although you were in y e Tower in his time y t was not for any doubt you made of his Supremacie for that you still agnised but for other pointes of Religion touching the ministracion of the Sacramentes wherunto you also agréed at the last promised to professe preache the same in open auditory whersoeuer you should be appointed Wherupon a right woorshipfull gentleman procured your deliueraunce foorth of the Tower and so were you at liberty neuer mencioninge any doubt in this matter but agnising the Princes Supremacie in causes Ecclesiasticall Wherefore I may saulfly say that the ignoraunce and wante of knowledge whiche you pretende in your Minor Proposicion is not of simplicitie and therfore must néedes be of wilfulnes or malice or mixte of bothe The way and meane wherby to haue this ignoraunce remooued you assigne with this issue that when I prooue vnto you by any of the fower meanes y ● any Emperour or Empresse King or Queene may take vppon them any suche gouernment in Spirituall or Ecclesiasticall causes then you wil yéelde take vpon you the knowledge therof be ready to testifie y e same by booke Othe Truely I haue often and many times prooued this same that you require by the selfe same meanes in such sort vnto you that you had nothinge to say to the contrary And yet neuerthelesse you continue stil in your wilfull and malicious ignorance whiche causeth me to feare that this sentence of the holy ghost wilbe verified in you In maleuolam animam non introibit sapientia Yet I will ones againe prooue after your desire euen as it were by puttinge you in remembraunce of those thinges whiche by occasions in conference I often and many times reported vnto you wherof I knowe you are not simply ignoraunt You require a proufe hereof that an Emperour or Emperesse Kinge or Quéene may claime or take vppon them any suche gouernment meanynge as the Quéenes maiestie our Soueraigne doth now chalendge and take vppon her in Spirituall or Ecclesiasticall causes For aunsweare I say they ought to take vppon them suche gouernement therefore they maye lawfully doo it The former parte is founde trewe by the whole discourse of the holy Scriptures bothe of the Olde and newe Testament by the testimony of the Doctours in Christes Churche by the generall Counsailes and by the practise of Christes Catholique Churche thorough out all Christendome The holy Scriptures describinge the condicions and propreties required in a Kinge amongest other doth commaunde that he haue by him the booke of the Lawe and doo diligently occupy him selfe in readinge thereof to the ende he maye thereby learne to feare the Lorde his God that is to haue the feare of God planted within him selfe in his owne harte to keepe all the woordes and to accomplishe in déede all the ordinaunces or as the olde translation hath it all the ceremonies by God commaunded that is to gouerne in suche sorte That he cause by his Princely authoritie his subiectes also to become Israelites To witte menne that see knowe and vnderstande the will of God Redressinge the peruersenes of suche as swerue from Goddes ordinaunces or caeremonies Whereuppon it is that God dothe commaunde the Magistrate that he make diligent examination of the Doctrine taught by any and that he doo sharpely punish bothe the teachers of false and superstitious Religion with the folowers and also remooue quite out of the waye all maner of euill The beste and most godly Princes that euer gouerned Goddes people did perceiue and rightly vnderstande this to be Goddes will that they ought to haue an especiall regarde and care for the orderinge and settinge foorth of Goddes true Religion and therefore vsed great diligence with feruent zeale to perfour●● and accōplishe the same Moses was the supreme gouernour ouer Goddes people was not the chiefe Priest or Bishop for that was Aaron whose authoritie zeale and care in appointinge and orderinge Religion amongest Goddes people prescribinge to al the people yea to Aaron and the Leuites what and after what sorte they shoulde execute their functions correctinge and chasteninge the transgressours is manifestly set foorth in his booke called the Pentateuche After the death of Moses the people as yet not entred and settled in the promised Lande the chardge of chiefe gouernment ouer Goddes people both in causes Temporall and Ecclesiasticall was committed to Iosue and not to Eleazar for to him belonged onely the ministration of the thinges belonginge to the Priestly office And to Iosue the Prince belonged the ouer sight both ouer the Priests and people to gouerne guide order appoint and direct eche estate in all thinges that apperteined to eche of their callinges Of the one yée séeme to haue no doubt at all the other is as plaine For at the appointment of Iosue the Priestes remooued the Arke of couenaunt and placed the same He did interprete vnto the people the spirituall meaninge of the twelue stones whiche they had taken by Goddes commaundement foorth of Iordan to be as Sacramentes or Signes He circūcised the children of Israell at the second time of the great and solempne Circumcision He calleth the Priestes commaundeth some of them to take vp the Lordes Arke other seuen of them to blowe seuen trompettes before the Arke appointeth to them the order of procéedinge He builded an aultar vnto the Lorde God of Israel accordinge to y e Lawe of God he sacrificed theron burnt sacrifices and burnt offringes He wrote there vpon the stones the Deuteronomy of Moses He redde all the blessinges and cursinges as they are set foorth in the booke of the Lawe And he redde all what so euer Moses had commaunded before al the cōgregation of Israel c. Last of al Iosue to shewe that causes of Religion did specially belonge to his charge and care maketh a long and a vehement oration vnto the Israelites wherin he exhorteth them to cleaue vnto the Lorde with a sure faithe a constant hope and a perfect loue obeiynge and seruinge him with suche seruice as he hath appointed in his Lawe And doth zelously and with great threates disswade them from all kynde of Idolatry and false Religion Dauid whom God appointed to be the pastour that is the king ouer Israel to feede his people did vnderstāde that to this pastoral office of a kyng did belong of dutie not only a charge to prouide that the people might be gouerned with iustice and liue in ciuill honestie peace and tranquilite publique and priuate but also to haue a special regarde and care to see them sed with true doctrine and to be fostered vp in the Religion appointed by God him selfe in his Lawe And therfore immediatly after he was with some quietnes setled in his royal seate the first thing that he began to refourme and restore to the right order as a thing y e apperteined especially to his princely charge and care
