shalt have no other Gods but me The Peace therefore of Churches and States manifestly consists in two points 1. In the exact knowledge and discovery who are our Right and lawful Superiou s on Earth 2. In exact obedience performed to their Laws and Will and no other Nor to Them acting beyond their Sphere and usurping upon Gods Rights in Heaven under whom all Eartly Superiours and Inferiours are Equally Fellow subjects And not to be allowed the liberty of eyes and understanding or private judgment to discerne between right or wrong Leaders which is of such temporal concern and preservation to every man in this World nor between the will of God and his Creature where they interfere which is of such Eternal moment in the other wherein lies the Radical errour of some Modern Christian Heathenism were to be depos'd from being men any more or reduced to an Eternal Non-age and inability to discern between good and evil and fitter therefore to be governed than to govern either themselves or others Having therefore for the establishment of Friends and the comfort of Regular and recovery of Irregular and seduc'd sufferers for Religion bestowed endeavours to distinguish the several parts of Divine and Human Soverainty whereon the Peace of Communities and the Salvation of Souls depends being as manifestly distinguishable as Heaven and Earth or Soul and Body and stated also and evinced the Title of Right Mother-Church to our own Britain though it s known a Harlot can bid fair for a true Mother where she lights not on Solomons for Judges and where she does be willing the Child be divided into Sects and parcels which she is not like to enjoy to her self entire and sufficiently demonstrated to any whose invincible minds and Spirits are unreduced from their Loyalty to God and Truth That Popery in its Leaders is an uniform in invasion and in its followers a necessary disobedience to right Soveraignes in Heaven and Earth and Protestancy in its Principles to be safe and clear from such disorders I judged fit to dedicate the Argument to whom it was duty to present the first Copy to your Royal Highness my Gracious Prince and Master having afore-hand weighed and considered as I ought it would make for your Highness Honour and publick love either at Home or Abroad in the disjunctive whatever were its resentment or success At Home with God and the Country if it serv'd in the least to fortifie your Royal Breast against temptations or at least with Forreign Lords of Celestial Crowns and Canonizations if it fayl'd against whose Sacred Avarice and Catholick canting for Tribute and Subjection and other Politick Arts which are not unknown and infallible errours and Idolatries which are not unconfuted such plain and manifest Truth could so little prevail though from clean hands and ends and seconded with the sense of the whole Nation and the rights of this Ancient Apostolical Church undoubtedly Senior if not Mother to Rome it self Withal the Subject being of the Heart and Conscience and comprizing as the heart doth in a narrow Rome a competent stock of Divine Rules and Measure to judge of Truth and about Church matters seem'd therefore the fitter present for a Prince so nigh to Soveraign who is a nation contracted in one man And Princes like God whom they represent delight in hearts And no Prince in Story was ever the Darling of more English Hearts than your R. H. and strange and unjust it were you should suffer any abatement of that Glory for no other reason but your exalted superlative zeal for God and your Conscience above Crowns or Kingdoms being the highest streign and pitch of sublime and transcendant Honour that Mortality could ever exert or phancy and higher still if that zeal were well guided with descretion as the Apostle requires and not taken upon undue trust whereof if there were not some manifest cause to doubt or fear none were more inexcusable and worthy to be deserted for ever by Your R. H. than him who having had once the Honour to adhere to you in your military dangers should want a heart at last to follow you in your Exclesiastical motions after truth my proper Element and Profession Having therefore as I ought doubted my self not a little and reviewed my Principles upon this occasion and with best endeavours of Brain and Knee studied to know the Truth and God's Mind 〈◊〉 with a heart resolved to be of its side to my Power against the World it seemed agreeable to Ministerial Obligation as well as Loyal Reputation to communicate my satisfactions to the World in the view of your R. H. that all might see that nothing else was able to make a Loyal Britain shrink from the steps of his Prince but a greater Loyalty to the manifest rights of God and the King and the Truth Which I trust will not be construed Contempt but constancy nothing being more the Duty of every Loyal servant and a Minister especially than to be as faithful to his Prince and consequently to God and the Nation as Conscience is in every breast which will never approve or agree to any disloyal revolt from Heaven and Truth but will chuse rather to be silenc'd for a time than consent and with Patient agony refer the matter to God himself Nor are any to be reckon'd straight-way unfortunate as is the manner of some Weak and Carnal reasons and Turba Remi and also the Divinity of some grave Deacons of the belly and present ease and greatness for any wound or inconvenience they may bring upon themselves for such fidelity to the Temporal and Eternal Interests of their Master either from declar'd which is more fair or undeclar'd and invisible Hostilities which is less For such suffer in their manifest duties which is therefore to be presum'd to be their choice by consequence when such need require and their right and best self-preservation if they be right men and Christians for if we are bound to love our Neigbours as our selves at the least so much more our Prince and Countrey above our selves as the hand doth the head And greater and truer love cannot be expressed than by long misery and durance for the Truth like an Anchor under Waves to hold fast the great Soul of ones Prince composed of Grace and Mercy and the fear of God by his Bowels and Compassion stronger than any Cable from running against Eternal Rocks and clashing with His Heavenly Sovereign which is the first and Original disloyalty and insurrection against the Chief whereof the Tumults of subjects against Secondary Mortal Soveraigns are usually but copies and fatal consequences by mans manifest fault but Gods secret righteous judgment as the fear and subjection of the Creature is observed by Divines to be abated and impaired towards Adam after his fall And no Prince can more deserve such Matyrial fidelity from Servants and Subjects than your R. H. not only upon the score of Loyalty and Conscience common to all
