unjust 63 If any thing be commanded which seems hard and grievous to be born yet we must beare it But if that which is commanded be impious and unjust we are bound not to obey it 64 We owe Tribute unto Kings and Magistrates because they labour for us because they rule and govern us and because they defend us 65 But here a due moderation is required For the tribute must be such as the Subjects are well able to pay and such as the necessitie of the commonwealth requires 66 Here the question is moved whether that place 1. Sam. 8. is to be understood of Right or Custome It may be answered by distinguishing between the Necessitie of Government and the Pleasure of the King 67 Prayers also are a due which subjects are to pay unto kings and those that are in authoritie as the Apostle teacheth expressely 1. Tim. 2.2 68 It was well said by B●genhagius That if we were as ready to pray for the Magistrates as we are to d●●ract from them then certainly things would go better with us and it would be the better for us 69 The Hebrew Rabbies have such a saying as this Wo unto tha● people which bury their own Lords Rabb Solomon Jar in Comment Hos. 1. 70 And Antigonus after his death is often digged up again by his Subjects 71 And thus much concerning the Politicall Order or Civill State That which remains concerns the Politicall Doctrine 72 God who establisheth kingdomes grant unto all Christian Kings Princes and Governours peace and tranquillity both in body and minde here in this life and eternall salvation both of body and soul in the life to come Amen CHAP. XXII Wherein are contained Theologicall Aphorismes concerning WEDLOCK OR MARRIAGE WEdlock is a state which was ordained by God even then when man stood in his integritie and before his fall 2 Marriage is honourable in all and the bed undefiled Heb. 13.4 3 But to speak properly and accurately it is no Sacrament according to the definition which is given unto Baptisme and the Lords Supper 4 For it wants the externall and visible element according to Gods institution and likewise it wants the promise which is proper to the Gospell 5 But if we speak generally and in a large sense so it may be called a Sacrament that is a signe of an holy thing Ephes. 5.32 6 The proper place and seat of the doctrine concerning marriage is to be found in Gen. 2.18 c. 7 Unto which Christ calling us back Matth. 19.5 sheweth that the answer and solution of all questions and doubts concerning Marriage is to be fetcht from that place 8 There it is taught that Marriage is the lawfull indissoluble knot and joyning together of two onely to wit the man and the woman 9 There Digamie and Polygamie that is having two wives or more is against the institution of marriage 10 Digamie is not when a man after the death of the first woman marrieth a second but when a man at the same time hath two wives Chrysost. in 1. Tim. 3. 11 For neither are second marriages nor third nor more then these forbidden by the Holy Ghost if so be that those that marry marry in the Lord. 12 Again The woman after the death of her first husband may be married again as before and yet oftener 13 God tolerated in the fathers in the Old Testament Polygamie or having many wives but he no where commanded it 14 God tolerated it I say not for unbridled lusts sake but for propagating of the Church and promoting the promise concerning the blessed ●eed 15 And so God used that which was evill in them to a good end 16 That the Marriage-knot may be lawfull there is required the mutuall consent of both parties 17 Therefore there must be no violence used neither must there be any errour especially such as toucheth the substantialls of marriage 18 The Consent which is required must be lawfull honest just free full and sincere 19 But though we said there must not be any errour yet if the faith be once pledged and the promise of marriage once made it is not to be broken upon every errour 20 Neither is the Contract to be made void and of none effect for want of every condition which is required in the Consent 21 And further the Consent of the parties is without force and efficacie if there be not also the Consent of their parents 22 And therefore we say that the Consent of the parents is as well required as the mutuall Consent of the parties and that not onely for honesties sake but also for necessitie 23 And this we say following the authoritie of the Divine Naturall and Civill law 24 Which also some Canons of the Pontificiall law especially the more ancient do approve 25 If the Parents forget the duty which they owe unto their children or if they will abuse their power the Magistrate is to succeed into the place of the parents 26 Unto the lawfull joyning together in Matrimonie this is also required that the degrees of kindred be not violated 27 Who may lawfully be joyned together in Matrimonie and who are forbidden we are taught in Leviticus chapt 18 and 20. by an expresse limitation of degrees both of Consanguinitie and Affinitie 28 Which Texts we say are to be taken and understood not onely of the Persons but also of the Degrees 29 And we expresly and plainly affirme that these are the Constitutions of the Law of Nature 30 In these therefore there is no place for Dispensation 31 To these Divine Lawes not without good and wholesome counsell and advice for greater reverence there are also added by godly Magistrates Prohibitions even to the third degree of an unequall line 32 Which we also hold fit to be observed but yet so that upon a good and probable cause they may be relaxed 33 But still there must be a Proviso or care had that Dispensation be not turned into Dissipation 34 In the Computation or reckoning of the Degrees we follow the Disposition and order of the Canon● 35 Not that we acknowledge our selves to be bound unto the Canons of the Pontificiall Law but because herein it is sound and good 36 In a right line there is given this Rule As many as the Persons are so many are the Degrees excepting one 37 In a Collaterall equall Line this Rule is given As many degrees as one Person is distant from the stock so many degrees is it distant from the other 38 In a Collaterall unequall Line In what degree the Person more remote is distant from the stock in that likewise it is distant from the other 39 In respect of Affinitie also some there are which are not to be married together 40 But this Affinitie which hindreth marriage doth not stretch it self farre 41 For betweene the kindred of the husband and the kindred of the wife there is no such Affinitie but that they may marry one another 42 But betweene the
