that you will quarrel at it you are known to be of a polemical humour and temper of a hot Brain and hasty Pen the Hector of the Old Cause the Non-conformists Pope I wrong you not in the Appellation You have more than proved it in Acting the Pope Yours are the two Swords and you have with mighty valour drawn them both The temporal Sword you have drawn against the King in the late Rebellion and you glory that you drew in with you many thousands And in cold bloud near twenty years after you tell the World you cannot see you were mistaken nor dare you repent of it nor forbear the same if it were to doe again in the same state of things And Sir may I be so bold as to ask you Are you not this day of the same mind and wish the state of things were now the same that you might be Doing again Blessed be God who hath by Miracle taken from you the temporal Sword and restored it to the King whose it is But the spiritual Sword cannot be wrested from you and this you are so daring as to draw still against the Church upon which you are ever and anon making new Assaults and here too you muster your holy Army Two thousand Ministers and by the number of those Centurions we may guess how many are your Legions Shall demonstrate to you further how you take upon you the Pope in both his claims of highest Power One over Kings in your Holy Common-wealth bounding them all by your Laws for Government or rather binding them in your long and heavy Chain of 380 Links The other claim of highest Power over the whole Church you do in effect make of being its universal infallible Head and Guide where you say you have written a Treatise of The onely true terms of Concord of all Christian Churches and of the false Terms which they will never unite in but are the causes of Schism Here speaks an Oracle The onely terms of true and false Concord and Schism are in your Breast and given out from your infallible Chair a rare and happy Catholicon O that it may work the Cure Sorry I am it comes forth a little too late had you published it in the vacancy of the See of Canterbury you had infallibly been made Papa alterius orbis When you penned the Petition for Peace you proclaim to the World you onely had the Spirit of fortitude telling us how stoutly you stood up against the Bishops for the Old Cause when deserted by all your brethren in the Conflict But I hope you had not then attained the Spirit of infallibility if so I am upon a vain attempt and your Petition as you suggest is unanswerable and I have some ground to hope it since the pious old Gentleman who wrote Doctour Sanderson's Life assures us that the present Bishop of Chester told him very lately that one of the Dissenters whom he forbears to name but you intimately know him appeared to Dr. Sanderson to be so bold so troublesome and so illogical in the Dispute at the Savoy as forced the patient Bishop then Moderatour to say with an unusual earnestness that he never met with a man of more pertinacious Confidence and less Abilities in all his conversation Sir you talk much of Peace and Love Concord and Vnion and the Cure of Divisions and they are the Title of divers of your Books yet abundance of judicious and peaceable person do think and say that you have more opposed the Peace of the church and State too and contributed to its Divisions than any or all the party of your profession Nay that you are not at peace with your own party and where they express their dissent from you though never so modestly you treat them rudely and insolently as anon I may give you an Instance At present I shall take the liberty to consider and offer you some of my Sentiments upon two of those Discourses I now named your Holy Commonwealth and your Plea for Peace For the first truly I was seised with wonder and grief at the sight of your Commonwealth that seventeen years after our late Troubles began and they yet continuing you having in prospect our lamentable Confusions and leisure to reflect upon the Ruins of the Church and State and seeing the Kingdom overturned by Rebellion Sedition Murther and Plunder the Violation of all the Laws and of all mens Rights and the seising sequestring and selling the Estates of the King the Bishops and the most eminently loyal Subjects and after the horrid Assassination of the King himself turned into several monstrous forms as the several powers and ambitious of several parties prevailed and seeing also the Church rent all into sects and factions its holy Doctrine polluted with monstrous heresies its apostolical Government pluckt up root and branch its most religious Form of publick worship abolished and every gifted Brother left to his private mode you could have so little sense and pitty that I say not piety as not in the least to deplore the Calamities of our Zion that God in the indignation of his anger had despised the King and the Priest cast off his Altar abhorred his Sanctuary his Enemies roaring in the midst of his Congregations and setting up their Banners for tokens That in all your tedious Book you not once lament our Josiah the Lord 's Anointed taken in the snares of wicked men Though in the beginning of it you resent the ill useage of the usurping Protector to whom you give flattering Titles Nay that you could cry up those who had contrived and acted all these Mischiefs and Miseries to be the Godly party and theirs the Good cause and as if there had been never such a thing as a Kingdom in England you should form as Utopian Common-wealth by Centuries of wild and seditious Maxims I may hereafter make some Animadversions upon your Common-wealth I will now onely recall to your second thoughts a few of your Theses which speak it not very holy In your Preface Romans the 13th being objected unto you you avow resistence of the King with an offer of your Head to Justice as a Rebel if any can prove that the King was the Highest Power in the time of Division and had Power to make that War That is If any can prove the King was in Authortiy above those who even when opposing him acknowledged themselves his Subjects and turning Rebels he had Right by War to defend himself and reduce them to obedience Sir you may bless God that the King's Son and Successour was like him a most mercifull Prince else your Offer might by his Justice have been taken All Writers think Saint Paul means by the Higher Powers the Emperour or which is all one the King and name him and your self name him elsewhere If a heathen persecuting Nero must be obeyed and Saint Peter calls the King Supreme and yet you miserably shuffie off both with
