and streight diameter Thus did the waters stand on heapes and leaue the Channell dry that Gods people might finde amaruelous way and his enemies a strange death Thus did stones yeeld to be lifted vp against their nature into the ayre that they might fall backe and recoyle with greater violence to bruise and braine the enemies of his people Thus did the Fire of the Babilonian-Furnace refresh the three Children And thus in fine did the Sunne stand still in Gibeon and the Moone in the Valley of Aialon to giue the longer light and lesser heate to them who fought for him that made both Sunne and Moone Now this Power which God hath ouer this kinde of Subiection which he receiues from the Creature is a priuiledge and prerogatiue which God hath reserued onely to himselfe and not commn●icated at any time to any King or Caesar to haue or to receiue Regularly but onely by way of Impetration and extraordinary Dispensation for dispatch of some miraculous worke as it was in Moses and Iosuah All the Obedience therefore that Man can challenge from man is in part Naturall as agreeable and conuenient to their inclinations and in part Morall in as much as it is Free and Willing And this of right may euery Superiour exact of his Inferiour as a due debt And euery Inferiour must yeeld it vnto his lawfull Superiour for the same reason Children to Parents in discipline and Domesticalls Seruants to their Lords in their respectiue and obliged duties Souldiers to their Commanders in Martiall affaires and feates of Armes People to their Pastours in Conscientious-duties and matters of Saluation Subiects to their lawfull Soueraignes in the high Concernements of State and Policie And This is that Obedience wherewith we are all charged in this Text by the Word of God and Wisedome of Sal●mon To draw then toward an end of this third point We may obserue that in the Text there is a double nay a treble Maiestie The Diuine Maiestie of him who is the Liuing God and euerlasting King The Maiestie of King Salomon that giues the Counsell And the Maiestie of all Kings on whose behalfe this Counsell is giuen And did we well consider the King that giues the Counsell and the King that is now to receiue the Obedience and the King for whose sake it is to be giuen and the Reason why In regard of the oath of God it were reason sufficient without any more adoe to perswade all Rationall-men to accept of this Counsell But there be Pretenders of Conscience against Obedience of Religion against Allegiance of Humane Lawes against Diuine of Positiue against Naturall and so of Mans Wisedome against the will and wisedome of God and of their owne Counsells against the Counsell of Salomon These men no doubt may bee wise in their generation but wiser then Salomon no man can thinke them nor as I hope doe they thinke themselues so for if they did of such there were little hope Some there were in the daies of Iustin Martyr who were so strongly conceited of their owne waies as to thinke themselues wiser then the Scriptures Vpon them and the like Saint Augustine against the Donatists lets fall this sentence as an heauy beame to bruise their hayrie scalps They saith he who preferre their owne desires of contention before diuine and humane testimonies deserue that neither their words should be euer held for Lawes nor their deeds taken for Precedents Now therefore Salom●ns wisedome is great and his Counsell deepe and able to perswade and if these mens wisedome be from aboue as Salomos was it is no doubt perswadeable And if I wisht it were and that they would be perswad●d as some haue beene I would propound vnto their view a few short Considerations which if they would please well and seriously to weigh them might with facility remoue as well all their Speculatiue as Practique errcurs First if they would please to consider that though such Assemblies as are the Highest and greatest Representations of a Kingdome be most Sacred and honourable and necessary also for those ends to which they were at first instituted yet know we must that ordained they were not to this end to contribute any Right to Kings whereby to challenge Tributary aydes and Subsidiary helpes but for the more equall Imposing and more easie Exacting of that which vnto Kings doth appertaine by Naturall and Originall Law and Iustice as their proper Inheritance annexed to their Imperiall Crownes from their very births And therefore if by a Magistrate that is Supreame if vpon a Necessity extreame and vrgent such Subsidiary helpes be required a a Proportion being held respectiuely to the abilities of the Persons charged and the Summe or Quantity so required surmount not too remarkeably the vse and charge for which it was leuied very hard would it be for any man in the world that should not accordingly satisfie such demaunds to defend his Conscience from that heauy preiudice of resisting the Ordinance of God and receiuing to himselfe Damnation though euery of those Circumstances be not obserued which by the Municipall Lawes is required Secondly if they would consider the Importunities that often may be the vrgent and pressing Necessities of State that cannot stay without certaine and apparent danger for the Motion and Reuolution of so great and vast a body as such Assemblies are nor yet abide those long and pawsing Deliberations when they are assembled nor stand vpon the answering of those iealous and ouerwary cautions and obiections made by some who wedded ouer-much to the loue of Epidemicall and Popular errours are bent to crosse the Iust and lawfull designes of their wise and gratious Soueraignes and that vnder the plausible shewes of singular liberty and freedome which if their Consciences might speake would appeare nothing more then the satisfying either of priuate humours passions or purposes In the third place if they would well weigh the Importance waight and moment of the present affaires for which such helpes are required 1. It is for the honour of his Sacred Maiestie and to enable him to do that which he hath promised in the word of a King that is to giue supplie to those Warres which the Resolutions of his owne Subiects represented in the high Court of Parliament caused him to vndertake and that with the highest Protestations and fullest Assurances from them to yeeld him all those Subsidiarie helpes that way which the Power or Loue of Subiects could possibly reach vnto 2. It is for the Security of his Royall State and Person which ought euer to be most deare and tender vnto vs his Life being worth Millions of ours 3. It is for the Safety and Protection of his Maiesties Kingdomes Territories and Dominions 4. It is for the Reliefe and Succour of his Royall and Confederate Vncle the King of Denmarke who in a Cause that much neerer concernes vs then it doth himselfe hath
