Vers. 14. THou shalt take him from mine Altar. Even the Priest ministring at the Altar, if he had com∣mitted wilfull murther, might be taken from thence, and put to death by the Magistrate, as R. Salomon noteth: wherein appeareth the soveraigne right and power, which then the Civill Magistrate had over the Priests of the law: which Tostatus granteth: but he saith, that herein there was great diffe∣rence betweene the Priests of those times, and of ours, and thereupon he putteth this note in the margen, Nota differentiam inter Sacerdotes veteris Testamenti & nova legis, note a difference betweene the Priests of the old Testament, and of the new law, Tostat. quaest. 16. Contra. 1. But herein is no difference at all, for the Ministers of the Gospell are no more exempted now from the Civill power, than the Priests were then: for the Apostle saith, Let every soule be subject to the higher power, Rom. 13.1. In this generall speech, none are excepted: yea our blessed Saviour, who might have pleaded a greater privilege in this behalfe then any, refused not to pay tribute for avoiding of offence, Matth. 17.27.
