founders of the Church of Scotland un this proposition Did or did they understand it as sanctioning the right of the civil ruler to interfere authori in matters of and to visit with pains and penalties those who might dissent from the established formulary This is the question now before us and to this we hope to give a full and satisfactory We begin with JOHN the the successful who never

with which to and to commend to public your magnificent scheme for the issue of cheap pub were the opinions of your ecclesiastical hero on the subject He religiously believed that what is called the of Moses was the provisions it contained were of perpetual obligation and that in consequence of these laws being idolators and these he meant Romanists might lawfully be put to death I we affirm and now for the the First Book of John and the Reformers address the argument to the estates of Scotland We dare say they in relation to prescribe unto you what penalties shall be required of such but
