrations.
