Thence we heare likewise that Denington Castle neere Newburie , and not far from Basing , is now fortifying to be a strengthning thereunto ; That Andover is possessed by the Kings Forces to inlarge their Contributions ; That a Taxe of ninescore pounds the week is imposed upon every Hundred neere those places , to the inriching of the Parliament Adversaries , to the disadvantage of our chiefe City , and to the impoverishing of those parts of Hamp-shire , Bark-shire , and Wilt-shire , who now begin to cry out by reason of their oppressions , and to curse the Malignancie and Neutrality of those who allured them to take such serpents into their bosomes : yea some among them protest with teares ( where they dare complaine ) that if now the Parliament would send to deliver them , they should find many hands to help forward the work ; which their neighbours also would be glad to further before they come under the same lash : and it is much wondred that a place so neere London upon a passage thither so convenient , and so easie to have been cleered , should have been left so long obstructed to the Parliaments great disadvantage , unlesse it had been unheeded and neglected for the nonce .

title:
  A vindication of Psalme 105.15. (touch not mine anointed, and doe my prophets no harme) from some false glosses lately obtruded on it by Royalists Proving, that this divine inhibition was given to kings, not subjects; to restraine them from injuring and oppressing Gods servants, and their subjects; who are Gods anoynted, as well as kings: and that it is more unlawfull for kings to plunder and make war upon their subjects, by way of offence, then for subjects to take up armes against kings in such cases by way of defence. With a briefe exhortation to peace and unity.

summary:
  If any Court-Chaplaine here demand ; how I prove beleeving Subjects fearing God , to be his anoynted , as wel as Kings or P●iests ? I answer : first , the Scripture resolves expresl● : ●hat all true Christians are really ( in a spirituall sence ) both Kings and Pri●sts to God the Father , though they be but subj●cts in a politicke sence : yea , God hath prepare● a heavenly kingdome● ( with an eternal Crown of glory ) for them , where they shall raigne with C●rist for ever and ever . Secondly , Consider to whom these words were spoken ; not to Subjects , but to Kings them●elves ; a● the Psalmist resolves in expresse terms , Vers.

  I am going to die , and the Lord receive my Soule : I have no reliance but upon Christ , for my selfe I doe acknowledge that I am the unworthiest of sinners ; my life hath beene a vanity , and a continued sinne , and God may justly bring mee to this end , for the finnes I have committed against him , and were there nothing else , but the iniquities , that I have committed in the way of my Life , I looke upon this as a great justice of God to bring me to this suffering , and to bring mee to this punishment , and those Hands that have beene most Active in it , if any such there hath beene , I pray God forgive them , I pray God that there may not bee many such Trophees of their Victories , but that this may bee as I said before the last shew , that this people shall see , of the bloud of persons of Condition , of persons of Honor ; I might say something of the way of our Triall , which certainely hath beene as extraordinary , as any thing I thinke hath ever beene seene in this Kingdome ; but because that I would not seem as if I made some complaint I will not so much , as mention it , because no body shall believe I repine at their actions , that I repine at my fortune : It is the Will of God , it is the Hand of God under whom I fall , I take it intirely from him I submit my selfe to Him , I shall desire to roule my selfe into the Armes of my blessed Saviour , and when I come to this * place , when I bow downe my selfe there , I hope God will raise mee up , and when I bid farewell , as I must now to Hope and to Faith , that love will abide , I know nothing to accompany the soule out of this World but love , and I hope that love will bring me to the fountaine of glory in Heaven , through the Armes , Mediation , and the Mercy of my Saviour Iesus Christ , in whom I believe , O Lord help my unbeliefe . And though it be but a sad way , yet if it will bring you into the presence of joy , although it be a valley of tears , although it be a shadow of death , yet if God will please to bring you , and make it a passage to that happinesse , welcome Lord .

summary:
  And ▪ however the P●ophetick designation of Monarchical government to succeed as under the notion of Kings , as the adopted Father of each Country , took not place until Moses ; but that those that were the natural Fathers of the Tribes , and had right of Government by primogeniture , continu●● as Princes and Rulers : yet their , as he was the first that was so stiled , being King in Jes●u●●●● ▪ ( even as the succeeding Judges may be so well called for that in the inter-regnum it is said there was no King in Isra●l ) 54 ▪ To direct and encourage in this constancy , let us revert to thse grounds and reasons before laid down , let us consider that since the maintenance of love and charity , and the preservation of mankind by peace , have so necessary a dependence upon submision to the Authority of that Church where we live , and since the Glory , Service and Worship of God here on earth , hath again so near a relation unto this preservation of mankind by peace , that therefore in these , and thing● of the like nature ( which are not of such express divine Precept , as to be demonstrable out of the Word of God , or are not fundamental to our salvation ) there should no opposition be made to the disturbance of the peace of ●he Church : but , to that very end , all to submit to the determination of those that have chief power therein .
