successe I pray you had the imprisonment of Richard the 2 it cost the Kingdome whole ages of miseries 80 of her Nobility and 100000 of her Commons the disposing of all her Royall Roses in their budds and before they were halfe blown untill they was but one of a colour left in the Royall Garden of Great Brittaine and they being Married made such a composure of Red and White as blushing at the former mischiefs and it is worth your observation how that the last two Kings to save their lives resigned their Crowns and so lost both whereas the former by keeping his Crown upon his head escaped the blow Let all these base begotten meteors appear glorious for a time till by their yeilding more and more to aire they fall to earth whilst Kings like Suns in firmaments look biggest when they are going down with confidence that they shall rise againe Lastly Henry 6. and his son must be Imprisoned and murdered to make way for Edward 4. and Edward 4. his two Sons and heires must be Imprisoned murdered to make way for Richard 3. and Richard 3. murders these two little Children and Henry 7. slayes Richard 3. with infinite of his followers for his usurpation if you go on with your worke you see your wages Gods hand is not shortned but stretched out still and he is as great an enemy to such proceedings as ever he was He is yesterday and to day and the same for ever Do ye thinke that ever ye shall have Peace till the King be restored ye may as well expect the needle of the Compasse to leave its treppidation before it point at the North Pole as to find quietnesse in the Land before the hearts of the people turne to their Soveraigne Do you not see that the Parliament cannot bring any thing to maturity and what 's the reason but because their labours will not admit a Treaty with the Sun Good men should endeavour to take off not verefie that saying of Maximilian the Emperour as Johannes Aventinus witnesseth de bello Turcico viz. that the Emperour of Germany was Rex regnum because his Princes were so great the King of Spaine was Rex hominum because his people were so obedient that the King of France was Rex asinorum because they bare such heavie burdens but the King of England was Rex Diabolorum because the people use to treat their Kings so wickedly Now Reader whether thou be'st christian or kind or courteous or otherwise whether thou be'st for one or other or neither or both yet as thou art an English-man suffer not thy self to be so abused and thy Country so ruined by the names of King and Parliament Religion and Liberty Priviledges and Properties for many a Snake lies under the strawberry leaves of such pretences and stings you ere you be aware and feeds you with poisons instead of dainties but return to your old obedience if you would return to your old Peace and if you would have God speed the Plough begin to cry GOD SAVE THE KING that we may once more hear the voice of joy and gladnesse amongst us that our Oxen may be strong to labour that there may be no decay no leading into captivity and no complaining in our streets that every man may sit quietly under his own vine and his own hands pluck his own grapes that the mowers may fil their sithes with their own rights and the reapers bind up their sheaves in the bonds of justice One word to thee O thou Great City the pantapolis of all miseries the seminary of Rebellion the magazine of Gunpowder Treasons the treasury of the wages of iniquity the Tower against David wherein hangs so many shields and bucklers the Mart Towne for conspiracies you nursed up this Rebellion when it was but tender you both fed and taught it when it was but young you maintain'd it in its wantonnesse when it was in its youth when it came unto its full strength ye gloried in your production and now Rebellion is in its declining age you ceres its wrinkles you lend it artificiall eyes leaden its gray haires lend it your staffe for fear it should fall and now at last you help it to crutches when it cannot otherwise go take my advice and judge not salubrity by sweetnesse a plaine dealing friend is like those sawces which a man praises with teares in his eyes though you have brought it to this yet cast off the old man of sin and put on the new man of righteousnesse An Eagle reneweth her age saith David David saith so and therefore you must believe it but how it is done you must be advised by Plyny when the Eagle hath surfeited by reason of her age not being able to digest so great a quantity of bloud as formerly shee was wont shee bathes and molts her self in a fountaine untill all her feathers fall away and beats her beak against a rock untill it loosens and fals off and thus with renewing of her bill and feathers in a manner shee becomes young againe Now after seven years sucking of the bloud of innocents if ye find your aged stomakes to be fil'd up to your consciences like the Eagles bath and molt your selves in the tears of repentance untill your Peacocks plumes come downe and strike with the fists of contrition upon your hard and stony hearts so you shall become new men new to God new to his Vicegerent new to your selves which will be the best newes that hath been cried in your streets these many years And as you have been principium caput so be but finis hujus rebellionis and habebis laudem ex illa Rom. 13. and as it hath been your fault to begin this Rebellion so let

they admit of many being there is b●● one This I speak in reference to the Country not to particular men Neither is there a sort of Christians in the world who are less servants unto Christ if it be enough to make them so to be the greatest prophaners of his day for the Sabbath day is only distinguished from other daies by a Sermon in the Church and the Alehouse being full of Mechannicks drinking and carousing from morning untill night the shops are open and buying and selling all the day long excepting halfe the window which is to distinguish the day but the door is open to let in the buyers and the other halfe of the window is open to let in the light and wonderfully strange it is and remarkable to consider how these people who shook off their allegiance to their Prince upon pretences of Reformation should be so besotted as to fall into such a strange and unheard heard of prophanenesse of him and the day whereon Christ himself is to be worshipped as in their Metropolis or chief City to have a dog ●arket kept to the utter scandall of ●●ue Religion and Christianity it selfe ●●is is no more then what I have seen ●●d if it were not true it were easily re●●rned upon my self as the greatest im●●udence that could be imagined but O ●●e partiality of the picture-drawer ●hen he receives large wages for a si●ilitude he insults over his own work ●nly because it is like when the face it ●elf is most abhominable Now for their freedome from Ty●anny and oppression if the Turkes or Tartars had conquered them they never would nor never did where ever they extended their dominions impose such taxes and rates as they have imposed on one another incredible even to the full value of the severall commodities which run through their natives hands but you will aske me how it is possible they should live then to which I answer you by sharking and cosening of strangers Let any forraigners come there and ask for a dinner and for such a dinner as they may well afford for eight pence a piece they will ask you five shillings a man find but the least fault with them and they will demand twelve pence a piece more for fouling of linnen and if you seem angry at that you shall mend your self with the payment of six pence a piece over and above for fouling the roome and seeke a remedy and you shall be told the Prince of Orange himself if he were there could not help it altom all is all the reason they will give you if in sadnesse you shall complaine of such abuses to indifferent Judges they will tell you that the States do lay such heavy taxes upon the Inhabitants that they are faine to fly to such shifts for their subsistance thus men pleased with the itch of Innovation are contented to scratch the bloud out of their own bodies till they feel the greatest smart rather then their Physitian should let out a little spare bloud to cure the disease and preserve them in good health but you will say that for all this they thrive and prosper abundantly so do the Argiers men but with what credit and reputation in the eye of the world I believe both alike It was not their strength or policy which brought them to this height and flourishing condition but it was our policy of State in ●●mulation to other Princes which hel●ed these calfes to Lions hearts teeth ●nd clawes untill the high and mighty ●utter-boxes stood in competition with the Crowne and I am afraid the siding with such Rebels hath turned Rebel●ion into our own bosomes as a just ●udgement from that God who is a re●enger of all such iniquities they may call it the Schoole of War whilst wanting a good cause it could be no otherwise then the Christians shambles I should be sorry that Holland should be the English-mans Looking-glasse a spur for his feet or a copy for his hand I hope the hand of providence will cure us like the Physitian who cur'd his patient by improving his disease from a gentle Ague to a high Feaver that he might the better help him CHAP. XV That Episcopacy is Jure Divino IN this discourse I shall not trouble my selfe nor you with Titles Names and words of Apostles Evangelists Arch-Bishops Bishops Patriarchs Presbyters Ministers Angels of Churches c. which were all from the highest to the lowest but tearmes reciprocal and were often taken in the Church of God and in the Scripture it self for one and the same for if any man though never so meane a Minister of the Gospel converted any Nation the Church ever called him the Apostle of that Country as Austin though but a Monke was every where tearmed the Apostle of England and Saint Paul being an Apostle stiles himselfe a Minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ Paul bids Timothy being a Bishop to do the work of an Evangelist and therefore no wonder if Bishops and Presbyters be ●ften mentioned for one and the same ●ut it is a great wonder that any man●er of men should make this a ground ●or any argument against Episcopacy ●hese kind of arguments instead of stri●ing fire that should light the candle ●hey do but pin napkins over our eyes ●nd turne us round untill we know ●ot where we are and then we grope ●or we know not who and lay hold ●f we know not what he that will ●ut down this over-grown up-start tree ●f errour must first clear his way to the ●oot and brush away all those bram●les and briers which grow about it ●e must not leave any thing standing ●hat may lay hold of the hatchet and ●eviate the stroke turning the same ●dge upon the feller that was intended ●or the tree if we should insist upon ●ames and titles we should make but a ●onfounded piece of worke and run our ●elves into a most inextricable labourinth and Mazes of errour Where we might run and go forwards and backwards and round about and nere the near Christs are Kings Kings are Gods God is Christ and Christ is Bi●hop of our souls Bishops are Presbyters Presbyters are Ministers a Minister is an Apostle an Apostle is a Minister and so if you will quite back againe I must put off these as David threw away Sauls Armour non possum incedere cum iis I love to knock down this monstrum informe ingens in lumen ademptum with a blunt stone taken out of a clear River which with the sling of application may serve well enough to slay this erroneous Philistine though he were far greater then he is In the first place therefore let as understand what is meant by Jus Divinum if any man meanes that Episcopacy is so Jure Divino that it is unalterable and must continue at all times and in all places so that where it is left off there can be no Church he meanes to give much offence and little reason for there
