26.8 God hath delivered thine Enemy into thine hand what then therefore let me smite him no such matter David denies the consequence as if he should have said God hath delivered him into my hand but ● will make no such bad use of his deliverance I had rather hereby shew him hi● own errour and my innocency then any way stretch forth my hand against him for he is the Lords anointed and when sleep had betrayed Saul to Davids power in the trench and made the King a subject for Davids innocence he esteemed himself but as a Partridge in the wildernesse when he might have caught the Eagle in the nest he passified Sauls Anger by inabling his power to hurt sent him his speare it seems he did not think it fit to keep the Kings Militia in ●●s hands and humbly begs Let not my ●ud fall to the earth when if it had not ●●en for David Abishai would have smi●●n Saul unto the earth at once so that 〈◊〉 needed not to have smiten him the ●●cond time but David would not de●●●oy him not saith he and his reason ●as Quis potest Who can stretch forth ●●s hand against the Lords Anointed ●●d be guiltlesse Another most notable demonstration 〈◊〉 Davids innocency and subjection ●●to a hard Master a most tyrannicall ●●ing cruell Saul we have 1 Sam. 24. ●hen in the Cave of Engiddi David●ight have cut off Sauls head like pre●●ous oyntment he descends only to 〈◊〉 skirts of his garment and with a ●uid feci checks himself and beshrews ●s heart that he had done so much and ●pon a little looking back of Saul as 〈◊〉 he had put on rayes of Majesty Da●●d bows and stoops with his face to 〈◊〉 earth to him when he might have ●id his honour in the dust call'd him 〈◊〉 Father when that father came to ●●crifice him upon the mountaines and ●Isaac-like nothing but See my Father ●hen he could see nothing but fire and sword and himself also the Lamb ready for the sacrifice A true Isaac though many young men staid behind with the Asse will after his Father though he have fire in the one hand and a knife in the other ready for to sacrifice his follower A right David and he that is a man after Gods own heart though he could bite to death and gnaw into the very bowels of his Soveraign yet he will assume no further power to hurt then to the biting of a Flea after whome is the King of Israel come out after a Flea after whom doth Saul pursue after a dead Dog when he might have caught the Lion in the toyle I could easily be endlesse in instances of the like nature as our Saviour Christ's obedience to the death under the reigne of Tiberius his Disciples under Nero Claudius and Caligula whose governments were as opposite to the propagation of the Gospel as themselves were enemies to the propagators of it yet we see they neither attempted the alteration of the one or the destruction of the other yet Christ could do much if he pleased and if the Napkins of Saint Paul and the shadow of Saint Peter could cure diseases if a word out of their mouthes could strike men and women dead in the place if an oration at the Bar could make a King tremble on the Bench then surely you will confesse that his Disciples could do something Yet nothing was done or attempted against those wicked cruell and pagan Emperours one instance shal suffice for all what mischief or injury could be done more to a people then Mebuchadonozer King of Babylon did unto the Jewes who slew their King their Nobles their Parents their Children and kinsefolkes burn'd their Country their Cities their Jerusalem their Temple and carried the re●idue who were left alive Captives with him to Babylon And now behold then Nebuchadonozers good subjects will you hear wat advice the Prophet Daniel gives them for all this Baruch 1.11 Pray you for the life of Nebuchadonozer King of Babilon and for the life of Balthasor his son that their dayes may be upon earth as the dayes of heaven and the Lord will give us strength what to do to wage war against him and lighten our eyes what with new revelations how they may be reveng'd O no that we may live under the shadow of Nebuchadonozer King of Babylon and under the shadow of Balthasor his son and that we may serve them many dayes and find favour in their sight truely shewing that a King is Alkum Prov. 30.31 one against whom there is no rising up that is not upon any pretences whatsoever there can be no pretences whatsoever more faire and specious then those of defending the Church and red●essing the Common-wealth For the first if Religion be any thing push'd at think you that Rebellion will keep it up or that it ever stood in need of such hands when God refus'd to have his Temple built by David because he was a fighter of the Lords Battailes thinke you that he will have his Church defended by fighters against the Lords Anointed to defend Religion by Rebellion were to defend it by meanes condemned by the same Religion we would defend and to reforme or redresse the Common-wealth by insurrection and Rebellion were to rectifie an errour with the greatest of all mischiefs no government worse then a Civill War and the worst Governour is alwayes better then the best Rebell Rebellion is as the sin of Witchcraft and stubbornnesse is as Idolatry and how perilous a thing it is for the Feet to judge the Head the subjects to choose what government and governours they will have to condemne what and whom they please to make what pretences and surmises they have a mind to this Kingdome by wofull experience hath had sad resentments Imbecilities and weaknesses in Princes are no arguments for the chastisements deposing or murdering of Kings for then giddy heads will never want matter or pretences to cloak their Rebellion Shall Moses because Pharaoh was an oppressour of Gods people and had hardned his heart and would not let the Israelites depart therefore inflict punishments upon Pharaoh or so much as depart without his leave though Moses could inflict punishments upon the whole Land yet his Commission never went so far as to touch Pharaoh in the least degree though swarmes of flies came into the house of Pharaoh and Frogs entred into the Kings chamber yet we read not that they seized on Pharaohs person there were Lice in all their quarters saith the Psalmist and there became Lice in man and beast upon the smiting on the dust but none were smitten of the person of the King Boyles and blaines were upon all the Egyptians and upon the Magicians so sore as they could not stand in the presence of Pharaoh but they were not on Pharaoh that he could not stand himself Pharaoh his eldest son may die but Vivat Rex Pharaoh must not be touch'd Did Absolon doe well to conspire against his Father
