which we owe him we won't violate his Laws which are the grand Security of our Lives Liberties and Estates And it being duly observed it will be the Princes and the Peoples Safety it will be the guard and continuance of Polity and Government in the World and will keep Order and Regularity among us some must be exalted above others and their Injunctions must be obeyed otherwise all would tumble into Anarchy and Confusion The strongest Arm and the longest Sword would decide all Controversies and we should soon devour one another 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Chris This the Law of God does not only declare but the Laws of Nature dictate it to all mankind Men are rational and sociable Creatures they can't live like Brutes in Woods and Desarts They must enter into Communities Societies and Bodies for Comfort Converse and Safety And when they are thus convened and gathered all cannot Govern so that of necessity there must be some Head to guide and rule them to whose Decision and Determination all Differences and Contests which will unavoidably happen among Numbers must be referred and submitted To which having once consented they are no longer Sui Juris the Liberty Authority and Power which before they had by Nature is devolved upon the Magistrate and Him must they afterward Honour and obey And thus all Nations and Countreys have their Kings or other Magistrates to whom they pay Homage and Fealty and mutual Relations of Superiority and Subjection are observed among those who are only influenced by the Light of Nature St. Aust Generale pactum est Societatis humanae Regibus obedire Which Law of Nature and general Custome in all parts of the world God has not altered or abrogated but most strongly ratified and confirmed for both in the Old and New Testament we have many strict Precepts for Honour and Obedience to Magistrates that so that Polity and Order which God and Nature hath established in the world may be preserved that the Magistrates who defend us in our lives may have that Love and Honour Obedience and Maintenance which for their great and restless Cares their vast Troubles and constant Hazards are justly due unto them All which grateful Returns are here included in the word Honour and so it is often taken in Scripture and in that notion shall I now discourse of it in reference to the King and shew you how you are obliged to love and honour him to own his Supremacy and obey his Laws to pay him Tribute and maintain him In these does this Duty consist from which none born in his Dominions can pretend any immunity or exemption First We must love and honour him Every man who would truly honour the King must first love him at the highest rate he can and then all Duty and Veneration will soon follow for if once the Affections be vanquished with any object they presently open and all the Faculties of the Soul are imployed in their Service all other things are less valued and esteemed nothing offensive or displeasing to it is committed but the Mind is changed and squared to the will and pleasure of that which has overcome them These are some of the effects and influences of true Love and if we would perform the several branches of our Duty to the King as we ought we must first very highly love him which that we may do let us look on him as the publick Father and Protector of our Countrey who guards us from forraign Invasions and domestick Rebellions by whom Peace is preserved Traffique and Commerce increase the Kingdom grows rich and flourish and every man sits under his own Vine and Fig-tree His coercive Power restraining the outrages of the Wicked and securing our Lives our Religion and Property from the encroachments of Ecclesiastical and Secular Robbers which great Advantages may well move us to love him and make us willingly give all possible demonstrations of the greatness of our Affections in a full and perfect Obedience to his Commands exposing our selves to the greatest hazard to defend his Person and in all our words and actions paying him the most submissive Regard And then will our Honour for him be the effect and concomitant of our Love which will soon be heightened and exalted if we consider him as one whom God hath made his immediate Vicegerent and given him Power and Authority over his People he hath placed him in the highest Seat of Renown and he hath put a Sword in his hand to protect and correct his Subjects and under both temporal and eternal Penalties hath enjoyned them to obey him Nay so jealous is he of their Honour that he takes all Contempts and Insurrections against them as done to himself and hath inseparably united our Fear to him and his Representatives it being impossible to fear him without honouring those whom he hath substituted in his place The Apostle here ingeminates it Pro. 14.21 to make it the more observable and Solomon also unites them My Son fear thou the Lord and the King and meddle not with them that are given to change We must then be fastned to him with the firmest chains of Affection and next to the Deity whom he personates have the highest veneration for him a loyal sympathy must dwell in us our Pulse must keep time with his and we must share in the sickness and health in the joys and sorrows the safety and danger of our Soveraign the least injury that is done to him our Head must affect the whole Body and we must not suffer a word that tends in the least to his dishonour but to our utmost seek to justifie his Government extenuate his Failings and endear him all we can to the People which is now most necessary there being too many of the Gnostick humour who lessen the Virtues of their Rulers and rob them of their just Honours 2 Pet. 2.10 who as St. Peter says are not afraid to speak evil of Dignities nor tremble when they rayl at Glories for so the Greek signifies A presumptuous sort of men who despise Dominion inveigh against the Government and insinuate an evil Opinion of it into the vulgar which is a forerunner of Rebellion such Swellings rising usually before breakings out in the Body politick as well as the natural And undoubtedly they who are more ready to question and dispute the Commands of their Prince than to obey them who are still inquiring into the Grounds and Reasons of publick Actions and as far as they dare do guess and descant upon them who call every slip a fall and upon all occasions inhance the Failings of the Magistrate want only strength and opportunity to do more By the Eruptions of Aetna and Vesuvius we see what is within them he who is a Rebel in his tongue is certainly so in his heart for out of the abundance of that the mouth speaketh he that strikes at the King in his Honour would have no regard for his Person
