but Blessed are they sayeth CHRIST who are not offended in me for God is pleased to permit such offences because of mens blindnesse pride malice and contempt of his word and Ministers 117 We are bound to receive the morall Law and to square our actions by it for though the just man hath no Law to compell and condemne him yet he hath a Law to direct and instruct him therefore the law is a schoolemaster to bring us to CHRIST a lanthorne to direct our feet a looking-glasse to let us see our filthinesse and a rule whereby we must square all our words and actions by the threatning of the law out of Nathans mouth David was brought to acknowledge his sinne and by Peters preaching of the Law the Iewes were brought to compunction and repentance therefore by the Law cometh the knowledge of sinne and the Law worketh wrath and is the Ministry of death because it lets us see our sinnes it denounceth Gods wrath against sinnes and it lets us know that wee deserve death for sins 118 Wee are bound through the whole course of our life to lay hold on the meanes of Gods providence and not to neglect them relying upon his extraordinary and miraculous workes for he hath decreed the meanes as well as the end meat as well as life physicke as well as health he is absolute Lord of his creatures who useth them as the meanes of his glory and of our comfort wherein we may see the love and goodnesse of God towards us making all things worke together for our weale therefore we are bound to acknowledge in this his wisdome goodnesse and power and to put our trust in him as in our Father to feare and reverence him who can command all the creatures to be for us or against us to be as constant in serving him as he is in protecting us in adversity to put our trust in him in prosperity to praise him 119 The Ministers of the Gospell may with a safe Conscience marry for we read of Preists Prophets Apostls Evangelists and Bishops in the primitive Church were married a Bishop must be the husband of one wife marriage is honorable among al men the Levits of old were permitted to marry it is a note of Antichrist and the doctrine of devills to forbid marriage GOD hath made Ministers as fit for marriage as other men and it is better to marry then to burn or to commit fornication adultery incest and Sodomy 120 Kings and Magistrates are bound to have a care of religion for they are keepers of both Tables they are called nursing Fathers of the Church they are the Ministers and officers of God for this purpose they are commanded to kisse the sonne and to serve the Lord in feare so David had care to transport the Ark to Ierusalem Solomon to build the temple Iosiah to overthrow the idolatrous Altars Groves high places Ezechiah to take down the brazen serpent to purg the Temple and to reforme the Priests so Moses was cheifly carefull in the constituting and ordaining of Priests Levits and the Tabernacle with its utensills and in destroying of the golden Calfe 121 A Christian may with a safe Conscience be a Magistrat for GOD himselfe is the author constitutor of Magistrates every power is of God the powers that be are ordained by God by me saith Wisdome Kings raigne it is God saith Daniell that sets up Kings and translates kingdomes Christ commands us to give unto Caesar what is Caesars therefore Kings are called Gods servants and officers Abraham prayed for King Abimilech Iacob blessed King Pharoah Ieremiah will have the Iewes pray for the King of Babylon and the Apostles will have us put up our prayers and supplications for Kings and all that be in authority we read of many excellent Christian Kings and Magistrates such as Constantine Theodosius Ludovic the godly Edward the confessor c. 122 Princes may with a safe Conscience demand tribute or tole of their subjects for the supportation of their charges and greatnesse and for the defence of themselves and people for David and other Kings imposed it without reproof CHRIST himselfe payd it and so did the Christians in the Primitive Church but Princes must be moderate in their demands for they are called Fathers of their country and shepheards whose office is to sheare their sheepe and not to flea them Rehoboam for want of this moderation lost ten tribes And somuch breifly of those duties which in Conscience wee are bound to practice having then poynted at the Credenda and Agenda of a Christian
