roaring of a Lyon and the very messenger of death and that the subject that provoketh him to displeasure sinneth against his owne soule with many other things concerning both the authority of Princes and the duty of Subjects but here let us rehearse two especiall places out of the new Testament which may stand in stead of all other The first out of Saint Pauls Epistle to the Romans and the 13. Chapter Rom. 13. where hee writeth thus unto all Subjects Let every soule bee subject unto the higher powers for there is no power but of God and the powers that bee are ordained of God Whosoever therefore resisteth the power resisteth the ordinance of God and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation For Princes are not to bee feared for good workes but for evill Wilt thou then bee without feare of the power Doe well so shalt thou have praise of the same for hee is the Minister of God for thy wealth but if thou doe evill feare for hee beareth not the sword for nought for hee is the Minister of God to take vengeance upon him that doth evill Wherefore yet must bee subject not because of wrath onely but also for conscience sake for for this cause yee pay also tribute for they are Gods Ministers serving for the same purpose Give to every man therefore his due tribute to whom tribute belongeth Custome to whom custome is due feare to whom feare belongeth honour to whom yee owe honour Thus farre are Saint Pauls words The second place is in Saint Peters Epistle and the second Chapter whose words are these Submit your selves unto all manner of ordinances of man for the Lords sake whether it bee unto the King as unto the cheife head either unto the ruler as unto them that are sent of him for the punishment of evill doers but for the cherishing of them that doe well For so is the will of God that with well doing yee may stop the mouths of ignorant and foolish men as free and not as having the liberty for a cloake of maliciousnesse but even as the servants of God Honour all men love brotherly fellowship feare God honour the King Servants obey your Masters with feare not onely if they bee good and courteous but also though they bee froward Thus farre out of Saint Peter By these two places of holy Scripture it is most evident that Kings Queenes and other Princes for hee speaketh of authority and power bee it in men or women are ordained of God and to bee honoured and obeyed of their subjects that such subjects as are disobedient or rebellious against their Princes disobey God and procure their owne damnation That the Government of Princes is a great blessing of God given for the Common-wealth especially for the good and Godly for the comforting and cherishing of whom God giveth and setteth up Princes And on the contrary part to the feare and for the punishment of the evill and wicked Finally that if servants ought to obey their Masters not onely being gentle but such as bee froward as well and much more ought subjects to bee obedient not onely to their good and courteous but also to their sharp and rigorous Princes It cometh therefore neither of chance and fortune as they termo it nor of the ambition of mortall men and women climbing up of their owne accord to Dominion that there bee Kings Queenes Princes and other Governours over men being their subjects but all Kings Queenes and other Governours are especially appointed by the ordinance of God And as God himselfe being of an infinite Maiesty Power Psal 1.6.16 and 45 6. c. and 47.2 and Wisedome ruleth and governeth all things in Heaven and Earth as the universall Monarch and onely King and Emperour over all as being onely able to take and beare charge of all Eccles 17. so hath hee constituted ordained and set earthly Princes over particular Kingdomes and Dominions in earth both for the avoyding of all confusion which else would bee in the World if it should bee without Governours and for the great quiet and benefite of earthly men their subiects and also that the Princes themselves in authority power wisedome providence and righteousnesse in government of people and Countries committed to their charge should resemble his heavenly governance as the Maiesty of heavenly things may be the basenesse of earthly things bee shadowed and resembled and for that similitude that is betweene the heavenly Monarchy PLACE = marg Matth. 18.23 and 22.12 and earthly Kingdomes well governed our Saviour CHRIST in sundry parables saith that the Kingdome of Heaven is resembled unto a man a King Psal 10.16 and 45. and 47.2 c. and as the name of a King is very often given and attributed unto God in the holy Scriptures so doth God himselfe sometime vouchsafe to communicate his name with earthly Princes terming them Gods Matth. 22.13 and 25.34 doublesse for that similitude of government which they have or should have not unlike unto God their King Psal 82.6 unto which similitude of heavenly government the neerer and neerer that an earthly Prince doth come in his regiment the greater blessing of Gods mercy is hee unto that Countrey and people over whom hee raigneth And the further and further that an earthly Prince doth swarve from the example of heavenly government the greater plague is hee of Gods wrath and punishment by Gods iustice unto that Countrey and people over whom God for their sinnes have placed such a Prince and Governour For it is indeed evident both by Scriptures and by dayly experience that the maintenance of all vertue and Godlinesse and consequently of the wealth and prosperity of a Kingdome and people doth stand and rest more in a wise and good Prince on the one part then in great multitudes of other men being subiects and on the contrary part the overthrow of all vertue and godlinesse and consequently the decay and utter ruine of a Realme and people doth grow and come more by an undiscreet and evill Governour then by many thousands of other men being subiects Thus saith the holy Scripture Eccles 10.16 Prov. 16. and 29. Eccles 10. Isay 2. Well is thee O thou Land saith the Preacher whose King is come of Nobles and whose Princes eat in due season for necessity and not for lust Againe a wise and righteous King maketh his Realme and people wealthy And a good mercifull and gracious Prince is a shadow in heat as a defence in stormes as deaw as sweet showers as fresh water springs in great drought Againe the Scriptures of undiscreet and evill Princes speake thus Eccles 10.16 Woe bee to thee O thou Land whose King is but a Child and whose Princes are early at their Bankquets Againe when the wicked doe raigne then men goe to ruine And againe Prov. 28. and 29. a foolish Prince destroyeth the people and a covetous King undoeth his Subjects Thus
