the ninth King of that name in France as for wayfairing men to resist and repell theeves cut-throats and wolves nay further I am saith hee of opinion with the old people of Rome that of all good actions the murther of a Tyrant is most commendable Thus farre hee 1577. Came forth the Vindiciae contra Tyrannos Pag. 206. with this resolution That Princes are chosen by God established by the people every private man is subject to the Prince the Multitude and the Officers of State which represent the Multitude are Superiours to the Prince yea they may judge his actions and if hee make resistance punish him by forcible meanes So farre hee 1584. Danaeus finished his booke of Christian policy wherein among many other hee propoundeth and answereth a Noble question Lib. 3. cap. 6. as hee termeth it Nobilis quaestio sequitur A noble question followeth whether it bee lawfull for subjects to change and alter their Government Yea whether it may bee done by godly men with a good conscience his answer is The chiefe Magistrate that notoriously and wilfully violateth the fundamentall Lawes of the Kingdome may bee displaced by godly subjects with a good conscience And this is his reason Reges summique Magistratus Kings and chiefe Magistrates are the Vassals of the Kingdome and of the Common-wealth where they rule Wherefore they may bee dispossessed and dejected when they shall obstinatly attempt any thing against the feudall Lawes of the Kingdome where they governe as Kings and chiefe Magistrates And it is truly said that as a generall Councell is above the Pope so the Kingdome or the Peeres of the Land are above the King Thus farre Danaeus 1585 De jure Reg. pag. 31. George Buchanan proclaimed Rewards as well for murthering Kings as killing Tygers If I saith hee had power to make a Law I would command Tyrants to bee transported from the society of men into some solitary place or else to bee drowned in the bottome of the Sea that the evill savour of dead Tyrants should not annoy living men Further more I would award recompence to bee given for the slaughter of Tyrants not onely of all in generall but of every one in particular as men use to reward them for their paines which kill Wolves or Beares and destroy their young ones Haec ille The same yeare Thomas Cartwright commended Dudley Fenners his Sacra Theologia as they call his booke to the World wherein men are warranted by sundry Texts of Scripture most miserably abused to destroy Tyrants Therein hee following the Common opinion of the Puritans maketh two sorts of Tyrants Tirannus sine titulo Lib. 5. cap. 13. pag. 185. and Tirannus exercitio For the Tyrant without title Hee is confident that any man may cut his throat Huic quisque privatus resistet etiam si potest è medio tollat Let every private man resist him and if hee can take away his life For the Tyrant exercent having described him to bee a Prince that doth wilfully dissolve all or the chiefest compacts of the Common-wealth hee concludeth against him Hunc tollant vel Pacifice vel cum Bello qui ea potestate donati sunt ut Regni Ephori vel omnium ordinum conventus publicus The Peeres of the Kingdome or the publique assembly of States ought to destroy him either by peaceable practises or open warre Haecille Anno. 1588. Hermanus Renecherus published observations upon the first Psalme wherein hee investeth the Presbitery with all the Popes Prerogatives Concerning the Presbiterian power over Kings this is his notable annotation God saith hee hath ordained the Civill Magistrate for the good of the Ecclesiasticall order Pag. 72. therefore the Ecclesiasticall State is the highest throne of Gods earthly Kingdome the supreame seate of all excellency and the chiefest Court wherein God himselfe is president to distribute eternall gifts to his servants Whereas the politicall Empire is but as it were an inferiour bench wherein justice is administred according to the prescription of the Ecclesiasticall soveraignty Thus farre Renecherus Robert Rollocke a man otherwise very learned is carried with the current of this errour and borrowed his affertion of Master Fenner whose words hee expoundeth by way of paraphrasis In Daniel cap. 5. pag. 150. in his commentaries on Daniel printed at Edenborough 1591. Though the chiefe lawfull Magistrate saith Master Rollock doe many things unjustly and tyrannously hee may not rashly bee violated by them especially which have not authority but the Nobles or the publike assembly of States must reduce him to his duty by reproofe and all other lawfull meanes 1 Sam. 14.46 If hee doe still persist in open and desperate tyranny wilfully dissolving all or the chiefest compacts of the Common-wealth private men must not yet meddle with him onely the Peeres or the publike assembly of all States to whom that charge belongeth must provide that the Church and Common-wealth come not to desolation though it cannot otherwise bee done then by the death and destruction of the tyrant Better it is that an evill King bee destroyed then the Church and State together ruined Thus farre Rollock For proofe hee referreth his Reader first to the 1 Sam. 14.46 viz. Then Saul came up from the Philistims and the Philistims went to their owne place ergo Kings that are wicked may bee reduced to their duty by the Peeres or assembly of States according to the rules of the new Puritan logicke Secondly for the killing and destroying of Kings hee referreth his Readers to the 2. Reg. cap. 11. verse 4.5.6.7 which place I thinke hee never vouchsafed to looke upon but set it downe as hee found it quoted in Fenners Divinity from whom hee hath taken all the rest I will make an end with William Bucanus whose Booke was published at the request and with the approbation of Beza and Goulartius maine pillars of the Church of Geneva 1602. Loco 76. pag. 844. They saith Bucanus which have any part of office in the publike administration of the Common-wealth as the Overseers Senatours Consuls Peeres or Tribunes may restraine the insolency of evill Kings Thus farre hee This Puritan dangerous errour is directly repugnant to the Law the Gospell the Precepts of the Apostles the practise of Martyrs and the Doctrine of the Fathers Cōuncels and other classicall Writers as I have proved in the six former Chapters and will more directly shew by the grace of God in my other Booke wherein the holy texts of Scripture which the Papists and Puritans doe damnably abuse against the Ecclesiasticall and Civill authority of Kings shall bee answered by the godly Protestants whose labour God used to reforme his Church since the yeare of our Lord 1517. and by the ancient Fathers and Orthodoxall Writers in every age of the Church This Puritan position which authoriseth Nobles and assemblies of States against wicked Kings is the very assertion of the most seditious Iesuites that have lived in our age as
