Armes that we might deliver Him safe into the Embraces of his King and Brother Behold Him come His Sailes fill'd with Honour and Renown Though surly Nereus dreading His own Overthrow had laid an Ambush behind a Mountainous Wave to encounter Him But He was not to be overcome in those Seas on which He had Victoriously rode High Admiral To Him Neptune must Bow though armed with His Trident and mounted on the Leviathan And one would guess 't was in pursuance of this League Marine that he so lately sent in his High and Mighty Flouds to invade the Low Countrys lest himself should be again controuled by that dreadful Power he never could withstand Therefore in vain do you strive you handful of discontented Common-wealths-men in vain do you set yourselves against this Hero you shall be forced to contribute to his Greatness whom all the World admires even your Meritorious sufferings shall add to his Glory And now Kind Reader take one view more and then farewel Behold the King like Solomon in the mid'st of the Multitude of his Councellors consulting the safety of himself and of his Kingdoms dispencing his gentle Influences every where and like a Deity warming the coldest corners of the Land And then cast your Eyes on a Rebellious and stiff-necked Nation such as Israel was of Old wanton with ease and plenty froward and discontented Who would never serve their God but only as they pleased nor obey their Prince in any of his just Commands And after this prospect Review our Hero whose Vertues are a Task for the whole World to imitate And see him in Obedience to his Kings Commands making an easy Progress into the Hearts of these untameable People though the way that leads to their Hearts as well to as their Country is naturally Subject to many difficulties See him Settling Confirming and giving a Lustre to that Religion that here we would exclude him from together with his Birth-right and make him wander for a God as well as for a Country Behold him incouraging the Kings Loyal and good Subjects and reducing the unsettled minds of a discontented Party into their due Obedience Thus our High Commissioner has God and the King Religion and Loyalty to justify his proceedings whilst those who Damn him with their pretended God with Us are like to suffer Heavens Vengeance for their Presumption if God gives them not the Grace of Repentance Now from these and several other Reasons that may be given I hope there is none that will be so foolish or obstinately wicked as to persist in the Opinion of the Duke's separating himself from the Interest of the King and Kingdom after so many instances to evince the contrary But if any sort of Men can be so Crazy or Mad to continue in so palpable an error the World must conclude them busy bodies and Medlers in what they have nothing to do Common-wealths-men Trayterous Associators and such as would disturb the present Government and for a livelyhood would wish our Waters as much disturbed or more then the Hollanders were by their late Inundation And whilst these Incendiaries remain Faction cannot be thought strange or Rebellion quite out of Fashion Especially when His Royal Highness King's only Brother shall be Assassinated in Effigie for want of a fitter opportunity to exercise their Malice upon His Person T is against the Duke they lay their Seige against the Duke they ingage a Party But the Government is not so unwary as not to provide against their dangerous approaches knowing their Squint-Eyed Revenge carries with it a Malicious intent against the Person of His Sacred Majesty But to conclude were I to give my Opinion what remedy might best serve to Cure this Kings-Evil it should be to be Touch'd were it not so Universal that it would prove the greater evil of the two in bringing a Consumption upon the Kings Exchequer which none can so well remedy as a Loyal Grateful Parliament by making a bountiful return to their most Gracious King and Governor I shall say no more who am but a Wellwisher to the King and Kingdom Only may Heaven preserve His Majesty and this Government as now Establish'd And may His Majesty have a long and happy Reign And when He has finished His Days may his Memory be renowned to future Ages as His Clemency and Goodness has been manifested to Us and the rest of the World in This. AN ADMONITION TO THE Roman Catholicks I Am sensible whatever you hold of the Infallibility of the Pope that you who are of that Perswasion are not Infallible otherways you would not have insinuated an Opinion of the Duke of Yorks being a Papist amongst the King's Leige People and at last suffer your selves to be mistaken Notwithstanding at that time you had drawn so great a Party of the King's Subjects into your confederacy It was a Malevolent Conjunction and had an ill Aspect on the Government and render'd it unstable and tottering even in the Opinion of those who guided the great Affairs of State under His Majesty It was therefore your very good Luck to lay hold on the Horns of the Altar to seek the Mercy of the King whom you have highly offended such Mercy and such Goodness you could never expect in any other Age The Justice of the Kingdome cry'd alowd for Vengeance against your Plots and Designs against the Life of the King His Royal Brother and Friends Yet you see those very Lives which were Trayterously intended to be taken away are now interposing between you and Danger and the Second Person in the Kingdom is here Mediating with the King of England to remember Mercy in Justice and to spare those who have no reason to expect any Favour since They have so highly offended Therefore May it now happen to you as when our Saviour gave that Kind Admonition to His Criminal Go Sin no more lest a worse thing happen to you For in vain you perswade the Ignorant and simple People that our Princes are Papists and our Ministry and Gentry Popishly Affected When their Pious Resolutions as well as Interest are never to return again to the slavery of the Papal-See upon any Opportunity whatsoever Therefore let me advise you as a Friend joyn not with those Dissenters which your selves have made Assist not in their Meetings fill not their Congregations neither Reconcile them to Rome nor draw them from their Allegiance but suffer them rather with your selves to be converted to the Communion of the Church of England and to the Government of the King Renouncing all Forreign Powers and Jurisdictions which may alianate your Affections and Obligations to our present Government as by Law Establish'd either in Church or State This is the Way walk in it and those who bold out to the end shall be Happy AN ADDRESS TO HIS Royal Highness JAMES Duke of York c. WElcome Great Prince thrice wel-come to a Land Where even your Foes stretch out your Command And make You fitter to assist the Crown Whilst at their charge You purchase in Renown This they perceived and spitefully seem'd good Tho' now their wicked Plots are understood 'T is they who sought to undermine the Throne Who call'd you Traytor and would prove you one In Hell they laid their Scene and their Consult Was a Packt Juncto Treason their Result But You run Counter to their deep Designs And Ferret them about with Counter-mines No Poysonous Vapours from the Shades below Nor sullen Treasons from vile Men can s●●w No State Disease or Forreign evils sell But You exhale or wisely can expel Your strickt Example is a Vertuous spell To better Good and make the Bad do well Thus whilst to Duty You do shew the way In different Orbes we constantly obey Making Great Charles sit safely in his Wain And Rule the World with a soft gentle Reign O Happy King O Happy we that can Trust in a Prince Rest in so just a Man FINIS Some Books lately Printed for and are to be Sold by James Vade at the Cock and Sugar Loaf near St. Dunstan's Church in Fleet-street 1682.
