A90655	King Charles the First, no man of blood: but a martyr for his people· Or, a sad, and impartiall enquiry, whether the King or Parliament began the warre, which hath so much ruined, and undon the kingdom of England? and who was in the defensive part of it?	Philipps, Fabian, 1601-1690.	1649 (1649)	Wing P2008; Thomason E531_3; ESTC R203147	60,256	72

Turk and the King as their Henry Scobell or Towne Clearke but subscribe it their Spirituall as well as their Temporall Estate and their Soules as well as their Bodies must bee voted and forced to it And now let the People that have tasted too much of such a kind of happinesse and are like to continue in it as long as their misery-makers can by any help of the Devill or his angells hold them to it consider whether they or their forefathers though some have thought themselves to have wit enough to adventure to call them fooles were the wiser whether they that setled the government and were contented with it or they that pulled it in peeces and whether the tearing up of the fundamentall Lawes of Monarchy Peerage Parliament and Magna Charta even since the day the King was murthered for defending of them which every one but themselves desired to uphold bee not enough besides the Scottish combination and the plots to ruine Monarchy and the King and his posterity before the five Members and Kimbolton had so far●● engaged themselves in it to informe them if nothing else had beene demonstrated unto them That the King did all hee could to preserve the Lawes Religion and Liberties of the People which diver● peeces of his coyne will help to perpetuate the truth as well as the memory of and the parliament all they could to destroy them And that as hee actually endeavoured to defend them so have they as actually undone and destroyed them And let the greatest search of history can bee made or time it selfe bee Judge if ever any warre was more made in the defensive or upon juster grounds or greater necessities or if ever any King before fought for the Liberties of those hee was to governe and for Lawes to restraine himselfe withall or if it were possible for him to suffer so much in any mans opinion as to have it thought to bee unlawfull or that he was a murtherer of his people for seeking to protect them How shall any King or Majestrate bee able to beare or use the Sword when they themselves shall bee in continuall danger to bee beaten with it King Edward the 2. of England was not murthered for the blood that was shed in the Barrons Warres though some of them had drawne their swords but in performance of his fathers will to take away his favorite Gavestson from him King Rich. 2. in those many d●vised Articles charged against him was not deposed for the blood was shed in Wat Tilers Commotion nor Hen. 6. publiquely accused for that of Jack Cades Rebellion and the most bloody differences of the White and Red-Roses nor Queene Elizabeth for all that was spilt in reducing Ireland when her favorite the Earle of Essex made it to bee the more by his practises with Tyrone nor for the blood of Hacket who pretended to bee Christ nor of Penry and other Sectaries lesser Incendiaries then Burton Prynn● and Bastwick for disturbing the Common-Wealth the great Henry of France was not endeavoured by his Catholick Subjects to be brought to triall for sheding so much of their Blood to reduce them to his obedience nor by his Protestant Subjects after hee was turned Catholique for spending so much of their blood to another purpose then they intended it Nor have the stout harted Germans though many of them great and almost free Princes in their late peace and accord made betwixt the Swedes and the Emperour thought it any way reasonable or necessary to demand reparation for those millions of men Women and Children houses and Estates were ruined and spoyled by a 30. yeares warre to reduce the Behemians and Prince Elector Palatine to their obedience For what rules or bounds shall bee put to every mans particular fancy or corrupted interest if they shall bee at Libertie to question and call to account the authority God hath placed over them Shall the sonne condemne or punish the father for his owne disobedience the Wife her Husband for her owne act of Adultery or the Servant the Master for his owne unfaithfullnesse or can there bee any thing in the Reason or understanding of man to perswade him to think the King was justly accused for the shedding of his Subjects blood which the accusers themselves were only guilty of And Bradshaw himselfe like the Jewes high Priest confessing a truth against his will in the words he gave insteed of reason for murthering the King against the will and good liking of 9. parts in every 10. of the Commons of England could make his Masters that call themselves the Parliament of England to bee no better then the Tribum plebis of Rome and the Ephori of Sparta the former of which for manifold mischiefes and inconveniences were abrogated and laid aside and never more thought fit to bee used and the latter not being halfe so bad as our new State Gipsies killed and made away to restore the People againe to their Liberties But the opinion and Judgement of the Learned Lord Chiefe Justice Popham who then little thought his grand-child Collonell Popham should joyne with those that sate with their Hats on their heads and directed the murther of their Soveraigne and if hee were now living would sure enough have hanged him for it and those other learned Judges in the case and Tryall of the Earle of Essex in the Raigne of Queene Elizabeth That an intent to hurt the Soveraigne Prince as well as the Act of it was Treason And that the Lawes of England doe interpret every act of Rebellion or Treason to aime at the death or deposing the Prince For that Rebels by their good will never suffer that King or Prince to live or Raigne that understands their purposes and may revenge them agreeable to that of the Civill Law That they that goe about to give Lawe to their Prince will never suffer him to recover Authority to punish it is now written in the blood of the King and those many iterated complaints of the King in severall of his Declarations published to the People in the mid'st of the Parliaments greatest pretences and promises that they intended to take away his life and ruine him are now gone beyond suspicion and every man may now know the meaning of their Cannoneeres levelling at the King with perspective glasses at Copredy bridge the acquitting of Pym the ●nn●keeper who said hee would wash his hands in the Kings Heart Blood stifling of 15. or 1● severall indictments for treasonable words and Rolfe rewarded for his purpose to kill him and the prosecutor chequed and some of them imprisoned for it For the Sunne in the Firmament and the foure great quarters of the Earth and the Shapes and Lineaments of man are not so universally knowne seene or spoken of as this will bee most certaine to the present as well as after ages The end hath now verified the beginning and Quo● primum fuit in intentione ultimo loco agitur Seaven yeares

hypocriticall Promises and Practices seaven yeares Pretences and seaven yeares preaching and pratling have now brought us all to this conclusion as well as Confusion The blood of old England is let out by a greater witchcraft and cousenage then that of Medea when shee set Pelias daughters to let out his old blood that young might come in the place of it the Cedars of Lebanon are devoured and the Trees have made the Bramble King and are like to speede as well with it as the Frogs did with the Storke that devoured them And they have not only slaine the King who was their Father but like Nero rip't up the belly of the Common-Wealth which was their Mother The light of Israel is put out and the King Lawes Religion and Liberties of the People murthered an action so horrid and a sinne of so great a magnitude and complication as if wee shall aske the daies that are past and enquire from the one end of the Earth to the other there will not bee found any wickednesse like to this great wickednesse or hath beene heard like it The Seaverne Thames Trent and Humbar foure the greatest Rivers of the Kingdome with all their lesser running streames of the Island in their continuall courses and those huge heapes of water in the Ocean and girdle of it in their restlesse agitations will never bee able to scoure and wash away the guilt and staine of though all the raine which the clouds shall ever bring forth and impart to this Nation and the teares of those that bewaile the losse of a King of so eminent graces and perfections bee added to it Quis cladem illius diei quis funera fando Explicet aut possit lachrimis aequare dolores Gens antiqua ruit multos dominata per Annos FINIS Order● Jan. 1641.

and his Commissioners at Vxbridge almost petitioned for a cessation in the interim of that Treaty as they had done before in that which was at Oxford it could not be granted nor have a few daies added to it if the King could in honor Conscience have granted all the other parts of the propositions must grant them an act not only to confiscate the Estates of his Friends and those that took armes to save his Life and Estate but to take away their Lives also and not only that but to condemne them of high Treason and attaint their blood when they fought against them were only guiltie of it a thing so unfitting and unusually stood upon as it was never asked in any treaty or pacification among the civilized or more barbarous heathen and amounts to more then Adonibezeks causing the thumbs and great toes of his captive Kings to bee cut off and making them to gather the crumbes from under his table or Benhadads demande of Ahabs silver and gold his wives and Children and whatsoever else was pleasant in his eyes which the elders and People of Israel perswaded Ahab not to consent unto but was a thing purposely contrived and stood upon to hinder a Peace was not to bee asked or granted by any that could but entitle themselves to the least part of reason or humanity a demand Bajazet would not leave his Iron cage to yeild unto a thing nature it selfe would abhorre and the worst of Villaines and reprobates rather loose their lives then yeild to would never bee demanded by any but a Devill nor granted by any but his Equalls And if their desiring of a war more then a peace and to keepe the King out of his owne had not beene the only cause of such unnaturall and barbarous propositions it may well bee wondred why they that have made to themselves for wee cannot beleive they have found any law or warrant to ground it upon a power to take away the Kings life upon a colour or pretence of an unread as well as unheard of peece of Justice should need to strive so hard with the King to give them a power to doe that they are now so busie to doe of themselves and as if they had beene afraid all this would not bee enough to keepe the doores of Janus or the Devill open for feare lest the King should trouble them with any more offers or Messages for peace a vote must bee made in February 1647. that it should be treason in any man to bring or receive any more Messages from him without consent of Parliament But suppose that which is not that the Parliament could have but found any thing but somewhat like a cause or justification of a war against their Soveraign for notwithstanding all their hypocriticall pretences so it was at first intended and so it hath proved to bee ever since to whom their Masters the People wee meane as to the house of Commons had sent them to consult with not to make a Warre against him they might have remembred that saying of Cicero if they had found nothing in the booke of God and their owne Consciences to perswade them to it That duo sunt genera decertandi unum per disceptationem alterum per vim ad hoc confugiendum non est si uti superiori licebit There are other waies to come by pretended rights then by a Warre and wee ought never to make use of a Warre which is the worst of all remedies if wee may obtaine it by a better Hen. 2. King of England was made a Judge betwixt the Kings of Castile and Navarre The Rebellious Barons of England in the raigne of King Hen. 3. referred their controversies to the decision of the king of France and his Parliament at Paris And the blood of this kingdom which ran so plentifully in those unhappy differences was by that meanes only stopped Charles the 4. Emperor was made a Judge of the differences betwixt the English and the French Kings For as Albericus Gentilis saith well Intelligendum eos qui diffugiunt genus hoc decertandi per desceptationem ad alterum quod est per vim currunt illco eos a justitia ab humanitate a probis exemplis refugere et ruere in arma volentes qui subire judicium nullius velint They that rush into a Warre without assaying all other just meanes of deciding the controversie for which it is made and will judge only according to their owne will and opinion doe turne their backs to Justice Humanity and all good Examples And in that also the Parliament will bee found faulty For the French King and the Estates of the united Provinces did by more then one request and embassy severally and earnestly mediate to make an accord betwixt the King and his Parliament and desired to have all things in defference left to their arbitrement but their Ambassadors returned home again with a report how much they found the King inclined to it and how satisfactorily hee had offered and how much the Parliament was averse to their interposition and altogether refused it But wee have tarried long enough among the Parliament partie from thence therefore for it is time to leave the companie of so much wickednesse wee shall remove to the Kings partie and yet that may cause a Sequestration and examine for a fuller satisfaction of that which by the rule of contraries is cleere enough alreadie if hee were not on the defensive and more justifiable part of the businesse The King as hee was defensor et protector subditorum suorum and sworne to see the Law executed had not the sword nor his authority Commited to him in vaine And if hee had had no manner of just cause of feare either in his owne Person or authoritie or no cause given him in relaesae Majestatis the imprisoning of his Subjects and plundring and taking away their estates from them long before he had either armed himselfe or had wherewithall to doe it had beene cause as sufficient as to cause a Hue and Cry to be made after a fellon or raise the posse Commitatus to bring him to Justice and might by the same reason doe it in the case of more and by the same reason hee might doe it by the help of one nothing can hinder but by the same reason hee might doe it by the help of more When Nathan came to David with a parable and told him of the rich man that had taken the poore mans only Sheepe hee that understood well enough the dutie of a King was exceeding wroth against the man and said As sure as the Lord liveth this man shall surely dye And can any man think that the King when hee saw so much Sedition and Treason among the People countenanced and cherished Tumults grow up into outrages outrages to parties and Warlike assemblies proposi●ions made to bring in Horse and Money to
