purposed and Solomon finished and Ezechias and Esras and other godly Princes preserved in which was kept the book of the law whither all the people assembled together to serve God was not used like Gods house but like a common faire or market was made a denne of theeves when these grosse abuses were suffered and things were let runne to such extremities and all this under pretence of holinesse as if it were not only lawfull but needs it must be so moved with zeale he could not abide it he made a scourge of small cords and drove them all out of the Temple and poured out the mony-changers overthrew the tables said make not my fathers house a house of merchandize And his Disciples remembred that it was written the zeale of thy house hath eaten me up This was no frantick or melancholy passion neither in Moses nor in David nor in Christ Moses was a very meek man above all that were on the earth David was a man that heareth not and in whose mouth are no reproofes And Christ said learne of me for I am humble and meeke when his Disciples James and John grew wrothful against the Samaritanes that would not receive him and said Lord wilt thou that we command that fire come down from heaven consume them even as Elias did He turned about and rebuked them and said yee know not of what spirit you are yet through zeale for Gods house Christ whipped out the buyers and sellers David shed forth teares abundantly and Moses dasht in pieces the tables of Gods Commandements All men ought to be patient and gentle in matters appertaining to themselves but in Gods cause no man must yeild or be patient In our daies upon whom the end of the world is come when we did lately see those times whereof our Saviour foretold so long sithence that desolation should be in the holy place and such confusion ignorance and blindnes that men should stumble at noon-daies that truth should be a stranger upon earth that men should forsake wholsome doctrine and give eare unto fables that the mystery of iniquity should worke and the very elect if it were possible be deceived what tryall was made of true godly zeale How notably did it shew it selfe against the rage and fury of the wicked What should I speake hereof The examples are fresh you cannot forget them you heard of them so late it is so late since you did behold them What moved so many so learned so vertuous to yeild their backs to the scourge their necks to the tormenters their bodies to the fire to forsake their goods their friends their parents their wives children but the zeale of Gods house Neither death nor life nor Angels nor things present nor things to come was able to separate them from the love of God they continued stedfast unto the end The zeal of Gods house did eat them up But now God hath restored us he hath taken away the desolation from us he hath given us his truth he hath revealed the man of sin he hath raised up a banner of hope we see and enjoy such things as many Kings Prophets would have enjoyed could not what remaineth but that we take the zeale of the Lords house into our hearts and seek by all meanes the glory of the same As our good fathers and brethren shewed the vehemency of their love in disliking the disorders which troubled the Church of God so in this blessed peace which God giveth to his Church let us witnesse our earnest zeale in seeking that it may be made beautifull established for ever Let our next care be to continue possession Kingdomes are preserved by the same meanes by which they were first gotten that which is conquered by zeale by carefull zeale must be kept It was said of Anniball that he knew how to get the victory but how to use it he knew not Many have lost that by negligence which they had by diligence wonne Therefore we ought as our hearts were carefull and desirous to see these daies so by our thankfulnesse to God for so great a blessing and by christian and godly providence fore-see such meanes whereby we may long hereafter enjoy the same When Phydias had made the pourtraiture of Jupiter Pisanus he overlaid it with oyle that it might continue fresh and greene never putrifie When God gave order to Noah for making the Arke he said thou shalt pitch it within and without with pitch that it might be sound and sure and abide the waves He which challengeth to himselfe that proud and wanton name to be called the head of the universall Church after by litle and litle he was gotten into possession was not behinde hand by all meanes to maintaine and keep the same In this policie he took away the reading of the Scriptures from the people he made Noble-men and Princes his Cardinalls he threw down and set up and changed whom and what hee would The Kings and States of the world the Bishops Professours and Schollars in Universities and Preachers were brought to sweare allegiance and obedience unto him I devise not this the stories here of are abroad and the oath which they took is known his authority grew greater then the authority of generall Councells nothing might be decreed in Councels but what pleased him none might be admitted to speak in Councels but such as were sworne to him he had all law in his breast There was sometimes a proclamation made in Rome that for considerations no man should erect or build up any Theatre and that if any were set up it should be rased pulled downe Pompeius a Gentleman of great wealth and noble courage did build a Theatre such a one as before had not been seen which would receive 2500 men contrary to the Proclamation and order taken But doubting least the next Magistrates should destroy it he caused a place of religion to be set upon it and called it the Temple of Venw whereby he provided that if any would overthrow it because it was a Theatre they might yet spare it for the Temples sake for to pull down a Temple was sacriledge Even so there have been proclamations Canons that no man should be called the chiefe or the head of all Churches or usurp such authority over others but whē the Pope built up his supremacy against the meaning of such Canons he pretended religion for his doing he said it was de jure divino that no man should presume or attempt against it and that so his power might continue forever If they have been thus carefull to maintaine falshood how much more carefull should we be to maintaine the truth If they to advance
