The Copy OF A MOST PITHY AND PIOUS LETTER VVritten by a faithfull Subject of this Kingdom to JAMES USHER Arch-Bishop of ARMAGH to perswade our KING to return with speed in Peace to His PARLIAMENT Published by Authority July 10th LONDON Printed by Robert White My Lord SO oft as I call to mind and consider what evident demonstrations you have formerly given to the truly Godly and Religious party in these Kingdoms both by your life and doctrine that you are one of them I cannot but admire that you have of late gone out from them 1 Jo. 2.19 and have not continued with them especially if you should be a meanes as some do feare you are of keeping our King from them But truly my Lord for mine own part though I do conclude that you have grossely failed in this particular act yet do I still look upon you as a second Mnason Act. 21.16 an old Disciple Neverthelesse I say Rev. 2.45 I have somewhat against you because you have lost your first love Remember therefore from whence you are fallen and repent and do your first works My Lord I hope you know and if you do not I pray you give me leave to tell you yea and I beseech you also to tell our King that the Members of His two Houses of Parliament assembled at Westminster together with such as do truly adhere unto them are for the major part of them regenerate men such as truly know Christ and believe on his name men fearing God and eschewing evill Job 1.1 Mal. 3.17 who stand for Gods cause and seek to advance his glory and therefore they are his Jewels who do for Conscience sake love and honour their King in their hearts witnesse their humble and hearty Petitions to His Majestie for his returne to them in Peace And their many and fervent Prayers which they have and do put up unto God both in Pulpits Houses and private Closets for his welfare both in soule and body and for his happy returne to them in peace and safety Yea and witnesse their expending of their estates and adventuring of their lives not against his Majestie but for him viz. for the subduing of his evill Counsellers who have seduced him and withdrawn and kept him so long from them that so they might rescue him out of their hands and bring him home to themselves in peace and safety And again my Lord I hope you are not ignorant being as it were amongst them though I hope none of them that those who are about His Majesty together with such as set themselves against His Parliament are to the griefe of your heart for the major part of them unregenerate men such as neither truly know Christ nor believe on his name and the feare of God is not before their eyes Rom. 3.18 Are you such a stranger to His Majesties Army as they by some are stiled that you do not know that it is almost if not altogether made up of professed Papists superstitious ignorant and profane persons as Swearers Blasphemers Liers Whoremongers and as it were all the wicked of the land who fight for nothing but Popery Superstition Profanenesse Carnall liberty Worldly commodity and whatsoever tends to the dishonour of God And though I have the fame hopes of some of them that I have of you viz. that you love and honour His Majesty for conscience sake Yet I feare me the number of such are very few And as for the rest if the worldly wiser sort of them do shew any love and honour to their King it is but to the end He might love and honour them and so indeed it is themselves they love and honour and not their King And if the simpler sort of them do love and honour him alas it is but meerly out of an instinct in nature and indeed such as these do love and honour their King more than they do their God and so indeed they make a God or rather an Idol of their King My Lord 2 Pet. 2.17 you know the Apostle Peter bids First feare God and then honour the King Implying that the man that doth not truly feare God cannot sincerely honor the King And though they say many a time God save your Majesty and God blesse our King or reade a prayer for him upon a book yet these are but a forme of words and no true prayer For how can they call on him in whom they have not beleeved Rom. 10.14 Wherefore my Lord I pray you open your eyes and discerne between the Righteous and the wicked Mal. 3.8 between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not and go out to meete the King 2 Chro. 19.2 and say unto him as Iehu the son of Hanani the Seer said unto King Iehoshaphat Shouldest thou help the ungodly and love them that hate the Lord and beseech His Majesty rather to say with godly King David Psal 139.21.22 Do not I hate them O Lord that hate thee and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee I hate them with perfect hatred and count them mine enemies Psal 119.115 wherefore depart from me ye evil doers for I will keep the Commandements of my God A froward heart shall depart from me I will not know a wicked person mine eyes shall be upon the faithfull of the land Psal 101.4.6 that they may dwell with me he that walketh in a perfect way shall serve me Psal 16.2.3 for my goodnesse extendeth unto the Saints that are in the earth in whom is all my delight And put His Majesty in mind how godly King Iosiah in going out to war against the minde of God was slaine in the Valley of Megiddo 2 Chro. 35.21.22 Dan. 4.27 and then say unto him Wherefore O King let my Councell be acceptable unto you breake off thy sinnes by Righteousnesse and returne in Peace with speed to your Parliament And that he may be the more willing so to do I beseech you assure His Majesty that it would be very well pleasing to God and very comfortable to his two Houses of Parliament and very joyfull newes to all his Subjects except such as have deserved to feele the hand of Justice And who can devise a surer and speedier way for the putting an end to these miserable warres setling a firme and happy peace preventing the shedding of more innocent blood then His Majesties returne would be nay can any man find out a more speedy and surer way to His Majesties own Honour and safety then this would be judge in your selfe my Lord whether this will not redound much to the Honour of our King when it shall be said for the present and written for the future that Charles the first King of England Scotland France and Ireland c. being seduced by evil Counsell did for a time make warre against his Parliament but then afterwards pittying the lamentable condition that his good
