is lawfull to lay his bloudy hands upon the Lords Anoynted and then he will feare but little hot burning pincers or the pulling in pieces with wilde horses When those moles the the Gunpowder pioners following their blinde guides were conceited that it was not unlawfull to fire that house wherein said they bloody lawes were made against them they then cared neither for Tyburn nor beheading And that bloody Assasine who not many yeares since slew a great Peere no doubt but that his bloody mis-led mind thought it lawfull If Divines do but once file off the fetters of divine lawes men will as fast snap asunder mens lawes as Samson did his coards Iames Clement whom the Leaguers hired to kill Henry the third and Iohn Chastell who intended to kill Henry the fourth were both taught by the Jesuites that the King was not to be obeyed if not allowed by the Pope Goodwins Annales page 23 Insurrection or rebellion never proves loud or dangerous till it pretend Religion The first noyse is for the libertie or priviledges of the people that is but like the outworkes but when the soule is pretended that is like the maine fort They begin thus The free-born Communaltie is oppressed with a small number though the calamities of this present life may with a constant patience bee endured yet the soule is to be redeemed even with a thousand deaths new formes of Religion are obtruded the constant pretence of all discontented giddy people Thus we see that the cause of Religion or the tie of conscience doth move the wheeles of all actions most forcibly Though it ill becomes them it is usually in the mouth of all seditious rebels and then in nomine Domini they are most violent The holy league and holy pilgrimes and the brethren are usually the nicknames of rebels Let it not then bee tedious for them who have their Patents sealed at Westminster to heare that they are also sealed with a teste meipso in Heaven The tye of conscience looking at Gods ordinance doth helpe to guard Authoritie as well as the Sheriffe with the posse Comitatûs Seeing then you please to usher Preface and auspicate your waightie affaires with prayers and prayses here in this sacred House after the example of all good Christians holy men in the old Testament Yea and the devout Heathen also who did usually begin à Deo Optimo Maximo So you come hither to do him service to acknowledge your dependance upon him As a labourer or workman comes to know his pleasure that sets him on worke so you here to be directed by Gods Word We of our Tribe can do no lesse but give you your due namely that your power stands not onely upon the supporters of mans policy but the strength of the divine Graunt Therefore as it is Psalme 45.4 Good lucke have you with your honour ride on with the word of truth and righteousnesse Your Commission is both from God and the King It is appointed that Who so sheds mans blood by man c. as may appeare by the meaning of the words which come now to bee opened unto us Herein is layd down the just power and authoritie of the sword not excluding Ecclesiasticall or Oeconomicall that of parents or masters but the publique temporall power is here more principally intended because it speaks of bloud-shed This verse is set like Bifrons Ianus or like Noah who had reference to both Worlds so this verse is a reason both of the former and latter verses 1. God is carefull to prevent the eating of blood verse the 4. that man should have no taste thereof and by that abstinence so much the more abhorre murther and crueltie The reason whoso sheds c. 2. It is a reason of the 7. verse Men may bee encouraged to bring forth fruit and multiply because God hath taken such a course for our safety and preservation by pinioning and swadling the hands of murtherers A man may plant set and sow in a garden with hope and chearefulnesse when it is well fenced hedged walled or empaled The fortification must bee answerable to the danger Murther began betimes even with Cain God bids bee fruitfull for hee hath taken a course with murtherers be they high or low rich or poore for it is said Quicunque generall and indefinite as Peter said Acts 10.34 I perceive there is no respect of persons with God as hee sends his raine to fall and his Sunne to shine so hee would have justice administerd impartially Musculus observes allegorically but it is som-what farfetched Of every Beast ordinary inferiour men that are kept under or of man that is bee hee noble learned wise or any wayes excellent Sheddeth mans blood that is mortally and wilfully And here observe 3. things 1. That any kinde of death is here forbidden as well as the effusion of blood bee it by poisoning strangling or otherwise A man may shed blood and not kill as Chirurgions and a man may kill and not shed blood as poysoners and stranglers 2. Phlebotomy is not here forbidden the opening or cutting of a veine which is not mortall but the taking away of life is here ment which lies in the blood as it is in the fourth verse The heart-blood is the shop or seat of life Hence it is said that though the braine be of greater dignity yet the heart is of greater necessity because it is the fountaine of life No shedding of blood though mortally is here meant if it be done by the Magistrate agreeably to the lawes of God and men no more than the plaintifs Iurers Executioners are guilty for it is said Rom. 13.4 The Magistrate beareth not the sword in vaine But private men upon private quarrells are here restrained 3. Observe that blood-shed is here put for it selfe and other sinnes for this power of the Magistrate is not restrained onely to murther and other causes capitall yea and to criminall but to civill also Else there would be no use of any Bench but that which is for life and death Here then other causes are to bee understood although denominatio fit à principaliori parte This maine offence is branded by name as being inconsistent with society So that this is a principall not the onely sinne for Magistrates to punish as usually the oath at large is given to the fore-man and all the rest are implied Although God be a patient God Rom. 15.5 yea the God of patience and when wee make bold to expresse him by borrowed speeches we say he hath leaden feet hee came sostly and convented Adam deliberately yet he will not suffer the murtherer to stay till the great Assizes at Doomes-day but hee must be punished here by his Lieutenant man This hatefull sinne is is named here we see for all the rest When Saint Paul had a Viper upon his hand Acts 28.4 the Barbarians cried No doubt this man is a murtherer They thought murder to be the non-such of sinnes
