Iudge Ienkins clearly holds forth unto us in his last Remonstrance at the barre of the House of Commons To conclude this point this second duty of Obedience to Kings is by all true subiects faithfully and loyally to be performed being a duty necessary for two respects 1. Necessitate praecepti 2. Necessitate finis First God by manifold precepts commanded Obedience to bee given to Rulers and Kings Secondly by the benefit Government affords without which all Common-wealths were mothers of common woes and would become the very shambles and slaughter-houses of Christian blood if that obedience were not given to Rulers that beare the sword The kingdom of hell which is the kingdom of confusion cannot stand * Mar. 3.22 26. being divided wanting Belzebub their Prince but should presently as one day it shall most certainly come to desolation Seeing therefore obedience to Kings is a duty so necessary for al subjects and acceptable unto God profitable unto our selves without which Kings or Kingdoms cannot stand Church or Common-weale cannot long continue Let us performe and practise this duty of obedience with a pure conscience which for conscience sake must be performed evermore honouring and obeying our dread Soveraigne the golden head of great Britane beseeching God to restore him to his glory and to pierce with sharp arrows the hearts of his enemies as the Psalmist of Solomons Psal 45.5 evermore obeying and praying God save King Charles CHAP. VI. THere are three other dutyes which are to be performed by subiects to the King honour faithful service tribute three as essentiall flowers of the crown as the former two as I could easily prove and shall if any be so bold as to deny it but at this time I respite to speak so largly of them as I might because I do not affect prolixity nor would bee tedious to my Reader of each of them then a word or two only The first is Honor Saint a 1 Pet. 2.17 Peter commands all Subjects Fear God Honour the King Saint b Rom. 13.7 Paul exhorting all to submit themselves to the higher powers concludeth Give honour to whom ye owe honour so the Lord himselfe in the fifth Commandement chargeth all to honor Father and Mother in which precept as most old and new writers well observe Kings and Magistrates are understood being politicall Fathers Fathers of the Common-wealth c Esay 49.23 Nursing Fathers of Gods Church and people And this duty to honor the King obligeth all by a three fold bond Ex Praecepto By Commandement Ex Maledicto By Punishment Ex Praxi By Practise Math. 21.21 d First by Precept God in his law hath commanded it Secondly by Punishment for God hath put a sword in their hands to cut off such as dishonor them Thirdly by Practise our Lord and Saviour with his Disciples did preach and practise obedience honor and reverence evermore to bee given to Kings and Potentates And this word honor signifieth all that duty whereby the renown dignity reverence and high estimation of the King may be preserved and unblemished and it reacheth unto our thoughts words and works 1 To honour him in our hearts and thoughts curse not the King no not in thy thought for the fowles of the heaven shall carry thy voice and that which hath wings shall discover the matter saith d Eccle. 10.20 Solomon 2 Honour him in thy words seeke not by bad and wicked speeches to disesteeme the dignity of their sacred persons for they are Gods Deputies and he that despiseth the Deputy despiseth him that appointed the Deputy wherefore God made an expresse Precept e Exod. 22.28 Thou shalt not speake evill of the Ruler of thy people And St. f Iude 8 Iude hath marked those for filthy dreamers who despise Governement and speak evill of them that are in authority 3 Honour the King in all thy actions to be ready to defend the honour and renowne of our gracious Soveraigne both by word and sword And indeed all good people did ever honour their anointed Soveraignes David Solomon N●xt God we must honour those who are in the place of God with the rest of the Kings of Israel how honourable and glorious ever accounted in the eyes of their Subjects Ierome saith where honour is absent there contempt is present and to contemne these regall children k Psalme 81.6 of the most High is to contemne the most High
