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

for if a Kingdome be MISRELIGIOVSLY diuided against it selfe that Kingdome of all others can neuer long stand Will you haue higher then these the Poëts moralize Saturne for chastizing his father Coelum castravit patrem and Iupiter for deposing Saturne and the naturall causes the Stoicks say for deposing Iupiter The substance is Caracalla practised against Severus and Absalom against David and Solomon the sonne against the father or one Princely brother against another This is the highest diuision and the remedy as before to beseech euery soueraigne father hee would not streighten his sonnes too much in loosing them the flower of their age rather resigne some portion of his Kingdome honors or offices before death whereon to exercise the power of his regall skill as Dauid did the whole to Solomon 1 Chron. 23.1 and if he haue moe sonnes then lawfull wiues or kingdomes to possesse then to compose the matter prudently before lest otherwise the kingdome suffer a diuision by it as 't did in Absaloms time one halfe cleauing to the father the other accomplicing with the sonne wherein Absalom was chiefe offendour yet Dauid not altogether without sinne on th' other part those royall branches should consider the thornes that be annext vnto the Crowne O did a Prince apparent know what slauish deadly troubles what perils of poisons what treasons are belonging thereunto what bloudie iudgments what hell it selfe especially if it bee not very rightly his then would hee soone throw downe himselfe his Crowne all to adore such a peece of earth with a most religious kisse as would but vnburthen him of so great a paine as 't was most elegantly aduertis'd by our fourth King Harry to his sonne But heerein aboue all other yee may most iustly say our Kingdome is agreeable to the Text there needes no present rebuke for such ambitious diuision onely a gentle admonition is good against time to come If a kingdome be so CAPITALLY divided against it selfe that kingdome can neuer stand What more Sometimes the diuision ariseth meerely from the harshnesse of a King as when Alexander past ouer himselfe and all his fauours by deed-of-gift into the Persian habite so reprobating the very hopes of all his natiue Macedons at one acte or as when Rehoboam with one proud tyrannicall answer turn'd ten great Tribes into so many traytors at a breath certainely the remedy is for Kings to forbeare such needlesse provocations but Subiects them to beare what if once in seauen generations come Rehoboams course to weare the Crowne yet 't is no warrant for Subiects to play the Traytours because their Soueraigne playes the folly What if once in seauen generations what 's that to vs yet 't is not so nor likely to bee so in our time therefore there needes no reproofe heere neither but howeuer a gentle remembrance is good against time to come If a Kingdome be TYRANNICALLY diuided against it selfe that Kingdome can neuer stand These are provocations within there are instigations without as the Syracusan Oratour taught the Camarins touching their neighbour Athenians that they should beware them because they did wholly apply themselues to worke dissociations and diuisions in other mens Kingdomes ut alios ab alijs dissociarent so I am afraid doe some neighbour-Nations vpon vs as well as others I would to God 't were otherwise and that heerein also we were equall to the Text but there are strong presumptions to the contrary Pompeius Trogus an ancient Historian sayes there is a Kingdome neere vs of an vnquiet minde their weapons dearer then their bloud vnto thē women administer tillage to what they haue already but they seeke abroad for more of an vnquiet minde and seek abroad for more Heere 's presumption enough can there bee two greater incendiaries then Polupragmacy and auarice vnquietnesse of minde and covetousnesse of goods any one of them if it be well followed doctis dolis haue a learned dissimulador for an Agent 't is enough to diuide all the Kingdomes in the World it is what Kingdome is there wherein you shall not finde a Polupragmatist one or other an Antony that will make the warre vpon Octavius be it neuer so vniust alas this Inquietudo naturae 't is but his nature he cannot bee quiet vnlesse he doe diuide and when two such meet together 't is like the meeting of two windes and what doe they make but a whirle-winde and what does the whirle-winde sayes the Philosopher but gather a company of leaues and feathers together and what 's that company but one part of the diuision What speake I of vnquietnes by nature there is an vnsatiable ambition of domineering ouer all What meane those vulgar reports that they can diuide the Commons and the King and so by a tollerable kinde of treason blow vp a Parliament without gun-powder when euer they please What mean those complaints from beyond the Seas that their kingdomes haue bin diuided from them yet all this I know would seeme fabulous to some did not their more then too much audaciousnesse so lately refresh the verity of it whenas in the face of the whole Realme they attempted a diuision between the Kinglie Father and the Princely Sonne what attempt a diuision betweene the Trinity T is only that is greater then this now woe vpon such diuels incarnate such forges such fire-brands such bellowes such very windes of Hell neuer cease coueting of other mens Valtolines O say the Inhabitants if they were once altogether in that Valtoline where they might couet a droppe of English water to coole their tongues then they would surcease still making divisions by their mineralls amongst vs If they were once in that diuision of places among the sulphures and the mineralls from whence there is no redemption where the fire diuides betweene the ioynts the marrow there they should haue diuisiō enough their fill Good ye vnerring Iewry remember these when yee come to fit vpon the twelue Tribes what compound sinners ambitious vniust intemperate vnnameable transgressours censure them deepe enough but can the malignant aspect of Planets blazing starres do nothing i' th' mean time Thou that rulest from the supreamest or be to the center of the earth shall such a kingdome stand as seekes the ruinous diuision of all other Christian kingdomes in the world and that at such a time as they stand in greatest need to combine al against the cōmon aduersary of Christ They would cut all thy seruāts throats they would burne all the professours of thy trueth they would tosse they would teare thy dearest childrens tender limbes on cold hearted iron speares they would crucifie them beyond eternity if they could All these things hast thou seene But when did euer our agents seek to make a diuision in their state or their owne best authors legitimate their making of it in ours Stratagems in time of warre sollicitations to rebell then peraduenture lawfull in some case but when in peace in time of league wast euer heard
