A10151	The right of Kings conteyning a defence of their supremacy, over all persons and in all causes, as well ecclesiasticall as civill, within their severall dominions : herewithall is proved by testimony of Holy Scripture, that Christian Kinges are to haue such dignity, and execute such office in the Christian church, as Gods kinges had exercised in the church under the lawe : which part of the mysterie of Gods will, as it hath been wickedly under poperie shut up from men, so it is in our tymes right needfull that the same be opened to all Christian nations.

which_o the_o apostle_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v note_v and_o declare_v unto_o we_o by_o two_o thing_n first_o by_o bear_v the_o sword_n second_o by_o receive_v tribute_n but_o in_o those_o time_n bishop_n bear_v not_o the_o sword_n nor_o receive_v tribute_n but_o king_n and_o independent_a civil_a power_n only_o do_v this_o therefore_o the_o power_n whereof_o the_o apostle_n here_o speak_v be_v not_o bishop_n of_o the_o church_n but_o king_n or_o independent_a civil_a power_n to_o conclude_v then_o see_v the_o apostle_n write_v to_o the_o church_n command_v all_o in_o the_o same_o to_o

priest_n to_o the_o duty_n proper_a to_o their_o ministration_n and_o to_o punish_v in_o they_o any_o omission_n or_o over_o negligent_a performance_n of_o the_o same_o but_o now_o to_o conclude_v this_o point_n prince_n be_v not_o bare_o as_o executioner_n to_o reward_v the_o good_a and_o punish_v evil_a doer_n but_o they_o be_v costitute_v also_o judge_n by_o the_o lord_n that_o they_o also_o may_v judge_v in_o all_o thing_n to_o which_o the_o word_n already_o reveal_v from_o god_n stretch_v and_o very_o even_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n already_o reveal_v be_v preach_v the_o same_o to_o they_o to_o preach_v as_o to_o god_n judge_n of_o doctrine_n preach_v not_o that_o they_o be_v all_o alike_o capable_a of_o judgement_n in_o such_o thing_n but_o that_o this_o be_v the_o right_n of_o their_o office_n which_o also_o for_o conscience_n towards_o god_n must_v be_v have_v in_o reverence_n thus_o have_v i_o prove_v that_o king_n under_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o exercise_v such_o dignity_n and_o ministration_n as_o with_o god_n bless_a approbation_n we_o find_v in_o scripture_n that_o god_n king_n exercise_v under_o the_o law_n as_o therefore_o under_o the_o law_n the_o king_n be_v over_o the_o church_n in_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o jew_n as_o moses_n say_v if_o thou_o say_v i_o will_v set_v a_o king_n over_o i_o etc._n etc._n which_o manner_n supremacy_n the_o king_n under_o the_o law_n do_v in_o fact_n exercise_n and_o hold_v and_o as_o under_o the_o law_n the_o king_n do_v not_o only_o reward_v the_o good_a and_o punish_v the_o evil_a but_o do_v also_o judge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a by_o the_o direction_n of_o the_o word_n give_v he_o restore_v pure_a doctrine_n and_o set_v the_o priest_n and_o levit_n to_o their_o due_a office_n and_o order_v the_o divine_a service_n so_o be_v the_o king_n under_o the_o gospel_n likewise_o to_o do_v be_v over_o the_o church_n in_o their_o several_a dominion_n and_o judge_v of_o what_o be_v good_a and_o evil_a by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o scripture_n and_o restore_a religion_n set_v the_o clergy_n to_o their_o due_a office_n and_o order_v the_o divine_a service_n in_o the_o church_n wherein_o though_o they_o be_v not_o to_o neglect_v not_o the_o advice_n only_o but_o authority_n also_o of_o the_o bishop_n and_o priest_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o to_o take_v for_o their_o direction_n whatsoever_o they_o shall_v advise_v and_o press_v but_o they_o ought_v themselves_o to_o read_v and_o meditate_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o to_o judge_v by_o it_o of_o that_o advise_v and_o urge_v by_o the_o bishop_n these_o thing_n concern_v the_o supremacy_n and_o government_n of_o king_n i_o have_v here_o press_v upon_o the_o observation_n of_o prince_n partly_o to_o stir_v they_o up_o to_o mind_v their_o own_o authority_n in_o the_o church_n partly_o to_o instruct_v all_o christian_a subject_n what_o to_o believe_v concern_v their_o duty_n towards_o prince_n but_o now_o have_v this_o do_v i_o think_v it_o fit_a to_o answer_v in_o the_o next_o place_n one_o or_o two_o objection_n which_o either_o be_v or_o may_v peradventure_o be_v make_v against_o this_o which_o former_o i_o have_v write_v the_o first_o objection_n against_o the_o supremacy_n of_o king_n and_o their_o judge_n in_o all_o cause_n and_o govern_v over_o all_o person_n within_o their_o several_a dominion_n it_o common_o heretofore_o have_v be_v and_o to_o this_o day_n be_v allege_v that_o our_o lord_n commit_v unto_o peter_n to_o be_v continue_v in_o his_o successor_n the_o supreme_a vicariate_a power_n of_o govern_v the_o church_n for_o ever_o this_o opinion_n they_o fortify_v partly_o by_o scripture_n partly_o by_o tradition_n partly_o by_o the_o say_n of_o doctor_n of_o great_a authority_n in_o the_o church_n the_o scripture_n which_o they_o common_o make_v use_v of_o be_v first_o math._n 16.18_o where_o the_o lord_n say_v thus_o unto_o peter_n i_o say_v unto_o thou_o that_o thou_o be_v peter_n and_o upon_o this_o rock_n will_v i_o build_v my_o church_n and_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o overcome_v it_o second_o john_n 21.15_o where_o again_o the_o lord_n say_v thus_o unto_o the_o same_o apostle_n simon_n the_o son_n of_o jona_n love_v thou_o i_o he_o say_v unto_o he_o yea_o lord_n thou_o know_v that_o i_o love_v thou_o he_o say_v unto_o he_o feed_v my_o lamb_n he_o say_v unto_o he_o again_o the_o second_o time_n simon_n the_o son_n of_o jona_n love_v thou_o i_o he_o say_v unto_o he_o yea_o lord_n thou_o know_v that_o i_o love_v thou_o he_o say_v unto_o he_o feed_v my_o sheep_n he_o say_v unto_o he_o the_o three_o time_n simon_n the_o son_n of_o jona_n love_v thou_o i_o peter_n be_v sorry_a because_o he_o say_v unto_o he_o the_o three_o time_n love_v thou_o i_o and_o he_o say_v unto_o he_o lord_n thou_o know_v all_o thing_n thou_o know_v that_o i_o love_v thou_o jesus_n say_v unto_o he_o feed_v my_o sheep_n from_o both_o these_o scripture_n they_o collect_v that_o the_o apostle_n peter_n shall_v feed_v all_o the_o lord_n sheep_n for_o ever_o both_o with_o doctrine_n and_o government_n therefore_o all_o the_o lord_n sheep_n must_v receive_v from_o this_o apostle_n their_o doctrine_n and_o power_n or_o office_n that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v build_v upon_o the_o rock_n of_o this_o apostle_n approbation_n or_o allowance_n and_o because_o the_o apostle_n be_v to_o do_v this_o for_o ever_o therefore_o after_o his_o death_n this_o must_v be_v do_v by_o his_o successor_n the_o pope_n of_o rome_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o they_o seek_v the_o pope_n approbation_n of_o all_o doctrine_n and_o receive_v their_o episcopal_a authority_n from_o he_o yea_o king_n also_o receive_v kingdom_n of_o he_o but_o now_o i_o will_v in_o the_o next_o place_n discover_v the_o fallacy_n of_o this_o collection_n show_v that_o these_o scripture_n be_v not_o so_o to_o be_v understand_v neither_o do_v intend_v any_o such_o matter_n and_o i_o think_v fit_a to_o write_v first_o of_o the_o latter_a scripture_n because_o the_o false_a use_n make_v thereof_o be_v discover_v it_o will_v the_o more_o easy_o appear_v that_o they_o make_v a_o false_a use_n of_o the_o first_o scripture_n also_o if_o from_o the_o lord_n word_n in_o say_v to_o peter_n feed_v my_o lamb_n feed_v my_o sheep_n it_o be_v collect_v that_o peter_n must_v feed_v all_o christ_n sheep_n and_o this_o also_o both_o with_o doctrine_n and_o government_n than_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n as_o well_o as_o any_o other_o must_v be_v thus_o feed_v by_o peter_n see_v they_o also_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o lord_n sheep_n but_o see_v feed_v be_v take_v in_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n for_o the_o receive_n of_o doctrine_n from_o he_o or_o ground_v upon_o the_o authority_n of_o his_o approbation_n and_o see_v feed_v in_o matter_n of_o government_n be_v take_v for_o a_o bear_a rule_n over_o all_o christ_n sheep_n and_o that_o all_o power_n or_o office_n ecclesiastical_a and_o civil_a be_v to_o be_v derive_v from_o he_o or_o ground_v upon_o the_o authority_n of_o his_o approbation_n therefore_o i_o be_o to_o prove_v by_o testimony_n of_o holy_a scripture_n that_o we_o be_v not_o thus_o to_o understand_v the_o lord_n in_o this_o speech_n of_o he_o for_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n receive_v not_o their_o doctrine_n from_o peter_n but_o from_o the_o lord_n christ_n even_o as_o peter_n himself_o do_v neither_o be_v they_o to_o ground_n or_o build_v that_o upon_o the_o authority_n of_o peter_n approbation_n which_o they_o receive_v immediate_o from_o the_o lord_n therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o feed_v by_o peter_n in_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n moreover_o the_o apostle_n paul_n galat._n 1.11_o testify_v say_v i_o certify_v you_o brethren_n that_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v preach_v of_o i_o be_v not_o after_o man_n for_o neither_o receive_v i_o it_o of_o man_n neither_o be_v i_o teach_v it_o but_o by_o the_o revelation_n of_o jesus_n christ._n by_o this_o testimony_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o apostle_n peter_n feed_v not_o the_o apostle_n paul_n with_o doctrine_n but_o rather_o
