The sword of Christian magistracy supported: or A vindication of Christian magistrates authority under the Gospell, to punish idolatry, apostacy, heresie, blasphemy, and obstinate schism, with corporall, and in some cases with capitall punishments. Wherein this their jurisdiction is cleared by proofs, and arguments, from the Old and New Testament; by the laws, and practise of godly Christian emperors, kings, states, and magistrates; the common and statute laws of England; the consent of the best ancient and modern authors of all sorts; and the most materiall objections to the contrary, made by Donatists, Anabaptists, &c. fully answered and refuted. By William Prinne of Lincolns Inne, Esquire.
