their houses so procure a curse against themselues For the Scripture sayeth Couet not the siluer nor golde that is vppon their Idoles nor take it vnto thy selfe least thou be snard therewith Bring not therefore abomination into thine house least thou be accursed like vnto it but vtterly abhor it Againe in an other place it is saide There shall nothing of the damned things cleaue vnto thine hand That the Lord may turne from thee the fearcenesse of his wrath and shew thee mercie when thou shalt obey the voice of the Lord. Nowe although this bee written in the Olde Testament it astricketh and bindeth aswell vs as the Iewes Not to couet after euill and vnlawfull things as they did For these things are written for ensamples to vs as the Apostle sheweth So albeit the law of Deuteronomy is not to be vrged precisely in al things yet as lusting after euil thinges is ay couetousnes so thieft is euer thieft and Sacrilege is euer Sacrilege But yet they whome we accuse as sacrilegious may make instance and saye how can ye call alwaies things dedicate to Idolatrie holy things And againe if these things cannot be handled or intrometted with in any sorte how can ye applye the same to the vse of the reformed Kirke and true seruice of God seeing ye abhorre Idolatrie and hold such thinges abhominable For aunswere first I denie that these thinges were dedicate only to Idolatrie for I haue prouen the contrary of before And as to that allegeance that thinges dedicate to Idolatrous seruice if they be abhominable how can they bee applyed to the seruice of God in his reformed Kirke being abhominable in themselues I say Sirres wee lack not examples of the Scripture that such things may and should be employed to the true seruice of God In the spoyle of Iericho The Lord commanded that all the siluer and Gold and other mettle that was found in the Citty should be put in the treasure of the house of the Lord. In the which no doubt many thinges were that had bene dedicate to Idoles service And yet in the meane time expresse inhibition was made that no particular man shoulde meddle with any thereof least he make himselfe execrable thereby And the punishmente that was executed against ACHAN declared how far God was offended with that transgression of that his commandement The like may be spoken of things taken in warre by the Isralites of their enemies as of Madianites and others And of Gedeon who made sacrifice to the Lord of his fathers bullocke and trees of the grâ—…ue dedicate vnto Baal And vnder the Law of the Gospell the Prophet sheweth that the Gentiles shall bring al their riches to serue the Lord and to beautifie the house of his glorie Now because in this there is no great question wee come to more pithy apparante argumentes that our Kirk-robbers alleage for thâ—…mselues The Kirk-rentes say they namely the first kirk-kirk-lands for the most parte were giuen by Kinges his majesties predecessors mooved of blind zeale to the Kirk in time of Papistrie for such abuses ar now abolished to abbaies principally other places called religious to pray for the dead sing say Messes to vse other their superstitious service The which landes rents so giuen haue greatly hurte diminished the patrimony of the crown Therfore the king with advise of his estates in Parliament hes called in revoked these donations namely of lands taken them againe to his Hienes own patrimonie disposition And we againe haue obteined some of these lands erected to vs our aires by liberality of the Prince in temporal livings or lordships And so we possesse the same justly by our lawful titles therfore we ought not to be rayled on nor called Sacrilegious possessors I answere simply not for offence of any but to vtter the trueth that I judge these kinde of erectiones or whatsoeuer new required titles by such meanes that the possessours can pretende to bee altogether vnlawfull But this question requires greater consideration which standeth in two heads The one is what entereste the Prince hes or may justly pretend in Ecclesiastical liuings The other what right or title thereof he may dispone vnto others As to the former of these two heads without offence of the Prince I speake who is prejudged by this kinde of dealing aswell as the Kirke I say that Kinges in so farre as they be called nurishing Fathers of the Kirke they ought to see sufficient prouision bee made for vp-holding the seruice thereof And the Kirk againe to bestow al dutie for furthering the Prince in the publick affaires of the common wealth But the Prince to suffer the Kirke to be spoyled not hauing first prouided sufficient meanes how they that serue in the Kirk may be honestly interteined according to their estate with the other affaires thereof And the schooles and the poore who ought not to bee neglected well seene to it cannot stande with good conscience law divine nor humane Therefore I saye albeit these men alleage the Kirke-rents to be ouer-great to begin at the spoyle of the Kirke the other not being done is a very preposterous order When AHAB being but a very wicked king would haue taken NABOTHS vine-yarde he offred first to giue him a better vine-yard then it was or the worth thereof if it pleased him he being a priuate man in money And so he would haue done indeed if NABOTH had accepted the condition Now to take from the Kirk of God which is more then to take from any particular person a greate parte of the rente thereof and giue nothing in the place of it nether to make sufficient prouision for the necessarie affaires thereof I thinke the like example hes not bene practised in any Christian Countrie or common weill heretofore If they will giue instance of our neighbour cuntrie there is no comparison for they that serue in the Kirks there at least are all wel provided of liuings But they will reply The Parliament estates agreed to take these Kirk-landes Therefore it ought to stande as a law and it is not now time to dispute nor reason thereupon But howe many acts of Parliament I pray you are oftentimes againe called annulled by contrarie actes And how can they bee annalyed or bought vake vnles they be first reasoned vpon Yea this were a very hard rigorous dealing in a Princes minoritie to make a lawe not onely prejudiciall to God and his Kirke but also to the Prince himselfe if it be rightly considered and yet no man to haue place to speake against it or to sute any reformation The Civill law sayes that things done in prejudice of the Kirk albeit confirmed by laws are to be rescinded And al such statuts sayth the Emperour FREDERICK should be raysed out of the act bookes Moreouer the lawes made after this maner in prejudice of the Kirk may well be
in his house of praier or take his name in their mouth whose harts are polluted Doutles as the Psalmes testifie GOD shall set himselfe a seuere judge against them set their offenses before their faces to their just condemnation without they amende their doings whereof there is ouer-little appearance in many of them What better are these men with their â—…eined profession then the souldiers that crucified Christ our Sauiour to haue his garments to parte amongst them yet in some case they are worse for they will not be contented with vsuall partage nor to cast lottes for Christes coate but euerie one would pull from another some the Landes some the teindes some the patronages some the Prelacies some the other benefices Ay the mightier prevailing against them of lesse power such as they may hinder And albeit there be many vngodly contentiones and controversies in the lande namely amongst great men yet for no cause arise there so many pleadings in the lawe as for the teinds Ecclesiastical goods how many braulings and debates how many convocations of the Kings lieges yea how much shedding of bloud in diuerse parts is committed for such causes In the meane time the poore labourers of the grounde who should haue had an ease and moderation of the seuere payment of their teindes to relieue their necessities they being so hardly handled by their maisters and ouer lordes in other cases not only get no commoditie there of but suffer great damnage being compelled to leede the whole teindes both corne and straye to the vse of their gredye maisters or others vn-juste possessoures of the same to their vine-yairds yea often-times the stocke and remanent of their cornes is wâ—…acked and put in poynte of tinsell for lacke of tymous teinding I cannot tel if any man oâ—… good conscience that truely feareth GOD should studie or labour to stay or compone these controversies that rise in the land for the Kirk goodes amongst such greedie and vnlawfull possessours of the same The Ministers of the word in the meanetime not being sufficiently prouided nor the other affairés of the Kirk furnished with the necessities of the poore wherefore the teindes in speciall were appoynted who are altogether neglected â—…nd idle bellies with such as are rather enemies then friendes to the true Kirk of Iesus Christ fostred and vpholden thereupon For the which cause amongst many others the wrath of God is threatned continually from time to time may most justly fal vpon this vnthankfull land and inhabitants thereof who hauing the Gospel of the Sonne of God so liberally purely peaceably offred vnto them that no cuntrie hath or hes had the like not onely disdaines and abuses it by their wicked liues but also stayes taks away by such Sacrilegious dealing the ordinary means wherby the same shal be interteined without the which it cannot coÌ„tinue laboring so far as in them lieth to banish Christ and his gospel from amongst vs regarding more his pelfe nor himself are to be counted double murtherâ—…rs both of bodies and soules of men as hath bin told before Herefore to conclude for the preseÌ„t I would earnestly exhort al them that fear God truely specially you of this congregation committed vnto my charge albeit I suppose there bee not many amongst you defiled with this filthy crime of Sacrilege that yee bee not partakers with them who are involued in this sinne but rather abhorre and reprooue it And if they will not heare your admonition condemne their doeinges at leaste in your conscience And this I speake the more earnestly because I feare there be some amongst you that will rather pay your teindes and duties to such idle bellies as deuoure vp the sweat of your browes your seruantes for nothing doing to your commodity nor to them that labour in the vine-yaird of the Lord others to whom the same ought justly to perteine And thinke it not sufficient excuse to say this is a common fault through the whole Country which we cannot mend for an euil thing the more common it bee is the worse And the Wise-man saieth Follow not the multitude in euil doing Therefore suppose the committers of this crime amongst vs like senseles blockes passe ouer and shrinke not for any admonitions exhorting them to repentance skarsely one amongst the whole multitude labour to take vp him selfe and amend the fault or to restore any thing wrongfully withholden by them from the Kirkes vse and therefore the greater damnation abideth them for ought we can see yet thinke not with your selues we may do as other men doe or at least behold their doings and be nothing mooued there-with For they that will not lament for the contrition of IOSEPH that is for the estate of the Kirk of God being ready to decay and come to ruine by the doings of such vngodly Kirk-robbers are not worthy to be counted amongst the true members of Gods holy Kirk The Lorde for his mercie graunt that all our hearts may be effectually mooued to know our dutie in this and all other behalfes and that he will make vs obedient for our partes to his wil and commandements and put remedie to the desolations of his Kirk by such meanes as he thinketh best To him be prayse and glorie for euer and euer AGAINST SACRILEGE The second Sermon Rom. 2. 22.

declared null in themselues Because the most part of them were made in the Princes minoritie as also because that represented the third estate for the kirk had no commission nor power from the reformed Kirk being Bishoppes and Abbottes the most parte of them of the papistical promotion protestation being made also publicklie for nullitie of their proceedings But leauing nowe the Princes parte who is indeede nothing helped nor inriched by these annexations assumptions as they cal them of the kirk-lands rentes for if they were it should be more tolerable I come to the second head cōcerning them to whom the Prince hath disponed in heritable titles the lands and rents of the kirk by new erectiōs as they tearme thē in temporal liuings or lordships These kinde of dispositiōs I affirme to be more vnlawfull a great deale nor if the Prince should haue holden the same in his own hands yea moreouer I say sik gifts dispositions may not stand lawful ly neither by the law of God ciuil laws nor municipal laws of the cuntry For as to Gods law I think they wil acclaime to no warrante of it because it maketh directly against them involving them in the estate of Achan Ananias Sapphira procureth rather a curse againste them without they repente amende Which the Prophete MALACHIE pronounceth against such persons as defraud the Lord of his teinds offrings And as to the civill Lawes Ecclesiasticall cannons we may easely finde an infinite number against them forbidding all alienation and distraction of Kirke-goodes to the vse of any particular person Reade the first booke of Iustinian his lawes in the volume called Codex in the title de Sacrosanctis Ecclesiis and others titles following wherein all alienation of Kirk goods is decerned null and of no force and the things alienated are commanded to bee restored To the same purpose agree the lawes of the newe constitutiones called Authentickes in so far that it is not permitted to the Prince himselfe to permit or change with any of the goodes of the Kirk called vnmoveable vnlesse he giue the better in steede thereof And LEO the Emperour sayet◅ that they who dispone these goodes haue Sacrilegious mindes Therefore they who haue perswaded our Prince whom God preserue to annaly or dispone to themselues or to others these Kirk-landes haue done that they might to haue him counted Sacrilegious as they are The lawe also ordeineth the byers of these goods to lose the price and to restore the goods againe The Notars of such contractes to be banished the Iudges that ratifie the actes of such alienationes to bee deposed from their dignities Howe much more are they to be judged gyltie and punished that take and vsurpe those goods without alienation to their owne commoditie I omit here to cite many ancient Cānons of Councels to this effect which would occupy long time For who list to reade the volumes of Councels Cannon-law may finde them very frequent in many places Comming then to the lawes of the Countrie and naturall reason the foundation of all good lawes I saye the corrupted dealing of our time concerning Kirk-robberie is such as can not stand neither with the one nor with the other For as to our municipal laws which are either the lawes of the Majestie or actes of Parliament The lawes of the Majesty altogether disallow alienation of Kirk-goodes in so far as if the Prelate himselfe Abbote or Bishoppe make any alienation or disposition thereof from the Kirke vse The byer thereof should lose the price and the landes may be taken againe by the King but not disponed to others if they were giuen by him or his Predecessors And in the acts of Parliament both ancient and recent commonly the first acte is that the liberties and freedomes of the Kirke be keiped And how can these liberties be but hurte when the Patrimonie of the kirk is taken awaie and giuen to profane men profane vses Now to come in particular to these new erectiones and new found infeftmentes of Kirk-Lands they are as I vnderstande of two sortes For some are giuen before the annexation of them to the Crowne and some thereafter As to the former I woulde know by what law or reason they could be giuen by a simple gifte of the Prince they being not yet come in his handes and the consent of the true Kirke neuer had thereto For as to the consent of Abbots and Bishoppes being the moste parte of the Papisticall promotion and chiefe wrackers of the Kirke no◅ hauing any commission from the true reformed Kirke it cannot bee of any force in this case to defraude the Kirke of her Patrimonie And albeit the whole Kirke had consented their consente could not bee sufficient to dilapidat or annaly the Kirk Lands in propertie to any person they being themseues onely vsufructuares and not proprietares thereof And as to the Princes parte can he take any priuate mans heritage from him and giue it to whome hee pleaseth without consent of partie or fore faltrie I think all men will say no. Much lesse then may he dispone these lands from God and his Kirk by sik simple donationes As to the other sorte of infeftmentes or erectiones giuen after the annexation they can be no better in effect for giuing only for arguments cause that these lands were lawfullie annexed to the Crown whereuppon I wil not now farther dispute I say the King cannot by the Lawes of his Realme dispone the same againe from the crowne they being once annexed therto Reade the 43. acte of King IAMES the seconde the 86. of King IAMES the Thirde the 24. of King IAMES the Fourth and likewise his Revocation acte 83. As also the 4. and 54. of King IAMES the Fifth with others tending to the like purpose Yea they would make our Kinges Majestie that now is bee involved in periurie by these dispositiones it being expresse against his oath made at his Hienes coronation and inacted amongst the acts of Parliamente The time straites me that I cannot insist longer vpon this head Before I speake of the teindes I come to the finall reason or rather excuse that robbers of the Kirk pretend for them to colour their Sacrilege The landes with the other rents of the kirk say they giuē to it in time of Papistrie ar ouer-large more then sufficient for the necessary vses of the Kirk that now is For as to the Ministers what should they haue but their necessary sustentation with an gray gowne to go vpon their feete Preaching from place to place as the Apostles did They are as ◅eedie as the Papistes with many other like tearms of their reprochfull Rethoricke And why may not the King say they giue these landes to Noble-men Gentle-men and others able to serue his Majestie the teindes being more then sufficiente to susteine all the charges of the Kirke As to the estate of the Ministers it is
more honorably handled then the house of his God And when NATHAN finally resolued by the Oracle of God declared that it should not be he but his Sonne that should buyld an house vnto the Lord He ceased not to prepare all thinges necessarie for that worke in his dayes And to exhort grauely his Son SOLOMON to accomplish the same Declaring how he according to his habilitie had separated for the performing of that buylding an hundreth thousand talents of Gold 1000000. of siluer brasse iron without weight besides wood stone To the which great preparation not thinking it yuough he desired SOLOMON his Nobles to adde more as they did in very deed liberally and magnificently As the holy History beareth record Besides this K. DAVID left of his own money besides that which he had cōquished of his enemies to the ornament of the walles of the Temple and other such vses three thousand talents of gold of Ophir and seuen thousand talents of fined siluer Exhorting the Princes of Israell according to their faculties to follow his ensample Who being instigate by him far vnlike our degenerate Nobilitie gaue freely to the worke of the Lorde 5000. talents of golde and 10000. talents of siluer Of brasse 18000 and of Iron 100000 talents which will amounte to exceeding summes of our money And it may be iudged that King SALOMON doubled more Now if so much was bestowed vppon a materiall Temple building what sūmes thinke yee were employed yeerly for interteinemēt of the Priests Levits who had not onely the teindes of the whole Lande but also the great offrings and first fruits of the increase But if any wil alleage that this Cuntry which we inhabit is poore in respecte of the Lande of Canaan that flowed with milke and hony and therefore may not spare so large provision vpon the Kirkes affaires I would answere and demaund who makes it poore so much as you insatiable pullers away of the rent already giuen to the Kirk to your particular vses provoking thereby the Lorde to withdraw his blessing from the Land which otherwise were able to yeeld sufficient provision both for the Kirk King and common wealth Doth not God say by his Prophet Bring all the teinds in my Thesaurie that there may be meate in my house and proue me now in this sayth the Lorde of Hostes if I shall not make open the Windowes of Heauen and poure downe a blessing vnto you And SOLOMON sayeth Honour the Lord with thy substance and with the firste fruites of all thy increase so shall thy Barnes be filled with abundance and thy presses prest with new wine Is it not a miserable thing and vnworthie to bee heard tell of in anie forrayne Countrie that the Levites of Israell who were in number 38000. aboue twentie yeares of age with their wiues and children and the whole poore of the Lande were so liberallie provided for and interteined sufficiently And nowe amongst vs albeit it were but 600. Ministers to serue the whole Countrie of Scotland sufficiente liues cannot be provided for them yea of them that are planted a greate number were left little better then begging and some notable men left altogether destitute O miserable age and vnhappy dayes that we be fallen into Shall not the Papistes in their blinde zeale ryse vp in judgemente against this vnthankful generation who susteined thousands in their Kirkes Abbaies and Cloisters besides that which they delt to the poore vppon the Kirke-rentes And nowe there be not so much lefte as to susteine a fewe Ministers Colleges and Schooles albeit the poore should be vtterly neglected May it not greatly ashame Christian Princes and others that spoyle and suffer the Kirk of God to be spoyled When as Cyrus Darius and Artaxerxes heathen Princes did bestow liberally to buylde vp the temple again in Ierusalem which NEBVCHADNETZAR had destroyed as the books of Esra and Nehemias beare record And the same Cyrus reverencing the God of heauen of whom he had but little knowledge did sende againe the vessels of golde and silver which NEBVCHADNETZAR had taken to be restored to the temple of God vnder the hand of Zerubbabel Whereto should I insist to recite other examples as of Asa Iehoshaphat Ioas Ezechias and Iosias Kinges of Iuda whose diligēce was very careful in reparaling the house of the Lorde and providing for the Priests Levits in such sort that great heapes were left after that all were fully satisfyed wheranent because shortnes of time cuteth of amplificatiō I remit you to the histories of the books of the kings chronicls wherein also may be found how because these Kings were zealous mainteiners of the true religion holy ministerie God prospered them inal their affairs so long as they perseuered thereinto I might also recite a greate Catalogue of christian Princes who following the example of such anciēt kings doted the Kirk with sufficient patrimonie As the zeale of Constantine others godly Emperours and Kings yea euen of the Kings of our owne Nation who haue bene as our Chronicles and auncient monuments beare record very liberall in this behalfe But I may not rehearse euery particular Onely this I conclude seeing that without Religion and justice no common wealth can stande for these are the two pillers whereby the estate of all well governed cōmon wealths is vp-holden it is greatly to be feared least this our cōmon wealth shal come to great desolatiō decay vnles speedy remedie be found out to stay the inconvenientes and dangers that be at hande For as to Iustice where is it when wrong partiall dealing in judgement and oppression yea not onely Sacrilege but Sorcerie bloodshed adulterie falshood and all other abhominable enormities reigne at such libertie without punishment And as to Religion how can it but decay vnlesse God speedely put to his extraordinarie hande when all ordinary meanes are taken away whereby it should be interteined and Idolatrie and Atheisme already entred in place thereof in many parts of this Land and like to enter further dayly For albeit many Kirks of the Realme lack the Ministrie of the worde there is no meanes left to provide them for all the Kirk rent is exhausted vpon greedie gormandes carelesse of Religion and that would with IVDAS sell Christ or with the godlesse souldiars of PILATE crucifie him for his garments who haue never left off gaping and shamelesly vrging ouer-liberal a Prince till they haue gotten all in their handes Example wee see this day when as the poore Ministers come to that woeful platte or send their Commissioners thinking to haue the Kirkes planted with sufficient Ministers and stipendes they are sent home emptie when they haue wayted long on without all comfort For there is nothing to augment or advance any man to any vacant roome vnlesse one Minister take from another and so be exponed to the mockage of these who haue spoyled the rentes wehereupon they should be susteined when
they see them contending one against another And can the King thinke ye bee in a good case when the estate of the Kirke which was the first in Parliament is so wracked No for if he euer haue warre or other great enterprises ado as it is likely he is shortly to haue he shall lack that to speake worldly which was his principall reliefe and ayde to wit the Thesaurie of the kirk to advance such weightie affaires For as to theÌ„ vpon whom the same is vnworthely bestowed I meane the Kirk-lands and rents they shall fayle him in his greatest neede For it is not his weale nor standing that they haue sought but their owne particular with insatiable greede And now when they haue done the Lord shall so blowe vpon it that they or their aires shalbe no better of it but rather because it is procured with Gods curse it shall wrack the rest of their patrimonie and aunciente houses as experience hath prouen in some of them And as to the Kings Hienesse seeing that his estate euen from his Coronation hes bene so annexed and joyned with the estate of the Kirke and reformed Religion that it hath wel appeared hitherto by experience that the standing of the one hath made the other also to stande it is justly to be feared the Lord auerte it that the ruine and decay of Religion in this Realme if God of his just judgement suffer it may bring exceeding great daunger to his person and royal authoritie yea to the whole common-wealth And the authors of these new erectioÌ„s of the kirk lands inheritable titles to them selues and priuate vses shal be a chiefe cause thereof and that by with-drawing the blessing of God from the Lande and procuring his wrath against the same The Lord remeid these appearing euilles by time Now returning to our Text concluding with the Apostle in the verses following as he most justly rebukes the Iewes who gloryed in the law of God and yet by breaking of the Law by their Sacrilege and other odious crimes dishonored his holy Majestie declaring thereby the light regard they had to that Religion which they outwardly professed so it may be justly layd to the charge of this vnthankfull generation that our outward glorie in his religion shal turne to the vtter confusion of many in this Lande For if it be as it is most true that they who honour GOD hee shall honoure them and they who contemne his worshippe shall bee brought to ignominie and shame Howe can our feined profession worke otherwaies when the Doctrine of Christ his Evangell whereof men wil so babble in their idle talking is so profaned and abused in their daily life and conversation So that the name of that good God who hath so meruelously and mercifully in-lightned this nation aboue others with the knowledge of his vndoubted trueth by our licentious liuing being trod vnderfoot his name is euill spoken of by our occasion amongst the Papistes and other enemies of the trueth as it was amongst the Gentiles by occasion of the euil liues of the Iewes in their captiuitie as the Prophet EZECHIEL here cited by our Apostle doth testifie of them And is it not a most vnworthie thinge that they who haue receiued glorie and honour from God as our vnthankfull Nation haue in granting vs so great light denyed to other mightie Kingdomes of the earth to render againe such gracelesse payment as so to dishonour his holy name The Lord graunt that at least so many as are appoynted for his heauenly kingdome may speedily repent with ZACCHEVS the reste at least be not inferiour to IVDAS who restored that which hee had most sacrilegiously taken in betraying his Maister the Lord Iesus our Saviour To whome with the Father and the Holy Ghost be all honour and prayse for euer FINIS Mal. 3.
