The Scripture was written to shew unto men the kingdome  of god ; and to prepare their mindes to become his obedient subjects; leaving the world, and the Philosophy thereof, to the disputation of men, for the exercising of their naturall Reason

Of the former sort, were all the Founders of Common-wealths, and the Law-givers of the Gentiles: Of the later sort, were Abraham, Moses, and our Blessed Saviour; by whom have been derived unto us the Lawes of the kingdome  of god

The Designes Of The Authors Of The Religion Of The Heathen And therefore the first Founders, and Legislators of Common-wealths amongst the Gentiles, whose ends were only to keep the people in obedience, and peace, have in all places taken care; First, to imprint in their minds a beliefe, that those precepts which they gave concerning Religion, might not be thought to proceed from their own device, but from the dictates of some god , or other Spirit; or else that they themselves were of a higher nature than mere mortalls, that their Lawes might the more easily be received: So Numa Pompilius pretended to receive the Ceremonies he instituted amongst the Romans, from the Nymph Egeria: and the first King and founder of the kingdome  of Peru, pretended himselfe and his wife to be the children of the Sunne: and Mahomet, to set up his new Religion, pretended to have conferences with the Holy Ghost, in forme of a Dove

And therefore the Romans, that had conquered the greatest part of the then known World, made no scruple of tollerating any Religion whatsoever in the City of Rome it selfe; unlesse it had somthing in it, that could not consist with their Civill Government; nor do we read, that any Religion was there forbidden, but that of the Jewes; who (being the peculiar Kingdome of god ) thought it unlawfull to acknowledge subjection to any mortall King or State whatsoever

The True Religion, And The Lawes Of Gods kingdome  The Same But where god  himselfe, by supernaturall Revelation, planted Religion; there he also made to himselfe a peculiar kingdome ; and gave Lawes, not only of behaviour towards himselfe; but also towards one another; and thereby in the kingdome  of god , the Policy, and lawes Civill, are a part of Religion; and therefore the distinction of Temporall, and Spirituall Domination, hath there no place

The kingdome  of god  is gotten by violence; but what if it could be gotten by unjust violence? were it against Reason so to get it, when it is impossible to receive hurt by it? and if it be not against Reason, it is not against Justice; or else Justice is not to be approved for good

OF THE kingdome  OF god  BY NATURE The Scope Of The Following Chapters That the condition of meer Nature, that is to say, of absolute Liberty, such as is theirs, that neither are Soveraigns, nor Subjects, is Anarchy, and the condition of Warre: That the Praecepts, by which men are guided to avoyd that condition, are the Lawes of Nature: That a Common-wealth, without Soveraign Power, is but a word, without substance, and cannot stand: That Subjects owe to Soveraigns, simple Obedience, in all things, wherein their obedience is not repugnant to the Lawes of god , I have sufficiently proved, in that which I have already written

Subjects therefore in the kingdome  of god , are not Bodies Inanimate, nor creatures Irrationall; because they understand no Precepts as his: Nor Atheists; nor they that believe not that god  has any care of the actions of mankind; because they acknowledge no Word for his, nor have hope of his rewards, or fear of his threatnings

A Twofold kingdome  Of god , Naturall And Prophetique From the difference between the other two kinds of Gods Word, Rationall, and Prophetique, there may be attributed to god , a two-fold kingdome , Naturall, and Prophetique: Naturall, wherein he governeth as many of Mankind as acknowledge his Providence, by the naturall Dictates of Right Reason; And Prophetique, wherein having chosen out one peculiar Nation (the Jewes) for his Subjects, he governed them, and none but them, not onely by naturall Reason, but by Positive Lawes, which he gave them by the mouths of his holy Prophets

And that disputing of Gods nature is contrary to his Honour: For it is supposed, that in this naturall kingdome  of god , there is no other way to know any thing, but by naturall Reason; that is, from the Principles of naturall Science; which are so farre from teaching us any thing of Gods nature, as they cannot teach us our own nature, nor the nature of the smallest creature living

Their Scope And although these Books were written by divers men, yet it is manifest the Writers were all indued with one and the same Spirit, in that they conspire to one and the same end, which is the setting forth of the Rights of the kingdome  of god , the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

For the Book of Genesis, deriveth the Genealogy of Gods people, from the creation of the World, to the going into Egypt: the other four Books of Moses, contain the Election of god  for their King, and the Laws which hee prescribed for their Government: The Books of Joshua, Judges, Ruth, and Samuel, to the time of Saul, describe the acts of Gods people, till the time they cast off Gods yoke, and called for a King, after the manner of their neighbour nations; The rest of the History of the Old Testament, derives the succession of the line of David, to the Captivity, out of which line was to spring the restorer of the kingdome  of god , even our blessed Saviour god  the Son, whose coming was foretold in the Bookes of the Prophets, after whom the Evangelists writt his life, and actions, and his claim to the kingdome , whilst he lived one earth: and lastly, the Acts, and Epistles of the Apostles, declare the coming of god , the Holy Ghost, and the Authority he left with them, and their successors, for the direction of the Jews, and for the invitation of the Gentiles

OF THE SIGNIFICATION IN SCRIPTURE OF kingdome  OF god , OF HOLY, SACRED, AND SACRAMENT Kingdom Of god  Taken By Divines Metaphorically But In The Scriptures Properly The kingdome  of god  in the Writings of Divines, and specially in Sermons, and Treatises of Devotion, is taken most commonly for Eternall Felicity, after this life, in the Highest Heaven, which they also call the kingdome  of Glory; and sometimes for (the earnest of that felicity) Sanctification, which they terme the kingdome  of Grace, but never for the Monarchy, that is to say, the Soveraign Power of god  over any Subjects acquired by their own consent, which is the proper signification of kingdome

To the contrary, I find the kingdome  OF god , to signifie in most places of Scripture, a kingdome  Properly So Named, constituted by the Votes of the People of Israel in peculiar manner; wherein they chose god  for their King by Covenant made with him, upon Gods promising them the possession of the land of Canaan; and but seldom metaphorically; and then it is taken for Dominion Over Sinne; (and only in the New Testament;) because such a Dominion as that, every Subject shall have in the kingdome  of god , and without prejudice to the Soveraign

In which manner he Reigned over Adam, and gave him commandement to abstaine from the tree of cognizance of Good and Evill; which when he obeyed not, but tasting thereof, took upon him to be as god , judging between Good and Evill, not by his Creators commandement, but by his own sense, his punishment was a privation of the estate of Eternall life, wherein god  had at first created him: And afterwards god  punished his posterity, for their vices, all but eight persons, with an universall deluge; And in these eight did consist the then kingdome  Of god

It is therefore manifest enough by this one place, that by the kingdome  of god , is properly meant a Common-wealth, instituted (by the consent of those which were to be subject thereto) for their Civill Government, and the regulating of their behaviour, not onely towards god  their King, but also towards one another in point of justice, and towards other Nations both in peace and warre; which properly was a kingdome , wherein god  was King, and the High priest was to be (after the death of Moses) his sole Viceroy, or Lieutenant

The Kingdome therefore of god , is a reall, not a metaphoricall kingdome ; and so taken, not onely in the Old Testament, but the New; when we say, "For thine is the kingdome , the Power, and Glory," it is to be understood of Gods kingdome , by force of our Covenant, not by the Right of Gods Power; for such a kingdome  god  alwaies hath; so that it were superfluous to say in our prayer, "Thy kingdome  come," unlesse it be meant of the Restauration of that kingdome  of god  by Christ, which by revolt of the Israelites had been interrupted in the election of Saul

Complete text of 61129032:

In short, the kingdome  of god  is a Civill kingdome ; which consisted, first in the obligation of the people of Israel to those Laws, which Moses should bring unto them from Mount Sinai; and which afterwards the High Priest of the time being, should deliver to them from before the Cherubins in the Sanctum Sanctorum; and which kingdome  having been cast off, in the election of Saul, the Prophets foretold, should be restored by Christ; and the Restauration whereof we daily pray for, when we say in the Lords Prayer, "Thy kingdome  come;" and the Right whereof we acknowledge, when we adde, "For thine is the kingdome , the Power, and Glory, for ever and ever, Amen;" and the Proclaiming whereof, was the Preaching of the Apostles; and to which men are prepared, by the Teachers of the Gospel; to embrace which Gospel, (that is to say, to promise obedience to Gods government) is, to bee in the kingdome  of Grace, because god  hath gratis given to such the power to bee the subjects (that is, Children) of god  hereafter, when Christ shall come in Majesty to judge the world, and actually to govern his owne people, which is called the kingdome  of Glory

If the kingdome  of god  (called also the kingdome  of Heaven, from the gloriousnesse, and admirable height of that throne) were not a kingdome  which god  by his Lieutenant, or Vicars, who deliver his Commandements to the people, did exercise on Earth; there would not have been so much contention, and warre, about who it is, by whom god  speaketh to us; neither would many Priests have troubled themselves with Spirituall Jurisdiction, nor any King have denied it them

As for example, after the death of Eleazar and Joshua, the next generation which had not seen the wonders of god , but were left to their own weak reason, not knowing themselves obliged by the Covenant of a Sacerdotall kingdome , regarded no more the Commandement of the Priest, nor any law of Moses, but did every man that which was right in his own eyes; and obeyed in Civill affairs, such men, as from time to time they thought able to deliver them from the neighbour Nations that oppressed them; and consulted not with god  (as they ought to doe,) but with such men, or women, as they guessed to bee Prophets by their Praedictions of things to come; and thought they had an Idol in their Chappel, yet if they had a Levite for their Chaplain, they made account they worshipped the god  of Israel

And therefore so far forth as concerneth the Old Testament, we may conclude, that whosoever had the Soveraignty of the Common-wealth amongst the Jews, the same had also the Supreme Authority in matter of Gods externall worship; and represented Gods Person; that is the person of god  the Father; though he were not called by the name of Father, till such time as he sent into the world his Son Jesus Christ, to redeem mankind from their sins, and bring them into his Everlasting kingdome , to be saved for evermore
