Note 98 — Chapter V
Reading edition
Cromwellian Diary, i. p. cxix.
After a careful consideration of what Baxter says, compared with Goddard's Journal in Cromwellian Diary, vol. i. (Introduction), I am brought to the conclusion above expressed, notwithstanding the attempt of Mr. Orme in his Life of Owen, p. 115, to give a different version of the affair. John Goodwin attacked the principle involved in the measure in his Thirty Queries modestly propounded in Order to the Discovery of the Truth and Mind of God in that Question or Case of Conscience, whether the Civil Magistrate stands bound by Way of Duty to interpose his Power or Authority in Matters of Religion and Worship of God. 1653.
