A46843 King Charles I, no such saint, martyr or good Protestant as commonly reputed, but a favourer of Papists and a cruel and oppressive tyrant all plainly proved from undeniable matters of fact : to which are added Dr. Burnet's, now Bishop of Salisbury, and other reasons, against the keeping up any longer the observation of a fast on the 30th of January : as also short answers to these three questions, I, what is the occasion of the clergies pride and lording it over the laity, II, why they and many of the laity cry up this king for a saint, martyr, &c., III, what is the true reason that the generality of the clergy, and many of the laity, both lawyers and others, are constant advocates for kings, tho never so wicked, and sacrificers of the people.

unhappy_a for_o his_o kingdom_n and_o be_v such_o person_n as_o these_o fit_a to_o be_v trust_v by_o the_o people_n man_n that_o labour_v all_o they_o can_v to_o make_v the_o king_n a_o powerful_a tyrant_n and_o his_o subject_n a_o miserable_a enslave_v people_n beside_o can_v rational_a man_n think_v it_o safe_a to_o permit_v such_o a_o king_n and_o his_o evil_a counsellor_n to_o carry_v on_o

a_o continue_a piece_n of_o popish_a tyranny_n and_o oppression_n that_o the_o people_n of_o england_n with_o the_o great_a cheerfulness_n run_v the_o hazard_n of_o their_o life_n and_o fortune_n to_o free_v themselves_o and_o posterity_n from_o they_o both_o and_o i_o challenge_v the_o great_a advocate_n for_o this_o pretend_a saint_n and_o martyr_n to_o disprove_v the_o least_o matter_n in_o this_o book_n lay_v to_o his_o charge_n nay_o i_o will_v go_v far_o i_o challenge_v they_o to_o give_v i_o or_o any_o one_o else_o a_o satisfactory_a account_n of_o one_o good_a act_n he_o ever_o do_v for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n or_o the_o good_a of_o his_o three_o kingdom_n except_o constrain_v by_o his_o people_n thereunto_o for_o a_o conclusion_n of_o this_o discourse_n i_o shall_v make_v a_o few_o remark_n which_o i_o hope_v if_o well_o observe_v may_v be_v very_o useful_a not_o only_o to_o this_o present_a age_n but_o to_o posterity_n 1._o i_o shall_v give_v a_o short_a answer_n to_o this_o question_n why_o do_v the_o generality_n of_o the_o clergy_n and_o laity_n so_o much_o adore_v and_o idolise_v all_o monarch_n whether_o good_a or_o bad_a above_o the_o people_n the_o reason_n be_v plain_a the_o people_n have_v nothing_o material_a in_o a_o monarchical_a government_n to_o bestow_v upon_o these_o court_n parasite_n for_o the_o king_n have_v the_o disposal_n of_o the_o bishopric_n deanery_n prebendary_n archdeaconry_n and_o most_o other_o great_a live_n and_o also_o most_o of_o the_o temporal_a beneficial_a place_n as_o chancellor_n judge_n and_o other_o great_a office_n from_o such_o a_o sort_n of_o man_n as_o these_o nothing_o but_o court-doctrine_n can_v be_v expect_v for_o they_o be_v well_o assure_v shall_v they_o preach_v or_o write_v for_o the_o right_n or_o privilege_n of_o the_o people_n in_o arbitrary_a reign_n it_o will_v be_v the_o ready_a way_n to_o dash_v all_o their_o hope_n of_o preferment_n into_o piece_n and_o here_o i_o can_v but_o make_v a_o melancholy_a observation_n as_o to_o the_o clergy_n in_o general_n of_o the_o late_a reign_n viz._n that_o by_o all_o i_o can_v hear_v or_o read_v they_o have_v be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v christian_a advocate_n for_o the_o right_n and_o privilege_n of_o million_o of_o people_n that_o they_o have_v in_o a_o most_o wicked_a manner_n promote_v and_o preach_v up_o those_o doctrine_n that_o plain_o tend_v to_o make_v they_o miserable_a and_o last_a slave_n indeed_o i_o must_v confess_v some_o few_o of_o they_o have_v signalise_v themselves_o for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o people_n and_o against_o popery_n particular_o that_o incomparable_a phoenix_n of_o our_o age_n mr._n samvel_n johnson_n a_o person_n that_o by_o his_o sensible_a conversation_n and_o his_o golden_a work_n have_v do_v more_o service_n to_o rescue_v england_n from_o popery_n and_o slavery_n and_o secure_a english_a man_n right_n and_o privilege_n than_o most_o if_o not_o all_o the_o bishop_n and_o clergyman_n ever_o do_v since_o the_o reformation_n his_o work_n be_v so_o excellent_a and_o high_o valuable_a that_o they_o will_v preserve_v his_o fame_n long_o after_o he_o be_v dead_a and_o will_v make_v good_a that_o motto_n vivit_fw-la post_fw-la funera_fw-la virtus_fw-la and_o i_o can_v wish_v the_o nobility_n and_o gentry_n will_v encourage_v by_o subscription_n some_o bookseller_n or_o printer_n to_o reprint_v all_o this_o great_a man_n work_n in_o one_o folio_n that_o the_o divine_a and_o noble_a truth_n therein_o contain_v may_v be_v hand_v down_o for_o the_o public_a good_a to_o posterity_n i_o be_o extreme_o well_o please_v that_o our_o gracious_a king_n william_n have_v in_o some_o measure_n though_o not_o so_o much_o nor_o so_o soon_o as_o i_o can_v wish_v though_o he_o have_v merit_v more_o than_o other_o reward_v his_o inhuman_a suffering_n and_o eminent_a service_n for_o these_o kingdom_n i_o will_v never_o have_v a_o good_a man_n have_v the_o least_o cause_n to_o say_v virtus_fw-la laudatur_fw-la &_o alget_fw-la and_o that_o aude_n aliquid_fw-la brevibus_fw-la gyaris_fw-la aut_fw-la carcere_fw-la dignum_fw-la si_fw-la vis_fw-la esse_fw-la aliquid_fw-la be_v the_o right_a way_n to_o preferment_n 2._o what_o occasion_n the_o clergy_n usurp_v one_o province_n more_o than_o belong_v to_o they_o viz._n the_o law_n when_o god_n know_v they_o have_v work_n enough_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v that_o their_o flock_n may_v be_v well_o feed_v with_o the_o milk_n of_o god_n word_n 1._o want_v of_o that_o true_a piety_n that_o will_v keep_v they_o close_o to_o their_o duty_n to_o god_n and_o man_n 2._o as_o i_o hint_v before_o they_o pick_v up_o scrap_n of_o law_n to_o make_v prince_n great_a that_o they_o may_v get_v promotion_n thereby_o though_o to_o the_o sacrifice_a of_o their_o country_n last_o the_o imprudent_a familiarity_n the_o nobility_n and_o gentry_n have_v with_o they_o many_o of_o who_o be_v poor_a ignorant_a impious_a and_o scandalous_a fellow_n that_o arise_v from_o be_v parish_n boy_n etc._n etc._n which_o make_v they_o so_o proud_a as_o to_o strut_v and_o lord_n it_o over_o the_o people_n to_o a_o prodigious_a degree_n i_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n be_v think_v by_o this_o to_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o pious_a good_a clergyman_n that_o as_o christian_a minister_n discharge_v their_o duty_n for_o i_o solemn_o profess_v i_o have_v the_o high_a value_n and_o esteem_v for_o all_o such_o holy_a man_n and_o i_o observe_v in_o my_o travel_n in_o holland_n that_o the_o dutch_a do_v high_o respect_v their_o minister_n who_o i_o must_v real_o confess_v i_o believe_v to_o be_v famous_a for_o good_a life_n and_o conversation_n far_o beyond_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o english_a clergy_n yet_o they_o keep_v these_o good_a man_n at_o a_o due_a distance_n not_o suffer_v any_o of_o their_o minister_n to_o be_v see_v at_o any_o time_n in_o a_o alehouse_n tavern_n or_o in_o a_o coffee-house_n except_o on_o their_o travel_n where_o refreshment_n must_v be_v have_v to_o support_v nature_n and_o if_o any_o of_o they_o shall_v transgress_v in_o this_o matter_n they_o immediate_o
