He musters up 51 of the ancient Fathers to lend him their hands to defend his falsities wherein he hath wrested and abused their integrity sufficiently but I observe that he meddles with neither of the Gregories either the Great or Nazianzen his policy is not to mention them because then young Gregory herhaps may be put in minde of him for Prinne is crafty and observes the Proverbe He must have a long Devill that eates with a spoone Page 92.

Christians did not resist persecution under Pagans ergo Christians must not resist Christians and because Subjects are Christians as well as Kings therefore Christian Kings must not resist Rebells In his last Leafe he hath waded through this weighty Controversie and proved that both by Law and Conscience this Rebellion is justifiable and thus the Reader may perceive how Prinnes Judgement and Conscience is biassed Vpon Prinnes fourth Quarter or part of his Soveraigne Power of Parliaments IN page 13. he brings in a messe of musty Presidents like the mouldy Bread ragged Cloathes and clouted Shooes of the

Pag. he speakes truth That by the same power the Parliament had to raise an Army without the King by the same power they may raise mony to maintaine it which is as much as to say by the same power they had to be Rebells by the same power they might Murder Rob Plunder Ransack and ruinate His Majesties true Leige people and by the same power you have made bold to doe the like with all his Majesties Honours Mannours Royalties and Revenues all which you have done by the same power and liberall grants of that bountifull Potentate who offered to give all the Kingdomes of the world to our Saviour Pag. 34.
