can gladly finde fault with the leuying of subsidies and taxes but we consider not in the meane time what great costes and charges the Prince for our sake is putte vnto We can speake of our homage and attendāce which we giue to the Prince but we say nothing of the great care and trouble that we are content to lay vpon the Princes shoulders We can amplifie and set out to the vttermost the pains and labors that we take our selues but howe busily the Prince watcheth about vs for feare of the inuasions of foreine enimies in what perill of life oure soueraigne stādeth by the occasion of rebels and rebellious hartes vndermining the whole state of the realme the smarte whereof must néedes touche vs if theyr pestilent deuises should take effect therof we will not once make one woorde Yet surely S. Paule teacheth vs very plainely that we shoulde be subiecte and seruiceable to Princes not only for feare of their displeasure if we frowardly behaue our selues but also the great benefites considered whereof by their meanes we haue fruition euen for very conscience sake And for this cause also it is sayeth he y yée pay your tributes your subsidies your taxes wherupō immediatly enioyning vnto vs this charge Giue therfore to all men sayeth he their duetie tribute to vvhome you ovve tribute custome to vvhom custome fear to vvhom feare honoure to vvhom ye ovve honor Neither had that chosē vessell the Apostle sucked that holesome lesson out of his own fingers but rather lōg before lerned it of our sauior Christ Who being captiously demaūded of the Pharisies and other that were Herodes complices whether it were lawfull to giue tribute to Caesar yea or no after he had well viewed their tribute coyne vnderstanding by their answer that the image and superscription of it was Caesars Giue therefore sayde he to Caesar those things that are Caesars and giue vnto God those vvhich are Gods. Sée yée nowe héere I pray yée Yée haue hearde the holy Apostle counselling Christ our sauioure commaunding yea reason and conscience also requiring that we shuld yéelde to Princes their due subsidies What greater argumentes coulde we séeke out that more throughly and effectually could persuade vs Would we sée the practise of godly men by whose example we might be moued Loe héere at hande the good olde father Iosephe who went vp from Galile out of a citie called Nazareth into Iudaea vnto y city of Dauid which is called Bethlehem bicause he was of the house and lignage of Dauid purposely to be taxed with Marie that was giuen him to wife shée being nowe great with childe and therefore as we may well coniecture very vnable to trauaile so long a iourney So then not onely to pay their money it séemed good and reasonable vnto them but also for that only ende so endure vnreasonable great paines And should we in any wise thincke it too much sitting quietly at home in oure owne houses to pay our dueties They bicause of their subiection were content to make this payment to a foreine Prince being vtterly vnto them a straunger And shoulde we not render willingly withall our harts suche righte as belongeth to oure Princes being borne at home in oure owne countrey They yéelded this duetie to an heathen prince and should we deny it to such a gouernor as by al meanes surdereth Christes gospell What a péeuishe frowardnesse were that But of Ioseph and the virgin Marie let this be said Let vs see nowe what a patterne hathe bene prescribed vnto vs by oure Lord and sauioure his owne self What did he I say which taught vs to giue Caesar that which is Caesars right Would he trowe yée that is chéefe mirror of constancie the only exāple of true obedience eyther so muche swarue from their vertuous and godly steps the had bene his bringers vp from his tender youth or so farre step aside frō his owne doctrine that he would refuse in his own person to do that himselfe which before he had willed charged other Nothing lesse For so far was he of frō that minde that although as he truely said kings children of right shuld go frée yet rather than he would giue occasion to the weaker sort to fall or stūble into any error he wold charge Peter his disciple in this maner saying vnto him Go to the sea and cast in an angle take the first fish that commeth vp and vvhen thou hast opened his mouthe thou shalt finde a peece of tvventie pence that take and giue it vnto them for me and thee Wherefore I can not but maruell so muche the more at the great impudencie of our Lordes accusers who sticked not to set on a brasen face with a shamelesse mouthe to make him author of contumacie who onely is the vpholder of Princes thrones saying vve haue found this man peruerting the people and forbidding to pay tribute to Caesar Wherin they blushed neuer a whit to father the lothsome heresie vpon oure blessed sauioure Iesus Christe which Iosephus an auncient Hystoriographer ascribeth rather to one Iudas Gualonites But what lye canne be so abhominable or what slaunder canne be so paste all shame which despite enuie and diuell she malice can not quickly coyne of their owne accorde Euen so are we handled now adayes that be the professors of the gospel of Iesus Christe There is no phrenticke dreame of any Anabaptiste Libertine Swinckseldian or any suche so vaine sottishe and voide of reason which the proctors of the Popes peerelesse power can not finde in their hearts to lay to vs But with howe little equitie or synceritie in this case as in all other they vse to deale wyth vs Iosias Simlerus Bullingerus with suche other as themselues haue impugned their erroures may againste them be open witnesses Wée therefore of oure partes following the steppes of oure Sauioure Christ doe very lightly estéeme such vncharitable forged tales Whereof the falshoode being once knowne we are sure with all godly men wil much more discredite their pretended quarell than by any meanes hinder Christes gospell The .xiij.
