princely Pallace Westminster write vpon thy seats of Iustice and high Court of Parliament write vpon thy Vaults Cells and Sepulchers write vpon thy doores posts and passages Beer-lahai-roi and say Thou God lookest on mee Thou Emperiall seate of great Brittaine fragrant for thy flowers and for thy Coller of Mirtles twisted with the Roses of both houses dignified with the Diadem of Rubies wreathed with the armes and supporters of both kingdome I say thou great Brittaine famous as at the first for thy old name honorable now for thy new birth and euer blessed for thy happy and so desired an vnion whereby our former ruines are repaired streames of bloude are stopped old malice is worne out and deadly fude is forgotten for all which abundant great mercies as also for this thy late deliuerance write Ruhamah Ruhamah Mercy Mercy Write vpon thy Ports Holds and Castles Mercy Write vpon thy Towers Townes and Temples Mercy Write vpon thy fields waies and wastes Mercie Write vppon thy Corne Coine and Cattle Mercy Say the Lord hath had mercy vpon vs hee hath had pleasure in his people and hath made the meeke glorious by deliuerance For all which Mercies say God is my King of old the helpe that is done vpon the earth hee doth it himselfe Say with Eliphas Iob his friend but Great Brittains Prophet When others are cast downe then shalt thou say I am lifted vp and God shall saue the humble person for the innocent shall deliuer the Iland and it shall be preserued by the purenesse of thine hands Innocent King innocēt Queene innocent Prince Peere Prophet and people if not for fiftie sa●e yet for fortie If not for fortie yet for thirtie If not for thirtie yet for twentie If not for twenty yet for ten iust persons the Lord hath put by this terrible blow of these wicked Shebaes For should not the God of al the world do according to right Pleade thou our cause O Lord with them that striue with vs and fight thou against them that fight against vs Let them not say in their hearts There there so would we haue it neither let them say We haue deuoured them Which and if they had then might wee haue said with the prophet There is a crying in the streetes all our ioy is darkened the mirth of the world is gone away in the Cittie is left desolation the gate is striken with destruction Then might we haue sung with Dauid the mournfull Lamentation hee vttered of his King to his Country O noble Israell hee is slaine vpon thy high places how are thy mighty ouerthrowne Saul and Ionathan were louely in their liues and at their deaths they were not diuided Then might wee haue said that vpon the fift day of Nouember we should neuer haue kept merrie feast the day of the dissolution of so blessed an estate We might haue said indeede that this yeere 1605. had beene a yeere of Reuolution and that Tuesday were our dismall day Criticall in Scotland the fift of August for Cowry his treason and dismall in England the fift of Nouember for Faukes his designe plotted by bloudy Papists the bane of Christendome and Dolmans dogges now warranted by a new doctrine to barke at Kings and bite the Lords annointed if they be not pleasing to their deuotions And here a little pardon me in your patience if in further detestation of Popish Impietie I let you see a strained Paradox of that enormeous sect who to make good their foule fault of parricide for what are Kings but nursing fathers to the Church of GOD haue brought in a doctrine to maintaine that the Pope may depose subiects may depriue their kings both of life and liuelihood if they faile in faith or obedience to the Apostolike Sea as may appeare by Dolman Cymanca Rosseus and Feu-ardentius belowes aduanced to blow the fire of distempered spirits pointing at nothing more then woefull desolation if by distraction of parts and dissolution of the whole they might bring into Christian states confusion the mother of ruine and all mischiefe Surely if not to pray for a king be an vndoubted sinne it is a greater sinne to thinke vpon the killing of a King to commit the murther and doe the deede is double to that but to traduce and draw the lawfulnesse thereof into a doctrine thereby to poyson the posterity is a treble sinne and wel deserueth a double death But it is no wonder to see such workes flie abroad from Italienated spirits who haue filled the world with the froth and furie of their owne madnesse one is not ashamed to write a book in praise of Sodomy another to put out proiects and pictures of shameful villany and why not Dolman with the rest of his ranke and rabble Authoritate Apostolica to write books in praise of Parricide and that not of meane men but of Magistrates yea euen of Kings and of the Lords annointed But good Lord how long and what will be the title of their next treatise surely some Popish Pamphlet or other of mentall reseruation to maintaine a moderne mischiefe by a Popish paradox but we will leaue them to the lust of their extrauagant thoughts and still follow the streame of the Lords many goodnesses and mercies towards vs and as of the present so with some memorie of precedent mercies whereof we may say that if euer any people vnder heauen felt the royall presence the particular prouidence or stable promise of their GOD in familiar sort it is and hath beene this English Nation The time was when Tullie said of our pouerty to Trebatio In Britannia nihil esse audio neque auri neque argēti I heare there is nothing in great Brittaine either of gold or siluer but were Tullie now aliue to see how the Lord hath enriched this Nation with his hidden treasures and made it of more esteeme then those hills of robbing Rome he would cease to mocke at our pouerty and admire our plenty whose earth is an Eden and Clowdes drop downe fatnesse The time was when a Pagan Poet plaide vpon our barbaritie ioyned vs with Scythians put vs out of the world and said Britanni diuisi ab orbe but were he now aliue to see how God hath softned our hearts with the sweet rellish of his heauenly science Quae Emollit mores nec sinit esse feros he would cease to say Orbis in vrbe and thinke the whole world were within our continent The time was when all our garments were tumbled in bloud and as in Troys destruction so in ours bright burnings gaue vs light when diuers conquests sundry inuasions the Barons warres with the destruction of the houses of Yorke and Lancaster and many a foughten field betweene the two Kingdomes rent our state and wasted it with much fire and wofull hostilitie But now by the prouidence of almightie God our Riuers runne milke the houses with the Kingdome are both vnited in a peaceable
