summary: A secure and easie going out for the Native , and a doubtfull hard comming in for the stranger ; which made the Caerulean God so indulgent of his Druina , and to repose in her such a rare confidence , that besides the clustre of Diadems which begirt her high fronded fore-head by land , he transmitted to her long since his very Trident , making her Impresse , yea , Empresse of the Sea , and that in so high a degree of Soveraignty , that in her owne waves , hee gave her an Exclusive propriety ; in so much that the utmost extent of her desmenes royall , are adjudged , by some great Clarkes , to bee the shoares of the neighbouring Forrests . Druina and Ampelona intervend to compose these differences , but they had a short answer of the Olive , that hee needed not the helpe of any , to reduce his own subjects to conformity , but the oddes that were , he would referre to the Cedar his Cozen , who as it seemes proving no indifferent Arbiter , Leoncia sheltred her selfe ( though Druina had the first tender made her both of protection and Soveraignty ) under the branches of the Royall Vine , who sending the very next of his owne stemme to governe her , he attempted , by the praecipitat Counsell of some greene springals about him , to ravish her , and render himselfe absolute .

summary: What a miserable thing it is , to see wicked counsellors get such a hand over theire King , that he is wholy ruled by them , and dares not doe or say any thing , but what they like ? nor favour a good man and his cause further then they admit ? as it was with Zedekiah , who durst not be knowne of the talke he had with Ieremie , but was forced to faigne a busines , and an answer to stop the mouths of his Princes and Councellors , so verie a child they made of him ; though it be saide , woe to thee o Land whose King is a child : when with a couragious & constant frowne , he might have dispersed them all , and have saved himselfe and the citie , by beeing perswaded by Ieremie . Al Princes are as much bound to observe his lawes and directions , as theire meanest subiects are to regard theirs , for he is the King of kings , and all his Rules and directions are perpetuall lawes ; so immutable and irrevocable that all designes and determinations that are contrary unto them , how faire a shew soever they make of wisdom and a probable good , they are but meere wickednes , and can not establish the Prince that puts them in practise , but rather tend to his undoing : for that is one infallible principle left us by Wisdom , A man can not be established by wickednes , and therefore the Lord saith , Woe to the rebellious children , that take counsell , but not of me , and cover with a covering but not of my spirit : which walke to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh , and trust in the shadow of Egypt as Asa also sought a league with Syria , and relyed on it , and not on the Lord , , and was therefore punished , wherefore Wisdom saith , It is an abhomination to Kings to commit wickednes : for the throne is established by justice : by carrying themselves justly towards God and their people , therefore state policies that stand not with pietie must needes overthrow it .

Sir Henry Hamon , and 40. more at the least , for this is our strongest party in number : though not for wisdome and power , for one of our richest and best friends , Master William Perpoint ( who hath carryed on the great designe , with as much secresie , industry and gravity as any of our Party is for closing with the King : My advise is to joyn with the King only to save stakes , for he grows daily in the Affection of the People , and there are Pestilent books daily writ , especially in Law Points , which are not for our turne : if we prosper , we must reform the Lawyers as well as the Parliament or Devines , for they grow sawcy , I feare you have too many of the Kings party in the Army , trust not to them , for they look through our designes , and incourages their party in London to joyne in the last Petition : for your Army drawing up neer London , I feare you have lost your time , for they are able to draw 40000.

You , Sir , suppose your Parliament Man , in these words , to be one who will regard no Arguments from Justice , Reason , Religion , or the Laws of God or Man ; Interest is the only thing which is likely to prevail ; an excellent Complement to a Parliament Man ; but it goes higher yet , and takes in the Majority of the States , for no one Man shall ever determin these great things .

THe Publisher of this Paper called , An Agreement of the People , tells us , that it was tendered to the Consideration of the Generall , and Counsell of the Army ; but before it was approved by them ( which I hope it never will ) he held it just to be published , that men might offer their Reasons against it : wherein he is so ingenious , that however both the Epistle and Paper might give occasion to some personall Reflections , yet I will onely give him fairly my Reasons why I cannot agree to this Paper ; having for the more clear proceeding first layed down the most principall parts of this Agreement , which ( as I take it ) is briefly , That the People who shall subscribe this Paper shall agree , To take away this Parliament , And to choose an equall Representative consisting of 300. men , who shall have full power without the Consent or Concurrence of any other person or persons , ( either King or House of Peers ) to make , Repeal , Alter , and Declare Laws : and that none do resist their Laws or Orders upon pain of death , except such Representatives expresly violate this Agreement , and they shall have power to choose a Councell of State for the managing of publick affairs :

So that at this very day , many undergo great Hardships , Abuses and cruel Usages , for no other Cause that can justly be laid to their Charge , than for keeping their Consciences clear in the sight of God , for Worshipping him according to his holy Requirings , and for reproving sin in the Gate , and crying to People , To leave off their Wickedness , Pride , Drunkenness , Whoredoms , Cursing and Swearing , with many other gross Abominations which abound too much among many , both Rulers Priests and People ; for which God Almighty is angry with this Nation , and will bring his dreadful Judgments on all those that continue therein .

summary: MY Lord Maior , and Aldermen , and the rest of the Gentlemen here assentbled , it is not unknown to you , with what difficulties , with what dangers both Houses of Parliament have a long time conflicted , for to bring the Liberties , and the Religion , and the welfare of this Kingdom into such a posture , as might give all the Inhabitants thereof full satisfaction : It is not unknown likewise , how busie the Enemies of this great work have been , to cast Scandals , to cast false Aspersions upon the proceedings , upon the carriages of Parliament ; They therefore thought fit ( that they might undeceive all persons of the greatest malice , and of the greatest opposition , of their endeavours ) not long since to frame a Petition , a Petition full of humility , a Petition full of modesty , whereby they did desire His Maiestie , that they might apply themselves to make Propositions to him , as might effect this great work : This Petition , that it might be delivered , they thought fit for to name ( as this Noble Lord hath told you ) six persons , two of the Lords house , and four of the house of Commons ; men that they though altogether without the least scruple , without the least exceptions , knowing that nothing in the carriage of these persons could render them liable to exception , but their duty , and their observance to the Commands of both houses ; when that these persons , the Names of them were sent to his Maiestie , for to have safe Conduct , immediately , I think the very day before , there came out a Proclamation against one of them , excepting him out of the grace and favour of his Maiesty , ( as it is termed ) and laying him in the condition of a Rebell , and of a Traytor against him , for the obedience , and the observance of that he had performed to the Commands of Parliament : This being brought to both houses , they looked at it as a businesse of such great importance , that if they should suffer any one Member , or any one person , that through his dutifulnesse and observing of their Commands , should lye under a cloud with his Maiesty , should not be admited to his presence , but be looked at in such a condition , as this Proclamation put him in ; they looked at it as the greatest indignity , and the greatest calumny that could befall a Parliament , and the greatest discouragement that should lye upon all men to stand to a Parliament , if they should not be defended and protected . Hereupon they resolved to declare , that the unwillingnesse lay not in them to make peace , but it lay in that ill Counsell , and that desperate Counsell that hath hemm'd in his Maiesty , and will not suffer such points , will not suffer such Propositions as these to take effect with him , but will labour to destroy all the Estates and Properties , and all that is neer and dear to you in this Kingdom ; therefore the house of Commons have thought it fit to acquaint you with these proceedings , to let you know how carefull they are by all good wayes , and by all good means to present their loyalty , and duty to his Maiesty , to take care of themselves , and all that belongs to you ; but when they see all will not take effect , they doubt not but you will ioyn cordially , and ioyn resolutely , with your purses , with your endeavours , and all that lyes in your power , to acquit your selves like men , to defend your selves , to defend them that have labour'd in your work , in your cause , and who are willing to spend their lives and blood in your service to the utmost man ; therefore they desire this of you , that since they have taken this care , that you will hearken to no Reports that shall tend to the disparagement of their proceedings ; but will unanimously concur , to defend your selves against that violence and oppression , that is now almost at your doors ; and this is that we have to recommend to you .

and he will suddenly have it brought to passe in the Nation , if not by you , then contrary to you , and to your utter destruction , and this is the very substance of my Message to you , that my Master hath given me to say unto you , and on his behalf I am come to claime of you my Masters long lost right , let him have his right , from which he hath long bin banished , I demand it of you , all yee , whatsoever , that seemes to beare rule in this Nation , I charge you in his name , let him have his title and prerogative , let him be Lord and King wholly in his own Kingdom , let him have the excercise of his peoples consciences by his own Spirit , in all things , related to his worship and service , and let him have the full Authority by his Spirit , in all things pertaining to Church , and Ministry , and Faith , and Religion , and let his Spirit have the alone Authority , to perswade and diswade people from , or to such or such Ministry , Worship , and practises of Religion , and let all forced Maintenance to Ministers , and Tithes be speedily taken away , and let all Lawes , and decrees whatsoever , made , and practised in the dayes of Antichrist upon the Bodyes , Estates , and consciences of the People , in oppression and unjustnesse about Church , and Worship , and Religion , be utterly repealed , and made void , and never more be in force in this Nation ; But let my Lord be sole Ruler and Governour , and have the full Authority in his own Kingdom , in all things whatsoever pertaining thereunto , and let no man henceforth hereafter , ever be intrusted with the liberties of the Members of Christs Kingdom , as they are such , nor to judg over them , in any matters of Faith , and Worship , but give that right and priviledg wholly unto the Spirit of Jesus Christ , for unto him only it pertaineth , to be whole Judg , and to have full power in his own Kingdom , and untill you give him this right , and deliver up unto him his own Kingdome , and the excercise of Peoples consciences in all things about Religion , you shall never prosper , nor none that comes after you , that shall in any measure abridge my Master of his proper right , from which he hath long bin banished as I have said , and till his right be given him , in the case aforesaid , he will dash one man against another , and none shall never be Established , but horne after horne shall be broken , and one power after another brought into confusion And therfore ye men , do not strive with him in this matter , but yeeld unto him , the excercise of your own consciences by his Spirit in you , and let him do so unto all others , even as yee hope to prosper , and upon the penalty of his sore displeasure upon you in this World , and in the World to come ; and let just men and righteous men , and meek men , and men that have the fear and wisdom of God in them , without exceptation of Birth or otherwise , let such men have the Power and judgment committed to them , to determin in things between man and man ; down with all the false hearted flatterers that have ruled for man , and not for God , and for themselves , and not for the good of the people , cast all such out from among you , for the good among you is choaked by them , down with all that judge for rewards , & away with all hireling rulers , that executes the Law for money , and will not plead the cause of the poor without great fees ; and down with all that will not serve places of Trust without so large stipends , away with all these things out of the Land , for they are hainous oppressions unto men , and great abominations in the sight of God , and the Land has long groaned under the waight of these things , and the Earth is weary of them , and my Lord requires their utter dissolution , as being iniquities fully ripe , and having the guilt of so much cruelty , Injustice and oppression , lying upon the Nation because hereof , therfore is the Lords season to destroy them , and remove them out of the Land , which if you be the instruments in such a work , it will be your greatest Crown , and your perpetuall honour , for the Lords purpose is one way or other to cleanse the Land of all these and other oppressions whatsoever , that the people of this Land may be a free people from all the heavy yoakes of Antichrist , which hath long sorely pressed them down , and the purpose of the Lord is to break the yoakes of oppression and tyranny , from off the necks of this People , and therfore is it that he overturneth , yea , and will overturne all men and Authorities that shall oppose his work , and none shall be able to stand before him , for the presence of my Lord is more dreadfull to a Nation when he shews himself in his wrath , then any multitude of Armed men , and woe is unto you if you be found opposeing of him , and if you seek to stopp his work , you shall not cumber the Earth very long , nor oppresse the Nation many dayes , wherfore consider , cursed will you bee if you be unfaithfull in what you have to do on the Lords behalf , for your houre passeth over that is allotted you , and will be suddenly expired , never to be recalled , and then you cannot work . True it is , such hath bin the coming to passe of time , and of things for many Ages by-past , that my Master hath bin as it were banished from the Nation , and hath not bin suffered to enjoy his Right , but hath bin expelled , even as it were by the force of Satan , and Antichrist , who hath long usurped Authority over the inhabitants of this Nation ; and in my Masters absence , lamentable injustice , cruelty , unmercifulnesse , tyranny and oppression , hath bin exercised upon the inhabitants , and the poor creatures hath bin held in great slavery by their Rulers , that have ruled by the Dragons power , and bin kept in great blindnesse and ignorance , and under great oppression both in body and spirit , by Antichristian Teachers , for this many years , even while the great King hath bin absent , and as it were gone into a far Countrey : even all this time hath Antichrist and the devil ruled and reigned , and hath made and executed oppressing and tyrannical Lawes and Decrees , both in Church and State , and all the Nation hath bin out of right order , and laid waste and barren of good fruit , and it hath bin as a wildernesse , by reason hereof ; and men that have ruled for many years , have not ruled singly by my Masters Authority , but by another power , though not without the knowledge of my Lord , neither as though he had not power to have done otherwise ; but for his own pleasure he hath suffered it thus to be , and let men go on to rule and govern in their own wills , and after their own lusts ; and people have walked wickedly towards him , and towards one another , and all this he hath suffered , not as if he gave toleration for it : for his messengers now and then , and his witnesse in peoples consciences , have bin reproving their ungodly wayes , and he hath often shewed his dislike by divers wayes and tokens , and many judgments and strange overturning : to the way and proceeding of both Rulers , Prophets and Teachere of this Nation :

summary: That no man , til he attain to the age of 25 , ( according to the Custom of our Southern Neighbours where men are sooner ripe ) may be enabled to sell or alienate his Lands , considering that in England very many Estates have been most foolishly spent and sold , after the age of 21. which by the same persons , arriving to their Wits before 25. would have been preserved . For erecting Colledges in London ( as is done in Holland ) where old men deprived of Wife and Children may for a reasonable sum of Money be neatly accomodated during life , with Diet and Lodging , and pass the rest of their days without care or trouble in a comfortable society with men of like condition and age .

date: 1642.0
words: 21973
flesch: 55
summary: For since ( as Wee hope none will deny ) the Kingdome must of necessity be ever in readinesse ( in time of danger at least ) by power of Arms to prevent or suppresse Rebellion at home , and Invasion from abroad ; and to that end the Subject must be armed and prepared before hand , and conducted after , as there shall be occasion : And that this cannot be done without a Command or Government , Wee desire much to know in vvhom , out of Parliament , ( for Parliaments are not alwayes , nor can bee called at all times , or meet on the suddaine ) this power can be but in Vs as the Supreame Governour ; ( as it is in all other States , be the persons of the Governours one or more , according to the forme of each State ) And can the Supreame Governour , according to his duty , and Our Selfe more particularly , according to Our Oath , otherwise afford Our people that protection which is due unto them , in maintaining to them the Lawes in the matter of Property and Liberty against private injury or oppression , As well as Our Selfe , and them , and whatsoever is deare unto any of Vs , against Enemies or Rebels , especially the just Rights and Prerogatives of Our Crowne , wherewith God hath trusted Vs , ( according to the fundamentall and well-established policy of Our State ) as well for the peoples good as Our owne honour , both which must bee preserved ; And will any man say , that by calling of Our Parliament , ( which is but a meeting of Vs and Our Subjects , ( and such they continue as well collectively in the two Houses , as they were before singly ) and a meeting in its owne nature dissolvable at Our pleasure ; and though now enlarged by Vs in time , yet not in power ) And as unto the pretended contrary practice , Wee agree that it is true , Divers Commissions of Array did issue out , which do vary from this Statute of 5. H. 4. yet Wee deny that they must be therefore contrary to it ; For ( however upon the Commission of 5 H. 4 as it was corrected in the severall Clauses in such manner as before ) it is enacted that from thenceforth forward no Commission should issue out otherwise then is contained in that copie ; yet it is most evident notwithstanding , that the meaning of the Law could never be to tye the King to the very words of that copie ; For then at all times the Commissions must have begun with Rex , &c. and not Carolus , or Regina , and ended with the same Teste for time and place , and just the same preamble of danger , be it true or false ( whatsoever other occasion had been ) must have been meant to be expressed ; All which are absurd .

summary: For the resort of Poor to a City or Nation well managed , is in effect the Conflux rf Riches to that City or Nation ; and therefore the subtile Dutch receive and relieve , or employ all that come to them , not enquiring what Nation , much less what Parish they are of . For , if they give to the Beggers in the Streets , or at their Doors , they fear they may do hurt by encouraging that lazy unprofitable kind of Life ; and if they give more than their proportions in their respective Parishes , that ( they say ) is but giving to the Rich , for the Poor are not set on Work thereby , nor have the more given them ; but only their rich Neighbours pay the less .

summary: EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). That this Government was received universally in the Church , either in the Apostles time , or presently after , is so evident and unquestionable , that the most learned adversaries of this Government do themselves confess it .

That seeing the whole Commonwealth is in a Lamentable condition of poverty , Trade almost utterly lost , and Thousands of Poor ready to starve , Let Piety , Pity , and desire of true renown perswade those that have Thousands and Hundreds yearly means , to forbear Sallaryes for some years , that so the People may have food , and the Commonwealth by their examples be encouraged and invited to Charity and Pity .

I. at the time of the Revolution to treat with your Majesty at Hungerford , in order to delay your Progress to London ; and lastly , who so violently oppos'd your Majesty's being crown'd King , as to lay an eternal Obligation on K. I. by it : I say , Sir , is it reasonable to believe this Gentleman so proper a Secretary of State to your Majesty , as the E. of S. who hath so mortally disobliged K. I. by being so early , and so zealous in your Interests , who went at the Head of that Message to K. I. wherein he was required to retire from Whitehall ; who hath since that been so instrumental to place and preserve the Crown upon your Head ; and hath , in a word , broken all Measures so with K. I. as to leave no Possibility of a Reconciliation to him , and consequently hath no Retreat from this Government , but is oblig'd in common Sense , to serve Your Majesty faithfully and zealously ? Or can your Majesty think Mr. K. who ( it is generally said ) believes himself the Son of K. I. and it is known by all the World , owes his Fortune to him ; who ( if we may believe Report ) at the time of the Revolution , agreed with Captain Tosyer , to carry the Ships he then commanded in the Straits to K. Iames in France , ( had not the common Sailers very rudely oppos'd the Project ; ) who after this acquitted himself so ill at Cadiz , in letting the Thoulon Squadron pass by him in his sight , without fighting them ; and to conclude , hath made so unaccountable a Campagne of it this Summer ; can your Majesty ( give me leave to say , Sir ) think this Gentleman ( after all this ) fitter to command the Fleet of England , than Mr. R. whose Provocations to K. I. are never to be forgiven by him ; who was one of the most instrumental Men in England in placing You upon the Throne ; who last Year gave you the greatest and most glorious Victory that ever was obtain'd by us at Sea ; and whose Courage , Conduct and Fidelity the Parliament of England hath unanimously attested ? And now , Sir , ( If I may presume so far ) will Your Majesty be pleas'd to examine what Honour , what Profit hath accrued to You , or the Nation , by your employing these Gentlemen who have of late been at the Head of the Ministry . I own they were for some time , like Fishes who have got a Worm in their Heads , they did frisk and leap out of their own Element ; but like them too , they soon plung'd into it again : for K. I. was scarce got to Feversham , before they repented what they had done , and from that day to this have given all the Proofs and Marks of an invincible Hatred and Enmity to the present Government : They opposed the King's coming to the Crown , fell into Cabals for the weakning his Government when he was King , and raised Rebellion without , and Plots within the Kingdom for the restoring of K. I. &c. Nay , at this time it is undeniable , that when ever the Clergy are most numerous , the Jacobites are most numerous too ; there are more Jacobites ten for one in every Cathedral Town , than in any other Towns , accounting number for number :

summary: In the next place he informs us , That it has been long the practice of the Popish and Arbitrary Party , that the King should call , frequent , short , and useless Parliaments , till the Gentry grown weary of the great expences of Elections , should sit at home , and trouble themselves no more but leave the People expos'd to the practices of them , and of their Party ; who if they carry one House of Commons for their turn , will make us Slaves and Papists by a Law. Popish and Arbitrary , are words that sound high amongst the multitude ; and all men are branded by those names , who are not for setting up Fanaticism and a Common-wealth . With what impudence can our Author say , That an House of Commons can possibly be so pack'd , as to make us Slaves and Papists by a Law ? for my part I should as soon suspect they would make themselves Arbitrary , which God forbid that any Englishman in his right sences should believe .

summary: I think their Triumph goes before their Victory ; and if Books and Writing will not , God be thanked the Parliament will Confute them , by taking care to maintain such Forces , and no more , as they think needful for our safety abroad , without danger at home , and leaving it to time to make it appear , that such an Army , with Consent of Parliament , is not inconsistent with a Free Government , &c. 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: Depending on a due Ballance between King , Lords and Commons ; and affirms from thence , That this Constitution must break the Army , or the Army destroy this Constitution : and affirms absolutely , with a Confidence Peculiar to himself , That no Nation can preserve its freedom , which maintains any other Army than such as is composed of a Militia of its own Gentry and Freeholders . Page the Sixth he begins very honestly , with a Recognition of our Security under the present King , and softens his Reader into a belief of his Honesty , by his Encomiums on his Majesty's Person , which would be well compar'd with his Seventeenth Page , to shew how he can frame his Stile to his Occasion ; but in short , concludes , that when he is dead , we know not who will come next ; nay , the Army may come and make who they please King , and turn the Parliament out of Doors and therefore in short , we ought not to trust any thing to him , that we wou'd not trust to the greatest Tyrant that may succeed him .

summary: This tendernesse and regret I find in my soul , for having had any hand ( and that very unwillingly God knowes ) in shedding one mans bloud unjustly , ( though under the colour and formalities of Justice , and pretences of avoyding publick mischeifes ) which may ( I hope ) be some evidence before God and Man , to all Posterity , that I am far from bearing justly the vast load & guilt of all that bloud which hath been shed in this unhappy Warre ; which some men will needs charge on Me , to ease their own soules , who am , and ever shall be , more afraid to take away any mans life unjustly , then to lose my owne . I confesse it is not easie for Me to contend with those many horrours of death , wherewith God suffers Me to be tempted ; which are equally horrid , either in the suddennesse of a barbarous Assasination ; or in those greater formalities , whereby My Enemies ( being more solemnly cruell ) will , it may be , seeke to adde ( as those did , who Crucified Christ ) the mockery of Justice , to the cruelty of Malice : That I may be destroyed , as with greater pomp and artifice , so with lesse pity , it will be but a necessary policy to make My death appeare as an act of ●ustice , done by Subjects upon their Soveraigne ; who know that no Law of God or Man invests them with any power of Judicature without Me , much lesse against Me : and who , being sworn and bound by all that is sacred before God and man , to endeavour My preservation , must pretend Justice to cover their Perjury .

And there must be in Christs Kingdome a perfect Law made for all occasion , and according to the Gospel , a Law that needeth not to be altered every foot , but it must be such a Law as nothing shall be added to it , or taken from it ; that every one may know his rule and the punishment of his errour , and the said Law must be truly and speedily executed upon the offenders , else it profiteth nothing , for so long as our Law is imperfect , and that our Parliaments are alwaies making and nulling Laws , we shall never be quiet or come to rest according to Gods promise which saith , Heb. 4. 9. there is a rest for the people of God , and the Lord is well pleased for his righteousnesse Lands and states in rich mens hands , and they could not deny it ? but told them in a bravado they would spend in law thousands before they should get it : and the poor knowing aforehand the course of the law was content to loose their Right , and it was wisdome in them so to do ; seeing their going to law will not relieve them , being sure it will make their condition worse ; what a sad thing is it for men to live under such a law , let all good just reasonable men judge , such doings are not to be in Christs Kingdome .

summary: Captaine Antony a Flemming , being sent by his Highnesse the Duke of Lorraine into Ireland , to conduct some Souldiers of Colonell Plunkets Regigiment , which he had levied in Ireland for the Dukes Service , ( his Highnesse seeing the Spaniard and the French levie forces in Ireland , thought it as lawfull for him so to doe as for them ) Captaine Antony upon his Highnesse charge bought a Vessell in Waterford , in which he imbarked some 30 or 40 men for Flanders , but at Sea was taken by a Parliament Ship and brought Prisoner into Portsmouth , no regard being had to his Highnesse Commission which he shewed ; There , were his men kept Prisoners for many weekes on Ship-board , not being permitted to Land ; the Captaine in the meane time got leave to come up to me to make his complaints , in which I negotiated as much as possible I could , but was still put off , in the meane time his Highnesse men , still on Ship-board , indured extreamity of misery , being forced somtimes for eight dayes together to drink nothing but Sea water ; In fine , I pressing that they might be used like Christians , one in office in the Committee of the Admiralty answered me , that he esteemed them no better then doggs : Thus was his Highnesse defeated of his Prize , and of his owne Ship .

summary: And I said , Lord , what meaneth these Suns , and one to be so bright over the other , and so to darken the rest ? and my God said , that these three Suns hold forth three dispensations , one of them more glorious then the rest , and as they do appear unto you in glory , so did they shine for the time of their being ; and the first Sun doth hold forth the first dispensation , even that , which was given by me the Lord of host to Moses , even that law that was written in Tables of stone , and the children of Israel had amongst them ; therefore as I did appear to my servant Moses in such away as to give him a table of stone wherein was written all my statutes , lawes and judgements , as I commanded my people Israel to observe and keep , as the observing of the seventh day , and the offering of sacrifices , and the slaying of the pascall lamb , and the giving of them by tribes an inheritance , that they should not deal with other nations , as to make marchandise with them , were but all tipes and figures of the appearing of my son Christ in flesh ; and so it was but a darke dispensation , in regard that it was but a dispensation that did hold forth Christ to come in the flesh ; and those that lived under it at that time until Christ had lawes and commandements for to observe ; which they were never able to keep or fulfil ; so in this respect it did shine gloriously for the during or continuance of that time they were to continue ; because they my people Israel , had lawes and ordinances which all the nations besides them had not , and so God did not deal with other people as he did deal with them ; as the psalmist saies , God hath not dealt so with other nations as he hath dealt with us : that was in regard of my love and favour which I had to them as for to make choise of them at the first ▪ & so did take them as a peculiar people from the nations , to whom I did commit my Oracles : yet this was but a weake dispensation , because it could not give life to them that did keep them ; but those that were in the account of me the Lord of host , it was by looking to my promise ; even to Iesus Christ , which I did promise life by ; and so when the fulness of time came , that my son Iesus was to be made manifest in flesh , and was borne , then the dispensation of types and figures ceased , and was not to be ; but was put out by the appearing of the Second Sun ; which was the second administration , even Christ a Saviour coming in flesh amongst man , and so was by power declared to be the Son of God ; herein even I the Lord of host did appear most gloriously to the people in that age , by giving of my son Iesus and his disciples povver to do and work miracles , which continued so long as my son was visible amongst them in flesh , and then it ceased as he ceased from being amongst them ; and this administration , was to continue for a time , as Moses were , for all the lawes , and waies , and rules that are contained in this second administration , as given out by Iesus in the flesh as he were , was but to continue for a time ; which time was to last so long until all the Kingdome shal be delivered up into the hand of the Father , that he might be all and in all ; that is at the end of this administration , I wil take the power uuto my self that is I wil make my self manifest in such an extraordinary way or manner , as wil appear to the confounding or putting out all other lights besides my self ; as the third Sun did appear very glorious to the rest , so wil I in this administration of making out my self , or preaching my self in my sons and daughters , make my glory for to shine in a more extraordinary manner then before I did , for though I by my bright appearing in my sons and daughters , and in the world , at the time that my son was on the earth , did so powerfully operate in them , as that they must needs hold forth my Image of love , for it is love that holds me forth more then any thing , and love it is that is the Image of God , and I the God of gods did make them shew love one unto the other , by making them give bread one to the other , as they did ; And so went from house to house and break bread together and had all things common , this was but a tipe of that great work which I wil now do , as for to make not only my sons and daughters live in love and peace , and union , but also wil make their enemies to be at peace with them , and wil make them weary of their Idol gods , as gold , and silver , and so wil take from them that oppression that hath raigned from time to time ; and this I vvil do in my bright appearing in my sons and daughters , that shal see me to be their life and joy , and so to have nothing in worth or esteem besides my self , and so wil make them to be the City or temple that shall have no need of mens light , or candle-light ; but I , even I their God , will be their light , and so wil speak and preach in them peace and joy , and so wil free them not only from looking after creature objects , but wil wholly draw them up to live in me , and wil make them to see that they are dead , and cannot eat or do any thing , but all their life is I the eternal God dwelling in them , and causing them to hear a word behind them saying , this is the way walke in it ; and so the new Covenant shal be written in their hearts , they shall all know me from the least to the greatest , and they shall sin no more : at by my bright appearing or making out of my self to my people , I wil make them to know me , and all the rest shal know me , for I wil be a terror and a dread to them , and so wil make them to be afraid of me , and know me by my power that I will exercise over them , when my sons and daughters , even the new Jerusalem , shal see former things passed away , and all things become new ; all those things which formerly were sin to them , and did trouble them , to be no longer so , but new , and all sorrow to stay away : then it wil and shal be to them that laugh and mock and revile my Saints now , a fear and a dread , whereby they shal be in misery and in pain for doing so as they have done , for I wil appear very glorious in my sons and daughters , I will destroy them all , even all their enemies , even within and without , so that they shal not sin , but shal be wholly seated in liberty and freedome , and shal do nothing but my pleasure , and I wil joy in them , and Arise , and not only arise but shine , make it appear by your condition , that you are not only risen from the dead , but you have also light come into you ; therefore shine , and be not so dark as you have bin , when you were dead , and in your enemies hands , no , but be on the contrary ; shine , hold forth the glory of me your creator and redeemer , who have ransomed you from the hands of them that were stronger then you , shine , and let my glory be seen upon you , for they shal be afraid of you that hate you ; shine , ye therefore , and be like so many stars that shines in the Firmament , and glister like so many as the only people that are redeemed from death to light : for thy light is come , I am your life and light , and by being absent from you , your condition was a condition of death and darkness , and you were compassed about with abundance of sorrow , by being scattered abroad in the world ; but I who am your life and light , even I the mighty God of Jacob , am now risen to bring you into your own country , even together , ö daughter of Sion , shout and rejoyce , and cry aloud , Sing and make merry , and be glad in your King , who am now Risen with mighty power , for to bring you into your own land ; therefore rejoyce and sing , for thy light is come & Sion that vvas scattered abroad ; but now shal be gathered into your own country , even into Judea : for the glory of the Lord is risen upon you , even my glory is risen upon thee , for to bring thee out of a strange country ; and as Pilgrims and sojourners into your country , there for to make my glory and light shine and rest upon thee : for the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee , even upon thee ö captive daughter of Sion : for to make you see and know that I have purposed to bring you into your own country once again , and there to make thee the praise of the whole earth and the earth to see and know my power by which I do things , saith I the Lord of host ; who hath caused my glory for to arise upon thee ; for you have now a more surer word of prophesie , to which you do well to take heed , as to a light that shineth in a darke place , until the day dawn , and the day star arise in your hearts : this was given to the church in that age , who was to observe the word of the Apostles then and at that time , they being but babes and children , & so had a rule for to walk by , which rule the Apostle bids them take heed unto , that they walke by it : for how long ? even saith the same Apostle , until the day break , until there be some further appearance of light , a more glorious dispensation then now is , and the day star in your harts , that is until you do see & know God dwelling in you , and so do see & know Christ , who is the bright and morning star : to be one with the Father , Son , & holy Ghost : but one God dwelling in you , who is your life and strength , and so to see this God in love , to be your All and in all , and the very life of all things : til then you being weake , have had need of a writen rule to walke by , but now you have no longer need of any thing to walk by , no not the Scripture to walk by ; for I even your King and Lord , wil be unto you Scripture , and Law , and rule , and ways , and formes of worships , yea I wil be all : arise and shine , for thy light is come , and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee , even my glory shall now shine upon thee , for to make thee the praise of the whole earth , and the joy of all the nations , arise and shine , for behold darkness shall cover the earth , and gross darkness the people ; arise , shine , your condition wil and shal be happy , saith I the Lord of host , who hath made my glory to shine upon you , even upon you ö Sion ; whom I wil gather into Judea from amongst other people : but I wil tel you one thing , even you whom I do gather up into Judea : for behold this , darkness shall cover the earth , and gross darkness the people : even when you shal see light , and walk in light , and have light to be your guide , and have my glory shining upon you , even then shal others , the earth , be covered with darkness , for there shal be no clear light , and sun shining upon the earth , even upon those that come not up to worship me the Lord of host in Jerusalem , but instead of light , there shal be darkness , and instead of breaking forth of light , there shal be a mist and a cloud that shal overspread it self for a while , so that they that go not up to Jerusalem shal not have that clear light , neither shal they see and know that glory which I wil and shal make out to you ö Sion : for you ö Sion shal eat , and drink , and be ful , and have the bread of life , and water of life , when they that come not up shal be in want , and shal be hungry , when Sion shal be ful ; for I wil take away all their food , even their formes and wayes of worship , and wil utterly destroy them and bring them to nothing ; for these things , as forms of worship have they had some comfort in using them ; but I wil leave these dispensations wherein I have formerly appeared , and wil make darkness cover the earth in this sence , for I wil deprive them of all their formes and Church governments ; for I wil forsake them , and they shal receive no benefit by them , even darkness shal cover them , that they shal not see light in them , even gross darkness , even such a darkness wil and shal light upon poor creatures that walke by forms , and so think to be carried to heaven upon the sholders of their Priests ; but darkness , yea such darkness that both Priest and people shal be amased ; for they shal be driven out of their common-road , and so shal be forced to seek a new way , even this darkness shal light upon those that are malicious and ful of envy , and so would of a sudden destroy their fellow creatures ; darkness wil and shal overcome such ; for though they preach and pray , yet al wil not save them , but that they must be destroyed and brought to nothing ; for saith the Lord of host darkness shall cover the earth : there wil be no clear sight of God , and no clear sight of my way : for they shal not come to my knowledge , and so to the enjoyment of me here or in any place , but where Sion shal be gathered together , even my people , whom I have raised from the dead , and so wil bring them up to Sion , at Ierusalem the City where formerly I dwelt , which is in Judea , and there I wil make them shine , and be the glory of the whole earth : and after this first resurrection that they shal have for to be raised from a condition of death and slavery , into a condition of joy and life , where the Second death shal have no power over them : for this is the resurrection wherein I wil set you free from all death : and you shal dy no more , for I wil be your life , and you shal live for evermore , for now shal appear the sign of the Son of man coming in the ayre : which sign of my coming , is now , forasmuch as I the Lord of host , doth begin to declare unto my servants what I do now intend to do : for this ayre where it is said , then shall appear the sign of the Son of man , is not meant only the ayre above , but rather that ayre which is in this earth of yours ; for as your bodies are earthy , so are they aëry , for they , even your bodys , are not compounded only of earth , but of aire , and so I appearing in your bodies , and so making choice of instruments for to do my work , and my strange worke , that is my sign , or the sign of the Son of man coming in the aire : which sign is for to give people warning of what I intend to do , that so if I find them not doing what I would have them to do , they may the better be judged by me : and so punished for not doing of what I would have them do , for the appearing of my sign , is to declare unto them that I am coming to judge and destroy all things in man , especially in my Saints , besides my self , and so to raise my son up from that grave and place of imprisonment , as now for the present lies in : even to restore her to life , that she may dy no more : for blessed are they that have part in the first resurrection , on whom the second death shall have no power : it is a most joyful saying to them that have themselves raised up to be brought into such a place where they shall die no more : which will be at the place where I have appointed to make my self glorious ; and so vvil appear in my glory , and so make my povver knovvn , by being a God of povver , vvho have raised up Sion from amongst their enemies , and have brought her into her ovvn land , even into a place vvhere she my wife and I must be married , and so they shal live for ever , and never dy no more , for my Sion shal be changed , & so shal become nevv ; for the old man vvhich for the present they carry about them , shal be destroyed , and the nevv man Christ shal come forth ; and so they shall live for ever , and never dy more ; and so after this they shal be as the Angels of God , as my son Christ said , that should neither marry or be given in marrige but shal live in the ful enjoyment of me , vvho am the Lord of host , that lives for evermore , for vvhen they are brought into the ful and perfect enjoyment of me , and be at peace vvith themselves , so as they shal never marry or give themselvs in marriage , according to the customes of us , novv these customs shall vvholy be destroyed , and a nevv one shal come in , that they shall live in pure and perfect enjoiment of me their creator , and so shal have the use of those vvhom I appoint together , and so shal have the use of one another .

summary: Now though a King do not intend absolutely to abandon all kind of Government , yet when he leaves the proper Government , and assumes another kind of Government abhor'd by our Constitution , he plainly ceaseth to be our Governour in any sense ; he refuseth to govern politically ; he would bring in another Species of Government that is destructive of our Constitution ; and begins in many odious Instances , the Execution of Tyranny , contrary , not only to the Laws that make and limit our Government , but contrary to the ends of all Government ; and instead of protecting , destroys his People ; what can be plainer than that this is to abdicate the Government as King of England ? Yea , it is not questioned by those that most scruple about the present Settlement , but now there are positive Laws , requiring those Oaths , yet before they are taken , the respective Duties both of King and People are to be observed by force of the radical nature of our Monarchy , and the fundamental Constitution of Government in our Common Law.

summary: So that how large , extensive , and unlimitted soever , the Power of a King and Parliament acting in conjunction may be ; yet there are some Essentials and Fundamentals of the English Government , whereof a few relate to Privileges incident to the People of England , as they are a free Nation ; and divers are intrinsical to the Royal Authority , and inseparable from the Person and Dignity of the King ; that the very Constitution makes them Sacredly unchangeable , and sets them out of the reach of King and Parliament to meddle with . And should they ever attempt it , they would thereby immediately destroy themselves , and become divested of all the Power and Authority they have or claim ; because , deriving all their Jurisdictions from the Constitution , and having no other Title to them but what that gives , whensoever that is overturned and subverted , all other Powers sink and fall with it . Nor is there any Thing more common in our Books , than that notwithstanding the Almightiness of Parliaments , yet there are some Things that cannot be taken away by them . For admitting the Prince and Princess to have been King , and Queen , and that they had a Rightful and Legal Authority to call a Parliament , and that this Parliament was duly chosen , lawfully assembled , and fat vested with all the Power of acting in that Capacity that ever any Parliament did ; yet I do both repeat and affirm it , That since the Death of the Princess of Orange they have been no Parliament , and have no otherwise continued to possess their Seats , and to act in the Quality and by the Stile they have done , than by a most illegal and unpresidented Usurpation .

( Sir ) it is worthy noting , that they are Ordinances of men , but that they are to be submitted unto for the Lords sake , and truely their power is as just , and their subjects alleageance as due unto them , though we suppose them to be first ordinances of men , and then confirmed , and established by Gods Ordinance , as if wee suppose them to be immediate ordinances of God , and so received by men . They say , to set up any coactive independent power is treasonable both against God and the King , the question is not whether it be true they say or noe , but whether they have power to say what is Treason , and what not ?

Lycurgus might have sav'd himself the trouble of making laws , if either he had been Immortal , or that he could have secur'd to Posterity , a succeeding Race of Princes like himself ; his own Example was a better Law , than he could with all his skill tell how to make ; such a Prince is a Living Law , that dictates to his subjects , whose thoughts in that case never rise above their Obedience , the Confidence they have in the vertue and Knowledge of the master , preventing the Scruples and Apprehensions to which Men are naturally inclin'd , in relation to those that govern them ; such a Magistrate is the Life and Soul of Justice , whereas the Law is but a Body and a dead one too , without his influence to give it warmth and vigour , and by the irresistible Power of his vertue , he do's so reconcile Dominion and Allegiance , that all disputes between them are silenced and subdued , and indeed no Monarchy can be Perfect and Absolute without exception , but where the Prince is Superior by his Vertue , as well as by his Character and his Power ; so that to screw out Presidents and unlimited Power , is a plain diminution to a Prince that Nature has made Great , and who had better make himself a glorious Example to Posterity , than borrow an Authority from Dark Records , raised out of the Grave , which besides their Non-usage , have always in them matter of Controversie and Debate , and it may be affirmed , that the instances are very rare of Princes having the worst in the dispute with their People , if they were Eminent for Justice in time of Peace , or Conduct in time of War , such advantage the Crown giveth to those who adorn it by their own Personal vertues .

summary: Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. If Princes consider Laws as things impos'd on them , they have the appearance of Fetters of Iron , but to such as would make them their choice as well as their practice , they are Chains of Gold ; and in that respect are Ornaments , as in others they are a defence to them , and by a Comparison , not improper for God's Vicegerents upon Earth ; as our Maker never commandeth our obedience to any thing , that as unreasonable Creatures we ought not to make our own Election ; so a good and wise Governour , tho' all Laws were abolish'd , would by the voluntary direction of his own Reason , do without restraint the very same things that they would have enjoyned .

The bravest Princes in all times , who were incapable of any other kind of Fear , have feared to grieve there own People ; such a fear is a Glory , and in this sense it is an in●amy not to be a Coward : so that the mistaken Hero's who are void of this generous kind of Fear , need no other Aggravation to compleat their ill Character .

summary: But if men must depend upon their good or ill Stars , or upon the waspish humor of an Assembly when an angry Planet reigneth , the consequence is , that a man though never so faultless may by misfortune without guilt be transformed by a Vote , into an enemy of King and Kingdom ; that is to say , into a man fit to be knocked on the head , and the Murtherer to be rewarded as the Law formerly directed for killing a Wolf ; and yet God forbid one should think the Commons intended him any harm . I say for such a dignified Creature as this is , by one word of the Kings mouth to be reduced into his own single self again , is so cruel a change , that no wonder if men so degraded are angry at it , and would be glad , instead of being as little men as their Neighbors , to gain that superiority which Nature denied them , by virtue of an Authority to continue for their lives .

summary: The seventy elders in Israel , were a Senate for life ; this though constitutively elected by the people , became after the captivity , or in the Jewish Commonwealth ( how anciently is uncertain ) meer Oligarchy , by the means of ordination ; no man being capable of Magistracy except he were a Presbyter , no man being made a Presbyter but by laying on of Hands , and the Prince with the Senate engrossing the whole power of laying on of Hands . Nor were the people thus excluded , and trampled upon by the Pharisees under other colour then that of Religion , or tradition derived in their Oral Law or Cabala from Moses , in whose Chair they sat , and not only pretended their Government to be a government of Saints , but in some things bade fairet for that title then others , who assumed it afterwards : for that they did miracles , is plain in these words of our Saviour , unto them : If I by Beelzebub cast out Devils , by whom do your children cast them out ? therefore they shall be your judges , Athens consisted of a Senate upon annual Rotation ; yet through the Optimacy which was instituted by Solon , came under such a yoke of the Nobility , as upon victory obtained in the battel of Plataea , they took the opportunity to throw off , and reduce the Commonwealth unto more equality .

That there neither is or can be any absolute government de jure, and that all such pretended government is void. That the children of Israel did often resist their evil princes without any appointment or foretelling thereof by God in scripture. That the primitive Christians did often resist their tyrannical emperors, and that Bishop Athanasius did approve of resistance. That the Protestants in all ages did resist their evil and destructive princes. Together with a historical account of the depriving of kings for their evil government, in Israel, France, Spain, Portugal, Scotland, and in England before and since the conquest.

summary: Thou shalt in any wise set him King over thee , whom the Lord thy God shall choose : One from among thy Brethren shalt thou set over thee ; thou mayst not set a Stranger over thee . God did not require the Jews to accept of him for King whom he should chuse , but left it to their own free Will , whether they would accept him or no , is plain from the following Examples .

Jt is too true by the meanes of our Sauls , your Majesty became to your people and Commons , as the Angell was unto Gydeon , and so made them affrayd , but like the Angell that made Gydeon affrayd , your Majesty hath returned to their comfort , and as God he useth , where he loues ▪ he imployes , and like Christ himselfe you are now willing to enjoy them b● a willing contract , and not by 〈◊〉 , and by this meanes you appeare now unto your people like Moses , who had more glory by his Vale , then by his face , and I doe no● doubt but when all things shall be made manifest , but that one faithfull DAVID will be in more 〈◊〉 with your Majesty ; then either the Sauls or Baalams 〈…〉 is true , by the meanes of our Sauls the Crowne 〈◊〉 become full of cares , and your Majesty 〈◊〉 almost beene wearied by them , would faine now take some rest , and that your Majesty may rest , J will with Iacob give God no rest untill he have blessed you , wherefore being now reconciled unto your Commons , you will become as sweet and pleasant to the Church , and the three Kingdomes , as the Tree that God shewed to Moses , which when he cast into the waters , the waters were made sweet ( which formerly were bitter ) J know that thankefulnesse and love , can doe more with good men , then merit or necessity , and me thinkes I see you like our Saviour who thirsted after the salvation of Mankind , and J beleeve it was not so much out of drynesse as out of love , goe you and doe so likewise , knowing that modest beginnings , and hopefull proceedings makes happy endings , and for your comfort know , that God whose Battels you fight , will provide a due reward , and so J commend the saying of Salomon unto you , Eccles. 9.10 .

summary: THE Author of the following Letter sent the Original to Mrs. Tillotson for her Husband , and a Copy of it to my Lady Derby , for the Princess of Orange , several Months ago ; and when he writ it , he hoped the Members of Parliament would have been , against the Sessions , awakened by their Disappointments and Taxes , to consider aright , what is the present State of this miserable Nation , and how much worse is our future prospect ; and had he found them in that Temper , and acting steddily for their Countrey , he had thoughts to have presented with his own hands , his Reasons , why he thinks they have wronged King James , over-rated their Disease , and mistaken their Cure ; and he would also have given in Proposals , how the King may be restored , without hazard , either to our Religion or Property ; and this the Author would have done , because he thinks , that if either Reason or Religion would prevail , such an Offer must have had some weight ; but whilst the Whigs as much Sacrifice their Understandings to support this Change , as the Tories did their Consciences to make it , a Man would be reckoned mad that attempted in such a manner to reclaim such a Sett of Men , as have no more publick Spirit , than what lies in wrangling for their particular Parties ; or common sense , than what is p●oper to get into Pensions , and Places , that , at the witty Sir Charles Sidley once said in the House , They may charge in Armor . The excessive Value I have for you , for your Knowledge , your Judgment , y●ur largeness of Spirit , your Moderation , and many other great Qualities that ●ave signaliz●d your Name , once made you one of the greatest Ornaments of the Christian Church , one of the greatest Exemplars of sound Morality , and all that Philosophers call Virtue , make what seems to me an Apostacy from what you Preached and Writ , pretended to believe , and would have others to belive , shake me so violently in the first Credenda of Religion , that I beseech you , if you think it necessary upon no other account , that you will publish such a Discourse , at least , for the Satisfaction of mine , and the Consciences of many others , who I can assure you of my own knowledge , lie under the same Scruples with my self , have the same Scruples in relation to the Government , and the same Temptations to question Religion it self upon your account : It is the interest of the Government to satisfie such Men ; and if you think that we ought particularly and privately to apply our selves to you , our Number is so great that it would be too constant a trouble for any one Man to undergo ; nor can we safely debate a point of this Nature ; nor can you expect Men should trust themselves under the Protection of your Honour , whilst they think you have in the Face of the World , so grosly Prevaricated both from that and what ought to be a Principle of a higher Nature , the dictates of your own Conscience .

Thus in their turns have all Religions and Opinions lain under the Scourge of the severest of Laws , and all for want of that Obedience to a Law , which Humanity it self is utterly unable to pay .

summary: And albeit it may be answered , that God might have restrained man , but that restraint did not stand with the freedom of mans will which God had bestowed upon him ; yet , this answer stops not the mouth of the difficulty . Another is to perswade us , like to the second Table , to love our neighbour , and to be a mean to settle all these jealousies , and compesce all these animosities which interest might occasion ; and this appears by the Doxology jubilyed by the Angels at our Saviours birth , Glory to God , and peace and good-will towards men .

summary: Writs are sent out for elections , and which is worth observing in the name , not of any king , but of the keepers of our libertie , to summon a free Parlament : which then only will indeed be free , and deserve the true honor of that supreme title , if they preserve us a free people . Which never Parlament was more free to do ; being now call'd , not as heretofore , by the summons of a king , but by the voice of libertie : and if the people , laying afide prejudice and impatience , will seriously and calmly now consider thir own good both religious and civil , thir own libertie and the only means thereof , as shall be heer laid before them , and will elect thir Knights and Burgesses able men , and according to the just and necessarie qualifications ( which for aught I hear , remain yet in force unrepeald , as they were formerly decreed in Parlament ) men not addicted to a single person or house of lords , the work is don ; at least the foundation firmly laid of a free Common-wealth , and good part also erected of the main structure . Both which in my opinion may be best and soonest obtaind , if every countie in the land were made a kinde of subordinate Commonaltie or Common-wealth , and one chief town or more , according as the shire is in circuit , made cities , if they be not so call'd alreadie ; where the nobilitie and chief gentry from a proportionable compas of territorie annexd to each citie , may build , houses or palaces , befitting thir qualitie , may bear part in the government , make thir own judicial laws , or use these that are , and execute them by thir own elected judicatures and judges without appeal , in all things of civil government between man and man .

summary: How many substantiall Citizens of London have beene seduced to set hands to petitions of dangerous consequence , and to withdraw their hands from assisting the defence of Parliament and Kingdome ? How many papists , blasphemers , and men of dersperate fortunes , are met in the Armies that fight against the Parliament , yea : how many papists in these times of Warre , are authorized against Law by his Majesties Commission to buy , and take up Armes , when as the Protestants in divers Counties have beene totally disarmed , and their Armes taken away , notwithstanding their property in them ? How many godly , pious and painfull Divines , are now robbed , and plundered , their bookes and writings spoyl'd and defac'd , and themselves driven to London , as to a City of refuge ? And withall how many of those Ministers that preach against the Parliament are found to be the same that were heretofore questioned by the Parliament , for scandalous , vitious , and abominable lives ? And ( not to put from London over hastily ) is there not a cause to secure dangerous persons in London , and that those of London should be forced to defend London , when as neare as London was to Branford , so neare ( in cleare probabilities ) was London to the state of Brainford ? But certainly the Parliament wisheth His absence from the Army , wherelies the danger , and his presence in Parliament , where is His assured safety .

summary: Now , there is one talent which I am sure every childe of God that is effectually called hath , though they be never so poore , and that is the talent of prayer ; for indeed , it is the surest evidence to witnesse unto them , that the spirit of Christ is in them , when they can cry Abba Father : according to the lawes of our Kingdome , a child cannot be proved to be borne alive , except there be witnesse that it was heard to cry ; even so we say in Divinity , that every one that hath the new birth can cry to God his Father in prayer ; so that I say , every child of God hath this talent of prayer . 8. Salomon reckoneth up all the hard conditions that the Church of God can fall into , and alwayes concludes , then heare thou in heaven , &c. and then God answers , I have heard thy prayers and supplications that thou hast made before me ; with this talent of prayer the servants of God have overcome God , and held his hands , in so much that the Lord , if I may so speake , hath been glad to intreat them and command them to hold their tongues , and let him alone .

It was very cleare , that the persons too much prevailing with his Majesty , had long before this Parliament , a designe for over-throwing our Laws , enslaving our Liberties , and altering our Religion ; and it had so far prevailed , that we were tantùm non swallowed up ; and when through the good providence of God , this Parliament was called , and many hopes conceived , that now his Majesty seeing the mischief of adhering to such ill counsellours , would for the time to come be wholly guided by the great Councell of his Kingdome : alas it soon appeared that the same kinde of Counsellours were still most prevailing , insomuch that ( soon after the pacification with Scotland ) the Northern Army should have been brought up to London , as appeares by the very oathes of some who should have acted it , a thing thou thought so pernicious , that not only the chief Actors fled beyond the Seas , but many reall Courtiers earnestly solicited their friends in both Houses , that this their inexcusable errour might be passed over , and now to begin upon a new score .

Intentions so bad , but must needs think that he seldome considers the Consquences that may be drawn from his own Discourses ; The Calumniators of that King would only have prov'd an actual Violation of his Trust ; and the Dr. deliberately studies here , from Reason and Religion , Politicks , and Example , to prove in his Soveraign , a necessity to betray it ; what is this , but the rendering Him odious and criminal , with the worst of Innuendo's , or to make him suffer by Anticipation ; and what to a Subject no Laws will allow , by bare Presumption condemn him : I cannot in common Charity to the Dr. imagin this mighty Malice is directly meant to His Majesty , tho' too much I am afraid among such a deal of it must stick , but that his Transport and Passion against this Society , provok't him to such inconsiderate Reflections upon his Soveraign ; and we have heard , I know , in our own History , of a Subject that in the heat of his Game , shot his Arrows at a Deer , but kill'd the King , I wish it were not applicable too to his bitter Words ; and with them we have done here at present , having refuted them so far , as by pretence of Reason they would perswade us of the necessity of His Majesty's violating of His Word and Faith ; but for fear lest that should fail in its Effects , or a Specimen of his Excellency in Speech and Declamation , he brings Presidents for it , and Examples , which we are now come to Consider .

summary: I cannot resolve you that , but this is certain , they have never endeavoured a Cure , though possibly they might know the Disease , as fearing that though the Effects of a Remedy would be , as was said , very advantagious both to King and People , and to themselves ; yet possibly , such a Reformation might not consist with the Merchandize they make of the Princes Favour , nor with such Bribes , Gratuities and Fees as they usually take for the dispatch of all Matters before them . This Gracious Offer had the fatality to disguist one of the best Parliaments that ever Sate , and the most Loyal ; so that laying it aside , they fell upon the Succession , the only thing they had then left , and were soon after Dissolved , leaving the Kingdom in a more distracted Condition than they found it ; and this can no way be composed , but by mending the Polity , so that whoever is King cannot ( be he never so inclined to it ) introduce Popery , or destroy whatever Religion shall be established : as you see in the Example of the Dutchy of Hanover , whose Prince some fourteen Years since , was perverted to the Roman Church , went to Rome to abjure Heresie ( as they call the truth ) return'd home , where he lived and Governed as he did before , without the least Animosity of his Subjects for his Change , or any endeavour of his to Introduce any in his Government or People , and dying this last Spring , left the Peaceable and undisturbed Rule of his Subjects to the next Successor , his Brother the Bishop of Osnaburg , who is a Protestant , and this because the Polity of that Dukedom has been conserved entire for many years , and is upon a right Basis : and if our Case were so , we should not onely be out of danger to have our Religion altered ( as I said before ) whoever is King , but should in other things be in a happy and flourishing condition .

Wherefore , Man hath not any Reason to Believe , that Angels , which are Celestial Substances , can have Terrestrial Shapes ; and what Reason hath Man to Believe , that Angels in Heaven have the Shapes of Men on Earth ; but if they should believe they have Terrestrial Shapes , why should they believe them to have Mens Shapes , and not the Shapes of other Creatures ? it might be Answered , the Belief Proceeds from the Son of God , who did Take upon Him the Shape of Man , but then we may believe , that Angels are of the Shape of Doves , because the Holy Ghost , which is Co-equal and Co-eternal with the Son , did Take upon Him the Shape of that Bird.

summary: A first Testament and Covenant once in the power of man to keepe most perfectly , which since through weakenesse of the flesh , fruits and effects of the fall , is now impossible , precisely to be performed : All men in nature thereupon by a just sentence , as under the first breach of this Law , becomming children of the curse , wrath , and death : wee need not wonder then at the revolutions and changes of Government , since every thing else now is restlesse , untill it returne to its primitive and supreme center , from whence there was suddainely so great an Apostacy , that the whole earth was filled with violence , insomuch , immediately after , mans commecall scheane of Terestiall glory , became dissolved into a watery Tragedy , a few inconsiderate persons for number , only excepted , preserved from being overwhelmed in that universall deluge , which no sooner by multiplying had againe filled the surplase of the earth , but the like universall corruption appeared : All fixed principles for pure Nature , Reason , and Morallity , was by it eaten out , and became obliterate ; which doubtlesse was the cause why God in the next Age did againe minde the same through the figure of circumcision , as also , not long after in that terrible manner upon Mount Synaia in Iudea , the Hemispheare of Nations , give out his Law , to shew man once more , not onely from whence he was fallen , but to stirre him up thereby to his former duty , the matter whereof was engraven in Tables of stone , evidently to be seene and read of all men . that Forme since , as a Government for us more practically imitable : It was evident then according to Scripture , when the full time appoynted of the Father , for the spirituall liberty and age of the Church was come : He sent forth his Sonne into the world , cloathing him with humane flesh , and in the substance and shape of man put him under the Law : That in his pure flesh , in mans stead , and for his benefit , he might actively and passively performe , what God or man , by any Law could possibly require ; and though he knew no sinne , neither was a transgressor of any Law ; yet he being instrumentall in the Creation of man , the first , and supreme * head of man , by relation a * brother to man , and by a peculiar right had an interest in man ; it was both just and reasonable , that he onely as the fittest person should principally transact the affaires of man , and for that end , he was by God in the behalfe of all fallen man , imputed a sinner , numbred amongst transgressors , made a curse by suffering upon the Crosse , as a Thiefe and Murtherer , that so thorough this , Gods peculiar ordinance and acceptance , he might no more remember or punish eternally the transgressions committed against the first Testament ; as also to give a sure ground of future hope , that the bodies of the faithfull one day , shall be perfectly redeemed from the power of sinne , death , and the Devill , unto which by a righteous sentence , they became with others most miserably captivated , with all to give good assurance to all such , by the death and sealing bloodshed of this Sonne of God , which was appoynted to be both the testator and Mediator of the new Covenant t eternally stablished upon sure promises , their spirits once cleansed from the filth and guilt of the old :

summary: Nevertheless if we consider how easie it is to elude the Laws of man , to commit unproveable crimes , to corrupt and divert Testimonies , to wrest the sense and meaning of the Laws , &c. there follows a necessity of contributing towards a publick Charge , wherewith to have men instructed in the Laws of God , that take notice of evil thoughts and designs , and much more of secret deeds , and that punisheth eternally in another world , what man can but slightly chastise in this . And yet on the other hand there is no Pseudodoxy so great , but may be muzzled from doing much harm in the State , without either Death , Imprisonment , or Mutilation : To make short , no opinion can be more dangerous , then to disbelieve the immortality of the Soul , as rendring man a beast , and without conscience , or fear of committing any evil , if he can but elude the penalties of humane Laws made against it , and letting men loose to all evil thoughts and designs whereof man can take no notice : Now I say , that even this Misbeliever may be adaequately punished if he be kept as a beast , be proprietor of nothing , as making no conscience how he gets ; be never admitted in Evidence or Testimony , as under no Obligation to speak truth ; be excluded all Honours and Offices , as caring onely for himself , not the protecting of others ; and be withall kept to extream bodily labour , the profit whereof to the State is the pecuniary Mulct we speak of , though the greatest .

summary: And I think it self evident from the nature and manner of the English Government , owned in all Ages , to be quallified by laws , binding both King and People , that the king cannot more dispence with the Laws which limit the times wherein parliaments ought to be holden , than with the laws that preserve our lives and estates from being subject to this Will. Parliaments are of the Essence of our Government , and must have the times of their assembling indispensible ; and if it be not of right by law , that they are to be held within cercain Circles of time , as Custom and law have appointed , then there 's no necessity in law that they should be held at any time if the king please , and by consequence , they are none of the Essentials of our Government , but the Government may be without them . 'T is not now enquired , what Remedies there are if Kings shall leave undone what the Law and their Trust require in calling parliaments ; all the positive exercises , of power by the king , may and ought to be judicially sentenced , and approved for good , if agreeable to the Laws , or holden for none if they be contrary to the Law.

And then Popery and Prelacy will both return with greater authority , power , & approbation then ever ; over-spread our whole three kingdoms , and extirpate our Religion , & the professors of it , as the most anti-Monarchical , treacherous and perfidious bloody Miscreants under heaven ; & excite all other forraign States and kingdoms to do the like to prevent the springing up of a new generation of treacherous King-killing , State-subverting Agitators , and Hypocritical & perfidious Army-Saints ; and engage all Protestant kingdoms , Churches , and States , for their own security and vindication to disclaim and declare against us .

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: Each of these I intend to prosecute in distinct Chapters in their order For the first of these : That the Kingdome and Free-men of England , have some Ancient Hereditary Right , Liberties , Priviledges , Franchises , Laws and Customs , properly called FVNDAMENTAL ; and likewise a FVNDAMENTAL GOVERNMENT , no wayes to be alt●red , undermined , subvert●d , directly or indirectly , under pain of High●treason in those who shall attempt it , especially by fraud , force , or armed power . So as that which Paul once taxed in the slavish besotted Corinthians , 2 Epist. 11. 20. may be most truly averred of our degenerated , infatuated , English Nation : Ye suffer if a man bring you into bondage , if a man devour you , if a man take of you , if a man exalt himself , ( above your Laws , Liberties , Franchises , Parliaments , Kings , Nobles , Properties , Lives , Conscience , and a all that is called God , or worshipped ) if a man smite you on the face ; notwithstanding all their manifold late b Protestations , Vows , Covenants , Remonstrances , Declarations , and Publike Engagements , to the contrary . And withal , after diligent enquiry , discovering scarce one man of Eminencie or Power in the Nation , nor so much as one of my degenerated temporizing Profession of the Law , ( even when the c whole Body of our Laws , and all its Professors , are violently assaulted , and devoted unto sudden ruine , by many lawlesse spirits ) who hath so much Courage , magnanimity , Honesty , Zeal , or cordial Love to his native Country , remaining in his brest , as manfully to appear in publike , for the strenuous necessary defence of these our Hereditary , Fundamental Laws , Liberties , Rights , Franchises , ( though their own , and every other English Freeman's best Inheritance and Security ) for fear of being persecuted , imprisoned , close imprisoned , exiled , condemned , destroyed , as a Traytor , Rebell , Seditious person , Enemy to the publike , or disturber of the Kingdoms Peace , by those who are truly such : I thereupon conceived I could not undertake or perform a more necessary , seasonable , beneficial Service for my Country , ( and not to be like those , who are ashamed , afraid , for the most part , to own , visit , or be seen in the company of those Gallant men , much lesse to assist , defend , and stick close unto them in their dangers , according to the sixth Article of their late Solemn League and Covenant , who have suffered , acted , and stood up most for their Common Liberties , Rights , Freedoms , Religion , against all invading Tyrants , to their great discouragement and betraying ) nor pitch upon any Subject more proper for me , either as a common Lawyer , or as a constant Advocate and Sufferer for the Publike Cause , and Liberties of the Nation , as well under our late extravagant Free-State , as former Regal and Episcopal arbitrary Tyranny , then in this juncture of our publike affairs , to present our whole distracted unsetled Kingdome , with An Historical and Legal Vindication , and Chronological Collection , in all Ages , of these Ancient Hereditary Liberties , Franchises , Rights , Contests , Laws , Charters , Records , Monuments of former and late times , for their Confirmation , and

summary: This King not being able to suppress the Barons and people by his own strength , ( they having gotten not onely heart , but power ) sends to forraign Nations for aid , and entertains Poictovines , Italians , Almains , Provincioes to subdue his own people , and set them in great places ; which dangerous and desperate design the Barons much resenting , raised their spirits , and ingaged them in opposition to his Government , and set them on with more courage to look after their liberties ; therefore they several times stand up against the violence of Prerogative ; but what through want of strength or caution they were commonly disappointed ; yet rather ( if we may speak truly ) from the unfaithfulness of the King then any other defect , except it were their easiness to believe Kings , when their Prerogative , and the peoples liberties came in competition ; for after they had many times got , or rather extorted many promises , and confirmed them by oaths , ( the best humane security ) they were put to new designs , through either the suspention , or breach of them , witness these Instances ; after many foiles ▪ and tedious and various delusions by this King ( whose beams attracted most , dazled others ) the Barons , and people ( who were then unanimous through mutual oppressions ) fall more close , and severe on their principles , and wil not endure either delays , or delusions , and therefore effectually to redress their grievances , came very well armed to a Parliament then holden at Oxford ( intended rather for getting Subsidies , then removing oppressions ) in which Assembly they put the King to it , urge their former complaints with more zeal and reason , and with an addition of a mighty Spirit , demand the absolute confirmation of Magna Charta , and in a larger edition ( wherein are comprised those gallant priviledges of the Commons of England , which have yet been but kept by Ink , and Parchment ) and not trusting the King , got his son , Prince Edward , to seal it , with an addition of twenty four ( some write twelve ) Peers which Fabian stiles the douze Peeres , not only to see these priviledges truly observed , but to be as joynt Regents with the King ; and all the Lords , and Bishops in Parliament took a like Oath , to maintain these Articles inviolable ; yea , and all that would have any benefit of residence in the Kingdom , were enjoyned to take the same ; But these were too strict bonds for such a Princes wil , he soon finding advantages ( as he sought them ) recals all , gets a dispensation from the Pope for his forced Oath and to countenance his perjurie ▪ and acts in the old account ; the Barons again stand up with the people stoutly for the performance of the Articles of Oxford ; and sometimes brought him into straits ; yea , fully ▪ defeated him in many bloody battles , and regained the confirmation of the same laws , with security ; that all the Castles throughout England should be delivered to the keeping of the Barons , that the provisions of Oxford be inviolably preserved , that all strangers should be dismist the Kingdom , but those which by generall consent should be thought fit to remain ; this necessitous act though as it gave the people some peace and hopes , so it gave the King time to consider of new mediums , and therefore still to delay , and blind , he Assembles a new Parliament at London , where having ( by the sprinkling of Court water ) won many Lords to take his part , begins to surprise as many of the Barons as he could get , and spoiled their Castles and Houses , that success and authority grows strong on his side , and the Barons with some calme provisoes mediate a peace , insisting onely in generall that the Articles of Oxford might be observed ; But the King relying on his strength , defies them as Traitors ; which done , the peoples two Generals , the Earls of Leicester and Glocester , seeing no other means but to put it to a day , supply their want of strength by their wit and diligence , and carefully and artificially placing their battel ( which was fought at the Town of Lewis in Sussex ) overthrew the Kings Army , took the King , the Prince , the Earl of Cornwal , and his son Henry , the Earls of Arundel , Hereford , with many other Lords , and Gentlemen , both English and Scottish . His eldest Son Edward who was the fifth of that name , succeeded him in claim , & title , but rather lived then raigned ( being an infant ) had never any actuall exercise of his government ; for Ric. Duke of Glocester , and Uncle to this Infant , and made his Protector , that he might set up himself , causeth both the young titular King , & his Brother , ( these two Royall Infants ) to be barbarously murthered in their beds , and so wears the Crown himself , by the name of Richard the Third , untill Henry Earl of Richmond ( a twigg of a Bastard of John of Gaunt ) by his valour at Bosworth field , having overthrown his Army , slew the Tyrant himself , and created by his sword ( for other he had none ) a new title to himself , and was Crowned King , by the name of Henry the Seventh , who , what by his power and by a marriage of the Lady Eliz. the eldest daughter of Ed. the Fourth , confirmed his succession , & from him do all our later Princes derive their Title , as Henry the Eighth , Edward the Sixth , Queen Mary , Queen Elizabeth , King James , and our last Tyrant Charls .

And may Almighty God with his grace , by which he made him King , continue him in his Kingdomes , and restore him to his power , that he may punish all those men of Belial , who say , they made him King , and He shall no longer raigne over them ; yea , O God , let all those Children of Belial taste of thy mercy , and the Kings justice , who say , how shall this man save us ?

summary: So that all the forementioned Impotence and Impossibilities of popish and arbitrary Tyrannys Introduction into England , being fully demonstrated ; I have only this to add ; There is no greater Mistake in the generality of Mankind , than an Imbibed Opinion , that the Papists think themselves obliged to endeavour the setting up of their Religion hap-hazard , right or wrong , hand over head , without Consideration or Regard to the Issue or Success of the Undertaking ; and that in fine , a popish Successour will certainly muster all Forces and all Engines to attempt the Storming of the whole Protestant Liberty and Religion , though under a tenfold Odds of laying his very Bones at the Siege . But alas ! when it comes to the DOING once , the Papists will find that the whole Body of the people of England , even to a Nemine Contradicente ( at least , not one in a hundred excepted ) if without any other Defence of their Belief , are still those Opinators in Religion , that maugre the general Ignorance of the Multitude , or the great Learning or Rhetorick of the Jesuites , they 'd be no sooner perswaded to quit their plain English Bibles , nay , not so much as poor Sternhold and Hopkins , to listen to an unintelligible Latine Mass , or joyn in an Ora pro nobis sancte Paule , sancte Petre , sancte Loyola , and the rest of the Fraternity of Major , or Minor Saints , then they 'd kneel to the Talmude or the Alcoran , nor be no more perswaded into the possibility of a Wafer's Transsubstantiation into a Deity , than of a Cartwheel into a Star : and without these and the rest of the Romish Fundamentals , where 's the Restoration of the Romish Faith , or the Progress of a Popish Propagation in England .

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 .

summary: If the Limitation in the Parenthesis ( I speak as to the Thing , not Degree ) were intended to qualifie the crudeness of this ( otherwise ) wild Assertion , I am content to let it pass : I shall only add , That if we should grant these premisses , he could not infer a Conclusion wide enough for his purpose , because his enumeration of particulars is very Lame ; for , besides , those things which are Duty absolutely , and those which are absolutely Unlawful , there are a sort of things of a middle nature , only Lawful of themselves , but not necessary ; which before the Oath I might have done , but after the Oath I must do ; and this part of the Division ought not to have been forgot , because our great Contest is concerning these things of this middle nature . Sure the Wisdom of all Nations hath been strangely mistaken , if so be , that Promissory Oaths are not things of very great use and Obligation : Solomon , among other Reasons by which he presseth Obedience to Kings , reckons up this as one , and that not the least considerable , in regard of the Oath of God.

summary: Many more examples of this nature might be added : but we shall only say this by way of argument , and so have done ; that seeing neither the word of God , nor reason does command , or allow a King , or any other Magistrate to mount a Throne , and accordingly to take possession of the power by violence , and that it would be a thing of most dangerous effects , if the minds of people should be possest with any such principle ; ( for there is such a lust and propensity in the hearts of men to govern , that they would seek out all occasion to destroy the very best of Magistrates ; and thereby the people might be robbed of the very best of Governours and Government : for the same principle that makes a man usurp a power , makes him also usurp an unjust and unlawfull power , ) it 's evident that conquest makes not a good right . Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people , able men ; such as fear God : men of truth , hating covetousness , and place such over them &c. And it is a thing well known to all the world , that the want of this can not be dispenced with in any manner of employment whatsomever : for the meanest treadsman is obliedged to be Just and upright , or if otherways he be found to malverse in his office , by cheating of people , he can no more be looked upon as a Just and lawfull treadsman , but a cheat and a rogue .

summary: As a System of which Principles , I think not Improper to insert an Expression in the Prayer of one of their Celebrated Divines , since fled for a Scotch Traytor , just about such time as the Westminster Parliament was dissolved , after some Incouragement of the People to be unannimous against the so much feared Popish Doctrines , and Counsels — Oh Lord , pursues he ! Mr. West's Evidence was , That he came Acquainted with the Captain the last Summer Vacation ; that the Captain told him , That there was a Design of an Insurrection to be made in Three Weeks or a Month , and that he did not know , whether he should be concerned , but that my Lord Shaftsbury was Engaged therein , and that he had an Expectation of being a Collonel of Horse , and Asked him , If he would have any Command under him ? That the said Lord had another Design on the King and the Duke , as they came from Newmarket , in October then last , but withal , that he Abhorred any such thing , that it was ungenerous , and he would be concerned no further then the general Rising , and Asked him to lend him a Suite of Silk-Armor , and desired him , to bespeak him a good strong Tuck ; but the said Designs being put off , as he understood , by means of Mr. Trenchard , who had discoursed , of what Forces he could Raise in the West , But when the Duke of Monmouth sent for him , his Heart failed him , and he declaring it , my Lord Grey called him Coxcomb , this was about the 17th of November ; That Captain Walcot told him , Mr. Ferguson had the Conduct of the Assassination , in October , and that he was acquainted with the Insurrection , and was a great Man in it ; That he met Mr. Ferguson , who entertained him with a long Discourse of the Miseries of Scotland , and that the People were in Slavery and Bondage , and would be so here , if they did not free themselves , to which , there were Two ways , One , a general Insurrection , but that was gone off , the other , the Killing the King and the Duke , which was the more Compendious , and added , that he supposed the same was best , and proposed to meet at his Chamber , as a place of privacy , to Treat of the same ; they met accordingly at his Chamber , and Ferguson proposed several ways of doing it , One , as the King and Duke had their private Meetings at St. James's , where it was an easie thing for a Swords-Man to do it ; That Mr. Ferguson , and the Captain , both told him , There was a Design to have done it at my Lord Mayors Feast , in the Hall , or on their Return in St. Pauls-Church-Yard , or at Ludgate , but the King not Dining there , it was disappointed ; another way was proposed , that they might do it as the King and Duke went down the River , lying behind some small Ship in a Hoy , or some such thing , and so over-run their Barge , or if that failed , to break a Plank with their Blunderbusses , and so Sink it ; another way , at the Play-House , where Forty or Fifty Men should be placed in the Pit , with Pocket or Hand Blunderbusses , Pistols and Swords , and when the Musick struck up between the Acts , to Fire on the Box , but this was held hazardous , and therefore they thought it better to do it as he came back , under Bedford-Garden-Wall , because there was a Convenience for a great many Men to walk in the Piazzas , and another parcel of Men might be placed in Covent-Garden-Church-Porch , and within the Bails , where Horses could not come ; That this was before Mr. Ferguson went for Holland , with my Lord Shaftsbury , and Captain Walcot ; That in the mean time , he met Collonel Rumsey very often , but nothing was agreed , till they sent for Mr. Ferguson back , upon whose Arrival there was a Meeting at the Five Bells Tavern , and several times afterwards at his Chamber ; where Ferguson , Goodenough and Rumbald , undertook to provide the Men for the Assassination , whereupon Debates were had , whether it should be done as His Majesty went or came ?

summary: For , the Ecclesiasticks , by being repossessed of about an hundred forty and two thousand pounds per annum , ( as this Remonstraant is credibly informed ) by Impropriations , now well near all out of Lease , besides Parsonages and Vicaridges , with other vast Revenues lately so much improved , that their Annual worth is greatly enlarged , have already raised so many hundred thousands of pounds by Fines and Rents , that it hath exhausted the Treasure of this Kingdom out of the Peoples purses , into their secret Hoords ; even so much , that there is not sufficient for men to follow their Trades and Callings , pay Taxes , and sustain their Families , without great penury : And the said Ecclesiasticks , ( as it is famed also ) are so suspitious of the Securities of these Times , and ( perhaps , justly so fearful lest the King and his Council , or the King and the next Parliament , may take their Uselesness , Avarice and Ambition , into such serious consideration ) that , to provide for what may possibly succeed , they will either hide their money in the earth , where much of it may be quite lost ; or else keep it so close , that little of it will be employed , for Advance of Traffick & Negotiations betwixt man and man , & Trade thereby obstructed , much more then at present ; especially , by that time they have fleeced every sheep within their Jurisdictions . In true Reason , ( which distinguisheth Men from Beasts , as Justice and Mercy differences them from Devils ) this Remonstrant conceives , that the whole matter in Fact and Judgement , concerning the said Sales and Securities , must unavoidably be brought to this Dilemma ; ( to wit ) either the Long Parliament had Power to make such Sales , and grant such Securities as aforesaid , or else they had not : If they had such a Power , then their Sales and Securities must be allowed and confirmed ; or , at least , ( if in Law or Equity , restitution of what was by them sold , ought to be made to the former possessors ) then recompence must be given another way ; else injustice is commited , GOD , and the Nation are dishonoured , and many thousand Families and innocent persons will be unmercifully exposed to ruine ; and that severity and want of compassion , for which they were visited in wrath , who last abused their Power , will be more then doubled .

summary: Again : Since the Tribute , and Revenues of a Crown are the Stipend of God , ( if I may call it so , ) appropriated by God to the supreme Powers , as his Ministers , it being necessary for the support of their Grandeur , and Carrying on of their Business , and therefore , St. Paul saith , They are God's Ministers attending continually upon this very thing : When then this Tribute is quite taken from one , and given to another , so that it is impossible for him from whom it is taken to appear any longer as the Minister of God , and carry on his Business , God then seems to me to have actually discharged such an one from his Service , and to have pitcht upon the other to be his Minister , to whom the Tribute is paid : And therefore it seems clear to me , that he is to be owned as Supreme , and God's Minister , who actually possesseth the Throne , and the Appurtenances thereof ; and not he who was once King but is now dispossest : As for that nice Distinction of a King de jure , and a King de facto , I look upon it to be a mere Chimaera , and no way practicable . To this I answer : Grant that it cannot legally be forfeited , and that though the Law obliges the King , yet it cannot punish him ; and that the Law hath so fenced about the Persons of Kings , that it is impossible in the sense of the Law , for a King upon any Trespass whatever to forfeit his Crown ; and that there is no Subject can offer any Violence , or attempt any thing against the Prerogative or Person of the King , but at the same time he becomes a Trespasser of the Law , and by the Law is punishable ; grant all this I say , that the Laws of the Land do , as much as they can , secure the Right of Dominion in the Person of a King , and his Successors , so that as far as they can make him , he is King de jure ; yet jure they can never make him so absolute , but that God hath still a Right above him , and Power to depose him ; and whenever he doth it , the Right , and Power , which were by Law deriv'd , or secur'd to that King , must then cease , and be null : And therefore ( in my opinion ) let such a King , and his Abetters pretend to what they will , and lay Claim to the Crown as much as they please , by virtue of this and the other Constitution of Government , yet such Claim is quite out of doors , when there is another King de facto ; and the King de facto is King de jure , and claims under a far greater Right ; for it is Jure divino that Kings reign , but it is only Jure humano that they are hereditary , or elective , that there is this or the other sort of Government .

But ambitious minds never thinke they have laid snares and ginnes enough to catch and hold the Vulgar credulity : for by such politique and seemingly-pious stratagems , they think to keep the populacy fast to their Parties under the terrour of perjury : Whereas certainly all honest and wise men ever thought themselvs sufficiently bound , by former ties of Religion , Allegiance , and Laws , to God and Man. Nor can such after-Contracts , devised and imposed by a few Men in a declared Party , without My Consent , and without any like power or precedent from Gods or mans lawes , be ever thought by judicious men sufficient either to absolve or slacken those morall & eternall bounds of duty which lie upon all My Subjects consciences both to God and Me.

summary: This point of State , or rather of Faith , we see the Catholick Roman Religion hath taught every where , and almost made natural ; so that by a Key of Gold , by intelligence , or by way of confession , my Master is able to unlock the secrets of every Prince , and to withdraw their subjects allegiance , as if they knew themselves rather my Master his subjects in truth , then theirs , whom their birth hath taught to miscal Soveraign ; we see this in France , & in England especially , where at once they learn both to obey the Church of Rome , as their Mother , to acknowledg the catholick King as their Father , & to hate their own King as an Heretick and an Usurper ; so we see Religion , and the State are coupled together ; laugh and weep , flourish , and fade , and participate of eithers fortune growing upon one stock of Pollicy : I speak this the more boldly here in this presence , because I speak here before none but Natives , persons who are partakers both in themselves & issues , of these Triumphs of antient Rome , and therefore such as besides their oaths it concerns to be secret ; Neither need we restrain this freedome of speech from the Nuncio his presence , because besides that , he is a Spaniard by birth , he is a Jessuit by profession and order , devised by the providence of Gods Vicar , to accomplish this Monarchy the better , all of them being approriate thereunto ▪ and as publick Agents , and privy Counsellors to this end , whereas the wisdome of this state is to be beheld with admiration , that in temporal Wars , it imployes , or at least trusts none but Natives ; so in Castile , Portugal , or Aragon : so in Spirituals , it imployes none but the Jesuites , and so imployes them that they be generally reputed ▪ how remote soever they be from us , how much soever obliged to others , yet still to be ours , and to be of the Spanish Faction , though they be Polonians , English , French , and residing in these Countries and Courts ; the penitents therefore , and all with whom they deal and converse in their spiritual traffick , must needs be so too , & so our Catholick King must needs have an invisible Kingdome and an unknown number of subjects in all Dominions , who will shew themselves and their Faiths , by their works of disobedience , whensoever we shall have occasion to use that Jesuitical vertue of theirs ; this therefore being the principal end of all our Councils , according to those holy directions of our late pious King Phillip , the second , to his son now surviving , to advance the Catholick Roman Religion , and the Catholick Spanish Dominion together , we are now met by his Majesties Command , to take an account of you ( Signior Gondomor ) who have been Embassadour for England , to see what good you have effected there , towards the advancement of this work , and what further project shall be thought fit to be set on foot to this end , and this is briefly the occasion of our meeting . Bo●emia , now all labouring for life under our plots , apparently manifest this way ; therefore I bend my Engines in England , as your honours shall particularly hear ; Neither should I need to repeat a Catalogue of all the service I have there done , because this State hath been acquainted with many of them heretofore by the intercourse so wrought , that the State should be rather rob'd and weakned ( which is our aim ) then strengthened , as the English vainly hope ; Besides in a small time , they should work so far into the body of the State , by buying Offices , and the like , whether by Sea or Land , of Justice Civil or Ecclesiastical , in Church or State , all being for Mony exposed to sale , that with the help of the Jesuites , they would undermine them with meer wit , without gunpowder , and leave the King but a few Subjects , whose Faiths he might relie upon , whilst they were of a Faith adverse to his , for what Catholick body that is sound at the heart , can abide a Corrupt and Heretical head .

I do acknowledge that the Army hath been in the hand of God and instruments of good to these Nations , yet if they shall apostate from the Cause of God and his people in exposing them to Arbitrary Power , and the wills of men , in taking upon them to Abollish Lawes , raise money without consent of the people , destroy Ministery and property , and force Parliaments , I cannot but witness against such proceedings as unwarrantable not suted to any rule either from God or man .

summary: But after we had sent in the first paper , and understanding from others , that Hawkins varied in his relation , and whereas to us he had only by name accused Master Speaker , and Sir Robert Harlow , saying that many more were equally guilty , and hearing that , to others hee in his relaton said there were ten more specifying a certaine number upon this new intelligence , we conceiving that if he would communicate these things to us which were strangers unto him , hee would much more impart his mind to his familiers and those of his owne faction , and seeing him in the company of many of that way from whose sosiety hee then immediatly came and related those things to us , we verily persvvaded our selves that hee had told them also the same things , and thinking vvith our selves if Hawkins should deny his words as probably hee might , that then we might the better corroberat and strengthen our witnesse with their testimonies , which would also have added great force and life to our information as being men of reputation and of good esteeme and credit in the Parliament , and against whom there could be no just exception or suspition of hatred to that party , they being Independents and no Presbiterians , I say for the strengthening of our witnesse , in the next paper wee sent in to the House , wee put in the names of some of those that were in Hawkins company , as Colonell Iret●● , and Lieutenant Colo●●ll Lilburn , for such was the honour we then bare to them , as we had thought to have had their testimony and witnesse , joyned with ours , ( in case that Hawkins should have jugled with us , or denyed any thing he spake to us ) and truly Colonell Iret●n might as well have pickt a quarrell with none at Lieutenant Colonell Lilburne , if he had beene of a malitious and contentio●s spirit : for all that wee intended by naming of them in the paper presented to the House , was for no other end , but to produce their testimonies with ours , if ( as I said before ) Hawkins should have denyed his words . Others you know will not commit themselves unto men , because they know 〈◊〉 not ▪ and 〈…〉 is very good reason why they should not ; now for my part I doe beleeve that there is no man can ever know the Independents , and therefore they ought to shun them , for they themselves professe , that they keepe a reserve d●●es ad triarior●s redierit res , and tell us that we put them upon too unreasonable a task , to satisfie us in all things they doe or desire : Now when we know them already by all their actions to be disturbers of Church and State , and violaters of all the Lawes of God and humanity , and enemies of all good people , and notorious lyars , and they themselves confesse unto us , that they have yet a reserve of grolleries , they justly ought of all people to be abominated , for they professe openly , we shall never know them : And thus much I thought fit in way of answer , to reply unto John Lilburnes false accusation , and to speak of all the Independents practises .

summary: THE DECLARATION OF The Right Honourable The Duke of BUCKINGHAM , and the Earles of HOLLAND and PETERBOROUGH , &c. FInding this conjuncture to be the proper time , when this wearied Kingdome may be delivered from those miseries , it both hath and may apprehend yet to feel , by such persons , as are il-affected to our peace ; who at this time without authority or Commissions , disperse themselves into all parts , to raise Forces , with no other intention , but to continue a bloudy and intestine war , which may prove dangerous to the whole Kingdome from the assistance they find by the Committees of the severall Counties , who have so abused their power and the people , by an arbitrary way of Government , as they shun and apprehend nothing more then what we shall endeavour and seek , Peace , and a wel-setled Government ; and therefore that the whole Kingdome may be satisfied upon what grounds and principles we go to oppose and prevent this mischief and danger , we do here declare that we do take up armes for the KING and Parliament , Religion and the known Laws , and peace of all His Majesties Kingdomes : professing before Almighty God , that we have no other designe in this undertaking , but to see this well , and speedily established , and will with readines and joy lay them down whensoever God shall give us the injoyment of this blessing , professing that whatsoever may be our successe and prosperity in this good Cause , we shall not say by way of menace to the Parliament , that we will use the power God hath put into our hands , but shall blesse God that he hath made us the instruments to serve the KING , the Parliament and Kingdome in the way of peace , in a just and equall composure between them ; and we hope the City and the Kingdome , will well weigh and consider whether they may not more reasonably and conscionably joyne with us in these pious and peaceable resolutions , then with those Forces that have by their breach of faith , and their disobedience , kept up the Sword , when those that delivered it into their hands , commanded the laying of it downe ; which disobedience hath brought this fresh storm of bloud , that is now falling upon this Kingdome , and all those fears and confusions that Petitions daily shew to be in the thoughts and apprehensions both of the City and the whole Kingdome : we might adde sad circumstances that are of late discovered and broken out concerning HIS MAJESTIES Person , and likewise a confused and levelling undertaking to overthrow Monarchy , and to turn order that preserves all our lives and fortunes into a wild and unlimited confusion ; but we desire not to expresse any thing with sharpnesse , since our ends and pursuit is only peace ; which shall appear to all the world , whensoever we may see a Personall Treaty so begun with His Majesty as we may expect a happy conclusion by it , that cannot follow but by a Cessation of Armes , which in all parts of the world hath accompanied these Treaties , even between the bitterest enemies , Christians & Turks , much more to be expected in these our civill Divisions amongst our selves , for the Sword should not be in action as long as a Treaty of peace is in agitation , since accidents of hostility on both sides will sharpen and divide us rather then close and unite us . This we thought fit both to desire and to declare that the discourses that may be raised upon our actions , may not have power to abuse the Kingdome , as if we did only move in a way to set up His Majesty in a tyrannicall power , rather then in His just Regall government , the which hath been alwaies found in this Nation , very well consistent with the due rights and freedoms of Parliament , the which we do here most faithfully protest the endeavouring a preservation of , and call God to witnesse of our sincerity in this intention .

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 .

summary: For instance , 't is by the Grace of God that our Soveraigne Lord Charles is King of England , Scotland , &c. And in these Kingdomes He constitutes Governours also as he will ; either by His own Nomination or by Naturall Generation , or by the Peoples Election : I know that too , to the end Popes might usurp power over Kings , 't is the Tenent of the Papists , and of the Parliament party , That the King hath his power from the People , and that they may reassume it . Beside his great Councell , the Lords and Commons in Parliament , The Law takes notice of the Kings Power to Sweare unto himselfe a body of Councell of State , ( which our Lawes call sometimes his Grand Councell ) and to sweare unto him all Councellors at Law ; even the Judges , and others learned in the Law , those to advise him in matters of State , these in matters of Justice : And hence is that Maxime in Law , The King can do no wrong ; if any ill be committed in matters of State , the Councell , if in matters of Justice , the Judges must answer for it .

Oppression , Injustice , and Tyranny reigneth ; division , discord , and distimulation fomented and fostered ; Trade and industry discouraged , our Land rent into Parties and Factions , and the common Band of Unity Cancell'd , our fundamental Laws supplanted , High Courts of Justice introduced , the blood of War sh●d in times of Peace ; Arbitrary and illegal imprisonments , Patents , Monopolies , Excise , and other payments brought upon us , and continued contrary to Magna Charta , and the Petition of Right ; no form or face of Government of English Constitution amongst us ; the Name and Athority of the People in Parliament usurped and abused , and the stamp thereof put upon strange and prodigious Actions , vexing and oppressing the People with dayly Changes and Alterations in government , as the Interest of some few ambitious Grandees alter and change , or get advantages one of another , and all under the Name of a Common-wealth , when as the Nature is not practised or intended at all , it being utterly inconsistent with their very temper and interest ; they are wrapt up and compounded of nothing but guilt-blood , and Tyranny ; and equal and common Justice ( the essence of a Common-wealth ) are utterly repugnant thereto ; and whatsoever they can do must be planted and maintained by Sword and violence against the very Heart and Sence of the Nation ; and they know not where or how to centre an Oligarchy , or something they would have to be Masters of the People , and perpetuate their power and Tyranny , and therefore would amaze and confound us with their New Debares of a Coordinate Power , or Senate for Life , such as our English , Laws and Liberties know not of , and of pernicious consequence to this Nation ; so that from these men that thus handle the Stern at Westminster , there is no expectation of any just settlement of Peace , or Freedom from Oppression ; especially considering the Apostacy , Hypocracy , Deceipt , and perjury of those men , their manifold solemn Engagements , Oaths , Vows , Protestations , Appeals unto Heaven ; Promises , Remonstrances , Declarations , all by them broken again and again , never keeping Faith , Truce , or Oath , being unbounded , unlimited , certain to nothing , not to be held either by the Law of God or Man , of Conscience or Reason ; And from such Persons in Government , Good Lord deliver us , and all the good People of England ; and that all this is true of them , your Consciences ( Noble Citizens , and all other the Free-People of England ) can witness , there is no tongue , no pen is able to vindicate them in this point ; it is known of all , owned by all , and can be denied by none ; how then can any honest or just man shed any blood in their Quarrel , or lend them assistance ? surely that blood will be required at their hands , and we doubt not but you will be carefull what you do . And therefore from those Considerations and just provocations , that we have taken up Arms in pursuance of , and Inquisition after our Government , Laws , and Liberties , that every English-man may be protected and secured in his Religion , Liberty , and Property ; and though it may be suggested , that we intend to introduce Prosecution for Conscience into the Land again , we do hereby ( in the presence of Almighty God ) protest and Declare against all Coercive power in matters of Religion , and that to the utmost of our strength ( through Gods assistance ) we will endeavour , to the hazzard of our Blood and Fortunes , the Freedom and Protection of all vertuous and religious People , by what Name soever differenced from us , equal with our selves : and that no forreign , or other Authority , save only the Civil be exercised in England : That the Practise of the Law be reformed ; all corrupt Statutes repealed ; Annual Elections of all Officers and Magistrates , with the constant Succession of Parliaments restored ; our fundamental Laws cleared and asserted ; and whatever is contrary there to be abolished : That no Trials be admitted in England for Life , Limb , Liberty or Estate , but by the good old way of Juries ; and that they be restored to their original power and purity : That all Extrajudicial and Illegal proceedings by High-Courts of Justice , or otherwise , with all Illegal and Arbitrary Committees , be strictly provided against : that the Excise , and all other Payments and Taxes , ( such as our Ancestors never knew of ) together with all Monopolies and Patents destructive to Trade and the Common good of the Nation be also abolished ; And , that our Parliaments and Magistrates be secured from all Force and Violence ; and utterly cleared from all boundlesse Prerogative , and unlimited Priviledge : That the Right of the Poor in the Commons of England , all Donations for Charitable Uses , and all Lands formerly belonging to the People , be restor'd again : And that Mercy and Justice be truly established amongst us .

flesch: -44
summary: whosoever then wold , found a Government which he intends not , shal subject by force ( for if he do it , matters not what he makes it ) might above all things , observe these accidences , which ruind the precedeing state , for every form of Government which crumbles and fals to ruine , by the weakness of its owne pillars , must have a new fabrick , or mend the old , one just in the place , first breake , if it be capable of it , and whosoever shall looke backe into the turnes and revolutions of state ; will find , that all changes in Government have been mending of old frames , or making of new ones , & as Legislators or Senats , have gone to the root of nature in this , have not palliated or patched up the cure , so Nations have been happie or unhappie , free or slaves , governed by force continually , or by consent , and states durable , or short lived , is true , that our unhappiness is that great alterations seldom come without intestine wars , it being hard ( especially in populous and flourishing Cities , to bring the multitude to give so great a power to one man as is necessary to redress a disordered State , and for that men are generally short sighted , and cannot foresee great inconveniences till they are too late to remedy , but by force , this makes the cure oftentimes miscarry , as in the case of the Gracchi at Rome , and of Agis and Cleomenes at Sparta , in both which examples , there was an endeavour to reduce those two excellent States , to their first principles , but it was too late attempted , when the corruption was growne to too great a height , which if they had found , and would have been contented to erect a new form more suitable to the inequalitie of mens estates at that time , they might possiblie have succeeded , if not to have introduced so good and excellent a model as they fell from , yet one able to have prevented the ruine and slaverie which soon after befell both these people ; not to make the business longer , I will instance in the example of our own Nation , the first historie of which , ( it is not esteemed fabolous ) is that we were invaded and conquered by William the Norman , who either ruled by his own will , or made the Law rule , which he gave at his own pleasure ; his French Lords left posteritie behind them , who in process of time grew so rich and powerful , that they did not think it fit to be governed by the discretion of one man , but believed , they might deserve and share in rules themselves , for there is nothing more fundamental by nature , then that those who possess a land will desire , and by all means attempt to govern it , which is the true reason of what was alledged before , viz. ●●pp●e at home , and formable abroad , and historie , which is the best reason in this point , will plainlie shew , that the worst and meanest of commonwealths , have been more rich , powerful and populous , then the same Countrie could ever be under a Prince ; I take the most factious and corrupt estate in storie ; to have been that of Fl●rence , yet did that Common-wealth for many years together give Law to Italy , and when they had war with part of their own Territories , as Pisa , and its Countrie , did for manie thousand yeares maintain sixty thousand men , whereas the same Dominions now under a Duke , with the addition of the state of Sienna , is not able to raise or maintaine twelve thousand men ; for when the present Prince was necessitated in the yeare one thousand six hundred and fourtie three , to make an inconsiderable war against the Pope in companie of Parma , Modena , and the Venetian , and that for but one summer , he was reduced to such extremitie , that he hath been forc'd to sell his Gallies , and whollie to neglect the Sea , and yet those people that are left in his Dominion , are much more opprest by impositions , then in the daies of libertie ; I will not speak of England , because it was never yet a Commonwealth , though it hath past a civill war , and all other sufferings which belongs to a Change , yet this must and will be said , that all those actions of Honour , which our Kings for six hundred years have performed , did not bring more renowne ; nor so much advantage to these Nations , as the atchievements of the same People when they had no Prince , and but the Name only of a free state ; and if for our sins it be decreed that we shal never be so ; I dare almost prophecy that the actions of succeeding Monarchyes wil not outdo , nor perhaps not Equall these , and then Posterity will have leave to thinke , that all the wisedome , valor , and activity of these Nations was not residing in one single person ; but I have dwelt too long upon this , and shall onlie conclude , that if all Kingdomes be neer their period and ruine , when the subjects under them grow rich , wise , and capable of understanding their own good , and contrariwise , that Common-wealths do not decay , but when their people in general grow poore ; and ignorant , and the riches of the Nation comes to be ingrossed by a few , who by that meanes can buy voices to get into command , and then bribe souldiers to uphold them in their ambitious designes , to inslave their Countrie , the povertie and abjectness of the people , making them fit for the impression ; then it must necessarilie follow , that those in whose hand and power it is to settle and establish what form of Government they please , ought to improve that power for erecting a Free State , or a Commonwealth ; this is the case of your Highnesse , who besides your oaths and trust , have this obligation more , that you know , and are perswaded in your conscience , that this is a more excellent form then Monarchie , as you have thousand of times exprest your self , and particularlie in that Declaration which you composed here , and published when you entered the Province of Munster , 1649.

title: The prelatical Cavalier catechized, and the Protestant souldier incouraged. By a missive sent to King Charles in the name of the Protestants beyond seas. Wherein these three questions are resolved. Viz. First, how inconsistent a prelaticall government is with the true Protestant religion, and with the peace and welfare of this kingdome. Secondly, how absolutely necessary it is for King Charles and his associats, to entertain peace with the Parliament at any hand, if ever he hopeth to recover or enjoy any glory or splendour of his royalty. Thirdly, which are the best means King Charles, &c. can use for obtayning an honourable peace for the present, and improving and continuing the same in time to come. Much conducing to encourage and confirme all true Protestants in the truth of the Protestant cause, especially all souldiers that are for King and Parliament. ... Presented to the Honorable Councels of Great Britain, now sitting in Parliament; and the rest of the Kings Majesties subjects. / By Eleazer Gilbert, a minister of Gods Word.

summary: Furhermore , we appeal unto your Highnesse and your Associates ; what ungodly , unjust and preposterous thing it was , that these Bishops Officials , being themselves but Laick men ; neither Prophets , nor perhaps bred in the Schools of the Prophets ; should at their own pleasure , summon up from the furthest corners of your Kingdom ; nay , and not onely so , but punish , suspend , and censure , both the persons and doctrine of your most godly , learned , and orthodox Divines ; if either themselves or their Bishop had conceived the least spleen against them : may not the Proverb be well applied to such unequall and rigid Judges , Sus Minervam ; or may not such reverend men say unto such Laick Bishops , as the Egyptian said to Moses , Who made you a Judge over us ? In one word , if your Highnesse will but with an impartiall eye : behold or survey the stupendious insolencie and corruption of your Bishops Courts and their Officers , these twenty yeers past , &c. you cannot but confesse with us , that they were and are no other then a company of covetous , temporizing Horsleeches come to their Consistories ( not so much to compose and decide differences , and to preserve peace and piety amongst your people ; as to get mony and enrich themselves by the sins of the people : whereas if this charge were committed to godly and conscionable Pastors and Ministers assisted with the Suffrages of their Elders and Deacons ( as it is in the government Presbyteriall all this corruption might be , or at the least , the most part prevented .

summary: And now let us examine the distasts of the souldiery and people together to your Highnesse person , and I doubt we shall finde that the greater their love and admiration once was , the more is now their hatred and your Highnesse danger ; for they both looked upon you as a zealous reformer not only of Tyranny , but of the very causes of it ; and ( though you acted beyond their reasons ) they thought it was because you had more reason then they , and so with an implicite faith they expected from your Highnesse such a settlement , as should recompence their great expence of blood and treasure . But after the spirir had moved you to break your Oathes of allegiance and supremacy ( which you took with all the Members at your first entrance into Parliament ) and after that your trust from the two houses upon the score of the Covenant , and since again to destroy the King , weed the Parliament , and at last ●ear it up by the roots , and they in the end see no other fruits of bloud and perjury , but the giving laws like a Conqueror , and imposing that kind of Government upon the souldiery which they have fought against , and indeed a worse : what can be feared from such a deluded Army and people , but that they should as boldly draw their swords together against a Protector , as the Presbyterians and all sorts of Independents did formerly against the King notwithstanding their own differences in opinion .

summary: Friends , THe Lord God hath committed the Authority of these Nation to you , and hath wonderfully overturned many , that you might again come up , and be tried , as he hath tried many before you , and they have been as chaff before the winde , and hath not answered the end for which the Lord intrusted them ; and therefore did his displeasure wax hot against them , for departing from him and loosing their way , in the dark in going about to root out that in the earth , and from amongst them which had been their defence in time of trouble , and the Rock of their safety in their greatest straights ; and because they would not hearken to the Lords voice to chuse his waies and walk therein , but grew hardned through the deceitfulness of sin , slighted the Lords warnings till he overturned them , that you might once more be tried ; now therefore beware what you do , and tempt not God as they did , nor provoke not the Lord to wrath against you , by doing that towards his beloved people , for which the Lord will not hold you or them giltless : take heed how you grieve the spirit of the Lord , by standing up to vindicate that which is for destruction : If then the power or name be that to which every knee or thing in heaven and earth must or ought to bend , Phil. 2.10 . then they whose souls are hereto made subject , worship the Lord in spirit , and cannot worship the workmanship of mens hands , nor yet mens persons , but commit sin , and yet can truly honour all men in the Lord , for the Lords sake so now come to rule in the Authority and Power of God , that in the Lord we may you honour , and be cautions at what you stumble , that truth and righteousness may be cherished , and all deceit and wickedness quite discouraged : Take heed to your selves , least in the steps of those that went before you , you be found ( with whom the Lord was displeased ) and broke to pieces ; think not to your selves you shall be established , if you be found hindring the Lords work ; for except your righteousness exceed the righteousness of those that was before you ( whose mercy was cruelty ) you shall not escape the vengeance ; the Lord will not be mocked by you , who make mention of his name ; what you sow that shall you reap ; and if examples to these Nations , you stand in all righteousness , meekness , justice and mercy , and every good work , a blessing to them shall you be , for want of which the world hath abounded with all manner of wickedness , because the Governours thereof was out of the Lords fear , and abounded in folly , and was examples in pride , and encouragers of the wicked in every place , even like unto those the Lord God cast out before them , imitating their heathenish waies and customes ; yea , and those same things that they cried out of in the zeal of their spirits , when they grew great , did they again establish , and thereby grievously vexed the righteous , and became persecutors of those who could not bow to their Apostacy , and for this cause the Lord did not establish nor bless them , because their hearts was darkned , and they given up to believe lies : God hath tried them , and they are fallen as example to you , that you may not sin as they did ; therefore be wise and quit your selves like men , that you may be honoured in doing that which all before you hitherto have refused to do ; consider the great oppression of the filthy proceedings of the Laws of this Nation , and the vexatious covetous Lawyers , who make merchandize of men for moneys , who with others sell their filthy lies at to dear a rate , to the undoing of many ; and consider the oppression of the Ministry of England , and their forced maintenance , the suffering of the Lords people from themward , hath been cruelty without mercy , as hundreds can witness ; and consider well of the hard measure the Lords people have received from many that are and have been in Authority in this Nation , because they could not put off their hats , swear , lie , and for going to their peaceable meetings , with other things too tedious here to mention .

summary: Add hereunto , that this Grant was but a meer preambular Proposition , 't was not of the essence of the Treaty it self : And as the Philosophers and Schoolemen tell us , there is no valid proof can be drawn out of Proemes , Introductions or Corallaries in any science , but out of the positive assertions and body of the Text , which is only argument-proof ; so in the Constitutions and Lawes of England , as also in all accusations and charges , forerunning prefaces and preambles ( which commonly weak causes want most ) are not pleadable : and though they use to be first in place , like gentlemen-Ushers , yet are they last in dignity , as also in framing , nor had they ever the force of Lawes , but may be term'd their attendants to make way for them . As for example : A man of war meets with a Marchant man at Sea , he makes towards him , and assaults him ; The Marchant man having a good stout vessell under him , and resolute generous Seamen , bears up against him , gives him a whole broad side , and shoots him 'twixt wind and water ; so there happens a furious fight betwixt them , which being ended , the Marchant cannot deny but that the man of war , though the first Assailant , was necessitated to fight , and that justly in his own defence , which necessity he drew upon himself , and so was excusable , à posteriori , not à priori ; As the Civilians speak of a clandestine marriage , Fieri non debuit , sed factum valet ; It ought not to have been , but being done 't is valid : whereunto relates another saying , Multa sunt quae non nisi peracta approbantur .

summary: Not Rational , since it forces the partyes suing to a strange piece of immodest hypocrisy , to desire a man to certify of their godliness when it may be their own hearts sting them and tell them the contrary ; and ingage the party certifying to a strange presumption , to give testimony of a mans heart , which is the seat and root of godliness , and of a mans actions ( and that positively , whereas all Laws do onely admit testimonies of that nature , negatively ) whereas many of the most horrid Crimes may be committed in the dark , and t is the nature of guilt to avoid as much as she can the eyes of men . From hence I believe it rose ( though I cannot but conceive abundance of consciencious and discreet men joined with them upon other grounds ) that they voted none capable of place , who was not Godly , a word of that latitude , that it signifies all things to all men , different religions having brought men into such a high distemper , that men do now accustome themselves to reckon it according to what themselves judge and opinion , not according to the conversation and practice of another ; So it was easily perceivable , that those Gentlemen that were so forward in it , were not without design to seclude such other as were not of their Cloath .

summary: But here is first , an impossibility to that end , as who can discover a mans heart ? who a mans ways ? who can judge that a Convert is reall , or absolutely assure himself , that another man is not an hypocrite ? for things of another mans bosom is matter of the nicest scruple in the World ; and an exact hypocrite may deceive the most cautious and nice Counsail that can be made among men . And truely in my apprehension this is done at this season , and though you seem to stare at it , as being unwilling to acknowledge that his hand is wise and powerfull , yet methinks it were an argument wortheir of an Atheist , to say , that irregular actions proceed from a carelessnesse above , than for a Christian to imagin that his designations in the altering the affairs of any State should not tend to a bettering of that State , and that that power into which he puts it , is not , in his mind , more fit and proper to manage it than that from which he took it ; for if a Fly fall not to the ground without his consent , I beseech you what shall we consider of his care in the disposition of Millions of men , things of his own image , without a high disbelief and contempt of his providence ?

summary: It being by the same rule as lawfull for the supreame Magistrate to demand twenty shillings or twenty pounds , if he see cause , out of every mans Estate , as one penny or any other summe , because by the Grand Charter of England , and severall other Lawes then in force , nothing ought to be leavied upon the subject , but by and with the consent of the people in Parliament : I say these things are so fresh in memory , that I shall not need to stir those embers any further that have kindled such a fatall fire in the bowels of these divided and distracted Nations . But the Dutch dissipating them , diverted the storme , and left England destitute of that proof of their designe ; which if it had taken , we have cause to believe that pretended peace patcht up with the Scots , had not been so soon made : but being put upon new Councells , and that forraign assistance failing , they feared to rely upon the strength of their Army ; ( which though as to men gallant and numerous , ) yet being somewhat divided , and all England behinde them in feares , the appearance of the Spaniard as aforesaid having put men upon consideration ; lest the designe should appeare both to the King and his people , I say a peace is patcht up , the Army disbanded , and a Parliament called , by the expectation whereof the people began a little to be quieted , in hopes that by those Physitians the nation might be cured of all its distempers .

summary: Secondly , The designation of Persons to administer , and the Rules and Laws by which that administration is to be guided ; and this is left to Men , God not using now immediately to impose particular Governors or Magistrates upon Societies of Men ; or limit them to his judicial Laws , as was his dealing with the Jews , whose Government Josephus and other Authors acknowledge to be a Theocratia , or a Government immediately from God : They had their Magistrates , Judges , and Kings , by Gods immediate appointment ; They could neither Enact Laws , appoint Governors , nor make War or Peace , but by express and immediate command from God : Paul calls Magistracy an Ordinance of God ; Peter stiles it an Ordinance of man ; which seeming discrepancy is thus reconciled : But the choosing or appointing Officers , and the making of Laws , is left to men , and is the Ordinance of man , and can onely be called the Ordinance of God , in that ( when men proceed righteously therein ) it is owned and approved of by him .

summary: The King did lay to their charge that they had a design to alter the Ancient Governments of the Nation , and to let a flood of errours and heresies into the Church , and that thereupon he was forced to take up armes for his own defence , and the defence of Religion ; and now if these men do indeed alter the Government , as they intend to do ; and do set open a door to all Errors and Heresies , as they have begun to do ; do they not thereby justifie the King before God and men ( for whoever yet questioned but that it was lawful for a King to defend Religion , and his just Authority against those that seek to subvert them ) and do they not hereby bring upon themselves the guilt of all the blood that hath been shed in England , and we are very loath you should share with them in that guilt . These things make us fear ; but when we consider that these Declarations were made by you when you were in Scotland , or in the remotest parts of England , where you neither did nor could know the sense of the English Nation ; we hope that now God hath brought you among us , where you may hear the sighs and groans of your Brethren , and from our own mouthes understand what we groan under , and what we groan after , God may put other thoughts , and other resolutions into your heart then what you have yet published or declared to the world .

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 ?

This is not a reproof of the sword taken for just defence , but of the sword taken for unjust oppression , and a comfort to those that ●…re oppressed by it ; for Origen , Theophylact , Titus , Euthimius , interp●●● the meaning to be , That Christ doth not rebuke Peter for using defensive Arms , but to let Peter know that he need not snatch Gods Work out of his hand ; for God would in due time punish those with the sword , that came thus with the sword against him ; and that these words are a Prophesie of the punishment which the Roman sword should enact of the bloudy Jewish Nation ; according with the like expression , Revel. 13. 10.

summary: The unparallel'd Mercies of her God are undervalued and forgotten by her ; therefore is he drawing near in judgement against her ; for the sins of Sodom are found to be within her , and the Cry of Blood pursues her . But let your minds be staid upon the Principle of God which he hath placed in your consciences : Be still ( I say ) in your minds , and come into calmness ; let the loftiness of man be laid low , and wait in silence upon the living God ; listen and encline your ear unto his still voice , that is it which moves to holiness , mercy , and moderation .

Where then is the evill for which the Parliament must be so scourged by all sort of hands ? why did we engage them so studiously to wipe off that Rust , which began to eate so deep into the letter of our lawes , and all our possessions ? and to make new purchases for us of all our estates ? if now being assembled they cannot discerne what and where those lawes are to be found , by the luster and power of which they they should act all this for us .

summary: These undoubted Rights , Franchises and Liberties , and that our Knights and Burgesses ought to enioy their ancient Priviledges and Freedom , and to be present at all binding Votes and Ordinances , we do here claim and challenge as our Birth-right and Inheritance , not only from his Maiesty , but from both the Houses of Parliament now sitting , who have in sundry printed Remonstrances , Declarations and Protestations , and in the Solemn League and Covenant , oft times promised and seriously vowed and covenanted , in the presence of Almighty God , inviolably to maintain and preserve the same , and to bring the Infringers of them to condign and exemplary punishment , and have engaged all the wel-affected Free-born people of England , by like solemn Protestations , Leagues and Covenants , to maintain and defend the same with their lives and estates : And therefore we at this present not only humbly desire but also require both the said Houses and every Member of them , even in point of Justice , Besides we cannot but with deepest grief of soul and spirit complain , that contrary to these our undoubted Rights and Priviledges , many of our faithfullest Knights and Burgesses , whom we duly chose to consult and vote for us in Parliament , have through the malice , practise and violence of divers mutinous and Rebellious Souldiers in the Army ; and some of their Confederates in the House , without our privity or consents , or without any just or legal cause , for their very fidelity to their Country , for things spoken , done and voted in the Houses , maintaining the Priviledges of Parliaments and opposing the Armies late mutinous , Rebellious , Treasonable and Seditious Practises , been most falsly aspersed , slandered , impeached , and forced to desert the House and Kingdom too ; others of them arrested and stayed by the Army , and their Officers , without any warrant or Authority : others of them suspended the House before any Charge and Proofs against them ; others expelled the House , and imprisoned in an Arbitrary and Illegal manner , when most of the Members were forced thence by the Armies violence , without any just cause at all , or any witnesses legally examined face to face , and without admitting them to make their just defence as they desired : And that divers Lords and Members of the House of Peers have likewise been impeached of High Treason , sequestred that House , and committed to Custody , only for residing constantly in the House , and acting in , and as an House of Parliament , ( for which to impeach them of Treason , is no lesse then Treason , and so resolved in the Parliaments of 11.

summary: yet may it be recalled again , but never at the Ministers will and pleasure ( which at sometimes is incident to authority ) but by the contrition and repentance of the obstinate party publikely promising , and vowing his amendment , upon which evidence the Minister may pronounce his absolution receiving him again into the bosome of the Church , and admitt him againe into the Communion of Saints , and this sentance is likewise ratifyed in Heaven , If the parties repentance be unfained and sincere , which notwithstanding may be hypocriticall and dissembled in him , albeit he doth refraine and forbeare from the performance of that wherein he gave the offence and scandall , and doth moreover proceede to amendment of his life , not onely in that particular , but doth walke unblameably and without any deserved reproofe from the judgment of men in all other , howsoever upon a visible purpose of amendment , the Minister not onely may , but must receive him againe into the bosome of the Church , and admit him againe into the holy Communion with others , so that nothing is left to the will of the Minister , nor to the finall judgement of the Minister , but all is referred to the will and knowledge of God , and where will and knowledge are excluded , their Authority is wanting , and though much may be effected and brought to passe by them , yet whatsoever is effected deserves not the name as differing from the nature of Authority : and the Ministers of Christ having no Authority in those things wherein they cannot ere so long as they follow the cleare light revealed in Scripture , they can much lesse have any Authority for such things which flow from their owne Invention , nor can they inforce obedience by any spirituall meanes or censures of the Church , unto any thing whereof they themselves are Authors , when no spirituall meanes are compulsive in regard of the Instrument that must apply them , and whatsoever efficacy or vertue they have , yet may they never be applyed for the inforcing of any thing whereof man is Author , for then it would follow that the will of man or something proceeding from the will of man would be a rule to the Justice of God , when one man must be as a Publican , or Heathen and consequently uncapable of the fruits of Christs death , for disobeying onely the will , or something depending upon the will of another , which no man dares to affirme , and having no compulsive meanes to inforce obedience , they can have no legislative power of making of cannons and constitutions binding to the conscience , for a law without a penalty or power sufficient to inforce it , is no law , nor neede they have any such power , for such a power is not conducible at all to that end of Religion which is committed to them , & to their care and paines , but is destructive to the end of government ; for Religion hath a two fold end , the one respecteth God , the other man , the end of religion in respect of God is to glorify God , that man who was therefore created to glorify his Maker should by a true knowledge of the true God glorify him aright , and the end of religion in respect of man , is to bring a man from all confidence in himselfe or the creature , to rely upon the Providence and goodnesse of God who is the Creator , to the end he may renounce his own righteousnesse to be made partaker of the merits and Righteousnesse of the Sonne of God , the Redeemer of Mankinde , that by faith in him he may obtaine grace and some measure of sanctification in this life , for the remission of sinnes , and fruition of Glory hereafter : and for this end of religion no humane lawes do contribute any thing at all , for unto this the Scriptures are sufficient being compleate in themselves , and the chiefe duty of the Ministers of the Gospell is to explaine and expound the true meaning of scripture to others , for doing whereof they should be learned in all necessary learning and skilfull , as also have a lawfull Calling by a lawfull Ordination , and for which it is very fit that they be set apart from all other imployment , and have a sufficient maintenance that they may the better attend that to which they are called ; but for the other end to glorify God , humane lawes doe contribute much , but they are required of Christian Kings and Magistrates , and not of Christian Ministers , for God did from the begining put Authority into the hands of the Magistrate , and endowed them with effectuall meanes for inforcing of obedience to what should be commanded by them , so did he never in the hands of the Priests and Levites under the Law , nor of the Apostles under the Gospell , and by consequence into the hands of no Ministers whatsoever succeeding them , and God doth require of the Magistrate to improve his Authority ( which is the talent that God hath given him ) for the gaining of others by force and compulsion , ( when no other meanes will prevaile ) to the performance of those dutyes that are required of them , as he requires of all who are called to labour in the Ministeriall function and office , to imploy their gifts and graces ( which are the talents bestowed upon them ) painfully and dilligently for the enlightning of the understanding of others , whereby every exalted thought and imagination may be brought downe , which the Magistrates Power and Authority can never reach , for the Power of the Magistrate reacheth no further then to the outward life & conversation , when the operation of the Ministry subdueth the will , and therefore the principall care of the Magistrate is and ought to be to enforce men to live uprightly and justly as they ought to doe , for by so doing men glorify God , but this is not all , the glory that is to be performed by man to God , for besides there must be a ready submission to the Will of God , springing from a perfect love to God , and grounded upon an assured confidence of Gods love to us , which may be begotten and kindled in a man , but can never be inforced , and to this duty tendeth the Ministers paines and labour , but it is and ought to be the Christian Magistrates care to provide for all that can onely be introduced by force and compulsion in the Service of God , wherefore the severall ends of Magistracy and of the Ministry are different but not contrary , but the severall meanes by which they attaine their ends are not onely different but contrary , and those meanes which are effectuall to the one , are not only ineffectuall but uselesse to the other , for the Magistrate can never attaine that end to which his Authority conduceth by no perswation nor information onely , nor can the Minister subdue the will nor informe the understanding by any Authority from or in himselfe , and both of them have their Commission immediately from God , and each of them are subject to the other without any subordination of offices from the one to the other , for the Magistrate is no lesse subject to the operation of the word from the mouth of the Minister then any other man whatsoever , and the Minister againe is as much subject to the Authority of the Magistrate as any other Subject whatsoever , and therefore though there be no subordination of offices , yet is there of Persons , the Person of the Minister remaining a Subject , but not the function of the Ministry , but there needes not two Tribunalls nor Independent Courts be erected to provide for their severall ends and dutyes required of them , for the Minister can never attaine the end of his labours , by no Judiciall processe nor legall proceedings whatsoever , and therefore all Judiciall courts are needelesse and uselesse to his ends , yet are they not so to himselfe having other ends then what are required of him for the discharge of his duty and function , but it is essentiall to the Magistrate to have a tribunall and judiciall Courts , for the attaining of his ends and duties required of him , without which he can never discharge his dutie as he ought , but whensoever the like Tribunall is erected in the Church as is necessary in the State , they must be Independent one of another in regard the severall offices governing Church and State are so , but all that is to be got by Independant Tribunalls , is either dissention and discord , which is the usuall fruite that devision of Authority beareth , or by compliance to provide for one anothers Interests , or particular ends differing from their publick dutyes , with the manifest losse of true religion on both sides , which many times drawes downe the Judgment of God upon one or both , as being a third person no lesse interressed in Justice and Honour then either , and many times the Justice of God is most greeveous when least apprehended , as suffering men to wallow in their sins to dye in security , nor is it a small Judgment to leave men to the necessary effects , which division of Authority produceth : for the end of all government is the preservation of humane society , the meanes of doing whereof is by union and unity , and Authority is the effectuall meanes of producing and propagating unity ? and therefore whensoever Authority is divided , Vnitie may alwaies , and sometimes must admit of division which destroyes it , for unity and division are destructive one of another , and when two Tribunalls are erected for the determining of severall and different causes and crimes , both armed with a forcible Authority , weilding swords of a different nature , agreable to their different constitutions , and without any dependency and subordination the one to the other , what lasting concord and agreement can there be beweene these two , they that mannage them must be juster then men are knowne to be , or advantages will be taken when given by the one , ( as no sublunary substances which are subject to change can remaine long in an equall ballance ) for subjecting the other ; and therefore it was , when the Christian world did by a generall consent beleeve that the Church having a sword though invisible , for the cutting off of all schismaticall and refractory Members , no lesse really and truly then the State hath a visible materiall sword , which for the preservation of union and unity , was esteemed necessary to be put into the hands of one , and therefore willingly submitted their necks , under the Imaginary stroake thereof , from the sentence of Popes , or Bishops of Rome ; How easie was it for them by reason therof to subject all Christian Princes and Magistrates unto a dependency and subordination unto them and their Authority , and how did they trouble the Christian world , by transferring of rights and stirring up of rebellion whensoever any of those Princes did oppose them , or contradict their wills by a supposed Intrenching upon their pretended Prerogatives though usurped ▪ but when the Popes right began to be questioned by some , whereby his reputation did decline , even amongst those who adhearing still to the doctrine of the Church of Rome as to that in which they had beene educated and bred , yet did not beleeve his censures to be so dreadfull as before they apprehended them to be ; but the edge of his sword being thereby blunted , and the edge of the temporall sword being not onely visible but sharpe , the advantage returned to Princes , whereby those Princes who continued in union with the Church of Rome , professing subjection and obedience to the spirituall Authority thereof , doe notwithstanding now reduce that power and Authority to which they professe subjection , unto a subordination of them and their Authority to be directed by them , which will be of no longer permanency , then that Church can insnare the world againe to an apprehension and beleife of the reality of their power , to beget which they continually indeavour and aspire , and have no small hopes from the differences and divisions amongst Protestants , for the increasing and fomenting whereof it is not to be imagined that they are idle ; but whatsoever their hopes and practises are , their greatest strength remaineth in this , that it is generally beleeved that the Church hath a spirituall Authority for the cutting off of all schismaticall Members , and that this Authority is to be preserved in some one forme or other without any derivation thereof from any humane power , for then it cleerely and undoubtedly followeth , that whosoever by such principles of reason taken from the end of government doth incline to Monarchy , and that this spirituall Authority can best be preserved by the Supremacy of one man , then the Bishops of Rome , having had for a long time , and for a long succession , and still having the possession , besides other advantages of greatnesse and power which begetteth strength and reputation , must and will be acknowledged by all those to be the onely spirituall Monarch in the Church armed with spirituall Authority ; and whosoever out of prejudice against the Church of Rome , taken against her by reason of either her errours or abuses , or both , doth seperate themselves from the Communion of that Church , and by consequence onely free themselves from her subjection , but doe notwithstand adheare to and retaine the grounds of those errours and abuses , by acknowledging and beleeving that the same spirituall Authority ( which was presupposed to have beene abused by the Popes and Bishops of Rome as Vsurpers onely over the rest of the Clergy , or too great a power and consequently dangerous in the hands of any one man ) is not onely lawfull but necessary as being Inherent in the function , and essentiall for the preservation of union and unity , to be preserved in some other forme which they agree upon and like better then the incontrollable Supremacie of one man , then this doth necessarily follow , that albeit they free themselves from all the errours and abuses which were introduced by the Supreamicie of one man , yet so long as they acknowledge that the same power and Authority is resident in others , they can never free themselves of all errours and abuses which are introducible by Authority , but that the property and condition of things in themselves indifferent will be changed from being indifferent and converted into the nature and necessity of absolute duties , which ever begets bondage and subjection , and sense of bondage doth ever beget desire of liberty , which can never be obtained so long as the opinion of a necessity of Authority in some forme or other is retained ; and experience hath now taught us , what could not be foreseene by reason alone , without some additionall helpe from divine illumination , that in the Church of England which did not onely shake off the Supreamicie of the Pope , but had purged her selfe of all those errours which had either crept in , or were introduced by the power of that Supreamicie , by retaining of Bishops , and giving them a part onely of that spirituall Authority , which formerly was acknowledged to Popes , and though quallifying that part by restraining it from all legislative power , or a power to inact any thing , but allowing it a Power of Iudicature , the effectuall operation and proper working of that part of spirituall Authority , hath now fully manifested it selfe to tend to propogate superstition and errour ▪ rather then the sincerity and truth of Religion ; and as the naturall motions of different bodies , differing in quality and substance tend to different centers , the naturall motion of Episcopacy , hath now discovered it selfe to indeavour continually to unite it selfe to such a head to which it is capable to aspire , rather then to be in subjection under such a head to which it hath no capacity to aspyre , and that received principle of State , that Episcopacy , is a support to Monarchy , is now likewise discovered to be fraudulent and deceitefull , for it is true that it is a support to a spirituall Monarchy or Monarchy in the Church , as being the basis and foundation thereof , but doth undermine and destroy Monarchy in the State , especially in that State which doth trust unto it as to a supporter , and the reason is cleere , for all supporters which have no solid foundation , doe ruinate those buildings , which are erected upon them being of greater weight and substance then the foundation can beare , and the foundation of Episcopacy being layed in the engrossing of spirituall Authority or Ecclesiasticall censures ; Spirituall Authority it selfe hath no other existence nor being , but what it hath in the Imagination and beleefe , which is too slippery a ground to support a solid substance , such as temporall Monarchy is , but may be sufficient to support an aery and imaginary bulk , such as spirituall Monarchy is , which Episcopacy not only supports , but continually tends towards as to its proper center , and my Lord of Cant. By which means , an equall allegiance should have been payed to them as to the King and his Successors for ever : And all this was presented to the blinded world , and abused King , as a remedy to secure men against any suspicion of revolt to Popery , which was nothing else but a publick setting up of Popery , though not yet of the Popes supremacy , which was to follow ; and imploying the help and assistance of the Magistrates Sword , and the force and power of the Laws of the Land to that very use and end ; For Popery consisteth neither in this or that superstition nor Idolatry , nor in this or that erroneous Doctrine , nor in all-together , principally and chiefly ; but in the absolutenesse of spirituall authority commanding Implicite obedience , to whatsoever Doctrine or Superstition shall be invented by man , as necessary and essentiall to the true worship of God , under the threatned pain and penalty of Excommunication and Interdiction , and promising the kingdome of heaven to whomsoever it pleaseth , as a gift or reward within the power of man : and the assumption of which so divine and incompetent a power to any man or mankind united together , and the deriving thereof from one solely to others , as inherent in the person or function of one onely , doth necessarily inferre and presuppose the gift of Infallibility in him who doth so assume it , that he may become an unappealable Judge , which doth exalt him , in the sight and esteeme of those men who do beleeve in him , and willingly submit unto him , to the nature and dignity of the incommunicable prerogative of God , and makes him undeniably the revealed Antichrist to others , by usurping and possessing the throne of Christ upon earth , for whom onely , such dominion and authority is reserved in heaven .

Then if those Delinquents get the King to Protect them , or surreptiously get Commands of him , to Raise Arms to Shelter themselves against the Iudgement of the two Houses ; the two Houses have Power by the Law to Raise not onely the Posse Comitatus of those Counties where such Delinquents are ▪ to apprehend them ; but also the Posse Regni , the Power of the whole Kingdom if need be ; or else the Power of Punishment is not in their hands according to Law , and it would be safer contemning and scorning and opposing the highest Iudicatory , the Parliament , then any Inferiour Court , a Judge of Assize , or the like : and they that could get Commands to Violate the Law before , would easily get Protection against the Parliament when they are Questioned , if the Parliament had no Power to Raise Arms to suppresse them .

summary: One of the opposers said , that there was but three waies to come to government , Election of people , Birth , and Conquest ; it is evident there is a fourth , which is best of all , and that is Gods choice ; so Moses was made a ruler by God over Israel , or not so at all ; if he had been made so by the people they would never have said to him as some said then as now , ye take too much upon you , who made thee a Ruler and Judge over us ? Act. Some have laid down their Commissions , several have condemned Government and Governors , and cursed them , some have preached against them , and written against them , and called to God against it and them , many have consulted and plotted against them , tumults have been gathered together , and armed men have risen in several places in one time , notwithstanding it stands and they against all opposition , no weapon formed against it prospers , God hath wholly withdrawn himself from their prayers as against the Government and Governors , the enemies are disappointed and confounded ; God is Lord of Hosts , he by his strength stilleth the tumults of the people , Psal. 65 6 , 7. He setteth the bounds of the people , Deut.

summary: If ( fellow Souldiers ) you intend to be ruled by the Scripture , let me put you a Scripture-case ; in Sauls seeking to make havocke of the Gibeonites , contrary to the Oath given them , you may observe , how this Oath was obtained by fraud , and a lye ; that it was expresly against the Covenant of Promise given to Abraham , Isaac , and Jacob , and afterwards to Moses , Aaron , and the people ; that it was given rashly without asking counsell of God , and to a people by Nation heathens , by Religion Idolaters , and by condition vassals , to be drawers of water and hewers of wood ; that what Saul did was at the least 300 yeares after the Oath given , in which time that Oath may seeme to some to be antiquated ; and that he did it in zeale to the people of Israel ; I tremble to thinke what the event of these things may be though we have hitherto escaped the sword , I pray God that a Serpent out of the wall doe not bite us : If it were taken so ill that the late Lord Archbishop of Canterbury , and some other Counsellors of State should alter the Kings Oath in some circumstances ( the substance of the Oath still remaining ) how ill will it be taken that we should rise in armes to force the Kings conscience against this Oath ? but admitting it had been but a private Oath , nay if a wicked Oath , and his Majesties conscience had led him to take and defend the same , what Doctrine is there in the Scripture that inables the subjects to rise in rebellion against him for it ? we may now see the Scaene of the Churches stage strangely altered ; the Church , and true Religion formerly suffered persecution by the tyranny of Kings ; but now Kings ( yea pious Kings ) suffer persecution by the tyranny of Religion : these these and such like arguments are those rocks upon which the Royall party hath built their judgement ; who , although they be overcome by the sword , are not yet vanquished in their cause ; for which they make their appeales to heaven , and call God and man to witnesse their innocency , rejoycing in nothing more , then that there will be a day of Judgement , when the righteous , and impartiall Judge shall judge both them , and us according to the justice and innocency of the cause : in the meane time , now that God hath done with them , who knowes 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 he may begin with us , and call us to an accompt ?
