A89083	The fidelity, obedience, and valour of the English-nation, declared, by way of pacification of His Majesty, and desire of a re-union between His Majesty and the Parliament. As also, that the present forces now ready to bicker here in England may be turn'd to revenge the losse of the Protestants blood in Ireland, shed by those babarous Irish rebels. / Written by Walter Meredith. Gent.	Meredith, Walter.	1642 (1642)	Wing M1785; Thomason E109_8; ESTC R7077	6,387	15

for very joy the then Prince our hopes and now our Soveraigne Lord the King was safely returned amongst us And as for the Cities of London and Westminster and the places adjacent thereunto they began their Chrismas then and never ended their mirth and joy for having their Prince again till Lent came that they must make themselves apt by prayer and fasting to condole the sorrows of our Saviours sufferings for our sins All this joy I confesse was but our duties and I hope my gracious Lord the King like to Almighty God whose Vicegerent over us here on earth he is will accept it graciously though it were our duties and remember it proceeded out of a faithfull and cordiall love to him and remembring it now in his greatest anger may alay his wrath and move him to love and imbrace us like a loving and gracious Soveraigne And then he shall see the fidelity and obedience of the English Nation towards him is not one jot abated but much encreased for His honour and safety Oh royall Soveraigne try and if it prove not so hang me up for a lyer And let not my Lord the King be angry with me for speaking this one time for I speake out of the aboundant desire of my heart to preserve my King and Countrey from destruction I have hitherto observed Gods wonderfull preservation of His Majesty and this Kingdome and that God hath done by us as our Saviour did in the Gospell when he cured the blind man by applying that to restore his sight which to mans sence would have put out his eyes Spitle and Clay so by contrary meanes God hath wrought honour to our King and happinesse to our Nation I thus apply it the Kingdome of Scotland lately issued forth an Army upon us and His Majesty offended at it raised a Counter-Army here against them there wanted nothing but to charge the onset then see the wonders of the Lord the English continuing stil their love and obedience petitions the King for admittance of a treaty He heard them and by Gods blessing an everlasting peace we hope between us and that Nation was confirmed So that as it is truly said Henry joynd the Roses and Iames the Kingdoms I may justly say that Charles hath joynd the hearts So that what was left unperfected by His Royall Father is now perfected by him Glory be to God and honour to His Majesty for the same Here are now our weapons drawn shall we sheath them in our own bowels God forbid upon the bended knees of my heart I beseech God His Majesty will daigne to accord and hearken to His Councell the Parliament in this contest as he did to his English Lords in that and no doubt but another great addition of fame and honour will thereby redound to His Majesty Speedy love and peace here in England will doe it otherwise not Let my Lord the King and Parliament consider there is now ready in the North a great Army and preparation for other force here in the South if they clash they cannot long continue but as was well observed by an Honourable person in this Kingdome that the one must suddenly ruine the other or both destroy the Kingdome If King and people joyne here in peace the cost of those preparations need not be lost for God hath given us an opportunity to turne the points of our Swords another way I meane toward Ireland the safety whereof much concernes all His Majesties other Kingdomes There is just cause of revenge for the blood of so many poore Christian Protestants of this our English Nation spilt by those barbarous and cruell Rebels whose savage cruelties cannot be paralleld So may my Lord the King perfect that worke there which his Noble Progenitors left unperfect that is to root out that hollow-hearted people the popish Irish who as long as they adheare to the Popes supremacy can never be loyall subjects to their King and plant good men there that truly fear God who may serve his Majesty with all fidelity and obedience in times of peace and valourously in time of warre as his loyall Subjects the English have done and ever will doe to the worlds end And so God save the King and Parliament FINIS
