Dr. HOLLINGWORTH'S DEFENCE OF K. CHARLES the First 's Holy and Divine Book called ΕΙΚΩΝ ΒΑΣΙΛΙΚΗ Against the Rude and Undutiful Assaults of the late Dr. Walker of Essex PROVING By Living and Unquestionable Evidences the aforesaid Book to be that Royal Martyr's and not Dr. Gauden's Imprimatur Maii 2. 1692. Carolus Alston R. P. D. Hen. Episc Lond. à Sacris London Printed for Samuel Eddowes under the Piazza of the Royal Exchange in Cornhill 1692. To the READER Reader IT is a thing of very sad consideration to all wise and good men in the Nation to think that at this time of the day when we have a noble Prince brandishing his Sword abroad and as noble a Princess indefatigably attending the publick Affairs at home in order to preserve the Religion and Laws of their Country that there should be a Generation of Men at the same time rendring them their Thanks for all Their Care and Pains by villifying their Grandfather and extolling every scurrilous Pamphlet that lessens the deserved Honour and Reputation of that great and good man What this means and what it is designed for every man that hath but half an Eye in his Head may easily see And tho' many of their pretences of Love and Duty to Their present Majesties are very great yet it is plain these Attempts upon the Name and Memory of K. Charles I. are in order to a Common-wealth or else to bring the Monarchy to the Standard of Venice or Genoua and therefore I think no man is to be blamed at this time for standing up for the ancient Constitution of the Kingdom and in order to it for defending that Prince who notwithstanding all unjust Reflections did grant as much nay more for preserving it than any King that had reigned before him which he that reads over his History impartially must needs confess or else I am sure he must wilfully shut his Eyes against the clearest Light for I am certain there was nothing offered him that could make the Kingdom truly happy but he was willing to hearken to it and comply with it By what means all his Condescentions proved in vain it is the easiest thing to understand a few proud and ambitious persons had got the Power in their Hands by their Interest in a corrupt and enthusiastical Army and rather than return to their old stations again they chose to break through all the Guards and Fences of Law all the Oaths they had taken and against the Sence the Petitions and earnest Desires of the Nation in general to imbrew their Hands in their Prince's Blood an action for which the Honour of the Kingdom has been stained ever since But that after all this and the Ruines that one Act has brought upon us we of this Age should be so mad and intoxicated as to vindicate it and appland every thing that justifies that horrid Murder is a thing I may say without a parallel and causes great thoughts of heart amongst all disereet and thinking men and withal that such a Book as Dr. Walker's late Book against King Charles's incomparable Writings should be so magnified and applanded has to my own knowledge as much amazed as well as grieved a great part of the Subjects of this Kingdom and therefore I thought it necessary for the casing the minds of those good men to let the World see what a Forgery that Book of Dr. Walker's was and if honest plain and living Testimonies will convince his Admirers I am sure I shall now do it I have omitted in this Answer many Inconsistencies in the Dr's Book because I was resolved to dwell upon matter of Fact and withal I have forborn returning those Scurrilities and Scorns he has loaded me withal upon himself for I consider'd him as dead and therefore have been as civil to him as the nature of my Undertaking would allow me and I wish with all my Heart he had survived the publishing his Book that he might have had time to have repented of such an unseasonable false and undutiful a Book as this of his is whereby he has gratified none but the great Enemies of Monarchy and Episcopacy Reader I have but one thing more to add and that is if any man question the Truth of those living Evidences I have quoted if he pleases to come to me I will wait upon him to them and he shall have satisfaction from themselves of the Truth of what I have writ The God of Heaven and Earth restore all the People of this Nation to sound Minds to impartial Considerations of Persons and Things especially of the Person and Cause of King Charles the First that so we may not be disappointed of our hopes and expectations of Success this Summer by Sea and Land by provoking God by vindicating the barbarons dealings of a base Faction with him for he that vindicates them repeats and as far as he is able commits them over again which I am sure is a great Sin and without great Mercy will have a suitable Punishment one time or other from Heaven Farewel King CHARLES the First 's ἘΙΚΩΝ ΒΑΣΙΛΙΚΗ OR THE Portraiture of his Sacred Majesty in his Solitude and Sufferings VINDICATED THERE is a Book lately publish'd that hath made a great noise in the City and Country and hath occasion'd a great many false and spiteful Reflections upon my self which I must tell the World I am so far from being really burthen'd with the Thoughts of that I look upon them as the greatest Honour done to me and to my Memory when I am dead and gone considering it is for an honest and seasonable Zeal for the Honour and Reputation of King Charles the First whose Name notwithstanding all villanous and designing Reflections will smell sweet to all Ages and Generations to come How this Book hath been bought up and carried up and down in Triumph all men of any Observation know and all good men are grieved at it And now the Point is gained and that for which that Great King was so highly venerated so deservedly applauded and indeed upon the score of which the greatest part of his Actions were vindicated is now proved a Cheat and a Forgery and therefore he truly is guilty of what by the then Parliament was laid to his Charge and made the reason of their War against him and at last of the Murther of him This is sad News in deed if it can be unquestionably made out and those many of us that have defended the Interest and Innocence of this King have great cause to lay our Hands upon our Breasts and say What have we done But stay a little bare Assertions and Accusations were never yet amongst Wise and Good Men admitted as satisfactory Proofs and therefore this Book must be consider'd and examined and weighed in a just and proper Ballance before we down upon our Knees and acknowledge our Faults for defending and standing up for this good and admirable Person And therefore I so far
