hath sought to compound these bloudy home-quarrels but the King of Great Brittain She most humbly desires the rest of the Princes that they would Commiserate her most afflicted estate her Cities taken her houses spoiled her children murthered her Matrons and Virgins defloured her waies full of Thieves her Seas of Pyrates all the helps of life taken from her in many parts her flocks and herds scattered her Tillage ceased her Trade decayed the Lawes silent Learning fallen good manners ruined neither fear of God left nor care of men that all things seem to tend to the first Chaos c. And therefore she doth beseech the Princes to whose trust God hath committed not to whose power he hath permitted his two Wards two Twins the Common Wealth and the Church as to Guardians that they will look better to their charge And first not suffer the Common Wealth of Christendom by their armes at the Popes secret instigation to be destroyed and to this end she first useth the example of good Heathen Emperours to perswade them as Augustus Vespasian Titus Nerva Trajan Antoninus Marcus Aurelius Alexander Severus Probus that they will settle peace at home and by joynt Forces make War abroad upon the Common enemy of their Kingdomes and so make the Common-Wealth to Honour them being made by them rich in wealth strong in power famous in glory honest in manners the felicity of every earthly Common-Wealth Now for the other Ward or Twin the Church the Heavenly Common-Wealth because she hath before professed that as she had been long a Pagan so now by the Grace of God hath long been a Christian and did take this to be her greatest honour to be the harbour of the Christian Church she stirres them up to be more careful by the example of the best Christian Emperours Constantine Jovinian Gratian Theodosius Arcadius Honorius Charlemaign and his Sons Lotharius and Lodovicus to defend her from heresies within and from violence without And now she begins to tell them That as one walking with others in the Sun not thinking on it must needs be Sun-burned so she walking with her reformed children in this new-risen Sun of the Gospel of Christ did feel her self coloured as it were with the Spirit of Christ by observing the differences between the two Churches with great indifferencie Here because she hath before challenged the Pope and the Jesuites of cruelty and perswading first that as men they should spare humane bloud Secondly as Europeans they should spare European blood Thirdly as Christians they should spare Christian blood She is first thus answered by the Pope speaking for himself and his Jesuites That they are not the authors of shedding Christian blood but haeretical blood And that her reformed sonnes as she terms them are not Christians because they be no Catholiques And therefore Hereticks to be taken away by death according to the sentence of St. Paul Haereticum hominem post unam aut alteram admonitionem devita Hoc est de vita tolle as Cardinal Allen doth expound it and according to the Decree of the Councel of Lateran And where I pray you was this your Reformed Church before Luther And as for my Jesuites you call them bloudy even as you call your Physitians bloodie who for driving away a Pestilential Feaver do take more corrupt and putrified blood from the party then they would And thereupon he doth twitt Europe as an old doting Sibylla in her youth being the Concubine of one Taurus whom she feigned to be Jupiter to cover her fault with the greatnesse of her lover who did also give her the name of this divided World that by the honour of her title she might excuse the shame of her fact And bytes the fond Oratour that put this person upon her a whelp of Luthers that makes this Minion to accuse him before the Princes of Homicide or an insensible piece of Earth to plead his Cause To which Europe answereth First for her self Then for the Church This Summe I thought good to present to your Majestie if it please your judgment I shall bring the whole work to your Majestie when I am recovered And thus craving pardon of your Majestie for troubling your greater thoughts though this tend to the good of Christendome which you intend I rest Your Majesties Most humble Chaplain Leonel Sharp Dr. Sharp to the Duke of Buckingham May it please your Grace IT is not my purpose to advise but to attend what others shall determine of the Match of the Palatinate but if that be broken off and this not restored according to promise every one may conceive that Peace must give place to War abroad but with whom and where and how it is to be made it is for an higher Councel then for any private man to resolve Peace were best if it had Nihil infidiarum as Tully saith but it is to be feared that the malice of the Catholique League doth and will hinder the work of the Kings most Noble and Christian heart and then it will be a War wrapt in the name of Peace A just War is the exercise of Faith as Peter Martyr well collects out of those Wars which those Worthie Kings and Princes Heb. 11. fought for their God and his Israel so war is just which is made for the maintenance of Gods true religion and for the safety of the Common Wealth either for the keeping of that we have or recovering of that we have lost Every one therefore doth rejoyce to see the King and his Subjects so joyned in love together and in the purpose of this defence every one I mean that is a true Christian and good subject and do wish that two things presently were added care at home to Coupe up all false-hearted Subjects that are known and provision to meet with the secret and open practises of such forraign Enemies as are like to abet them The good policies of the former reign in such times is the best president for this at this time The heads were then committed liberali Custodiae divided from their inferiour parts the Papists disarmed their clawes pared that they might not hurt us the lawes executed upon the Jesuites and Priests fire-brands of sedition and rebellion withal Or if not blood drawn of them yet close imprisonment or banishment enjoyned them Large subsidies granted to prepare the Navie and pay the armies And a great while no war proclaimed but brave Adventurers sent forth as to Portugal the Groine to the West-Indies c. And before Letters of reprisal granted to the Marchants to make up their losses a Rowland for an Oliver because they had granted Letters of Mart against us By this meanes Carricks were brought in the treasure of their West-Indian mines laid for at their return so to make war upon them with their own mony till they had made the enemie bankerout Ausb●ug and to break with their banquers of Auspurg and Genua that he was not able to pay his
