==Historical==
The Magisterial Reformation is a phrase that "draws [[attention]] to the [[manner]] in which the Lutheran and Calvinist reformers related to secular [[authorities]], such as princes, [[magistrates]], or city councils", i.e. "the magistracy".[1] While the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_Reformation Radical Reformation] rejected any secular [[authority]] over the Church, the Magisterial Reformation argued for the [[interdependence]] of the church and secular authorities, i.e. "The magistrate had a right to authority within the church, just as the church could rely on the authority of the magistrate to enforce discipline, suppress heresy, or maintain order."[2]
