Ministers and Magistrates to be diligent in their places. [ 259]
THomas Becket, sometimes Archbishop of Canterbury, an evill man, and in an
evill cause,* 1.1 but with words not impertinent to his place, had he well apply∣ed
them, answered one, who advised him to deal more moderately with the King;
Clavum teneo, & ad somnum me vocas? Sit I at the stren, and would you have me
to sleep? Thus it must be w••th Ministers and Magistrates; the one is not to keep si∣lence,
but to lift up his voice like a Trumpet;* 1.2 the other is not to bear the sword in
vain. And why? because the one steereth the Rudder of the Church, the other sitteth
at the Helm of State; both of them, jure divin••, having their warrants immediately
from God so to do.
