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
A Sermon made in the Chappel at the Gylde Halle in London the .xxix. day of September 1574. before the Lord Maior and the whole state of the Citie then assembled for the chusing of their Maior that shuld then succede in the gouernmēt of the same Citie Coneionatore Roberto Croleo ¶ Perused and licenced according to the Quoenes Maiesties Iniunction ¶ Imprinted at London by Iohn Awdeley 1575 TO THE RIGHT honorable sir Iames Hawes Knight Lord Maior of the Citie of London and to his worshipful Brethren the Aldermen with the whole state of the same Citye Robert Crowley wisheth continuance in the feare of GOD. BEing by the Lord Maior that then was appointed to occupy the place of a better in your Chappell at the Gilde hall on that day wherin according to your yearely custome you were gathered together to make choyse of one to rule your Citie for the yeare then to come I dyd bende all my speeches to the instruction of as many of you as were to geue voyces in that Election and of him that was then to be elected And although I dyd not then so well lyke of myne owne doing that I could thinke it meete to be penned and published to the view of all that would reade it yet I perceiued afterward that manye amongest you were desirous to haue it in writing that it might remaine in memory and be a rule for you and your posteritie to follow in yout yearely Elections Being therefore requested by one that seemed to mee most desirous of this common commoditie to set downe in writyng that which I had then spoken I could not deny that so honest and reasonable a request But beyng then oppressed with manyfold exercises I differred the doing thereof almost to long euen tyll memorie began to be amazed when she should make report to my pen of those wordes which she not before wylled to retaine And then I began to feele that age cannot easely do that wherof youth maketh small accompt Yet notwythstandyng I caused my Memorie to searche out all her corners and to bring forth that which she foūd and so haue I penned as my Memorie telleth me almost the same wordes that I then spake and in the same order that I then did speake them And because I thought that thys instruction might serue as well for al other Elections as for that which then was in hand I thought good to adde an Appēdix wherein I haue applyed the whole matter of euery Election to be made of any that must serue in any publike calling either Ecclesiasticall or Ciuile If this my labour haue or shall do any good the praise thereof is due to God the doer of all that is wel done who first moued the myndes of your Rulers to thinke me meete to occupy that place at that tyme and my mynde to conceyue and vtter suche matter there and the minde of him that first moued mee to conceiue it in writing and the myndes of them that haue thought it meete to be imprinted To GOD therefore especially I do dedicate this my labour and generallye to all you whom he hath herein vsed as his instrumentes Beseeching his Maiestie to accept of that which hee hath made me able to do and to employ both it and mee to the commoditie of hys Church and you to take at hys hande the fruit of this my labour whom hee hath in this matter vsed as his instrumēt to instruct you how ye ought to deale not onely in this one yearelye election of your Maior but in all your other Elections also The Lord Iesus Christ whose Seruauntes we all do professe to be direct vs by his holy Spirite that in all our workes words and thoughtes we may seeke to set foorth the glorie of his and by him our heauenly Father To whom with the same his onely begotten sonne the holy spirit be al honor glory for euermore Amen Yours to commaund in the Lord Robert Crowley ¶ A Sermon made in the Chappel at the Gilde hall in London the .xxix. day of September in the yeare of our Lord God. 1574. before the Lord Maior and the whole state of the Citie then assembled for the chusing of their Maior that should then succéede in the gouernment of that Citie Concionatore Roberto Croleo IN the Psalme 139. it is written thus in the latter ende of the Psalme Do not I hate thē O Lord that hate thee And am not I greeued with them that rise vp against thee Yea I hate them right sore euen as though they were myne own enemies Try me O God and seeke the ground of my hart Proue mee and examyne my thoughtes Looke well if there be any way of wickednes in me and leade me in the way euerlasting That Psalme dearely beloued in our sauiour Christ in the latter end wherof these foure verses are written being in number .139 is one of those Psalmes which are by order appointed to be read this mornyng at the Mornyng prayer I haue thought good therfore to take a parcell thereof to entreate of as offered by order The Prophet Dauid doth in this Psalme shew him selfe to be myndfull of the maruelous and mercyful prouidence of God towardes al his creatures but especially towardes Man in whose creation preseruation and gouernment hee doth shew both his infinite wysedome and almighty power He sheweth hym selfe also to bee myndeful of the infinite and incomprehensible nature of God whych cānot be comprehended in heauen or earth or in any deepe places but fylleth all places and is fylled or comprehended of none He fylleth all and contayneth all and is not filled or contayned of any If I go vp into heauen sayth he thou art there if I go downe into hel thou art there to Yea if I shall take the winges of the morning that is if I shal make as much speede as mā can make to flee from thee and so flee into the vttermost parts of the sea euen there also thy hand shall leade me and thy right hand shall hold me Whether shall I go from thy spirit and whither shall I flee from thy presence He sheweth also how he estemeth of the deare friendes of God and on the contrary how he doth hate abhorre Gods enemies such as do hate and rise vp against God. Thus you haue hearde a briefe summe of this whole Psalme that is of the chiefe pointes cōtayned in this Psalme being in number .139 I do not entende at this time to entreate of all these thinges or of any one of them but to apply these foure verses which I haue nowe read being the last of this Psalme vnto this present Auditory and to the present occasiō of this assemble For I thinke it the duty of as many as shall occupye such places as this to apply all their speeches to their Auditories and to the occasions of their assembling Considering therefore that thys Auditory is assembled to chuse one to rule the rest I haue
