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.	Procter, Thomas.	1621 (1621)	STC 20410; ESTC S1281	21,909	36

by_o a_o other_o judgement_n see_v god_n have_v make_v they_o judge_n and_o give_v they_o his_o word_n to_o direct_v their_o judgement_n as_o therefore_o their_o office_n stretch_v to_o reform_v

what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v what_o not_o what_o well_o what_o evil_o do_v if_o any_o will_v say_v that_o now_o i_o sow_v the_o seed_n of_o grievous_a tribulation_n to_o god_n church_n see_v i_o make_v

than_o i_o answer_v if_o the_o apostle_n teach_v this_o doctrine_n of_o they_o imply_v in_o his_o declare_v that_o god_n accept_v they_o for_o his_o minister_n even_o whilst_o as_o yet_o they_o be_v

as_o the_o apostle_n in_o those_o acknowledge_v unto_o prince_n their_o right_n and_o power_n yea_o though_o they_o execute_v not_o their_o ministry_n right_o but_o persecute_v rather_o the_o saint_n and_o church_n of_o god_n for_o it_o become_v christian_n to_o acknowledge_v their_o right_n yea_o when_o they_o do_v not_o according_a to_o right_n but_o be_v rather_o enemy_n as_o yet_o and_o

god_n but_o if_o we_o suffer_v for_o well_o do_v they_o be_v negligent_a to_o read_v the_o word_n or_o to_o judge_v we_o by_o it_o let_v we_o take_v to_o we_o the_o comfort_n of_o the_o apostle_n peter_n where_o 1._o pet._n 2-20_a he_o say_v if_o when_o you_o do_v well_o you_o suffer_v wrong_a and_o take_v it_o patient_o this_o be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n this_o gracious_a consolation_n against_o the_o affliction_n lay_v upon_o we_o by_o misguide_a or_o misjudging_a prince_n shall_v be_v our_o refuge_n as_o it_o be_v the_o refuge_n of_o god_n saint_n in_o those_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n yet_o here_o i_o think_v fit_a to_o put_v man_n in_o mind_n that_o wherein_o god_n word_n preserve_v do_v not_o speak_v for_o we_o there_o we_o who_o suffer_v bear_v our_o own_o burden_n and_o hurt_n for_o we_o ought_v to_o prefer_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n judge_n before_o we_o though_o we_o prefer_v just_o god_n word_n itself_o to_o their_o err_a in_o the_o use_n make_v of_o it_o for_o god_n word_n which_o be_v plain_a or_o indeed_o true_o collect_v let_v we_o suffer_v if_o our_o king_n err_a will_v persecute_v we_o for_o our_o faith_n and_o order_v of_o thing_n according_a thereto_o but_o let_v we_o not_o suffer_v for_o maintenance_n of_o our_o own_o judgement_n only_o oppose_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n minister_n true_a it_o be_v that_o king_n and_o prince_n may_v and_o in_o fact_n have_v err_v and_o this_o also_o in_o thing_n wherein_o they_o think_v themselves_o free_a to_o do_v with_o their_o own_o what_o they_o will_v therefore_o prince_n may_v do_v well_o in_o such_o thing_n to_o admit_v of_o wholesome_a counsel_n rather_o than_o to_o go_v on_o in_o do_v evil_a through_o error_n some_o prince_n think_v themselves_o free_a to_o

only_o not_o dare_v to_o be_v themselves_o judge_n in_o these_o thing_n but_o such_o honour_v be_v not_o acceptable_a to_o god_n see_v themselves_o neglect_v the_o office_n of_o judge_v which_o god_n have_v entrust_v to_o they_o as_o well_o as_o to_o priest_n other_o have_v in_o way_n of_o honour_n free_v the_o clergy_n from_o be_v subject_a to_o be_v judge_v and_o punish_v by_o themselves_o unless_o by_o the_o pope_n or_o other_o chief_a among_o the_o clergy_n they_o be_v give_v up_o to_o the_o secular_a power_n but_o this_o kind_n of_o honour_v also_o be_v evil_a inasmuch_o as_o prince_n exercise_v not_o that_o power_n and_o authority_n to_o judge_v and_o punish_v the_o clergy_n for_o evil_a do_v as_o god_n king_n in_o the_o church_n under_o the_o law_n do_v other_o again_o by_o way_n of_o honour_n to_o priest_n have_v employ_v they_o so_o in_o civil_a court_n of_o justice_n as_o that_o they_o have_v not_o yea_o have_v not_o be_v able_a thenceforth_o to_o perform_v the_o

a_o confusion_n and_o a_o inversion_n of_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n to_o make_v one_o minister_n minister_n of_o both_o it_o have_v be_v a_o evil_a collection_n make_v by_o some_o that_o what_o

office_n prerogative_n or_o dignity_n which_o himself_o as_o a_o apostle_n have_v receive_v of_o the_o lord_n christ_n moreover_o see_v the_o lord_n apostle_n be_v the_o lord_n governor_n set_v over_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o ecclesiastical_a governor_n of_o the_o church_n how_o unfit_a be_v it_o to_o conceive_v that_o the_o successor_n only_o of_o a_o apostle_n shall_v be_v governor_n over_o any_o apostle_n but_o some_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o apostle_n john_n remain_v long_o after_o the_o death_n of_o the_o apostle_n peter_n if_o therefore_o the_o successor_n of_o peter_n have_v a_o vicariate_a power_n to_o govern_v and_o rule_v over_o all_o christ_n sheep_n then_o must_v he_o be_v this_o to_o the_o apostle_n john_n but_o what_o manner_n unsufferable_a ambition_n this_o favour_n of_o i_o leave_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o all_o man_n let_v we_o therefore_o rather_o believe_v that_o if_o the_o apostle_n peter_n appoint_v his_o successor_n than_o yet_o he_o confer_v not_o upon_o he_o neither_o all_o the_o gift_n by_o which_o himself_o be_v a_o apostle_n nor_o all_o the_o power_n ministerial_a nor_o dignity_n which_o as_o be_v a_o apostle_n and_o one_o of_o the_o chief_a among_o the_o apostle_n he_o hold_v and_o enjoy_v in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n but_o only_o as_o paul_n upon_o timothy_n and_o titus_n he_o confer_v a_o portion_n of_o power_n and_o charge_n such_o as_o a_o successor_n may_v be_v capable_a of_o to_o conclude_v see_v no_o apostle_n can_v confer_v upon_o a_o other_o man_n all_o the_o gift_n office_n and_o dignity_n which_o himself_o enjoy_v as_o a_o apostle_n therefore_o the_o successor_n must_v be_v a_o minister_n of_o a_o far_o inferior_a rank_n dignity_n and_o charge_n of_o government_n in_o the_o church_n than_o be_v the_o apostle_n peter_n himself_o now_o then_o why_o shall_v not_o such_o a_o minister_n though_o he_o be_v successor_n to_o that_o apostle_n subject_n himself_o to_o the_o supreme_a government_n of_o god_n king_n so_o witness_v unto_o by_o holy_a scripture_n as_o before_o i_o have_v show_v thus_o have_v answer_v this_o objection_n let_v we_o proceed_v to_o a_o other_o the_o second_o objection_n some_o peradventure_o may_v object_v say_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n come_v in_o among_o the_o gentile_n by_o apostle_n and_o bishop_n it_o be_v a_o subiect_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n to_o the_o power_n of_o this_o world_n if_o we_o maintain_v not_o the_o supreme_a government_n to_o remain_v in_o bishop_n and_o special_o in_o the_o apostle_n peter_n successor_n if_o any_o shall_v thus_o object_v than_o i_o answer_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n comprehend_v all_o power_n as_o the_o lord_n say_v math._n 28.18_o all_o power_n be_v give_v i_o in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n the_o power_n apostolical_a and_o episcopal_a must_v not_o be_v take_v for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n as_o if_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n have_v in_o it_o none_o other_o power_n than_o it_o but_o you_o see_v that_o i_o have_v show_v before_o that_o there_o be_v the_o power_n of_o king_n in_o the_o earth_n which_o it_o please_v god_n to_o allow_v and_o confirm_v accept_v gracious_o also_o of_o they_o as_o for_o his_o minister_n now_o though_o in_o god_n the_o fountain_n of_o power_n all_o power_n be_v alike_o as_o water_n in_o a_o fountain_n yet_o in_o distribute_v of_o that_o power_n into_o ministerial_a stream_n the_o lord_n may_v ordain_v which_o part_n to_o which_o shall_v be_v subordinate_a therefore_o see_v afore_o i_o have_v show_v that_o the_o apostle_n paul_n call_v the_o minister_n of_o the_o sword_n the_o high_a power_n and_o see_v i_o have_v before_o prove_v that_o these_o power_n be_v allow_v by_o god_n as_o for_o his_o minister_n and_o consequent_o be_v to_o exercise_v such_o dignity_n and_o office_n in_o the_o church_n as_o god_n king_n exercise_v in_o the_o church_n under_o the_o law_n and_o last_o see_v all_o the_o scripture_n show_v that_o those_o king_n be_v over_o all_o the_o church_n exercise_v a_o supreme_a government_n over_o all_o ecclesiastical_a person_n therefore_o i_o say_v it_o be_v no_o subject_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n to_o the_o power_n of_o this_o world_n to_o subject_v the_o bishop_n of_o the_o church_n to_o god_n king_n and_o sovereign_a state_n bishop_n be_v minister_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o they_o be_v not_o all_o the_o minister_n thereof_o for_o king_n also_o be_v declare_v by_o the_o gospel_n to_o be_v minister_n of_o the_o same_o see_v god_n have_v declare_v himself_o to_o accept_v of_o they_o as_o for_o his_o minister_n therefore_o to_o subject_v one_o kind_n of_o officer_n of_o a_o kingdom_n to_o a_o other_o officer_n be_v not_o to_o subject_v the_o kingdom_n to_o a_o other_o kingdom_n bishop_n preach_v the_o word_n to_o these_o to_o subdue_v they_o to_o christ_n but_o be_v subdue_v by_o the_o word_n minister_v bishop_n may_v not_o say_v the_o kingdom_n of_o this_o world_n be_v we_o and_o we_o will_v dispose_v of_o they_o but_o they_o must_v say_v as_o rev._n 11.15_o the_o kingdom_n of_o this_o world_n be_v our_o lord_n and_o his_o
