CHAP. VIII.

THE fifth duty of Subiects to be duly and tru∣ly payed and performed to their sacred and dread Soueraignes, is Tribute, which is (as Vipian saith) Neruus reip. The strong sew of the Common-wealth, without which, King, nor Kingdome cannot stand: And therefore our Sa∣uiour first by g 1.1 president paid Tribute, and also by precept, resoluing the Disciples of the Pharises, demanding, whe∣ther it was lawfull to giue Tribute vnto Caesar, or no? told them peremptorily, h 1.2 That they must giue vnto Caesar that which was Caesars: Reddendum est tributum, honor & obedi∣entia in omnibus, quae non pugnant cum verbo Dei, saith Pisca∣tor,

Page 46

vpon that place; Tribute Honour, and Obedience, is to be giuen vnto the Magistrate in all things, not repugnant * 1.3 to the word of God: for this cause (saith i 1.4 Saint Paul) ye pay Tribute, because the King is the Minister of God for thy wealth, applying themselues for the same thing: Cu∣stodit te Princeps (saith k 1.5 Theophylact) ab Hostibus, debes ita∣què ei tributum: The Prince keeps thee safe from enemies, thou doest owe him therefore Tribute; and as he speakes still in that place, Nummum ipsum quem habes ab ipso habes, The money which thou hast, thou hast from him, and ther∣fore, * 1.6 Non date, sed reddite, Not giue, but pay; not a gift, but a debt, which all Subiects owe to him. Non damus sed red∣dimus, quiequid ex officio cuiquam damus, saith Beucer; We doe not giue, but pay that which of duty we owe: Tri∣butes, Subsidies, and Taskes, &c: are not gifts, but debts, which of necessity they must and ought to pay. Hoc Scrip∣turae approbant, hoc leges ciuiles communi gentium omnium consensu recipiunt (saith l 1.7 Hiperius): This doe the Scriptures allow of, (writing there of the payment of Tributes) this doe the Ciuill Lawes, with the common consent of all Na∣tious accept, and approue: Ius pendendi vectigalia apud om∣nes gentes fuit semper receptissimum (saith the same m 1.8 Hipe∣rius) The Law and right of paying Tribute, among all Na∣tions hath euer beene accustomed: for how could Kings maintaine their States, defend their Countries, reward their faithfull seruants, vndergoe so manifold expences, which belong to a regall reckoning, vnlesse their Subiects with Tributes, Taxes, and Subsidies, helpe to sustaine the common charge? And therefore n 1.9 Caluin writes well, that Tributes and Taxes are the lawfull reuenewes of Princes; which serue to maintaine their royalty, and the Common-wealths tranquility: Tributa necessaria sunt reip: sine eis, nec quies, nec arma, haberi possunt, (saith Tacitus) o 1.10 Tributes are so necessary for the Common-wealth, that neither peace, nor warre, nor weapons, can be without them: for warre cannot be maintained without men, nor men without mo∣ney, which is Neruus belli, The sinew of warre; Tributis & vectigalibus nulla resp: aut imperium nedum magnum carere

Page 47

potest, (saith the same p 1.11 Tacitus) No Countrey, or King∣dome, be it neuer so great, can lacke the payment of Tri∣butes, &c. In regnis bene constitutis certum constitutum est, Tributum (saith Herodotus q 1.12) In wel gouerned Kingdomes, there is certaine Tribute to be paid. r 1.13 Augustus Caesar tax∣ed all the World, that is, all the Regions and Prouinces then subiect to the Romaines, (as the learned interpret it); and this was as Caluin notes, Annuum Tributum, * 1.14 sed non quotannis fiebat descriptio; A yeerly Tribute, though not euery yeere put in wrighting: And the Iewes (though at first) they did aegre ferre mentionem discriptionis, Hardly away with this yeerely taxing, Non tamen reluctatos esse pertinaciter, as s 1.15 Iosephus writes, They did not obstinately resist it, but by the perswasion of their High Priest, they suffered themselues to be taxed. Salomon could not haue beene so rich if his people had not payed him Tribute; but the weight of gold t 1.16 they brought to Salomon, in one yeere was sixe hundreth threescore and sixe Talents of Gold. This duty of paying Tribute, Subsidies, and Taxes, &c: by the subiects to the Soueraigne, is by the law of God, and lawes of men, and common customes of most Nations commanded and approued, and that for foure principall causes.

First to maintaine that royall estate which God hath giuen to Kings: the glorious patternes of Kings magnifi∣cence, may be fully seene in royall Salomon: Looke but v∣pon * 1.17 his Throne, 2 Chro. 9. 17, and you may iudge of all the rest of his royalty.

Secondly, To defend the Common-wealth, both in peace and in warre, which requires a great Treasury. A great Bird had need of a great neast: That High Head which cares for all the politicke body, and night and day studies to preserue their welfare, must participate of their wealth, without which the publike peace and security can∣not be effected: for it is, Status insolidus qui earet solidis.

Thirdly To contestate and acknowledge their ho∣mage and subiection to their Soueraigne: for Tributum da∣re, est imperatori subiici, & signum seruitutis, say the Ca∣nonists,

Page 48

nonists, u 1.18, to pay Tribute is to be subiect to the Emperour, and a signe of seruitude, confessing all duty and loyalty to be due, to their annointed Soueraigne, who hath power to command them, their * 1.19 goods, * 1.20 lands, & liues, for the ser∣uice of the Kings and Countries preseruation. Looke vpon the Israelites (when King Saul was dead) comming to e∣lect and annoynt Dauid in Hebron, to be King ouer Israel, * 1.21 Behold we are thy bones and thy flesh, meaning (as I take it) that their liues and all, were at his seruice and com∣mandement: for Tribute is not onely of money, but Sudor & sanguis populi, The sweat and blood of the people, if such need require to defend their King and Countrey, is a Tribute due from them, willing and ready to aduenture their liues and limbes, to giue repulse and resistance to forraine or domesticall violence.

Fourthly, To testifie their gratefull affections to their gracious Princes, in thankefulnesse for the great benefits by their prudent, prouident, and politicke gouernement, reaped and receiued. So Dauid in lamenting Sauls death, remembers the benefits his subiects receiued by him in his life time, x 1.22 Ye Daughters of Israel weepe for Saul, which cloathed you in scarlet with pleasures, and hanged orna∣ments of gold vpon your apparell: So y 1.23 Ieremy of the good King Iosiah, lamenting his death, The breath of our no∣strels, the Annoynted of the Lord, was taken in their nets, of whom we said, Vnder his shadow we shall be preserued among the Heathen. A good King, brings many blessings & benefits vnto his people; and therefore when such as are in authority, be righteous, the people reioyce, saith z 1.24 Salo∣mon. a 1.25 A King by iudgement maintaines the countrey, By a man of vnderstanding and knowledge, a Realme endu∣reth long, saith the same b 1.26 Salomon; yea, (as wise Plato well said) Beatas fore resp: cum aut Philosophentur reges; aut reg∣nent Philosophi: When as Kings were Philosophers, or Philosophers Kings, then such Common-wealths should be happy. And indeed all earthly happinesse which is de∣riued to the members, proceeds from the Head, (next vn∣der God, the primary Author of all good things) by whose

Page 49

direction, discretion, circumspection, care, counsell, and continuall vigilancy, they are preserued in peace, and pros∣per in plenty: for there are sixe externall earthly helpes, ne∣cessary for the temporall prosperity of any Kingdome. 1. A King to rule. 2. A Law to iudge, 3. Pollicy to guide, 4. People to inhabite, 5. Power to defend, 6: Riches to maintaine it, and which is the Alpha and Omega of all, and aboue all, and before all, the Lord and King of all, to pros∣per and preserue all, without whose protection these must come to ruine all. c 1.27 Except the Lord keepe the City, the keeper watcheth but in vaine; Except the Lord gouerne and guide the shippe of State, it runnes vpon the rocke: Therefore Prince and people ought duly to say with the d 1.28 Psalmist; Thou art our King, O God, send helpe vnto Ia∣cob, Through thee haue wee thrust backe our enemies, through thee haue wee trodden downe them that rose vp against vs, &c. Rise vp for our succour, and redeeme vs for * 1.29 thy mercies sake. Well, Tributes, Subsidies, Taxes, &c: are a good meanes to help to support the state of Kingdomes; and as they bee the publike Tribute of the Common-wealths, so should they bee imployed about the publike tranquility. Let no Theudas herein deceiue you, or any Iu∣das of Galile (who in the dayes of the Tribute, drew away much people, as e 1.30 Gamaliel speakes) delude you; for he pe∣rished, and all that obeyed him: Si quis putat non esse vecti∣gal soluendum, aut tributum aut honorem exhibendum, in magno errore labitur, saith f 1.31 Austen; If any one thinke Im∣posts, Tribute, and honour, ought not to be paid to them, he falles into a great errour: Iure debemus, & nisi facimus, peccamus in iustitiae regulam, saith g 1.32 Aretius; We owe them by right, if wee doe not pay them, wee offend against the rule of Iustice: Nay to pay them is so necessary for all, (as the same Aretius there) Nisivelint fortunis, & bonis, adeo{que} ipsa salute spoliari, Vnlesse they would be depriued of their fortunes, wealth, and welfare: Therefore pay it truly, and doe it heartily, as to the Lord, and not vnto men; not grudgingly, as if compelled by necessity, but cheerefully and voluntarily in humble testimony of your hearty fide∣lity,

Page 50

loue, and loyalty. But herein may arise a question; The * 1.33 Laity ought to pay Tribute to their Soueraigne Kings, but whether the Clergy? And the chiefe pillars of Pope∣ry haue already passed their verdict, that they ought not to pay Tribute; and he that was then foreman of the grand Iury, I meane Boniface the 8, came not forth with an Igno∣ramus, but with a Definitiue Decreuimus Decreeing, that no Clergy man should pay tribute: And since a late Iury of Popish Doctors, that haue beene empannelled vpon that case, haue passed their verdicts, that Clergy men are ex∣empted, not onely from Tributes, but also from all trials, or punishments, to be inflicted by secular Courts. So h 1.34 Ba∣ronius in his Paraenesis to the Venetians writes, Senatum venetum contra sacerdotes vel enormissime delinquentes, nul∣lam habere iurisdictionem, quia scriptum est, Tu quis es qui in∣dic as alienum seruum? &c. The Senate of Ʋenice hath no iu∣risdiction against Priests, neuer so fouly offending, be∣cause it is written, What art thou that iudgest another mans seruant? he stands to his Master, or fals; and the Ve∣netians doing contrary, he compares to be Instar monstri, & portenti Luciferi, Like that monstrous portent of pride, Lucifer. Know ye not that we shall iudge the Angels? So Baronius; So i 1.35 Bellarmine, sing the same song, that Church∣men that are borne, and inhabite in soueraigne Princes Countries, are notwithstanding not their Subiects, and cannot be iudged by them, although they may iudge them: And againe, that the obedience, which Churchmen giue to Princes, euen in the meanest and meere temporall * 1.36 things, is not by any necessary subiection, but onely out of discretion, and for obseruation of good order and cu∣stome: These two Cardinals, like Sampson, sweate in the Philistians mill, to grinde to powder the power of Princes ouer the Clergy; thereby the more to aduance the, vsurped might of the Papall Miter. What should I record the pal∣try verdicts of others, who liue vpon Bellarmines & Baro∣nius scraps and fragments, as the Poets did vpon Homers Bason? and will wright and fight, yea

—Iurare in verba Magistri,

Page 51

Sweare to defend the foulest errors of their false Ora∣cles:—
Quos penes arbitrium est, & ius, & norma loquendi.

If Bellarmine and Baronius, the one in controuersies, the other in Histories (men indeed deep, and famous in know∣ledge, if it were sanctified) if they haue once beate their braines about any point, then the Ignatian brood, (a soci∣ety like to k 1.37 Hannibals Army, gathered Ex colluuie omni∣um gentium, Of the drosse, and dregs of euery Nation, will tooth and nayle defend it; as if Chrysippus had bred them, who vsed to boast, l 1.38 That if once he had the opinion, he ne∣uer wanted arguments to defend it. Reade but Mariana de rege & regis instit. lib. 1 c. 10: pag. 88: or Francis. Bozius * 1.39 de temp. Eccl: Monar. lib. 2, c. 1, pag. 264, & 265: or to be briefe, Catechis: Iesuit, lib. 2, c. 26, pag. 235: you shall find how they concurre and conspire like Simeon and Leui, to draw the Clergy out of the yoke of obedience from secu∣lar Powers, to inthrall them to a base bondage to the Pope; & indeed it was a pollicy vsed long ago among the Popes, the better to raise the pontificall Hierarchy by de∣grees, to decree Clericall Immunities from secular Autho∣rities, as we m 1.40 reade in diuers places; Nullus iudicum saecu∣larium Presbyterum, Diaconum, aut Clericum vllum sine per∣missu pontificis condemnare praesumat, &c. Let no Iudge Se∣cular, presume to condemne Priest, Deacon, or Clerke, without leaue of the Bishop; if he doe, let him be seque∣stred from the Church: Donec reatum emendet; Till he hath mended his fault. n 1.41 And againe, Episcopi, Diaconi, & quili∣bet Clerici, siue in criminali siue in ciuili negotio, seculare iudi∣cium non possunt subire: Bishops, Deacons, or any Clerkes, may not vndergoe iudgement; either in any criminall, or ciuill businesse, or proceeding: And so o 1.42 againe, Ecclesiasti∣cis mandatur sub depositionis poena, vt laicis imperatoribus, regibus, principibus, comitibus, &c. Talias, collectas, nec sub adiutorij; mutui, aut subsidij, vel doni nomine, licet promissas soluant: It is commanded Ecclesiasticall men, vnder paine of deposition, or depriuation, that they shall not pay to Lay Emperors, Kings, Princes, or Rulers, Taxes, or Tenths,

Page 52

vnder the name of helpes, lendings, subsidies, or gratuities, although promised. What a cautelous decree is this, as if it were like sacriledge to pay tribute to Kings, as Christ did; or to giue them any thing by way of gratuities, which all may doe without controule? Eugenius I, was one of the * 1.43 first that did Potestatem gladij ciuilis rapere, Snatch into his hands the power of the ciuill Sword, for he decreed, that Episcopi haberent carcerem ad plectenda delicta clericorum; Bishoppes should haue a prison to punish the faults of Clerkes And so Hadrian the first, Ne clerici extra suum fo∣rum in iudicium traherentur; That Clerkes should not be * 1.44 drawne out of their owne Courts. And so * 1.45 Syluester, Lai∣cis clericum in ius vocare interdixit, He interdicted Laycks to call Clerkes into their Courts: So Fabian decreed, Sa∣cerdotes causam dicere & mulctari in sacro, non prophano fo∣ro debere, That Priests ought to pleade their cause, and to * 1.46 be punished in the sacred, not prophane Courts. So Iulius the first, decreed, Ne sacerdos alibi, quam apudiudicem Ec∣clesiasticum dicat; That no Priest should pleade his cause, but before an Ecclesiasticall Iudge. And so many other Popes, Anacletus, Alexander the first, and second; Eusebius, * 1.47 Gregory 7, called Heldebrand, and since him, all haue right∣ly Heldebrandized, arrogating the spirituall and tempo∣rall Sword, as Boniface did, who when p 1.48 Albert the first, sent to him to confirme his election, hee refused, saying; that he was both Emperor and Pope: and so in that pre∣sent Iubile, did shew himselfe, the first day in his Pontificall * 1.49 robes, and the next day in the habite of an Emperour, say∣ing; Behold, here are two swords: and euer since they haue vsed all their skill, plots, and pollicies, to claime a supre∣macy ouer Emperors, Kings, and Princes, not onely in spi∣rituall, but also in temporall matters: Reade but q 1.50 Bozius Booke De temporali Monarch: who there labours to de∣fend, that the supreme temporall iurisdiction belongs to the Pope; so that hee is the vniuersall Monarch of all the World: and that the Emperour holds his Empire of the Church of Rome, and may be called the Popes Vicar, or Officiall, as r 1.51 Iacobatius Writes: Agreeable to the doctrine

Page 53

and propositions of Bellarmine, q 1.52 that Kings are subiects to Popes; s 1.53 and haue degraded Emperors, and thereupon they challenge both swords, and striue to free themselues, and t 1.54 Dragon-like with their taile would draw the third part of the starres from all obedience and allegiance, from the Kings of the earth, denying all suites and seruice, tributes, trials, or secular punishments to be inflicted vp∣on them, exempting all their Cleargy from temporall sub∣iection: Contrary to the Precepts and practise of the Priests and Prophets of the Law, and Christ and his Apo∣stles in the Gospell: yea contrary to the practise of the pu∣rer times, euen in the Church of Rome, when as their Bi∣shops acknowleged their seruice and fealty to Caesars, and paied them tribute.

Episcopi dederunt, tributa potestatiregiae non resistentes, &c. saith u 1.55 Eusebius, The Bishops paid their Tributes, not resisting regall power: yea let their * 1.56 Pope Vrban speake, tribute was found in the mouth of a fish, Peter fishing, Ec∣clesia tributum reddidit, then the Church paid Tribute: yea x 1.57 Tributarium nummum debetis dare, quo vos indicatis obedi∣entiam vestram, You ought to pay tribute mony, by which you ought to declare your obedience. But peraduenture they will alledge King y 1.58 Artaxerxes commission giuen to Esdras, in which it pleased the King to command, that no Tribute or taxe of the Priests, Leuites, holy Singers, Por∣ters, Ministers of the Temple, or workemen of the Tem∣ple should be taken, or any had power to taxe them in any thing; the answere is easie. First, this immunity procee∣ded, ex mera gratia & beneplacito, from the meere fauour and pleasure of the King, the better to incourage them in their worke at Ierusalem. Secondly, they possessed no lands, but liued by oblations and sacrifices; being herein like the Druides among the Frenchmen (who payed no Tribute) as Caesar writes; the reason was, because they had nothing, and where nothing is, the King loses his right. Thirdly, a particular fauour or example makes not a gene∣rall law: Indeed z 1.59 Iustinian the Emperor hath granted to the Cleargy speciall priuiledges, and freed them from mi∣litary

Page 54

or martiall imployments, personall officers, and from many exactions; but all this proceeds ex beneplacito, out of an Emperiall fauour, and royall grace, which all vertuous Kings beare vnto Gods Ministers, non ex praecepto, or praxi; for practise a 1.60 Christ himselfe payed Tribute for himselfe and Peter; and by b 1.61 precept, Giue vnto Caesar that which is Caesars: telling his Disciples, c 1.62 The Lords of the Gentils had dominion ouer them: And S. d 1.63 Paul commands euery soule to be subiect to the higher Powers, to pay Tribute, and to giue Tribute to whom they owe Tribute. To them therefore that challenge immunity from the performance of these publicke debts of tributarie duties to their Liege Lords and Kings, I may say to them as Dioclesian to the Philosopher; Thy profession differs from thy petition, thy profession teaches thee to giue Caesar his due, and not to rob him of his right. Bishop Latimer calls such theeues that rob the King of his due debt, Subsidies, Tributes, or Taxes. Rather imitate that e 1.64 Ambrose the famous Bishop of Millan, who teacheth thee a better lesson: Si tributum petit Imperator, non negamus, agri Ecclesiae soluant tributum; si agros desiderat Imperator, potestatem habet vendicando∣rum, tollat eos si libitum est; Imperatori non dono, sed non nego; If the Emperor demand Tribute, we doe not denie it, your fields of our Church shall pay tribute; If the Emperor de∣mand the fields, he hath power to challenge them, let him take them, I neither giue them nor denie them in no case, arguing obedience in ordinary, or extraordinary exa∣ctions: agreeing fully with Luther, f 1.65 If thy substance, bo∣die, or life should be taken from thee by the Magistrate, thou maist say thus, I doe willingly yeeld them vnto you, and acknowledge you for ruler ouer me, I will obey you, but whether you vse your power and authority well or ill, see you to that: For Kings must one day giue account of all their workes, to the King of Kings; and if they haue a∣bused their power by Tyrannie, crueltie, or any bad go∣uernment, an hard iudgement g 1.66 shall such haue that beare such rule, for then abides the sorer triall, as the Sonne of wisedome speakes; The power is from God, the abuse of

Page 55

it from themselues, and they will finde it, when God and it cals them to reckon. The chaine of gould is not made the worse because an harlot weares it about her necke: it is h 1.67 Luthers comparison in this case; so still Kings must be obeyed, for conscience sake, if not commanding contrary to Gods commandements. Let vs in these follow the steppes of faithfull Fabricius, of whose fidelity Pyrrhus boldly speakes, Difficilius Fabricius a legalitate quam sol a suo cursu vertipossit; Let the Sunne first turne from her course, then we from the course of loyall obedience, and allegiance: alwaies remembring that Christian saying of the Martyr i 1.68 Ignatius, No man euer liued vnpunished, which lifted vp himselfe against his betters, superiours, his Princes; disobedience brings infamie, disgrace, death, yea hatred after death, that the sorrowfull Sonne may say of his treacherous sire, k 1.69 Ye haue troubled me, and made me stinke among the inhabitants of the land, as Iacob said of Simeon and Leui. Let vs alwaies from the bottome of * 1.70 our hearts, pray for the Kings safety, corporally; for his saluation spiritually, and preseruation politically. Let vs * 1.71 obey him because hee is the Lords annointed, appointed by God to be his vicegerent, representing the person on earth, of the King of Kings in heauen: Let vs honor him * 1.72 not with lips onely, but with hearts truelie, because he is the Father of our Countrie, the constant Defender of the Faith, and so worthy of double honour: Let vs be ready * 1.73 to performe at his command our best seruice, being his na∣tiue and naturall Subiects, born and bound by Allegiance to all Christian dueties of subiection:

Let vs be willing to pay Tribute, a publike purse must * 1.74 helpe the publicke peace,

Multorum manibus grande leuatur onus.

Yet let vs pay him his duty: Tribute to him, for we owe him Tribute; Custome to him, for we owe him Custome; Feare, Honor, Obedience Seruice and all other loyall ser∣uices and performances of duties belonging to good sub∣iects in their seuerall degrees and places; humbly to ten∣der them, and render them vnto our gracious and high

Page 56

Soueragine Lord the King, whose Sword, Crowne, Scep∣ter, Throne and Person iustly requires all these duties: the Sword exacts obedience, Crowne commands honor, Scep∣ter seruice, Throne tribute, and Person prayer; alwaies powring forth to God this prayer and petition,

God saue the King:
  • Corporally.
  • Spiritually.
  • Politically.
