Ramsay thrust Gowrie through the heart he strooke him he strooke him dead and he strooke him dead at a blow and I am somewhat afraide he strooke his soule downe dead to hell For he died in a moment without crying either to the King or GOD for mercy the diuision of a Kingdome of his own kingdome and that against so great an Anointed of the Lord as our Soueraigne is whose Seed was to gouerne in so many opulent Kingdomes after him I see the rume of Ireland the confusion of Scotland the diuision of England the suppression of all Protestant Religion in Germany and what not all in this one more then Nationall sinne of Gowries Conspiracy therfore may I not iustly feare he strooke his soule downe dead to hell diuisions are too-too often in euery State and that vpon small occasions many times what sayes Traytor Gowrie for himselfe 'T was to reuenge his father to reuenge your father what vpon the man that neuer wrong'd your father vpon the King himselfe your father was a tainted man the King was but in his yong minoritie a meerely gentle passiue in those affaire They were the Protectors and the hand of Iustice cut your father off 't was not the King and if he were iustly executed why should you not endure it if vniustly yet endure it for then Heauen would reuenge him without any such sinfull helpe of yours your Tutor Rollocke Mr Alexander and a greater then Rollocke what saith hee Tell me sayes Chrysostome when Cain put Abell vniustly death which of those two was the dead man dic quaeso uter illorum erat mortuus whether Abell Ad Rom. cap. 4. serm 8. whose bloud did after liue to triurnph in a victorious crye or Cain whose bloud did after liue in seruile feare of euery aspine leafe bloud-guilty Cains countenance waxt pale and speechlesse and dead while aliue but innocent Abels bloud was fresh and liuely triumphant in a glorious cry witnesse the Law it is the crying child that doth inioy the state of life and therefore Cains bloud was dead but Abels was aliue because it cryed vnto the Lord so that if your father were an Abell vniustly put to death then was your father aliue and being aliue his bloud should haue commenced the suite his bloud haue sought reuenge not you but being iustly executed much lesse T is reprobat-like to iniure those that iniure you but pure damnation to iniure those that neuer iniur'd you Is any man culpable witnesses are produced be it the apparence of his own actions or other mens suffrages to condemne him howeuer if he suffer let him blame the witnes not the Common-wealth if he seeke reuenge by the diuision of a kingdome for it he iniures those that neuer iniured him and the height of damnation shall bee his due No no there was somewhat more then the priuate reuenge of his father that vrged the Traitour to it he was brought vp in Italy the very place where the most King-killing doctrine is taught to be the true meaning of the Gospell I should misreport the probability of all story if I should arraigne Earle Gowry for a Praecisian before yee rather then a Papist in this fact-for he was a notorious Magician the Characters found about his searcht in the presence of the King a very vsuall thing with Papists but where did yee euer know a Praecisian that was so magically giuen brought vp in Italy common among Papists but where euer Praecisian that was Italianly giuen his plausible popularity argues him Papist or carnall Protestant at least but where euer sowre-faced Praecisian that was so popularly giuen his daylie complices Logan and Bour men of no Religion at all by Sprotts owne * Sprott at his Arraigment exhorted all to take heed how they kept company with such as made no profession of Religion acknowledging before thē all that his haunting so much with the Lo Logan a man without Religion and subiect to many other vices as also his continuall being in company with the Lo Bour who was as irreligious as the other and without feare of God had ensnared him thereunto and therefore he desired them all againe to beware of euill company especially those that were voide of Religion they are his owne very words publisht by authority Confession his diuine correspondencie with Iesuits also who did euer know Praecisian so irreligiously so Iesuitically giuen peradventure some mis-praecisians did adhere too much vnto the fairenesse of his tongue because they dis-affected the Kings Episcopall gouernment of the Church peradventure some allyed by blood or seruice or other affection to the man can not so well digest the mention of that treason vnto this day peradventure the ignorance of others do to this houre mistake his intendments as if they were really belonging to their own side but mistakes be they neuer so many cannot satisfie the arguments alleadged nor will the nature of the cause euer beare it to be defined vpon him as a Praecisians fact The history is knowne and I haue heard this pulpit speake so much about 14 yeares agoe that his out-landish education was the chiefest cause of all For there ye haue the height of all pride there ye haue profest schooles and methods of reuenge there factions are taught by rules and treasons by a kinde of Law I would to God I had but freedome to speake but what euer the cause was the sinne is a crying killing deadly damning sinne Is this your Catholicke trayning vp of children beyond the seas to prepare them for after-treasons and diuisions in a State Is this your hypocriticall wearing of CHRISTS Crosse about your neckes that so yee may more cunningly crucifie others is this the recompence ye returne him for all the merits of his passion How often did he endure the buffetting fist the bloudy speare and many a tormenting diuision more why but that we might liue and flourish in the fulnesse the fatnesse of our peace Peace hee brought downe from Heauen with him Peace he recommended being about to die But Logan will none of his peace he sayes he will hazard life lands and honour nay Hell it selfe shall not affright him but he will be revenged vpon the King they are his own words Not Hell it selfe affright him yes the grisly ghastly lookes of one tormenting fire-flaming diuell would make his traytorous bones tremble into so many seuerall anguishes as an Angell-Oratour were neuer able to expresse Irons fires chaines prisons gibbets wheeles tortures yellings howlings crucifyings and euery moment they suffer the multiplication of a thousand seuerall deaths and that which is the horrour of all those sauage spiries are so furious about them it seemes GOD doth not restraine their malice in that world to come but they may torment a man beyond all infinitenesse if they will For doe yee not see the wheele vpon them and the worme that neuer dyes gnawing their conscience about the heart doe yee not
