in the motions of the heart in the feare of God faith love and obedience The Basil Confession Let every Christian Magistrate bend all his forces this way that among all that are under him Art 7. the Name of God may be honored his Kingdome propagated and his will in the rooting out of all wickedness and vice may be fulfilled this duty was ever enjoined even to the Heathen Magistrates how much more is it required of a Christian Magistrate ut vero Dei Vicario who is Gods true Vicar The Saxon Confession We teach Saxonica Conf. Art 23. That in the whole Doctrine of God delivered by the Apostles and Prophets that Civil Government is maintained and that Magistrates Laws Tribunals and the lawful Society of men sprung not up by chance but that all the good order that is left is preserved by the exceeding goodness of God for the Church's sake and so forth which I omit for brevity sake The Sueviek Confession is notable and runs thus Our Churches teach Suevica Con. Art 23. That the office of a Magistrate is most sacred and divine whence it is that they who exercise this power are in Scripture called Gods and our Preachers teach that the obedience which is to be performed to Magistrates is to be placed among good works of the first rank and that by how much a man is a more sincere and faithfull Christian the more carefull he is to observe the Laws of the State To which add the Confession of Scotland We confess and acknowledge Empires Kingdoms Scotch Conf. Dominions and Cities to be distincted and ordained by God that Powers and Authority in the same be it of Emperors in their Empires Kings in their Realms Dukes and Princes in their Dominions and of other Magistrates in their Cities to be God's holy Ordinance ordained for manifestation of his own glory and for the singular profit and commodity of Mankinde so that whosoever goeth about to take away or confound the whole estate of Civil policy now long established we affirm the same men not only to be enemies to mankinde but wickedly to fight against Gods expressed will The Confession of England The King's Majesty hath the chief power in this Realm of England and other his Dominions The English Confession Art 37. unto whom the chief government of all estates of this Realm whether they be Ecclesiastical or Civil in all cases doth appertain and is not nor ought to be subject to any forreign jurisdiction The Laws of the Realm may punish Christian men with death for hainous and grievous offences To all which let me add the Confession of the Assembly of Divines Chap. 23. 1. God the Supream Lord and King of all the World hath ordained Civil Magistrates to be under him over the People for his own glory and the publick good and to this end hath armed them with the power of the Sword for the defence and encouragement of them that are good and for the punishment of evil doers 4. It is the duty of People to pray for Magistrates to honour their persons to pay them tribute and other dues to obey their lawfull Commands and to be subject to their Authority Note this well for Conscience sake Infidelity or difference in Religion doth not make void the Magistrates just and legal authority nor free the people from their due obedience to him from which Ecclesiastical persons are not exempted much lesse hath the Pope any power and jurisdiction over them in their Dominions or over any of their People and lest of all to deprive them of their dominions or lives if he shall judge them to be Hereticks or upon any other pretences whatsoever The sum of all is the Civil Magistrate is a Divine Ordinance and his chief care is or ought to be Religion for the defence and vindication whereof God hath put a Sword in his hand to cut off the disturbers of the peace as well in the Church as the Commonwealth and because he is the Minister * Rom. 13.4 of God for our wealth and Safety his Authority is to be obeyed by all sorts of men for conscience sake and not to be resisted upon pains of Damnation Thus I have from the melodious Harmony of all the reformed Churches proved the Authority and shewed the author and Benefit of Government and Governours but Supream and subordinate Wisdom 6.3 Power is given of the Lord and Saveraignty from the bighest See Prov. 8.15 16.

King and they are either External Rewards Internal Rewards Eternal Rewards First external and they are either General Rewards or Particular Rewards 1. General And so the King he is the Minister of God to thee * Loyal Subject for good Do well so shalt thou have praise of the same Rom. 13.3 4. To this agreeth the saying of the Prophet Isaiah chap. 32. v. 1 2. Behold ‖ 'T is meant principally of Christ but it will hold in this a King shall reign in righteousnesse and Princes shall rule in judgement And a man shall be a hiding place from the winde and a Covert from the tempest as Rivers of water in a dry place as the shadow of a great Rock in a weary land Wherefore as Jeremiab wished the Israelites to seek the prosperity of the * Jer. 29.7 City whether they were carried so I beseech all English ‖ All the Subjects of our King men to seek the prosperity of the King under whom they are governed Jeremies reason may induce them for in the peace thereof they shall have peace in the prosperity thereof they shall have prosperity in the glory thereof they shall have glory Juda and Israel dwelt without fear all the dayes of Solomon 1 Kings 4.25 The like may England Scotland and Ireland all the dayes of Charles if * What Solomon was to them that Charles is to us they prove loyal Subjects 2. Particular rewards of loyalty Kings favour Particular Rewards of Loyalty are first from men 1. The Kings favour Prov. 22.29 Seest thou a man diligent in his businesse he shall stand before Kings he shall not stand before mean men Now as the Kings wrath which the disloyal incur is as the roring * Prov. 19.12 of a Lion terrible and as the ‖ Prov. 16.14 Messengers of death so his favour which the loyall Subject procures is as dew upon the grasse Prov. 19.12 In the light of the Kings Countenance as life and his favour is as a cloud of the later rain 2. Preferment Preferment as in the case of Mordecai Esther 2.21 and 8.2 compar'd 3. External pomp as in the case of Joseph Mordecai Daniel c. Gen. 41.39 to 45. Esther 6.6 to 12. and 103. Dan. 5.29 4.

A good Subject through the blessing of God upon him he is an Iustrument of good yea sometimes much good to his Nation and Countrey as to avoid prolixity in the case of Mordecai Esther 6.2 and 8.10 and 9.1 In our own time that worthy General Monck 9. A good Name and perpetual Renown is the reward of a loyal subject as in the case of Mordecai Esther 10. 2 3. 10. The Loyal Subject is rewarded with good in his posterity so that when dead as to this life he seemeth to live to his Posterity as appears in the case of Barzillai 2 Sam. 19.32 to 40. 1 Kings 2.7 Barzillai was loyal to David in his distresse David was gratefull to Barzillai when delivered from distresses and not only to him but also to his posterity All which rewards of loyalty as they are due unto Application of therewards of loyalty so I make no question but they will be confer'd upon that honorable and valiant Commander the Lord General Monck for his worthy service to his King and Countrey for which no question he and his will be famous to posterity And I beseech God from the bottom of my heart that he may be rewarded also with the blessings following which none but the King of Kings can give Particular Rewards of Loyalty from God the King of Kings are first External If thou O Christian dost fear God and honour the King this shall be thy reward from God Blessed shalt thou be in the City and blessed shalt thou be in the field Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body and the fruit of thy ground and the fruit of thy Cattel the increase of thy Kine and the flocks of thy sheep Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store Blessed shalt thou be when thou commest in and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out Deut. 28.3 4 5 6. Who is it that desires not to be blessed in these be a Religious Fearer of God and a loyal Subject to the King and these promises are made to thee by him who is truth it self and cannot lie 2. Internal in the peace of a good conscience O what blessing greater than the soul 's continual banquet a good conscience saith Solomon is a continual feast Prov. 15.15 What melody to that sweet harmony of * Rom. 2.15 and 8.16 excusing thoughts What comfort to that comfortable assurance that ‖ Rev. 20.12 Luke 10.20 the opening of the books will shew that our names are written in heaven when others wring their hands for grief this will make thee clap thy hands for joy when others do tremble thou shalt triumph This makes thee to sleep quietly to wake cheerfully to be alone without fear and with others without distrust in thy affairs confident in thy recreation comfortable If Rebels be behinde thee and before thee as the Amonites and the Aramites were before and behind Joab yet wouldest thou resolve with him Be of good courage and let us play the men for our People and for the Cities of our God and the Lord do that which seemeth him good 2 Sam. 10.9 12. Thirdly Loyal Subjects that do fear God and honour the King shall have eternal Rewards which is O Christian when after all thy loyalty to thy Sovereign the Sovereign of all Princes shall advance thee into the great City the New Jerusalem described in part according to our apprehention Rev. 21.10 to the end and 22.1 to 6.
