I cannot see any disadvantage or hazard by pleading the general Plea of Not Guilty : If it fall out upon the Proofs that the Crime is only Misprision of Treason , and not the very Crime of Treason , the Iury must then find the Prisoner not guilty of Treason , and cannot upon an Indictment of Treason find the party guilty of Misprision , because he is not Indicted , for the Offence of Misprision , and Treason and Misprision of Treason are Offences that the Law hath distinguished the one from the other , and the one is not included in the other ; and therefore if the Proofs reach no farther then to prove a Misprision , and amount not to Treason , the Prisoner may urge it for himself , and say that the Proofs do not reach to the Crime charged in the Indictment , and if the Truth be so , the Court ought so to direct the Iury , not to find it .

    • summary: X. At the end of the Declaration , as in a Postscript , His Majesty assures his Subjects , that he will maintain them in their Properties , as well in Church and Abbey-Lands , as other Lands : but the Chief of all their Properties being the share that they have by their Representatives in the Legislative Power ; this Declaration , which breaks thro that , is no great Evidence that the rest will be maintained : and to speak plainly , when a Coronation Oath is so little remembred , other Promises must have a proportioned degree of Credit given to them : as for the Abbey Lands , the keeping them from the Church is according to the Principles of that Religion Sacriledge ; and that is a Mortal Sin , and there can no Absolution be given to any who continue in it : and so this Promise being an Obligation to maintain men in a Mortal Sin , is null and void of it self : Church-Lands are also according to the Doctrine of their Canonists , so immediatly Gods Right , that the Pope himself is only the Administrator and Dispencer , but is not the Master of them ; he can indeed make a truck for God , or let them so low , that God shall be an easy Landlord : but he cannot alter Gods Property , nor translate the Right that is in him to Sacrilegious Laymen and Hereticks . And if His Majesty renounces his Pretensions to our Allegeance as founded on the Laws of England ; and betakes himself to this Law of Nature , he will perhaps find the Counsel was a little too rash ; but to make the most of this that can be , the Law of Nations or Nature does indeed allow the Governours of all Societies a Power to serve themselves of every Member of it in the cases of extream Danger ; but no Law of Nature that has been yet heard of will conclude , that if by special Laws , a sort of men have been disabled from all Imployments , that a Prince who at his Coronation Swore to maintain those Laws , may at his pleasure extinguish all these Disabilities .

It will not bee unworthy your consideration , whether seeing the preservation of Popery hath beene by Leagues and Covenants , God may not make a League or Covenant to be the destruction of it ▪ Nay , the very rise of Popery seemeth to be after such a manner by Kings , that is , Kingdomes assenting and agreeing perhaps by some joynt Covenant ( the Text saith , with one minde , why not then with one mouth ? ) to give their power and strength unto the Beast , and make war against the Lamb , Rev. 17. where you read the Lamb shall overcome the Beast , and possibly with the same weapons , he is the Lord of Lords , and King of Kings , he can unite Kings and Kingdomes , and give them one minde also to destroy the Whore and be her utter ruine ; And may not this dayes work be a happy beginning of such a blessed expedition ?

    • summary: LONDON , Printed for Francis Wright . 1642 , Worthy Sir , ACcording to the mutuall correspondence long time held betweene us , understanding by your last expresse of the 20. of October , the old stile of the affairs of England , I found my selfe ingag'd to make you a retribution by acquainting you with the last passages here ; I believe it is not unknowne to you that there has beene open hostility between the King of Denmarke and the State , which yet continuing in full heat and violence ; all the discourse for some weeks past here , has beene of a strange and new appointed Navie , which the said King has beene all this last Summer a rigging in all the considerable ports of the balticke , for what end we certainly could not understand ; the best intelligence from thence , giving information , that it was bound for England , procur'd hither by the solicitation of the malignant party there to assist his Majesty against the Parliament , others affirming , and probably , enough , that it was to infest the Netherlandish Coasts and to make some attempts upon Hilford sluce , the Brill , or some other part of Zeland , being assisted by another fleet of our old and implacable enemies , the Dunkirks , whithersoever it was bound , or for what purpose rais'd , I can not determine , but certaine it is , that about Saint Lukes tide last , according to the English account , there arrived out of the same into Copenhagen , neere an hundred able ships , part Lubeckers , part stoud Merchants , and the rest Danes , which taking in there some twelve or fourteene thousand landsouldiers , besides abundance of amunition , even to supefluity ; under the comand of the Duke of Holstein ; and then joyn'd with the grave Van Erfurt a Germane , the Admirall of Denmark and his fleet of twenty ships ; they put to sea that weeke , keeping along the coast , the State here having daily avisoes from sea of their proceedings , and by their consant and continuall wrestling with military dangers , inur'd to a care of their safeties , they sent an expresse to that famous Van Trump their Admirall ( being with his fleet of threescore saile of good and valiant ships not farre from the coast Zeland ) to intimate the approaching of the Danish Armado , charging him to wait diligently on those unwelcome guests , and so to watch their movings ; that if he saw occasion , hee might bid them to a bloody entertainment ; for whatsoever were their pretentons , or whithersoever they were bound . Van Trump having received that charge quickly hoys'd his sailes , and with a cheerfull and pleasant gale of wind , did run along the coasts of Zeland , Holland and F●●zl●nd , being as farre as the States clame any jurisdiction in those seas , without having any notice of this talk'd-of navie , till the eve before the battell , which was on Munday the last of October Old style he had notice by a light Catch , that scouted out to sea ward , that there was a mighty and stupendious fleet to the number of at least sixscore bottomes , bearing to sea-ward from the coast of Humburg , and that in all probability , if he would make out to sea , he might encounter them ere morning ; Ven Trump exceedingly joyfull at this tiding unamaz'd at the number of their fleet , made toward them , by the directions of that Catch , but the wind at evening being something scant , and not sufficient to trim the sailes of his greater ships , his Admirall and some other of his fleet , being vessells of twelve hundred and a thousand tun was forc'd to laver about , till in the night the wind comming about , and blowing a stiffe gale in his sterne , he spoond before the waves , and by that it was cleare day light , ours had a view of the Danish Armado , who fail'd on , as if they had notice , intended to fall over for the North coast of England , then to trouble the Coast of Holland .

King Charles the First had the same in the several Expeditions for the Relief of Rochel , and that fatal Descent upon the Isle of Rhe , and in his Expeditions into Scotland ; and they would do well to reconcile their Discourse to it self , who say in one place , If King Charles had had Five thousand Men , the Nation had never struct one stroak for their Liberties ; and in another , That the Parliament were like to have been petitioned out of doors by an Army a hundred and fifty Miles off , tho there was a Scotch Army at the Heels of them : for to me it appears that King Charles the First had an Army then , and would have kept it , but that he had not the Purse to pay them , of which more may be said hereafter .

     • summary: Now it is too absurd to say or imagine that the ordinarie and juditiall proceedings in the Chancery by the Kings owne Authority , in cases before remembred can be in prejudice or disherision of the King or his Crowne or destruction of the Common Law ; or that the Parliament did so meant or understand , sithe they have designed the Chancery to bee a speciall or prime Court to punish offenders against the said Statute . Concerning Iudgements given in the Kings Court in these pleas and cases , and in translating of Prelates &c. and in other cases attempted against the Kings Crowne and Regality ; But it is manifest , that the intent and the scope and drift of the Parliament was onely against the Pope and Court of Rome , and against those persons , that persue any such Translations , processe , &c. or other things , which touch the King , or against his Crown , or Regality or his Realme as is aforesaid , and which being , notifie or execute the same within the Realme or without , these be offenders , which the Parliament had cause , and meant to punish ; and it is strange and improbable that any learned Iudge of the Common Laws of England , should stretch or extend the words of this Statute further , then only against the usurped authority of the Pope , and Church of Rome ;

In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Another Vessell was bought by his Highnesse , in which Captaine Grace was againe set out , and pursuing a French-man in open Sea , the French-man fled to a Parliament Ship which protected him , whereupon Captaine Grace was forced to desist , and sayled towards Poole , ( where lying at Anchor to take in ballast , ) by Order from the Governour of Poole , he was seased upon by a Ship of the Parliament , commanded by Captaine Cartridge who brought him into Poole , where the Governour kept the Ship for divers moneths , and imprisoned the Captaine and his men without any ground at all , but upon cavill against his Commission ; and upon sinister informations caused the Captaine to be sent up to London Prisoner , by Order from the Committee of the Admiralty .

     • summary: Represent in part the dreadful misery , in their being turn'd over so many Hundred times , to the Loss of their Pay , in their dreadful waiting , till they meet with those fatal plagues of the Seamen , the Ticket Extortioners , who have swallowed up a great deal of their pay at half Loss , to the shame of the very Name of Common Moral Heathen Honesty , and which will certainly cry for Vengeance , if those oppressed be not relieved ; for by this turning men over , as I said , so many Hundred Thousand times , it causeth many Hundred Thousand of Extraordinary Troubles in their waiting ; and many poor and wretched Seamen have been removed into three or four Ships in six or eight months time ; and it often falls out , that one of those payments due , if it be but for thirty or forty shillings , is paid part one year , and part another ; so that if their poor Wives , or Relations , wait a year or two , as they oft times do , for the first payment , then they are liable to wait another year for the second part of the said thirty or forty shillings due at the same time to the Seamen in the said Ship , as the King's Books will make appear ; only it may be Twenty Shillings before April , and Ten Shillings after ; or it may be Fifteen Shillings before Michaelmas , and Sixteen Shillings after ; and it is so managed , that the Ships having not any set days appointed to pay such a Ship , ( as sometimes it falls out ) they expect a Ship will be paid next week , and perhaps it is a month ; or next day , and it is a Week or Fortnight , and all these help to plague and torment the poor Ruined Seamens Families , who in Five Hundred Thousand Turnings over , may be forced to wait , suppose but Ten Days for each payment , is Five Millions of Trouble ; which would be saved , if the Seamen were , as formerly , kept to their Ships a Year or two , and then paid . He saith , That the Colliers give 7 or 8 l. a man for Seamen , by Reason of the Press ; which before they did use to have for 30 s , and likewise do sometimes give 30 or 40 s , a man for men to bring them up the River ; and if so , then I suppose I may modestly Judge , that the Collier-Trade , and Coasting Trade of England , is at much more than an Hundred Thousand Pound the Year extraordinary Charge , because of the Press .

     • summary: The Authorities are taken out of the Parlament Rolls , which declare it throughout from the beginning to the end , both in the ancient Records , and in the Modern Journal Books ; They all speak the House of Peers , that is King and Lords , to be the sole Judges both of Persons and Things , Criminal and Civil , and the House of Commons to have no part in it at all . It would be but Labour lost , to heap up more Proofs , and more Presidents for the asserting and maintaining of the Judicature of the House of Peers ; Yet I shall add one more , which is in truth Instar omnium , for it is a Law having the Concurrence of King , Lords , and Commons , not a Constituting-Law , but a Declaratory-Law , ( which is the strongest asserting and confirmation of any Law or Custome already established , that can be ) .

     • summary: This makes me doubt if the Clergy was of another mind in Richard the Seconds time , and if they could not have been well enough contented to have continued sitting as Judges in all Cases , if the Canon Law had not debarred them , but that being they would make that Protestation , consisting , as I say , of those two parts , both which being so approved of by the Parliament , and there enrolled , became then , and so continue to be , the Law of the Kingdom : For in those times all Laws were so made : Only the substance of the Law was agreed upon in Parliament by King , Lords , and Commons , and entred in the Journal Book ; And the Kings Justices did afterwards draw it up into form , and then publish it to be the known standing Law of the Kingdom . Then for the Common Law , you have Finch in his Book of Law dedicated to King Iames , the first Chapter of the second Book , p. 21. who saith the very same thing in very plain terms : His words are these , Lassemblie de ceux trois Estates c ' est assavoir , Roy , Nobilitie , & Commons , qui sont le Corps del Realme , est appel une Parlement , & lour decree un Act de Parlement , car sans touts troys ( come si soit fait per Roy & Seigniors , mes rien parle del Commons ) nest ascun Act de Parlement , The Assembly of the Three Estates , that is to say , King , Nobles , and Commons , who are the Body of the Realm , is called a Parliament , and their Decree is an Act of Parliament , for without all three ( as if it were done by the King and Lords , and no mention of the Commons ) it is no Act of Parliament .

     • flesch: 40
     • summary: And for their Antiquity , it is very apparent that the number of Clerks or Attorneys of that Court was in old times uncertain , sometimes more , sometimes less , as the business of the Court required : for in Edward the First●s time they were Six ; afterwards they were reduced to Three : and in Richard the Second's time they were increased to Six again , in which number they found the means to continue ; and at first did the business of the Court and Client , and officiated as Registers and Examiners , and sometimes made Motions in Court ; but for above an hundred years past have ceased to act as Attorneys , and onely acted as Prothonotaries in other Courts , being an oppression both to the People and over their Clerks , who have ever since performed the Office of Attorneys , and done the business of the Court , and Clients who retained , imployed , and trusted them , and not the Six Clerks . Thus I hope it is apparent their removal is no injustice , and that the increase of the number of Attorneys is a benefit to the Common-wealth ; and there is no doubt but if the Ordinance , as to the Officers , Clerks , and Attorneys of the Court , were put more strictly and duly in execution , it would be of admirable benefit to all Suitors , and those that are sued in that Court ; for the tediousness of Suits is by the Ordinance very well provided against , as also divers Writs , as Subpoena's to make a better answer , and to rejoyn , are taken away ; as likewise whereas before , when Witnesses were examined in Court , or by Commission ex parte it was ordinarily two or three Termes before publication could passe , now it is provided in the Ordinance to pass in a Week .

     • summary: ALthough it may happily be contrary to the Expectation of some , that J attend not the service of the House of Commons at this time , as J have constantly done for almost seven yeares last past ; yet can it not be reasonably expected by any that will consider the violence offered to both the Houses of Parliament , and to my selfe in particular the last monday , July 26. Insomuch that J can safely take it upon my conscience , and so J doubt not may all the Members of both Houses also , that they sat in continuall feare of their lives , and by terrour thereof were compelled to passe such Votes as it pleased an unruly multitude to inforce upon them ; which as J did then openly declare in the House , so J cannot but believe that they are all void and Nul , being extorted by force and violence , and in that manner that they were : And J cannot any longer dispence with my selfe to be an instrument in passing such Votes , and to give any colour or shadow of Parliamentary authority unto them , which were not the Votes of the representative body of the Kingdome ; but of a tumultuous multitude , as those must needs be accounted that seemed to passe the House on Monday July 26. and which shall passe hereafter untill better provision be made for the safe and free sitting of the Houses of Parliament ; there being no effectuall course taken by the City since the adiournment of the House , to prevent the like tumults for the future no nor so much as a Declaration from them , to shew their dislike thereof : but on the contrary , it was generally voiced in the Towne , that there would be a farre greater confluence of Apprentizes , Reformado's , and others by Friday at the Parliament dores ; and particular notice was given to me , that after they had made the House Vote what they pleased , they would destroy me : J had likewise information given me that there would be a great number of Apprentizes of a contrary opinion and affection to the other , about the Parliament dores on Friday morning , which J foresaw must ▪ of necessity cause a great combustion , and in probability occasion much bloud-shed .

     • summary: yet , it hath not to this day , been further recognosced , even in the Channel , ( it 's principal seat and subject , and where it hath alwayes affected it's maine Parad : for as to the other brittish seas , which are onely , the neerest circumambient parts of the wide Ocean , the Law of nations doth onely attribut to England its common priviledge ) then by the bare ceremony of the first salute ; neither in the last Treaty , wherein the King of England was greatly concerned , and no lesse solicitous to cleare this title , was there any thing else agreed unto , as I have already marked ; and without all peradventure , if his Majesty in the conceit of his dominion , should once offer to exert it , though but in very ordinary effects , such as the assuming of jurisdiction , or imposing of tribute , whereof the Sound and Adriatick do exhibit cleare precedents ; he would soone be made to understand his error , not onely by the reclaming dissent , but also , by the vigourous opposition of all his neighbours : I might insist to disprove this pretense of an indefinit dominion , from the far more rational judgement , of the ancient Romans , who not only reckoned the sea with the air , Inter ea quae sunt nullius ; but , though by reason of the encircling of their vast Empire , they might have acclaimed , even the whole Mediterranean Sea , jure diverticuli , & in many parts thereof , had indeed several powers , and priviledges ; yet , were they so far from captating this vaine and groundlesse title , that one of the greatest Emperours , begins a rescript , with relation to this same subject , in these words , Ego quidem munai dominus , lex vero maris : thereby manifestly holding forth , that , as he judged it incapable of dominion , so it 's unstable nature , and common destination , could only be regulat , as to humane concernes , in so far , as Law , and consequently , condition or consent , did determine : from all which , I conclude , that as the Dutch , doe fully satisfie , all that in justice , the King of England can demand , by their offering to strike , conforme to the last Treatie , and have good reason to repugne , either to his indefinit soveraignity , or any further preheminence , for which nothing anterior to the said last Treaty , can in reason be obtruded ; so , his pressing them further , in this affair , is , both captious , and unjust , and he might upon as good grounds , refuse them the liberty , of a free passage in the channel , as exspect of them a consent , to adominion , which if not cautioned , by a particular explication , might assuredly be thereto extended . And here lyes the great discovery , the right of the Flage is all , that is drectly pretended ; but , dominion of the narrow seas , under the colour of a sophistical equipollency , is the thing mainely intended : I shall not repeat what I have above adduced , for distinguishing , this prerogative , from the dominion aimed at , and explicating this whole matter ; but as his Majesties covert insinuation , doth aboundantly verify , even his own diffidence , of his absurd and insupportable claime ; so , if we go about , thus to renverse nature , and subvert humane liberty , the Dutch are the first ; but neither the greatest , nor the last enemy , which we are to apprehend : As to the license to fish , here instanced ; since I cannot set down what is truth , in matter of fact , considering the confidence , wherewith it is asserted , without a reflexion , which I by choice forbeare , I leave that to the Stats their vindication : But , suppose it had been sought , and graunted , within that space of distance , from our coast , which the positive law of nations , and consent of mankinde , hath in a manner every where appropriat , to the countreyes respectively adjacent , it signifieth nothing to his Majestie 's purpose : What is then the Dutch their ingratitude , and insolence , that provoks his Majesty , to an exclamation ? let all men judge : It 's said , they owe their being and wealth to our protection and valour :

But the Serjeant having then further in commandment from those of the Nether House , charged the said Sheriffs to appear personally on the morrow by eight of the Clock , before the Speaker in the Nether House , and to bring thither the Clerks of the Compter , and such other of their Officers as were parties to the said affray ; and in like manner to take into his custody the said White , which wittingly procured the said Arrest , in contempt of the Priviledge of the Parliament .

Institutes , ch. 1.2 . and by Mr. St. John in his Argument at Law at the attainder of the Earl of Strafford , both published by the late Commons House Order ; which I desire all who are thus imployed , to consider , especially such Commissioners who take upon them to administer a new unlawful Ex Officio Oath to any to survey their Neighbours and their own estates in every parish and return the true values thereof to them upon the new prov'd rate for the 3 last months contribution , and to fine those who refuse to do it ( a meer diabolical invention to multiply perjuries to damne mens souls invented by Cardinal Woolsy , much inveighed against by Father Latymer in his Sermons , condemned by the expresse words of the Petition of Right providing against such Oahes ; and a snare to enthrall the wealthier sort of people by discovering their estates to subject them to what future Taxes they think fit ) when as the whole House of Commons in no age had any power to administer an Oath in any case whatsoever , much less then to conferr any authority on others to give such illegal Oathes , and fine those who refuse them , the highest kinde of Arbitrary Tyranny both over mens Consciences , Properties , Liberties ; to which those who voluntarily submit deserve not only the name of Traytors to their Country , but to be m boared through the ear , and they and their posterities to be made Slaves for ever to these new Tax-masters and their Successors ; and those who are any ways active in imposing or administring such Oathes , and levying illegal Taxes by distress or otherwise , may and will undoubtedly smart for it at last ; not only by Actions of Trespasse , false imprisonment Accompt &c. brought against them at the Common Law , when there wil be no Committee of Indemnity to protect them from such suits , but likewise by inditements of High Treason , to the deserved loss of their Estates , Lives , and ruin of their families when there will be no Parliament of purged Commoners , nor Army to secure , nor legal plea to acquit them from the guilt and punishment of Traytors both to their King and Country ; pretended present sordid fears of loss of Liberty , Estate , or the like being no n excuse in such a case and time , as this , but an higher aggravation of their crime : the o FEARFUL being the first in that dismall List of Malefactors who shall have part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone , which is the second death ; even by Christs own sentence . BEing on the 7 of this instant June 1649 informed by the Assessors of the Parish of Swainswicke , that I was assessed at 2 l. 5 s. for three months Contribution , by vertue of a ( pretended ) , Act of the Commons assembled in Parliament , bearing date the 7 of April last , assessing the Kingdom at ninty thousand-pounds monthly , beginning from the 25 of March last , and continuing for six months next ensuing , towards the maintenance of the forces to be continued in England and Ireland , and the paying of such as are thought fit to be disbanded , that so Free-quarter may be taken off ; whereof 3075 l. 17 s. 1 d. ob . is monthly imposed on the County , and 2 l. 5 s. 3 d. on the small poor Parish where I live ; and being since on the 15 of June required to pay in 2 l. 5 s. for my proportion : I returned the Collector this Answer , That I could neither in Conscience , Law , nor Prudence in the least measure submit to the voluntary payment of this illegall Tax , and unreasonable Contribution , ( after all my unrepaired losses and sufferings for the publick Liberty ) amounting to six times more then Ship-money , ( the times considered ) or any other illegall Tax of the late beheaded King , so much declaimed against in our three last Parliaments by some of those who imposed this .

     • summary: Machiavell had never past for a wise man , had not all his subtill grounds tended to the pursuing of that advantage of KINGS , which consists in the peoples disadvantage ; and yet nothing can be more contrary to wisdome , or more repugnant to the Principles of solid Policie , then this very doctrine ; and without doubt , no wise man will seek to excuse him of sottish folly , but by accusing him of pernitious flattery ; for if he did not wilfully betray PRINCES , as perhaps Rehoboams Councellors did , surely he did but publish to the world , the sickly conceptions of his own narrow heart . But it remaines now in the last place that we suppose some doubt to be in the case , or some mixture of injustice in some circumstances : as that , though the King incline not at all to Popery himselfe , yet he has favoured ▪ and enabled Papists too farre to do mischiefe ; and though he cannot with safety cast himselfe wholly upon the fidelity of the Parliament : yet he has no cause utterly to reject their consent , and approbation in the filling up of all places of publike power and trust as the emergent necessity of the times now is , nor to persist in this all-consuming war , rather then to condescend to an Accommodation of that nature ; if we lay down but this for supposed , we must needs conclude that the King ha's not punctually and duly discharged his Office , so as that he can clearly acquit , and absolve himselfe before God of this lamentable effusion of Christian blood : For there must not onely be a perspicuous justice in the Cause , but an absolute necessity of the war , when kings take up the sword against such a considerable number of their Subjects as our King now fights against .

     • summary: But yet we must not think it will defend us , if we only keep it by us to look on ; there never was any Souldier so foolish as to think himself secure in a Battle because he hath excellent armour at home locked up in his chest , or closet , and yet so besotted are many men , as to expect defence and security from their Religion because they are baptized Christians , and have a Scheme of Christianity in their Bibles : as if Religion were nothing but a Charm or Amulet , which being hung about their necks , must immediately disinchant them of all their maladies : but be not mistaken , if ever you mean this armour of God should do you good , you must put it on , you must transcribe its Doctrines into your belief , and its duties into your practice : which is the second thing I proposed to discourse of , that if we would have Christianity armour of defence unto us , we must put it on , that is , we must believe and obey it ; for unless we believe the Doctrines of Christianity , how can they defend us , either from sin , or misery ; for our holy Religion doth not work magically upon men , nor make them invulnerable , as the Witch did Achilles , meerly by Charms and Inchantments ; but it proceeds by rational and accountable Methods and fortifieth our minds by Reason and Arguments ; but no Proposals of Reason can work upon the minds of men that do not believe them ; and though the things proposed be never so true in themselves , yet unless we assent to the truth of them , we shall be no more concerned in them , than if they were the grossest fictions . There is no Article of the Christian faith but is a copious Topick of motives to Virtue ; and if men would but take the pains to extract from each their proper and just inferences , and to ponder those great obligations to gratitude , and duty which the several Articles of their Religion do devolve upon them , Christianity must necessarily do wonders in the world , and work strange alterations in the lives and manners of Christians ; for there is no stone that it leaveth unturned , nothing within us that is capable of perswasion , but it addresseth to , to win upon our hope ; it proposeth to us a happiness so extensive , that we can neither desire , nor imagine beyond it ; a happiness that is equal to the utmost capacities of our natures , and parrallel to the longest duration of our beings , that hath not the least tang of misery in it , no bitter farewel nor appendant sting to it , but is all quintessence composed of the purest extracts of joy and pleasure , what greater motive can be urged to disswade us from sinning , than the hope of such a happiness as doth so infinitely out-bid all that vice can proffer us , and is weighty enough to preponderate all its temptations , though all the world were in the counterballance : but if we are so wedded to our lusts that no hope of advantage will disingage us from them ; Christianity thunders against them all the dreadful threats that are capable of scaring us into sober purposes ; it denounceth unquenchable fire , and eternal vengeance against all unrighteousness and ungodliness of men , and allarms our fears with all the inconceivable horrors that an everlasting hel menaceth ; and that this may not scare us only from open prophaness into close and secret hypocrisie , it assureth us that there will be a day of fearful account , and wherein all that we acted behind the Curtain , shall be brought into publike view , upon an open Theater , and proclaimed to all the world by the Trumpet of God , and the voice of an Archangel ; and that we may be assured that these terrors of the Lord are not meer bugs , and scare crows , it giveth us a fearful example of Gods severity against sin , in the death and sufferings of his own Son , wherein he hath proclaimed himself an implacable enemy to vice , in that he would not pardon it without the blood of the most beloved darling of his Soul ; and certainly he that after this assurance of Gods severity against sin , can dare to be wicked , is a most valiant and couragious sinner ; and if after he hath confronted the Tribunal of God , and out-saced the the flames of Hel , he can laugh at this fearful example of the Divine severity , he is fit for a Reserve , or a forlorn-hope , and may boldly venture to be wicked through all the terrors in the world : but if men should be so senselesly wicked as not to be perswaded either by hope or fear , yet perhaps ingenuity may prevail ; which that it may , Christianity presseth us with the most endearing motives in the world , it sets before us the infinite obligations which God hath laid upon us , in bestowing upon us our beings , in surrounding us with his careful Providence , but above all in giving his Son to die for us ; and to infer this last , it representeth our most kind and merciful Redeemer groaning under the cruelty of our sins ; it bringeth forth his bloody garments , as Anthony did those of the murdred Caesar , and spreadeth them before our eyes , and in the most passionate manner , accuseth our sins for being his Assassines and murderers , and we find in our hearts to hug his Executioners , to harbour the ●●aitors that slew our Friend , our Friend that loved us a thousand times better than we love our selves :

     • summary: For when men have been trained up in excess and voluptuousness , and their minds are contempered and naturalized to it , the least hardship or difficulty will be terrible to them ; so that if ever they should be forced out of the Lap of Pleasure into the Lists of War , ill Quarters and a hard March will kill them without a Battel , and the least sense of pain , or appearance of danger will presently strike their spirits and air , and turn all their bloud into a trembling jelly . IV. Another cause which very much contributes to the making men couragious , is their having a hopeful prospect of being well seconded ; for when a man apprehends that he is left all alone in the midst of danger , or that he must encounter it with unequal Forces , that he is not back'd with sufficient Auxiliaries , or that the advantage of Strength and Power lies on the other side , it must needs be a mighty allay to his courage .

     • summary: He humbly conceived the Liturgie was not so sacred , being made by Men the other day ; and thought to be more differing from the dissenting Protestants , and less easy to be complyd with , upon the advantage of a pretense well known unto us all , of making alterations as might the better unite us ; in stead whereof , there is scarce one altera●ion , but widens the breach , and no ordination allow●d by it here , ( as it now stands last reformed in the Act of Vniformity ) but what is Episcopall ; in so much that a Popish Priest is capable , when converted , of any Church preferment without Reordination ; but no Protestant Minister not Episcopally ordain'd , but is required to be reordain'd , as much as in us lies unchurching all the forreign Protestants , that have not Bishops , though the contrary was both allow●d , and practis'd from the beginning of the Reformation till the time of that Act , and several Bishops made of such , as were never ordain'd Priests by Bishops . It was first hatch't ( as almost all the Mischiefs of the World have hitherto been ) amongst the Great Church Men , and is a Project of several Years standing , but found not Ministers bold enough to go through with it , un●il these new ones , who wanting a better Bottom to support them , be●ook themselves wholly to this , which is no small Undertaking if you consider it in its whole Extent .

Yet how future Princes may use this power , and how Judges may be made , not men of Ability or Integrity , men of Relation and dependance , who will do what they are commanded , and all mens Causes come to be judged and Estates disposed of as great men at Court please , is to be considered .

     • summary: It is certain , that Parliamentary matters were never settled otherwise than by Act of Parliament , as appears by several (d) Statutes in such Cases made , and we also find the priviledge of sending Members to Parliament , given to several places by (e) Act of Parliament , which had been unnecessary , could the King alone have granted it by any other Method . All this may be remedied by an Act , which should give one and the same new Title to all the Electing Burroughs in England and Wales , by which alone , they should all for the future , claim to send Members to Parliament ; thereby settling the Electing power in such persons , ( whether they be a select Number , or the whole Populace , ) as in prudence should be thought most convenient .

     • summary: And besides all these , the very priviledge of the Members , and of those they protect in a Parliament of so long duration , is a pressure that the Nation cannot well support it self under ; So many thousand Suits of Law stopt , so vast a Sum of Money withheld from the right owners , so great a quantity of Land unjustly possessed , and in many Cases the length of time securing the possession , and creating a Title ; And 't is an Observation not unworthy the making , that all this extent of Priviledge beyond its due bounds has first risen from the Members of the House of Commons ; That House to this day pretends to forty days priviledge before and after Parliament , the House of Lords but twenty , and yet the priviledge of Parliament is the same to both : and if the House of Commons obtain their forty days to become Law and Custom , the Lords will certainly enjoy the same priviledge ; Before , it was several times agreed by all the Judges , and observed as the Law , That a Member and his Servants , were exempted onely from Arrests and Outwlaries , but might be impleaded , sued , and Attached by his Land and Goods ; yet now they must not be sued in any Case , nor dispossessed of any thing during the time of Priviledge ; nay , these two last Sessions the Priviledg must extend to exempt them even from the Judicature of Parliament it self : As also before the same King's Reign the House of Commons never thought of Judicature , as being in the nature of their Constitution uncapable of it ; But since they are not only become Judges of their own Priviledges , condemning and imprisoning their fellow - Subjects at pleasure , and without an Oath , and also Judges of all Elections , by which very often they , and not the places , chuse their fellow-members : But now 't is come to that , that the House of Commons pass sentence on the Lords proceedings , make new crimes , and add Preinstruments to them by their own Authority ; If you will ask the reason of this change , 't is plain that Parliaments began in Hen.

     • summary: Neglecting this , and having the Persons of Men in Honor , they readily imbraced their Opinions ; and changing the name of Christians , took up that of the Fathers of their Sects , as of Arians , &c. These Divisions and Factions , and the consequent Bloody Wars woud perswade us , that Christ came not indeed , to send peace on Earth , but a Sword ; for , these Ring-leaders imposed upon the credulous Multitude , that al those superinduced new Fangles , Diabolical Inventions , unreasonable Whimsies , and childish Fopperies were the great Pillars and Truths of Religion ; and therefore , to be contended for unto Death ; While in the mean time , they themselves were conscious , that they disputed not for Truth , but Victory , for the sensual Gratifications of Ambition and vain glory , of pride and Interest : and , if you wil but give your self leisure to look into the Controversies of former Heretics , or into those of later date , between the Reformed , and the Church of Rome , &c. you wil find them al on one and the same bottom . I see not therefore , why the Clergy shoud be wholly heark'nd to in this Affair , since 't is really impertinent to the Truth of Religion ; and I dare appeal to all the sober understanding and considerative Men of the Church of England , Whether the Opposition of this be not wholy founded upon Interest , which being but of particular Men , ought not nor wil not ( I hope ) weigh more with the Parliament , than that of the Public , which is so highly concern'd in this matter .

So that Humility is the Way to come into true Unity , where there is nothing Remaines , but Love out of a pure Heart , that seeks not to be Exalted , but still to be Humbled ; And in this Path the Love and Life of God hath a Free Course in Every Particular , and Meets in the Unity ▪ and Embraces each other , where the Innocent Life hath its Rejoycing , and in true Love and Tenderness reacheth to its own in each Vessel , and in this State there is true Satisfaction and Contentment ; And a great Carefulness there is , lest the sweet Savour of it should be at any time Lost ; And it is of a Bearing and Long-suffering Nature , and in the Humility keeps in the Feeling , and Possesses its Portion , and it hath Enough as it Partakes of the Love in the Unity ; And it strives not after the Enjoyment of any thing , but Waits to keep in the taste of the sweet Savour of the Life ; it Covets not to be Rich , that thereby it might be Exalted , but keeps down in the Poverty , and in the Humility Inherits Life and Immortality ; And it Travels in Lowness and Plainness for Preserving in Love and Peace ; It seeks not after Worldly Glory , for of the World it is not , but the Power of an Endless Life it is ; and in many hath the Lord God Revealed it , who therein Feel his Presence and Peace , his Love and Grace , and are Partakers of it through his own good Will ; and his Love is Felt , wherewith he Loves his own , and there is a Watchfulness to abide therein ; So that he Reveals it more and more according to his own Pleasure , whereby the Innocency is strengthened , and the Glory of its holy Life spreads in the Vessel , and so a Death comes upon Self , with all its Glory , and a New Life in the Seed is Felt , which lives to Gods Glory ; and when at any time the Love is not Felt , nor the Refreshings of it ▪ Tasted , then doth the Babe sit in the Lowness , and wait in the Patience , until the Spring Opens in its own Freeness , and when it Opens none can Shut , as when it Shuts none can Open , and when it Opens it fils with Love , and mightily goes forth to Heal , and Bind up in Unity ; And though in the Innocent Life Unity cannot be broken , yet who are not born of it , have not Unity with it , nor with such as are truly of it ; But something would be Exalting out of the Humility which God doth not give Grace unto ;

     • summary: To conclude this matter ; whether the Acts of Parlament which contain this declaration of the Peerage of Bishops , and their Iurisdiction in Cases of Treason , were sufficiently repeal'd or not ; this solemn Assertion of it in two several Parlaments , together with the Petition of the Commons mentioned before , are a most clear evidence , that in the general Opinion of the King , Lords , and Commons , this Iurisdiction did of right belong to the Bishops . For if the Protestation 's being allowed by King , Lords and Commons , make it ( as the Authour of the Letter affirms ) a perfect and compleat Law , then their Right to be present in all Debates of Parlament is a Law ; and so much the more considerable , because it is no enacting Law , making that to be so , which was not before , but declarative of what was confessed to be their undoubted Right by King , Lords and Commons .

I shall therefore confine my present thoughts only to one particular Head , which yet , in my opinion , seems to involve in it the inevitable Fate of England , which wholly depends upon the choice of Members for the next Session of Parliament : I mean the choosing or refusing of such Persons who are now possest of any Places and Preferments , depending upon the gift and pleasure of the Court.

Strange news, of a discourse between two dead giants expressed in an epigram, to one inquisitive for news, and was composed by occasion of a scurrilous pamphlet, entituled, A dialogue between Colbrant and Brandamore, the two giants in Guild-hall London. Which pamphlet was not only intended to abuse this author, and some particular persons by name, but the said city also, in the late election of their Parliamentary Members. Thereto is added an antidote against all ill news whatsoever, which proving effectual to many lately reputed phanaticks, may possibly be vertual to some other. Jeers will be self-condemned, and stingless if contemned. G. W.

     • summary: This was the cause I sent to Ross , Waterford , and other places , to press them to declare for the Parliament , not in shew only , but in reallity ; which had they done , they would not have taken up such frivolous excuses for the disputing of my Authority , ( well known to be legally derived from this Parliament ) nor upon such groundless suspitions have calumniated my person with dis-affections to their Authority , to which ( through mercy ) in the worst of times , I have born a faithful witness : And in the mean time yeelded obedience to Sir Hardress Waller , who hath no Commission from the Parliament , who served a single Persons Interest whilst he might ; and who by a Letter he subscribed with others , to the Army in England , bid good speed to their undertakings , after their assuming the power into their own hands ; and by his subscribing the Letter sent hence to General Monk clearly espoused the Armies Interest , and disclaimed the Parliaments , of which I am supposed only to be guilty , and therefore not to be received , though there be not one Particular of that nature that sticks upon me , having in several Letters ( sent hence ) born my Witness against the said Letter to General Monk expressing myself to this effect : That though by reason of the reports we then heard of General Monk's leaving the strong holds of Scotland , in the Cavalierish Nobilities hands , I was not without my fears what the Issue thereof might be ; yet he declaring for the restitution of the Parliament ( a lawful Authority ) and the Army being as yet upon a personal account , I thought it sinful to own the Army and dis-own him ; and this it self is objected against me as a Crime , as if I had branded General Monk's Design with being Cavalierish . But you write to Lieutenant Collonel Puckle , That we had set up for our selves : We will not say , that you have set up for your self , though your staying , if not acting amongst those who had set up for themselves at London ; you never declaring for the Parliament , when most of the Army here had declared against them ; your posting from the Parliment , when you your self write , they were to sit within a day or two ; and your now casting your self into the only place in this Nation , which hath not , together with us , declared for the Parliament ; might , we say , give us a juster rise to believe you had set up for your self , than our Actings or Letters have given you cause so untruly to report of us ; if you have assumed that Belief concerning us , because of our not admitting you here , we hope , whatever you your self are pleased to believe , all unbyassed persons will with us , judge , it was not consistent with our Duty , to admit to the Command of the Parliaments Army here ( till their pleasure was signified ) a person that had ever since their Interruption resided among , and ( we more then doubt ) acted with their enemies ; that would not stay two or three dayes for their sitting , to bring their Commands with him ; and who stands now accused before them with several Articles of High Treason .

     • summary: Sence ; and it is inferred therefore , That they are dangerous , and may bring the life and liberty of the Subject to a Lawlesse , and Arbitrary subjection ; this supposition is inconsistent with one of the most sacred and venerable pillars of all Law and policy ; and yet here it is insisted upon , Let all Chronicles be searched , and let one Story be cited of any Parliament , which did tyrannize over King and Subiect , or ordain any thing to the mischief of both ; yet Kings I think will not make the same challenge , the best of them have done Acts of oppression , and the Reasons are apparant for it ; but no Reasons can be given why Parliaments should usurpe , or how they can usurpe ; yet the Kings inference runs against all Parliaments : He doth not say this Parliament tyrannizeth , and therefore he resides from them , and pronounces their Votes invalid , but because Parliaments may tyrannize ; therefore they have no power in their Votes at all , at any time whatsoever , further then the King ratifies them . For wee see in divers Monarchies and free States , some Princes which are limited from evill are not the more disabled from good , and if they be sometimes , that nation is perhaps happier , which intrusts Princes too little , then that which intrusts them two farre , and yet neverthelesse I desire to see no innovation in our English Monarchy , neither if this King shall upon this or that emergent occasion yeeld to some temporall restraint , would I wish to see it perpetuall , except in things onely tending to evill , for example , the King had a Prerogative to discontinue and dissolve Parliaments at pleasure , and the abuse of this Prerogative was the cause of all our late sufferings , but this Prerogative being restrayned , what injury is likely to follow eyther to the King or State , for in such restrictions , wch are from greater evills , but from lesse good , the King ought not to be difficult , and in such restrictions which may disable from good , as well as evill , the people ought not to be importunate ; but it is further obiected that by the same power Parliaments may disseise both the King and Subiects from their estates , as they make ordinances for the Militia , but in truth is not this a strange result , the Parliament have power to doe good offices by the consent of the people , & therefore they may have power to doe ill offices against the consent both of King and People , it is of dangerous consequence to suppose that Parliaments will do any iniustice , it looseth one of the firmest ●inewes of Law to admit it ; but to conclude that Parliaments can doe such iniustice as may oppresse both King and People , from whom all their power is derived , is unnaturall : and whereas the King claymes an interest in the Militia as legall and proper as ours are , in our Lands or Tenements , we must avoyd mistakes herein ; for in our goods and inheritances we have not so pure and unconditionall a right , but that it is inconsistant with the common right also , and in this respect the Kings possessions are not priviledged more then a subiect , for the States proprietie cannot bee excluded out of eyther , the same man also may have severall proprieties in severall things , for that propriety which the King hath in a Subiect , is not the same , nor so intire as that which he hath in his horse , for that right which he hath as a Prince , is by way of trust , and all trust is commonly limited more for the use of the party trusting , then the partie trusted ; in some cases also there are mutuall proprieties , and so the King ownes us as his Subiects , and wee owne him as our King , but that ownership which we have in him as our King , is of a farre more excellent and high nature then that ownership which the King hath in us as his Subiects ; that occasionall interest which the Scots had in Newcastle , or the Parliament in Hull , did not wholly drowne the Kings interest , nor the Particular owners , such temporary possessions may sometimes happen without the utter disseisin or dissinherison of each other , and we see in a breach of peace , the Constable by force takes my sword from me , and in such manner as hee may not take my cloake , although my interest in my Sword is as good as in my cloake , and yet my property in my Sword is not altered by that propertie which the officer seises to himselfe ; and doubtlesse had the same arguments beene pressed against disseisin of Lesley , as have beene since against Sir Iohn Hotham , they would have beene held much more impertinent then now they are , so much more are wee vilipended and harder treated then other nations are ; let not common sence then bee so much baffled as to make this temporary possession of Hull taken by Sir John Hotham , upon an extraordinary necessity of State so declared by the Judgement of Parliament , for the preventing of civill Warre ; and consequently for the preventing of great dis-service , both to King and State ; the same thing , as the violent intrusion of a private dis-seizor upon the just inheritance of his Neighbour : he which confesses , That the King hath a true and perfect interest in the Kingdom , doth not deny , That the Kingdom hath a more worthy and transcendent interest in it self , and in the King too : This is so far from contradiction , that he is farre from reason , that so conceives it .

     • summary: If the King had not been so tender of the Act of Oblivion in the Treaty of Pacification between the two Kingdomes , that he would not suffer any provocation to incline Him to ravell into that businesse , he might easily have freed Himself from all those calumnies and aspersions ; And it will be but justice and gratitude in that Nation , highly to resent , that whilst all guilty men shelter themselves under that Act of Oblivion , His Majesty ( who is the only innocent and injured Person ) should have His mouth stopped by it ( which is His own expression and complaint in His Answer to the Declaration at Newmarket ) from any Reply to the reproaches cast on Him in that matter ; otherwise He might easily have made it appear that that Liturgy and those Canons were regularly made and framed , and sent thither by the advice , or with the approbation of the Lords of the Councell of that Kingdome ; and if the putting them in practice and execution was pursued with more passion & impatience there , then in prudence & policy was agreeable , the error was wholly to be imputed to those Ministers of that Kingdome , who were most proper to be trusted in it ; however , that so generall a defection , and insurrection was not in any degree , justifiable or warrantable by the Laws of that Kingdom , is most certain , they having no visible Forme either of Parliament or King to countenance them , as the Army hath lately observed ; And that the Pacification first made by His Majesties mercy , and Christian desire to prevent the effusion of the bloud of His Subjects , how ill soever , was broken by them , and thereupon declined by the full advice of the Lords of His Councell , by whose unanimous advice the Articles were publickly burned , as may appear by the Record in the Councell Book of that transaction . Indeed they , who shipwrack their faith and conscience have no reason to expect reward from the King , but those Lords and Gentlemen who attended his Majesty in that convention well know , that never King received advice from His Parliament with more grace and candor , then his Majesty did from them ; and their consciences are too good to think themselves concerned in that expression , if his Majesty had not Himself taken the pains to declare to what party it related ; besides , it is well known , that some who appeared there with great professions of loyalty , were but Spies , and shortly after betrayed his Majesties service , as Sir John Price and others in Wales , and some since have alleaged in the House of Commons , or before the Committee for their defence to the Charge of being at Oxford at that Assembly , That they did the Parliament more service there , then they could have done at Westminster ; So that the KING had great reason to think He had many Mungrels there .

     • summary: Your next Government was entirely by the Armie , which as if it had not fought to suppresse all exorbitancy of power , but to possess it self of it , and was now sufficiently qualified to do all , that others had or would have done before , laid Taxes and impositions upon the Kingdom , repeated over all the ill things which had been complained of before , in most intolerable and insupportable degrees , and improved the confusion to that height , that there was no shadow or formality of Justice left ; and that dist●action in Gods worship , that there were more Religions than Regiments , and all practised with equall licence , and animosity against each other , when on the suddain the Generall of the Army ( if he can be called a Generall whose Commission was determined , by the determination of that Body that granted it , the Parliament ) takes upon him to assemble another number of people , every man chosen by himself , and that Councell of Officers of the Army , who were constituted by himself , and making their appearance before him , called them a Parliament , called himself their servant , and besought them to repaire those breaches and ruines of the Commonwealth , which their wisedom could only do , most of them being men of no parts , no experience , no quality , no interest in the Kingdom , serving only to render the venerable name of Parliament ridiculous by their frivolous and impertinent consultations , without doing any sober act in order to the healing the wounds of the Commonwealth , as their Predecessors had made it odious by taking upon them so unlimited a power to vex and grieve , and devour their Brethren . You know , how strange soever it be , that all this is true ; and you may then easily compute , of what rank or kinde of men they must be , who are delighted , or in their hearts not opposite , to your present Government : how very few there are in your Councel or Army , who were for King and Parliament , and how those Principles have been asserted by you , is known to all men ; what affection they have for you , who with so much hazard and infamy served you in the extinguishing the Monarchy , and what indignities they receive at your hands , is likewise within your own view .

     • title: A soveraigne salve to cure the blind, or, A vindication of the power and priviledges claim'd or executed by the Lords and Commons in Parliament, from the calumny and slanders of men, whose eyes (their conscience being before blinded) ignorance or malice hath hoodwinckt. Wherein the fallacie and falsity of the anti-parliamentary party is discovered, their plots for introducing popery into the church and tyranny into the state are manifested: the pretended fears of danger from seperatists, Brownists, &c. blowne away. And a right way proposed for the advancing the just honour of the King, the due reverence of the clergy, the rights and liberty of the people: and the renewing a golden age. by J. M. Esquire.

     • summary: This maxime or ground being no more to be denied , or questioned in this Monarchy , then that the earth is round in naturall Philosophy , as neer as morrall Philosophy may arrive at naturall in point of certitude : though should we grant them that a Parliament may erre , nay do wrong to Prince , people , or particulars , yet that would not follow upon this which they would maliciously inferre , and ayme at ; for none but it self , or another Parliament were to correct , or rectifie what a Parliament should have done amisse , and not the King or any other persons any way whatsoever , much lesse by force or warre : for he that is allowed to judge or correct , is allowed thereby at least an equall ( if equality for such an intent can be conceived sufficient possibly ) : but such equality of power in two distinct Magistrates ( for so we must distinguish King and Parliament here ) of different natures , and touching one and the same point or matter in controversie , cannot be in one and the same state , then such a corrector must be allowed superiour and the corrected subordinate , but such the King cannot be in our case , as above is partly shewed , and shall be further afterwards . For Democracy where the people or multitude governs is enemy to the Nobilitie and Gentrie , whereof chiefly or solely the Parliament consists , bringing all to a parity , and making all men alike in power , or rather taking away eminent persons quite , as envious or jealous of them ; whereas such have priviledges over the vulgar in a just Monarchy : What then doth the Parliament affect Aristocracy ? ( where the Nobility , or chief govern ) but the multitude or people whom the Parliament hath been charged to court , in which multitude resides or consists the maine strength , and who choose the Commons House , and must execute chiefly what the Parliament orders , without which their orders are nothing , after Democracy or Monarchy before Aristocracy : And doth not the Parliament ( as above is said ) from time to time give particular accounts of their actions to the world ?

     • summary: That the Lord doth sometimes leave his owne people to bee under the tyranny of them that hate them : I say his own people ( for this was Emanuels land , you 'l read it called by the very name of Emmanuel in the eighth chapter ) the Assyrian shall come and fill the breadth of thy land O Emmanuel ; they were Emmanuels people that should have these terrible yokes put upon them : to understand this lesson , bee pleased to premise thus much ; That it is of all judgements one of the most terrible and uncomfortable that ever a people can be exposed to , to have those that hate them to tyrannize over them , that was Davids prayer , I have done justice and judgement , give me not up to mine oppressors : O Lord deliver mee from that judgement , that I bee not left to wicked men , to put yokes upon my neck , to beate my shoulders ; and God used to threaten it as one of the severest plagues that ever should come upon his people , when hee was angry with them , that hee would give them up , that they that hated them should beare rule over them : and truely it will easily appeare to bee one of the terriblest judgements of all , because it is a misery that is opposite and contrary to the greatest mercy that can bee enjoyed upon earth ; which is to have rulers and governors , such as are over a people , to bee as a Sun or a Shield , as a Shepheard , as a Protector , as a Father , for these are names whereby the Spirit of God deseribes good Magistrates & rulers , to give such to a people as may defend every one in his own right , protect the fatherlesse and widow , and see that every one have justice and judgement , that there may be no complaining in the streets of a people ; but that they may live and serve God in godlinesse and honesty , in peace , to bee preserved in security and tranquillity , O happy are the people that are in such a case , faith the Spirit of God in the 144. Psalme ; now if this bee the greatest earthly mercy , then for God to give up a people , or to let them be given up to the judgement that is contrary to it , that their shepheards should bee like them in the 34. of Ezekiel , who should kill the fat , and tread under feet the leane , that should pluck off the wooll , and teare off the skinne ; that should bee as they are described in the 7. of Micah , as briars and thornes that should rend and teare the people that are under them , when the Lord shall give men up to such a condition , that those that should defend them , should enter into the field of the fatherlesse , and undoe a man and his neighbour , without mercy and compassion , this of all judgements in the world is one of the cruellest , and the heaviest that a people can bee given up to : now I tell you that God sometimes leaves his owne people to this condition , there are abundance of examples , and I should spend the time needlesly to receite them to you , because you cannot bee ignorant of them ; so they were in Egypt , when their lives were made burdensome to themselves , by reason of the heavy yoke of bondage that lay upon them ; so they were in the times of the Iudges , oftentimes an enemy comes in , carries away the harvest that they are ready to reape , sometimes carries away the corne they had gather'd into their barnes , mightily oppressed them , put heavy yokes upon them ; so was it in Babylon , if you reade but the fifth of Lamentations , it will make you weep to consider the sad complaint that the Church makes there , Our inheritance is turned to strangers , our houses to aliants , wee have drunke our water for money , our wood is sold unto us , our necks are under persecution , we labour and have no rest , servants rule over us ; wee eate our bread with the perill of our lives , Princes are hanged up by the hand , young men are taken to grinde , and the children fell under the wood , &c. such abundance of examples there are that I shall not need to prove it , onely let me a little discover to you out of the Word , for what causes the Lord uses to leave his owne people to this terrible judgement : I finde three cleer causes why God oftentimes hath left his own people to be given up to oppressors , to Tyrants , to put such heavy yokes upon their necks , their states , their consciences , their liberties , and the first & greatest & most frequent is when God himself offer'd to be the King and ruler of his people , to put the yoke of his government upon their necks , a yoke that should be sweet and easie , honorable & profitable , and his people cast off Gods yoke , would not be under that , then hath the Lord frequently let them fall under the yoke of some others , that they might know the difference betwixt being Gods servants , and the servants of other men ; take but two instances of this , one in the 2 Chronicles 12. This then for the meaning of it , That whatsoever enemies should rise up against the Church or people of God , however they may keepe them under for a while , Christ hath a purpose , and will in his owne due time break them , and their yokes in peeces , and he will doe it in a strange way , by his own hand , in a way that shall bee very easie to him to worke , but very hard for them ; either to resist or to beare .
