A Free Disputation Against Pretended Liberty of Conscience #12 - Samuel Rutherford

This audio file contains Chapter 21. Of the Samaritans, and of the non-compelling of heathens, how the Covenant bindeth us.

1. The not burning of the Samaritans doth prove nothing for immunity of heretics from the sword.

2. How far we may compel other nations, or heathens to embrace the truth faith.

3. Of the Covenant's obliging of us, to the religious observance thereof.

4. The word of God as it is in every man's conscience no rule of Reformation in the Covenant.

5. The equivocation of sectaries in swearing the Covenant.

6. The author of the ancient bonds an ignorant prevaricator in the Covenant.

7. All moral compelling of heretics, and refuting of false teachers by the word, is as unlawful as compulsion by the sword, according to the principles of libertines.

8. The magistrate as the magistrate cannot send ministers but in a compulsory way.

9. How independents were ensnared by Presbyterians to take the Covenant as the author saith.

10. How independents swore to defend the Presbyterian government, and with tongue, pen, and sword, cry out at it, as tyrannical, antichristian and popish.

11. Libertines make conscience, not the word of God their rule.

12. How appearing to the conscience makes not the word of God to be the obliging rule, but only as touching the right and due manner of being obliged thereby.
