Further, let us see how the holy Ghost justifies this power of the Magistrate in the times of the Gospel: First, in the Prophesies of the times of the Gospel: Secondly, in divers places in the New Testament.
For Prophesies, the fore-named place, Zech. 13. 3. cannot be put off: Isa. 49. 23. Kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and Queens thy nursing mothers. The protection of their civil peace is not sufficient to give them such a denomination of nursing fathers and mothers.
Isaiah 60. 10. The sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their Kings shall minister unto thee: They shall not only be favourers of them, but as Kings they shall minister to them, even by their power: So Rev. 21. 24. The Kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honour to the Church: there is such a time coming. This surely is more then merely to protect their outward peace.
Esay 60. 10. The sonnes of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their Kings shall minister unto thee: They shall not only be favourers of them, but as Kings they shall minister to them, even by their power: So Rev. 21. 24. The Kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honour to the Church: there is such a time coming. This surely is more then meerly to protect their outward peace.
