BRIDGES IOABS COVNSELL AND KING DAVIDS SEASONABLE HEARING IT Delivered in a SERMON Before the Honourable House of COMMONS At their late solemne Fast Feb. 22. By W. BRIDGES Preacher of the Gospell at Dunstans in the East London LONDON Printed by R. Cotes for Andrew Crooke and are to be sold at his shop at the signe of the Greene Dragon in Pauls Church-yard 1643. TO THE HONOVRABLE the House of COMMONS Assembled in PARLIAMENT IN a willing obedience to your Commands I here present to your Eyes what You were lately pleased to attend unto with great patience and Christian chearefullnesse with your eares Christ Iesus please to speake that to the hearts of the Auditory which I did to their eares that in this time of great sorrow there may that evidence be to our Ministery which would be to every conscionable man a matter of great joy that some may be undeceived and brought to see the things that concerne their peace A wonderfull security and insensiblenesse lies upon our people every where beside a spirit of contradiction or malignity deserving a censure like that Act. 7.51 My humble request to you is that you will please to accept this as an earnest of my affectionate service to you and the Publique My humble request to God for you is that he will please to carry on the weighty Services you have in hand for his glory and the good of the Kingdome of Iesus Christ and the bringing to passe the worke of Reformation through so maine so great oppositions So prayes your most humble Servant W. BRIDGES From my Study in Minchin Lane Feb. 27. 1642 THE PREFACE THE businesse of Christ Jesus Kingdome in these sad times yee Servants of the living God is looked upon with the squint eyed multitude under an Hexapla of considerations The first is a Theologicall they would make us beleeve they desire Divinely or at least Divine-like to behold it To say nothing of Bookes Dr. Ferne. for they have had their Answers and some of them newly furbushed over speake such language now as the Author knew not in the time of his delivery of himselfe upon that subject Grand Rebellion by Gr. Williams or else the Title page sayes that which the Booke proves not at all I shall deliver the sense of the whole in that of Rom. 13. He that resisteth c. and of the Evangelist Resist not evill c. To let goe Fathers Pr●●●er out of them Epist Syned Cui nomen libellus supplex Tom. 1 fol. 80 3. Conc. ●ph●s Da●enet pa. 77. something out of the Councels the Doctrine of our owne Bishops and other things that might be said J shall desire the Reader to observe from me 1. That the King must command not onely according to Gods but Mans Law also 2. That if he doe not so command the resistance is not a resistance of power but will 3. That to say such a resistance must be but only defensive is non-sense for so a man may be resisting ever and never resist like the filly women of whom the Apostle sayes they are ever learning and never attaine to the Truth The Second is an Historicall they conceive and say Never such times such Taxations such Precedents such a warre c. Never Sure you erre much in point of History the twentyeth part fifteenth part See Chron. K. John Ed. 2. c. seventh part as in the Reigne of King Iohn and others c. But here the willing to learne must know 1. That if some be taken away it is to preserve them and the rest And 2. Whether they had rather part with it to the Parliament or that and their lives too to the Cavaliers The third is a Legall consideration Some propositions J would make to our Malignants skilled in the Law which shall be these 1. whether I had better trust to another mans favour or to mine owne strength for my defence My strength is the Law against which if the government command it does me wrong if J obey I doe my selfe wrong 2. The great offence of authority is whatsoever is committed against the security of the State 3. Arist Heathens tell us that the wise must give asmuch to the Law as may be but to the Lawgiver as little for saies he he is a man subject to passions may be miscarryed c. 4. The Law is the common surety betweene the King and the Subject that is to say it bindes me to pay the King Tribute c. and binds the King that J shall enjoy my protection 5. In a word he is a good Subject that lookes up ward to see what in God Gods Vicegerent commandeth and secondly that lookes downeward to see whom the obedience thereunto doth either hurt or hinder Papists grant us this Bellarm. that in the Superior three things are concurrent 1. The place which is from Christ alone 2 The person which is from the choosers 3. The union of these two which is from Christ but by the mediation of a humane act Let Protestants then have their ei●s in their foreheads The fourth consideration is criticall My money shall never helpe to kill men I answer your money is not yours if the Lord the Law the Liberty the cause or the defenders thereof stand in neede thereof no more then the asse in the Gospell or the bread and beese of Naball Matth 21.3 ● Sam. 25 1● theirs in the like case 2. I answer your money shall not helpe to kill well if you hinder the killing quelling of those who would both kill and quell us ours our Religion Kingdome you become friends of Gods enemies and ours and resolve to make peace with them with whom God hath resolved to have warre Exod. 17. ult The fifth consideration is a sullen Melancholy one trading's dead our Money goes never so many payments c. This man is not worth the answering J shall onely desire him to learne if he be learneable what Iob sayes Iob 2.10 Shall we receive good at the hands of God and not evil also The Gospel hath beene a peaceable plentifull Gospel and then you loved it ran after it but now it is otherwise you are otherwise affected To you J shall commend that Iohn 6.26 You follow me for the loaves c. The sixth is a meere foolish consideration if it may so be tearmed
