_J. D._ 7. _Temporal and spiritual government are but two words to make men see double, and mistake their lawful sovereign, &c. There is no other government in this life, neither of state nor religion, but temporal._ 8. _It is manifest, that they, who permit a contrary doctrine to that which themselves believe and think necessary_ (to salvation), _do against their consciences, and will, as much as in them lieth, the eternal destruction of their subjects_. _T. H._ The seventh and eighth are roses and jessamine. But his leaving out the words (_to salvation_) was venom. _J. D._ 9. _Subjects sin if they do not worship God according to the laws of the commonwealth._ _T. H._ The ninth he hath poisoned, and made it not mine. He quotes my book _De Cive_, cap. XV. 19, where I say, _regnante Deo per solam rationem naturalem_, that is, _before the Scripture was given_, they sinned that refused to worship God, according to the rites and ceremonies of the country; which hath no ill scent, but to undutiful subjects. _J. D._ 10. _To believe in Jesus (in Jesum), is the same as to believe that Jesus is Christ._ _T. H._ And so it is always in the Scripture. _J. D._ 11. _There can be no contradiction between the laws of God, and the laws of a Christian commonwealth._ Yet, we see Christian commonwealths daily contradict one another. _T. H._ The eleventh is also good. But his Lordship’s instance, _that Christian commonwealths contradict one another_, has nothing to do here. Their laws do indeed contradict one another, but contradict not the law of God. For God commands their subjects to obey them in all things, and his Lordship himself confesseth that their laws, though erroneous, bind the conscience. But Christian commonwealths would seldom contradict one another, if they made no doctrine law, but such as were necessary to salvation. _J. D._ 12. _No man giveth but with intention of some good to himself. Of all voluntary acts, the object is to every man his own good._ Moses, St. Paul, and the Decii were not of his mind. _T. H._ That which his Lordship adds to the twelfth, namely, that Moses, St. Paul, and the Decii were not of my mind, is false. For the two former did what they did for a good to themselves, which was eternal life; and the Decii for a good fame after death. And his Lordship also, if he had believed there is an eternal happiness to come, or thought a good fame after death to be anything worth, would have directed all his actions towards them, and have despised the wealth and titles of the present world. _J. D._ 13. _There is no natural knowledge of man’s estate after death, much less of reward which is then to be given to breach of faith, but only a belief grounded upon other men’s saying, that they know it supernaturally, or that they know those that knew them that knew others that knew it supernaturally._ _T. H._ The thirteenth is good and fresh.
