to joyne to His Breastplate of Righteousnesse the breastplate of iron and steele to the Helmet of righteousnesse and salvation in Christ an helmet and crest of iron brasse or steel a target of wood to His shield of Faith His two edged sword comming forth of the mouth of Iesus the materiall sword the worke of Smiths and Cutlers or a girdle of shooes leather to the girdle of truth c. Excellently fit and proper is that alarme and item Psal. 2. Be wise therefore O ye Kings especially those ten Horns Rev. 17. who under pretence of fighting for Christ Iesus give their power to the Beast against Him and be warned ye Iudges of the Earth Kisse the Son that is with subjection and affection acknowledge Him only the King and Iudge of soules in that power bequeathed to His Ministers and Churches lest if His wrath be kindled yea but a little then blessed are they that trust in Him CHAP. XLVI Peace NOw in the second place concerning that Scripture Rom. 13. which it pleaseth the Answerer to quote and himselfe and so many excellent servants of God have insisted upon to prove such persecution for Conscience how have both he and they wrested this Scripture not as Peter writes of the wicked to their eternall yet to their owne and others temporall destruction by Civill wars and combustions in the world My humble request therefore is to the Father of Lights to send out the bright beames of the Sun of Righteousnesse and to scatter the mist which that old serpent the great jugler Sathan hath raised about this holy Scripture and my request to you divine Truth is for your care and paines to inlighten and cleare this Scripture Truth First then upon the serious examination of this whole Scripture it will appeare that from the ninth verse of 12 Chap. to the end of this whole 13 Chap. the Spirit handles the duties of the Saints in the carefull observation of the second Table in their civil conversation or walking towards men and speaks not at all of any point or matter of the first Table concerning the Kingdome of the Lord Iesus For having in the whole Epistle handled that great point of free Iustification by the free Grace of God in Christ● in the beginning of the 12 Chap. he exhorts the Beleevers to give and dedicate themselves unto the Lord both in soule and body and unto the 9 verse of the 12 Chap. he expressely mentioneth their conversation in the Kingdome or Body of Christ Iesus together with the severall Officers thereof And from the 9 ver to the end of the 13 he plainly discourseth of their civill conversation and walking one toward another● and with all men from whence he hath faire occasion to speake largely concerning their subjection to Magistrates in the 13 Chap. Hence it is that verse 7 of this 13 Chap. Paul exhorts to performance of love to all men Magistrates and subjects verse 7. 8. Render therefore to all their due tribute to whom tribute is due custome to whom custome feare to whom feare honour to whom honour Owe nothing to any man but to love one another for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the Law If any man doubt as the Papists speak whether a man may perfectly fulfill the Law every man of found judgement is ready to answer him that these words He that loveth hath fulfilled the Law concerneth not the whole Law in the first Table that is the worship and Kingdome of God in Christ. Secondly That the Apostle speaks not here of perfect observation of the second Table without failing in word or act toward men but layes open the summe and sustance of the Law which is love and that he that walkes by the rule of love toward all men Magistrates and subjects he hath rightly attained unto what the Law aimes at and so in Evangelicall obedience fulfills and keeps the Law Hence therefore againe in the 9 verse having discoursed of the 5 Command in this point of Superiours he makes all the rest of the Commandements of the second Table which concerne our walking with man viz. Thou shalt not kill Thou shalt not commit adultery Thou shalt not steale Thou shalt not beare false witnesse Thou shalt not covet and if there be any other Commandement to be briefly comprehended in this saying namely Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy selfe And verse 10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour therefore love is the fulfilling of the Law that is as before the Law concerning our civill conversation toward All men Magistrates or Governours and fellow subjects of all conditions CHAP. XLVII Peace ALthough the Scripture is sufficient to make the man of God perfect and the foole Wise to salvation and our faith in God must be only founded upon the Rocke Christ and not upon the sand of mens judgements and opinions Yet as Paul alledgeth the judgement and sayings of unbeleevers for their conviction out of their owne tenets and grants So I pray you to set downe the words of one or two not unbeleevers in their persons but excellent and prestious servants and witnesses of God in their times whose names are sweet and pretious to all that feare God who although their judgement ran in the common streame viz. That Magistrates were keepers of the 2 Tables defendors of the Faith against Hereticks and notwithstanding what ever they have written for defence of their judgements yet the light of truth so evidently shined upon their soules in this Scripture that they absolutely denied the 13 of the Romanes to concerne any matter of the first Table Truth First I shall produce that excellent servant of God Calvin who upon this 13 to the Romanes writes Tot a autem haec disputatio est de civilibus praefecturis It aque frustr á inde sacrilegam suam tyrannidem stabilire mosiuntur qui Dominatum in conscientias exerceant But saith he this whole discourse concerneth civill Magistrates and therefore in vaine doe they who exercise power over consciences goe about from this place to establish their sacrilegious tyranny Peace I know how far most men and especially the sheep of Iesus will ●lie from the thought of exercising tyranny over conscience that happily they will disclaime the dealing of all with mens consciences Yet if the Acts and Statutes which are made by them concerning the worship of God be attended to their profession and that out of zeale according to the patterne of that ceremoniall and figurative state of Israel to suffer no other Religion nor worship in their Territories but one their profession and practice to defend their Faith from reproach and blasphemy of Hereticks by Civill weapons and all that from this very 13 of the Romanes I say if these particulars and others be with feare and trembling in the presence of the most High examined the wonderfull deceit of their owne hearts shall appeare unto them and how guilty
