summary:
  28 Whether there be any Scripture that saith , that any mans conscience is to be constrained , and whether the Magistrate can reach mens consciences ; and whether he be fit to make a law to conscience , who cannot know when conscience keeps it , and that cannot reward conscience for keeping it , nor punish the conscience for the breaking of it ? 29 Whether it be not in vain for us to have Bibles in English , if against our souls perswasions from the Scriptures , we must beleeve as the Church beleeves ? 30 Whether the Magistrate be not wronged , to give him the title of Civill Magistrate onely , if his power be spirituall ? 31 Whether laws made meerly concerning spirituall things , be not spirituall also ? 32 Whether if no civill Law be broken , the civill peace be hurt or no ? 33 Whether in compulsion for conscience , not only the guilty , but the innocent suffer also ? And if a Magistrate be in darknesse , and spiritually blind , and dead ; be fit to judge of light , of truth and errour ? and whether such be fit for the place of the Magistracy ? then whether it be not a scruple to a tender conscience to submit to such in civill causes , because not appointed to that place by God ? whereas if the Magistrates power be onely civill , the doubt is resolved , because such as may be fit for Magistrates , and men ought in conscience in civill things to submit unto them .

  The divine right of Presbyterie, asserted by the present Assembly, and petitioned for accordingly to the Honourable House of Commons in Parliament. With reasons discussing this pretended divine right; and yet with tendernesse to the brethren of the Presbyterial way. Pleading for a liberty of conscience for them in this their opinion, as for others of their dissenting brethren, and equally for both. With inferences upon their late petition. / By John Saltmarsh, preacher of the gospel.

summary:
  Inference Whence we may inferre , that their whole endeavour is , to raise up the Interest of the Eldership and Presbytery into a distinct , sole , and Independent body and power ; which how conformable , and obedient , and consistent it may prove to and with the power of the State in one and the same Kingdome , would be considered , when such an Interest growes up from its infancy and first Reformation , into a fuller and more perfect man : And whether their petitioning of a power from the State to compleat and make them an Eldership and Presbytery , doth not imply a power in the State more or rather as fully Ecclesiasticall as their Presbytery ; for can the State give them any Ecclesiasticall power , and have none in it selfe ? so as according to these Principles the State is Ecclesiasticall as well as they , and so not to be denyed the power of Commissioning with them : or else t is a meer contradiction to pray for power from those to their Eldership and Presbytery , which they say is a Government and Power entirely Ecclesiasticall and compleat in it selfe ; and so , as they either pray for that which they have of their own already , or else pray for that from the State which they cannot give them . FIrst , They who are the Presbyters in this present Presbytery , pretend to be Presbyters by a power of Ordination from Bishops , as the Bishops were Presbyters : and if so , they are to make it appear , that there is a true personal succession of Ministery from the Apostles , and that they do lineally succeed without interruption ; for in succession unlesse there be a certain , perpetual , and personal derivation of power , there can be no certainty , nor infallibility of the truth of such a power ; and whether the proof of this draws not with it a necessary and perpetual visibility of a Church , ( contrary to the opinion of all the Reformed Divines ; ) and further , a truth of Church-Ministery , and Ordinances of Jesus Christ in the Antichristian State , from whence this Ministery of theirs comes , by which they stand present-Presbyters ; and how any true Ministery can be found in that very Antichristian State , which is called the man of sin , the mystery of iniquity , the Whore of Babylon , the falling away ; and how the same State can be both meerly Antichristian and Christian , a Whore of Babylon and a Spouse of Jesus Christ , a Ministery of God and a mystery of iniquity , a Temple of God and of Idols ; I leave it to be judged .

summary:
  And as the solemnity of an Oath is to bee measured by the persons swearing , so by the matter also that is to be sworne to ; God would not sweare to the Covenant of works , he intended not to honour it so much , it was not to continue , it was not worthy of an Oath of his ; but to the Covenant of grace , which is the Gospel , he swears and repents not of it . It will not bee unworthy your consideration , whether seeing the preservation of Popery hath beene by Leagues and Covenants , God may not make a League or Covenant to be the destruction of it ▪ Nay , the very rise of Popery seemeth to be after such a manner by Kings , that is , Kingdomes assenting and agreeing perhaps by some joynt Covenant ( the Text saith , with one minde , why not then with one mouth ? ) to give their power and strength unto the Beast , and make war against the Lamb , Rev. 17. where you read the Lamb shall overcome the Beast , and possibly with the same weapons , he is the Lord of Lords , and King of Kings , he can unite Kings and Kingdomes , and give them one minde also to destroy the Whore and be her utter ruine ; And may not this dayes work be a happy beginning of such a blessed expedition ?

  A modell of the government of the church under the gospel, by presbyters, proved out of the holy scriptures, to be that one, onely uniform government of the universall visible church, and of all nationall, provinciall, classicall and congregationall churches: which is according to the will and appointment of Jesus Christ. Which may serve to stay such as are doubting, with hope of full satisfaction, and clear demonstration of this truth, shortly to be made by the reverend Assembly of Divines. / Composed by a Presbyterian minister of the city of London, and approved by divers of his learned brethren, and at their request published.

summary:
  Surely no rationall man will so much as dreame , That Ministers of Christ , who are able to teach the supreme Magistrate his duty , how to be just , and to rule over men in the feare of God , are not able to rule their owne flock , over which the holy Ghost made them overseers ; or that Church Government in their hands to whom Christ hath committed it , will prove more arbitrary , irregular , unlimited , and tyrannicall then the Government both of Commonwealth and Church in the hands of Civill Magistrates , seeing Ministers and Church Elders have a certaine and infallible rule , the word of God , to which alone they are limited , and by which the spirit of God is promised to direct them in all Censures , and Church Government . Wherefore , ô London , thou that hast chosen the best part , rejoice in the Lord thy God , who hath made his glory to rise upon thee , and his light to shine upon thy grave Senatours , thy religious Common-Councell , and all thy true hearted Citizens ; and hath led them into those waies which be in Christ , which Saint Paul taught every where , and in every Church , 1 Cor.

And reverend Brethren , let us all agree not to be idle , but diligent , read the Scriptures , and pack them up together , a deal of exhortations , reprehensions , admonitions , and prophecies , and read some old Authors , as Ireneus , Ambro● , Cyprea● , Ierom , Baz●l , Austin , Orige● , Damizin , and it s not amiss if we take in Luther and Calvi● , Memno , Beza ; and some other late modern Writers ; And so by much reading & meditation our affections will be whetted up and Quickned , and those words which we read often will lodge in our memory , so that we shall be able to pray half an hour ex temp●re , or an hour and an half upon a Fast-day ( for that 's the best traffi●ue that goes of such dayes as those ) without tautologies , or reiterations , and so though we pray several times , and in several places , as before Kings , or Councels , or a Synod , or Classis , Merchants of our own order , yet by this means we shall be fitted for all places and times , to sute the business which we are about , and if any question the thing , let us say , we pray by the Spirit as it gives us utterance ; but now this is the last and best of our merchandi●e , which is as gold & silver , & precious stone , & pearl ; if this will not go off , as upon the account of the spirit , or spiritual worship , or a spiritual ordinance , then there is little hope of driving any more trade , or getting any more sale , with these men , then let us cry to the Magistrates , they are new-fangled & giddy-headed , and delights in Novelties , and are erroneous schismaticks , and hereticks , and are factious and seditious , which if they be let alone , & not be timely checked & reproved , they will overthrow us merchants call'd ( by our selves Ministers ) and not only us but also both Church & Common-wealth .
