like the word of God may be sleighted but in the end it will appeare a word of power and shall be suffered with death where it was not obeyed with duety For against the King there is no rising up Nemo qui insurgit sayes Junius Nemo qui insurgat sayes Clarius I wish hee had beene a Prophet By Solomons rule it is unlawfull to beare Armes against the King And so it is by Saint Pauls rule too his precept is obedience to the higher powers not to the naked authority as Mr. Burrowes would make that man beleeve that is given over to beleeve a lye but to the person cloathed with that power For if {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} may signifie power in the abstract or the power of the Law without relation to the person that made that Law yet {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} must of necessity note the person and the superiority of the person that hath this power conferred upon him and such power no person in England hath but onely the King of England His great Counsell may ju● dicere he onely can jus dare and therefore to him must every English soule be subject subject actively licitis and subject passively in illicitis both wayes so farre subject as that we may not resist The reason is for if we doe we shall receive damnation the word is {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} and that signifies not the plundering of the goods at home not the hanging of the body abroad but the everlasting damnation of the soule and body in Hell notwithstanding Mr. Marshals new Lexicon If now you beleeve Solomon or Saint Paul I could add Moses and all the other Prophets Saint Peter and all the other Apostles It is not lawfull for any man for any sort of men to beare Armes against the King Yea therefore every man must assist the King with Armes and contribute to the maintenance of his Warres for they that doe not are the children of Belial The children of Belial said How shall this man save us they despised him and brought him no presents And doe not the Fathers assent to the same Why else did Justin Martyr say For our Religions sake and preservation of publike peace we Christians O Emperour yield you our helpe and assistance It was Tertullians glory that Christians were never found Albinians Nigrians Cassians or any other sort of Traytors Athanasius professed it not lawfull to say or speake otherwise then wel of Majestie Nazianzen knew no meanes lawful to restrain the persecutour but tears St. Ambrose knew no other way to resist then with teares St. Austine commended the Christians for obeying Julian I could name St. Gregory Fulgentius St. Bernard and many more For all heare the Anathema of a full Assembly of Bishops in the Conncell of Toledo Whosoever shall violate that Oath which he hath taken for the preservation of the King's Majesty whosoever shall attempt to destroy or depose the King whosoever shall aspire to the Regall Throne Let him bee accurst cast out of the Church and together with his Complices bee condemned with the Devill and his angels eternally let them be all tyed in the bond of damnation who were joyned in the society of Sedition Here now let no man say That these Fathers command obedience to good Kings onely for some of those Kings whom they command to obey were Hereticks some Idolaters some Apostata'es some Tyrants most of them bad enough Let no man say the Christians did not resist because they had not strength and power enough for Tertullian tells you They had Cyprian tells you They had Saint Gregory the Great tells you They had the number of Christians was A principio from a few yeares after the Apostles Nimius copiosus both strong and numerous Let no man say Christian Religion and their priviledges were not yet established for they were Constantine the Great and his successors established them and daily added to their Immunities And now judge your selves Beloved whether you were better beleeve the Scriptures and the Fathers then some yong Teachers and schismatical Divines crept up but yesterday and never durst appeare in Old England till now and now they doe appeare they dare not dispute verbis but verberibus and God first or last will give them their belly full Certainely if our Brethren were not wilfully blinde they would joyne with us and conclude It is not lawfull to beare Armes or contribute to maintaine a Warre against the King They were children of Belial that brought King Saul no presents and to Belial they all must without Gods infinite mercie and their owne repentance who now maintaine a Warre or beare Armes against King Charles And this is evident fourthly and lastly by those fearefull punishments and judgements which God and man from time to time have inflicted upon Rebells and Traytors even such as have borne Armes and maintained War against their Kings Looke else upon those intentionall Rebells Corah the Clergie Rebell Dathan and Abiron the Laie-Rebells the one by a fire from Heaven is sent into the fire of Hell the other through the earth fall into the pit of the damned So Saint Basil Looke else upon that verball Rebell Shimei hee is put to an untimely and ignominious death Looke else upon those actuall Rebells Achitophel a great Polititian Absolon a Favourite of his Fathers and of the peoples affections the one hangs himselfe the other is hanged in a tree And Sheba for but blowing a seditious Trumpet for but striking up a rebellious Drumme hath his head cut-off See my Beloved see if yee can finde but one even but one Rebell either in holy or humane Histories that ever escaped unpunished either by the hand of God in a troubled and perplexed conscience or by the hand of man in an untimely and odious death Brutus with the same hand and Dagger hee stabbed his King Caesar he kils himselfe That seditious Ring-leader of the Jewes against Adrian the Emperour who called himselfe Ben-Chobab or Filius stellae is suddenly kild and ever after scornfully remembred by the name of Ben-C●zba or the Sonne of a Lye I have heard of a certaine Commander whose name I am not willing to remember who often wisht he might rot if ever he lift his hand or drew his Sword against the King notwithstanding he did both and God answered his wish hee rotted within and dyed A certaine Lord I have likewise heard of a great Ring-leader in a Rebellion yet a great pretender to a Reformation who in his exercises of Devotion would often desire God If the cause he took were not right if the cause he managed were not just he would take him away suddenly God heard him and answered him for by the shot of a Musket he is killed so suddenly that he had not so much time as to say God be mercifull unto me and so without signe or symptome of repentance dyed I need not remember you of Pausanias Ariobarzanes Rodolph Duke of Suevia Catiline of Rome and many of England Not one of them all nor any other that I remember or have read of but if he lived he lived the scorne of honest men and if he dyed he dyed the shame of his Friends the mirth of his enemies and the example of all God in the shamefull and fearefull punishments of them telling us That to beare Armes or contribute to maintaine a Warre against the King is utterly unlawfull That the people of this Kingdome may no longer do it With the Church I pray From all Sedition and privy Conspiracie from this present dangerous Rebellion from all false Doctrine and Heresie from hardnesse of heart and contempt of thy Word and Commandement Good Lord deliver us Amen FINIS Questions Resol.
