and grace of God towards the humble, to wit, that by that grace they shall be exalted: the time of which exaltation is marked out, that it shall be in due time, _that hee may exalt you in due time_. In the last place by anticipation of a close, but weighty objection, whereby this subjection is usually made very difficult, he shewes the true manner thereof, to wit, that it should be joyned with that confidence, which casts all care upon God, so that no feare or worldly care can hinder this subjection, which confidence he doth perswade them unto by that effectuall providence which God hath over the faithfull for their good, verse 7. at the end, _For he careth for you_. The doctrines arising herehence. Doctrine 1. _There is the like duty of the people towards their Pastors, as there is of the Pastors towards the people._ This is gathered from verse 5 at the beginning. _Likewise ye younger_. Now by the younger in this place is chiefely meant the flock, which depends upon the Pastors, because the Pastors and Presbyters were for the most part chosen of those that were elder in age, and therefore the greatest part of the flock consisted of youngers. Now their duty is said to be like, not for that it is in the same kinde, that the people should guide their Pastors, as the Pastors do guide the people, but because there is the like reason of both their duties. _Reason_ 1. Because the same God and Lord both of Pastors & people, hath imposed and prescribed to both their duties. 2. Because that relation which is betwixt the Pastor and people, requires a mutuall intercourse of duty. 3. Because the Pastors labour and care is made void, if the people do not in some sort answer the same. 4. Because the Pastors care and labour, tending to the salvation of the people, deserves it. _Use._ This may serve to reprove those that are very curious and rigid in exacting their Pastors duty, when in the meane time they are nothing carefull of their own dutie. Doctrine 2. _The duty of people towards their Pastors consists chiefly in subjection._ _Reason_ 1. Because their Pastors are set over them in Gods name. 2. Because faithfull Pastors propound nothing else to themselves to observe, but the will of God, whereunto subjection and obedience must necessarily be yeelded. 3. Because in the calling of their Pastors, they did either expresly or covertly at least promise this very thing. _Vse._ This may serve to reprove those that come unto Sermons, as Judges, to play the Criticks, not to subject themselves to the will of God, and such as cast off all discipline as an intollerable yoke. Doctrine 3. _There is a kind of subjection also due unto all Christians._ This is gathered from these words, _Be yee all subject one to another_. _Reason_ 1. Because as occasion shall serve, we should humble our selves to performe the meanest offices unto our brethren. 2. Because we should submit our selves unto the private admonitions of our brethren.
