be preferred to the grace of the holy Ghost For these wild men these Faunes and Satyrs as I may say are a kind of demo niacks and are not so much as capable of the Spirit of God til they haue submitted themselues to bee members of Gods Church And thirdly by tarying their turne they should be not only capable but it shold euen be vnto theÌ„ according to their faith And there would be a maruellous change worthy to be celebrated with a song of Angels Wheras now they are ofteÌ„ incoÌ„bred with the horrors of conscience so that the sound of fear is euer in their eares Against this Satan caÌ„not otherwise succour them then by teaching them to make out a power of blasphemies and derisions both of heauen and hell or to earth themselues in the caues of obliuion that the iudgemeÌ„t to come may not come into their mindes Then they should be able to pacifie their consciences with sound arguments of their saluation and the grace of God would perswade their consciences to take part on their side And when their heart was become their friend it would perswade their affection to dine and sup with their conscience Which would be a royall amends to the poorer sort for the hard fare they should find in the world by changing their course and a dish beyond all their dainties to the rich This second part was not vttered for lacke of time but was likewise by authoritie thought fit to be annexed in the print NOw followeth the second parte of the text of Iapheths participating with Shem or rather his succeeding of Shem in dominion ouer Canaan And Canaan shall be their seruant that is let Iapheth continue in the tents of Shem and then he shall hold Canaan in seruitude For the seruitude of Canaan vnder Iapheth is annexed to Iapheths dwelling in the tents of Shem. And so groweth the fift conclusion out of this text that the subduing of ours and Gods enemies is a benefit tyed to our constancy in true religion It is cleare enough that they which are helde in seruitude being of Canaans broode doe foster disdaine and enmity But in the meane while as Salomon sayeth When a mans wayes please God Prou. 16.7 his enemies shal bee contented to bee at peace with him Therefore the Psalmist sayeth O that my people had harkened vnto me and Israel had walked in my wayes Psal 81.13.14.15 I would soone haue humbled their enemies and turned my hand against their aduersaries The haters of the Lord should haue beene subiect vnto him though fainedly and their time of ruling should haue endured for euer On the other side the scripture sayeth Deut. 28.43.44 That when wee cease to walke in the wayes of the Lord whereof a principal part is to vphold his religion our enemies shall bee the head and wee shal be the tayle And such likewise are the examples of the word When Eli suffered Gods seruice to be corrupted by his sonnes â— Sam. 2.30.32 the Lord remooued him you know howe and saide vnto him Them that honour me will I honor and they that despise me shal be despised And further he sayeth to him And thou shalt see anguish in the habitation of the Lord in stead of al those things wherwith God would haue blessed Israel And of the children of Israel the scripture sayeth Iudg. 2 13.14 They for sooke the Lord and serued Baal and Ashtaroth and the wrath of the Lord was hotte against Israel And he deliuered theÌ„ into the hands of spoilers and solde them into the handes of their enemies round about them so that they could no longer stand before their enemies So we read of Salomon 1. King 11.14.23.26 how he went to wreck when he had once yeelded to the corruption of religion at the instigation of his wiues The Lord stirred vp enemie vpon enemie against him euen those which before serued him In the recitall of these scriptures we haue neede to make vse of two worthie sayings of S. Paul The first Rom. 15.4 That Whatsoeuer things are written are written for our learning to comfort and animate vs to holde our religion The second that these examples of Gods vengeance on them that forsooke it are ensamples to vs to terrifie vs from once meditating of such a sinne 1. Cor. 10.6 Let it not come into our mindes that there is any wisedome in yeelding any thing from the truth of God Let vs not think that others will thinke that wee deale wisely if wee take that course For the scripture affirmeth that our strict holding of our religion is our wisedome Deut. 4 6. and our vnderstanding in the sight of the people Great is the praise of Queene Elizabeth for holding her owne or rather Gods owne in this behalfe especially when we consider how she hath beene vrged The lawes which haue beene made for the repressing of idolatry are all still in force and we doe yet abide in the tents of Shem. And assure your selues brethreÌ„ that as the thoughts of God are tender towardes vs if wee will serue him so the thoughtes of Queene Elizabeth his seruant and daughter our Queene and mother are tender towardes vs in this matter of preseruation of religion If we will be quietly zealous and charitably tractable we shall see that as her entrance was graced with the restoring so her proceeding shal be honoured with the constant conseruing of religion So long as weekeepe vs within the limits of wise zeale and descend not to the heady courses of the vast vulgar but do maintaine the true seruice of God as followers and not forerunners of wise gouernment not preuenting it by headinesse wee shal be able to keepe these Canaanites in subiection though they did exceede vs in number neuer so much If any say that our holding religion will not holde downe our enemies because the most religious at some times are oppressed I answere that martyrdome is but in particular places or of particular persons But the like cannot be made to appeare of a whole land by any story It Iapheth dwell in Shems tents Canaan shall surely serue him The word of God ought to suffice to confirme vs in the truth of this point But let vs wade into the matter by reason because reason as they say impugneth it seeing the Papists are so many Our entrance into the first reason is out of an vsuall saying that wee haue amongst vs that one true man is too hard for two theeues by reason of his confidence This certainly is most true in the matter of religion that confidence giueth courage This is an only grace to daunt these theenish Canaanites Iosh 1.7 as the Lord said to Ioshua Onely be thou strong and of a most valiant courage According to the promise in the Law Deut. 28.7 The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise against thee to fall before thy face Iosh 23.10 They shall come out against thee one

way and shall flee before thee seuen waies And againe one of you shall chase a thousand of them And we may be sure that if the speech of the men of Iudah being fewer was fiercer then the speech of the men of Israel being more by reason of their spirite 2. Sa 19.43 that then much more the spirite of one true Christian will ouer-match the spirit of many Papists And so we haue the sentence of S. Luke a man of God for his obseruations in the story of S. Stephen But they were not able to resist the wisedome and the Spirit by which hee spake Actes 6. â—â— This reason is fortified further by the circumstance of our aduersaries person For as the matter now standeth a contentious Papist is a double theefe both in the cause of religion and also in the question of lawe and obedience to the Prince and therfore false hearted And certainly if they be duly stood to specially by those to whom it doth appertaine they will take their heeles And marke what I say to you the magnanimity of our most excellent Prince may put mettall into vs. And this is the first reason The second reason is taken from the protection of God ouer his Church For although the flocke of Christ were lesse and this herd of goates were neuer so numbrous yet if the sheepe wil cleaue to their shepheard the Lorde hath promised to create vpon euery place of mount Zion Isaiah 4 5. and vpon the assemblies thereof a cloud and a smoke by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night For vpon all the glory shall be a defence This protection of God by discourse of reason may bee thus manifested vnto vs. Consider the protection of God ouer the politicall state of the world I meane sustaining the state of common wealthes wherby euery man hath the benefit of enioying his owne There is no man well aduised that ascribeth this security wholy to ciuil gouerment For we see that if the people were numbred by the pole and due notice taken of euerie mans disposition that there are three to one which had rather liue of the spoile and those also couragious and valiant vnthrifts And in other particular Cities and townes where it is more easie to take a true suruey then in this it is an apparant case that there are enow penurious and idle male-contents euerie night couching to expell all the substantiall inhabitants of the towne out of their houses before morning For the well ciuilly disposed in a common wealth are but an handfull to those that are stroy-goods and of ill behauiour And yet ye see what the Lord doth for the protection of the ciuill conuersation of men And will ye not beleeue that his protection will be greater ouer his Church Certainly he that checketh the sea with the tender sand Iere. 5.22 Psal 104.22.23 and maketh the wilde beasts of the forrest toretyre to their dennes when man goeth to his labour will deliuer vs from the enemies of our soules though they were double as many and compell them to serue vs if we will serue the Lord. But peraduenture thou wilt say vnto me that it sufficeth vs to holde our owne though wee stande not vpon tearmes of keeping others in subiection Consider diligently what must be answered that Papists are not to bee helde in subiection vnder vs as they are men but as they are Papists not in respect of their person but in respect of their religion In which regard we are bound to hold them vnder in Gods behalfe For who are wee that wee should presume to depart with Gods right If the Lord haue trusted vs and we let them go how shall we escape that sentence that our life shall go for theirs 1. King 20.39 And thinke with your selues that if Asa thought it necessarie to put downe Maachah his grandmother from her estate because of her idolatrie 1. King 15.13 how much more necessarie is it for Gods Church that Papists be put downe because of their Poperie And if any man thinke that Poperie is not idolatrie the same man there being now no time to debate this cause otherwise must also thinke of necessitie that our religion is not Gods veritie Now followeth the sixth and last conclusion out of this text that Canaan should be brought into bondage that the enemies of the church should be held downe As it appeareth by the lawe of God Iosh 23.12 13. that when the Lord in mercie bringeth them in subiection they ought to be helde in subiection So as they may in no sort breake the yoke and relinquish their obedience much lesse preuaile ouer vs and vsurpe any priuiledge And to this purpose Salomon saith that it is a point of wisedome to catter the wicked Pro. 20 26. and to cause the wheele to turne ouer them And king Dauid voweth Betimes will I destroy all the wicked of the land Psal 101.8 that I may cut off all the workers of iniquitie from the Citie of the Lord. And according to his vowe so was his practise not onely at home 2. Sam. 8 1 2 14 but also amongst the borderers for he subdued the Philistims and destroyed the Moabites to the third man he put a garrison in Edom and made them his seruants By this meanes the throne of righteousnesse is established Pro. 25 4.5 as Salomon saith Take the drosse from the siluer and there shall proceede a vessell for the finer So take away the wicked from the king and his throne shall be established in righteousnesse On the other-side it is threatned if they be not helde downe Iosh 23.13 they shall be a snare and destruction vnto you and a whippe on your sides and a thorne in your eies till you perish This is the word of God concerning the enemies of the Church And this is the meanes for the Church of God to lay hold vpon his blessing and promise here giuen For it is incredible else to what insolencie the enemies wil grow and how much they would take vpon them It is chronicled of Salomon that he as it were surucied the roll of his recusants 2. Chron. 2 17 18 he numbred all the strangers that were in the land of Israel and finding them to be an hundreth and three and fiftie thousand and six hundreth he set seuentie thousand of them to the burden and fourescore thousand to hew stones in the mountaine and the rest to ouersee He was not terrified with that multitude but thought that if Pharaoh by vngodly policie held downe Gods people then he might by godly policie holde downe Gods enemies And it is the direction of the spouse to his friends to catch both the Foxes and the cubs that destroy the vines Cant. 2 â—5 Was it not a marueilous arrogant speech of Aram and Apostaticall Ephraim to say let vs go vp against Iudah Isaiah 7 5 6 and let vs rouze them and
