That the Priests Prophets Prince●… Captains Officers and all the people of God at the coronation of Solomon and so at their other hereditarie Kings inaugurations who succeeded him by like practice and custom did blow with Trumpets pipe with Flutes rejoice with exceeding joy and cry out with united shouts prayers acclamacions God save the King Let the King live so that the Earth did rent and the City ring again with the sound thereof 2ly That besides this usual short prayer and ejaculation unto God for him and their following Kings the greatest devoutest of the Officers and people did break forth into other most affectionate pathetical expressions praiers for them as Benaiah and other of Davids servants did here in the case of Solomon saying The Lord God of my Lord the king say Amen too As the Lord hath been with my Lord the king David so let him bee with Solomon and make his name better than thy name and make his throne greater than thy throne 3ly That they joyned in publike prayers to God for their Kings after their installments in the kingdom as the whole Congregation did here with David for Solomon O Lord God of Abraham c. give unto my son Solomon a perfect heart to keep thy Commandements c. Ps. 132. 1 c. 4ly That in their usual addresses to their Kings they bless them by wishing them spiritual and temporal blessings long life and prosperity to them and bless God for their advancement to the Throne and Government over them as is evident by the 1 Kings 1. 27. 43. compared with the 2Sam 10. 16. and other subsequent texts 5ly I shall adde to the premises this passage in Huram king of Tyre his letter to Solomon 2 Chron. 2. 12. Huram said moreover Blessed be the Lord God of Israel that hath made heaven and earth who hath given to David a wise Son endued with prudence and understanding that might build an house for the Lord and an house for his kingdom And these words of the Queen of Sheba to Solomon 2 Chron. 9. 7 8. 1 Kings 10. 7 8. Happy are thy men and happy are these thy servants which stand continually before thee and hear thy wisdom Blessed be the Lord thy God which delighted in thée to set thée on his throne to be King for the Lord thy God because thy God loved Israel to establish them for ever therefore made hee thee King over them to do judgement and justice Now if King Huram and the Queen of Sheba meer foreiners Princes not subjects thus blessed God for Solomons kingdom justice reign and advancement to his fathers throne for the establishment and welfare of his subjects then much more were the Israelites themselves his own subjects and servants obliged to blesse him and blesse God for his reign wisdom and good government over them which no doubt they did constantly perform in their publike and private Devotions and all their addresses to him as also to their other Kings succeeding him though not particularly recorded in the books of Kings and Chronicles which are but short Epitomes of his and their reigns 3ly When King Solomon had finished the Temple he assembled all the Elders heads of the Tribes and chief of the fathers of the children of Israel with the Priests and Levites to Jerusalem to bring up the Ark and dedicate the Temple where Solomon having first bl●…ssed all the Congregation he with the whole Congregation of Israel standing before and joyning with him Blessed the Lord God of Israel who had with his hands fulfilled that which he spake with his mouth to his father David That his Son which should come out of his loyns should build an House to the name of the Lord God of Israel The Lord therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken for I am risen up in the room of David my Father and am set on the Throne of Israel as the Lord promised and have built the House for the Lord God of Israel c. After which he stood before the Altar of the Lord upon a brazen scaffold and kneeled upon his knees before all the Congregation of Israel and spred forth his hands towards heaven and said O Lord God of Israel there is none like thee in the heaven nor in the earth which keepest Covenant and shewest mercy unto thy servants that walk before thee with all their hearts Thou which hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him and spakest with thy mouth and hast fulfilled it with thy hand as it is this day Now therefore O Lord God of Israel kéep with thy servant David my Father that which thou hast promised him saying There shall not fail thée a Man in my sight to sit upon the Throne of Israel yet so that thy children take heed to their way to walk in my Law as thou hast walked before me Now then O Lord God of Israel let thy word I pray thée be verified which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David c. O Lord God turn not away the face of thine anointed Remember the Mercies of David thy servant When Solomon had ended all his prayer and supplication to the Lord he arose from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven and he stood and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice saying Blessed be the Lord God that hath given rest unto his people Israel according to all that he hath promised there hath not failed one word of all his good promise which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant The Lord our God be with us as he was with our Fathers Let him not leave us nor forsake us that he may incline our hearts unto him to walk in all his wayes and to keep his Commandements and his Statutes and his Iudgements which he commanded our Fathers And let these my words wherewith I have made supplication before the Lord be nigh unto the Lord day night that he may maintain the cause of his servant the cause of his people Israel the thing of a day in his day or at all times as the matter shall require that all the People of the Earth may know that the Lord is God and there is none else c. After all the Dedications sacrifices offerings and feasts were fully ended Solomon sent the people away and they blessed the King and went unto their tents Ioyfull and glad of heart for all the goodnesse that the Lord had shewed unto David his servant to Solomon and to Israel his people In these remarkable passages we have King Solomon blessing all his Princes Elders people and they blessing him again and both of them joyning together in blessings thanksgivings and

Wherein there was not only a Prayer for the King in the Letany but in a special Collect agreeing in substance with those in our later Books of Common-Prayer hereafter cited In this pious Kings reign the Bishops and Ministers in their Epistles and Dedications to him and in their Prayers before after their Sermons usually prayed most heartily and particularly for his long life religious and prosperous reign and spiritual temporal and eternal felicity And John Bale Bishop of Ossery in his Image of both Churches or Paraphrase upon St. Johns Revelation printed 1550. in the Iast page thereof exhorts all Gods meek-spirited Servants in their daily Prayer afore all other to remember that most worthy Minister of God King Edward the sixth which hath so sore wounded the Beast that he may throw all his Superstition into the bottomlesse lake again from whence they have comen to the comfort of his People Our learned Thomas Beacon in his Preface to The Flower of Godly Prayers dedicated to Anne Dutchesse of Somerset as he doth exceedingly blesse God for the extraordinary zeal and piety of King Edward the 6th in delivering his Realm from Antichristian Tyranny and Popery reforming the Church propagating true religion and in giving us this most worthy Prince to be our King So he hath this particular Prayer for the King to be used by all private Christians daily in their respective Families and Closets with zeal and devotion Almighty God King of Kings and Lord of Lords which by thy divine ordinance hast appointed Temporal Rulers to govern thy People according to equity and justice and to live among them as a loving Father among his natural Children unto the advancement of the good and punishment of the evil we most humbly beseech thee favourably to behold Edward thy Servant our King and Governour and to breath into his heart through thy holy Spirit that Wisdom that is ever about the Throne of thy Majesty whereby he may be provoked moved and stirred to love fear and serve thee to seek thy glory to banish Idolatry Superstition and Hypocrisy out of this his Realm and unfeignedly to avance thy holy and pure Religion among us his Subjects unto the example of other forein Nations O Lord defend him from his enemies send him long and prosperous life among us and give him grace not only in his own Person godly and justly to rule but also to appoint such Magistrates under him as may be likewise affected both toward thy holy Word and toward the Common-we●…l that his Subjects living under his Dominion in all godlinesse peace and wealth may passe the time of this our short pilgrimage in thy fear and service unto the glory of thy blessed name which alone is worthy all honour for ever and ever Amen Next after this follow●… one Prayer for the Kings Council And after that a Prayer for the common peace and quietnesse of all Realms very seasonable for our times And in his Pomaunder of Prayer he hath this Prayer of Subjects or Commons As it is thy godly appointment O Lord God That some should bear rule in the world to see thy Glory set forth and the common peace kept so is it thy pleasure again that some should be Subjects and Inferiours to others in their vocation although before thee there is no respect of Persons And for as much as it is thy good will to appoint me in the number of Subjects I beseech thee to give me a faithfull and an obedient heart unto the High Powers that there may be found in me no Disobedience no Unfaithfullnesse no Treason no Falsehood no Dissimulation no Insurrection no Commotion no Conspiracy nor any kind of Rebellion in Word or Deed against the Civil Magistrates But all Faithfulnesse Quietnesse Subjection Humility and whatsoever else becommeth a Subject That I living here in all lowlynesse of mind may at the last day through thy favour be lifted up into everlasting Glory wh●…re ●…hou with the Father and the Holy Ghost livest and reignest very God for ever Amen These were the Godly Loyal fervent daily publick and private Prayers of Protestant Ministers and Subjects for King Edward the 6th in that Age.

Mar. ch 9. Forasmuch as now of late diverse noughty seditious malicious and heretical persons not having the fear of God before their eyes who in a divellish sort contrary to the duty of their Allegiance congregated themselves together in Conventicles in divers and sundry prophane places within the City of London esteeming themselves to be in the true Faith where indeed they are in Errors and Heresies and out of the true trade of Christs Catholick Religion and in the same places at several times using their phantastical and schismatical services have of their most malicious and wicked Stomachs prayed against the Queens Majesty That God would turn her Heart from Idolatry to the true Faith which was good and Christian or else to shorten her daies or take her quickly out of the way Which Prayer was never heard or read to have been used by any good Christian man against any Prince though he were a Pagan and Infidel and much lesse against any Christian Prince and especially so virtuous a Princess as our Soveraign Lady that now is is known to be c. For reformation whereof it is enacted That every such person and persons which since the beginning of this Parliament have by expresse words and sayings prayed required or desired or hereafter shall pray by express words or sayings That God would shorten her daies or take her out of the way whose life Almighty God long preserve or any such like malicious Prayer amounting to the same effect their Promoters Abetters therein shall be taken reputed and judged Traytors and every such praying requiring and desiring shall be judged taken and reputed High Treason And the Offendors therein their Procurours and Abetters being thereof lawfully convict according to the Laws of this Realm shall have suffer and forfeit as in Cases of High Treason Provided alwaies and be it enacted that if any Person or Persons shall be indicted for any the offences aforesaid done and perpetrated during this Session of this present Parliament and upon his or their arraignment shall shew him or themselves penitent for their offence and submit him or themselves to the Kings and Queens mercy and humbly desire the same before such Justices or Commissioners before whom he or they shall be arraigned that then no judgement of conviction or attaindour of Treason shall be given against any such Person or Persons so being penitent and submitting themselves And in every such case the Justices or Commissioners before whom such Person or Persons shall be arraigned shall have authority by virtue of this Act to prescribe adjudge and appoint such corporal punishment other than death to such offender and offenders as to them by their discretion shall seem convenient and upon that penance prescribed and done to be discharged of the said Treason comprised in that Judgement These prayers were much against and directly contrary to the Judgement of Archbishop Cranmer Bishop Farrer Bishop Hooper Rowland Taylor John Philpot John Bradford Edward Crome John Rogers Laurence Saunders Edward Laurence Miles Coverdale Bishop of ●…xon and other of our godly Protestant Bishops and Ministers who soon after suffered as Martyrs they in their Letter the 8. of May Anno Dom. 1554. professing That as obedient Subjects we shall behave our selves towards Queen Mary and all that be in Authority and not cease to pray to God for them that he would govern them all generally and particularly with the spirit of wisdom and grace and so we heartily desire and humbly pray all men to do in no point consenting to any kind of rebellion or sedition against our Soveraign Lady the Queens Highnesse but where they cannot obey but they must disobey God there to submit themselves with all patience and humility to suffer as the will and pleasure of the higher powers shall adjudge as we are ready through the goodness of the Lord to suffer whatsoever they shall adjudge us unto And Bishop Hooper writ an Apolo●…y against the slanderous Report made of him that he should encourage and maintain such as cursed Qu. Mary printed 1552. wherein his innocency and loyalty to the Queen in praying for her are vindicated at large In this Parliament there being a general opinion that Queen Mary was with child by King Philip her husband there was a special Act made that in case Queen Mary should die during her childs Minority that King Philip should have the education and protection of him In which Act. The Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons assembled in Parliament have firm hopes and confidence by the goodnesse of Almighty God that he will of his infinite goodnesse give the Queens Majesty and Highnesse strength the rather by our continual prayers so passe well the danger of deliverance of Child c. Upon this occasion the Popish Bishops Clergy and Churchmen made many Processions Masses Collects and Prayers to be daily said in all Churches for Qu. Maryes safe deliverance and her issue recorded at large by Mr. Fox where you may peruse them in one of which prayers there were these expressions Give unto our Queen thy servant a little infant in fashion and body comely and beautifull in pregnant wit notable and excellent Grant the same to be in obedience like Abraham in chastity and Brotherly love like Joseph in meeknesse and mildnesse like Moses in strength and valour like Sampson let him be found faithfull as David after thy heart let him be wise among Kings as the most wise Solomon let him be like Job a simple and an upright man fearing God and eschewing evil let him finally be garnished with the comlinesse of all virtuous conditions and in the same let him wax old and live that he may see his Childrens Children to the third and fourth generation And give ●…nto our Soveraign Lord and Lady King Philip and Queen Mary thy blessings and long-life upon earth and grant that of them may come kings and Queens which may stedfastly continue in faith love and holinesse And blessed be their seed of our God that all Nations may know thou art only God in all the earth which art bl●…ssed for ev●…r and ever Amen After Queen Maries decease Anno 1558. Masses and Popish Prayers being again abolished and the Book of Common Prayer restored by the Parliament of 1 Eliz. ch 2. there were the same prayers publickly used for the Queen both in

I was again calumniated in the self same kind though therein I at large dicovered censured the Treachery and disloyalty of Papists to their Soveraigns botb in their Doctrines and Treasonable practices which they since would charge me with whereupon I fully and particularly vindicated my self from this accusation afresh in my Mr. Pry●…ne the Member reconciled to Prynne the Barrester and other Treatises Having sufficiently cleared my innocency against all these reiterated aspersions coming into the House of Commons in November 1648. as a Member much against my will I did then in three several extemporary Speeches in the House upon the Armies presenting their treasonable Declaration from Saint Albans November the 20. demanding the King to be brought to publick Justice and the Prince and Duke of York to be banished and disinherited c. and upon the Kings seisure by the Army and removal from the Isle of Wight to bring him to his Trial and Execution declare my judgement at large against these their Demands Proceedings not onely as illegal and seditious but as TREASONABLE and PERFIDIOUS in the highest degree Whereupon on the 4. of December 1648. some implacable Enemies to the King endeavouring his destruction highly incensed against me for my zealous loyalty to preserve both his Royal Person and Dignity from their intended violence falsely and maliciously published and Printed a CHARGE against the King in my name purposely to defame me and stop my mouth from speaking my conscience freely in the great debate then on foot touching the satisfactoriness of the Kings Answer to the Propositions of both Houses upon the conclusion of the Personal Treaty with him in the Isle of Wight which false Imposture I meeting with that morning going to the House did there openly complain against it as a malicious Forgerie the very stile frame and expressions in it evidencing it to be none of mine After which I particularly disowned it in the beginning and refuted the whole scope of it and the Armies

Because all Kings Emperors Princes throughout the world when this Epistle was written and for above 500 years after but Lucius were Pagans Idolaters and for the most part bitter persecutors of the Saints Church of Christ and some transcendently impious flagitious especially Caligula Claudius and Nero under whom Paul lived and suffered Martyrdom with others of the Apostles and many hundreds of Christians yet even St. Paul himself exhorts first of all that supplications intercessions prayers and thanksgivings should be made for them by Timothy all other Christian●… then living under them 2ly Because the Apostles p●…ecedent and subsequent exhortation is universal for all Men for Kings and All that are in Authority If then we must make supplications prayers intercessions thanksgivings for all men good or bad then certainly for all Kings though the Apostle had not named Kings because all Kings are men and included in the general all men and if for all that are in Authority or Eminent place then certainly for all Kings being in supremest Authority and Eminency and included by name between those two universals All men All in Authority 3ly Because the subsequent words that under them we may lead a quiet and peaceable li●…e in all godliness and honesty And who will have all men to be saved and to come to ●…he know edge of the truth implies that the Kings and all in Authority at that time for whom they are exhorted to make supplications c. were persecutors under whom they had no present rest nor quietnesse and unconverted to the knowledge of the truth and means of salvation 4ly Because St. Pauls precept Rom. 12. 14. Blesse them which persecute you bless and curse not compared with v. 20 21. Rom. 13. 1 to 10. Titus 3. 1 2 3. paralleld with our Saviours own reiterated precept Mat. 5. 44 45. Luke 6. 27 28 29. But I say unto you love your Enemies Bless them that curse you do good to them that hate you and pray for them that despitefully use you and persecute you And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer him also the other and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also that you may be the children of your Father which is in heaven for he maketh his Sun to rise to the evil and to the good and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust Which precept relates principally to Kings and Rulers before whom they should be brought presecuted and put to death Mat. 10. 18 to 38. Lu. 21. 12 c. 5ly Because he never exhorted commanded encouraged in the least degree any Christians to curse or pray against their Kings though Pagans Tyrants Persecuters much lesse to rebell against depose or dethrone behead execute them If Christians then be thus exhorted obliged by the Apostle to make prayers supplic●…tions intercessions and thanksgivings even for their Persecuting Tyrannical Pagan wicked Kings not to depose murder execute them in High Courts of Justice or to extirpate their royal posterity Kingship and alter their form of Government which they are professedly prohibited to do for conscience sak●… under pain of damnation in di●…ect terms Rom. 13. 1 to 7. Tit. 3. 1. and 1 Pet. 2. 13 14. Then certainly they are much more obliged to make supplications prayers intercessions thanksgivings for●… their hereditary Christian Protestant Orthodox rightfull Kings and not to dethrone murder execute them in any strange High Courts of Justice nor to extirpate their royal issue Kingship and change their whole frame of Government from which they are expresly prohibited by these Gospel Texts and restrained by their Solemn Oathes of Aliegeance Fealty Supremacy Protestation Vow League Covenant under pain of eternal damnation and the guilt of highest Perjury Treachery Rebellion It was Sedulius his Apostrophe to Herod who feared our Saviour Christ would have deprived him of his earthly Crown Herodes hostis impie Non abripit mortalia Christum venire quid times Qui Regna dat coelestia Why wicked Herod do'st thou fear and at Christs coming frown The mortal he takes not away who gives the heavenly Crown Which Claudius thus seconds That King
