V crT" < Pf ... A S I R , Ccording to my Promife in my laft, I proceed to prove the Independency » / tbe Church on the State to he a primitive and Catholick Truth, in Oppofition to the falfe AfTertions of the Authors of the Independent Whig, who have defcribed the Church as tiie Creature of the State, and the Clergy, as Officers appointed by Order tf the Civil Maglftrate, ( like Cburcb- Wardens, Confiables, & c ) » according to his Lam, • which, it their Rule, and has interpreted the Scripture for them. T o confute V h i ch dangerous and heretical D. j& rine, nothing more is nec^ ffary, than to require of its Defenders, to fhew,- by what C- yrnmifTion from CHRIST the Civil Magiftrate derives the Power of appointing Spiritual Officers - in rhe Church; . where we are directed by CHRIST to make the Law of the Land our Rule in Matters of Religion ; or where the Power of impofing his own Interpretations of Scripture on all his. Subjefts is given to the Civil Magiftr » te in the New Tefkment ? And if not the leaf): Shadow of Proof can he produced for any of thele Things ; i f not one Text of the N ew Teftamerft can be alledged to countenance thefe Notions ; if CHRIST has inverted the Civil Magiftratewith no Spiritual Power at a l l ; what Cenfure can be too fevere on thofe who are for wrafting the Government of the Church oUt of the. Hands of rhe'mi to whom CHRIST committed k, for rejecting the Bible, and making it give Place to the- Statilte- liook, and for forcing the Inftitutions of our Blefled Saviour to bow- to the arbitrary- Lufts of every fupremfe Civil Power? , The Government of th © Church, the Adminiftratioq. of # he Sacraments, the Powers of Excommunication and Abfolution, and9 all other Mlniftratkms in- Holy Things, were by CHRIST committed to- hft ApofHe*, i& di by them delegated toit- he Primitive Biftiopi, to be continued in an uninterrupted . Succeflion of the iWe-- Spiritual Officers to the End of the World. They were lb far from confulrint, the Civil. Magistrate, or fubmirting to his Direction in thele Affairs, that they exeiciied tho Powers given them by CHRIST in direft Oppofition t « all the Edicts, of the then governing Pritices, tho' af the certain- Hazard ef their Lives ; and'lo far werethey from thinking the Law of the Land their Rule in Religion, that they toitt tbefupreme Powers to ft Air Facey that they voert to obey GOD-. and not Man, and that if thy jou^ ht n pleafe Hen, they could net be the Servants of C H R I S T . . We • re obliged TO become Members of the ChriJUan Church,- by the Law of CHRIST, not the Law of the Land, T h ! Petvaity of Unbelief is eternal Damnation, even to the Supreme Civil Magiftrate himfelf; and tho'he be ever, lb great an Oppofer either of the Whole of Chriftianity, or any fundamental Article of it, we are obliged to- a4Here to the Profeffion thereof, notwithftaading the levereft- Perfections; and moft exquifite Tortures inflifted by- him on that Account This was the Cafe of the CHURCH, and this its Do& rino andPra& ice for the firft three- hundred. Years after CHRIST, When the Princes of the World embraced the Faith, and took the Church into their Protection, theChyrch continued ftill a dijiinct Society independent ' rf the State., inith Refftcf to all its purely Spiritual Poxoers. The religious Emperors of thofq Ti mes were fo far from claiming any Authority ; n Matters of Relijion, or defiling their Determinations to be a Rule to the Clergy.; that the contrary is evident from innumerable Inftances : I flvall relate a few. Conjijsnt'ue the Great, in his fc. pi file concerning the Council of hi ice, declares their Decrees to be the Determination of God, ami char it was his Duty to receive the Faith they had confirmed,; ths* the Things within the Cfiurch belonged to their Inlpe& ion, tjie Things without to his ; an, d that GOD had made rheai Biftiops, ' and given them . Authority in Spirituals over Piioces. themfelves. Theodofius was fo W J I I acquainted with the Nature of the Epil'copal Power, and the j 14ft Limits of his own, that he meekly fubmitted to the Sentence of Ex. • communication, and never refted, till by a fincwe Repentanc^ he had obtained Abfolution ; and: he was So far from thinking, that St. Amlmift had exceeded the Limits of eke fcpifcopal Power, that heeftfemed and honoured, him as a moft faithful and religious Pi elate. In the A& s of the Council of Cbultedon - we find, that the Emperor lutely difclaimed all Power of judging concerning Matters of Faith, and acknowledged that it belonged orjy to GOD's Pri^ fts. yalcfltinian declared it unlawful for Jhimfelf, being a Lay- Man, to examine into thefe Things : And whoever looks into the Theodojian or Juftinfan Codex, will, fee, that rim Chrlftitn Emperors never determined any Thing concerning Articles of Faith, never inflicted Spiritual Cenfdres; hut ftill referred the E?; « .' ciie of tk> le Powers to the Bifhops, as foreign to the Royal Dignity. Neither is this DoCtrine in'the lenft ioconfiftent y/ ith the Supremacy of our Kings. With that unlimited fuprema Head ( hip affirmed by Henry the Eighth, and yielded to Jjyij by the fcandalous Submiflion of a Servile, Safe, Poplfh Convocation, it is indeed inconfiftent: But With the Supremacy, as limired by Queen Elizabeth, and . explained in liar Irs junctions in the 37th Article,- and afterwards in the firft and fecond Canon, it is perfectly comifient : The Supremacy is there. dec la- red to conlift in having- the chief Authority, over all EJlates of this Rcahn, Eccleftaific. il or Civil,, in all Cauje/, exclusive of - all Foreign Jurisdiction : The Power of- ininiftring of God's Word and Sacraments is exprefty denied to he any Part of i t ; and no Man, but one who wants either common Senfey or common Honelty, would pretend, that by . Caufet Ecclefiafllcal, are to be : uhderftood Controvirfies of Faith : Thofe are by the 10th Article left t o IK idetci min. ecj. by the. Authority of the CHURCH ; an d if weAviiU allow o^ r ielvas ' o confider the DifUn. Crion betweea EeciijioBicSi anti i^ frltuM, we fiiall eafily difcern the Caufes Ecelejiajiieal, to tiiofe which are tried in the Ecchjiijlical Quarts, which Courts are held by the King's Authority, and a& in Subordinarlon to him- It will never bo well, either in CHURCH or S T A T E , where the Bifhops claim Temporal, or the Pr. nee Spiritual Power : Our Independent Whigs tell us indeed with Confidence enough, jn their 47< rh Paper, that there is ootbicsg in the Gofpel to countenance the Diftin& ion of Ecclaiiaft'icai and CiviJ; But the very Arguments tijey ufe to prove it, ' - l • '.> . f . o fuily ft* 1 S A ( 662 fu! ly evince ti e contrary, and hy flicw- lng the Kingdom of L.- nj* not to be ot this World, nor to iuv e any temporal Po- vf- rs, confirm the Churches Indpend: ncy th' S-.- ite : And they v.- ho afTert the contrary, are, by the Confeffion of our \ e y Adverfaries guilty of deftroyiiig God s Dominion, by ubverting hi;, Authority, and miking a God of Magiit ate.

We have had three Mails arrived from Holland, and one from France fince our former. Letters by the laft continue a difmal Account of the Progrefs of the Plague, which ftill rages and fpreads it felf in a very melancholy Manner, in fpight of all Oppofition from the Weather, and from the Methods ufed by the Government to intercept. ks Progrefs. The Inhabitants fly the very Rumour of its Approach, and feme Towns have been abnoft deferted before they could difcover the Diftemper within fifty Miles cf them ; but all the Retreat thofe unfortunatePeople can. have, is to the open Villages, and Farm Houfes in; the Country, they being furrounded as it were with a powerful Army, and all the Avenues, Ijtoads, and Paflages guarded to prevent their pen e u a y ig ( netratingfurther, and d'fperfing themfclves thro' the Kingdom. i • The French are ftiil in fome Confnfi. bn in their . Civil Affairs, and fhe - Chances among them haviiH; very great, it could nor • ether wife- be . expected j how thfev go with unwearied Apfclkark- n to fettle M on - i t'> 5; d eftabliffied Foundation ; and it is ?! cc very little'Time they wi';!-' be able' to wor!" ,- hro' Difficulties.

Their Ch- jrch Affairs are in a better Situation all the vacant L'ifhopricks, Abbeys, and Benefices in tht Kingdom being at length filled up by the King, to the inexprelfible Satisfaction nf thofe who have l e g waited in Expeftation of being provided for, many of wiu. a. fullered no little'Hardfhips by the Delay. Whatever may be tl elr Reafon far it we fliall not fay, hut the French fem now. to pufh w; th no little Earueftnefs for the fpecdy Forming of the Cong efs » £ Cam bray. However, they tell us, their Inftinces cannot. be complied with till at leaft the Middle of next Month, wtien, if the Difficulties - vvhich have' hitherto retarded it, can by any poflible Means lie removed, that Affair wiH fuffer no longer Delay tho' it feemsthe French are refoived not only to be lure of this, hut to fee a happy IiTue of i 1\ : go: iation alfo, before they intirely Iheatl/ che Sword, ir j a c themfelves out of a Capacity of flrewing their R e f e . \ . . . or ferving their Friends, i f their Oppof-. rs fhouid no: '.' link fit to anfwer their Expeftatio*?; therefore they're.-; s now, that the Redaftion of their Troops, which th,. y ha;' rs been Img. talking of, will not be made till after the Treaty of Camoray is fiiully fixiilhed, and the Peace proclaimed. We have no farther Particulars by thefe Mails of the Spanifh Affairs in Africa ; only a Confirmation. of the late A& ion, and many Alfurances, that the Whole of the Accounts we had of it laft Week was true, and to be depended on. Thefe Letters bring - JS a more particular Account than has yet been publifhed, of the late dreadful Fire, at Rennes, and of the difmal Circumltances the fuffering Inhabitants are theieby reduced to. They allure us, that it burnt fiur Days and four Nights with the utmoft Violence, and without any Abatement; that two and thirty Streets are iciuced to Afhes, together with the Cathedral, the Biihop's Palace, and all the Houfes round it, the Courts of judicature, the Prifons, the fine Church ofSt. Saviour, moft ofth? Convents, and the Halls belonging to the Pioctois and Aav. ocares, WooHgn- Drapers, Mercers, and Golcfmiths, all the Corn, Meal, and Bake- houfes- are confumed, which has cccalioned a Scarcity almoft like a Famine, Bread being at an exceflive Rate, a Half Peck Loaf being fold after the Rate of ten Shillings Englifh Money, and other Provifions i. o Proportion ; feverai bundrod People perilhed in the Flames; befides which< the Lofs is at a moderate Computation reckoned to be upwards of two hundred Millions of Livres. The Affairs of Religion in the Empire appear, in fhorr, more and more intricate every Day, and the good Inclination there feem'a cultivated in the Roman Catholick" s, to ad- ' juft- Matters with their Proteftant Neighbours, to alter little in Favour of the latter. Whether Means may in Time be found out to rectify this untoward Difpolition. in thi le contending Parties, and engage them to conclude their Difputes in an amicable Manner, or if not, what may be the Illue of their Proceedings, is rather more hard than it was to determine ; tho' if we are to credit what they write. 4fiom all Parts upon this Head, iris certain that they have at laft run Things into fo many Intricacies and Difficulties, and carried their Animofities to fuch a He'ght, that it muft be by other Mediums than thofe that have yet been found out, if the good Harmony we have been long in Expectation of is in Halte effectually eftablilhed among the Religious in that Part o f cie World. The Pacification in Poland feems to have gained Ground of ai4 their Ferment and Refentments ; and a Peace is effeftually eftablilhed among them at leaft for the prefent. The King indeed is gene into Saxony, and many of the Court are gone with him, which, fome fay, Ihews" Confidence in the dutiful Allurances given by the Malecontencs of their peaceable Behaviour for the future ; but others, that ic is a Teftimony cf his diftrufting the Sincerity of thofe Affuranees. But however that may be, his Majefty has left his Favourite, Count Fleming, behind him, to take Care of tha Welfare of 663 ) the Kingdom, and to watch, as it were, his Matter's Intereft ih. hi- Ah fences, both of which are 1b interwoven- with his own Advantage and Security, that if he were under no OtheiTies, there is no doubt of his being true cs his Charge. The Face * bf a Peace continues indeed between Sweden and Mufcovy, and but little more; for as to any real Accommodation of the r Differences, ic is as yet lb much in Embrio, we can make nothing of i t ; both Sides, ' tis faid, are willing to make Peace, but they are fo flow io their Advances towards fo agreeable a Work, that the Sincerity of their Intentions to it are the more to be doubted ; ani to People who judge Ity their Proceedings, the Seafon cf the Ye appears the only Means which prevents theSr Coming to Slows; for while they cannot fight, they fhew but too great an Inclination to be making all poflible Preparations' in their Power for the Carrying on the War with Vigour the next Campaign, if a Peace Ihould nor in Time prevent the Operations of i t ; and in this their Application the Mufcocovites are far from being bekind- hand with their Enemies, but arduoufly endeavour to preferve the Reputation they have obtained for Caution and Vigilance, by their incefl'ant and unwearied Endeavouis to fortify themfelves, and increafe their Strength at Home, and to make new Friends Abroad, fo to render themfelves formidable by new Alliances ani new Forces, and to do every other Thing that may contribute to their own Security, and to the Baffling the future Defi'gns of their Oppofers. Thefe Letters talk very confidently of a Marriage to bis very f h m l y confummatsd between the young Duke of Holftein, and a Niece of hisCzarilh Majefty, but whether it is to be fo or not, we muft refer to Time and further Advices to bring us to a Certainty in ; though, by the Way, if fuch an Affair fhouli take Place, it might in Time produce a Change ia the Circumftances of that unhappy young Prince much t J his Advantage, and contribute to the Railing his at prefent deprefs'd Fortunes in the World. The Accounts from Holland are ftill barren of any material i n t e l l i g e n c e relating to themfelves : The People there are fo frunn'd with their own Difafters, that they leem refoived rather to be Spe& ators of the Transitions of Europe, than concern themfelves any further in them than they are abfoluteiy obliged to, till their own Affairs have*, recovered their former good Situation, and they mattered their prefent D litre fs ; both of which are at this Juncture fo little to be expected fr 3111 them, that it. ought to be no manner c f Surpr. ze to us, if we find they continue in'this unaftive Pofture for a confiderable Time yet to come.
