Christians prayed in old time for their Kings yet heathens wishing them vitam prolixam imperium securum domum tutam exercitus fortes senatum fidelem as Tertullian writes A long life a quiet Empire a safe Court strong Armies a faithfull Counsell yea with Dauid that God would clothe all his enemies with shame but vpon him his Crowne to flourish Let the vnited voices of his Maiesties populous Kingdomes send vp to Heauen their cordiall and continuall acclamations God saue the King let the eccho resound in Heauen as seruently as the noyse of the Romanes did in applause of Flaminius generally calling him Sauiour Sauiour the noyse whereof was so violent and vehement that as Plutarch writes it made the fowles of the ayre fall downe dead or as the people of Israel did to Salomon when he was created King in Gihon and anointed there by Zadock with an horne of oyle taken out of the Sanctuary the people piped with pipes and reioyced with great ioy so that the earth rang with the sound of it blowing their trumpets and saying God saue King Salomon So let all the people within his Highnes Dominions lift vp their hearts and hands blow their trumpets ring their bels frequent their Churches saying and praying God saue the King Corporally Spiritually Politically CHAP. II. AND surely we are fallen vpon the times wherein by some rebellion is counted a spice of deuotion Traytors encalendred for Saints or Martyrs vis proditoria nomine vocatur nou● Romana virtus In the Iesuites Schoole nothing is so rife as the theoricke and practicke of Princes Murther Mariana prescribes to Traytors rules and cautions for poysoning Kings and highly commends King-killers praeclare cum rebus humanis ageretur si multi It were a merry world if there were many of that kinde so Six●us Quintus makes a long oration to praise that Frier who killed Henry the third the French King stiling it rarum inanditum memorabile facinus Dolman Cymanea Rosseus Fewardentius Bellar. Becanus Suares and others hold the like traiterous assertions Subditos posse depriuare reges à Papa excommunicatos vita regno Subiects may depriue Kings of their liues and kingdomes thinking of Kings royall bloud as Maximinus said of Christians bloud Christianorum sanguinem dijs victimam esse omnium gratissimam the Christians bloud is the most acceptable sacrifice to God as Seneca falsly thought that there is no sacrifice more acceptable to God then a Tyrant offered in sacrifice and most wickedly Guignard called the murder of Henry the French King by poysoned kniues committed by two Iacobin Friers heroicumfactum donum spiritus sancti A most heroycall Act and the gift of the holy Ghost So that the vpstart Champions of the Church of Rome hauing contemned Gods precept Nolite tangere c. Touch not my annointed and both by pen and practise labouring to be the Deuils empericks to let out the bloud of Kings it is the duty of all good Subiects duely and daily to pray vnto God to reueale and reuenge all the mischiefes and machinations of the sonnes and seruants of the purple whore which is drunken with the bloud of Saints and with the bloud of the Martyrs of Christ Iesus Purpurati pontificij omnium matuum authores sunt c. The purple Romanists haue bin the prime instruments of most pernicious actions And therefore let all the people of great Britanie ioyne as their loyall obedience bindes them to their necessary seruice both in hearts and voyces to almighty God the protector of Kings to find out all his enemies and make them like a fiery ouen in the time of his anger to confound all their conspiracies making them like the grasse on the house tops which withereth before it come forth saying and praying God saue the King CHAP. III. THE causes and motiues to induce all good subiects to this Christian seruice and loyall duty to pray continually for the preseruation of the King be many and manifold I will but touch some of them and leaue the rest to Christian rememberance for Breuitas sermone tenexda The first is the Apostle Pauls precept ante omnia before all that Supplications Prayers and Intercessions and giuing of thankes bee made for Kings c and renders a powerfull motiue to perswade all consisting of three benefits arising from it 1. a quiet and peaceable life 2. in all godlinesse and honesty 3. this is good and acceptable in the sight of God The Kings preseruation is our preseruation his welfare is the weale of our Common-wealth reip foelicit as non potest esse absque Principis foelicitate saith Plinie A Country is vnhappy vnder an vnhappie King so that if people desire to liue a quiet and peaceable life in all godlinesse and honesty let them like dutifull members pray for the prosperity of the supreame head for if he fall vpon the rockes they are like to come to ruine Vt ratis in scopulos errat peritura latentes Nullus vbi celsa puppe magister adest As a shippe whose Pilot perisheth is driuen vpon the rocks and so is cast away euen so how can the shippe of State sayle with a prosperous winde whose regall Pilot suffers ship wracke Regall aduersity is the harbenger of popular calamity wherefore if Subiects desire to be happy themselues let them continually pray for the happinesse of their Soueraign whose prosperity is the Axis or Cardo the very foundation of their temporall felicity 2 Motiue is the great difficultie in the right managing of the regall office and therefore had need to be assisted with the frequent and feruent prayers of the people imploring diuine wisedome to direct the heart of their Soueraigne for it is Ars artium the Art of Arts rightly to rule and gouerne common-wealths this many-headed multitude so diuided in Faction and action scarce two quibus vna vox aut votum of one minde or mould Peace pleaseth Cato Warre Pompey the Souldier cries Arma virumque cano The Merchant da pacem Domine Brutus desires a Common-wealth Caesar a Monarchy Ciceroes counsell is seruiendum tempori but Lentulus thinkes that the voice of a flatterer in the popular sort as many heads as hearts Scinditur incertum Studia in contrariavulgus So that to reconcile and to reclaime to vnitie and vnanimity this Babell of men had need of Iethroes head Be wise O yee Kings and learned yee that are Iudges of the earth saith Dauid they had need of great wisedome who are rulers of such popular flocks and therefore Salomon shewed himselfe wise who in the entrance into his regall throne craued of God wisedome and knowledge to iudge the great people that I may say with the son of wisedome If your delight be then in Thrones and Scepters O Kings of the people honor wisedome that you may reigne for euer Dauids

complaint is verified vpon vs My people are destroyed for lacke of knowledge the seeds-men of the worde sent from the blessed sower who broke vp our stony hearts and made them flexible and did labour to turne many to righteousnesse they are taken from vs and now Impius haec tam culta novalia miles habebit Barbarus has segetes Not Masse but Mars-Priests in the Churches field Possesse the fruits which others labours tilld These and more pittifull mones would haue beene fresh and frequent in this land crying with Ieremy The ioy of our heart is gone our dance is turned to mourning the Crowne of our head is fallen woe vnto vs that wee haue sinned our necks are vnder persecution wee are weary and haue no rest Our King a Nursing Father to the Church and Common-wealth Our Noble men of Sion comparable to fine Gold Our reuerend Prelates and Pastors the salt of the earth and light of the land the chiefe Iudges and choice Gentry of the Kingdom who were as eyes to the blinde and feete to the lame All the pillars of Church and Common-wealth maintainers of the Law and Gospell had perished in this intended Massacre So that the shepheard being smitten the sheepe will be scattered yea sheepe not hauing a shepheard will fall into the hands of wolfes who will deuoure their flesh and their fleeces And looke still further and behold these powder-traitors men nourished with Tygers milke who enterprised not onely to procure a temporall politicall and spirituall ouerthrow of Church and Common-wealth but also so farre as in their power they could seeked to procure the eternall death of body and soule vnawares by force of fire to part vnprepared soules and blow vp with a fiery Dimittis bodies and soules before they could haue time to say feelingly Inmanus tuas Domine O Lord into thy hands we commend our soules heerein shewing themselues desirous to be bloudy murtherers to murder the body with death temporall and also to make away the soule with death eternall which second death worse then millions of corporall deaths Continet Myriades mortis Prima mors animam dolentempellit de corpore secunda mors animā nolentem tenet in corpore as Austen The first death driues the pained soule out of the body the second death keepes the vnwilling soule in the body for then men shall seeke death and shall not finde it for in life there is some ease in death an end but in the second death neyther ease nor end Mors sine morte finis sine fine So that to draw all to a conclusion which should haue beene the conclusion yea confusion of vs all I may supply my defects in the description of this immatchable treason with the Poets excuse Non mihi si centum linguae sint oraque centum Ferreavox omnes scelerum cōprendere formas Omnia poenarum peccurrere nomina possem No tongue can tell no pen descry This Map of mischiefe the Powder-Tragedy The Lord of Hosts who neither slumbers nor sleepes who in pitty and prouidence prouides for the safety of his Church and Children beheld our English Israel and Popish Amaleck the members of the Church militant and malignant the one secretly plotting to blow vp the other but the Lord against whom no wisdome nor vnderstanding nor counsell can preuaile became an impenetrable shield suffered not one of his seruants haires to be burnt with fire but besotted these Traytors to communicate their counsels though darkly to others by which meanes they were discouered And we are perswaded and confirmed of the all-sauing protection of our good God towards his deare Seruant and our dread Soueraigne with the rest of the religious assembly congregated for the glory of his name and good of his Church in that Honourable House of Parliament that if the Lord had suffred them to haue made a further progresse to the instant of that disastrous and dismall action that hee would haue disabled the party who with his vnhappy hand should haue kindled that fatall fire as he did the hand of infamous Ieroboam in the very act of stretching it against the Prophet it withered or like the hand of Valens the Emperor when hee tooke his pen to confirme the sentence of Basils banishment strucken of God shooke and shrunke not able to hold the pen So surely the Lord would haue benummed that accursed hand which sought to ouerthrow Christs Church among vs for it is as easie to pull Christ from Heauen as to put his Church out of the Earth Christ cannot be a bodilesse Head nor the Church an headlesse body and though outward meanes of deliuerance to vs may seeme defectiue yet stand comforted and couragious for the gates of hell shall not preuaile against the Church It is a lame and halting confidence which cannot goe to God without the stilts and crutches of externall meanes for the Lord knoweth to deliuer the godly and in the very point and article of time will be a present helpe in trouble God came to Adam with a promise in the time of despaire to Abraham with supply in the time of sacrifice to Isaacke with reliefe in the time of famine and danger to Ioseph with honour in the time of exile to Elias with comfort in the time of persecution to Gideon with helpe in the time of battle to Daniel with safety in the Lyons denne to Ionas with release in the Whales belly to Susanna with life condemned to death to the three Children with a protecting Angell in the fiery Furnace yea to this Kingdome of England with a most mercifull preseruation neere the time of the appointed Powder-destruction to make all our English Israel alwayes in all distresses and dangers say with Moses Feare not stand still behold the deliuerance of the Lord which he shewed vnto you this day Dies Ista Salutis erat candore notabilis ipso The Lord would not haue this Powder-proiect to haue power to burne one haire of his seruants head or any smell of fire come vpon them yet caused some of these vault-pyoners to be wounded and disfigured with powder In quo peccarunt in eodem plectuntur Wherewith they sinned by the same they were also punished So that all these extraordinary mercies of Almighty God summed vp together should haue more then a Magneticall attraction to draw all Christian hearts euer to praise his infinite goodnesse and continually inuite and induce all to a serious consideration and conseruation of this admirable deliuery from this intended miserable calamity agnizing God the sole and supreme cause in preuenting of it and therefore ascribing all the glory to him who hath preserued still his Church in tranquility our King in glory the State in safety the Realme in prosperity Iutuere rupem erige ratem The snares of death and destruction prepared
