A55779	The cloudie clergie, or, A mourning lecture for our morning lecturers intended for a weekly antidote against the daily infection of those London preachers, who de die in diem do corrupt the judgments of their seduced auditors, against the governours and government of the common-wealth of England, grounded upon received aphorismes, digested into chapters, fit to be considered by those froward [sic] chaplins that have been the Quondam Beautefews against the late King of England, and are the present beadsmen for the now King of Scotland : the like whereof they may expect from week to week, while they abuse the Parliament and army from day to day / by a friend, who for their timous recovery doth cri in hope.	Price, John, Citizen of London.	1650 (1650)	Wing P3341; ESTC R983	16,180	22

and joyn with their reasons to oppose their Votes so that you see why we cannot grant that the present authority had no authority for what they did though a Minor party of that authority chosen by the people which is the first Answer to the first part of your Objection Secondly though it should be granted that thosethat are in present authority did unlawfully usurpe their authority wil it therefore follow that their authority it self is unlawful and that it is unlawful to obey it in lawful things what will be the consequences of such an inference Surely there is a distinction to be made between lawful authority and the persons therein and the means whereby they were invested therein if their authority was unlawful because acquired by force of Arms contrary to the vote of those that had it lawfully invested in them where shall we finde a lawful authority in the world when generally if not universally all the parts of the world in respect of their Governors are so ruled viz. by force would you in a sober grave Christian and dispassionate maner consult with the holy Scriptures you cannot but know how that many Kings of Israel and Iudah under the old Testament did in regard of their right from man acquire their Governments by force and power you know well how Ieroboam by the advantage of the distemper of the ten Tribes raised by the tyrannical threatnings of Rehoboam That his little finger should be thicker then his fathers loyns and that he would turn his fathers Whips into Scorpions just as the last King did multiply Oppressions and cruelties upon the Nation above what his father did did joyn himself with the ten Tribes and the said Tribes having killed Adoram with stones being sent by Rehoboam to purifie them took the said Ieroboam and made him King by force of arms and so alienated the Crown from the house of David and there was a deadly feude alwayes after between Rehoboam and Ieroboam as is now between the Royallists and Parliamenteers in their Successors and yet we finde not that God was displeased either with the men of Israel or the men of Iudah for their obedience to their respective Kings Afterward Baasha the son of Abiah raiseth war against Nadab the son of Ieroboam and kild him got the Crown himself and raigned in his stead after Baasha his death Elah his son raigned in his stead and his servant Zimri kills him and got the Crown in his stead in his time Omri by the power of the sword still gets the Crown and forceth Zimri desperately to burne himself after this the Kingdom of Israel was divided one half of the people take Tibni the son of Ginah and make him King the other half followed Omri and then they tried who had the longest sword sti●… and at last Tibni and his party being foiled Omri got all and raigned alone after Omri Ahab his son raigned in his stead Ahab he takes a wicked Idolatrous Iezabel as the late King of England did in the like case to be his Queen she prevails with him as the case still runs parallel to rear up Altars for the service of Baal as he did in Somersets House and elsewhere upon the like account multiplying Idolatrous worship and service above his Predecessors then the Prophets of the Lord lifted up their voices against him for his wickedness as you know the faithful Ministers did against the late King you your selves being some of them that did so whom he imprisons and persecutes with a perfect hatred as you very well know the said late King of England did abominate from his heart all Puritan Preachers which was one of his Characters in all mens mouthes well abundance of mischief did this wicked Iezabel the Queen work in Israel especially against the faithful Prophets of the Lord for their opposition of her Priests at last Ahab following the counsels of his false prophets contrary to the advice of the faithful Prophets of the Lord lost his life at Ramoth Gilead as the late King did his head at White-Hall the time would fail to run through all instances of the Kings of Israel and Iudah in this kinde If you look into the new Testament you know that Christ was born when the Scepter was got by force of Arms from Israel and Iudah who ●…ere subject to the Romans and paid
