A57599	Loyalty and peace, or, Two seasonable discourses from I Sam. 24, 5 viz., David's heart smote him because he cut off Saul's skirt : the first of conscience and its smitings, the second of the prodigious impiety of murthering King Charles I, intended to promote sincere devotion and humiliation upon each anniversary fast for the Late King's death / by Samuel Rolls.	Rolle, Samuel, fl. 1657-1678.	1678 (1678)	Wing R1880; ESTC R25524	110,484	255

stone at him so at once giving him both his death and burial and killing him as it were by burying him that is by burying him alive under a heap of Stones This Punishment did the Law of God award for rebelling but against the Commands of a private Father or Mother even death and such a death If he that rebelled but against the majesty of a private Father or Mother were so punished surely we may allude to what David spoke to Doeg Psal 120. What shall be given unto thee or what shall be done unto thee thou false Tongue who rebellest against the Majesty of a King sharp arrows of the Almighty with Coals of Juniper as it is v. 4. Nay beyond all this if to rebel against the Will and Command of a private Parent were made a capital Crime how much more than capital if a man had any thing dearer to him than life to lose might it justly be made to rebel against the very Life of a King and our own King Hear the Prophet aggravating the sin of Rebellion 1 Sam. 15.23 And Samuel said Rebellion is as the sin of Witchcraft and Stubbornness is as Iniquity and Idolatry Now whereas some may object that that is spoken of Saul 's Rebellion against God not of any Subjects Rebellion against him which is very true yet for as much as they who rebel against the lawful Commands of their lawful Rulers in so doing do rebel against God whose Vicegerents they are whose Image they bear by whom Kings Reign and who are called The ordinance of God Rom 13.2 Hence may they be said to be guilty of Idolatry or Witchcraft or what is as bad who rebel against their lawful Commands but a thousand times more who rebel against the Lives of Gods anointed ones I mean of those Kings whom God hath set over them Then let no Man say Rebellion is no sin unless he think that Idolatry and Witchcraft be no sins neither Why do we read of those who perished in the gainsaying i. e. in the Rebellion of Core Jude 11. if Rebellion be no great sin Core and his Complices were a sort of Rebellious Levellers or Levelling Rebels attempting to overthrow the Government both of Church and State as appeareth by their 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 their gainsaying or contradicting and murmuring against both Moses and Aaron and see what came of them v. 32. The earth opened her mouth and swallowed them up and their houses and all the men that appertained to Corah and all their Goods What had Corah Dathan and Abiram done Had they cut off the Head of Moses and of Aaron no such matter They had only opened their mouths against them and talkt at such a rate as if they had been as good men as they themselves and for that did the Earth open its mouth upon them They and all that appertained to them went down alive into the Pit and the Earth closed upon them and they perished from the Congregation v. 33. Which words give me fit occasion to mention what he whom some have called Our English Seneca meaning Master of the Sentences saith to this purpose Vengeance against Rebels may sleep it cannot die A sure if late judgment attends those that dare to lift up either the hand or tongue against the sacred persons of Gods Vicegerents Nay hear what a greater than he saith Rom. 13.1 2. The Powers that be are ordained of God whosoever therefore resisteth the Power resisteth the ordinance of God and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation Now the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 here translated damnation is put in many places not only for Judgment as some would mince the matter but for Gods eternal wrath and vengeance So Luke 20.47 Acts 24.25 Rom. 2.2 Heb. 6.2 2 Pet. 2.3 1 Cor. 11.29 See Dr. Hammond Thus having proved Perjury High Treason and Rebellion against those who had their hands in murthering of King Charles the First I come in the fourth place to lay Sacriledge to their charge of which I shall easily prove them as guilty as of the three former Now that word Sacriledge is no sooner dropt from my Pen but I sancy that at the first sight thereof some there are that will forthwith charge Superstition upon me for using it looking upon that which we call Sacriledge or upon the notion of Sacriledge as a meer Chimaera or Ens rationis a Bugbear to scare Children For their opinion is that there are but fours sort of Holy things in the World viz. 1. The Holy God Trinity in Vnity c. 2. Holy Angels and Archangels 3. Holy Men and Women or Saints Triumphant in Heaven and Militant upon Earth 4. Holy Ordinances of God such as Prayer Preaching Sacraments c. Now it is very true if we speak concerning the Holiness of Things nothing but the Ordinances of God if ye take that word in the largest sense viz. for Things ordained and instituted of God as holy separate and devoted to himself are holy for God is the Fountain of all kind of holiness as Kings are of all temporal honours But the great mistake of these who make nothing of Sacriledge yea who despise the word Sacriledge lies here by God Ordinances they understand nothing but Scriptures Praying Preaching Hearing Reading Singing of Psalms Sacraments c. These indeed are Ordinances of God but whatsoever else is of Gods ordinaing and appointing as set a part or devoted to himself is Gods Ordinances Also Civil Power and Authority is called the Ordinance of God Rom. 13.2 because ordained of God v. 1. and therefore surely it is in a sense sacred because one of Gods Ordinances Upon that account it was that the Ark of God though but a piece of Wood was called Holy and that we do read so often of Holy days the Sabbath and other festivals yea of holy places yea of the holy of holies or most holy place which was the inmost Temple called the Sanctuary and that Jerusalem is called the Holy City Also of the Holy Vessels that were in the Tabernacle 1 Kings 8.4 And of the Holy Garments made for Aaron and his Sons Exod. 28.3 and 29.29 Hence the Priests and Sons of Aaron are said to be Holy to God by vertue of their Office Levit. 21.8 Yea hence those words Levit. 25.12 It is the Jubile it shall be holy unto thee i. e. it shall be observed as a thing of Gods ordaining and therefore inviolaible and sacred Now in this sense it may be truly nnd soberly said of all Kings as such that they are sacred viz. Because the Powers that are are ordained of God and cannot be resisted but upon pain of damnation because they are the Ordinance of God Rom. 13.2 Now Sacriledge being the violation of sacred things for that all Scholars know to be the true notion of it and the Persons and Authority of Kings being sacred as hath been proved at large they must need● be guilty of notorious Sacriledge
