most obedient to Magistrats answered them that forbad them to preach the Gospell Act. 4.5 Whether it be right in the sight of God to obey you rather then God iudge ye and againe we ought rather to obey God then men We haue shewed afore that th'Israelits were punished for sequestring themselues out of the dominion of Nabuchodonosor for hauing disobeyed him neuertheles it is recorded how Ananias Asarias Misael th'Israelits were blessed of God protected frō raging violence of the deuouring fire glorified for not obeying Nabuchodonosor These disagreemēts cannot be recōciled but by the foresaid distinctiō that kings must be obeyed in that which concerneth their power alone without doing iniurie to God who requireth our obediēce principally aboue all according as the aunsweres of S. Peter and S. Iohn aboue cited do import no other doctrine thē this our Sauiour Christ taught in these wordes Mar. 12. Geue vnto Caesar that which is Caesars and to God that which is Gods When the people of Israel reuolted Nabuchodonosor had not vsurped ouer Gods cōmaundements nor bound th'Israelites but to an ordinarie allegeance of subiects towards their kings for seruice of body and goodes and therefore their disobedience was an inexcusable sin but he abused and exceeded the limites of his right and power by cause he would haue made the three children worship his Idoll and so presumed ouer Gods commaundement thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and him onely shalt thou serue and therefore the disobedience of Ananias Asarias and Misael was iust and with such disobediences the sacred history is well stored Likewise the Reformed do pretend that what you commaund them is contrary to the word and commaundements of God and also they protest that their conscience saued they are ready to yeld all obedience and seruice to their superiours and namely to his Maiestie we shall examine that matter anone Meane while let vs determine vpon so many reasons and examples vpon th'actions and commaundements of our Lord of his Apostles and all his Church Let vs affirme that the true Church presumeth not to take away nor geue the Crownes and Scepters of this world but submitteth hir self to th' order established in that behalf from all time by the will of God Let vs beleeue that kings are ordained by God that he will not haue any and namely his Church to refuse them or their successours for any impietie in them that he will haue such executions reserued to himself which he can well bring to passe by other meanes and pretences then by his Church Let vs confesse his will to be that we loue and honour them and also pray for them that he threateneth and plagueth such as trouble and disobey them Ye that are Christians then and boast to be his children whose dutie therfore is to heare and know his voyce and to serue him with more obedience then all other people yee that ought to belecue that whatsoeuer yee do or suffer in obeying him the same can not turne to your harme or preiudice considering his bountifull affection his promises and almightines do not presume to disobey your God in a matter so expresly inioyned you if ye haue presumed repent your selues cease your pursuit preferre not your false opinions and vayne feares afore his commaundements afore the truth and assurance of his promises receiue the Kings and Princes that he sends you since he created them to be of his degree the likewise sent them receiue them for his loue and feare for conscience sake and so will he auow you for his children and betake you to the guiding of his good spirit so shall he blesse and geue you the peace spoken of by Ieremie and lastly so shall ye not incurre his displeasure Ierem. 29. nor feele the weight of his prouoked hand The same reason or one more strong then yours did Sedekias alleage he said he would not subiect himselfe to an idolatrous king ye say ye will not receiue a king of a Religiō contrary to yours Good it is to auoyd tentations so much as may be but they must be auoided by meanes alowed of God God sounde no such zele affection and deedes in Sedekias to be good he accursed it he greeuously did punish it he will nothing more alow yours being farre lesse tolerable as by this discourse hereafter shal be verified nay I greatly feare least the plague be at the dore On th' other side consider that ye open a gate to the continuance of warres which ye shall not shut dain vp when ye would ye reare a ladder for clymbing heads all such as will attempt the catching of your Crowne which ye shall not pluck downe whē ye would they that shall enuie at the Crowne will think themselues well enough armed with excuse and pretence not to blush in your presence nor before strangers as also preserue their honor saue their memorie frō decay before the posterity if onely they shall say that the king or the naturall lawfull successour to the Crowne is an heretike Your predecessours made the Crowne inheritable by succession purposely to preuent dissensions that grow by elections and in th' end bring Estates to confusion they are deceiued of their hope we of the profit of their foresights by your tractablenes and indiscretion for this colored pretence which you accept now a dayes will draw after it all those troubles and inconueniences which elections are wont to bring But for conclusion what need had ye to begin this warre so soone suppose it were lawfull yet were the time rath enough to commence reuiue and debate this question after our kings decease The course is not ordinarie to dispute of successions before they fall It may appeare that ye repine at the repose of your king feare least he should be free from the greeues which we see feele at this day Peraduēture ye rayse warre for that matter which neuer shall come to passe Our King and Queene are strong and lustie enough to haue heires of their body begotten they are not past th'age of procreation th' arme of the Lord and his mercy are not shortned restreined to geue a sonne to him and a peaceable king to vs it may fall out that yee or your Princes will change your purposes CHAP. V. Whether the Reformed be heretikes and schismatikes or no. HItherto my children I haue bene vnwilling to sound your cuill to the bottome as being loth to greeue you too much or alter your patiēce I haue winked at your maladie to acquaint you with my medicines I durst not assaile it with violēt remedies doubting its force least being prouoked it would haue reiected al physike I haue framed my self to your vowed opiniōs to your light phrensie lest it should turn into raging madnes I haue borne with your error to winne at your hands some little patiēce I haue not stood on those qualities which ye say are the very
