bondage to serve themselves and their own wealth That 's true wealth Common wealth And the People free living in the bosome of the King in his authority and greatnesse they have a true right to it as they have to any thing The Court is their Fathers house the Thro●● their own home where every subject dwels and lives in the Kings honour and presence Sixtly In this we have A right understanding between King and Parliament The wisdome of God to shew us a way of peace the true light shining from heaven upon us the night of our mistakes is past The princes of darknesse is thrown down and we are translated out of a kingdom of darknesse into the Kingdom of God in which we shall alwaies have the true wisdom to guid us Seventhly Here likewise have we AN ACT OF OBLIVION whereby all transgressions are blotted out all carried into the depth of the Sea where sinne if it be sought for it shall not be found such a fulnesse of pleasure and satisfaction as will not admit a thought of revenge if we shall remember past things it will be with joy and thanks to each other for in hurting we have saved one another wherein we have done evill to any it is turned to their good The KING will thank the Parliament for rising against him and the Parliament thank the KING for leaving of them There is GOD and perfect good in all that every party hath suffered HAPPINES it selfe England now hath a confluence of the riches of Heaven and Earth in one blessednesse England a glorious Land the Land of God abounding in store trade justice peace amity We are fallen but as hath been expected WE RISE AS ONE MAN England acted by one head one spirit is become one man every one loving another as himselfe and rising against the COMMON ENEMY the Devill the Destroyer who is and hath been our only enemy we hate none but him and by this RISING we free our selves from him As this satisfies the publick so every particular interest or all interests are here satisfied and brought into one interest which is the true nature of an interest to be in others a joynt or common subsistence every part made cleane and right and so interweaved into one intire garment which is the excellency of Divine works they are large and save all that 's a humane and devillish designe that saves one by the ruine of another but that is Gods way to save all so as the salvation of one is the salvation of another Now here you see all contented The KING as all have sworn and prayed advanced into honour and greatnesse freed from prison from chaines of darknesse wherein he hath been held brought out of a low dungeon of wrath and heavie affliction to the highest Throre of Majesty Person and Office restored from blacknesse and foulnesse to splendor and brighenesse into the Majestie of God and that performed which the Parliament often promised A GLORIOUS KING a KING in the glory of God or the glorious God the Immortall KING Reigning in man and over men Sir this is your true Interest it s your life and soule I know t is your heart though yet lying his T is the Key will unlock your spirit and bring it cut into the light and liberty of God unlock your understanding after seven times have passed over you you shall returne to your Threne and true Majesty shall be given to you and your Nobles and Kingdomes shall honour you all shall freely bow to you and you shall command Reigne againe to the terrour of your adversaries and joy of your friends now the Prison doores stand open to you and you shall returne to your Royall Parliament and City after seven yeares banishment We have now a King in whom we can confide as in God now the LORD lives in him t is impiety and wickednesse to have a thought of distrust concerning him the sure justice and righteousnesse of God in habits in the Throne as it s propet place We have a King according to our own hearts he lives in our hearts arises out of our hearts and our hearts give him his dominion he hath all we have and hath not too much because he hath us too and nothing but what we freely give one higher by the head then all the People having the wisdome of the whole in him of the largest understanding and therefore King because he doth in true worth excell any in the Nation and is of all men fittest to reign fitted by his great suffering and Gods fulnesse dwelling in him This is the QVEENS interest she may return to the King there is no feare now she cannot hurt either Parliament or Religion both being in such a condition as cannot be hurt besides living in this light of all she shall most love the Parliament It being the same with her self the Kings Consort she being the same with it concurting together in severall wayes to help and honour the King if she should attempt any thing against it it would be against the King and her selfe The Parliament administring about the affaires of the Kingdome that the King may enjoy his Queen and Family with greatest plenty honour ease and pleasure and the Queen administring in the domesticall affaires of the King about his Person that the King may enjoy his Parliament and people in greatest content and freedom The Parliament in businesse of State a Queen lying in the bosome of the King and the Queen in private and personall affaires a Parliament and so Parliament and Queen interested ioyn'd in one interest And for her religion we are now so far from being afraid of it that we rejoyce in it and in her great interest in the Papacie For as the Papists had by her designs upon us so now the stream being turned we shall by her design upon them and over-run the whole Papacie with light and truth she shall be the doore by which we shall enter into all the riches and honours of the Papacie and without injurie to them we shall spoile them of all their glory or rather bring a glorious fire amongst them that shall out shine theirs and burn up theirs into it self The Prince his Interest is here satisfied he is indeed one with the Parliament they and he are brethren descended both from the loyns of the King and are one in various forms each being the glory of the King ane the staffe of his age Christened at the same Font the Spirit of Christ both the hope and joy of England both being the glory of the King propagated unto eternity a never failing off spring and flourishing in the vigour and youthfulnesse of the Son of God both interested into Christ or the interest of Christ and so of each other The Lords who have lost their Nobility sunck in disgrace scattered and almost buried in dishonour by this shall be restored not to airy empty Titles but to true Nobility The Lord
