Apostle and the whole strain of Primitive Christian Writers that Kings are Gods Vice-gerents upon earth and that the Supream especially the Royal power is the Ordinance of God But Secondly if these principles be so contrary to the Doctrines of Christ and Primitive Christianity then we may learn how much it is our duty to abhor them and beware of them that hold and teach them how much soever they may talk of the purity of the Gospel and how zealous soever for the Protestant Religion they may seem to be For the Protestant Religion is but another name for Primitive Christianity and a Protestant for a Primitive Christian who protests against all the corruptions of the Gospel by Popery and Popery having apparently corrupted the Gospel in the Doctrines of Obedience and Submission and the Divine Authority of the Supream power especially of Kings they cannot be sound and Orthodox Protestants who hold the very same destructive principles to Regal Government by which the Papists have corrupted the Gospel in those points No they are not sound and Orthodox Protestants but Protestants popishly affected Papists under a Protestant dress Wolves in Sheeps cloathing Rebellious and Satanical spirits transformed into Angels of Light They were such Protestants or Protestant Jesuites as these that formerly set up Jesus among us against Caesar Christ against his own Gospel the Apostles against their own Doctrine and practice and by corrupting and perverting the Gospel of peace brought the people of this Nation to turn their * This the sword not disputes nor Treaties that must end this controversie wherefore turn your Plow shares into Swords and your Pruning-books into Spears to fight the Lords battels Love at Uxbridge Jan. 30. 1644. p. 7.

Plow-shares into Swords and rise up against the best of Princes in the most causeless and unnatural rebellion that ever was in the world They were such Protestants as these that have made so many Protestant Plots raised so many Protestant tumults and rebellions and committed so many Protestant murders and assassinations in these Kingdoms and perhaps shed more Protestant blood in them than was shed in the first Ten famous Persecutions and in one word such Protestants and zealous Protestants they were who shed the direful blood of this day You may know them by their works and by their words and phrases too For their Throat is as an open Sepulchre with their tongues they use deceit the poyson of Asps is under their lips Their mouth is full of cursing or fraudulent imprecations and bitterness destruction and misery are in their wayes and the wayes of peace they have not known As there was never so much need to warn the people against the Papists so there was never greater need to warn them against these Popish Protestants who have brought an indelible scandal upon the Protestant Religion by this great abomination and thereby made this Protestant Land an hissing and the Protestants of it to be a reproach and a proverb and a taunt and
a curse in all places and yet we see they are so far from undoing what they formerly did and abhorring themselves for their former practices that if you compare the former and these later things which have hapned together you will find them speaking to the people in the very same Prologue and already entred upon the same prelude that preceeded the beginning of that Execrable Tragedy which they concluded this day Search in the books of the Records of your fathers and you shall find and know that the men of these unchristian principles have been a rebellious people hurtful to Kings and Princes and that they have of old time moved Sedition within this City and Kingdom and turned the world upside down And since the same principles will upon the same occasion eternally act the same things it behoves us as we are Christians and Subjects to beware of them and as we tender our private and publick welfare to be very vigilant over them lest by their hands we be brought again to confusion Anarchy and blood But in the last place if these principles and the practices of the Pharisees that held them have been so contrary to the principles and practices of Christ and the primitive Christians we may see how much it is our duty to mourn and lament for such apparent and grievous violations of the Gospel by Gospel-professors but especially for the last Scene of that horrid Tragedy of rebellion which they acted this day That such a wickedness should be committed in our Israel in a Protestant Country upon a Protestant King and by Protestant Subjects pretending to so much light ought to make us ashamed and blush to lift up our eyes to Heaven and weep were it possible tears of blood Was it thus that we rendred unto Caesar the things that are Caesars Was it thus that we owned him to be Gods Minister and our duty to obey him not only for wrath but Conscience-sake Was this the way to be subject to principalities and powers and did we thus submit our selves for the Lords sake to the King as Supream and unto those that were sent by him Was it thus that we resisted unto blood Did we thus learn of Christ and was it thus that we contended for the purity of the Gospel We I say because so many of all ranks and conditions were engaged in that unchristian Rebellion which brought on this detestable act as to make them both national crimes All that any way slandered the King and his Government all that endeavoured to make him odious or contemptible to his people all that preached or printed or spoke Sedition all that raised uproars and tumults all that furnished plate or money or set forth men horse or arms against him Nay all that had evil will unto him how much soever they pretended to the Spirit were more or less in Gods eyes guilty of the Rebellion which was begun by the Representatives of the people and all along carried on in their name Great reason therefore have we and the children that shall come after us the men of Judah and the Inhabitants of Jerusalem all Israel that are near and that are far off to be humbled before God for this abomination and for our own sins and the sins of our fathers which hath caused him to pour forth the curse and bring so great an evil upon us as on this day It was for our iniquities that We our King and our Priests were delivered to the Sword to Captivity and to a spoil and to confusion of face on this day May it please God to hear the prayers and accept the humiliation of his people and divert his heavy judgments which seem to hang over us for such an execrable fact May it please him by the precious blood of Christ which speaketh better things than that of Abel to purge the whole Nation from the guilt of all the righteous blood which was shed in it from that Noble blood of which our Soveraign did repent to his own which was shed upon this day Oh that it may neither ly upon us nor upon our children oh that the voice of it may not cry unto God for vengeance from the ground and oh that his Soul like the Souls of the Martyrs under the Altar be not yet crying out how long O Lord holy and true dost Thou not judge and avenge my blood Grant this O Blessed Jesu for the infinite merits of thy own blood which was shed for those that shed it and which is a full perfect and sufficient atonement for the sins of the whole world Amen FINIS BOOKS Printed for Walter Kettilby at the Bishop's-head in St. Paul's Church-Yard THE Spirit of Popery speaking out of the mouths of Phanatical Protestants or the last Speeches of John Kid and John King two Presbyterian Ministers Fol.
