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.

they_o be_v god_n minister_n to_o punish_v he_o that_o do_v evil_a how_o be_v any_o evil_a doer_n exempt_v from_o this_o minister_n sword_n and_o if_o none_o than_o no_o bishop_n do_v evil_a but_o

doer_n thus_o have_v brief_o show_v the_o thing_n most_o evident_a in_o this_o scripture_n i_o proceed_v to_o a_o yet_o further_o open_v of_o this_o scripture_n unto_o you_o you_o see_v here_o that_o prince_n who_o office_n proper_o it_o be_v to_o bear_v the_o sword_n and_o to_o receive_v tribute_n be_v declare_v by_o the_o apostle_n to_o be_v god_n minister_n for_o so_o the_o apostle_n say_v he_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n for_o thy_o wealth_n and_o again_o he_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n to_o take_v vengeance_n on_o he_o that_o do_v evil_a now_o prince_n bear_v the_o sword_n and_o receive_v tribute_n be_v king_n or_o independent_a power_n or_o state_n who_o god_n not_o any_o bishop_n nor_o the_o church_n order_v to_o this_o independency_n or_o sovereignty_n in_o power_n for_o so_o the_o apostle_n will_v have_v we_o to_o understand_v when_o he_o say_v there_o be_v no_o power_n but_o of_o god_n therefore_o whosoever_o resist_v the_o power_n resist_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o they_o that_o resist_v shall_v receive_v to_o themselves_o judgement_n and_o it_o be_v the_o apostle_n strong_a argument_n that_o because_o prince_n be_v allow_v of_o by_o god_n as_o for_o his_o minister_n therefore_o of_o conscience_n towards_o god_n &_o not_o for_o fear_v of_o wrath_n only_o we_o must_v be_v subject_a now_o then_o see_v god_n gracious_o accept_v of_o the_o king_n among_o the_o gentile_n as_o for_o his_o minister_n what_o ministration_n be_v approve_v of_o in_o their_o hand_n by_o the_o lord_n but_o the_o kingly_a for_o god_n accept_v of_o they_o as_o king_n and_o not_o as_o private_a person_n only_o he_o declare_v himself_o hereby_o to_o approve_v of_o their_o exercise_v upon_o earth_n the_o kingly_a ministration_n for_o he_o that_o accept_v they_o as_o for_o minister_n allow_v in_o they_o a_o ministration_n and_o what_o ministration_n allow_v he_o in_o king_n but_o the_o kingly_a therefore_o it_o be_v a_o point_n of_o christian_a faith_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n to_o believe_v of_o the_o sovereign_a king_n and_o prince_n which_o the_o gospel_n find_v among_o the_o gentile_n that_o god_n accept_v of_o they_o as_o for_o his_o king_n to_o serve_v he_o in_o the_o kingly_a ministration_n it_o be_v command_v to_o the_o church_n under_o the_o law_n deut._n 17.14_o that_o if_o it_o will_v set_v a_o king_n over_o it_o it_o shall_v not_o then_o take_v liberty_n to_o its_o self_n to_o set_v this_o or_o that_o person_n over_o its_o self_n but_o shall_v wait_v upon_o god_n to_o set_v he_o over_o it_o who_o the_o lord_n shall_v choose_v for_o so_o we_o read_v there_o in_o these_o word_n when_o thou_o shall_v come_v into_o the_o land_n which_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n give_v thou_o and_o shall_v possess_v it_o and_o dwell_v therein_o if_o thou_o say_v i_o will_v set_v a_o king_n over_o i_o like_a as_o all_o the_o nation_n that_o be_v about_o i_o than_o thou_o shall_v make_v he_o king_n over_o thou_o who_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n shall_v choose_v it_o be_v no_o small_a matter_n therefore_o to_o the_o church_n of_o god_n to_o yield_v its_o self_n to_o any_o as_o for_o its_o king_n for_o if_o it_o wait_v not_o upon_o god_n election_n it_o sure_o transgress_v grievous_o against_o god_n therefore_o the_o christian_a church_n also_o as_o it_o be_v not_o hand_n over_o head_n at_o its_o pleasure_n to_o set_v king_n over_o its_o self_n so_o it_o be_v to_o acknowledge_v and_o obey_v the_o king_n and_o prince_n already_o reign_v over_o the_o nation_n whereinto_o it_o stretch_v as_o for_o king_n already_o provide_v for_o it_o by_o the_o order_n and_o ordinance_n of_o the_o lord_n this_o approve_v therefore_o of_o the_o king_n and_o prince_n which_o the_o gospel_n find_v reign_v over_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o

here_o and_o there_o and_o the_o church_n be_v subject_v to_o receive_v and_o acknowledge_v those_o who_o god_n permit_v to_o atteyne_v to_o sovereignty_n in_o this_o nation_n or_o in_o that_o prince_n therefore_o may_v by_o diverse_a mean_n attain_v to_o sovereignty_n and_o the_o nation_n may_v here_o and_o there_o change_v from_o one_o to_o another_o as_o occasion_n shall_v be_v give_v but_o the_o church_n as_o the_o church_n must_v not_o set_v over_o its_o self_n a_o king_n or_o king_n but_o must_v wait_v upon_o god_n acknowledge_v they_o that_o attain_v to_o the_o sovereignty_n of_o power_n here_o or_o there_o but_o now_o god_n approve_v of_o the_o king_n which_o the_o gospel_n find_v reign_v over_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o gentile_n as_o for_o his_o minister_n what_o follow_v but_o that_o he_o approve_v in_o they_o a_o exercise_v the_o kingly_a ministration_n and_o what_o can_v be_v more_o true_o the_o kingly_a ministration_n then_o that_o which_o god_n king_n before_o time_n allow_v by_o god_n exercise_v in_o the_o church_n under_o the_o law_n for_o where_o there_o be_v no_o new_a description_n of_o the_o ministration_n there_o the_o same_o ministration_n before_o approve_a of_o by_o god_n in_o his_o king_n serve_v for_o a_o example_n of_o the_o kingly_a ministration_n wherefore_o see_v god_n accept_v of_o king_n as_o king_n for_o his_o minister_n it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o those_o king_n exercise_n such_o ministration_n as_o with_o god_n approbation_n god_n king_n before_o time_n exercise_v i_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o the_o king_n or_o

and_o for_o the_o punishment_n of_o evil_a doer_n so_o the_o

fierce_a wrath_n of_o god_n by_o their_o do_v thing_n contrary_a to_o his_o sacred_a mind_n the_o consideration_n whereof_o provoke_v i_o to_o the_o write_n of_o this_o treatise_n that_o so_o i_o

in_o conscience_n with_o that_o which_o true_o be_v make_v manifest_a therefrom_o in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n chap._n 13._o verse_n 1_o we_o thus_o read_v let_v every_o soul_n be_v

the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o they_o that_o resist_v shall_v receive_v to_o themselves_o judgement_n for_o prince_n be_v not_o to_o be_v fear_v for_o good_a work_n but_o for_o evil_a will_v thou_o then_o be_v without_o fear_n of_o the_o power_n do_v well_o so_o shall_v thou_o have_v praise_n of_o the_o same_o for_o he_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n for_o thy_o wealth_n but_o if_o

the_o direction_n of_o the_o epistle_n have_v chap._n 1._o verse_n 7._o these_o word_n to_o all_o you_o that_o be_v at_o rome_n belove_v of_o god_n call_v to_o be_v saint_n etc._n etc._n the_o close_a

it_o argue_v he_o write_v to_o the_o church_n at_o rome_n therefore_o also_o the_o charge_n concern_v subjection_n be_v give_v to_o all_o that_o be_v then_o in_o the_o church_n at_o rome_n wherefore_o unless_o we_o will_v be_v disobedient_a to_o this_o charge_n of_o the_o apostle_n or_o unless_o we_o will_v prefer_v the_o now_o bishop_n and_o clergy_n of_o rome_n to_o these_o who_o be_v notable_a even_o among_o the_o apostle_n of_o the_o lord_n we_o ought_v not_o to_o exempt_v the_o now_o clergy_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n from_o yield_a submission_n to_o the_o high_a power_n thus_o have_v show_v to_o who_o this_o charge_n concern_v subjection_n be_v give_v proceed_v we_o to_o consider_v of_o what_o kind_n of_o power_n the_o apostle_n here_o speak_v the_o kind_n of_o power_n 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 be_v subject_a to_o the_o high_a power_n and_o see_v by_o those_o high_a power_n he_o mean_v those_o who_o bear_v the_o sword_n and_o receive_v tribute_n that_o be_v the_o emperor_n king_n and_o

tribute_n that_o be_v king_n and_o sovereign_a prince_n it_o be_v therefore_o the_o manifest_a will_n of_o god_n that_o the_o power_n of_o christian_a church_n shall_v be_v subject_a to_o king_n and_o sovereign_n civil_a state_n as_o to_o the_o high_a power_n by_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n for_o this_o rule_n of_o the_o apostle_n here_o set_v down_o must_v be_v take_v for_o a_o rule_n unto_o

the_o church_n power_n and_o ministration_n to_o which_o the_o apostle_n write_v i_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o see_v the_o apostle_n write_v to_o a_o christian_a church_n command_v subjection_n to_o some_o as_o to_o high_a power_n therefore_o of_o the_o two_o power_n that_o of_o the_o church_n i_o mean_v and_o that_o of_o prince_n the_o power_n of_o prince_n be_v the_o high_a by_o the_o

this_o objection_n also_o i_o will_v now_o conclude_v this_o treatise_n with_o a_o exhortation_n to_o subject_n a_o exhortation_n to_o subiest_n see_v god_n reveil_v his_o will_n by_o his_o apostle_n declare_v himself_o to_o accept_v gracious_o of_o the_o king_n and_o prince_n already_o among_o the_o gentile_n as_o king_n and_o prince_n already_o provide_v for_o the_o church_n among_o the_o

approve_a of_o dignity_n and_o government_n of_o god_n king_n in_o the_o church_n under_o the_o law_n therefore_o it_o behove_v all_o man_n to_o yield_v they_o due_a subjection_n obey_v they_o willing_o as_o god_n minister_n in_o all_o thing_n wherein_o we_o find_v god_n king_n under_o the_o law_n obey_v with_o the_o lord_n approbation_n as_o under_o the_o law_n therefore_o king_n be_v over_o the_o priest_n exercise_v authority_n over_o they_o both_o in_o set_v they_o to_o their_o due_a office_n if_o they_o neglect_v they_o and_o also_o in_o punish_v they_o for_o evil_a do_v 1._o chron._n 2.26_o so_o if_o king_n in_o the_o christian_a church_n do_v likewise_o christian_a people_n ought_v to_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o king_n be_v by_o god_n ordinance_n thus_o to_o do_v again_o if_o christian_a king_n take_v care_n of_o doctrine_n also_o see_v to_o it_o that_o bishop_n and_o teacher_n teach_v according_a to_o god_n word_n or_o if_o they_o order_v the_o divine_a service_n according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n reveil_v in_o his_o word_n and_o in_o a_o word_n if_o they_o see_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n observe_v aswell_o in_o ecclesiastical_a as_o civil_a

use_v this_o ministration_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n within_o his_o own_o dominion_n let_v not_o man_n be_v lead_v away_o of_o that_o romish_a delusion_n by_o which_o king_n be_v debar_v from_o exercise_v in_o the_o church_n the_o dignity_n &_o office_n of_o god_n king_n in_o the_o church_n under_o the_o law_n disobey_v their_o prince_n in_o their_o use_v their_o authority_n in_o these_o thing_n see_v in_o all_o these_o thing_n the_o scripture_n witness_v that_o god_n king_n under_o the_o law_n exercise_v their_o authority_n but_o rather_o let_v man_n with_o comfort_n of_o

make_v conscience_n of_o thing_n as_o our_o teacher_n teach_v we_o then_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o you_o by_o evil_a teacher_n be_v lead_v to_o do_v evil_a in_o disobey_v the_o lawful_a thing_n do_v by_o your_o king_n it_o will_v not_o serve_v for_o defence_n of_o the_o evil_a to_o say_v your_o teacher_n teach_v you_o so_o for_o by_o what_o mean_v soever_o you_o do_v evil_a the_o king_n be_v god_n minister_n to_o punish_v you_o for_o evil_n do_v you_o must_v beware_v therefore_o of_o false_a teacher_n that_o you_o be_v not_o lead_v by_o they_o as_o their_o disciple_n into_o error_n act._n 20.30_o and_o you_o have_v a_o charge_n give_v you_o by_o the_o apostle_n 2_o thes_n 2._o 15_o that_o you_o be_v not_o move_v by_o any_o from_o that_o which_o in_o scripture_n be_v receive_v from_o the_o apostle_n remember_v how_o the_o apostle_n peter_n 1_o pet._n 4.15_o exhort_v you_o say_v let_v none_o of_o you_o suffer_v as_o a_o evil_a doer_n but_o be_v you_o not_o evil_a doer_n if_o you_o
