for Thee Mat. 17. one for Moses one for Elias Moses Tabernacle was dissolued hee must haue none hee had no commission to make a new one Elias was taken vp into heaven he rested on the holy hill more glorious thē to abide in a Tabernacle hee needed none Christ would not enioy so much as a hole to hide his head on earth much lesse a Tabernacle on a hill hee would haue none It had beene glorious to be present at the maiestie of that meeting where in body were represented Elias from heaven Moses from the graue Peter and others from the world nay where Pater in voce filius in carne spiritus sanctus in nube where the blessed Trinitie as at the Baptisme before so now againe at the Transfiguration were all present the Father in the voice the Sonne in the flesh the holy spirit in the cloud as the ancients haue collected Vpon this short shewe of the glorious presence of Christ Peter was in an extasie faciamus Tabernacula yet this felictie had bin but momentary if made Tabernacles had served though S. Peter had made them for Saint Paule telleth vs Non manufactum Tabernaculum it is not a Tabernacle made with handes will serue but the true Tabernacle which the Lord hath pitcht and not man Heb. 8.2 and which David asked of in his 15. Psalme Psal 15.1 Lord who shall dwell in thy Tabernacle who shall rest vpon thy holy hil The Monarches of the earth that shall enter hereinto may cast away their crownes as Elias left his cloake and repent of nothing saue that they came no sooner hither It was as it seemeth an honourables and a Commendable ambition in the Disciples that there was a strife among them who shoulde bee the greatest in the kingdome of heaven Mat. 18.1 Their other ambitious thoughts were not so law full It was I confesse a monstrous sight to see the Saviours servants who should not haue savoured of earthly things disputing who should be the greatest among them as in Marke 9.34 a much more prodigious spectacle to behold a contentiō among them in an ambitious manner at the Lords table in the time of the Passeover Luk. 22.24 nay of the last Passeover that ever Christ did eate with thē which he had desired with such a desire to eate with them it was much to dispute it more to striue for it much to question in the way contention for it at the Table much to doe it when their Lord heard them not as in Marke when no danger neere their Lord more now when their Lord heard them and they saw him in sorrow when it was but the day before his death bitter Passion then his comfort a quarrell of his Disciples this Passover was truely eaten with bitter hearbes Both these contentions were grievous in common men more grievous in the lights and fathers Chariots and horsemen of Israel But the question propounded in S. Mathew 18.1 may seeme tolerable Mat. 18.1 for our Saviour had taught them Primum quaerite Regnum Dei first seeke the kingdome of God and now they desire but to learne Quis primus in regno Dei who should be the first and greatest in the kingdome of God And in the answer to this seeming tolerable and Commendable question Christ not only teacheth but taxeth thē for the swelling ambition of that question and answereth thē that vnles they were converted would become as little children they could not enter into the kingdom of heaven Mat. 18.4 He instanceth in a little child thus Whosoever therfore shal humble himselfe as this little child the same is greatest in the kingdome of heaven teaching thereby that Humility is the gate to heaven that though the childrē of God must lead an inoffēsiue kind of life yet they thinke meanely of themselues and the more holy a man is the more hath he sense of his owne corruption Hee must walke with God yet humble himselfe vnder the mighty hand of God No opinion in his own wisdome no confidence in his owne power no hope in his owne works he must deny himselfe if he professe Christ And here by the consequence of the instance he reproveth his disciples that did confound the good motion by the swelling disposition of their minde not content to bee inheritours of the kingdome of heaven but tooke vpon them to striue for superiority in that kingdome where the meanest inhabitant shall be a king the meanest reward a Crowne and all shal be like the Angels of God Where our New-borne Prince now is and enioyeth a permanent triumph most glorious among them that follow the Lamb whither so ever he goeth among those which are redeemed from among men and are the first fruits vnto God and to the Lamb having there the Royalty of happynesse as he had here the right of inheritance 9 Ambition could not tempte him nor slaunder staine him that ever his thoughts did seeke that which was not lawful neither in his intentions did he approue nor in his actions did appeare any shew of vniust acquisition * Fas. Fas was the limitation of all his resolutions The ancient revenewes which his Royal progenitors had designed in his Principality and Dukedome he regained frō the vniust possessors for the Patrimony of Prince Priest hath been is intruded vpon but such Princely clemency herein appeared that law having restored their landes and revenevves vnto his Highnesse his gracious bounty restored the possessours vpon small considerations vnto that which without right they formerly had detayned Hereby giving a taste as well of Provident managing of his state as of his benigne regarde of any that had any tenure vnder him as if his lawe had beene rather Ius Praetorium then Ius Censorium and he had affected the rules of Chauncery more thē the kings bench what Equity did yeeld him his Clemency moderated and law in his breast was attended as Virgo in heaven as with Leo on the one side the power of a Prince so with libra on the other side scales to try the weight of right wherein as in the divine scales of omnipotency so in his weights the worth of mercy outweighed the right of Iustice. So farre was he from gathering the Treasures of wickednesse by the balance of deceit from countenancing Lawes to bee snares to good mindes or quirkes to mercenary wits from denying the Kings measure to any man or turning Iudgement into wormewood that in many things he desisted from acquiring his own right when the right hand of aequitie led him thereto though the heathen observed that Iustice is a vertue in nature so conioyning with the heart of man that there is no greater sympathy betweene the Loadstone Iron then betweene Iustice and the heart So that in a Prince especially absolute Iustice in its rigour cannot seeme deformed that of Heraclitus being most true 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a Prince the Image of God Heracl
