CALVIN'S INSTITUTES, IV. ii. 12 :—
"Daniel and Paul foretold that Antichrist would sit in the temple of God. The head and leader of that wicked and abominable kingdom amongst us we hold to be the Roman Pontiff.”
As, nevertheless, in old time amongst the Jews there remained some peculiar prerogatives of the Church, so to-day we do not take away from the Papists the vestiges of the Church which after their removal the Lord has willed should remain amongst them. . . . So when God had set aside His Covenant in France, Italy, Germany, Spain, and England, where those provinces were oppressed by the tyranny of Antichrist, nevertheless He preserved amongst them, in the first place, Baptism, as a testimony of the Covenant, by which His Covenant might remain inviolable, and this, being consecrated by His mouth, retains its virtue in spite of man's impiety; then by His providence He caused other vestiges of the Church also to remain, that the Church might not utterly perish."
AUGSBURG CONFESSION, Part I. Art. XVI. :—
"Concerning civil matters, they teach that lawful civil institutions are good works of God; that it is lawful for Christians to exercise a magistrate's office, to pass judgments, to judge matters in accordance with the imperial laws and others that are in force, to appoint punishments in accordance with law, to engage in lawful wars, to take up military service, to contract by law, to hold property, to take an oath when the magistrates so require, and to marry.
"They condemn the Anabaptists, who forbid these civil functions to Christians."
SAXON CONFESSION, Art. XXIII. :—
"Then the justice of God is seen in political government, because He will have open crimes to be punished by the magistrates; and when they who are in authority do not themselves inflict punishment on offenders, God Himself, in a wonderful manner, seizes them for punishment, and proportionately punishes horrible offences with horrible. penalties in this life, as it is said, 'He who has taken the sword shall perish by the sword;' and again, Whoremongers and adulterers God judgeth.""
SECOND HELVETIC CONFESSION, Art. XXX. :
"We condemn the Anabaptists, who, as they deny that a Christian can perform the function of a magistrate, so also deny that any man may be rightly put to death by the magistrate, or that the magistrate can make war, or that oaths should be taken before the magistrate, &c."
TERTULLIAN, Apol. XXXVII. :
"We are of yesterday, and we have filled all things of yours; your cities, islands, fortresses, towns, courts; your very camps; your tribes and classes; the palace, the senate, the forum; we have left to you your temples only."
REFORMATIO LEGUM, "De Haeresibus," Cap. 14:
"There is excluded also the community of goods and possessions brought in by the same Anabaptists, which they press so far as to leave nothing of his own to any man. And in this they speak marvellously,
since they perceive that theft is prohibited by the Divine Scripture, and see that alms are praised in both Testaments, which we bestow out of our own belongings; but neither of these two things, of course, could be unless the right of having goods and possessions of their own were left to Christians."
BELGIC CONFESSION, Art. XXXVI. :—
"Wherefore we detest the Anabaptists and all turbulent people who reject higher powers and magistrates, overthrow legal rights and judgments, make all goods common, and, in fine, abolish or confound all orders and degrees which, for uprightness' sake, God has appointed amongst men."
REFORMATIO LEGUM, "De Haeresibus," Cap. 15:
Moreover, neither do the Anabaptists leave the lawful use of oaths; and in this they proceed contrary to the sense of Scripture, and the examples of the Fathers of the Old Testament, as well as the Apostle Paul, nay of Christ, nay of God the Father, whose oaths are often mentioned in the Sacred Writings."
