suffered the doctrine of the Nicolaitans The good kings are noted in scripture because they tooke not away the high places O rem miseram Dominum ferre non potuimus seruo seruimus O wofull case we could not abide the master now we serue his seruantes Papae mortuo parebimus quem viuum ferre non potuimus shall wee obey the Pope beeing dead seeing we could not endure him aliue Fiftly magistrates are called gods to teach them that they should execute gods iudgments vpon such as God will haue punished God will haue Blasphemers to be punished so likewise should the magistrate punish them Doth not this land as Ieremy saith mourne for othes 23. 10. is not swearing the language of many what other tongue can many speake It is not onely a courtly but also a country sinne Ludouicus as one reporteth when he heard one sweare seered his lippes with an hot iron If all swearers as they deserue were thus handled they would not so horribly abuse the name of the great god of heauen and earth O worme thou that art but dust and ashes how darest thou vse the name of God without reuerence Assure thy selfe God will take vengeance vpon thee without repentance Againe God will haue Adulterers to be punished so likewise should Magistrates punish them Parthi saith Iustine nulla delicta grauius puniunt quàm adulteria the Parthians punish no sinne more greeuously then adultery How they are punished with vs I appeale to mens owne consciences The Locrians pull out the eyes of Adulterers the Arabians punish them with death The deuill gaineth many soules by this sinne two at the least euery time besides the baud Againe the Lord will haue Idolaters to be punished Deuter. 13.9 So should Magistrates punish them and it seemeth to me that Magistrates by the consideration of their owne estates should punish this kind of men Can a king abide one that would bee a fellow ruler with him Can an husband suffer any one to be a fellow-husband with him God is the king and husband of his people and Idolaters robbe him of his honor Therefore magistrates must haue an especiall care to punish this kind of men Lastly the Lord will haue prohaners of his Sabboths to be punished so should magistrates punish them The three first commandements are negatiue the fourth is affirmatiue teaching vs that to keepe the sabboth is a meanes whereby men may keepe the other three The sabboth day is the market day of mens soules yet what carelesse prouision men make for their soules let the world iudge Sixtly magistrates are called gods not that they should be so saluted or that they should vsurpe diuine authoritie As for example we may not say to a iudge this is my God What then shall we conceaue of the blasphemous Popes of whome some write thus Papa est vicarius Dei expressiùs Deus the Pope is Gods vicar more expressely God himselfe Againe constat papam à nemine iudicari posse quem constat á pio Principe appellari Deum it is manifest that no man can iudge the Pope who verely was called of the godly Prince Constantine God Many such blasphemies could I recite but I come to the vsurpatiō of Diuine authoritie The Lord saith 2. Corinth 6.14 Bee not vnequally yooked with infidels therfore to marry with infidels is vnlawfull by Gods owne verdit Yet saith Bellarmine the Pope may dispense in this matter is not this to vsurpe diuine authoritie should not the Pope keepe Gods lawes Is he not a seruant of the same yet he may dispense with them which euidently sheweth that he vsurpeth diuine authoritie Againe the Lord saith that which he hath ioyned together let no man separate Math. 19.6 yet saith Bellarmine ratified mariage may be dissolued by the Pope To proceed God saith Honor thy father and thy mother Yet saith Bellarmine it is lawfull for some to become monkes and Nuns without their Parents consent God saith Drinke yee all of this But the Pope saith yee shall not drinke all of this God saith None shall come neere to any of the kindred of his flesh yet saith the papist the Pope may dispense within the degrees forbidden of God himselfe Many such contrarieties to Gods word might I recite which plainly prooue that the pope vsurpeth diuine authoritie Euery man should be a doer of Gods lawe not a iudge of the same yet the Pope will iudge Gods lawe and so sheweth himselfe a lawlesse man By which euery man may see that he is the man of whome Paul prophesyeth 2. Thes 2.8 One thing more I will adde and so conclude this point In the yeare of our Lord 1471. saith Wernerus the Iubily was changed in which the Pope gaue pardons to men for their sinnes that where sinne doth abound there grace may abound If this be not to vsurpe diuine authoritie what is it to vsurpe the same Thus much touching the proposition now I come to the proo●e I haue said From whence we learne this doctrine namely that magistrates hould their authoritie from God so saith wisedome Prou. 8.15 and 16. By me Kings raigne and princes decree iustice By me princes rule and the nobles and all the iudges of the earth Therefore it is a proud challenge of Adrian to say Ecce in potestate nostra est imperium vt demus cui volumus behould it is in our power to giue the Empyre to whome we will As Adrian spake prowdly so likewise did Hildebrand who vsed this speach Petra dedit Petro Petrus diadema Rodulpho Christ gaue the crowne to Peter and Peter to Rodulphe If Popes challenge authoritie to translate kingdomes how can men thinke that Papists should be good subiects if they may take kingdomes from Princes and giue them to whome they will Doe we not thinke that they may discharge subiects of their obedience vnto their lawefull magistrates Consider this point al yee that are Gouernors consider also that God saith yee shall dye like men God I say who cannot lye with whome there is no change nor shadow of change Nec verbum ab intentione dissentit quia veritas est nec factum à verbo 〈…〉 ●●tus est his word doth not disagree 〈◊〉 his meaning for he is truth nor 〈◊〉 actions from his word for he is powe● Assure your selues all yee magistrates tha● yee shall dye God said let there be light there was light God saith Magistrates shall dye and dye they shall Thus I haue finished the doctrines that arise out of the exaltation Before I end the same some man may mooue a question and say Are not ministers called Gods Yes as it appeareth Acts. 23.5 compared with Exod. 22.28 Yea in the prophecy of Obadiah they are called sauiours Therefore I may say O praeclarum ministerium quo id non gloriosius Magistratu O excellent ministery more glorious then any magistracy What then is the reason why ministers are so cōtemned The reasons are many First many ministers themselues dishonor god
