Do you have an electronic version? I can't find Turretin online.

I don't. As far as I know, there are no electronic editions of Turretin in English; only Latin. But, check your PM box.
Can I check my PM box too, I would love to read this. ME TOO ME TOO!
Prufrock
Arbitrary Moderation
Some main points:
1. Although princes may not compel any to faith or religion, nevertheless they have the duty to establish, nourish and protect the true faith. While he may not compel any, he is, however, as a caring father to admonish and encourage his subjects to the faith, and to admonish those ministers delinquent in their duty, and also through external means to ensure good order in the church.
2. Even as bishops may not legislate nor plead in court, so the magistrate may not take upon himself the ministry of the word or sacrament; nor is he concerned with religion as it is internal and pertains to the conscience, but only externally, as to good order in the kingdom.
3. Private belief and conviction may not be punished; only public and outward teaching and subversion. Therefore, while the true faith and church is to be established (and no other religion), nevertheless not only are none to be compelled thereunto, but private belief and scruple (and practice) are outside his sphere.
4. Even as the magistrate is not to punish all sins, neither is he to punish all heresies, nor to punish all equally, remembering that his duties are to nurture his subjects, and to maintain good order, whereby only the most notorious and subversive, irreconcilable heretics are to be punished with extreme measures.

The mighty Wikipedia states that:
Longest word in English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
antidisestablishmentarianism is the longest non-coined and nontechnical word in the English dictionary.
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is the longest word in a major dictionary, which according to the Oxford English Dictionary is, "a factitious word alleged to mean 'a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust, causing inflammation in the lungs.'
While the longest word in a Shakespear play is "Honorificabilitudinitatibus"
