A10151	The right of Kings conteyning a defence of their supremacy, over all persons and in all causes, as well ecclesiasticall as civill, within their severall dominions : herewithall is proved by testimony of Holy Scripture, that Christian Kinges are to haue such dignity, and execute such office in the Christian church, as Gods kinges had exercised in the church under the lawe : which part of the mysterie of Gods will, as it hath been wickedly under poperie shut up from men, so it is in our tymes right needfull that the same be opened to all Christian nations.	Procter, Thomas.	1621 (1621)	STC 20410; ESTC S1281	21,909	36

apostle_n call_v the_o king_n and_o prince_n among_o the_o gentile_n the_o high_a power_n and_o declare_v they_o for_o god_n minister_n for_o the_o wealth_n of_o they_o that_o do_v well_o and_o punishment_n of_o evil_a doer_n the_o likeness_n therefore_o in_o these_o particular_n argue_v god_n approve_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v like_o his_o former_a king_n in_o their_o ministration_n as_o therefore_o the_o church_n under_o the_o law_n take_v example_n for_o her_o king_n from_o the_o king_n of_o the_o gentile_a nation_n so_o god_n approve_v of_o the_o king_n among_o the_o gentile_n they_o be_v to_o take_v example_n for_o their_o ministration_n from_o that_o which_o with_o god_n approbation_n king_n do_v in_o the_o church_n under_o the_o law_n this_o i_o press_v the_o more_o because_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n admit_v easy_o of_o king_n as_o of_o hang_v man_n to_o punish_v the_o clergy_n of_o the_o church_n for_o evil_a do_v when_o he_o shall_v give_v up_o such_o clergy_n to_o be_v execute_v or_o punish_v by_o the_o sword_n but_o at_o no_o hand_n will_v admit_v that_o they_o shall_v exercise_v such_o ministration_n as_o god_n king_n with_o god_n approbation_n exercise_v in_o and_o over_o the_o church_n under_o the_o law_n this_o be_v one_o of_o his_o delusion_n this_o one_o of_o his_o presumption_n against_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n and_o by_o this_o he_o work_v to_o the_o christian_a world_n not_o a_o little_a mischief_n but_o now_o unless_o the_o christian_a nation_n will_v make_v the_o pope_n of_o rome_n their_o apostle_n they_o ought_v to_o believe_v concern_v this_o matter_n according_a to_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n by_o the_o apostle_n paul_n neither_o shall_v they_o be_v guiltless_a before_o god_n if_o they_o believe_v the_o pope_n word_n the_o same_o be_v diverse_a from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n true_a apostle_n to_o conclude_v see_v god_n approve_v of_o king_n as_o king_n for_o his_o minister_n they_o be_v bind_v as_o they_o will_v answer_v it_o to_o god_n to_o exercise_v such_o kingly_a ministration_n as_o with_o god_n allowance_n his_o king_n before_o time_n exercise_v for_o see_v christian_a religion_n allow_v not_o of_o all_o thing_n do_v by_o king_n among_o the_o gentile_a nation_n whilst_o they_o be_v infidel_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o king_n of_o the_o gentile_n be_v not_o to_o do_v all_o that_o which_o they_o as_o infidel_n do_v but_o such_o thing_n as_o with_o god_n allowance_n his_o king_n before_o time_n do_v so_o fair_a forth_o as_o christian_a religion_n permit_v this_o i_o add_v here_o because_o of_o the_o abolish_n of_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n which_o under_o the_o law_n be_v offer_v by_o king_n as_o also_o because_o that_o under_o gentilism_n king_n be_v both_o king_n and_o priest_n whereas_o god_n ordinance_n under_o the_o christianity_n as_o under_o the_o law_n permit_v not_o this_o but_o now_o have_v prove_v that_o god_n accept_v of_o the_o king_n of_o the_o gentile_n as_o king_n for_o his_o minister_n &_o have_v show_v you_o they_o be_v to_o take_v example_n for_o the_o same_o from_o god_n king_n in_o the_o church_n under_o the_o law_n i_o think_v fit_a in_o the_o next_o place_n to_o put_v you_o in_o mind_n of_o two_o special_a thing_n 1._o that_o under_o the_o law_n the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v give_v to_o the_o king_n 2._o that_o it_o be_v give_v to_o he_o as_o to_o a_o judge_n that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v give_v to_o the_o king_n may_v appear_v by_o the_o testimony_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n who_o joh._n 10.35_o say_v if_o he_o call_v they_o god_n unto_o who_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v give_v etc._n etc._n for_o though_o priest_n be_v comprise_v under_o the_o name_n of_o these_o god_n yet_o king_n be_v not_o exclude_v see_v none_o can_v deny_v king_n to_o be_v prince_n and_o here_o i_o will_v have_v you_o to_o note_n that_o this_o manner_n speak_v of_o our_o lord_n argue_v a_o kind_n of_o trust_n as_o if_o god_n entrust_v the_o keep_n of_o his_o word_n unto_o king_n and_o priest_n for_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o word_n be_v give_v to_o they_o it_o imply_v that_o god_n trust_v they_o with_o his_o word_n but_o to_o this_o scripture_n we_o may_v add_v another_o deut._n 17.18_o where_o the_o charge_n of_o god_n to_o the_o king_n be_v give_v in_o these_o word_n say_v and_o when_o he_o shall_v sit_v upon_o the_o throne_n of_o his_o kingdom_n then_o shall_v he_o write_v he_o this_o law_n repeat_v in_o a_o book_n by_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o levite_n and_o it_o shall_v be_v with_o he_o and_o he_o shall_v read_v therein_o all_o the_o day_n of_o his_o life_n that_o he_o may_v learn_v to_o fear_v the_o lord_n his_o god_n and_o to_o keep_v all_o the_o word_n of_o this_o law_n and_o these_o ordinance_n for_o to_o do_v they_o that_o his_o heart_n be_v not_o lift_v up_o above_o his_o brethren_n and_o that_o he_o turn_v not_o from_o the_o commandment_n to_o the_o right_a hand_n or_o to_o the_o left_a here_o observe_v first_o that_o not_o what_o the_o priest_n will_v deliver_v for_o law_n but_o the_o law_n its_o self_n this_o law_n he_o have_v right_a yea_o and_o charge_v also_o from_o god_n to_o take_v second_o that_o this_o law_n be_v give_v to_o he_o as_o to_o a_o king_n therefore_o as_o to_o to_o a_o minister_n and_o not_o as_o to_o a_o private_a person_n therefore_o also_o it_o be_v not_o give_v he_o for_o his_o private_a direction_n only_o what_o to_o believe_v and_o do_v for_o his_o own_o salvation_n but_o it_o be_v give_v he_o for_o a_o direction_n of_o his_o ministration_n for_o what_o be_v give_v to_o a_o officer_n as_o a_o officer_n be_v give_v for_o a_o direction_n what_o to_o do_v in_o his_o office_n therefore_o king_n have_v a_o charge_n of_o god_n word_n aswell_o as_o priest_n and_o they_o be_v to_o be_v direct_v by_o it_o in_o their_o ministration_n so_o that_o they_o may_v not_o content_v themselves_o to_o say_v i_o do_v this_o and_o this_o in_o my_o office_n by_o the_o teach_n of_o the_o priest_n but_o they_o must_v read_v and_o meditate_v in_o the_o word_n its_o self_n of_o god_n by_o it_o to_o be_v instruct_v what_o to_o do_v there_o be_v difference_n to_o be_v put_v between_o the_o minister_n reveal_v primary_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n already_o reveil_v of_o the_o first_o the_o great_a king_n be_v subject_v to_o receive_v the_o word_n as_o they_o deliver_v it_o but_o the_o word_n once_o so_o deliver_v the_o king_n be_v to_o take_v it_o and_o to_o read_v and_o meditate_v in_o it_o and_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o take_v only_o the_o interpretation_n or_o word_n of_o he_o who_o be_v but_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n already_o reveil_v therefore_o also_o the_o king_n be_v interpose_v between_o god_n and_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n already_o reveil_v as_o have_v right_a to_o take_v the_o word_n its_o self_n reveil_v and_o not_o whatsoever_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n already_o reveil_v will_v deliver_v as_o for_o that_o word_n will_v god_n that_o christian_a prince_n do_v due_o consider_v this_o gracious_a goodness_n and_o marvelous_a favour_n of_o god_n towards_o they_o for_o if_o they_o due_o consider_v this_o it_o will_v much_o provoke_v they_o to_o read_v themselves_o the_o reveal_v word_n of_o god_n and_o not_o to_o leave_v this_o to_o the_o read_n of_o priest_n only_o how_o will_v they_o answer_v it_o to_o god_n if_o be_v king_n as_o by_o god_n ordination_n they_o neglect_v this_o charge_n give_v by_o god_n to_o his_o king_n ah_o the_o evil_n which_o the_o false_a word_n of_o a_o evil_a priest_n have_v bring_v upon_o they_o through_o their_o neglect_a themselves_o to_o read_v the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o scripture_n but_o now_o as_o i_o have_v before_o prove_v that_o god_n accept_v of_o the_o king_n of_o the_o gentile_n as_o king_n for_o his_o minister_n serve_v both_o as_o for_o god_n gracious_a election_n make_v of_o they_o and_o also_o as_o for_o a_o warrant_n that_o they_o shall_v serve_v god_n in_o the_o king_n ministration_n approve_v of_o by_o god_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o king_n under_o the_o law_n so_o it_o may_v now_o appear_v unto_o they_o that_o the_o charge_n of_o god_n give_v to_o his_o king_n in_o the_o church_n under_o the_o law_n serve_v also_o for_o a_o charge_n unto_o they_o and_o see_v this_o charge_n be_v give_v to_o the_o king_n as_o king_n it_o prove_v that_o his_o charge_n be_v that_o he_o see_v all_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n observe_v by_o all_o for_o this_o use_n of_o this_o charge_n make_v the_o good_a king_n in_o the_o church_n under_o the_o law_n as_o

do_v the_o proper_a duty_n of_o their_o episcopal_a or_o priestly_a ministration_n or_o which_o occasion_n their_o over_z seldom_o or_o negligent_a do_v the_o same_o that_o be_v ill_o do_v by_o prince_n and_o god_n will_v visit_v they_o both_o for_o draw_v his_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n from_o perform_v their_o proper_a duty_n of_o such_o ministration_n and_o also_o for_o suffer_v unpunished_a any_o such_o omission_n or_o neglect_v of_o these_o duty_n these_o thing_n i_o think_v good_a here_o to_o touch_v at_o because_o it_o may_v occasion_v our_o prince_n to_o hold_v god_n priest_n to_o the_o duty_n proper_a to_o their_o ministration_n and_o to_o punish_v in_o they_o any_o omission_n or_o over_o negligent_a performance_n of_o the_o same_o but_o now_o to_o conclude_v this_o point_n prince_n be_v not_o bare_o as_o executioner_n to_o reward_v the_o good_a and_o punish_v evil_a doer_n but_o they_o be_v costitute_v also_o judge_n by_o the_o lord_n that_o they_o also_o may_v judge_v in_o all_o thing_n to_o which_o the_o word_n already_o reveal_v from_o god_n stretch_v and_o very_o even_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n already_o reveal_v be_v preach_v the_o same_o to_o they_o to_o preach_v as_o to_o god_n judge_n of_o doctrine_n preach_v not_o that_o they_o be_v all_o alike_o capable_a of_o judgement_n in_o such_o thing_n but_o that_o this_o be_v the_o right_n of_o their_o office_n which_o also_o for_o conscience_n towards_o god_n must_v be_v have_v in_o reverence_n thus_o have_v i_o prove_v that_o king_n under_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o exercise_v such_o dignity_n and_o ministration_n as_o with_o god_n bless_a approbation_n we_o find_v in_o scripture_n that_o god_n king_n exercise_v under_o the_o law_n as_o therefore_o under_o the_o law_n the_o king_n be_v over_o the_o church_n in_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o jew_n as_o moses_n say_v if_o thou_o say_v i_o will_v set_v a_o king_n over_o i_o etc._n etc._n which_o manner_n supremacy_n the_o king_n under_o the_o law_n do_v in_o fact_n exercise_n and_o hold_v and_o as_o under_o the_o law_n the_o king_n do_v not_o only_o reward_v the_o good_a and_o punish_v the_o evil_a but_o do_v also_o judge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a by_o the_o direction_n of_o the_o word_n give_v he_o restore_v pure_a doctrine_n and_o set_v the_o priest_n and_o levit_n to_o their_o due_a office_n and_o order_v the_o divine_a service_n so_o be_v the_o king_n under_o the_o gospel_n likewise_o to_o do_v be_v over_o the_o church_n in_o their_o several_a dominion_n and_o judge_v of_o what_o be_v good_a and_o evil_a by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o scripture_n and_o restore_a religion_n set_v the_o clergy_n to_o their_o due_a office_n and_o order_v the_o divine_a service_n in_o the_o church_n wherein_o though_o they_o be_v not_o to_o neglect_v not_o the_o advice_n only_o but_o authority_n also_o of_o the_o bishop_n and_o priest_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o to_o take_v for_o their_o direction_n whatsoever_o they_o shall_v advise_v and_o press_v but_o they_o ought_v themselves_o to_o read_v and_o meditate_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o to_o judge_v by_o it_o of_o that_o advise_v and_o urge_v by_o the_o bishop_n these_o thing_n concern_v the_o supremacy_n and_o government_n of_o king_n i_o have_v here_o press_v upon_o the_o observation_n of_o prince_n partly_o to_o stir_v they_o up_o to_o mind_v their_o own_o authority_n in_o the_o church_n partly_o to_o instruct_v all_o christian_a subject_n what_o to_o believe_v concern_v their_o duty_n towards_o prince_n but_o now_o have_v this_o do_v i_o think_v it_o fit_a to_o answer_v in_o the_o next_o place_n one_o or_o two_o objection_n which_o either_o be_v or_o may_v peradventure_o be_v make_v against_o this_o which_o former_o i_o have_v write_v the_o first_o objection_n against_o the_o supremacy_n of_o king_n and_o their_o judge_n in_o all_o cause_n and_o govern_v over_o all_o person_n within_o their_o several_a dominion_n it_o common_o heretofore_o have_v be_v and_o to_o this_o day_n be_v allege_v that_o our_o lord_n commit_v unto_o peter_n to_o be_v continue_v in_o his_o successor_n the_o supreme_a vicariate_a power_n of_o govern_v the_o church_n for_o ever_o this_o opinion_n they_o fortify_v partly_o by_o scripture_n partly_o by_o tradition_n partly_o by_o the_o say_n of_o doctor_n of_o great_a authority_n in_o the_o church_n the_o scripture_n which_o they_o common_o make_v use_v of_o be_v first_o math._n 16.18_o where_o the_o lord_n say_v thus_o unto_o peter_n i_o say_v unto_o thou_o that_o thou_o be_v peter_n and_o upon_o this_o rock_n will_v i_o build_v my_o church_n and_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o overcome_v it_o second_o john_n 21.15_o where_o again_o the_o lord_n say_v thus_o unto_o the_o same_o apostle_n simon_n the_o son_n of_o jona_n love_v thou_o i_o he_o say_v unto_o he_o yea_o lord_n thou_o know_v that_o i_o love_v thou_o he_o say_v unto_o he_o feed_v my_o lamb_n he_o say_v unto_o he_o again_o the_o second_o time_n simon_n the_o son_n of_o jona_n love_v thou_o i_o he_o say_v unto_o he_o yea_o lord_n thou_o know_v that_o i_o love_v thou_o he_o say_v unto_o he_o feed_v my_o sheep_n he_o say_v unto_o he_o the_o three_o time_n simon_n the_o son_n of_o jona_n love_v thou_o i_o peter_n be_v sorry_a because_o he_o say_v unto_o he_o the_o three_o time_n love_v thou_o i_o and_o he_o say_v unto_o he_o lord_n thou_o know_v all_o thing_n thou_o know_v that_o i_o love_v thou_o jesus_n say_v unto_o he_o feed_v my_o sheep_n from_o both_o these_o scripture_n they_o collect_v that_o the_o apostle_n peter_n shall_v feed_v all_o the_o lord_n sheep_n for_o ever_o both_o with_o doctrine_n and_o government_n therefore_o all_o the_o lord_n sheep_n must_v receive_v from_o this_o apostle_n their_o doctrine_n and_o power_n or_o office_n that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v build_v upon_o the_o rock_n of_o this_o apostle_n approbation_n or_o allowance_n and_o because_o the_o apostle_n be_v to_o do_v this_o for_o ever_o therefore_o after_o his_o death_n this_o must_v be_v do_v by_o his_o successor_n the_o pope_n of_o rome_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o they_o seek_v the_o pope_n approbation_n of_o all_o doctrine_n and_o receive_v their_o episcopal_a authority_n from_o he_o yea_o king_n also_o receive_v kingdom_n of_o he_o but_o now_o i_o will_v in_o the_o next_o place_n discover_v the_o fallacy_n of_o this_o collection_n show_v that_o these_o scripture_n be_v not_o so_o to_o be_v understand_v neither_o do_v intend_v any_o such_o matter_n and_o i_o think_v fit_a to_o write_v first_o of_o the_o latter_a scripture_n because_o the_o false_a use_n make_v thereof_o be_v discover_v it_o will_v the_o more_o easy_o appear_v that_o they_o make_v a_o false_a use_n of_o the_o first_o scripture_n also_o if_o from_o the_o lord_n word_n in_o say_v to_o peter_n feed_v my_o lamb_n feed_v my_o sheep_n it_o be_v collect_v that_o peter_n must_v feed_v all_o christ_n sheep_n and_o this_o also_o both_o with_o doctrine_n and_o government_n than_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n as_o well_o as_o any_o other_o must_v be_v thus_o feed_v by_o peter_n see_v they_o also_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o lord_n sheep_n but_o see_v feed_v be_v take_v in_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n for_o the_o receive_n of_o doctrine_n from_o he_o or_o ground_v upon_o the_o authority_n of_o his_o approbation_n and_o see_v feed_v in_o matter_n of_o government_n be_v take_v for_o a_o bear_a rule_n over_o all_o christ_n sheep_n and_o that_o all_o power_n or_o office_n ecclesiastical_a and_o civil_a be_v to_o be_v derive_v from_o he_o or_o ground_v upon_o the_o authority_n of_o his_o approbation_n therefore_o i_o be_o to_o prove_v by_o testimony_n of_o holy_a scripture_n that_o we_o be_v not_o thus_o to_o understand_v the_o lord_n in_o this_o speech_n of_o he_o for_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n receive_v not_o their_o doctrine_n from_o peter_n but_o from_o the_o lord_n christ_n even_o as_o peter_n himself_o do_v neither_o be_v they_o to_o ground_n or_o build_v that_o upon_o the_o authority_n of_o peter_n approbation_n which_o they_o receive_v immediate_o from_o the_o lord_n therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o feed_v by_o peter_n in_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n moreover_o the_o apostle_n paul_n galat._n 1.11_o testify_v say_v i_o certify_v you_o brethren_n that_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v preach_v of_o i_o be_v not_o after_o man_n for_o neither_o receive_v i_o it_o of_o man_n neither_o be_v i_o teach_v it_o but_o by_o the_o revelation_n of_o jesus_n christ._n by_o this_o testimony_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o apostle_n peter_n feed_v not_o the_o apostle_n paul_n with_o doctrine_n but_o rather_o
