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.

both_o prince_n and_o private_a person_n mistake_v their_o duty_n and_o so_o prince_n not_o do_v in_o the_o church_n what_o god_n appoint_v they_o other_o and_o even_o of_o their_o subject_n have_v

whilst_o guide_v by_o a_o false_a word_n of_o the_o roman_a bishop_n they_o have_v neglect_v to_o meditate_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o to_o judge_n and_o govern_v according_a to_o its_o

have_v set_v they_o or_o what_o great_a honour_n can_v be_v do_v they_o than_o when_o some_o wicked_a bishop_n will_v depress_v their_o right_n herein_o god_n by_o his_o word_n declare_v his_o

and_o office_n in_o the_o church_n very_o we_o see_v in_o these_o time_n how_o god_n tender_v the_o right_n of_o christian_a prince_n when_o under_o the_o reformation_n as_o he_o on_o the_o one_o

any_o pretence_n whatsoever_o have_v endeavour_v to_o deprive_v they_o thereof_o it_o be_v therefore_o dangerous_a for_o any_o aswell_o for_o prince_n as_o for_o people_n to_o do_v oughts_z against_o the_o will_n of_o god_n as_o he_o have_v reveal_v the_o same_o by_o his_o word_n preserve_v in_o scripture_n true_a it_o be_v that_o many_o be_v not_o suffer_v to_o be_v inform_v hereof_o because_o by_o such_o information_n that_o bishop_n of_o rome_n delusion_n and_o his_o insufferable_a abusion_n will_v be_v discover_v but_o fit_a it_o be_v that_o prince_n know_v their_o right_n and_o people_n their_o duty_n then_o that_o the_o conscience_n of_o both_o be_v missinform_v they_o be_v lead_v thereby_o into_o the_o

do_v the_o proper_a duty_n of_o their_o episcopal_a or_o priestly_a ministration_n or_o which_o occasion_n their_o over_z seldom_o or_o negligent_a do_v the_o same_o that_o be_v ill_o do_v by_o

unpunished_a any_o such_o omission_n or_o neglect_v of_o these_o duty_n these_o thing_n i_o think_v good_a here_o to_o touch_v at_o because_o it_o may_v occasion_v our_o prince_n to_o hold_v god_n 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

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

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

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

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 christ_n and_o he_o shall_v reign_v for_o evermore_o true_a it_o be_v that_o even_o the_o great_a king_n be_v comprehend_v in_o that_o commandment_n heb._n 13.17_o where_o it_o be_v say_v obey_v they_o that_o have_v the_o oversight_n of_o you_o and_o submit_v yourselves_o for_o they_o watch_v for_o your_o soul_n as_o they_o that_o must_v give_v account_n that_o they_o may_v do_v it_o with_o

thing_n whereof_o they_o be_v minister_n but_o this_o may_v be_v without_o bishop_n have_v the_o supreme_a government_n for_o as_o a_o lord_n of_o great_a authority_n in_o a_o kingdom_n must_v obey_v to_o every_o the_o mean_a constable_n of_o a_o kingdom_n within_o his_o precinct_n of_o charge_n &_o in_o that_o wherein_o such_o constable_n be_v endue_v with_o power_n &_o authority_n from_o the_o king_n when_o yet_o this_o make_v not_o such_o lord_n to_o lose_v his_o superiority_n which_o in_o the_o kingdom_n he_o have_v over_o such_o constable_n so_o be_v it_o between_o a_o king_n and_o a_o bishop_n god_n have_v declare_v the_o king_n of_o the_o gentile_n for_o his_o minister_n therefore_o as_o king_n be_v to_o priest_n under_o the_o law_n so_o must_v they_o be_v to_o bishop_n under_o the_o gospel_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a as_o priest_n be_v to_o king_n under_o the_o law_n so_o may_v bishop_n be_v to_o king_n under_o the_o gospel_n the_o king_n under_o the_o law_n leave_v the_o
