the World and of Eternal Damnation in the World to come And verily Resisting Governours is not less unbecoming the Reason of a man than the Patience and Humility of a Christian For the Officer is armed with Authority but the contumacious Opposer hath nothing to defend or plead for him but Arbitrary Power wilful Perverseness and stubborn Humour which in cold blood or sober consideration must be acknowledged far more dangerous than the evil the Resistant pretended to remedy And here if ye demand the manner of this Subjection I answer True Christian Subjects bear to the King such a Submission as Children to their Parents Not a terrifying and amazing but a respectful and reverential Subjection The King is the Father of his Countrey and all his Loving and Loyal Subjects are as so many Children to him This Subjection also doth imply 1. A real and eminent Love of the King Gods own People Israel said of King David Thou art worth ten thousand of us 2 Sam. 18.3 Hence the King is called The breath of our nostrils Lam. 4.20 2. This Subjection doth imply Fidelity and adhering to the King at all times and in all conditions The King and his Subjects are united in their Political capacity as the Head and the Body Their welfare is conjoyned and cannot be separated And this Fidelity is most excellent when it comes from a touch of Gods finger from the Grace of his holy Spirit As we read there went with Saul a band of men whose hearts God had touched 1 Sam. 10.26 But such as clave not to him are stigmatized for Children of Belial who despised their King v. 27. For Fidelity also we have the example of Davids Servants Behold thy Servants are ready to do whatsoever my Lord the King shall appoint 2 Sam. 15. v. 15. And Ittai that Loyal heart that noble and constant spirit said to the King when David went to perswade him to go back and to take care of his own safety As the Lord liveth and as my Lord the King liveth surely in what place my Lord the King shall be whether in death or life even there also will thy Servant be v. 21. Here was a faithful Servant and Loyal Subject indeed and herein he evidenced himself no less obedient to the Law of God by which we are bound in Conscience to help the King against his Enemies And thus to adhere to the King by being faithful in the Trust reposed in us in being just in our places and ready to help in all difficulties is a right and sure way to make a Kingdom invincible and terrible to Enemies Divisions Conspiracies and Combinations in a State expose it to forreign Enemies A Kingdom divided against it self cannot stand saith the wise Counsellor the Son of God But Unity of heart and affections between Subjects and their Sovereign renders a Kingdom prosperous at home and formidable abroad 3. Prayer to God for him Our Religion the Law of our God our Christianity as well as our Fidelity Loyalty and Affection call for this at our hands The blessed Apostle St. Paul exhorts Timothy to this duty 1 Tim. 2.1 c. And I think that the Collects of our Church for the King and Queen are both wise and Christian 4. Thanksgiving to God for any mercy to the King I exhort that Thanksgivings be made saith the Apostle The Infinite Majesty of Heaven is the Ocean from which flow all blessings that we mortals receive It is he that giveth great Deliverance to his King and sheweth mercy to his Anointed to David and to his seed for evermore Psal 18.49 50. Therefore should we give thanks unto the Lord and sing praises to his holy Name Especially let us praise God for the wonderful and happy Deliverance of this Church and Nation by our Joshua who hath by the Divine favour and blessing saved us and put a stop to the Malice and Cruelty of all the Churches Enemies This is the Lords doing and it is marvelous in our eyes And as great a mercy as ever this Nation and Church enjoyed Tho' through an unnatural Principle the Prejudices of many wise and pious men have made them ungrateful to your Majesties who are in truth 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Benefactors not only to all English Protestants but to all the Reformed Churches And that these Prejudices may be removed and that all your Subjects may give God and your Majesties thanks hath been my constant desire and labour And tho' I know that the multitude are prone to Innovations and Changes and too apt to be seduced yet in this Revolution they are to be justified so far as they defended their Religion Laws and Liberties And I challenge any learned and conscientious Divine to dispute the Case in Print before God and the World And therefore I humbly beg your Sacred Majesties pardon while I make Animadversions on the Reverend Dr. William Sherlocks Book intituled The Case of Allegiance due to Sovereign Powers stated and resolved according to Scripture and Reason and the Principles of the Church of England I cannot believe that false Principles in Government conduce to your Majesties service And for this reason among others I think it my duty to oppose them I do believe that the Reverend Dr. acts according to the present perswasion of his Conscience as he speaks in the beginning of his Preface and I do not take him either for a dishonest man or a fool But as he saith he may be mistaken and so may any body else tho' never so wise and honest And he saith ingenuously that if any man can shew him that the Principles he acts on are false uncertain or precarious and such as cannot reasonably satisfie an honest and unbiassed mind he will confess that his desire of satisfaction secretly and insensibly distorted his Judgment tho he took all possible care that it should not I do as I would be done by and I believe that many have refused the Oaths upon Principles of Conscience tho' I believe their Consciences erroneous And I hope to make it evident if as the Dr's phrase is they will deliver themselves from the Tyranny of Prepossession and Prejudice § 2. p. 10. Animadversion on Section 1. The Dr. saith That which hath perplexed this Controversie is the intermixing the Dispute of Right with the Duty of Obedience or making the Legal Right of Princes to their Thrones the only Reason and Foundation of the Allegiance of Subjects A. I cannot imagine that any Obedience is due but to him only who hath Right If he hath no Right why should I pay him Obedience The Scripture saith Fear to whom fear honour to whom honour I must know therefore to whom it is due The Scripture supposeth all Subjects to know some other way to whom Obedience Fear and Honour is due For I take it for granted and as that which all Learned men will own that the Scripture is not a Rule of Policy or Political Government any more than
