mercy c. God of Heaven when thou shalt returne thy spirit into us and send thy Dove with an Olive branch of peace into our Ierusalem because thy mercy c. And then we shall give thanks to thee who art the Lord of Lords if thou continue the Gospell of thy Son amongst us even the Gospell of peace because thy mercy endureth for ever Which that God may doefor us and which that wee may doe to God pray we to God the Father the Author of peace and to God the Son Redeemer of the world the Prince of peace and to God the holy-Holy-Ghost the spirit of peace to give us peace alwayes peace in affection and peace in opinion peace in unity and peace in charitie peace on earth the peace of Grace untill he exchange it into peace in Heaven peace of Glory And this O Holy Trinity and whatsoever else is needfull for us and our Ierusalem for the Mediators sake betwixt thee and us Iesus Christ the Righteous To whom three persons one God be ascribed all honour and glory for the peace of our Ierusalem Amen FINIS The second Sermon ROMANS 13.1 Let every soule be subject unto the higher powers c. THe first curse that ever fell upon Creatures was for insurrection for insurrection against Soveraigntie and those Creatures were the Angels what Angels they were Saint Peter tells you saying They were 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Angels that sinned and what their sinne was the Prophet tells you 2 Pet. 1.4 Isa saying They would bee as high as the highest i. e. They would not be Subjects and their punishment was they were cast downe into Hell The second Curse that ever fell upon Creature was for insurrection too and for insurrection against Soveraigntie too and that Creature was the Serpent the Serpent whom the Devill used and abused by subtiltie to insinuate into Genesis 13 and deceive the woman and what his punishment was the Prophet Moses tells us saying he must creepe upon his belly and licke the the dust of the earth all the dayes of his life And that sinne of the Angels and this sinne of the Serpent was against Soveraigntie Monarchicall For God is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 but one and Adam was the only Lord of all Creatures upon earth I could descend and tell you that another curse that fell upon man was for insurrection against Soveraignty Monarchicall Absolon by cunning and by Courtship stole the hearts of the people and by and by tooke up Armes against his Father David the King of Israel and his curse was that which is due to all traytors he was hanged onely he was hanged by miracle by the boughes or branches of a tree and now all traytors are to be hanged by law with an halter I could descend lower yet and tell you that Jerusalem was lost by insurrection and so was Constantinople too for had those Christan Princes which undertook that holy warre yeelded to one generall Commander had those Citizens given Paleologus a seasonable supply the Turke in all probability had never been Lord of the one nor the other Nay I could descend lower yet even to our owne countrey and tell you had it not beene for Tonstaines insurrection some call it a fraction or division had it not beene for Gnorthigernus and Mordredus insurrection had it not beene for Mandubratius his insurrection we had never been conquered by the Norman the Dane by the Saxon. Saint Paul saw the first of these by the eye of history and for ought I know he saw all the latter by the eye of Prophesie and fearing the rumours of his owne time that Christianity was an enemie to Monarchy might have brought such a curse as to make Christian Religion abortive when it was yet but in conception he brought this water to coole this fire Let every soule c. I need not in these times of division to make any division of the words you to keep an order they divide themselves Division Into a Precept Let every soule be subiect to the higher powers Into a perswasion For the powers that be are ordained of God or There is no power but of God In handling these words I shall require 1 Qualis potestas what Saint Paul means here by the higher powers 2 Qualis anima who is meant by every soule for one malignant Church saith it is onely Anima Laica the Lay●mans soule that S. Paul here means by every soule and thirdly Quid subjectio what is meant by subjection Or if you will please to give me leave I shall without any wrong to S. Pauls intention make his perswasion or reason my proposition and his precept your application his perswasion is For there is no power but of God and my Proposition is Every power is of God his Precept is which I shall make your Application Therefore every soule every one of your soules must be subject to the higher powers I begin with the first Every power is from God and thus I discourse it Part and resolve it All powers are supreame or inferiour the supreame or higher powers are either first Monarchicall when the people are governed by one the King or secondly Aristocraticall when the people are governed by many and the best the Peeres or thirdly Democraticall when the people are governed by the most the Commons Each of these powers where these powers governe by themselves a part in severall places or Nations is from God for there is no power but from God and the best of these three where they are severed is the first of these three the Monarchy because it most resembles God for God as I said ere while is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 but one but the best government is when these three meet in one and such is the happy government of this kingdome and long may it be happy in the government where we have not three Kings but one King but three powers to governe one kingdome to keepe this kingdome from tyranny which is the ill of Monarchy and from faction which is the ill of Aristocracie and from Licentiousnesse which is the ill of Democracie but these three meeting in one though severally they are equally and immediately from God yet joyntly the first onely Monarchy is immediately from God and the rest from God but mediately by the King For the power of Monarchy was never involved or invested in the people it was a cleere mistake by whomsoever said as will appeare by and by but the power in the people whether Aristocraticall or Democraticall is derived from and created by the King as appeares now by S. Peter whether it be to the King as supreame or unto Governours as unto them that are sent by him And his supreame power of Monarchie is attained and obtained either first by inheritance which is the best clayme or secondly by donation which is the second best or thirdly by election which is the third best or fourthly by the sword which is
