A95748	Noli me tangere, or, A thing to be thought on. Scilicet, vox carnis sacræ clamantis ab altare ad aquilam sacrilegam, noli me tangere, ne te perdam.	Udall, Ephraim, d. 1647.; Marshall, William, fl. 1617-1650.	1642 (1642)	Wing U12; Thomason E133_4	22,793	48

their powers to take it backe againe which thing because they did in keeping back part of the price they were smitten and perished with untimely Death And the punishment of Achan is notorious that for taking a wedge of Gold Ios 7. and a Babylonish Garment from among the devoted things of Iericho was stoned unto death Dangerous is it also to more publike persons even to the heads and principall members of the Common-wealth the Kings and Princes thereof Wee read how Belshazzar in a great Feast sends for the golden Vessells which his Father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the Temple at Ierusalem Dan. 5. to drinke Wine in them himselfe his Princes his Wives and Concubines Now Verse 5. at the very instant appeared the Fingers of an Hand on the plaister of the wall of his Palace where hee sate which the King seeing his countenance was changed and his minde so troubled that his joynts were loosed and his knees smote one against the other Verse 26. and the Fingers wrote these words on the Wall God hath numbred thy Kingdome and finished it thou art weighed in the Ballance and art foundwanting thy Kingdome is divided from thee and given to the Medes and Persians Then marke the end of Sacriledge In that night was Belshazzar slaine Verse 26. Which present exemplarie judgement fell upon him immediately upon the private misusage of the sacred Vessells at his owne Table that had beene consecrated and devoted to the service of Gods Temple And his Father Nebuchadnezzar that brought them away out of the Temple at Ierusalem was thrust by God out of his Kingdome Dan. 4.21 and driven from the sonnes of men and had his heart made like unto a Beasts heart and his dwelling was with the wilde Asses and he was fed with Grasse like Oxen and his Body was wet with the dew of heaven till seven times that is seven yeares had passed over him And he that shall look into storie shall find fearefull examples of his justice on-Sacrile-dgers who spares not Kings in his wrath when they will sinne proudly in this kinde against him Our owne Annalls tell us of King William Rufus and his Nephew the Sonne of Robert Duke of Normandy both slaine in hunting in that same Forrest that the Conqueror his father and grandfather to his Nephew had made and himselfe had augmented with the utter ruine of many Chappell 's Churches and religious houses And it may be observed that Henry the eighth in whose time the Statute of Dissolution was and the Tithes alienated by Statute in revenge of the Popes delaying his divorce rather than for any other reason was met withall by God for all his posterity though they came respectively to enjoy the Crowne yet were they written childlesse and he quickly in them turned out of the Kingly possession and the Crowne transferred to a branch that sprang from his father Henrie the seventh under whose shadow wee have had rest for many yeares and have cause to pray that God would make that branch to flourish and blesse and water the Buds of it that they may thrive and prosper in Princely vertue Dignity and Honour while the Sun and Moon shall shine in heaven But the fore-mentioned judgements on Sacrilegious Princes considered doe discover unto us That those that talke so much of taking away the Lands of the Church and returning them to the Crowne from whence they say they came and from whence no doubt but some of them came indeed deale childishly with God who expects our Vowes should be paid and kept for he hath no delight in Fooles that are off and on Eccles 5.4 in and out with him giving now and anon taking away what hath been formerly given like foolish Babes and also deale injuriously with the King seeking to enrich his Crowne with That that will shake it on his head and endanger both himself and his Royal Progeny and posterity to such fearefull judgements as have beene executed even on Kings for similar sinne So that of such men however their Tables please the Sacrilegious multitude and whatever paint of Eloquence may seeme to speake of their Respects and service this way for the King yet Truth will never say of them they bee of the number of those that for the grace of their lips shall have the King their friend who is wise like an Angel of God in discerning Sacriledge to bee a sin detestable before God and therefore holds it odious to his Princely heart And it is dangerous also to the Common-wealth it selfe This sinne in Achan became not onely a snare to himselfe in which he was taken and held unto destruction but all Israel was troubled by the sinne of that one Achan and the army of Israel discomfited againe and againe before the men of Ai till such time as by their solemne humiliation and the death of Athan the Sacrileger Ios 7. the iniquity was purged and the Lord appeased Neither let any man thinke that this will take away the nature of sinne from the alienation of Church Lands that it is done by a nationall Assembly of the States in Parliament whose proceedings and Sanctions must bee by rule from God otherwise they become more out of measure sinfull than actions of like quality in private men The Lawes of State are not therefore just because enacted by the State but when they agree with the common Rules of Iustice that God hath given to everie sonne of man The truth is many proud and foolish men doe Idolize a Nationall Assembly as if it had not a superior Rule to which it ought to frame all its Actions and Decrees but like a kind of omnipotent creature like the Pope to the Canonists it were a Lord God upon earth and might enact with Iustice according to its owne Vote and Will which is a singular dotage a prophane contempt of God the high and Soveraigne Law-giver and a mighty derogation to the true worth and pietie that is in the Breasts of many I am sure of our wise and godly Patriots who have so learned Christ that they will make his Will their Rule and Law and his Glory their ultimate and small ayme It will not therefore I say take from sacriledge the nature of sinne that it is committed by a Nationall Assembly giving their Sanction thereunto but it will encrease the evill and make it a Nationall sinne involving the Common-wealth therein First Psal 83.12 in her Nobility as Make their Nobles like Oreb and Zeeb yea all their Princes like Zebah and Zalmunnah that say Let us take to our selves in possession the houses of God in the Land and lap up the Gentrie the Citizens the Knights and Burgesses the whole Commons and all the Commons of England yea the whole Nation in the sinne for so saith God Yee are cursed with a curse even the whole Nation for yee have robbed mee and yee say Psal 3 8 9. wherein for
