vigorously in our name which will if brought to passe redound to the eternall glory of our good God the welfare of the oppressed English subject and your own immortall honor Amen Finally reserving my choisest piece of advice to the last it cannot be denyed that you have under your hands at this time the richest and best piece of Stuffe for the quantitie that the Globe of the Earth can afford And that you spoyle it not or cut it to waste be carefull of two things first that you neither flash nor teare it by Sowrd or Gun that is not by force or violence secondly that you cut no more out then you have skill and time to make up againe And you the Generall or chiefe Commander know and consider that neither the ayre nor water are subject to more changes then the people and therefore be as Moses meeke and valiant magnanimous and magnificent yet he never could so demeane himselfe but that the people would murmur longing to remove him and to returne to their old byas nay consider our Chieftaine our Lord and Saviour who though he spake as never man did Joh. 7.46 and did all things wel Mark 7.37 which no man else ever did the like yet this could not prevaile but that though one while the people will make him King whether he will or no Joh. 6.15 yet another while wee will not have this man reigne over us Luk. 19.14 and if one day they cry before him riding to the great City Blessed be the King that commeth Luk. 19.38 yet a very few days after they cry more fiercely Crucifie crucifie him Mar. 15. yea though Pil●●● the Judge a stranger no friend to the King thought this so strange that he as offended with their rash cruelty asked shal I crucifie your King Joh. 19.15 There is not a Chronicle of any Nation under Heaven but may afford you plenty of instances to confirme this truth and therefore to avoid tediousnesse I shall refer you to that one which is written in the beginning of the Turkish History of Andronicus Anno Christi 1180. who notwithstanding his oath to withstand all Plots and Designes against the Honor and Person of the Emperour Alexius under colour of Zeale Justice and Reformation brings up his Army before the great City Constantinople to whom the Admirall with the ships revolts whereupon the Nobility and common people make into Andronicus and not onely the Emperour but all his neere friends are either exiled or imprisoned And then to prevent mischiefs to the State forsooth his favourites or flatterers must needs joyne Andronicus with Alexius copartner in the empire which done soone after Alexius the Emperour is deposed and strangled by the most ungodly Councell which acted all at Andronicus his beck yet so just was God and speedy in executing justice that sodainly the people in scorne and hate raise and rise against Andronicus who being forsaken by his former flatterers friends only to his fortune is taken led in scorneful triumph through the City where by all men women and children he is bitterly cursed and most shamefully used and being brought and hanged by the heeles in the open Theater the people cut off his buttocks and privities and so miserably and disgracefully he dyed having reigned but two yeares and this may teach you the inconstancy of the people the mutability of worldly happinesse and the just reward of Ambition and Treachery And though at this time some of your Army and of the people for your sake may be droven to so much wickednesse as to depose or murther their Liege Lord the Vicegerent of God without all Law yet conceive you not that either these the rest of the people of the old Army or even of your owne new Modell may not either return to their right wits or retaine so much Loyalty or Religion as to requite this act according as they are bound by all the Lawes of God Nations and this Kingdome And whether your designe be to depose or murther the King because he did leave you lean to your opposites or to destroy the Presbyterian leaders because they did adhere to the King against you yet be assured that as your aym is blood destruction so destruction and blood shall be your end remember Adonibezek Judges 1.6.7 as I have done so God hath requited me and heare the Poet nec enim lex justior ulla est Quam necis artifices arte perire suâ But above all heare God Hof 1 4. I will avenge the blood of Iezrael upon the house of Jehn And although God gave Iehn an extraordinary Commission for putting Ahab to death yet this in Hos 1.4 was denounced and executed against Jehu because he executed the Commission with a by-end of his own and in an undue manner and this Decree on Iehn's house and posterity was to take affect speedily yet a little while sayes the text and I will avenge saith the Lord c. and this little while was within one yeare and a halfe after the Decree Zanch. in Hos And let that be written as a perpetuall Momento over the doores of your private Closets and publike Councells or Courts which you reade 2. Kin. 21.23.24 That although King Amon as King Ahab was a great and most grosse Idolater such as by Gods expresse Law had incurred the penalty of death from God the Law-giver yet his servants his subjects for attempting and executing the death of their lawfull King are by God himselfe judged and so stiled Conspirators and they accordingly by the providence and justice of God are flaine and that presently upon their wicked act by the people of the Land which certainly is so exprest recorded that it might teach all how much it is against Gods wil that subjects should in any case conspire plot or execute the death of him who is their Lawfull Annoynted King And accordingly as you shal act or repent the Lord prosper you and this undoubtedly is the prayer of the greatest and best part of this Kingdome who joyntly cry Amen Amen FINIS
