denyall of her self when he said The gates of hell shall not prevaile against her Therfore in the beginning Kings and Emperours people and cities troups of Divels yea and the very Tyranny of Satan invaded the Church yet all these things were undone and dissolved and perished but the Church increased in so much that she reached unto the heavens and all this was by suffering for as the Arke of Noah the more the floods increased the nearer it was to Heaven so the more the Church is tossed with the waves of affliction the nearer it goeth to Heaven Covenanter 7. From Examples in Scripture 1. Sam. 14 45. 2. Chr 7. Argument 26.17.2 Kings 11.1 Sam. 23. Where Davia bath six hundereth men for his defence against the King himself and would have kept Keilah against him neither himself nor the Priest doubting of the lawfullnes therof only suspecting the treachery of the Keilites Examples of the reformed Kirks in Germany the Low-countries Sweden and the Examples of our own Reformers Anticovenanter It 's a token that you put small confidence in Scripture because you have not begun with it but left it in the end For certainly there is nothing here to prove your tenet All your testimonies are out of the Old Testament but not one out of the New Testament What if I would grant it lawful under the Law and that your testimonies are good for your purpose but can ye shew it lawfull under the Gospell where suffering is only commanded Mat. 10.23 When they persecute you in one city fly to another not go take the cities and castles of your periecuting Superiours and defend your selves But as there is no help for you from the New Testament so you shall have none from the Old Testament as shall be cleare in answering your testimonies In your first testimony the people hindered Saul to kill Ionathan but how did they it Not by armes but by entreary with sound reasons Shall Ionathan die say they who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel God forbid But you will say they opposed themselves in contradictory termes saying as the Lord liveth there shall not one haire of his head fall to the ground c. Ans In the originall it is not so but by way of interrogation as the most famous Interpreters Tremellius and Iunius do translate it Vt vivit Iehova an cadere debet ullus è capillis capitis ejus as the LORD liveth should there fall any haire of his head to the ground The people adjure Saul and appeale his Conscience before the living God say these learned Interpreters ut posthabitâ juramenti ratione juris habeat rationem as if they had said is it reason that he should receive the least hurt from the people who following the Lord hath wrought so great Salvation to the people Then they defended Ionathan not by armes but by sound reason which kind of defence is most willingly granted by his Majesty to all that now cry for armes Your next testimony is no more worth The people of Israel were put to no small strait when there was no Smith in Israel but were forced to go down to the Philistines to sharpen their shares their axes and mattocks This is also your case you must here go to the enemies and from the Papists borrow weapons to defend your cause in the examples of Vzziah and Athaliah Wherby they maintain the Supremacy of Pope over Kings and you now use them to maintain the Power of the people over Kings But let us consider them The first is of Vzziah the King who contrary to Gods Commandement went into the Temple of the Lord to burn incense upon the Altar And Azariah the Priest went in after him and withstood him c. Answ 1. By this example you must either maintaine that the Subjects are above the Prinee giving them the Popes usurped authority or if not you must help to answer this your selves so loose the knot which your selves have knit The Papists say 2 Chron. 26. That the High-Preist thrust the King out of the Temple when he usurped the Priests office ergo the Pope is above Kings the reason of the inference is because no Inferiour hath power to lay hands on a Superiour and by coactive power to compell them to doe their duty or repell them Now you say the same The High-Priest thrust the King out of the Temple therefore it 's lawfull for the people to resist Kings Bellar. de Pont. Rom. lib. 15. cap. 6. What reason can you give of this inference except you acknowledge the peoples superiority above the Prince and certainely in your comparing the King and his Subjects you seem to hold it so 2. The Priest thrust out the King not by taking armes but with rebuke and admonition as the Text is cleare It pertaineth not to thee Vzziah to burne incense and bad him depart out of the Sanctuary This became the Priest to doe But what did the King He was indignabundus he was wroth disdained their rebuke and took the Censer in his hand to burn incense What followed upon this The Priests admonitions being contemned then the Lord tooke order with him to whom it onely belonged While the King was wroth with the Priest sayes the Text the leprosy rose up in his forehead before the Priests then no man needed to bid him depart for the Text sayes He himselfe hasted to goe out because the Lord had smitten him It was not then violence from the priests but the punishment from God that thrust him out But you will say the Text sayes also that the Priest thrust him out so it doth but it was by admonition and rebuke for the Text sayes The Priests looked on him and behold he was leprous and they thrust him out from thence yea he himselfe hasted to goe out He knew not that he was so till the priests seeing it told him and without-doubt rebuked him sharply telling him of the judgement of God upon him Thus doth Iosephus testifie Lib. 1. de Antiquit. Iud cap. 11. Whom Cajetan followeth Visâ leprâ sacerdotes regem ad festinè egred endum monent The leprosie being seen the Priests admonish him to make haste to go out So doth Chrysostam and giveth the reason of it saying The office of a Priest is only to reprove and freely to admonish not to move armes nor to use bucklers nor to shake a launce neither to bend a bow and shoot forth darts All then that can be drawne from this example is 1. That when Kings break the Commandements of God by any scandalous fact it 's the Preachers duty to rebuke him 2. That when Princes will not regard the admonitions of Gods Servants they must be left to God who sometimes will visibly punish them I retort then your Argument Azariah did not by armes defend Gods right as you call it ergò you ought not to take up armes though you had an Vzziah to deale
