THE EARLE OF ESSEX HIS Loyaltie and love TO HIS KING and COVNTREY VVith his five Propositions propounded to his Armie at his late Siege at SHREWSBURY Wherein is apparantly manifested his faith and love to God and his Countrey London Printed for G. K. oct. 20. 1642. The Earle of Essex his loyaltie and love to his King and Countrey with his propositions propounded to his Army at his late siege at SHREWSBURY HIS Excellence the Earle of Essex still endeavouring for the good welfare of his King and a peace and fraternity to and amongst his Subjects having had severall parties and more debates concerning our now conditionall estate yet finding no love from thence but meere opposition and still thirsting more and more for the effusion of blood of the Malignants of this now distressed Kingdom of England and still craving from our soveraigne Lord the King a faire reconciliation without more effusion betweene himselfe and his Parliament and having informarion that the Kings most excellent Matie. intends with all expedition to seize into his custody as many and so many of the strongest holds and forts of this Kingdome as possibly he may leaving therein a sufficient Garison of men and Arms to oppose the happie and hoped proceedings of this Parliament our lives liberties estates and priviledges are more and more endangered His Excellence out of his especiall love and abundant care of the good of his King parliament Kingdome caused sufficient aid of men and Arms to be dispatcht and conveyed to all such Cities Ports Forts and strong holds as mght prejudice the good effects of this Parliament and therein sufficient Garrison to oppose the Malignants of this agrieved Kingdome to the comfort and good of all countries especially the well affected partie of this Common-wealth And therefore in especiall wise did admonish and impart these ensuing particulars for the better satisfaction of every particular conscience 1. That the sufferances we have undergone are reduced into two heads The first concerning God the next the Common-wealth 2. And as it is the first cause concerning God so it deserves to be the first fruits of our labour being the first and immediate honour due to God and of great weight and validitie and more inestimate then this vast Vniverse Therefore we ought to serve in Gods cause to draw a blessing on our King and Kingdomes cause 3. The Common-wealth hath for a long time groaned under a most heavy burden and the poore distressed Subject sadly laments stil hoping to be relieved he being scarce able to distinguish between Law and Power the one of great consequence and a branch of tranquility Law and Government yet abused the other a Power which over-ruled that Law and Government cum privilegio 4. That God having weighed his cause finding it stuft and ramm'd with manifold works of Satan and more and more endeavouring still to creep in he in especiall wise took upon him his owne just and irreproveable cause and raised us as instruments for so good a worke And that being performed our King is not onely blest by a rich possession in enjoying the blessed and plenteous flowing of the Gospel but also an eternity hereafter Therefore as you are Members of God and Subjects to our Soveraign Lord the King first in Gods name put to your helping hands for Gods cause your King and Kingdomes cause and for a confirmation of that hoped blissefull comfort the Gospel which shall bring us and our posterity in the future to eternitie and for a blessed and comfortable raigne to our deare Soveraigne and his Royall Progenie the good and comfort of our present condition the liberty priviledg and freedome of a Christian Subject and for a happy and blessed union betweene King and people and therein we are ever honoured and our selves worthy to be called Gods children Here in is manifested and made known the faith and love of so good a Subject both in Gods cause his King and Kingdoms cause and it is hoped that no honest indifferent Subject that aimes at the well and peacefull raign of our Soveraign and the peace wel-fare of this Common-wealth can any way repine or be offended but rather adde to their love and loyaltie from hence a better portion God save the King and Parliament FINIS A Tyrannical Government if perfected
