EXCEPTION IV,
[A] HOw consistent with the Civil Peace (for as to Christian Cha∣rity, the whole thing is but a Letter of dfiance against it) the Bishops Distinction is about the Act of Idempnity, and (he so much fogotten) Act of , I hope His Majesty and the Parlia∣ment will in due i ne consider. For he is so hardy as to tell us, That the King by it only pardoned the corporal punishment; but the Church had not, nor ought not to forgive the scandal, till honourable amends were made her by confession and Recantation. Where by speaking of the Church, as distinct from the State (I mean in point of Corcive Jurisdiction) the Bishop would make us believe, that after His Majesty and the Parlia∣ment have forgiven men their Civil Crimes, there is still another Power, which he calls the Church, unto which they are still accountable, eve so far as to make a Pulick . Here I wsh the Bishop would have soken out of the Clouds, and plainly told us what he meant by the Church: For if it be a Congregaion of the Faithful met together for the worship of God, as the Dfinition of Scripture, and of the Church of England in the 39 Articles; this will not at all advantage him, since such a Chuch hath Cocive or Imposing Power: But if he means the Hierarchy or Ecclesiastical State,y Arch-Bishops, Bishops. &c. there can be nothing mor false, or more dishonourabl unto o Civil Government, than to affirm that it lies in their power, not only o push, but likwise to exact a Recantation, fr those faults which the King and Parliament have not only pardoed, but und sever penalties command shuld never more be remembred: And therefore I doubt not, but that they will resent this Malicious and ll-grounded Phancy.]
