Antidote against this moderne poyson For not onely great and learned Captaines as Alexander and Caesar haue attained to the Empires of the world but also Generals of warre haue profitably vsed the Counsell of learned men for to execute great designes To this purpose Pyrrus said hee wanne more Citties by the industry of his Orator Cineas Plutar. in Pyrrhus then hee tooke by force of armes Yea a sillie Scholler following Regilianus profited him to obtaine the Empire by meanes of his declining Rex Regis making allusion to the name of Regilianus Trebel Pollio in Regill for the Souldiers which were in the Campe taking that for good presage proclaimed him Emperour Such men Alphonsus the Phenix of the Spanish Kings vsed calling vnlearned Princes Golden Flecees added that the dumbe were his best Counsellours meaning bookes that flattered not Kings but told them the truth and reprouing the opinion of one of his Predecessors who thought it vnbeseeming a noble and generous minde to haue learning saith It was the voyce of a brute beast rather then a man The want of which register hath caused that the most generous actions of our ancient Gaules haue remained buried in obliuion or haue bene much lessened by the writings of such as enuied their greatnesse For military actions are renowned to posterity according as the penne of hystory hath extolled the same thus are Achilles and Aeneas made famous by Homer and Virgil and Caesar himselfe by his true testimony And contrariwise they that haue had learning for aduersary remaine in opprobry to posterity Thus the iniury that the Vniuersity of the Athenians receiued by the cruel imposition of foureteene children sent to the King of Creta though otherwise he were in such reputation of iustice that antiquity made him a Iudge in the Elizium yet could hee not obtaine against pen and inke weake instruments in apparance Quaesitor Minos vnam mouet but that hee was dishonoured in his bed and his children Icarus and Minotaure the one an example of vanity the other a prodigious monster and himselfe taxed in his person as perishing miserably It is a worke worthy your Maiesty to establish the Kings Colledge the building vp whereof God hath reserued vnto your Maiesty as hee did the building of the Temple to wise Salomon and doubt not my Lord but that there will bee found Regents sufficiently capable honour nourisheth Artes they haue not hitherto appeared because the Muses could not bee heard during the noise of the Trumpet and sound of the Drumme The nurse-children of the Muses shut vp themselues in the caues of Parnassus and come not at the Court vnlesse they bee sent for But my Lord seeing it is a matter of peopling a royall Colledge there should not bee any Doctors not royall or not for the King nor any that haue taken oath of blind vow to any out of the Kingdome for saith the Gospell No man can serue two Maisters And why should the King maintaine at his charge Professours that will corrupt the syncerity of the affections of his subiects by the poyson of the new Canons of which wee haue quoted some By these two meanes euermore profitable for the State the State shall be preserued till it please God to encrease your Maiesty in age and in all sorts of Spirituall and Temporall blessings that you may gouerne the same in person and remoue away the cause of this euill which I hope for by Gods grace so much the more assuredly as your Maiesty is a liuely purtraiture of those great Kings that haue commanded the people of God succeeding as a yong Iosias to a father murthered by the disloyaltie of some of his subiects as a Salomon to triumphing Dauid his father as a Saint Lewis vnder the Regency of his mother God grant that your Maiesty may accomplish the posie of King Lewis the twelth your predecessour Perdam Babylonis nomen That is I will destroy the name of Babylon seeing that they now renew the like attempts as they did then vnder his raigne To the end that as the most high Monarch of heauen and earth would not employ to such a worke the mighty arme of flesh Henry the Great your father no more then hee did that of Dauid whom hee had destinated vnto battels your Maiesty as a Salomon his sonne by the workes of peace may restore the Gallicane Church by the common voyce of which with bended knees hands lifted vp to heauen and heart to God your Maiesty heareth the like blessing as the Queene of Sheba gaue to Salomon 2. Chron. 9.8 Blessed be the Lord thy God which loued thee to set thee on his throne as King to execute iudgement and iustice And let the Prophesy of Nathan in the highest heauen bee ratified in your Maiesty 2.

Sam. 25.28 that he fought the battels of the Lord hee fortified himselfe with men and armes enquired if the Inhabitants of Keilah would deliuer him to Saul 1. Sam. 23.11 for there can none other thing be gathered there-from but that hee would haue opposed the walles of the Citty against his enemy if hee had bene the stronger in the Citty With like modesty did the Priests behaue themselues towards King Ioram against whom they resisted and shut the gates of Libnah onely for that he would haue forced them commit idolatry for it is written that hee had not onely forsaken the Lord God of his fathers 2. Chron. 21.10.11 but caused the inhabitants of Ierusalem to commit fornication and compelled Iudah thereto Examples far from attempting against the person and state of Kings whose seruants they were the Hebrews in the time of Pharoah the Apostles in the time of Nero the first Christians vnder Iulian the Apostata our Sauiour himselfe the patterne for all the faithfull to imitate was enregistred from the wombe of the holy Virgin payed tribute answered before Pilate and his Apostles before Nero appealed vnto Caesar without shunning the Royall iurisdiction And if it had bene lawfull to attempt against the life of naturall Princes among so many constant Martyrs which haue suffered persecutiō would there not haue bene found some that would haue tryed this meanes for the deliuerance of their brethren Was there not zeale enough in the Apostles to stirre vp their Disciples thereto or eloquence enough in the Euangelists to perswade vnto murders Let then these new Doctors be confounded with shame by the doctrine which euen they teach whom they call Heretikes Art 39. 40. of the confession of the Reformed Churches of France Printed in the end of the booke of the Psalmes who in the midst of fires and massakers haue published their confession in the two last Articles of which are contained these words For this cause he to wit God hath put the sword into the Magistrats hand that he may represse the sinnes committed not onely against the second Table of Gods commandements but also against the first wee must therefore for his sake not onely endure that Superiours rule ouer vs but also honour and esteeme of them in all reuerence holding them for his Liefetenants and Officers to whom he hath giuen in commission to execute a lawfull and an holy function We therefore hold that wee must obey their lawes and statutes pay tributs imposts and other duties and beare the yoke of subiection with a good and free-will although they were Infidels * This condition ought not to be calūniated for it is better to obey God then men as is treated in the next Chapter so that the Soueraigne Empire of God remaine in his entire May it therefore please your Maiesty to iudge that if your Protestant subiects haue beene so firme in their duty towards your Predecessours of whom they haue bene so seuerely entreated that in the midst of torments they haue blessed the King What your Maiesty may expect of them being at this day their Benefactor and Protector and by this degree to acknowledge what your Maiesty is to beleeue concerning their Religion towards their Creator and eternall Redeemer And according to the doctrine of contraries your Maiesty may clerely see that they ingratefull of benefits receiued from the Kings your Predecessors which attempt daily by word writing and by damnable effects against the state person of the Soueraigne armed with such a power as he is that those same without doubt haue before-time enterprised very far against the seruice of their Soueraigne King whose Administrators they haue too longtime bene without rendring account CHAP. II. Wherein the Authority of the Prince consisteth FORASMVCH as in this last age of the world the malice of men is so great that they dispute the cleerest principles bring in new Maximes and call into question things most assured We must deale with them as our Sauiour did with the Pharisies Mat. 19.4.8 to conuince whose errour in matter of diuorce he sendeth them backe to that which was practised in the beginning teaching vs by his example to seeke out the truth in Antiquity and in her originall So doing for the question in hand wee shall finde that God the Creator of heauen earth King of Kings and Lord of Lords Gen. 1. Mat. 28. Apoc. 19. reseruing to himselfe the Empire ouer Spirits for to sound the thoughts dispose the wils and giue law to his creatures hath constituted vnder him a dignity depending of his onely grace which hee hath established on earth for to put in excution his ordinances 1. Tim. 2.2 To the end that wee may lead a peaceable and quiet life in all godlinesse and honesty To the obseruation of which ordinances this Soueraigne power is so much the more obliged for that the Prince sinneth not by transgression onely but also by example whereunto subiects vsually conforme themselues For this cause is he commanded to obserue the Law in these words Deut. 17. Hee shall write for him a Copie of this Law in a booke and after He shall take heed to all the words of this Law and to these statutes for to do them Now this commandement is giuen to the King not as to a priuate person to whom it sufficeth to subiect himselfe to it but as to a king for to reduce others to obedience thereto By vertue whereof he ought to chastise those Ecclesiasticall persons that bee corrupters of true Religion Deut. 13. according as it is written When there shall arise in the midst of thee any Prophet or
