of his Christ Above all the Nations this of England with her two sisters Scotland and Ireland is with peculiar favour seperated from the World Being an Island imbraced with armes and Seas of righteousnesse peace safety and the knowledge of God The bosome of the earth where the divine glory chuseth to treasure up his richest Jewels His private lodging whereinto he delights to retire himself and out of which he pleases first to arise and thence to proceed to visit the whole World Nothing heer but is spoken by God made by the Word of God and doth again speak God A fruitfull and beautifull Earth meeting with and married unto a pleasant and powerfull Heaven in a healthfull and temperate Spirit and Ayre doe bring forth abundance of excellent fruit Especially those rich Flocks of Sheep that cover the Earth shewes the Soyle to be the Lambs and to were his Livery and so to be his Store-house from whence he will cloath the world with garments of Salvation In the disposition of the People of England shine many sparkes and beames of divine majesty ingenuity and freedome gentlenesse and mildnes zeal and devotion gravity and wisdome stoutnes and courage noblenes and greatnes of spirit aptnes for generall and high undertakings which renders them feard honored and beloved abroad and fit instruments of good to the Vniverse As other Nations are furnisht with mines of Gold and silver England with rich minds full of true worth indeed a Race and seed of heavenly Lords obscured under earthly infirmities yet so as their luster doth discover it selfe and shine out But that which indeed exalted us to Heaven was this That this excellent People in a happy Country were by the Ministry of mighty Angels moulded into a government after the pattern of the highest and perfectest glory of God in Father Son and Spirit Or to make England a happy Canaan Father Son and Spirit agree together to dwell in it and to bestow themselves upon it in their severall fulnes and doe themselves vail'd and covered over with fleshly formes unite and govern us in righteousnesse and peace First the Father advances the King in his own likenesse and by living in him makes him to be Pater patriae the Father of his Country the Head and Supreme The Husband and Lord of the Kingdome In him as in God the Father is all the Majesty Honour Justice and Riches of the Kingdome 1. In unity bound up close in one Person all in its Center hence it comes and hither it returnes 2. In Head and Fountain the originall from whence honour and justice flowes 3. In Priority or prerogative in him as highest and Supreme 4. But more hid and deeply conceald not so outward and visible as in others Hence is the King the Anointed of God God eminently I said ye are Gods in nearest conjunction unto God The greatest representative of God His Vicegerent Next under God in immediate fellowship with God God and the King Secondly The Sonne appears in the People especially as they are form'd in one Representative the Parliament and by his fulnesse makes them the Body of the Head The Wife the Spouse And so gives them all the Majesty Honour justice and Riches of the Kingdome and that that is in the King to be in them 1. Divided and multiplied not bound up in center but drawn forth into circumference and come forth in many 2. In stream and flowing forth for the use and benefit of others 3. In second place in subordination to the first 4. Imbodied and drawn forth into open view more visible and manifest unto others Thus are they the Kings yoak-fellows a meet help have what ever he hath his Son and heire And being raised into a Parliament by the Kings Writ are then fit mediators tween the King and the People by whom the People offer up gifts to the King and the King gives favours pardons and priviledges to them Thirdly The Spirit the third Person he by the Law and by mutuall Covenants bindes these two together and is the marriage that joynes them or the house of love in which they both live in peace and happines with each other and disposes both into a just and equall distance yet a perfect agreement or give them both to subsist in proper and distinct Rights and both in union together that they both fully have what is due to them and both have what each other have the same and that equally without robbery without injury or wrong to each other The Law gives to the King his Prerogative his authority in unity in Fountain c. And diversifying or multiplying give the same in another way to the body and yet takes nothing from the King So gives it to the King as is most advantagious to the body and so to the body as is most advantagious to the head The body hath it best in the Kings having of it with that honour safety and union as shee cannot have it in her self And the head hath it best in the bodies having of it with that fruitfulnes and strength that he cannot have it out of them Yea in this Spirit and Law in this bond of perfection they both have it in each other and could not nor cannot have it long nor well if they have it not together The Royalty of a King as a fountain freely giving it self into the Authority of Parliament as a husband giving himself to his wife and the Parliament only being what shee receives from the King so they mutually nourish support uphold each other and being divided and seperated they presently wither away and dye They both have it and both give it the body gives it to the head and receives it from the head in severall waies and this is its life and perfection that it passes by vines and arteries from one to another and are knit together by nerves and sinewes so that what honour the King hath he gives to his People and what riches and substance the People had they gave it to the King the People honorable in the Prince and the prince mighty and strong in the People The body breaths sees tasts c. in the head the head workes walkes and digests in the body Thus the Trinity are truly The foundamentall Lawe constitution of the Kingdom which is the cause of ability strength and peace of the Kingdom the Pillars that kept it upright the health and soundne of it where by it was able to subsist in prosperity and florish in it self and to defend and maintain it self against enemies from abroad In this estate we for a while flourished and enjoyed a heaven upon earth or an earthly heaven a sweet figure or shadow of the Kingdome of glory and but a shadow yet such a shadow as was in union with the substance King and People being knit together by the Spirit and by the same spirit knit to God Christ Such a figure as had the original living in
Parliament appeares at first assisted by a lovely and sweet Angell as the tender Mother of all our liberties as the womb in whom our Civil rights lay as Jerusalem that is from above the Mother of us all having the face of Jesus a saviour from all our troubles speaking nothing but a generall and universall love and a care of all as a rich treasury full of all blessings that might make us happy But that Angell leaving her she quickly discovers her weaknesse and inability and sinks into confusion under her sins and Divine displeasure Your evils are against Christ against the King and against the People Chiefly against your Fundamentall Law Christ the Sonne of God who is in you and with you and you know him not yea deny him and in expresse words scorne his Spirit You some times profess for the Kingdome of Christ but do indeed put him to open shame burying the Wisdome Beauty Righteousnesse of Christ and holding forth visibly nothing but an abominable heap of folly disorder and unrighteousnesse you are indeed the seat of all the fullnesse of Christ the house of God where God would dwell and so a body of Heavenly wisdome religion justice goodnesse and everything that is Excellent But you have departed from this principle yea wholly kild it and walk after the imaginations of your owne hearts after the customes of men yea worse after the will and minde of others not following the stable rule The Lord you are become subject to People City Scots Army any And having lost the true life and spirit of a Parliament the presence and Majesty of God you are become a dead Idol standing in the power of darknesse in direct opposition to God This poor empty name this vanity do you with all your might maintain zealous for your Priviledges as if all happinesse lay in them and while you labour to uphold them you doe most destroy them selling your selves for relief in any danger to any that can but seeme to help you making your selves cheap and common mercenary and so the great betrayers of your own rights In your rebellions against the holy God you have trodden in the steps of your Father the King and in his may see your own iniquities But particularly You are guilty of hipocrisy and deceit in that great pretence of Reformation seeing such a spirit acting in the People to keep them sure to you and by that to gaine advantage against your adversaries you assume this title The Cause of God and Reformation without either love to it or judgement to know how to go about it T is known you are men your selves unreformed men of corupt and loose lives and that whereupon yon insist most you are most guilty of Arbitrary power every one being in dispose of his estate a Tirant and wracking Tennants according to his own will which is the generall sin of the Nation every one labouring to oppresse others to advance himselfe And since you came together walking in a continuall course of illegall and arbitrary power You are grosly ignorant of the Heavenly Kingdome The true Patterne out of which the Kingdome was taken and form'd and into which it must bee Reformd As you want judgement so want you power having trampled under your feet the power and Spirit of Christ your Ordinances are all spiritlesse weake and despicable But having layd this Egge of Reformation you make this use of it When you want an Army to help you you carry it to Scotland to bee hatched there and thence it brings forth an imperfect earthy crawling Cockatrice Presbytery which never yet did any good but vex the Nation and help your friends to get into fat livings And because you want the help of active men heer of different judgements they sit upon the Egge and bring forth liberty of conscience and with it a monstrous heap of mis-shapen errors and opinions which you cannot suppresse by conviction nor dare restrain by power The Church t is true was extreamly corrupted full of tyranny darknesse worldly pride and great disorder But you have brought nothing to it but utter ruine and defacement Not having that Spirit of judgement and burning to seperate twixt the precious and the vile in Episcopacy c. you have in a blinde conformity with Scotland and to supply your own needs of their lands untterly demolisht all Your errors against the King are not following your foundamentall constitution He a Husband you his body he a Father you a Son Hee being plunged in his government and in necessity he cals you together and seeks your help which was a fair opportunity for you by fair carriage and dutifulnesse to regain his restranged heart but you grow upon his necessities and in stead of insinuating into him by love you at first rigidly and harshly capitulate for priority and priviledge and fell into a violent and illegall forcing the sword the Militia out of his hands a strange and un-naturall contest having no other bottom but jealousy and feare of suffering for the Wife or Sonne to disarme the Husband or Father You have unkindly unjustly requited his error who would have Reigned without you made you ciphers and kept the substance of Government from you You deal so with him would take all power from him and leave him to be a state ceremony a great nothing a gaudy thing set out with Titles for pomp and fashion sake to be looked upon a servant having power to doe neither good nor hurt And that which every man as a man contends for to be Arbitrary or to have the exercise of his will without which we are the greatest slaves in the World that is wholly denied him in Government Your endeavours is to imprison the Throne to infeeble your Lord and disable him from doing the Kingdome any good such an empty weak thing would be a heavy curse to the Nation a dishonour and shame to you and that which you would quickly be weary of T is most true you have Royalty in you in the second place being bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh the expresse image of his person but to set up this above the head or by this to thrust out the other is falshood and disloyalty to your head That any thing in you should live in distinction from or opposition to your head and Father t is to commit Adultry with your selves or shadow of your Lord to fashion up a notionall King amongst your selves When he was departed from you you should even to death have followed him and not rejoyced in his absence and shut the door upon him all jollity mirth and confidence in his going was un-naturall Then your civill life and glory went and it had been your way to have lost your selves with him or to have sat as widow till you had recovered him When there was in him a minde of returning as at Notingham you should then have opened your hosomes to him but having possession of all in
contempt cast upon KING or Parliament upon one side or other is flung at Christ and he that opprosseth poor England in her miseries or addes one dram of sorrowes more reproacheth his maker Yea If thou doest mock poor King Charles poor Parliament poor Cavaliers or poor Round-heads thou reproachest God in all these if thou doest goe one foot farther It is to make long furrows upon the back of Christ If men or devils should bee obdurate our God is now tender will not still go on to smite his own flesh and blood As God died so are we dead with him England is dead and all her glory greatnesse and justice is slain We departing from God who is our life cannot live and 't is well wee can't live in Gods absence If we could have saved this life we had lost it and losing it we save it For if we had kept it we had kept it against God and now it 's dead it dyes into God It returnes to him from whence it came dying with Christ being offered up by this Priest-hood it goes with Christ dead with him and he saies I go to my Father so that we are fallen indeed into God and there is nothing now but God This is our peace by this the wall of partition 'twixt God and us is broken down and of twain made one new man destroying the enmity that honour power dominion that stood at enmity against God is abolisht slaine in the slaying the earthly creature That which could not endure GOD is brought downe and wee are hereby brought into God By death is destroyed him that had the power of death the Devill his power and interest in the Nation is utterly destroyed his kingdome of darknesse and wrath is broken downe he is cast out and shall no longer destroy the Earth nor deceive the Nation into these mad fightings one against another it is now taken from him that ruled with cruelty envy wrath folly and given to Christ who will Reign in Peace and Righteousnesse in Mercy and Goodnesse And as there is a Union wrought by this death betwixt God and the Kingdome so betwixt KING and Parliament betwen all parties and of two or many we by death are made one man as truly united as head and body as a man to himself And all Ordinances Covenants c. are abolisht Prerogative Kinglinesse is slain lyes in the dust no KING a Prisoner a Captive no Parliament a Rout a Scuffle a confused heap What can you demand of the King He hath nothing to give you mock your selves and him Why are you jealous of him He can't do good or hurt Why do you labour to save your selves from his power or revenge fear a dead power Do you think he shal returne from the grave to vex you Alas it is not he but Devils that trouble you you need not fortify your Parliament with a Militia with Acts against a dead power Or Why should the King contend for a dead Crowne or the People raise Authority from the dust How foolish and vaine are the attempts of his party Being dead on both sides in the grave Heer the wicked cease from troubling The weary Be at rest The prisoners rest together they hear not the voyce of the oppressor The small and great are heer the servant is free from his Master How is it that you vex one another It 's a hel sure and you are Devils one to another Is not the grave enough to swallow up enmity Why should the Parliament insist upon Covenants Promises Ingagements Or the King upon his Honour Prerogative Friends The Law hath power over a man so long as he lived no longer There is no bands now upon you neither party can require any thing of you You have stood it out for your principles for your parties Cavaliers for KING Rounds-heads for Parliament till you and they are all lost together All your engagements for and against each other are taken away Law is slain right property righteousnesse and truth hath forsaken the Earth it is in neither side you may lye stil and be at peace for all is dead for which you contend There doth nothing live but shame sorrow folly and madnesse and that is dead too in your death The King is dead his Majesty is slain crucified and lies in the bowels of the earth that is in his Parliament and People he is descended into us dyed into the Kingdome And hence it is that Parliament men Committee men Army City and Citizens are all become petty Kings Kinglinesse being sow'd in the earth And so though we have lost our King yet we have him in us The King is dead and our life of Majesty our Kingdome died with him we cease to be a Kingdome when our head ceased to rule and are become a herd of wilde Beasts He took us all into himself and so made a rich Sacrifice of al the glory of the Kingdome in one He dyes for us they are our iniquities that denies us the blessing of government we have the benefit of his suffering it is for us By this he comes down into the meanest subject into the worst condition of a subject bonds hee empties himself into us and fills us with Royalty and gives the lowest to have fellowship with the highest by his descending from the Throne into the Prison and his ascending from the Prison to the Throne there is an open way and passage from misery to greatnesse by this the poorest creature in England shal have accesse to the Throne for mercy and justice And the KING shal acknowledge this is my fellow subject my fellow prisoner I am and was as low as meane as he This shall fill punishments with grace and make paines and judgements acceptable from a Prince that is a Brother a fellow-sufferer This is that which onely can fit a KING for Reigning to goe by the Crosse to suffer first by which trialls and temptations he is for ever able to pitty such as are tempted and doe suffer The Parliament is dead also cannot will not out-live the KING puts off her glory with the Kings and sits downe in the dust dyes into the King as the King into the Parliament goes down into his grave follows him and there lyes wrapt up in him the life union and Majesty of the Parliament and as the King arises out of the Parliament so the Parliament out of and with the King The Parliament dyes for the People so constantly adheres to the Peoples rights that She perisheth in the obtaining of them and because She cannot by life She doth and wil by death free us The Cause that She undertook though sensibly be lost yet by her shamfull suffering is confirmed and a Testimony of blood given to a work of Reformation which is more effectual then twenty Bills And so our Parliament doth us most right not being able to help us to lye downe and bear our curse her self She dyes into the Army gives up
it in infirmity and weaknesse T was the true light shining in darknesse but the darknesse comprehended it not We knew not our own filicity God was nigh to us the Kingdome of God in all his glory was in the mid'st of us and we were not aware of it The Lord did Reign amongst the Children of men and they knew it not while he was present they set him of a distance and would not receive their own life but in enmity did cover the face of God the majesty and Kingdome of God and gloried in their poor shadow T was a beautifull but earthly vessel raised up for a time a temporary greatnes a corruptible Crowne that we have seen standing and flourishing in prosperity but its period of happinesse is come and you shall now see it in its declining diseased corrupt estate end falling Chap. II. Shewing the Kingdome of England in its corrupt and declining estate YOu have seen the fair inside of England now you shall see the filthy outside of it The holy God took it into conjunction and felowship now casts it off into rejection and reprobation In the first his glory shin'd in this its abominable wickednesse and wofull ruine appear This Heavenly glory being in love with the earthly shadow of it self desires to approach nearer unto it and to dwell with it in a more intire and perfect union and to swallow it up into it self that it might no longer subsist out of him but be found in him But as God approaches this earth fled from his brightnes being a fraid to be swallowed into its own Life and being weake and jealous of the great love of God chose rather to continue its old form and its earthly happinesse The goodlines and majesty of God was cloathed and hid in this worldly Kingdome as a treasure in an earthen vessel T was his pleasure to break the vessel to rend and tear the old garment that he might come forth and cloath that with his glory that cloathed him with its basenes But the Pot-sherd did strive with his Maker and would not yeeld or offer up it self to God but doated upon it selfe and its own beauty Therefore God threw it off into a dark and inordinate idolizing it self to a worldly and satanicall seperation from God and love of it self making it self the substance and God the shadow and so grew to an earnest minding of its present happines and threw off God into a strangenesse and distance not to be conversed with in this world but referd him to another making those two which God hath made one Hence grew in the whole Nation King and People in all parts an eagar love of worldly things and as God threatens to take it down that he might set up the heavenly so much the more earnestly did they cleave to it and fall further and further from God and more and more laboured to load themselves with thick clay and so the whole Kingdome in opposition to the divine will are in ambition and covetuousnesse set to advance their worldly state heer is the fatall breach betwixt God and man twixt Heaven and England This breach is made by the Devil the wicked one the God of this World by which the Kingdome is become Satans and divided from God And being thus cut off from its head and life God it cannot but fall into divisions The Spirit of God fayling the band of union it must quickly be in distraction There was a destroying in the whole but it first appeared twixt head and body Thus. All parts finding their foundation fayling and some disease and disturbance in the body each begin to stickle for it self and its own interest as distinct from the other The King having a misgiving that his greatnes did not increase but rather sinck thirsts after more absolutenesse thinks it a debasing to his Royalty to have any in conduction with him as good be no King as to be in dependance upon others and so growes weary of the Parliament The People finding their liberty and priviledge sinking too begin to be jealous of their Prince and accounting him a Tyrant afraid they were going into slavery finding an obstruction in the body that favour did not flow so freely from the head as it use to doe disdaining to be kept at a distance from Government and the affaires of States growing impatient of the Princes waies censure his actions and to have a longing itch after government Drawing thus severall waies there growes of head and members two factions The Count and Royall and episcopall party and the Country People and puritan party These two grow from jealousies and discontents to malignity one against another to watch for advantages one against the other and to seek the advancing themselves and the ruining of each other labouring all that the could to rob each other and to pull and snatch from each other to strengthen themselves and so growing to a deadly enmity and when the body meet in a Parliament and so head that party they are strongly divided and the whole Kingdome being shaken and broken fall to peeces according to the working of their severall and various principles To the King goes men of honour as the Nobility and Gentry much whose honour is predominate over their reason and Religion The Episcopall patty being Monarchicall growing out of the root of the King and paternall much the Fathers of the Church men of implissit Faith whose conscience is much regulated by their superiours men that are high and great admirers of Kinglinesse taken much with that Ordinance of a King And a vast number of loose men men of no Religion but the King To the Parliament men who of a lower state and exercising their own reasons in Religion zealous and wel-affected People men of industry and labour that love freedome and to be somthing themselves Men whose consciences are their owne and so strict in them Cities Corporations Bodies and men that highly honour the Parliament men zealous for generall and common Good And by the accesse of these Parties to each other they are strengthened in their opposition of each other and fitted for their mutuall ruine Chap. III. Shewing the Kings Errors The Kingdome being divided into two parties the King first carries away The Golden ball of Government who though taken off and seperated from his true Basis The King of Kings yet is assisted by a mighty Angell by whose help he rules awhile alone and with more good and lesse evill then those that succeed In which hee appeares in High and masculine vertue as a Father mighty severe and terrible The great and undoubted Image of God living in a supremacy beyond and above all questons honoured with fear and devotion But alas being alone he soon declines his good Angel leaves him and so not able long to manage the Scepter But oppressed with his owne guilt and the curse of GOD quickly is forced to resigne it to others It hath been the Kings
plea That he is accountable for his actions to none but God and therefore hath frequently in his Declarations appealed from man to GOD. And Divine justice hath reserved your cause to Himself and kept your Parliament a long while from accusing you of any thing only charging your instruments And when they attempted to bring forth any thing against you as they did in their Declaration upon their Votes to make no more addresses to you They were manifestly weak and mistaken and not being to prove any thing they were forced presently to retract what they had done and shew they produced nothing but their own shame You stand therefore before the Throne of God and are found guilty of transgressing against that foundamental Law from which thou holdest thy Crown The majestie of God the Father and hast broke Covenant first with God secondly with thy People First Thou haft slain and killed thy Father The Lord of glory this is thy Parricide That the great King lies to this day buried in thee as in his Sepulcher That in all thy Reigne thou hast not suffered the Majesty of God to break forth but hast smothered and denied his light to shine through thee amongst men Thou hast owned the title and name of the Lords Anointed CHARLES by the Grace of God but hast not owned the substance of that Anointing and that Grace Hadst thou known and owned that fountain of Divine light and wisdome which lives in thy sacred Head and Breast Thou wouldest have understood the meaning of that Principle The King cannot Erre and so would'st alwayes walke by a certain and never-failing rule But thou forsaking yea professing against that Spirit hast followed the false and crooked rule of thy owne carnall reason and customes and examples of other Princes and the dark counsell of poor petty Politicians Hadst thou known that Immortal fountain of Majesty that is in thee thou wouldest have known the meaning of that position The King cannot dye and would never through fear and jealousy fled from thy People and Parliament because of Tumults Was not that a turning away that Royall face of God that is able to have allayed and still'd the raging of those waves Had you known that Divine power that is in you you would have met such tumults as Christ met those that came to apprehend him and said as he did I am he whom seeke yee And then you had had the same effect They would have fallen before you Or if you had suffered you had layd down your Crown in dishonour it would have been raised in honour as his But to fly to a place of strength Digbies counsell who taught Majesty to Digge to earth it selfe into by and indirect paths of darknesse Ther 's no place of strength equall to your owne Royall heart It was to teach the Sun to hide it selfe in the earth for fear of clouds or to depart from his sphere to avoyd mists Or hadst thou lived in the Anointing that is in thee thou hadst not needed to have feared or denied the high demands of thy subjects seeking thy prerogatives from thee or the diminishing thy greatnes by it but mightest have freely powred forth to much honour as would have burst them if they had been corrupt and wicked in their designe or it would have assured thee that there is such a Sun of Majesty in thee as could not be lesse by shining upon them and that Majesty is not in titles names customes the power of a Militia but naturally inherent in thee fixt and sure as God and so inseperable from thee It was meanesse and poornesse of spirit that did not give more fully then they could ask and so have over-come them or if thou hadst made them Kings thou hadst been as truely thy coppy is KING of KINGS so that indeed thy Error hath been Thou hast not been Majesticall enough or lived in the height and absolutnesse of God Secondly When thou hadest broken the bond of union twixt the Eternall and thy Kingdome by which thy Kingdome was become a Kingdome of darknesse a Worldly one and so ruled by the god of this World the Devill Thou hast in opposition to the judge of all men contended to the uttermost to uphold and maintain that vaine Idoll and false power when the holy one hath sent out Watchers to destroy it and hast Pertenaciously refused to give it up to bee slain by Gods justice The more God shewed himselfe against it to breake it the more didst thou persist in striving for it And not committing it to him whose it first was and from whom thou didst receive it hast gon into base carnall and filthy waies to preserve it This is the reason that a long time thou hast run a course of weak dark and black waies being lead about by Satan at his pleasure It was this that sent thee in secret waies to beg aide and assistance of Forraign Princes and not of Princes only but by thy agents hast unworthily sought to private persons for reilefe the almes houses called religious houses Thou hast been dealing in a close and under-ground way with the Bloudy Irish and that party Hast wandered from thy steadinesse to all interests and parties in Scotland and England and so been forced to most unstable and unequall shifts denying thy actions false saying and swaring to various formes and shapes to save thy Worldly Greatnesse from Divine justice Thou in pursuance of it hast pawned thy word engaged thy estate thy Crown jewells undone thy friends and al these things eaten up with contending against a curse doomd by God not knowing yet that he that saveth his Crown shall lose it and hee that loseth it now shall save it As thou hast sinned against the holy God so against thy People and hast fail'd in thy Government towards them not answering your heavenly pattern and foundamentall Law First Thou hast not lived with thy wife thy body the People in the love of a Head Thou shouldst have loved her as Christ loved his Church and gave himselfe for it to sanctify it c. T is true thy spouse was unclean proud high in demands striving with thee the true way to have washt her was to have given thy self freely for her Thy Majestie envied while detain'd from her If it had been shed-abroad amonst them would have heald their distempers and pierced and overcome their hearts Thou hast slighted and neglected thy body not honoured her and hast with-held thy selfe and thy favour from thy People in Generall and hast narrowed thy selfe into a few friends and hast heaped all thy favours upon them Thou hast broken the Marriage knot and hast accepted others into thy wives bed to be sharers in thy Government Thou hast refused thy Parliament and hast admitted into thy bosome and heart of Government thy Wife a Woman a Stranger thy minions favourites and friends That 's thy owne and her Adultery Heerin thou hast prostituted thy Royalty to every flatterer and
