like the word of God may be sleighted but in the end it will appeare a word of power and shall be suffered with death where it was not obeyed with duety For against the King there is no rising up Nemo qui insurgit sayes Junius Nemo qui insurgat sayes Clarius I wish hee had beene a Prophet By Solomons rule it is unlawfull to beare Armes against the King And so it is by Saint Pauls rule too his precept is obedience to the higher powers not to the naked authority as Mr. Burrowes would make that man beleeve that is given over to beleeve a lye but to the person cloathed with that power For if {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} may signifie power in the abstract or the power of the Law without relation to the person that made that Law yet {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} must of necessity note the person and the superiority of the person that hath this power conferred upon him and such power no person in England hath but onely the King of England His great Counsell may ju● dicere he onely can jus dare and therefore to him must every English soule be subject subject actively licitis and subject passively in illicitis both wayes so farre subject as that we may not resist The reason is for if we doe we shall receive damnation the word is {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} and that signifies not the plundering of the goods at home not the hanging of the body abroad but the everlasting damnation of the soule and body in Hell notwithstanding Mr. Marshals new Lexicon If now you beleeve Solomon or Saint Paul I could add Moses and all the other Prophets Saint Peter and all the other Apostles It is not lawfull for any man for any sort of men to beare Armes against the King Yea therefore every man must assist the King with Armes and contribute to the maintenance of his Warres for they that doe not are the children of Belial The children of Belial said How shall this man save us they despised him and brought him no presents And doe not the Fathers assent to the same Why else did Justin Martyr say For our Religions sake and preservation of publike peace we Christians O Emperour yield you our helpe and assistance It was Tertullians glory that Christians were never found Albinians Nigrians Cassians or any other sort of Traytors Athanasius professed it not lawfull to say or speake otherwise then wel of Majestie Nazianzen knew no meanes lawful to restrain the persecutour but tears St. Ambrose knew no other way to resist then with teares St. Austine commended the Christians for obeying Julian I could name St. Gregory Fulgentius St. Bernard and many more For all heare the Anathema of a full Assembly of Bishops in the Conncell of Toledo Whosoever shall violate that Oath which he hath taken for the preservation of the King's Majesty whosoever shall attempt to destroy or depose the King whosoever shall aspire to the Regall Throne Let him bee accurst cast out of the Church and together with his Complices bee condemned with the Devill and his angels eternally let them be all tyed in the bond of damnation who were joyned in the society of Sedition Here now let no man say That these Fathers command obedience to good Kings onely for some of those Kings whom they command to obey were Hereticks some Idolaters some Apostata'es some Tyrants most of them bad enough Let no man say the Christians did not resist because they had not strength and power enough for Tertullian tells you They had Cyprian tells you They had Saint Gregory the Great tells you They had the number of Christians was A principio from a few yeares after the Apostles Nimius copiosus both strong and numerous Let no man say Christian Religion and their priviledges were not yet established for they were Constantine the Great and his successors established them and daily added to their Immunities And now judge your selves Beloved whether you were better beleeve the Scriptures and the Fathers then some yong Teachers and schismatical Divines crept up but yesterday and never durst appeare in Old England till now and now they doe appeare they dare not dispute verbis but verberibus and God first or last will give them their belly full Certainely if our Brethren were not wilfully blinde they would joyne with us and conclude It is not lawfull to beare Armes or contribute to maintaine a Warre against the King They were children of Belial that brought King Saul no presents and to Belial they all must without Gods infinite mercie and their owne repentance who now maintaine a Warre or beare Armes against King Charles And this is evident fourthly and lastly by those fearefull punishments and judgements which God and man from time to time have inflicted upon Rebells and Traytors even such as have borne Armes and maintained War against their Kings Looke else upon those intentionall Rebells Corah the Clergie Rebell Dathan and Abiron the Laie-Rebells the one by a fire from Heaven is sent into the fire of Hell the other through the earth fall into the pit of the damned So Saint Basil Looke else upon that verball Rebell Shimei hee is put to an untimely and ignominious death Looke else upon those actuall Rebells Achitophel a great Polititian Absolon a Favourite of his Fathers and of the peoples affections the one hangs himselfe the other is hanged in a tree And Sheba for but blowing a seditious Trumpet for but striking up a rebellious Drumme hath his head cut-off See my Beloved see if yee can finde but one even but one Rebell either in holy or humane Histories that ever escaped unpunished either by the hand of God in a troubled and perplexed conscience or by the hand of man in an untimely and odious death Brutus with the same hand and Dagger hee stabbed his King Caesar he kils himselfe That seditious Ring-leader of the Jewes against Adrian the Emperour who called himselfe Ben-Chobab or Filius stellae is suddenly kild and ever after scornfully remembred by the name of Ben-C●zba or the Sonne of a Lye I have heard of a certaine Commander whose name I am not willing to remember who often wisht he might rot if ever he lift his hand or drew his Sword against the King notwithstanding he did both and God answered his wish hee rotted within and dyed A certaine Lord I have likewise heard of a great Ring-leader in a Rebellion yet a great pretender to a Reformation who in his exercises of Devotion would often desire God If the cause he took were not right if the cause he managed were not just he would take him away suddenly God heard him and answered him for by the shot of a Musket he is killed so suddenly that he had not so much time as to say God be mercifull unto me and so without signe or symptome of repentance dyed I need not remember you of Pausanias Ariobarzanes Rodolph Duke of Suevia Catiline of Rome and many of England Not one of them all nor any other that I remember or have read of but if he lived he lived the scorne of honest men and if he dyed he dyed the shame of his Friends the mirth of his enemies and the example of all God in the shamefull and fearefull punishments of them telling us That to beare Armes or contribute to maintaine a Warre against the King is utterly unlawfull That the people of this Kingdome may no longer do it With the Church I pray From all Sedition and privy Conspiracie from this present dangerous Rebellion from all false Doctrine and Heresie from hardnesse of heart and contempt of thy Word and Commandement Good Lord deliver us Amen FINIS Questions Resol.

to lay before your face some of those fearefull judgements which have befallen some men that have borne Armes against their Kings as fearefull examples for them who now contribute for the maintenance of such warres And first for the objections I meet but with two that carrie any seeming validitie with them many more there are As 1. The peoples rescuing Jonathan from Saul 2. Elisha's shutting the doore and holding fast the messenger that came from King Joram 3. Jebues killing that King Joram 4. Ahikams defending the Prophet from the tyrany of King Jehoiakim 5. The withstanding of Vzziah the King by Azariah the Priest 6. The Deposing of Athaliah the Queene But they are all frivolous and want weight Et eâdem facilitate repelluntur quâ proponuntur The first that carries any shew with it as I conceive is Davids taking up Armes against King Saul and hence the Rebells argue thus David the Subject tooke up Armes against Saul the King and was not rebuked for it either by Divines Lawyers or States-men many of his fellow-Subjects tooke up armes with him to the number of 600. and very likely many more contributed to the maintenance of that Army nor yet were they reprehended by Divinity Law or Pollicie and therefore Subjects may in some cases take up Armes and contribute to the maintenance of a Warre against their King if he be an oppressour of their Properties Liberties or Religion And to this colourable objection it is answered the allegation is false false and absurd both false because David was so farre from taking up these Armes against King Saul that he continually fled from him and never fought with him yea so farre from fighting with King Saul he was that when God had delivered him two several times into his hands once at the Edge hill of Hackilah and once in the wildernesse of Eugedi he durst not himselfe nor would hee suffer any man else to stretch forth his hand against King Saul and for this onely reason Because he was the Lords annointed false therefore And absurd too to imagine that David should raise or entertaine 600. men to fight against King Saul who never went without 3000. men at his heeles Impar congressus and very unlearnedly is David with his 600. men urged as an example or argument to justifie disloyalty Nor will that addition helpe it viz. That King David was 40000. strong for he was not so strong till after Sauls death as appeares in the story But admit it for truth that David was 40000. strong in the dayes of Saul yet this is so farre from being an argument to justifie Rebellion or taking up Armes against the King as that it doth altogether condemne it for notwithstanding so great strength yet David never pursued Saul never let flie any murthering arrowes dart ston● at or against King Saul but still fled from him and to put him out of all such feares and jealousies hee got himselfe with all his Forces out of his Kingdome and begged a place for his habitation of Achish King of Gath. Let all our rebells follow David in the whole example and wee shall both allow this quotation and also commend their imitation yea and pray they may have so many followers that there may not bee one Rebell left to lift up his hand against King Charles the Lords Annointed Object 2 The second objection of any colourable strength is that of Jeroboam from whence it is thus argued Rehoboam the son of Solomon refused to ease the people of their burthens and therefore the people tooke up Armes and set up Jeroboam to be King over them and this was so farre from being a sinne that the Text sayes It was from the Lord and therefore Subjects may in some cases beare Armes against their King It was answered The Scripture here sets downe Rei gesta veritatem non facti aequitatem and hereupon sayes Saint Austin Quia factum legimus non ideo faciendum credimus s●ctando enim exemplum violimus praeceptum nor can wee any more free our selves from the breach of the fift Commandement if wee take up Armes against our King upon this example then wee can from the breach of the eight Commandement if wee plunder and robbe our neighbours upon the example of the Israelites spoyling the Egyptians True Jeroboam was King and that was from the Lord but by permission onely not appointment and God in that permission at once punished Solomons Idolatry and Rehoboams follie but notwithstanding this that act of the people in revolting from Rehoboam was Rebellion and so called by God himselfe in two severall places and God punished this Rebellion of theirs so fearefully that he first gave them up to Idolatry and afterwards drove them out into Captivity and this is commonly the reward of Rebells First they turne Idolaters or what is tantomount irreligious let any one say what Religion the Rebells are of and so are hated by God and afterwards are made slaves and so are hated by men That we may never fall into the one or the other either Idolatry or Captivitie Almightie God keepe us from Rebellion Amen The Scripture affords not one more colourable example to justifie the taking up of Arms against the King and therefore the Rebells of this age borrow one from our owne Country Object 3 Richard the second was deposed by Parliament and therefore a King of England may be resisted I answer it Infandum scelerate jubet renovare pudorem If the Rebells were not past all shame they would never have remembred this Factum since it is without all Aequum and to this day remaines the blemish of our Nation and this very act brought such miseries upon this Kingdome that untill two Kings one Prince ten Dukes two Marquesses 21. Earls 27. Lords 2. Viscounts one Lord Prior one Judge 139. Knights 421. Esquires Gentlemen of a vast number and 100000. Common people were slaine in these Civill Warres England never saw happy dayes This repetition hath rethorique enough to stirre you up to sorrow I say no more of it therefore but that we may againe see peace and happinesse in our dayes God put a period to them that beare Armes against King Charles Amen For it is unlawfull as appeares 2. by Scripture I will name but two instead of two hundred The first is that of Solomons whose precept is That we keepe the Kings Commandement id est Whatsoever he commands so it be not against the word of God The reason of this precept is double 1. In regard of conscience Because of the Oath of God we have sworne to it and we have called God to witnesse to the truth of our intention and endeavour to performe this Oath and accordingly we may expect God● rewarder or a revenger The second reason is in regard of power For where the word of a King is there is power q. d. For a while the word of a King
