A80756	The royal prerogative vindicated in the converted recusant convinced by Scripture, reasons, fathers, and councils, that the oath of abjuration (compared with those of allegiance, and supremacy) containeth nothing, but what may be lawfully taken by every pious Christian, and loyal subject; and that the known doctrine, and discipline of the Church of England, in opposition to Popery on the one hand, and all sects, and schisms on the other, is the safest way to peace and loyalty here, and salvation hereafter. To which is annexed The King's supremacy in all causes, ecclesiastical, and civil, asserted in a sermon preached at the assises at Monmouth before Sir Robert Hide, one of his Majestie's judges, March 30. 1661. / By John Cragge, M.A.	Cragge, John, M.A.	1661 (1661)	Wing C6790; Wing C6786; Thomason E2261_1; Thomason E2261_2; ESTC R210148	173,676	266

clypeos usurpare non vibrare lanceam nec arcum tendere nec jaculum mittere sed tantum arguere liberā praestare admonitionem Chrysoft De verb. Isaiae Hom. 4. It is the Priest's office onely to reprove and freely admonish not to move arms not to use shields not to shake lances not to bend a bow or throw a dart but onely to argue and freely to reprove Neither did Azariah depose Vzziah from his royal authority which he retained till death for a Kings xv 2. he was sixteen years old when he began to reign and he reigned fifty two years in Jerusalem for he was sixty and eight years old as Josephus (s) Joseph lib. 9. Antiquit cap. 11. relates when he died And though he was (t) 2 Kings xv 5. 2 Paral xxvi 21 23. shut up according to the Law and his Son Jothan substituted as lieu-Lieu-tenant under him to oversee the King's house and judg the people of the land yet he arrogated not to himself the reins of government till Vzziah slept with his Fathers Gent. You have given a satisfactory answer to this of Azariah but methinks that of (u) 2 Kings xi Athaliah is more intricate and intangled with more difficulties Minist The Answer of both is alike easy which I shall clearly discover unto you if you will be pleased to remember first when (x) 2 Kings xi 1 2. Ahaziah the Son of Joram and King of Judah was dead his Mother Athaliah slew all the royal seed except Joah the Son of Ahaziah whom his Aunt Jehosheba the Wife of Jehoiada the Priest had privily hid for the space of six years in the house of the Lord then (y) 2 Paral. xxiii 1 2 11. Jehoiada not as High-Priest but as the King's Vnkle by affinity and his guardian nor he alone but the Captains of hundreds the Levites gathered out of all the cities of Judah and the chief of the Fathers of Israel brought out Joash the King 's Son and put upon him the Crown admitting him (z) In regnum quod ei tam jure haereditario tum ipsius Dei consilio debebatur adscivisse Andreros into possession of that Kingdom which was his own by right of inheritance and God's decree Lastly When Joash was thus invested with royalty Jehoiada the High-Priest commissioned with his authority (a) 2 Paral. xxiii 14. brought forth the bloody Vsurpress Athaliah and sentenced her to death as a condigne punishment for her cruelties Gent. I am convinced that they that prefer the Mitre before the Diadem that is Papal before Princely power have no countenance from the Old Testament is it disowned also by the New Minist If Civil Magistrates before the coming of Christ exercised supream authority both over Priests and people as subject to them it is not probable that Christ took it away or impeached it in the least which Saint Augustine proclaims in the Name and person of Christ (b) Audi circumcisio audi praputium audite omnia regna terrena Non impedio dominationem vestram in hoc mundo regnum menon est de hoc mundo sed celeste est August Tract 115. in Johan Hear circumcision hear uncircumcision hear all Kingdoms of the earth I do not hinder your dominion in this World my Kingdom is not of this World but is celestial or spiritual And St. Choysostom declares that (c) Christus leges suas non ad hoc induxit ut policias everteret sed ut melius institueret Chrysost Hom 23. in xiii ad Rom. Christ did not introduce his Laws for this end that he might overthrow States and Governments but that he might better instruct them Now among all the divine Aphorisms of Government registred in the New Testament that of Saint Paul is most solemn Rom. xiii 1. Let every soul be subject 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to the higher powers that is those that carry the Sword to whom tribute is due so that your Jesuit Pererius is forced to acknowledg that Augustine Chrysostome and almost all the Antients understood Paul to speak here onely of secular power Every soul saith Saint (d) Omnis omnino anima etiamsi Apostolus sit si Evangelista si Propheta quisquis tandem fuerit Chrysost in xiii ad Roman cui Theodoret. Theophylact Oecumenius assentiuntur Chrysostome whether it be Apostle or Evangelist or Prophet or whosoever He shall be Pope or Patriarch 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 must be subject Which Paul confirms by his own example standing at Caesar's judgment seat of whom saith (e) Acts xxv 10. he 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 I must be judged and no wonder seeing Christ (f) John xix 11. himself paied tribute to Caesar and confessed that Pilate the President of a little Province had power over him given from above And Saint Peter who exhorts his fellow Presbyters to (g) 1 Pet. v. 2. feed the flock of God admonishes them also to (h) 1 Peter ii 13. submit themselves to every Ordinance of man for the Lord's sake whether it be to the King 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as supreme Gent. I see the New Testament also is clear for civil Princes Supremacy yet one scruple troubles me how Sheep should be superiour to their Pastours even civil Princes who are also Sheep are commanded Heb. xiii 17. to obey them that have the rule over them and submit themselves for they watch for their Souls Whereupon Saint Ambrose saith (k) Nihil in hoc saeculo excellentius Sacerdote nihil Episcopo sublimius reperiri Ambros De dignitate Sacerd cap. 3. There is nothing more excellent in this world then a Priest nothing higher then a Bishop How can these things agree Minist Well enough for Princes and Presbyters are mutually Pastours one to another in diverse respects which Saint Chrysostom lays open saying (l) Oves Pastor magnà potestate cogere ad perferendam morborum curationem queat quam non sustinent sponte easque ad feracia tuta pàscua compellere si vagae depascantur sterilia abrupta loca Chrvsost lib. 2. De Sacerdotio A Pastour can compel his Sheep with great power to submit to the cure of their diseases which willingly they would not and drive them to fruitful and wholsom Pastures when they stray to barren and infectious places Thus secular Princes are stiled Pastours by a borrowed Speech because they gather their Subjects whether Clergy or Laity into order by coercive and external power and fear of punishment But saith the same (m) Episcopi Presbyteri homines rationales Christi oves suadendo non vim afferendo commovere debent ut se curari sinant Chrysost ibid. Chrysostom Bishops and Presbyters which are Pastours of Souls ought to work upon men as the reasonable sheep of Christ by perswasion not by compulsion to suffer themselves to be cured Thus the Bishop of Rome hath onely a perswasive but no just coercive power over his own Italian
