vs from the Heard Math. 25.33 To conclude both Iudge and people are hereby taught their duties one to another and both to GOD of whom being our great Shepheard we may say truely as the Poet fainedly of Pan Pan curat ou●s ouiumque Magistros Our word shall be Tanquam Deo to obey you as the Ordinance of God let your word be Coram Deo to iudge vs as in the sight of God And I tooke vnto mee two staues the one I called Beauty and the other I called Bands and I fed the Flocke Many are of Laertius his minde they would haue but one Law affirming Vbi multi Medici ibi multi morbi where there are many Physitians there are many diseases But more are of Demonax minde Leges prorsus esse inutiles to haue no Law at all affirming the good need them not the bad will not be bettered by them Sure as they which maintaine these opinions are not of the good who need no Lawes so it is to be feared they would be farre worse if they were without Lawes t is old but true Oderunt peccare mali formidine poenae But wee Christians say with S. Peter Lawes are needfull for good and bad for the punishment euill doers and for the defence of and incouragement of them that doe well 1 Pet. 2.15 And wee approue that of Chrisostome To make Musicke on a Harpe it is not sufficient to play on one string but all must be strucke in due measure and proportion Man as I haue said consists of a body and a soule to both a Law is required at the first the Law of the Soule was written in heart for without this Law Abel could not haue offered the acceptable Sacrifice Heb. II. In the first ages the Law of Nature restrained those sinnes which after the Law of Nations forbad The first written Law giuen to the Elect people of God being Ecclesiasticall binding the soule was giuen into the hands of Moses a Leuite but the corrupt manners of men caused them to be extended to the punishment of the body wherein as God reserued the Iudgement and inquisition to Moses the execution was done by the hands of the people not by the Leuites Time perfected Sinne Sinne seuerity the people weary of the strict gouernment of Samuel a Leuite will haue a King though of the Tribe of Reniamin to iudge vs say they and to goe out before vs 1 Sam. 8. But was this request against the ordinance of God No the Law of Deuteronomie long before gaue instruction for the choosing of King and prescribed a Law to the King so that the Israelits sinned not in their request but in the time of their request not attending Gods leasure Was the Ecclesiasticall Law abrogated now No the King must take the Law and reade it diligently from the hands of the Priest in one and the same Chapter Deut. 17. Now that it is called Bands here is in respect of that tye which the King hath vpon the People bound to obserue his Lawes not repugnant to Gods Law for then they cease to be Lawes and of him to the people as you may read of King Dauid 2 Sam. 5. which hee cals there The Couenant betweene him and the people And in 1 Sam. 10. Samuel declareth to the people the duty of a Kingdome So you see here was a King ouer the people aboue the Priest but neyther Lawes abrogated they being indeede the two hands of 2 King which must defend and wash one another though the wicked perswade them they are feet the one cannot be lifted vp vnlesse the other be thrust downe godly men will attend Samuel home though Saul be chosen aboue him but they are branded for vvicked men that slighted the Ciuill Magistrate vvhen they had a Temporall 1 Sam. 10.27 Such men forget that Salomons Throne had Lyons on eyther side to support it that our Kings carry a Crosse in one hand as vvell as a Sword in the other As the Ministry acknowledges all obedience to the temporall power not as Bellarmine and his broode affirme Virationis non Legis sed virationis Legis Both by the Law of God and humane reason so likewise it is the duty of the Temporall Magistrate to rise vp to Nathan as Dauid did to vphold the priuiledges of the Church as good Constantine did Not saith hee onely because I am sworne so to doe but because I am sworne to that which the Law of God commandeth There are some that though they desire not to haue the gouernment of the Church wholly extinguished yet with Vzza they thinke it had neede of their help others with the busie Bethshemites will be prying into the Arke they will be inquiring and looking into the defects of Church-gouernment be it but to fill vp their discourse hauing neither place nor purpose for the amending it But the same God which struck Vzza dead for doing the first 2. Sam. 6. will not let these escape more then he did the Bethshemites of whom he destroyed fiftie thousand for presuming the last 1. Sam. 6. There are a third Sect and those are puri quasi minime puri the impuritans of our time these neuer cease crying out to the Church as the Diuell did vnto Christ cast thy selfe downe humble thy selfe before vs. The Church though rent and almost ruinde is yet too glorious in their eies it faring with these men as with those who standing vpon earth looke vp to lofty pinnacles which still seeme to wauer and stand awry when the defect is truly in their owne sight Lastly there is a fourth number which with Ammon hauing defiled their sister would gladly expose her to the contempt of others These men with sacrilegious hands hauing rauished the Church of her Lands and ornaments are the first that tell her when shee threatens them A proud Beggar God hates Surely as Thamar said to Ammon to say I to such in the behalfe of my dispised Mother This last wickednesse is greater yet then the first 2. Sam. 13.16 Let these and euery one of these remember that it was the sinne of the Princes of Iuda to take from the authority of the Priest which the Lord compareth to the remouing of the Bounds an act accursed in the Leuiticall Law for which saith he I will poure my vengeance vpon them like water Hos. 5.10 As wee iustifie Pope Boniface the eight to be Antichrist who wrote to the most Christian King Phillip le Beau to come and acknowledge he held his Crowne of him threatning if he should refuse to depose him and Crowne another The answere of which King I cannot omit wishing it might be ingrauen in leaues of gold by a pen of diamond Phillippus Dei gra●ia ●rancorum Rex Bonifacio se gerenti pro summo pontifice salutem modicam sine nullam sciat tua maxima fatuitas in temporalibus nos alicui non subesse To Boniface bearing himselfe for Pope little or no health be it known to thy
