to
be

not

to
their

,
but
also
to
their

and

Princes
,
It
cometh
not
of
Chance
or
Fortune
,
nor
of
the
Ambition
of
Mortal
men
climbing
up
of
their
own
accord
to

,
that
there

,

over

being

Subjects
;
but
all
Kings
,
Queens
,
and
other
Governours
,
are
specially
appointed
by
the
Ordinance
of
God
.
A
Rebel
is
worse
than
the
worst
Prince
,
and
Rebellion
worse
than
the
worst
Government
of
the
worst
Prince
that
hitherto
hath
been
.
—
Whatsoever
the
Prince
be
,
or
his
Government
,
it
is
evident
that
for
the
most
part
those
Princes
whom
some
Subjects
do
think
to
be
very
godly
,
and
under
whose
Government
they
rejoyce
to
live
,
some
other
Subjects
do
take
the
same
to
be
evil
and
ungodly
,
and
do
wish
for
a
Change
.
If
therefore
all
Subjects
that
mislike
of
their
Prince
should
revel
,
no
Realm
should
ever
be
without
Rebellion
.
But
what
if
a
Prince
be
evil
indeed
,
and
undiscreet
,
and
it
is
evident
to
all
mens
eyes
that
he
is
so
?
I
ask
again
,
What
if
it
be
long
of
the
wickedness
of
his
Subjects
that
he
is
so
,
shall
the
Subjects
by
their
wickedness
both
provoke
God
for
their
deserved
punishment
to
give
them
an
evil
and
indiscreet
Prince
,
and
also
rebel
against
him
,
and
withal
against
God
,
who
for
the
punishment
of
their
sins
did
give
them
such
a
Prince
?
Will
you
hear
the
Scripture
in
this
point
?
God
maketh
a
wicked
man
to
raign
,
for
the
sins
of
the
people
.
Again
,
meaning
an
evil
one
meaning
when
he
taketh
away
a
good
Prince
for
the
sins
of
the
people
:
as
in
our
memory
he
took
away
our
good
for
our
wickedness
.
Again
And
again
And
for
Subjects
to
deserve
through
their
sins
to
have
an
evil
Prince
,
and
then
to
rebel
against
him
,
were
double
and
treble
evil
,
by
provoking
God
more
to
plague
them
,
let
us
either
deserve
to
have
a
good
Prince
,
or
let
us
patiently
suffer
and
obey
such
as
we
deserve
:
and
whether
the
Prince
be
good
or
evil
,
let
us
according
to
the
Scriptures
pray
for
him
for
his
continuance
and
increase
in
goodness
if
he
be
good
,
and
for
his
amendment
if
he
be
evil
.

this
:
Their

other

the

When
came

them
in
full
and
quiet
possession
of
their
Religion
,
which
they
had
enjoyed
without
interruption
for
almost
fifty
years
,
and
which
was
such
an
inestimable
blessing
,
that
they
had
plainly
undervalued
it
,
if
they
had
not
done
their
utmost
to
keep
it
:
and
then
to
have
this
treasure
wrested
out
of
their
hands
by
one
bred
up
in
the
bosom
of
the
Church
,
who
professed
himself
a
Christian
,
and
never
pull'd
off
his
Masque
till
it
was
too
late
for
them
to
help
themselves
;
this
was
enough
to
raise

all
their

,

all
their

—
their

in

in
the
Land
of
where
he
had
no

,
no
not
so
much

to
set

But
as
his

were
afterward
Lords
of
that
Country
,
so
after
another
Egyptian
Bondage
,
Christianitie
was
advanced
to
be
the
established
Religion
of
the
Empire
.
The
Reformed
Religion
hath
acquired
a
civil
Right
,
and
the
protection
of
Laws
:
if
we
ought
not
to
lose
our
Lives
,
Liberties
and
Estates
,
but
where
forfeited
by
Law
,
we
ought
much
rather
not
to
lose
them
for
the
profession
of
the
best
Religion
,
which
by
Law
is
made
the
publick
National
Religion
.
And
it
is
strange
that
some
men
of
the
same
Religion
in
profession
,
can
think
(
that
notwithstanding
)
it
makes
no
matter
what
is
done
to
a
man
if
he
be
Religious
;
but
if
he
be
not
so
,
the

injustice
may
be
resisted
,
vindicated
,
remedied
,
and
by
right
defended
by
old
Laws
,
or
new
ones
to
be
made
for
that
purpose
.
The
Christian
Religion
was
publisht
when
the
whole
world
was
Pagan
,
and
therefore
it
was
submitted
to
such
usage
as
the
Governours
would
give
it
.
But
when
the
Christian
Faith
had
by
Miracles
of
patience
declared
it self
to
be
of
Heaven
,
according
to
the
Prophecies
on
that
behalf
,
it
took
possession
of
the
Empire
,
and
Crowns
and
Scepters
became
submitted
to
the
Cross
;
and
the
Christians
acquired
a
civil
Right
of
protection
and
immunity
,
which
they
ought
not
,
they
cannot
relinquish
and
abandon
,
no
more

they
can

excellent
Book
Now
let
David
answer
to
such
demands
as
men
desirous
of
Rebellion
do
use
to
make
:
Shall
not
we
,
being
so
good
men
as
we
are
,
rise
and
rebel
against
a
Prince
hated
of
God
,
and
Gods
enemy
?
and
therefore
likely
not
to
prosper
either
in
war
or
peace
?
but
to
be
hurtful
and
pernicious
to
the
Commonwealth
?
No
,
saith
good
and
godly
Gods
and
such
a
Kings
faithful
Subject
:
and
so
convicting
such
Subjects
as
attempt
any
Rebellion
against
such
a
King
,
to
be
neither
good
subjects
nor
good
men
.
But
say
they
,
Shall
we
not
rise
and
rebel
against
so
unkind
a
Prince
,
nothing
considering
and
regarding
our
true
faith
and
painful
Service
,
nor
the
safe
guard
of
our
posterity
?
No
,
saith
good
whom
no
such
unkindness
could
cause
to
forsake
his
due
Obedience
to
his
Soveraign
.
Shall
we
not
,
say
they
,
rise
and
rebel
against
our
known
mortal
and
deadly
enemy
that
seeks
our
lives
?
No
,
saith
good
who
had
learned
that
lesson
which
our
Saviour
afterward
plainly
taught
,
that
we
should
do
no
hurt
to
our
fellow-subjects
,
though
they
hate
us
and
be
our
enemies
;
much
less
to
our
Prince
,
though
he
were
our
enemy
.
Shall
not
we
assemble
an
Army
of
such
good
fellows
as
we
are
,
and
by
hazarding
our
lives
,
and
the
lives
of
such
as
stand
with
us
,
and
withal
hazarding
the
State
of
our
Country
,
remove
so
naughty
a
Prince
?
No
,
saith
godly
for
I
when
I
might
,
without
assembling
force
,
without
tumult
,
or
hazard
of
any
mans
life
,
or
shedding
a
drop
of
blood
,
have
delivered
my self
and
Country
of
an
evil
Prince
,
yet
would
I
not
do
it
.
Are
not
they
,
say
some
,
lusty
and
couragious
Captains
,
that
do
venture
to
kill
and
depose
their
King
,
being
a
naughty
Prince
,
and
their
mortal
enemy
?
They
may
be
as
couragious
as
they
list
,
yet
,
saith
godly
they
can
be
no
good
or
goodly
men
that
so
do
;
for
I
not
onely
have
rebuked
,
but
commanded
him
to
be
stain
as
a
wicked
man
,
which
slew
King
my
enemy
,
though
he
being
weary
of
his
life
,
desired
that
man
to
slay
him
.
What
shall
we
then
do
to
an
evil
and
unkind
Prince
,
an
enemy
to
us
,
hated
of
God
,
hurtful
to
the
Commonwealth
?
Lay
no
violent
hands
upon
him
,
saith
good
but
let
him
live
until
God
appoint
and
work
his
end
by

death
,
or
in

My dearly beloved Brethren , fellow-Souldiers and fellow-Saints , we have hitherto hazzarded our Lives under a Pagan and Tyrannical Prince , who hath employed us as a Forlorn Hope on all desperate designs , purposely to destroy us ; and though he be drunk with the bloud of our Brethren now spilt before our Eyes , yet doth he thirst after ours also , having appointed us as so many Sheep for the Slaughter . Hearken , my beloved , the Kings of the Earth ever were , and ever will be , Enemies to the King of Heaven : It is not I , but the Spirit of God by David tells you , The Kings of the Earth set themselves , and the Rulers take Counsel together against the Lord , and against his Anointed ; but the same Spirit tells us , that notwithstanding , he hath set his King upon the holy hill of Sion , who shall break the Kings of the Earth with a Rod of Iron , and dash them in pieces like a Potters Vessel ; and his Saints shall have the honour of binding their Kings in Chains , and their Nobles with Fetters of Iron . Moreover , Brethren , we read how in old time , for the sake of his Elect , God reproved Kings , saying , Touch not mine Anointed , and do my Prophets no harm . It is true , that God hath appointed Government as his Ordinance , but he hath not tied us up to Monarchie , which all the Wise men of Greece have rejected , and called them all by the name they deserved , Tyrants . And though our Emperours came in upon us by Conquest and Surprize , yet we have been governed heretofore by a Senate ; and sometime the Senate , and sometime the Souldiery have cut off their Emperours for their Arbitrary Government , and set up others in the room . So that if we grant the Office to be from God , yet the person appointed to that Office is a Creature of man , or a Humane Creature ; and they that set them up , may pull them down ; for they are appointed to be a terrour to evil-doers , and to be the Ministers of God to us for our good : But when he is a Murtherer of them that do well , as we see by this bloudy Execution on our Fellow-Souldiers , he is the Devils Minister , not Gods ; and in resisting , we fight not against him , but the Devil that is in him . Besides , that which this Tyrant intends , is such an arbitrary Act of his own , that the great Senate , whose Counsel and Authority he hath rejected , are afraid of the like cruelty , and would be glad to be restored to their Authoritie . Let us therefore be no longer Servants of such men , but stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free : Hath not he made us his First-born , higher than the Kings of the Earth ? Are not we a Royal Priesthood ? and have not the Saints a promise that they shall inherit the Earth ? The Gentiles may permit Kings to exercise Lordship over them , but it ought not to be so with us , 'T is in vain to expect till the Emperours become Christians ; we Christians must make our selves Emperours ; at least we may divide the Empire among us , and set up Christ alone to rule as King in the midst of us , in a HOLY COMMON-WEALTH . And now is the time , or never : If we should tamely submit to the Tyrants Sword , our Religion , which is bound up in our Lives , will perish with us , and the Generations yet unborn will curse us . Did not Moses slay the Egyptian that assaulted his Brother ? and were not the Israelites commanded to kill the Canaanites ? What if some one of our number , who undervalues his Life , go and dispatch the Tyrant ? Melius pereat unus quam unitas : you Romans know my meaning .
Once more , my Brethren , there is a Law and dictate of nature that will justifie us in resisting those that would take away our Lives . Self-preservation is a Law above any humane Constitution . By what Law must we die , that have the Law of Nature for our Self-preservation , which is equivalent to the Law of God ? And did not Cicero that great Commonwealths-man tell us , that Salus Populi Suprema Lex ? If those Infidels that are appointed to cut our Throats will venture their Lives for such an Earthly Master , shall we lay them down cowardly without doing any thing for our Heavenly Master , for our Religion , which he hath intrusted us with , and will require it at our hands , if we betray it , and seek not to convey it to our Children ? And if we die without endeavouring it , we may perish in the next world for perishing so tamely in this . And thus I hope I have satisfied all scruples of Conscience . And now , I beseech you , suffer a word of Exhortation .
Now is the time that God will redeem his People by our hands . Now is the time that we must vindicate our Christian Liberty . Now is the time that we must destroy those Romish Wolves that would devour the Flock of Christ . What though we be in our selves but few in number ? Were not the people so by whom God delivered Israel , by the hands of Joshua and Gideon ? What though our Enemies be many ? hath it not been known , when one hath chased a Thousand , and two put ten thousand to flight ? and may not the Roman Valour , assisted by the Arm of Christ , do more than the Jewish ? Besides , though there be but this one Legion that are entirely Christians , there are infinite numbers scattered up and down the Empire , whose hearts are ASSOCIATED with us already , and wait for such an opportunity as our stout resistance will give them . Did not Pliny complain to Trajan , that the Christian Assemblies were so great , that their Heathen Temples were quite forsaken , Et sacra Solennia diu intermissa ? Did not Tertullian many years since tell us , that the Cities and Garisons , and Camp , were filled with Christian Souldiers ? and are there not great numbers multiplied now , and ready to joyn with us ? And a later Doctor , Cyprian , a holy Martyr , told us , that our number is Nimius & Copiosus : and the numbers of such faithful brethren are much encreased rather than diminished , since that time . Be strong then , and couragious ; be not afraid nor dismaid , for Maximian , nor all the multitude with him : there are more with us than there are with him : With them is the Arm of flesh , with us is the Lord our God to help us , and to fight our battels . Vp then and be doing , ye mightie men of Valour ; fight the Lords battels , and he will fight for you . Do not basely cast away your lives like so many felo's de se ; sell them at as dear a rate as you can . It better becomes the Roman Valour to dye like men in defence of their lives and Religion , than ignominiously to have their throats cut like so many Swine by a bloudy Butcher : If we perish in such a glorious enterpize , yet we shall live in the records of the Ages to come , and give the world a good example : but if we survive , we shall enjoy the honours and glories of the world ; Religion will flourish with us , and the Church here on Earth be like that in Heaven , no more Militant , but Triumphant .

whom
you
DECLAIME
MANY
THINGS
TO
NO

,
I
give
you
libertie
to
talk
till
you
are
hoarse
:
yet
that
which
you
assert
so
largely
,
to
take
with
the
vulgar
and
unlearned
,
That
every
Christian
was
subject
to
their
Kings
,
whether
they
were
just
,
or
whether
they
were
Tyrants
,
until
the
power
of
the
Pope
was
acknowledged
to
be
greater
than
that
of
the
King
,
and
till
be
absolved
Subjects
from
their
Oaths
of
Fidelitie
;
I
have
shewn
that
to
be
most
false
by
many
examples
.
Nor
doth
that
seem
more
true
which
you
say
in
the
last
place
,
that
Pope
did
abselve
the
French
from
their
Oath
of
Allegiance
a
French-man
and
a
Lawyer
,
denieth
that
was
deposed
by
the
Popes
authoritie
,
or
that
his
Kingdom
was
given
to
but
that
all
this
was
transacted
by
the
authoritie
of
the
great
Council
of
that
Nation
,
as
appears
by
ancient
Annals
,
which
shew
that
there
was
no
need
of
absolving
the
Subjects
from
that
Oath
;
which
also
Pope
utterly
denied
:
for
in
the
French
Histories
it
is
recorded
,
as
witness
,
That
the
French
did
from
the
beginning
reserve
to
themselves
a
power
as
of
chusing
,
so
of
deposing
their
Kings
;
and
that
they
were
not
wont
to
swear
any
other
Fidelitie
to
the
Kings
whom
they
created
,
than
that
they
would
yield
them
Faith
and
Allegiance
,
if
their
Kings
did
perform
that
which
they
also
swore
to
do
.
So
that
if
the
King
by
male-administration
first
broke
his
Oath
,
there
was
no
need
of
the
Pope
,
the
perfidiousness
of

from

Sacred
Maxime
It
is
better
to
obey
God
than
man
,
i.
e.
(
i.
e.
That the Governours may not be resisted , though they command what is not right . And therefore it is added in that place of Samuel , v. 18. that when the people are so oppressed by their King , that there is no remedie , they are to invoke his help who is the Supreme Judge of Heaven and Earth . And when our Saviour commands in the New Testament to give Caesar his due , he intended doubtless that they should yield as great , if not greater Obedience , both Active and Passive , unto the Higher Power , than what was due from the Jews ; which St. Paul ( Rom. 13. ) expounds more largely , and chargeth those that resist the power of Kings with no less Crime than rebellion against Gods Ordinance , and with a Judgment as great as their sin . So that as there is a necessitie for our Subjection , there is also for our Not Resisting : Wherefore the Powers set over us are to be obeyed , not servilely , superstitiously , or out of fear ; but with free , rational , and generous Spirits , tanquam à diis dati , as being Gods Ordinance ; and being commissioned by him , cannot do more or less than he orders and permits them to do .
Another reason is drawn from our benefit , the Government being constituted for our good , and therefore in conscience not to be resisted : for the Apostles Argument respects that universal good for which Government , was first instituted , ( i. e. ) the publick Peace , wherein every one is concerned more than in his private . — Now he that resists , doth as much as in him lies dissolve his Countries Peace , and so will burie himself in the Ruines of it at the end ; and were it not for Governmens , a Kingdom would be but like a great Pond , wherein the bigger Fishes devour the lesser . Omnia erit fortiorum .
Object . The Commands of Princes do not alway tend to the publick good ; and when they decline from that end , they are not to be obeyed .
Answ. Though the Supreme Magistrate doth sometime , through fear , anger , lust , or other passions , swerve from the path of Justice and Equitie ; yet these hapning but seldom , are to be past by as personal blemishes : which , as Tacitus observes , are abundantly recompensed by the benefit of better Princes . — Laws may be called good , though they fit not every mans case , if they obviate such disorders as are frequently practised , and so do good to the generalitie of the People .

are
under

of

,
That

That

,

for

on

pleasure
:
So
that
though
the

was
made
here
by
the

established
by
Law
,
and
hath
acquired
Civil
Rights
not
to
be

by

and

,
these
men
yet
speak
as
if
they
envied
the
Rights
of
their
own
Religion
,
and
had
a
mind
to
reduce
the
Church
back
again
into
a
state
and
condition
of
being
persecuted
,
and
designed
that
she
should
be

there

a

in

the

,
who
are
perhaps
as
eminent
in
the

of

,
and
as
diligent
in
their
labours
,
as
hath
been
in
any
one
Church
in
any
Age
since
Miracles
ceased
.
The
humility
and
strictness
of
life
in
many
of
our
Prelates
,
and
some
that
were
highly
born
,
and
yet
have
far
outgone
some
others
from
whom
more
might
have
been
expected
,
raiseth
them
far
above
censure
,
though
perhaps
not
above
envie
.
And
when
such
think
not
the
daily
instructing
their
Neighbours
a
thing
below
them
,
but
do
it
with
as
constant
a
care
as
if
they
were
to
earn
their
Bread
by
it
:
when
they
are
so
affable
to
the
meanest
Clergie-men
that
come
to
them
;
when
they
are
nicely
scrupulous
about
those
whom
they
admit
into
Holy
Orders
,
and
so
large
in
their
Charities
,
that
one
would
think
they
were
furnished
with
some
unseen
ways
;
these
things
must
needs
raise
great
esteem
for
such
Bishops
,
and
seem
to
give
some
hopes
of
better
times
.
Of
all
this
I
may
be
allowed
to
speak
the
more
freely
,
since
I
am
led
to
it
by
none
of
those
Bribes
either
of
Gratitude
,
or
Fear
,
or
Hope
,
which
are
wont
to
corrupt
men
to
say
what
they
do
not
think
.
But
I
were
much
to
blame
,
if
in
a
Work
that
may
perhaps
live
some
time
in
the
world
,
I
should
onely
find
fault
with
what
is
amiss
,
and
not
also
acknowledge
what
is
so
very
commendable
and
praise-worthy
.
And
when
I
look
into
the
inferiour
Clergie
,
there
are
,
chiefly
about
this
great
City
of
so
many
so
eminent
,
both
for
the
strictness
of
their
Lives
,
the
constancie
of
their
Labours
,
and
plain
way
of
Preaching
,
which
is
now
perhaps
brought
to
as
great
a
perfection
as
ever
was
since
men
spoke
as
they
received
it
immediately
from
the
Holy
Ghost
;
the
great
gentleness
of
their
Deportment
to
such
as
differ
from
them
,
their
mutual
love
and
charity
,
and
in
a
word
,
for
all
the
qualities
that
can
adorn
Ministers
or
Christians
;
that
if
such
a
number
of
such
men
cannot
prevail
with
this
debauched
Age
,
this
one
thing
to
me
looks
more
dismally
than
all
the
other
affrighting

of
