1 1 Pet. 2.3 resist the ordinance of God Nor is th●t any barre to this truth when St. Peter calls the Magistrate an humane ordinance or creature for so the word properly signifies 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and it is Pareus's note Humanam ordinationem seu creationem vocat Apostolus magistratum non causaliter the Apostle calls the magistracy an humane ordinance or creature not in regard of the cause or author as if it were devi●●d by men but in regard of the subject and object because it is born by men In ●o●● 13 Sol. respects the government of men for the very word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 creature or creation pr●●ves that maiestyis Gods ordinance for he only can create 〈…〉 45. Act. 3. 〈…〉 In Apolog. impossibile ost quod alicui creaturae conveniat creare saies Aqui●as it is impossible that power to create should bee given to any ●reature n● therefore sayes Irenaeus cujus jussu homines nascuntur ejus jussureges constituuntur by whose appointment men are borne by his appointment kings are ordained and therefore sayes Yert inde illis potestas un●è spiritus whence they have their breath thence they have their power but they have their breath from God and therefore they have their power from God and therefore as they that resist the breath of man and take it away by murther and the like resist the creation of God do they that resist the power of the Magistrate by resisting against it or the like resist the ordinance of God Object Nor yet is that any bar to this truth corrupt intruding into the Magistracte Hos 8.4 as Jer boams getting the kingdome by his owne and the peoples rebe●ion of which God sayes they have set up Kings but not by me and againe Governours often use wicked administration when they turne judgement into wormwood when they oppresse the innocent Act. 3.14 and deliver the holy and just to be put to death as Pilate did our Saviour this comes not down from the Father of lights Ps 94 20 for what fellow ship hath the throne of iniquitie which imagine himischeife as a law wi●h him Yet for all this the office and power it selfe is from God Sol. do but distinguish the power from the abuse of the persons and though this be of the corrupt will of man Joh. 19.10 lib. 4. de lib. yet that is the true ordinance of God so Christ told Pilate Dens felicitatis author d●tor and saies St. Aug. God that is the author and giver of happines lib. 2 c. 10. indict 11. giveth earthly kingdomes both to good and evill men Potestas super omnes homines dominortunt meorum pietati caelitus data est sayes Gregory writing to Mauritius and Augusta Power over all men is given from heaven to my good Lord and Lady and to end this saies Musculus upon that Psal Psal 82. vid●●●us hic we see here that there is no Magistrate whether good or bad but he is of the will of God for he sayes of them all and some of them if you read that Psalm you will confesse to be bad enough ye are Gods and therefors as they that resist the s●bordinate Magistrate the Iudge doe ipso facto resist the higher Magistrate the King because they are Iudges by the Kings Pattent so they that resist the higher power the King doe ipso facto resist the highest power God because they are Kings a●d Gods by the ordinance of God Obiect 1 Tim. 2.5 in psal 82. Nor yet lastly is that any bar to this truth there is but one God for they are Gods not by nature but by name Dij titulares called Gods non naturâ Dij saies Musculus they are not Gods by nature but because of their authoritie to rule and judge the dignitie whereof hath some divinitie in it they are called Gods Dij saies Molerus inpsal 82. quia Dei vicarij officiarij Gods they are called because they are Gods Vicars and Officers Dij saies Calvin quia Dei personam sustincut Justit l. 4. c. 20. Sect. 4. Gods they are called because they represent the power of God and therefore as they who resist the representee of the King do resist the King so they that resist the King resist God for they resist Gods ordinance I have not spoken this to flatter kings no no they shall die like men but to informe you what a dangerous thing you do and what a fearefull sin you commit when you resist the king for for so doing you shall receive damnation And that is my 〈◊〉 general part 〈◊〉 which I called my Capitall penall or the eminent punishment du● to that Capitall criminall or the eminent sin they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation and here I am first to shew you 〈◊〉 what is meant by damnation The world is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and this word fignifies diversly according to the divers opinions of interpreters sometimes it signifies condemnation or damnation so Beza and the vulgar latine sometimes judgement so the Syriac interpreter sometimes punishment so Piscator and this punishment is both eternall inflicted by God and temporall inflicted by the Magistrate St. Chrisostome and Theoph●lact both understand it cum a Deo tum ab hominibus paenas daturum hee that resisteth the power shal receive the sentence of damnation from that power for violating the lawes of that power and the sentence of eternall damnation from God for violating the eternall law of God And a great deale of reason and equitie there is in this for hee that presumes Psal ●●n 4. sinnes but against the justice of God hee saies no more but tu●h God regardes it not he that despaires sinnes but against the mercie of God and hee saies no more but my sins are greater then can bee forgiven the that falls sins but against the wisedome of God but he that resists the power sinnes against the power of God and so against all the attributes of God for therefore is God omnipotent because is justice mercie and wisedome and therefore is God just wise and merciful because he is omnipotent and this man sayes as much as the veriest Atheist can say there is no God for hee that dares take armes against the King would if he could take armes against God too and therefore as damnation is due to every sinne to especially to this sinne the sinne of rebellion And indeed it is inflicted upon this kinde of sinner in a more fearefull manner then upon any kinde of sinner For it is at once damnatio rei nominis et parsonae the damnation of his goods and they are confiscated the damnation of his name to eternal infamy a traytor the worst of names the damnation of his person his body to a pe●petuall shamefull death and his soule to an eternall painefull death from all which God deliver us and from all which that wee may be delivered God give us grace to be true subjects and ever to resist the higher powers if wee doe wee shall receive damnation And how shall we receive it 2a 2ae why that my last consideration is to tell you any 2 a. 2 ae The word is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which signifies capio or accipio to take or to receiv●● i● is given by Tremelius in auferent ip si si bi cond●●mationem auseren● they shall take to themselves damnation Which word howsoever it implies a willingnesse yet 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 will they nill the shall beare that punishment is imposed upon them that punishment which is imposed upon them here by the higher power upon earth and that punishment which shall be imposed upon them hereafter by the highest power of heaven All the unjust shall be reserved unto the day of judgement to be punished saies Saint Peter but cheifly them which walke after the flesh in the lust of uncleannesse 2 Pet. 2.9.11 and delpise government presumptuous selfe-willed that are not ●ffraid to speak evill of dignities But you beloved feare the criminall and therfore you need not feare the penal for praise is for them that feare God and the King which praise that the world may know it doth belong to you pray you to God for the King that hee may have no resisters but a loyall people a faithfull councell and a quiet governement till the the glory of his ●●●wne be exchanged into a crowne of glorie through Iesus Christ 〈◊〉 FINIS
