Looke else upon Athanasius for the Primitive Fathers the power of Kings is of God looke else upon Aquinas for the Schoolemen All Kings are Gods ordinance even wicked Kings to punish the peoples sinnes looke else upon Luther for the moderne Writers Yee ought not to reject the Prince whom God hath set over you It was his answer to the assembly of the German Rebells Thus it was in the dayes of Moses and the Prophets thus it was in the dayes of Christ and his Apostles thus it was in the dayes of Athanasius and the Primitive Fathers thus it was in the dayes of Aquinas and the subtle Schoolemen thus it was in the dayes of Luther and our honest Grandfathers But hath it beene so with the Kings of England looke else upon his Rights looke else upon his power 1. His right to the Crowne is by birth not by election he hath it not by the peoples votes but by Gods blessing and hereditary succession King Charles that now is and long and long may he so be was King of England Scotland and Ireland so soone as ever King James was dead by the Law of Birth-right and so had beene though he had not yet received the ceremonie of Coronation Henry 6. was not crowned untill the ninth yeare of his Raigne and yet he was King the eight preceding yeares 2. His power is universall in all Causes over all Persons both Ecclesiasticall and Civill So is his Power Military he may the people may not de jura proclaime war and establish peace So is his power curiall no Court not the Court of Parliament can meet but by the Kings authority yea the Court of Parliament it selfe was at first devised framed and instituted by the Kings of England O fortunatos Anglos bona si sua nô rint So is his power officiall He bestowes all offices the Lord Keeper the Lord Treasurer the Lord Chamberlaine and all the rest acknowledge the King their only Patron and Donor and lastly such is his power origenall and that runs thus Carolus Dei gratia not Carolus electione Populi The King hath under him free-men and slaves saies Bracton but he is under none but God And it may be said of our King in his Chaire-Royall as it was said of Solomon That he then sits not in solium Populi as if they made him King but in solium Domini because he is what he is Charles by the grace of God of England Scotland France and Ireland King c. And may Almighty God with his grace by which he made him King continue him in his Kingdomes and restore him to his power that he may punish all those men of Belial who say they made him King and He shall no longer raigne over them yea O God let all those Children of Belial taste of thy mercy and the Kings justice who say how shall this man save us And so deny his Authority to come from thee and despise him because they conceive him lesse then the whole Body though greater their particular Members Amen It is my second part and I am now to discusse it I called it the positive condition of Rebells They despised him And first what is the meaning of these words they despised him why the meaning of this consists in these three branches 1. They did malè cogitare and so came within the compasse of Solomons prohibition curse not the King in thy thought A thought of despising the King is treason as well as a word and a word as well as an action So it is said of the intentions of Bigthan and Texesh Traitors they were and yet they never came to an insurrexerunt or any act of treason but only to a voluerūt a bare intention they sought or they thought to lay hands upon King Abasuerus and for this very thought they were hanged And as the Law of God so the Law of this Kingdome construes a bare purpose against the King a despising thought of the King to be treason and makes it deadly my prayer therefore is Convert them O God if they will not bee converted confound them O God as many as have evill will against my Lord the King and do malè cogitare despise him in their thoughts 2. They did malè dicere saying How shall this man save us and so came within the compasse of Moses his prohibition thou shalt not speake evill of the Ruler of thy people A word against the King is treason as well as a thought or action greater treason then the thought and lesser then the action And they that now word it against the King if they be of the Clergy they are of Balaams ordination because they curse whom God hath blessed And he was killed with the sword If they be of the Laietie they are of Shemeies condition because they revile whom God hath anointed and he was put to a violent and shamefull death And at this time by the Law of this Kingdome there stands one Pym endited and arraigned for saying He would if he could embrue his hands in the bloud of King Charles my prayer againe is Convert them O God convert them If they will not be converted confound them O God and let them perish as many as speake evill of my Lord the King and doe malè dicere despise him with their tongues 3. They did malè facere for they brought him no presents and so came within the compasse of King Davids prohibition thou shalt not stretch forth thy hand against the Lords Anointed And drawing our hand back from the Lords Anointed is equivalent I know King David there speakes by an interrogative quis who can But I know withall that that interrogation quis is a most tryumphant Negative and saies nullus no man can unlesse he will bring guilt upon his owne soule Absolon did against his Father the King and was both hanged and stabbed for it Robert late Earle of Essex did and was beheaded for it and how many in the same conspiracy were hanged you may reade in that story my prayer againe is Convert them O God Convert them and returne them to their duety of Loyalty to thine Annointed if they will not be converted confound them O God as many as lift up their hands against or withdraw their hands frō my Lord the King You see what is meant by these words they despised him will you now see why they despised him Why it was because they looked on him as a single man how shall this man save us Happily they thought him greater then any one of themselves in particular but they thought themselves in a collective or representative Body greater then the King and this brings me to my 2a 2ae and the unfolding of my second question which is Whether the King be Singulis major but Vniversis minor But of the first branch of this question I shall not neede to speake for that the King
