Chap. XVII.
Perfect hostes, not mamed nor defectiue, must be offered to God, Idolaters stoned
to death. 8. VVhen inferior iudges differ, the cause must be decided, by
the High Priest in consistorie. Who is warranted not to erre therin, and
al are bound to obey his sentence. 14. The dutie also of a king (whom in
future time God wil condescend to geue them) is described, with special
charge to receiue the law of God at the Priestes handes.
1 Thov shalt not immolate to our Lord thy God a
sheepe, and an oxe, wherein there is blemish, or any
fault: because it is abomination to our Lord thy God.
2 When there shal be found with thee within one of
thy gates, which our Lord thy God shal geue thee,
man or woman that do euil in the sight of our Lord thy God,
and transgresse his couenant,
3 that they goe and serue
strange goddes, and adore them, the sunne and the moone,
and al the hoste of heauen, which thinges I commanded
not:
4 and this is told thee, and hearing it thou hast inquired
diligently, and found it to be true, and the abomination is
committed in Israel:
5 thou shalt bring forth the man and
the woman, that haue committed that most heynous thing,
to the gates of thy citie, and they shal be stoned.
6 At the
mouth of two, or three witnesses shal he perish that is to be
slaine. Let no man be killed, one onlie geuing testimonie against
him.
7 The hand of the witnesses shal be first to kil
him, and the hand of the rest of the people shal be layd on
last: that thou mayest take away the euil out of the middes
of thee.
8 09Q0162If thou perceiue that the iudgement with thee
be hard and doubtful betwen bloud and bloud, cause and
cause, leprosie and not leprosie: and thou see that the wordes
of the iudges within thy gates doe varye: arise, and goe
vp to the place, which our Lord thy God shal choose.
9 And
thou shalt come to the priestes of the Leuitical stocke, and to
note the iudge, that shal be at that time: and thou shalt aske of
them,09Q0163 who shal shew thee the truth of the iudgment.
10 And thou shalt do whatsoeuer they, that are note zpresidentes
of the place, which our Lord shal choose, shal say and
teach thee,
11 according to his law; and thou shalt folow
their sentence: neither shalt thou decline to the right hand
nor to the left hand.
12 But09Q0164 he that shal be proude, refusing
to obey the commandement of the Priest, which at that time

Offices of a King.
ministreth to our Lord thy God, and the decree of the iudge,
that man shal die, and thou shalt take away the euil out of
Israel:
13 and the whole people hearing shal feare, that none
afterward swel in pride.
14 When thou art entred the Land,
which our Lord thy God wil geue thee, and doest possesse
it, and dwellest in it, and sayest: I wil sette a king ouer me, as
al nations haue round about:
15 him shalt thou sette, whom
our Lord thy God shal choose of the number of thy brethren.
A man of an other nation that is not thy brother, thou canst
not make king.
16 And when he is made, he shal not multiplie
to him selfe horses, nor lead backe the people into
Ægypt, taking high courage for the number of his horsemen,
especially whereas our Lord hath commanded you that in no
case you returne any more the same way.
17 He note shal not
haue manie wiues, that may allure his minde, nor huge
weightes of siluer and gold.
18 And after he shal sitte in the
throne of his kingdome, he shal copie to him selfe the
Deuteronomie of this Law in a volume, note taking the copie
of the priestes of the Leuitical tribe,
19 and he shal haue it
with him, and shal reade it al the dayes of his life, that he
may learne to feare our Lord his God, and keepe his wordes
and ceremonies, that are commanded in the law.
20 And that
his hart be not lifted vp into pride ouer his brethren, nor
decline to the right side or the left side, that he may reigne a
long time, and his sonnes ouer Israel.
