the light 'T is he of whom the Scripture saith He lives by Bread but more by Faith One will converse on Earth in love While 's Conversation is above His Treasure 's there where is his heart We have him hear but in part 1 His life is hid with Christ in God His life is hid with Christ in God Who when chastis'd will kiss the Rod The Christian life I thus descry To be a hidden mistery He is but weak yet has the might To do all things in others sight For Christ upholds him by his hand And gives the Christian Strength to stand But what he doth through Christ his strength Shall to Gods glory tend at length For he would not enjoy the same Unless to glorifie Gods name He knows that God alone did give Unto him life thereby to live And if to live to live aright He of a truth find's Gods delight The Christian man to none does wrong Yet meets somtimes an envious tongue The noise of which does him annoy Least God should justly it destroy 1 No weapon form'd against him shall prosper He knows no weapon prosper shall ' Gainst him that 's form'd nor cause his thrall His life with Christ in God is hid To malice can defyance bid Yet would with mercy be involv'd Therefore desires to be dissolv'd That he a Mansion might obtain For aye in Heaven to remain Where now I am resolv'd to leave Him whom the world could not deceive An Heir of glory he was born And therefore held the world in scorn Though he at first was born in sin And for a time lay dead therein His Second or new birth to grace Gave him true glory to embrace No doubt he now this happiness In Heaven's Kingdom does possess Which may all Christian men partake With him for Christ our Saviours sake SUBJECT XII Supremacy and subordination considered both as to the legality of Soveraignty and the loyalty of Subjection from the impartiality of our Saviours expression to the Jews concerning the Tribute Money in Mat. 22.21 Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesars and unto God the things that are Gods Kings in their Kingdoms God do represent They 're Potentates next God Omnipatent WHo to the Crown of glory will be true Must give God's Crown Caesars Crown their due Our Saviour Christ inform'd us there are things Pertain to God and appertain to Kings As fear and honour both which do relate To God himself and to the Kings Estate Kings Gods Vice-gerents are he them inthron'd Because as his their power should be own'd 'T was God alone these powers did ordain Whose cause as lawful Subjects should maintain Since God ordain'd the King thus to controul Be Subject then to him let every soul Who dare dispute this Power do but plod How to resist the ordinance of God Who thus resolve the Scriptures say shall gain Damnation a just Pension for their pain The thoughts hereof methinks should much suppress Sedition and Rebellions wickedness All Subjects of their errors should convince To fear their God and reverence their Prince Factious Rebellion of a truth has bin Found in effect to be a witchcraft sin A sin in Royal crimson deeply dy'd An evil of that nature 't is deny'd None save the same makes man a Regicide Curst his intent that wickedly will Arm Himself to do the Lords Anointed harm Kings are ordain'd these factious men to aw By Regal justice and the Kingdoms Law I say their Regal power in a word Is not in vain to bear the Kingdoms Sword Which to the evil vengeance should afford As for the Sword 't is clearly understood To terrifie the bad and not the good Since thus design'd then is it not a shame To see the Subjects quarrel at the same As heretofore did Englands regal Foes Who King from Kingdom Crown and Head depose 1 Monarchy metamorphosed to Democracy That unexpected Englands Monarchy Was Metamorphos'd to Democracy And Govern'd by usurping Tiranny Which Government we found not long remain Till God restor'd our Kingdom 's King again He who exil'd was from his regal Throne Return'd to the enjoyment of his own Thus God himself did all his foes withstand Brought home in Peace the regend of our Land The Kingdom subject made to his command No doubt but Gods deliverance in this thing Should caution men for to obey the King 1 Obedience deniable to the usurpers of Authority And unto those obedience to deny That are Usurpers of Authority God thrones the King when Rebels take him down Confusion wracks the Kingdom with the Crown Peace is disturb scarce one shall stand in aw But Plead their will and conscience is their Law Too true our late experience this hath found When Treachery and Treason did abound Till furious rage and cruel worth accurst Did without mercy murther Charles the First God grant our Charles the Second long to Reign In peace the true Religion to maintain Make those his friends that were before his foes Whose wilfulness his Power did oppose And if Gods pleasure may he rectifie Our Nonconformists with conformity That Union and Communion may be found Unto the glory of our God redound Till all with glory shall of God be Crown'd Preserve this Kingdom bless the Church and State Increase our Love and nullifie our hate Vouchsafe that all who shall succeed the place Of Charles the Second may his Faith embrace The Faith great Charles maintains may more defend Until the world and Generations End SUBJECT XIII Tribute and Custom are commanded by God to be rendred the Ministers of Christ because their due as well as their Lawfull Magistrates observed from Rom. 13. vers 6.7 For this case pay your Tribute also for they are Gods Ministers attending continually upon this very thing Render therefore to all their dues Tribute to whom Tribute is due Custom to whom Custom Fear to whom Fear Honour to whom Honour God doth allow a Tribute to this end Those to maintain his Altar that attend GOd this commands therefore must be his will What he commands all should seek to fulfill Who his commands neglect no doubt do ill The reason why it is because that he Made these commands and them observ'd to be In brief you see the question thus reply'd Where Tribute's due it must not be deny'd And God thereby is also glorifi'd 1 Ministers ought to be paid their Tribute To Ministers God would have all be true In paying Custom where the Custom 's due Fear to whom fear and honour to the same Where honour's due this gain 's an honest name And shelters man from spite contempt shame And from all scandalls will a man release Make him belov'd and then shall live in peace Of Tenths and Tithes the Preacher must partake Gods laws allow it and for conscience-sake Then those that scruple payment needs must err Felloniously they rob the Minister Not him consider as Gods Messenger Dishonour God that
