Likewise the holy Apostle exhorteth men to all dutifulnesse and obedience in the behalfe of Princes Rom. 13 1.5.6.7 Let euery soule saith hee be subiect vnto the higher powers not because of wrath onely but also for conscience sake For this cause saith he yee pay also tribute for they are Gods ministers applying themselues for the same thing Giue therefore to all men their dutie tribute to whom yee owe tribute custome to whom custome feare to whom feare honor to whom ye owe honor He also enioyneth Titus the first Bishop of Crete Tit. 3.1 2. to put the people in remembrance that they should bee subiect to the principalities and powers and that they bee obedient and ready to euery good worke And truly if it be a good worke for the brother to relieue the brother in his neede with a portion of his goods it cannot but be a farre better worke for the children to releiue the parent in his neede Now the Prince is the parent of the patrie and the great and common father of this great family the subiects are the Princes children and therefore they are bound to impart vnto him a part and portion of their goods when as his neede presseth him to require the same at their hands And the Apostle telling vs that Princes are Gods Ministers in the very leuying and taking of tribute doth teach vs that when we pay tribute vnto Princes or affoord them any such furtherance subsidie or reliefe that we doe it not so much vnto them as vnto God himselfe For what good office soeuer we performe at any time vnto Gods Ministers but chiefly to his chiefe Minister that hee doth repute as done vnto himselfe And therefore wee ought to obey the Prince in this duty as in all other not onely for feare of his anger and indignation but also for the conscience we must make of our Christian vocation and subiectionall condition 1 Pet. 2.17 Feare God honor the King saith the blessed Apostle S.

Exod. 22.8 Psal 82.1.6 Ioh. 10.34.35 as we must honor God with our riches and the oblations of our handes so must wee likewise them whom God hath called Gods to wit godly Princes whom when as wee honour with our riches in giuing them cheerefully a portion for their honourable prouision then wee honour God himselfe with our riches as Salomon exhorteth all men to doe that would haue God to blesse them with aboundance And truly if wee would bee loath to let God want if hee were subiect to want in his owne person as man is then ought wee likewise bee loath to let the Prince want who representeth God and therefore is called God to teach vs that what wee bestow vpon him we offer vnto God and in whose person God oftentimes carrieth himselfe as one that wanteth and standeth in neede of our helpe And if wee
