He was justly punished by the law of the like. That as he had divided the holy worshipping in granting part of it to God, and part unto Idols: so was his kingdom divided, and part of it was granted to his son, and part was given unto Jeroboam the Son ⟨image 61⟩of Nebath. But his fault spread abroad into his posterity. For Achas, Manasseh, and many other ungodly kings had wicked and detestable worshippings at Jerusalem. Wherefore they were by the Prophets grievously and sharply reproved.1 And undoubtedly a Magistrate cannot but be blamed, when he nourisheth idolatry, when as he beareth the sword to revenge wicked acts. Wherefore he must either think that idolatry is no wicked act, or that it is by the Magistrate and other to be avenged.2 Augustine often times excellently well entreateth of this place of David: Be wise now therefore O ye Kings, be learned ye that are Judges of the earth, serve the Lord in fear. &c. He saith also, it is mete that kings serve the Lord. Neither entreated David of them, in that respect that they are men: for so are they with other bound to observe common laws.3 Wherefore for so much as they are kings, they are admonished, namely to use the power and sword given them by God, to defend the verity of the true faith, and to put down the ungodly, that the catholic truth and church of the son of God, as far as their dominions extend be not assaulted. Wherefore it is not lawful for Princes to grant unto the ungodly unpure worshippings, yea it is their part, chiefly to urge sound doctrine, ceremonies and rites, which agree with the word of God.
He was iustlye punished by the law of the like. That as he had deuided the holy worshipping in graunting part of it to God, and part vnto Idoles: so was his kingdome deuided, and part of it was graunted to his sonne, and part was geuen vnto Ieroboam the Sonne ⟨image 61⟩of Nebath. But his fault spred abroad into his posterity. For Achas, Manasses, and many other vngodly kinges had wicked and detestable woorshippinges at Ierusalem. Wherfore they were by the Prophetes grieuouslye and sharpelye reproued.
