A65154	A healing question propounded and resolved upon occasion of the late publique and seasonable call to humiliation in order to love and union amongst the honest party, and with a desire to apply balsome to the wound, before it become incurable.	Vane, Henry, Sir, 1612?-1662.	1656 (1656)	Wing V69; ESTC R38388	16,135	28

consider two particulars more that give still further light into the matter in question as first The qualifications of the Persons that have adhered to this Cause Secondly the capacity wherein they have been found from time to time carrying it on As to their Qualification they have in the general distinguished themselves and been made known by a forwardness to assist and own the publique welfare and good of the Nation for the attaining and preserving the just rights and liberties thereof asserted and witnessed unto in the true stating of this Cause according to the two branches thereof already spoken to They have shewed themselves upon all occasions desirers and lovers of true freedom either in civils or in spirituals or in both To express their value thereof and faithfulnes to the same they have largely contributed in one kind or other what was proper to each in his place to do wch actions of theirs proceeding from hearts sincerely affected to the cause created in them aright to be of an Incorporation and Society by themselves under the name of the good Party having been from the beginning unto this day publiquely and commonly so acknowledged by way of distinction from all Neuters close and open Enemies and deceitfull Friends or Apostates These in order to the maintaining of this Cause have stood by the Army in defence and support thereof against all opposition whatever as those that by the growing light of these times have been taught and led forth in their experiences to look above and beyond the letter forme and outward circumstances of government into the inward reason and spirit thereof herein only to fix and terminate to the leaving behind all empty shadows that would obtrude themselves in the place of true freedome Secondly as to the capacity wherein these persons thus qualified have acted it hath been very variable and subject to great changes sometimes in one form and sometimes in another and very seldome if ever at all so exactly and in all points consonant to the rule of former Lawes and Constitutions of Government as to be clearly and fully justified by them any longer then the Law of Successe and Conquest did uphold them who had the inward warrant of Justice and Righteousnesse to encourage them in such their actings The utmost and last reserve therefore which they have had in case all other failed hath been their military capacity not only strictly taken for the standing Army but in the largest sense wherein the whole party may with the Army and under that military constitution and conduct which by the providence of God they shall then be found in associate themselves in the best order they can for the common defence and safety of the whole As not ignorant that when once embodied in this their Military posture in such manner as by common consent shall be found requisite for the safety of the body they are most irresistible absolute and comprehensive in their power having that wherein the substance of all Government is contained and under the protection whereof and safety that may be maintained thereby they can contrive and determine in what manner this irresistible absolute and boundless power unto which they are now arrived in this their Military capacity shall have just and due limits set unto it and be drawn out in a meet and orderly way of exercise for the Commonweale and safety of the whole Body under the rule and oversight of a Supreme Judicature unto the wisedome of whose lawes and orders the sword is to become most entirely subject and subservient And this without the least cause of jealousie or unsafety either to the standing Army or any member thereof or unto the good people adhering to this Cause or any one of them since the interest of both by this mutual action of either will be so combined together in one even in that wherein before they were distinct that all just cause of difference fear animosity emulation jealousie or the like will be wholly abolished and removed For when once the whole body of the good people find that the Military interest capacity is their own and that into which necessity at the last may bring the whole Party whereof of right a place is to be reserved for them and that herein they are so far from being in subjection or slavery that in this posture they are most properly soveraign and possesse their right of natural soveraignty they will presently see a necessity of continuing ever one with their Army raised and maintained by them for the promoting this Cause against the common Enemy who in his next attempt will put for all with greater desperatenesse and rage then ever Again when once the standing Army and their Governours shall also find that by setting and keeping up themselves in a divided interest from the rest of the Body of Honest men they withhold from themselves those contributions in all voluntary and cheerful assistances by the affections and prayers by the persons and purses of the good party to the weakening themselves thereby as to any vigerous support from them in the times of most imminent danger whereof the late King had an experience that will not suddenly be out of memory when he undertook the war in the beginning of these troubles against the Scots and was in a manner therein deserted by all the good party in England they will then find if they stay not till it be too late that by espousing the interest of the people in submitting themselves with their fellow adherents to the Cause under the rule and authority of their own Supreme Judicature they lose not their Power or Soveraignty but becoming one Civil or Politique Incorporation with the whole party of honest men they doe therein keep the Soveraignty as originally seated in themselves and part with it only but as by deputation and representation of themselves when it is brought into an orderly way of exercise by being put into the hands of persons chosen and entrusted by themselves to that purpose By this mutual and happy transition which may be made between the party of Honest men in the Three Nations virtually in Arms and those actually so now in power at the Head of the Army how suddenly would the union of the whole Body be consolidated and made so firm as it will not need to fear all the designes and attempts of the common Enemy especially if herein they unite themselves in the first place to the Lord as willing to follow his providence and observe his will in the way and manner of bringing this to passe In which case we shall not need to fear what all the gates of hell are able to do in opposition thereunto It is not then the standing and being of the present Army and Military forces in the three Nations that is lyable to exception or offence from any dissenting judgements at this time amongst the honest well affected party In and with them under God stand
