The authority of the magistrate, about religion, discussed, in a rebuke to the prefacer of a late book of Bishop Bramhalls. Being a confutation of that mishapen tenent, of the magistrates authority over the conscience in the matters of religion. And the better asserting of his authority ecclesiastical, by dividing aright between the use of his sword about religious affairs, and tenderness towards mens consciences. And also for vindication of the grateful receivers of His Majesties late gracious declaration, against his and others aspersions. / By J.H.
