IX Whether a King failing in his duty and not performing those things which he hath sworn unto at his Coronation so solemnly the Peo●le are not disobliged in their obedience unto him and may thereupon depose or put him to death IF Kings held their Crowns by Indentures from the People then were the People disobliged to their obedience unto him upon his failing in those things whereto he hath been sworn on his part but if they receive their Crowns immediatly from God and that by him alone Kings Reign as hath been heretofore proved at large then all the failings that can be in a King can but make him a bad King but still he must remain a King the Oath assures us of his being a King not of his being a good King for he was King before he took it Coronation is but a ceremony and his Oath is but at his Coronation the issue of ceremony must not dis-inherit the right heir of all that substance King and Kingdom are like man and wife whose marriages are made in Heaven who are betrothed by God himself Now as in the ceremony between man and woman the husband in the presence of God and Angels and all the Congregation promiseth which is as solemnly binding as any Oath that he will live together with her after Gods holy Ordinance in the sta●● of matrimony that he will love and cherish her maintain and keep her and forsaking all other keep himself only unto her Now if he perform all these things he doth well he is both a good husband and a good Christian considering the vow that he hath made but if he doth not live with her according to Gods holy Ordinance nor love nor cherish her as he should nor maintain and keep her as he ought Shall it be lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause Mat. 19.3 much less can it be lawful for the wife to put away her husband upon every distaste It was God that made them male and female Mat. 19.4 and therefore it is fit they should continue together so They twain are but one flesh Mat. 19 5. therefore they cannot be divided God joyned them both together Mat. 19.6 therefore no man can put them assun●er Now to apply this to the King wedding himself to his People at his Coronation the King solemnly takes his Oath at his Coronation before all the People that he will live tog●ther with them according to the Laws of the Land that he will protect and defend them to the uttermost of his ●ower with all other protestations contained in the said Oath which if he doth perform he doth well and is both a good man and a good King but if he should not govern them accordingly to the Laws of the Land and if he should not cherish and defend his People shall it be lawful for his wife ●o make away this husband God forbid God made him King them Subjects therefore they must continue so like man and wife for better for worse they two are both one the head may not be divided from the body and quae Deus conjunxit nemo separet there have been Bills of divorcement given unto these King-husbands in former times but of those Bills I may say as our blessed Saviour said of the Bills of divorcement which Moses commanded it was propter duri●iem cordis Mat. 19.7 Deut. 24.1 for the hardness of
