fecit contra pacem regni disturbantes set forth a Proclamation against all such as should any way disturb the quiet of the Realm by plundering or stealing c. And that if any man should presume to steal but a Cow or a Sheep vel aliquid aliud saith mine Author he should surely be put to death These were the petty devices of that Age to pump and drain the huge sink of the Kingdome but the Staple Policy was by a Forraign Expedition like a wide fluce to let out all the filth at once for which purpose therefore among others it was resolved upon that a great Army should be raised under the command of the Prince for a voyage to Palestine And by this course especially did his Majesty soon spend the insolencies of his own and the Rebels Souldiers So at a late Dyet or Parliament in Germany after they had undutifully strived with the Emperor and wasted the Empire it was concluded that things should be reduced to the same state as it was in the year 1618. made lawlesse by the late unavoidable Liberty of Civil Arms. And here was an end of this wasting groundlesse unnaturall War wherein the subject having strugled and wrestled with Soveraignty till they had wasted the Kingdom and wearied themselves at last are content to sit down by the losse to let the King have his own rights again and some of theirs according to the usuall event and issue of such imbroylments The Corollary Out of this brief Narration may be extracted somewhat that may be useful both to the King and to the subject To the King First for preventing seditions and rebellions then for setling a Kingdome after a rebellion supprest For the first That he beware how he entrust the government of his Kingdome wholly to others How he suffer his Favourites and great Officers of State to suck him into necessity and inthral him by indigency and be thereby drawn by extraordinary and illegal Impositions and Taxes to vex and alienate the hearts and affections of his subjects and then as he must be constrain'd to fly unto them for relief and counsel in Parliament where he must then run the hazard of being subject to his subjects and they will be Kings over their King where he must then be content to be lesse then he should be and they will be more where they may make advantage of his necessity and he must undergo many hard censures and be vexed with undutiful demands before they will relieve him * As in the y●er 1641 and 1642. But whether the subject part with his mony or not let the King take heed of ever parting with his power Then after the heat and heart of a rebellion is broken not to be over-severe against any lest the rest grow desperate Severity may blow up but seldome blow out the flames of a rebellion Yet to shew some acts of power as well as of grace and mercy not to use the extremity of justice lest he thereby renew the present rebellion yet to shew some justice to prevent a future By a sweet mixture of mercy and justice the King shall at once both humble and oblige his delinquent subjects by mercy in not taking the rigour of the Law by justice in taking a part of the law by this he shall humble them in taking so much by that he shall oblige them in taking no more Next to take special care in rewarding and cherishing and countenancing and remembring before others all those that stuck close unto him that by their persons or their purses shewed themselves really for him and without all fallacy loyal After this to prepare speedily for some forraign expedition wherein to imploy all the late active spirits and working heads who will soon make work again at home if they have not work abroad Lastly to place some one as a Scavenger in every Cou●ty to carry away the dregs left behind such as will not goe beyond sea cannot work and are ashamed to beg To the Subject First that they suffer not themselves to be abused and seduced into disloyalty by any ambitious unquiet cunning spirits upon what pretences soever and when Liberty Religion or any publick good is pretended then most of all to suspect private ends Next that the subject seldome get by this course but often lose their former ancient Liberties and Priviledges according to that very observable though not observed Maxime EVERy REBellion supprest makes the King more King and the subject more subject Lastly that taking Arms without the Kings authority upon what pretences soever be they never so fair as for Religion or Liberty never so foolish as that it is not against the King but for the King is most abominable in the eyes of God and though it seem to prosper for a time yet in the end is most surely and severely punished ending commonly in a general impoverishment if not the ruine of the subject and some dreadful judgement upon the contrivers Pro. 24.21 and 22.
