Why do's the Moderatour leave it to every mans judgement whenas every man cannot judge charitably The Kings good people will thinke as charitably as possibly they can That he who is the Sheapheard of his people the King is called so I know not how often in sacred and in other books That he will not persist to hurry and spoile the Sheepe over whom God has made him a Shepheard It is enough and too much that he hath so done this winter His good people can hardly thinke That he who is the Father of his Countrey will seek all means to destroy his people whom he should respect as his Sons and Daughters Nor that he whom God hath made King hath set upon his own Throne will endeavour with his own hands to lay his own Kingdome waste to make his Eden a wildernesse Nor that he whom God has made the Head over a great people will spye out what Port is open thereby to take-in instruments of cruelty wherewith to teare the whole body because he is pleased to call some members there opposers His good people will hope as charitably as possibly can be That their King will understand his place and Office there That ruling over men he must be just ruling in the 2 Sam. 23. 3. feare of GOD Equity and justice must shine in him even as the Sun when it is at the highest whereof poor and rich may take refreshing he must be as the morning when the Sun riseth even as the morning without Clouds Thus his poore people will hope concerning him for a Prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressour c Pro. ●8 16. his people will think as charitably as possibly they can concerning their King and these matters notwithstanding what the Moderatour speaks to the contrary he sayes M. And it is a fond thing certainely to think his Army can want Ammunition having any Port open or that it will want money more then the other If the Kingdom hath it the Souldier will not be without it if it have not they must feed on free cost A. Here we may take a full view of the Kings Army not so terrible for multitudes as they are for injustice and violence in their hands they carry their right on their Swords point they spoile and lay waste according to the power in their hands and so have a great advantage indeed of those who must walke by rule This is enough to fray us into a Peace as I have seen some fray Sheep into the water For now that the Spring is come and such expectation of Forragne help to take part and joyn with his Forces here Surely now if there be not a Port and refuge open and GOD be praised that is alwayes open we will lay down our weapons now and make Peace with the Devill for so we may as the Answerer has told us upon as good termes as with this party which the Moderatour hath so fully described unto us and discovered before us viz.

The wicked are exceeding proud and so they speake and doe as if they could doe what they have a will to doe against those whom they shall call opposers The LORD on high is mightier then the noise of many waters yea then the mighty waves of the Sea i. e. The LORD is above them And though the LORD be so high yet hath He a respect unto the lowly Though I walke in the midst of trouble Thou wilt revive me Thou shalt stretch forth Thine Hand against the wrath of mine enemies and thy right hand shall save me saith the Ps 1●8 7. Church And it is the Anchor of their hope sure and stedfast Therfore now that the Spring is come this people are not afraid with any amazement now that the Adversary by his fraud and cunning is turning the Peace as they have turned Religion and Law all to the most pernicious and cursed abuse Now are Gods people turning themselves to GOD They put no trust in a syllabl● but in GOD Who is of more Advantage to His people then are the Armies of Men and Devils against them He is GOD of Hosts Power and wisedome ar● His A a Neh. 4. 14.
