In the mean season let us remember, that in the old Law, whensoever the Bishop grew out of order, God raised up sometimes Prophets, sometimes Princes, to reform the church, to redress things that were amiss, and to reedify the decays. For the Prince is keeper of the Law of GOD, and that of both Tables, as well of the first that pertaineth to Religion, as of the second that pertaineth to good order. For he is the Head of the people, not only of the commons and La••y, but also of the Ministers and Clergy. By that authority. Moses being a Magistrate rebuked Aaron the Bishop, for making the golden calf. ⟨image 51⟩Joas being a king, redressed the riot of the Priests, Solomon being King, first builded the temple of God, & put down the high Bishop Abiathar, and set up Sadoc. Afterward, the same Temple being polluted was restored, not by the Bishops, but by the Kings Hezekiah, Josiah, Abias, Jehoshaphat: & at this time after the captivity of Babylon, it was restored, not by the Bishops. but by Zerubbabel the Prince of Judah.
