Chrysostome maruaileth at the discretion of the woman of Canaan for that neglecting to make the Apostles her spokesmen she pressed forward and petitioned Christ himselfe For how many doe forsake Christ the Fountaine of liuing water and digge vnto themselues pits broken pits that will hold no water I meane how many doe seeke helpe of He-Saints and She-Saints who if they were aliue would be angry with them for seeking their intercession as though Christ sitting at the right-hand of God making intercession for vs were not able enough and as though being touched with the feeling of our infirmities and crying all day long Behold me Behold me as it is in the Prophet And Come vnto me all yee that labour and are laden as it is in the Gospell he were not propense enough of himselfe to relieue vs. For my part I professe that I stand here admi●abundus and adorabundus to consider how wisely fully and cautelously the Apostle beareth himselfe in his teaching phrasing both in this verse and that which went before If he had said Let euery soule be subiect to the Emperour and that no question was a speciall part of his meaning then he might haue beene thought not to haue prouided for those which liued then or might liue hereafter vnder other kindes of Soueraignes as Toparches Terrarches Monarches and in popular States therefore he speaketh in the abstract Higher Powers That the Exhortation might reach to the chiefe Rulers in all ages and Countries Againe if he had named the Dignity and calling onely Higher Powers and not spoken at all in the Concrete Rulers Ministers of God Reuengers c. then humorous fellowes might cauill that little or nothing were due to the persons of the Magistrates whatsoeuer were due to their calling as at this day some law lesse fellowes sticke not to say Put your Office aside I am as good your selfe Therefore as he calleth them before Powers so here he thinketh good to call them Rulers which commeth to the same effect Onely this I must tell you that some very probably doe here restraine the word to inferiour Magistrates that beare ●ule and vse the sword by Commission from the Highest Indeed the Syriack Paraphraste translateth the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in my Text by Daiinei that is Iudges so doth the Arabicke too by Al-chacam Iudges The originall whereof signifieth Wisdome and Learning wherewith Iudges are generally supposed to be furnished So they as S. Paul saith out of the Law that out of the mouth of two or three witnesses euery word shall be established So since we haue the iudgement of two kinds of Learned men that I may not say two Churches the Syriacke and the Arabick● that by Rulers Iudges are here meant I thinke my selfe sufficiently warranted to apply my Text and to peculiarize my speech to this Honorable Assembly To proceed therefore you know it was said in old time What is a Magistrate else but a speaking Law Againe What is the Law else but a dumbe Magistrate It is euen so if the Magistrate were alwayes skilfull and vpright there were but small vse of Lawe Againe if the Law were as actiue as it is equall being made by common consent and vpon mature deliberation there were no great need of Magistrates Therefore these things be maruellous equally and profitably tempered that both the Magistrate must consult the Law for direction and againe The Law must craue ayde of the Magistrate for execution Alterius sic Altera poscit opem res coniurat amicè The necessity of Magistracy appeareth hereby that it was ouer-ruled long agoe euen in Nerva his time that it is better to liue in an Estate where the least offence or the apparency of offence is punished most rigorously than vnder such a one where a man might doe what he would without feare of punishment For rigorousnesse or Tyranny is but like a tempest or whirlewind that throweth downe here and there a fruitfull tree and here and there peraduenture a great tree but confusion or Anarchy like a deluge sweepeth all away all the increase of the earth and all the increase of Cattell and depopulateth whole Townes and Countries Saint Paul saith Who planteth a Vineyard and eateth not of the fruit thereof or who feedeth a flocke and eateth not of the milke of the flocke Againe He that soweth soweth in hope and be that thresheth thresheth in hope that he may be partaker of his hope It is not so where there be no Magistrates for there the Prouerbe is fulfilled that is extant Iohn 4. That one soweth and another reapeth And there the Amalekites I meane irregular and vnthrifty persons children of Belial they lie vpon the Land like Grasse-hoppers for multitude and eate vp euery greene thing and whatsoeuer is for sustenance as it is in the 6. of Iudges or like the Sabeans Iob 1. They driue away our Oxen euen when they be at the plowe and our Asses as they are feeding Therefore blessed be God for Lawes which are the rule of Iustice and blessed be God for Magistrates Iudges by name which are administers of the Law for by their helpe we enioy or recouer euery man his owne and dwell in safety vnder our Vines and Fig-trees from Dan to Beer-sheba from one end of the Land vnto the other as in the dayes of Salomon But on the contrary side where there be 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 onely stragglers here to day and away to morrow where no man hearkneth to another and no man careth for another as it is in the Tragedy there Viuitur ex rapto non hospes ab hospite tutus There by lying and swearing and killing and whoring and stealing they breake forth and blood toucheth blood yea there truth faileth and he that refraineth himselfe maketh himselfe a prey as it is in Esay The necessity therefore that we stand in to haue Iudges being so great and the commodity we reape by them being so singular how beautifull vpon the mountaines ought their very feet to be that bring tydings of their comming and with what alacrity should we receiue them euen as Angels of God at the least-wise as the Deputies of our great King What if they haue ready the vengeance against all wilfull and obstinate disobedience yet vnto the godly they appeare tanquam sidus salutare as a
