Objection. THe Spirit of God in the Revelations, reproveth the Churches, for suffering such sorts of people to be amongst them?
Ans. But the Spirit of God in that Chapter,* 1.1 doth not give those Churches, a cumpulsive ••••∣wer, to force such Sectaries, to be of their opini∣ons, whether they would or no; he only taxeth them for not
objecting such people, from their society; so that the cumpulsive power which you would have the Civill Magistrate use for you, as your executioners, is a way to contradict our Saviour, who calleth his Church, a little slock; whereas you would force it, to consist of whole Nations, making no distinction betwixt it, and the world.
The Apostles used no cum∣pulsive course to any.
