Next, this debate also tendeth to this end, that the pow∣er as well of Ecclesiasticall censure as of the civil sword be∣ing in force, the licentiousness of carnal men, which desire that there be too slack Ecclesiastical Discipline or none at all, may be bridled, and so men may sin less, and may live more
agreeably to the Gospel. Another thing here intended is, that errours on both sides being overthrown, (as well the errour of those who under a fair pretence of maintaining and defen∣ding the rights of Magistracy, do leave to the Church either no power, or that which is too weak; as the errour of others, who under the vail of a certain suppositious and imaginary Christian Liberty, do turn off the yoke of the Magistrate) both powers may enjoy their own Priviledges; add hereto that both powers being circumscribed with their distinct bor∣ders and bounds, and also the one underpropped and strength∣ned by the help of the other, a holy concord between them may be nourished, and they may mutually and friendly imbrace one another.
