A09916	A shorte treatise of politike pouuer and of the true obedience which subiectes owe to kynges and other ciuile gouernours, with an exhortacion to all true naturall Englishe men, compyled by. D. I.P. B. R. VV.	Ponet, John, 1516?-1556.	1556 (1556)	STC 20178; ESTC S115045	90,036	182

of God were endued with the knowlage of the lawe of nature For it is no priuate lawe to a fewe or certain people but common to all not written in bokes but graffed in the heartes of men not made by man but ordained of God which we haue not learned receaued or redde but haue taken sucked and drawne it out of nature wherunto we are not taught but made not instructed but seasoned and â—â€¦s S. Paule saieth mannes conscience bearing witnesse of it This lawe testifieth to euery mannes conscience that it is naturall to cutte awaie an incurable membre which beiÌ„g suffred wolde destroie the hole body Kinges Princes and other gouernours albeit they are the headdes of a politike body yet they are not the hole body And though they be the chief membres yet they are but membres nother are the people ordained for them but they are ordained for the people VpoÌ„ this lawe of nature aÌ„d to coÌ„serue the hole body the Ethnikes not knowiÌ„g that the soule is iÌ„mortall nor that ther shalbe a Resurrection of the body and soule to iudgement but thought the soule perished with the body and that ther was no difference betwene a brute beast and mannes life thought it reasonable and made it laufull by their positiue lawe for eue ry man to kill a tiranne And to encourage men to entreprise to kill a tiranne they estemed the dede to be worthy so great rewarde that they thought him worthy perdone that killed a tiranne though he had killed his owne naturall father before And besides this whan they sawe that tirannes vsed to haue their bodies defended with great garisones and gardes of forain people or kept them selues in strong holdes and secret chambres so as none without great hasarde and peril might come vere them they propouned great rewardes to him that should destroie a tiranne Nother thought they rewardes or giftes to be a sufficient recompence for so vertuous an acte but they vsed also to make the ymage of him that killed a tiranne in brasse and to set it vp in the most solemne place of the citie for a perpetual memorie of the acte the commendacion of the doer and thencouragement of others to doo the like They dedicated to hiâ—â€¦ praise and honour songes and verses and wolde haue them taken of men as Goddes worthy immortalitie Wherof came the name of Nobilitie or how were those that be called heroical or noble personages diui ded from others and had in suche honour and reuerence seing all men came of one man and one womans was it for their lustie hawking and hunting for their nimble diceing and coÌ„ning carding for their fine singing and daunceing for their open bragging and swearing for their false fliering and flattering for their subtil piking and stealing for their cruel polling and pilling for their merciles man murthering for their vnnatural destroieng of their natural coun trey men and traiterous betraieng of their countrey No no ther was no suche thing The respecte only of their vertue aÌ„d loue to their couÌ„trey brought them therto Bicause they reuenged and deliuered the oppressed people out of the handes of their gouernours who abused their autoritie aÌ„d wickedly cruel ly and tirannously ruled ouer them the people of a grate and thaÌ„kefull minde gaue them that estimacioâ—â€¦ and honour Of this kinde of nobilitie was Hercules Theseus and suche like Good kinges gouernours and states in time past tooke it to be the greatest honour that could be not to take cities and Realmes to their owne vse whaâ—â€¦ they were called to aide and releue thoppressed as princes doo now a daies but to rescue and deliuer the people and countreies from the tiraÌ„nie of the gouernours and to restore them to their libertie So did the Romanes the Lacedemonianes out of the tirannie of Onabis and all Grece from the bondage that Phi lippus Demetrius sonne king of Macedonia hade them in So did the noble meÌ„ of the people of God also come to their highe estimacion and honour as GedeoÌ„ Barac Iepthe and Samson who for the deliuerie of his contrey from the power of the idolatrous cruell Philistines pulled vpon him self present deathe So that this principle that euil aÌ„d euil doers ought to be punished and rotten membres to be cut awaie was no peculiar lawe of the Ethnikes but it procedeth of nature and therfore common to all men as it is plaine by the Chronicles and experience of all ages and purposely exemplified for our sure staie and learning as wel in the boke of Iudges as in many other histories of holy scriptures according to the expresse worde and commaundement applied to this sense and meaning which saieth Let euil be taken out of the middes of the congregacion that the rest which heare of it maie be afraied and not entreprise to doo the like And Christ pronounceth that euery tree which bringeth not furthe good frute shalbe cut downe and cast in to the fire muche more the euil tree that briÌ„geth furthe euil frute And albeit some doo holde that the maner and meane to punishe euil aÌ„d euil doers is not all one amoÌ„g Christianes which be in dede that they professe iÌ„ worde aÌ„d Ethnikes which thiÌ„ke it lauful for euery priuate maÌ„ without respecte of ordre aÌ„d time to punishe euil yet the lawes of many christiane regiones doo permitte that priuate meÌ„ maie kil malefactours yea though they were magistrates in some cases as whaÌ„â—â€¦ gouernour shall sodaâ—â€¦ly with his sworde reÌ„ne vpoÌ„ an innoceÌ„t or goo about to shoote him through with a goÌ„ne or if he should be fouÌ„de in bedde with a maÌ„nes wife or goo about to defloure aÌ„d rauishe a maÌ„ nes daughther muche more if goo about to betraie aÌ„d make awaie his couÌ„trey to foraiÌ„ers c. Neuertheles forasmuche as all thiÌ„ges â—â€¦ euery christeÌ„ coÌ„moÌ„ wealthe ought to be done deceÌ„tly aÌ„d accordiÌ„g to ordre aÌ„d cha ritie I thiÌ„ke it caÌ„ not be maiÌ„tened by Goddes worde that any priuate maÌ„ maie kill except wher execucioÌ„ of iuste puÌ„ishemeÌ„t vpoÌ„ tiraÌ„nes idolaters aÌ„d traiterous gouernours is either by the hole state vtterly neglected or the priÌ„ce with the nobilitie aÌ„d couÌ„sail coÌ„spirâ—â€¦ the subuersioÌ„ or alteracioÌ„ of their coÌ„trey aÌ„d people any priuate man haue som special inwardecoÌ„maundement or surely proued mocion of God as Moses had to kill the EgipciaÌ„ Phinees the Lecherours and Ahud king Eglon with suche like or be otherwise commauÌ„ded or permitted by common autoritie vpon iuste occasion and common necessitie to kill But now perchaunce thou wilt demaunde why christen meÌ„ neuer made expresse positiue lawe of the kinde of punishement of tirannes Might it not be answered as SoloÌ„ did excusing that he had not made a lawe for suche as killed their parentes that no man wolde suspecte that so vnnatural a facte should be thought muche lesse committed or that those that should be the ministers yea the ymages of God here in earthe charged bothe by God and man to see the people defended
