But what greater disorder can there be, than that of theirs, who have this day assembled them selves in force and in armour? which have lifted up their sword against their sovereign, and disturbed the peace of this realm, and have misted the people, and sought •o overthrow the Church of God? Let us admonish them, if we may speak with any ⟨p. 199⟩that are so ill disposed, and show them the danger that hangeth over their heads. Let us say to them, thou hast done wickedly in the sight of God: thou hast resisted the ordinance of God, because thou hast resisted the power which he hath ordained: thou hast stricken with the sword, therefore thou shalt perish by the sword: thou hast disquieted the Israel of God, therefore God shall disquiet thee. Such rebels are unruly. They rise up against their Prince, as did Dathan and Abiram against Moses: they advance themselves against God, as did Lucifer, therefore shall they be cast down alive into hell.
