generality or middle sort of men saith he James 2. 6. Ye have despised the poor Do not the rich men oppresse you and draw you before the judgement-seat As if he should say I appeal to your own knowledge whether it be not the rich ones that bring all evil upon you ye despise the poor harmlesse men which love God and not the world and ye would not have them which by Gods apointment should reign over you and ye have chosen the rich to reign over you that love the world and not God but what do you get by it do they not make war among you to maintain their humours draw you drive you yea consume you to nothing many times this you see is true And again these poor must not be such poor as make themselves voluntarily poor you know some of the Church of Rome do so and glory in it but alas it is a vain glory Neither are they such as become poor by prodigality and evil-husbandry but such poor as the Lord doth delight in and which follow him and have been industrious also yet through crosses and temptations have been kept alwayes under by the power of God so that they could not attain to any state in the world for they do not desire it much being content with what God sends them for they know riches is a tempting thing that doth cause many to forget God and be as strangers to him and that of this sort is the tempting love of riches to which most mens wills are inclinable and therefore it is a dangerous temptation 1 Timoth. 6. 9 10. buried in oblivion by them for the temptation they are acquainted with is their sufferings and their adversaries reproaching of them because of their godlinesse and low condition and to such poor our Saviour saith Luke 22. 28 29 30. Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations and I appoint unto you a kingdome as my Father hath appointed me That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdome and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel And as Saint James saith James 1. 12. Blessed is the man that indureth temptation for when he is tried he shall receive the crown of life which the Lord hath promised to them that love him for you must understand that these poor must be just and holy ones and that no wicked ones shall inherit this kingdome of God 1 Cor. 6. 9 10. Let this suffice to prove that Christs kingdome is that which I have shewed you in the foregoing passage Now I say unto you It is in vain for any to think of setting up any other Government as saith the Angel to Ezra 2 Esdras 10. 54. for in the place wherein the highest beginneth to shew his kingdome or citie there can no mans building be able to stand and God hath begun here to shew it this many years therefore your buildings fall Reasons why this kingdome should be set up among us 1. Because it is of Christ founded Therefore it is his kingdome which is most perfect though contrary to the kingdomes of men which shall stand for ever to his glory 2. Because we were taught by Christ to pray saying Thy kingdome come Therefore we ought to endeavour to fulfill our prayers in setting it up for our good 3. Because such a King being old and hath not long to live here and but a poor allowance of a hundred pound a year one that fears God and is chosen of God by lot one whose integrity is known to men before he is chosen so that he never was for the world I say such a one will do right and cannot do wrong for the fear of God his age weaknesse disability in money and the Law will bind him to it There is none else can do us right but such a one as Christ and his Apostles and I do shew you for our former Kings had mighty Revenues and power therefore they did what they listed against Law and Reason for which cause they came to destruction many times Our former Parliaments being up were worse then our Kings laying heavier burthens on us Therefore the Generall of our Army pulls them down and he sets up himself under the name of Protector but nothing is mended therefore the Army pulls him down and are in confusion not knowing what to do and nothing shall stand but this kingdome that I shew you because it is of God it is in vain for you to set up any other form of Government for it shall fall it shall be pull'd down by others 4. This Kingdom is not any way against the Kings of the earth but of much advantage to secure both great and smal in their just Rights for whereas now they through their corrupt and boundlesse resolution hazard souls bodies States to maintain their prodigall unjust deeds untill they lose all for it this kingdome and King will keep them in safety and sure possession for understanding that they are to give account every third year they will take heed what they do and not run in such extravagant unjust courses and ungodly wayes and have much more comfort by it then now they have for God the people will blesse them and there is no other way to establish and confirm every one in his just right but this for Christ is the Prince of peace and will not disinherit any line yet will punish offenders and preserve their seed that amend 5. It prevents all treason for to what end should any conspire against this King that hath but a hundred pound a year which they shall not enjoy if they kill him the Law goes on another is chosen and they are to suffer the most infamous and cruel death as can be devised and none can come that way to reign in this kingdome It shall not be here as formerly it was or as the saying is Treason never prospereth for if it prosper who dare call it treason They shall not advance themselves thereby all treason aims at some good advantage and preferment but here is nothing to be had if any do it death and damnation is their reward which none living can desire therefore this King needs no guard God and his innocency is sufficient for his guard and let not his Deputy have any guard to encourage him in wickednesse but let him have officers persons to keep order about him as the Lord Major of London hath now about him 6. Because in such a King Christ comes to reign upon earth for Christs coming must be as the coming of Eliah was in John Baptist for Eliah was taken up to heaven 2 Kings 2. 10 11. as Christ was Acts 1. 9 10 11. and it was as hard a thing to see him ascend as it was to see Eliah ascend and as there was a promise that Eliah should come on earth again Malachi 4. 5. So he came in John Baptist Luke 1. 17. and Christ saith that John was that
