thought it meete to apply the woordes of the Prophet in these foure last verses of this Psalme to them that be assembled and to the present occasion of assemblyng And herein I must speake of another manner of hatred then the Prophet ment of in these wordes when he saith Haue not I hated them that hate thee c. And I am occasioned so to do by that which I reade in the first chapter of the booke of prophecies of Malachie the prophet where it is wrytten thus Iacob haue I loued but Esau haue I hated It is not ment here that the Lord hated Esau wyth that hatred that Dauid speaketh of in these wordes of the Psalme whych I haue in hand but that he did so hate him that he would not chuse hym to be Lord ouer hys brethren notwithstanding that by nature the birth-right dyd belong vnto hym for he was the elder and the first borne And Iacob hee loued so that notwithstanding he was the younger the honour of birthright was geuen vnto hym and hee was made Lord ouer his brethren After this sort also dyd the Lord hate the elder sonnes of Iesse which wer in number .vij loued Dauid that was yonger then they all and hee commaunded Samuel to take his horne of holy oyntment and to anoynt Dauid king ouer al Israel There was none among the brethren of Dauid that was not in the iudgement of man meete to be preferred before Dauid and therefore their father presented them to Samuel one after another and shewed him selfe to make none accompt of Dauid But the Lord so loued Dauid and hated hys brethren that he refused them and chose Dauid to be king ouer his people Applying thys scripture to you that be presēt therfore I must first speake of this hatred and this loue admonishing as many of you as are to geue voyces in this election that you hate with this hatred of refusal all such as you see to haue in thē those conditions as should not bee in any that should be chosē to beare rule among the people of God and that you loue with thys loue that I haue spoken of such one as hath in hym those thynges that by the scriptures are required to be in him that shall be chosen to be a Ruler First in the fyft booke of Moses called Deuteronomium it is written that the people of Israel might not chuse any to be their king that wer not their brother that is descended out of the loynes of Abraham and one of the twelue kynreds of Israell A man circumcised that therby had made a solemne profession to obserue keepe all the lawes and statutes of the Lord hys God. If that people myght not make them a Ruler of one that were not a brother by bloud and Religion how may we that professe the religion of Christ chuse one to be our Ruler that is not of one religion wyth vs You therefore to whom it belongeth to geue voyces in this electiō must haue regard to the religion of him whom you shal chuse He must not be an Athiste that is a mā that hath no religion hee must not be a sectary an hereticke or sismaticke He must not be a Papist for of all Sectaries the Papist is most contrary to Christ I meane the right Papist who doth acknowledge the Pope to bee the vniuersall head of the vniuersall church of Christ for that is to set the Pope in the seate of Christ and so consequently to depose Christ and to set vp the Pope in hys place and so is hee become Antichrist S. Paule in the .2 chapter of his second Epistle to the Thessalonians doth lyuely describe this Antichrist vnder the name of the man of syn He shall sayth S. Paule aduaunce him selfe aboue all that is called God. That is aboue all Princes For in the Scriptures Princes are called Gods because they be Gods Leuetenants vpon earth and as saynt Paule doth terme them they are Gods reuengers and beare the sword that by the vse thereof they may reuenge Gods quarell in punishing the transgressors and breakers of Gods lawes Of Princes the Prophet Dauid doth in the Psalme .82 write thus in the person of God him selfe Ego dixi Dii estis I haue sayd it you are Gods. And our sauiour Christ him selfe doth cite the same wordes as we reade in the Gospel Wherfore the Pope aduauncing hym selfe aboue Princes doth shew him selfe to be that man of synne that saynt Paule doth write of in that place and so consequentlye to bee Antichrist for by that man of synne hee meaneth Antichrist He sitteth also in the Temple of God and boasteth hym selfe as though he were God and this he doth in twoo poyntes especiallye First in that he taketh vpon him to dispose kingdomes then in that hee presumeth to pardon synnes For both these thynges belong to God alone and no creature may enterprise to do either of these Per me regnant Reges sayth Wisdome and by Wysedome is ment God him selfe By God alone therfore doo Kinges raygne And the Prophet Dauid saith that promotion cōmeth neither from the East nor from the West neyther from the North. c. but it is God that ouerthroweth one and setteth vp another The Pope therefore in disposyng kingdomes as hee hath and would presently dispose this kyngdome if his power would stretch so farre doth take vpon hym that which belongeth to God alone and therefore sytting in the Church of Christ which is the temple of God he boasteth him selfe as though he were God and sheweth hym selfe to be that man of synne that saynt Paule speaketh of He taketh vpon him also to forgeue syns which none can do but God onely In his Buls of Iubilie these wordes are insert A pena a culpa that is from the payne due to the fault and from the fault also So that he acquiteth and dischargeth the synner of the fault of hys sinne and maketh him as innocent as if he had neuer cōmitted synne And herein hee maketh hym selfe equall or rather superiour to God him selfe for no Inferiour can pardon the trespasse that is committed against his Superiour If any subiect should presume to pardon the treason that is cōmitted against his Prince what could that Prince thinke of that Subiect otherwyse then of one that taketh him selfe to be of greater authority then hys Prince or at the least of as great authoritye By these two practises therfore the Pope maketh him self knowen to as many as wyll know hym to be that Antichrist whom S. Paul calleth the man of synne And so by good consequence whosoeuer is a right Papist is most vnmeete to rule amongest Christians You therfore to whom it belongeth to geue voyces in this election looke wel to the religion of him whom you chuse if any be a Papist so hate him as God hated Esau and Dauids elder brethren that you refuse hym and chuse hym not to
