A91283	A soveraign antidote to prevent, appease, and determine our unnaturall and destructive civill warres and dissentions. Wherein divers serious considerations tending to this purpose are propounded both to the King and subjects, the Parliaments and Sir Iohn Hothams proceedings at Hull and in the militia justified, Sr Iohn Hothams actions proved to be neither treason, felony, nor trespas, by the laws of the land, nor any just ground or cause at all for his Majestie to rayse an army, or a most unnaturall civill warre in his kingdome. With a most serious exhortation both to the King and subjects to embrace and preserve peace and abandon civill warres, with other matters worthy of consideration.

A SOVERAIGN ANTIDOTE TO PREVENT APPEASE AND Determine Our unnaturall and destructive Civill-Wars and Dissentions THE present deplorable condition of our bleeding and almost expiring Kingdom machinating its owne unevitable ruine by a causelesse groundles Civill Warre intended as the Parliament informes us by the King a seduced through pernicious Councellors against the Parliament and the Kingdome which intention is now apparant by his besieging of Hull and raising an Army in the North hath in a manner constrained me though altogether vnable for such a service to attempt the speedy redresse of this transcendent calamity by propounding certaine materiall considerations both to the King and Kingdome and then by examining whether there bee any just cause or ground at all on his Maiesties part to levie warre against Hull the Parliament his people especially whilest the Civill-wars in Ireland have continuance To avoid prolixity and obscurity I shall reduce my considerations unto these ensuing foure Propositions and the deductions from them First That it is the bounden duty of every good Christian King and Subject to the uttermost of their powers to preserve and maintaine the peace and prosperity of the Kingdomes wherein they live and to prevent all Civill wars and Dissentions in them This Proposition being of greatest consequence I shall be more prolix therein and it is thus proved First by these generall precepts given by God both to King and people Seeke peace and pursue it Psal. 34. 14. 1 Pet. 3. 11. Follow peace with all men Heb. 12. 14. As much as in you lyeth live peaceably with all men Rom. 12. 18. Live in peace be at peace among yourselves c. 2 Cor. 13. 11. 1 Thes. 5. 3. Ephes. 4. 3. Col. 3. 15. Rom. 14. 19. Have peace one with another Mar. 9. 50. Secondly more particularly by the 1. Tim. 1. 2. I exhort therefore that first of all Prayers Intercessions and giving of thanks be made for all men for Kings and for all that are in authority that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godlines and honesty compared with Ier. 29. 7. And seeke the peace of the City whether I have caused you to be carried away Captives and pray unto the Lord for it for in the peace thereof shall yee have peace Thirdly by that injunction of King David himselfe given to all his people by Divine command Psal. 122. 6. 7 8. b Pray for the peace of Jerusalem they shall prosper that love thee peace be within thy Wals and prosperity within thy Pallaces for my Brethrens and Companions sake I will now say peace bee within thee Fourthly by that speech of good Hezechia Isa. 29. 8. 2. King 20. 19. Good is the word of the Lord which thou hast spoken for there shall be peace and truth in my dayes Fithly by the titles given to God and Christ in Scripture where God is oft stiled The God of peace Rom. 15. 33. c. 16. 10. 2 Cor. 13. 11. Phil. 4. 9. 1 Thes. 5. 23. 2 Thes. 3. 16. Hebr. 13. 10. And Christ the Prince and King of peace Isa. 9. 6. Heb. 7. 2. By the severall promises of God in Scripture to give his people peace in their Land to blesse his people with peace to ordaine peace for them to keep them in perfect peace c. Levit. 26. 6. Psal. 29. 11. Isa. 26. 3. 12. c. 32. 17. c. 59. 13. c. 55. 12. c. 66. 12. Ezech. 34. 25. Hag. 2. 9. Zech. 8. 16. 19. By Christs own Legacy Who bequeathed his peace unto his people Iohn 14. 27. Now if God be a God of peace and Christ a Prince and King of peace and both of them give and promise nothing but peace unto their people Then Kings who are Gods c Vicegerents ought to imitate his example must endeavour to be Kings of peace and study to the uttermost to preserve the Kingdomes and subjects in perfect peace and prosperity and not to make warre against them Sixthly this is evident by two excellent speeches of David Psal. 78. 70 71 72. He chose David his servant and tooke him from the Sheep-fold from following the Ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people and Israel his inheritance So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart and guided them by the skilfullnesse of his hands By which text it is most most evident that Kings are not absolute d Lords but onely Sheepheards or Pastors of their people set over them by God not to worry or slay but to feed guide and seeke their e Wellfare in the integrity of their hearts to rule them with all gentlenesse care and vigilancy provide for their security Isa. 40. 11. Ezech. 34. 10. to 30. and if occasion be to lay down their very lives for the safety of their flocks as good Sheepheards are willing to do Iohn 10. 11. 15. and as King David desired to do in this 2d speech of his worthy all Princes consideration Hee seeing the Angell that smote the people spake thus unto the Lord Lo I have sinned and dealt wickedly but these Sheep what have they done Let thy hand I pray thee be against mee and my fathers house but not on the people that they should be plagued 2 Sam. 29. 17. 1 Chron. 21. 17. Answerable whereunto is that speech of the matchlesse Governour Moses most zealous for his peoples safety who desired God to blot him out of his Booke rather then to destroy the Israelites under his charge for their sin of Idolatry Exod. 32. 32. And when God said unto him Let me alone that I may consume them for they are a stiffenecked people and I will make of thee a great Nation He utterly refused this offer and continued expostulating the case with God in Prayer in the Israelites behalfe Beseeching him to turne from his fierce wrath and to repent of the evill against his people till hee caused God to repent of the evill which he thought to doe unto his people Exod. 32. 9. to 15. Numb. 14. 11. to 21. O that all Christian Kings and Princes were now so zealous of

Kingdomes use till it may without danger to the Realme by Order of Parliament be rendred up into his Majesties actuall possession who hath no particular Right or Title to it but onely a generall as the Kingdomes Servant and trustee for the peoples safety which is now endangered through his Majesties listening to evill Counsellours Who whisper to him in private and have engaged him in a Civill-warre against his Parliament and people and not hearkening to his Parliament the Graund Counsell both of King and Kingdome whose publique impartiall advice his Royall Progenitors have alwayes most highly esteemed and followed and thereby made themselves great and honourable and the Kingdome happy The Conclusion I shall now winde up all in a few words I suppose I have made it most apparently evident to every indifferent mans judgement that Sir Iohn Hothams forecited Actions with which his Majestie is so much incensed are neither Treason nor Felony by the Laws of the Land by which his Maiestie hath oft lately protested to rule and be guided the t Kings of England by their Coronation Oaths being subject to their Lawet not their Lawes to them and by the Parliaments Resolution not so much as a Misdemeanour or offence but a lawfull act done by the expresse commands for the publique peace and safety of the Realme and prevention of a Civill warre I appeale then to his Majestie to every English mans or other Subjects Conscience and advise them all in the presence of God as they will answer the contrary at the great approaching day of Judgement seriously to consider and then resolve within their brests whether these inoffensive Acts of Sir Iohn Hotham accompanied with all the praerecited Circumstances be a just and sufficient ground to the King or any of his subjects in point of conscience or policy especially in this season when Ireland is in danger of losing and England almost exhausted with necessary publique payments With voluntary contributions and much d●●●acted and divided in it selfe to raise an unnaturally bloody civill warre against Hull and in it against the Parliament and Kingdome by which the King and his Par●isons will be by degrees so farre ingaged against the Parliament and his Kingdome and they by way of just defence so farre engaged against the King and them without Gods mercifull prevention that we shall all now after so long enjoyed peace most unnaturally sheath our swords in one anothers bowells out one anothers throats shed one anothers blood burne spoile waste destroy and prey upon one anothers houses Lands Goods possessions make our whole Kingdome a very Field and Sea of English blood and in conclusion without Gods interposing mercy utterly raine both our King Kingdome Parliament Religion our selves and our posterities and make our Land a Prey to Popish forraigne enemies who now rejoyce at our Divisions which they much foment and thereby hope to surprize and wholly conquer us ere it be long And if our consciences answer us as they will after full deliberation that thes● Acts of Sir Iohn ●otham be no just cause or ground to warrant such unnaturall bloody fatall destructive civill war O let us not then once venture or presume to take up Armes against our owne deare native Country which hath bred us against the Parliament who sit night and day and spend both their Fortunes time and Spirits to redresse our grievances prevent our immanent dangers advance our happinesse and prosperity and preserve our long enjoyed Tranquilitie against our deare loving brethren kindred friends and Countreymen who never did us the least injury against our selves our children families which a Civill-warre may quickly ruine nor yet to countenance justifie or side with those unnaturall vipers and unreasonable ●ottish Brutes who either maliciously or inconsiderately foment and promote such an unnaturall impious causelesse civill warre But let us all put forth our utmost best endeavours and powre out our fervent prayers to God to prevent and cease these civill combustions to ayd and preserve our deare Native Countrey Kingdome Religion the Parliament our selves and our pos●erity against these malignant Incendiaries who seeke their utter destruction O let no true bred English man or Christian be so degenerous so B●rbarous and brutish as to become his owne his deare brethrens posterities Countries Kingdomes bloody Executioner to do such disservice to his Countrey in a few dayes or houres which he shall with brinish teares repent for over I shall likewise humbly presume to beseech his Majestie upon the bended knees of my soule most seriously to consider all the Premises and if upon persual of them there shall appeare no just or lawfull cause in point of conscience and true Christian not Machivillian policy necessarily to enforce him to make a civil warre upon his Kingdome onely for the act of one particular Subject as is yet pretended which in truth amounts not by the Law either to Felony or Treason if to a trespasse or Misdameanor that then he would be most graciously pleased according to his Oath his Royall Duty and many reiterated Protestations to preserve his people and Kingdome in a sweet peace and blessed unity to disband his present Forces and tumultuous Cavaliers discard all bloody Counsellors who have advised him to a most unnaturall unseasonable dangerous civill warre to returne with speed to London and close with his great and best Counsell the Parliament for the preservation and present ayd of bleeding Ireland the setling and composing of his peoples present feares and distractions the effecting of of a perfect thorough Reformation and Union in Church and state the redresse of all remayning grievances the advancement of Truth of the flourishing estate of his three Kingdomes and his owne Royall Honour Revenues and Greatnesse which will eternally gaine his Majestie the servent Prayers hearts affections purses and ready service of all his Kingdomes and subiects together with immortall honour whereas if he shall still proceed in prosecution of this desperate civill warre against his people Kingdom Parliament the guilt of all his subjects innocent blood which shall be shed in this unnaturall causelesse warr will light heavy upon his conscience be required at his hands and in conclusion both himselfe his Kingdomes and loyall people will be brought to the very extremity of misery If not to utter ruine after such a long enjoyed flourishing peace both under his owne and his predecessors peaceably raignes I shall conclude with that of the Poet u Pax optima Rerum Homini novisse datum est Pax vna Triumphis Innumeris po●●r Pax custodne salutem Et Cives aquare potens Te petimus omnes O Most gracious Lord God though thou justly plague us with thy other Iudgements for our sinnes yet give us not over to the sword the forrest of all thy Iudgements an unnaturall bloody civill warre but since thou art a x God of peace and

this Land have now uninterruptedly enjoyed almost an hundred yeares together through thine extraordinary mercy do thou out of thy superaboundant goodnesse continue and z preserve us still in perfect peace whose hearts are stayed on thee And let there be no end of our peace with thy heavenly Majestie with our owne consciences and one with an●ther King with Parliament Kingdome and People and they with King till Iesus Christ the a Prince of peace his second coming who shall give all his b everlasting peace and blisse in his coelestiall Kingdome Amen Amen FINIS a In sundry Declarations and in certain Propositions concerning the raising of Horse c. b Numb. 6. 26. c 2 Chron. 9. 8.
