  From consideration of these things , it is evident and clear as Sun shine ; That if such a Supremacie be allowed to our Kings , then they shall have Power to introduce Corruptions in our Religion by a Corrupt Clergy , to raise constant Schisms in our Church , to nourish and Foment a Spirit of Animositie and Persecution by one party of Clergy against another , to the great reproach of our Religion , and danger of our State ( as past experience may teach us ) finally they shall have power to dissolve and unhing our Church , by depriving Her of all means necessary , for establishing and preserving of Order and Discipline without which no Society can subsist .

summary:
  What the priviledges of Parliament are , i● another great question , i● under the tearme be comprised the King , the Lords and Commons , the question may be better made , what is not within the power and priviledge of Parliament , for 't is on all hands confessed that the common-wealth may di●pose of it selfe ; but if the King be divided from them , what are then priviledge● ? truly none at all , if they cannot make a t●mporary provision to ●ave themselves without the Kings licence ; for take away safety , and priviledge is gone ; If they be safe , yet if it be better knowne to their adversaries then themselves , and that the continuance be at disc●et●on and good pleasure of another , if any be a more competent Iudge of their safety then them●elves they have no priviledge at all , say what they will . Nor can it possible be that both houses have power to preserve the body of the kingdom which they repres●nt , if there not be an inherent e●sentiall and underived authority in ●h●t assembly to preserve it selfe ( ●is granted in the P●inces minority , absence , or incap●ssity to gove●ue , the power to preserve and provide for the state , rests in the great counsell , and their diligates , doubtlesse the case is the s●me , if it be on like manner granted that the P●ince is divided from the body of his people ●y evill counsell ( to prove if the counsell be good or bad , examine the legali●y , it appeares in his Maiesties expres●es : and that of most remarke , is to declare law ( which being denied to the great counsell , must needs be taken to reside in the King and his privie counsell ) To have sole managing of the arms of the kingdome . It hath beene the generall beliefe of this Nation ( ●pon what reason I cannot judge ) that the designe of his Majesties late father King James was to wynde up this government ●o the height of France , the better to ho●d correspondence with forraig● Princes , whose power encreasing their riches , and both together their reputation , it was a shame to be left behind , but finding the times averse , and being the best Astrologer in the world what the successe should be of ●i● owne actions , he betooke himselfe to the ●atisfactions of his age which he could acquire , and left the complement of this to his Majestie that now is● in whose person were concurrent a title indubitable , setled by a succession , and the activitie and glory that is insepa●able to youth , and the fresh assu●ption to the Throne of three Kingdoms .

  Royalty and loyalty or A short survey of the power of kings over their subjects: and the duty of subjects to their kings. Abstracted out of ancient and later writers, for the better composeing of these present distempers: and humbly presented to ye consideration of his Ma.tie. and both Howses of Parliament, for the more speedy effecting of a pacification / by Ro: Grosse dd: 1647

summary:
  For hence it is that S. Peter calleth a King , {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , the ordinance of man : which is not so to be understood , Causally , as if it were excogitated or invented by men ; but Subjectively , because it is exercised by men ; and Objectively , because it is versed about the government of humane society ; and then Finally , because it is constituted by God for the good of men , and the conservation of humane policie . For the word {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} doth recall us to God , as to the first Author of authority : and although Kings are created by men , that is , erected , anointed , and inaugurated by them ; yet the first Creator of Kings is God , to whom all creation doth appertaine , and from whom all power doth come .

  The defence of the Parliament of England in the case of James the II, or, A treatise of regal power and of the right of the people drawn from ancient councils ... and more especially the ordinances of the doctors of the Church of Rome ... : wherein is demonstrated that the Holy Scriptures are so far from being contrary, that they do even assent thereto / written in Latin by P. Georgeson, Kt. ; translated by S. Rand.

summary:
  And indeed if any one , who is not prejudiced , shall peruse Ecclesiastical History , he stall find , that the primitive Christians , who were eminent for Authority and power , did no less exercise it , than those now a dayes : besides the Christians of the first th●ee Cent●ries did not stop the cariere of Tyrants by force of Arms , but by their Christian and vertuous Piety ; not that God would have them divested of that authority the Law of Nature granted to all Nations , but it so seemed good to his Wisdom , that he might instruct all Nations , that Christs Kingdom was Spiritual , and that the World was to be brought under his dominion only by Spiritual Warsare ; but when the World was subdued to Christ , the Church scattered ●ar and wide over the face of the whole Earth , then it became very like to the Net in the Gospel , that inclosed abundance of good and bad Fish . First , Th●t the King is obliged by an Oath not to permit the Catholick Faith to be violated or infringed ; the other is , That in case he shall be found a violator of this same p●omise , that he shall incur the censure of Anathema , lie and all his complices and adherents .

  Anglo-tyrannus, or the idea of a Norman monarch, represented in the paralell reignes of Henrie the Third and Charles kings of England, wherein the whole management of affairs under the Norman kings is manifested, together with the real ground, and rise of all those former, and these latter contestations between the princes, and people of this nation, upon the score of prerogative and liberty. And the impious, abusive, and delusive practises are in short discovered, by which the English have been bobbed of their freedome, and the Norman tyrannie founded and continued over them. / By G.W. of Lincolnes Inne.

summary:
  And no doubt but Kings were so crafty as to perswade them No King , no Bishop , heretofore , to heighten their zeal to the Royall cause , as Prelats of late have stiffened them with No Bishop , no King , in obstinacy for Prelacy ; yet these later have been Prophets against their wils , at their fall , who in their jollity had little or no will to be Preachers , and were so effectuall in their doctrine , that they confirmed their calling to be jure divino , though Scripture was never so clear against it , in the Royall conscience , to whom a Crown and Scepter must appear most sacred . And yet let us but look a litttle further than the gilded , and embroydered superficies , and we shall perceive that these Lordlings estate was but even by so much more free , and happy than the Commons , by how much that King of Cypresses condition was bettered , when his Iron shackles and chains were converted into silver fetters : they enjoyed a little more gaudie servitude , and to speak to the capacity of our Countryman were as the Fore-horses in the teame , which though they weare , the Feather , and have the Bels about their eares , yet must draw themselves as well as those that follow ; nay and if they did seem unwilling to lead , they were sure to be lash'd by the Royall Carters till the bloud came , and have their gay trappings to boot pul'd over their eares : and this the wise and generous of them knew , and often endeavoured to remedy , but were still prevented by the envy and jealousie one of another , which was created and cast in among them by their Kings , as partly will appeare in the following story .

  Jus populi, or, A discourse wherein clear satisfaction is given as well concerning the right of subiects as the right of princes shewing how both are consistent and where they border one upon the other : as also, what there is divine and what there is humane in both and whether is of more value and extent.

summary:
  For t is not by us questioned whether powers are from God or no ; but whether they are so extraordinarily from God , as that they have no dependence upon humane consent . T is true it proved afterwards fatall to Lot , that he did disjoyne from Abraham , and it had been farre more politick and advantagious for both of them perhaps , if they had incorporated one with another : but the question is not whether it was prejudiciall , or no , to esteeme the priviledge of an Independent liberty before the many other fruits and advantages of a well framed principalitie : but whether it was sin against God , or no , and a transgression against the constitution of power , to pursue that which was most pleasing , before that which was likely to prove more commodious .

summary:
  So Kings were no sooner made by the Law of Nations , but presently the same Law , cum creatus fuerit Rex ei omnia regalia conceduntur , & competit omnibus Regibus jus imponendi quantum habet Regalia , saith Baldus , Vectigalia introducta sunt à jure , &c. which is the Law of Nature or Nations , Ideo non otiosa sed favoralia , saith another Doctor , did annex this Prerogative to their several Crowns , Vectigalorigine ipsa jus Caesarum & Regum partimoniale est , saith another , Inhaeret Sceptro saith another and therefore when our ancient British Kings took up Customes for Merchandizes transported into France , as Strab● writeth , Britanni vectigalia tollebant gravia earum rerum quas brevi traject● in Galliam importabant ; shall we presume they did it by Act of Parliament ? Hereupon by the same Law of Nations , Tributes and Customes became due to the King or Prince to maintain him in his place of Government , quasi Ministerii sui stipendia , saith the School-man , Deo Minister est tibi in bonum ideo & tributa potestas , saith Saint Paul , and all these things , namely Property , and Contract , and Kings , and Customes , were before any positive Law was made ; then came the positive Law , and limited the Law of Nations , whereas by the Law of Nations the King had an absolute and unlimited power in all matters whatsoever .

  The mistaken recompense, or, The great damage and very many mischiefs and inconveniences which will inevitably happen to the King and his people by the taking away of the King's præemption and pourveyance or compositions for them by Fabian Phillipps, Esquire.

summary:
  Neither can there be any reason given why the Clergie , for whom God the ratio rationum incomprehensible wisedome and greatest perfection ordained so great a Pourveyance for them in their Tythes and Oblations , should enjoy it , and his Vice-gerent and Protector of them be without it , the Nobility , and many of the Gentry , and Laity not want it either in kind , or some other satisfaction for it , and all Cities , Corporations , Guilds , and Societies furnish out their grandeur and greatness derived only by reflection from that of the Kings ▪ and he only be deprived of that which should maintain his hospitality , and was so usefull to all other King● and Princes for the gaining of the affections of the People , Et a concilier ( as L●i● de Orleans saith ) L' amour de 〈◊〉 subject● quil● 〈◊〉 par le bouche & d' leurs le pe●ple au 〈◊〉 & les p●●ds a lateste pour affirmir le corps politique , et le l●er par ▪ une grac●●use voire necessaire correspondence ; and to procure the love of the people , who are taken by the mouth , and to fasten them unto the King , and the Feet unto the Head , strengthen the Body Politique , and unite all the parts thereof by a loving and necessary complyance , when he doth at the same time yearly pay and allow some thousands of pounds for the support and Pourveyance of his Councel in the Marches of Wales , and his Judges and Justices of the Peace , and other Officers in the Kingdom for the administration of Justice . Or for us to think that when God in his Government of his chosen people of Israel , in that his most righteous Theodratie , did command them not to delay the offerings of the First of their Ripe Fruit● and of their Liquors , and of their Oxen and their Sheep , and ordained , that if a Sheaf were forgotten in the time of Harvest , they were not to goe again to fetch it ; and when they did beat their Olive trees , they should not go ●ver it again ▪ and gathered their grapes , they should not gle●n them , for they should be for the ●tranger , the F●therless ▪ and the Widow , he would now be well pleased with such an unworthy sparing and avarice of Subjects , in withholding their Oblations from his Deputies , and disabling them from relieving the Strangers , the Fatherless , and the Widows . But that being said and imagined only , and not ever likely to be admitted into the virge of Truth or Evidence , will for the most part be proved to be meer suggestions contrived and cast abroad by the insinuations of some who do seek to preserve their own , as they deem it happiness , and increase of fortunes , by the ruine and miseries of multitudes , or such as will take up reports , as many Gentlemen do Tradesmens deceitfull Wares upon trust , and will prove to be no otherwise then as the blind man in the Gospel did in believing men to be walking Trees , when that which made them seem to be that which they were not , was his own mistakings , and by those , and other ungrounded scandalls , do as much service to the King by it , as the devouring Ingrossers do usually do unto the People , when they take away the more honest gains of the Retailers , to create unto themselves a liberty of imposing what rates they please upon them , and may be easily enough convinced by a discreet and juditious examination of particulars , h●aring of parties accused , survey of the excellent Orders and Government of the Royall Houshold , ( which are so exact , and limiting every Officer to their Liveryes , or stinted proportions , as some antient and very able knowing Officers of the Houshold who do well deserve to be believed , have averred , and will be ready to assert that the Orders of the Kings House are so very watchfull , vigilant , and preventing of chea●s and cozenings , as without a● universal combination of all the Servants of the Kings House ▪ which is never likely to be accomplished it is impossible that there can be so much as a Loaf or Manchet cozened from the King ) and the daily care of the Lord Steward , White-staved Officers , and of the Green-cloth , although the yearly Salaries and Pensions be the same for the most part which were in the Reign of King Henry the Seaventh , when the Kings provisions were so near the th●n cheap Market rates and prices , as they had not so much as an aspect of grievance , when ten thousand pounds was a good Dowry for the Kings Daughter in marriage with the King of Scotland , ten pounds per annum a good Annuity for a Kinsman to an Earle , a penny was but reckoned to an Earle of Oxford by his Wardrobe keepers for a pair of Gloves for his own wearing , and the value of silver by the ounce was then but little more then half a Crown , and but creeping up towards three shillings four pence the ounce : and Nicholas West Bishop of Ely in the 23th year of the Reign of King Hen●y the Eighth ▪ keeping yearly one hundred Servants in his house , gave the Gentlemen and better sort of them but 53 s. 4 d. and to the inferiour sort but 40 s. per annum , and the next year after that the ounce of silver was brought up to 3 s. 4 d. a fat Ox was sold at London for six and twenty shillings , Beef and Pork for an half-penny a pound , and a half penny farthing a pound for Veal and Mutton , was by an Act of Parliament in that year understood to be a reasonable price , and with gain enough afforded ; and due consideration shall be had of the necessary differences which are to be observed betwixt the Pensions , allowances and expences of many of the Nobility and Gentry of the best extraction and houses of the Kingdome serving and attending in the Kings House : those that stand before Princes , and are to be clothed , as the holy Book of God hath told us , with Silk and soft Raiments ; and those that are none of these , but do serve and take wages in Houses and Families of private men ; and that the Majesty and Honour of a King in the Order and splendour of his House is not to be reduced to the pattern of private Housekeepers , and the narrow and unbeseeming Customes of their smaller Estates and Families .

  A remonstrance of the most gratious King Iames I. King of Great Britaine, France, and Ireland, defender of the faith, &c. For the right of kings, and the independance of their crownes. Against an oration of the most illustrious Card. of Perron, pronounced in the chamber of the third estate. Ian. 15. 1615. Translated out of his Maiesties French copie.

summary:
  Nay , doubtlesse it was rather a meanes to eleuate and aduance the dignitie of the Crowne of France , and to style the French King , a King of Kings , as one that was able to giue the qualitie of King , to all the rest of the Nobles and Gentrie of his Kingdome . Let vs heare him speake : Jt is not in controuersie , whether obedience bee due to Kings by Gods Lawe , so long as they are Kings , or acknowledged for Kings : but our point controuerted , is whether by Gods Lawe it bee required , that hee who hath beene once recognised and receiued for King by the bodie of Estates , can at any time bee taken and reputed as no King , that is to say , can doe no manner of act whereby hee may loose his right , and so cease to be saluted King.

  Plato redivivus, or, A dialogue concerning government wherein, by observations drawn from other kingdoms and states both ancient and modern, an endeavour is used to discover the present politick distemper of our own, with the causes and remedies ...

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 .
