A WORD in SEASON OR A DISCOURSE OF THE Three Estates TO WIT The Truly Civil Truly Spiritual AND FALSE Ecclesiastical Estate SHEWING That this Last or Third Estate is a Remainder of Popery and ought to be taken away Presented to the King and Queen's most Excellent Majesty Together with the Right Honourable the LORDS and COMMONS Assembled at Westminster Printed in the Year 1689. TO THE King and Queens Most Excellent Majesty Together With The Right Honourable THE Lords and Commons Now Assembled at WESTMINSTER May it Please Your Most Excellent Majesties and You Right Honourable Patriots THE Civil State being the Power and Sword of the Lord to do his Commandments Therefore when GOD commanded King Saul utterly to Destroy Amalek 〈◊〉 did it not fully but spared Agag their King and the best of the Cattle to Sacrifice to the Lord The evil effect that befel Saul for doing the Lords Command negligently was first to himself God Rent the Kingdom from him and then to the whole house of Israel Haman one of the seed of Agag the Amalekite sought the Destruction of all Israel had not the Lord by a miraculous Providence prevented it Now Why must Amalek be utterly destroyed Because when God had Delivered his People out of Old Egypt and they were Travelling Peaceably Faint and Weary through the Wilderness to the Promised Rest the Land of Canaan a Type of Heaven Amalek destroyed some of them Even so the very reason is why the Lord hath said The Kings of the Earth shall hate the Whore eat her Flesh and burn her with Fire even these Spiritual Amalekites the destroyers of the Lords People that are come out of the Spiritual Egypt Travelling to the Heaven of Everlasting Happiness and Rest with Christ in Glory through the Wilderness of this World Now then because when this Work was begun by former Kings in this Nation as after is shewed and not yet fully done in utterly destroying these Spiritual Amalekites not in their Persons but out of Church and State so that they might bear no Office of Trust there but have Retained them still see what had like to have been the effects thereof their Elder Brethren were coming in a pace to possess their old Places and had so far prevailed with the King to his great ruine to destroy the Nation out of their Rights and Priviledges and perhaps out of their Lives at length if the Lord had not by his miraculous Providence wrought our Deliverance so that the Lord hath once more put into the hands of You the Supream Powers of this Nation to do the work the Lord hath commanded fully Pardon my boldness There is a time to speak if fitly spoken how good it is which may serve but as a Candle to your Sun-light in the due sence of these things therefore this may only serve to stir up your minds by way of Remembrance That if this work be fully done by You a Blessing will be upon all your good works in setling this Nation in Peace as saith the Scriptures When the Lord giveth Quietness who can make Trouble And when he hideth his Face who can behold him whether it be done against a Nation or a Man only Job 34.29 A WORD in SEASON OR A DISCOURSE OF THE Three Estates THE Lord God Creator of the Heavens and the Earth and Sea with all the plenty therein hath made of one Blood all Mankind to dwell one the face of the Earth and hath disposed unto them the bounds of their Habitations according to his Wisdom hath appointed but two State-Pillars or Legs for the Nations to stand upon the one Civil the other Spiritual the Civil State is God's Ordinance of Magistratical Government under divers Titles as the Lord disposeth and the Civil State see best as Princes Senators Judges Kings for all Powers are of God whatsoever be their Titles Dignities or Forms of Government In respect whereof they are called humane Creations or Ordinances and are to be submitted unto for the Lord's sake for as much as there is given them an Excellent Majesty being next under God Head of the Commonwealth the Lords Lieutenants on Earth and for their perfect Rule and Guide in Government is given them the second Table of the Royal Law of God as a most sure Foundation to square all their Laws by to govern their people who are not to judge for Man but for the Lord so shall they not bear the Sword in vain but use it to the Glory of God in punishing Evil-doers without respect of Persons and for the praise of them that do well of which Trust or Stewardship committed unto them they must shortly give an account to the great Judge the Lord Jesus at the last day The other State or Pillar is the Spiritual Rule or Government of the Lord Jesus now in the Kingdom of his Mediatorship in his Church on Earth whose Kingdom is not of this World neither are the Weapons thereof Carnal but Spiritual and mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds casting down Imaginations and every high thing that Exalteth it self against the Knowledge of God bringing into Captivity every thought to the Obedience of Christ so differeth it from the Civil State Unto this Spiritual Government is given the first Table of the Royal Law according thereunto are all the Laws given by Christ to his Subjects in his Kingdom his Church in all things they are to do or keep in the Worship and Service of God his Father written in his last Will and Testament sealed with his precious Blood unto which nothing may be added to or taken from by any mortal upon pain of all the Curses written in the Book of God These being the two only States ordain'd of God on Earth for all mankind to be subject unto in the Lord and the nature of them being so different the one from the other as the nature of a thing Civil and Spiritual so that they may not be mixt together in their Offices nor Administrations therefore the Lord constituted the Civil State in the Tribe of Judah and the Spiritual State in the Tribe of Levi so that it is and ever was a Sin of High Nature for the Civil States Office to do the Work which properly belongeth to the Spiritual States Office but when King Vzziah presum'd to break Gods Order in doing the Work which belong'd to the Spiritual States Office to do the Lord smote him with Leprosie to the Day of his Death and Dethron'd him from his Kingly Office and separated him from Communion with his Church or People Therefore the Lord Jesus who only without Blasphemy can bear that Title of Arch-Bishop or Chief Bishop of our Souls who is the only Lord Spiritual and Overseer of his Churches walking in the midst of his Golden Candlesticks would not meddle with the Work which properly belong'd to the Civil States Office to give Judgment on a Woman taken in Adultery no nor divide Temporal
