Description
Marshall also argued that the Henrician schism paved the way for England to become a "Christian Commonwealth where the Church is lodged," whose characteristic was the unity among the people of God. This implied that in England, Presbyterians, Independents, and Erastians all belonged to one body of Jesus Christ, the "Head of the Church." In a Christian Commonwealth, civil magistracy was a divine institution and had the highest power of ordering and governing the church, according to Marshall. It was the civil magistracy's responsibility to protect and to take care of God's people in all godliness, and in order to do so, magistrates should be rightly informed from the Word of God.
