A Treatise of Civil Power in Ecclesiastical Causes is a book written by John Milton that argues against the idea of using civil power to enforce religious beliefs. Milton asserts that it is not lawful for any earthly power, including the government, to compel individuals to conform to a particular religion or religious belief. He argues that religious freedom is a fundamental right and that the government should not interfere in matters of faith. The book is a polemic against the idea of religious persecution and argues for the separation of church and state. It is a seminal work in the history of religious freedom and is still widely read and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
