Evidenced by presidents and testimonies in all ages, worthy the knowledg, imitation, and serious consideration of our present degenerated disloyal, antimonarchical generation. In two parts.

THE SECOND PART OF THE Signal Loyalty and Devotion of Gods true Saints and pious Christians towards their KINGS HAving lately presented the world with the first part of the Signal Loyalty and Devotion of Gods true Saints and Pious Christians as likewise of Idolatrous Pagans towards their Kings and Emperors both before and under the Law and also under the Gospel whiles their Emperors and Kings were Idolaters and Ethnicks expressed both by their private and publick Supplications Prayers Intercessions and Thanksgivings unto God by their Votes Acclamations unto themselves others for their health safety long-life temporal spiritual and eternal felicity whether they were Good or Bad Orthodox or Heterodox Protectors or Persecutors in 5. distinct Chapters I shall now by Gods assistance proceed to the constant practice of Christians under the Gospel in this kind after their Kings and Emperors became Christians professing the Gospel of Jesus Christ whether their Kings and Emperors were gracious and Religious vitious or impious Orthodox or Erronious beginning with the Kings of our own Island and presenting you with presidents of this kind both in forein Prelates and Clergy-men as well as in their Domestick Christian Subjects of all sorts our British Island producing the first Christian King Queen and Emperor in the world and the first presidents of private and publick Supplications Prayers Intercessions and thanksgivings for them unto God and Votes Acclamations for their safety health life and prosperity as they were Christian CHAP. VI. THe very first Christian King professing the Christian Religion under the Gospel mentioned in History is Lucius King of the Britons reigning in this our Island this King Anno Christi 156. as Radulphus Baldoc the Chronicle of Gis●urn the antient Manuscript De primo statu Landavensis Ecclesiae and Bishop Vsher out of them relate sending two Embassadors to Pope Elutherius most earnestly and devoutly intreating him That by his command and will he might be made a Christian This Pope thereupon granting his request Gratias agens Deo suo c. giving thanks to his God and singing Glory be to God on high for joy that this King and Nation who had continued Gentiles from the first peopling of the Island by Brute did so ardently hasten to the faith of Christ sending Eluan and Meduin to convert them After which this King Lucius in the year 179. or sooner as some or in the year 185. or later as others think it writing a Letter to Pope Elutherius to send him a Copy of the Imperial Laws to govern his Nation by them this Pope in the conclusion of his Epistle in Answer to the Kings Letter inserted this devout Prayer unto God in his behalf Det vobis omnipotens Deus c. Almighty God grant you so to rule the Kingdom of Britain that you may reign for ever with him whose Vicar you are in the Realm aforesaid If this Pope though a forein Prelate thus prayed to God for this first Christian King no doubt his own Christian Bishops Ministers whom he endowed with ample possessions and maintenance and his Christian Subjects in their private and publick Prayers and Devotions to God and in their Epistles and Addresses to him did much more imitate his example in pursuit of the Apostles precept 1 Tim. 2. 1 2 3. as all the Primitive Christians did even for their Pagan Kings and Emperors as I have evidenced in the precedent Chapters though we find no expresse mention thereof in our British Histories The first Christian Queen in the world was Helena Daughter of King Coel whose Son Constantine the Great born and first created Emperor in our Island of Britain was the first Roman Emperor who publickly professed the Christian faith and instituted publick Prayers to be made unto God by his Souldiers People and Subjects whether Christians or Ethnicks for himself his Sons and his Posterity who constantly powred forth their Supplications Prayers Intercessions and Thanksgivings unto God for his life health safety victories and successes

expresse our unspeakable Joyes That immediately upon the dissolution and decease of Elizabeth late Queen of England the Imperial Crown of the Realm of England and of all the Kingdoms Dominions and Rights belonging to the same did by inherent Birthright and lawfull and undoubted Success●en descend and come to your most Excellent Majestie as being Lineally Justly and Lawfully next and sole Heir of the Blood Royal of this Realm as is aforesaid And that by the goodnesse of God Almighty and lawfull Right of descent under one Imperial Crown your Majestie is of the Realms and Kingdoms of England Scotland France and Ireland the most Potent and mighty King and by Gods goodnesse more able to protect and govern us your loving Subjects in all Peace and Plentie than any of your noble Progenitors And thereunto we most humbly and faithfully do submit and oblige our selves our heirs and posterities for ever until the last drop of our Bloods be spent And do beseech your Majestie to accept the same as the first fruits in this high Court of Parliament of our Loyalty and faith to your Majestie and your Royal Progenie and posterity for ever Which if your Majestie shall be pleased as an argument of your gracious acceptation to adorn with your Majesties Royal Assent without which it can neither be complete and perfect nor remain to all posteritie according to our most humble desire as a memorial of your Princely and tender affection towards us we shall adde this also to the rest of your Majesties unspeakable and inestimable benefits In which Act there are these particulars very seasonable and observable in respect of the present posture of our publike affairs 1. That the happy union and conjunction of our divided Kingdoms formenly torn and wasted with long and miserable dissentions and bloody civil wars between Competitors for the Crown and the King and Subjects is a great and unspeakable benefit and blessing to the Kingdom and Nation bestowed on them by God himself 2. That the re-uniting not only of the two but three mighty famous and antient Kingdoms of England Scotland and Ireland under one Imperial Crown and Heredirary King is a far more inestimable and unspeakable blessing to all 3. Kingdoms and Nations 3. That there is no Interregnum in Law in the Realm and Crown of England but that immediately upon the decease of the King thereof the Imperial Crown of the Realm of England and of all the Kingdoms Dominions and Rights belonging to the same do by inherent birth-right and lawfull and undoubted Succession Lineally Justly and lawfully descend to the next heir of the blood Royal before he be publikely crowned King As this Act in direct Terms declares and all the Judges of England unanimously adjudged in the case of Watson and Cleark 2. Popish Priests who held King James no lawfull King before he was Crowned and thereupon conspired to imprison him in the Tower c. for which they were both condemned and executed as Traytors Hill 1. Jacobi as had been oft adjudged before in the first 7. years of King H. 6. and in the cases of Queen Jane the Dukes of Northumberland and Suffolk the Lord Rochford Sir John Gates Sir Thomas Palmer and others condemned in levying War against her and executed 1 Mariae for Treason against Qu. Mary before she was Crowned to deprive her of the Crown which both the Peers and Judges of the Realm and the Parliament of 1 Mariae ch 16. adjudged Treason within 25 E. 3. against the mistaken Doctrine of Mr. Thomas Scot and some temporizing Lawyers of late years 4. That it is the duty and practice of all loyal and faithfull Subjects of all estates and degrees with all possible publike joyes unspeakable general rejoycings acclamations applauses affectionate desires by other means to proclaim acknowledge and Crown their lawfull hereditary Kings after the decease of their Ancestors and to make all possible demonstrations of their cordial loyalty love zeal and affection to them both in and out of Parliment being obliged thereunto both by the Laws of God and Man 5. That this Act of Parliament and the Oathes of Supremacy and Allegiance do both in point of Law Loyalty Justice Conscience oblige the whole English Nation their heirs and posterities for ever to be true faithfull loyal and obedient to King James his heirs and posteritie for ever and so to our present King till the last drop of their blood be spent as to their undoubted lawfull and hereditary Kings and Soveraigns 6. That a numerous hopefull royal Progeny likely to continue and perpetuate the hereditarie succession of the Crown in the true Regal line is an extraordinarie blessing and happinesse to the Kingdom for which they are all bound both in and out of Parliament to render all humble thanks and praises unto God To this I shall subjoyn the Statute of 3 Iacobi ch 1. entituled An Act for a publick Thanksgiving to Almighty God every year on the fifth day of November FOrasmuch as Almightie God hath in all ages shewed his power and mercy in the miraculous and gracious deliverance of his Church and in the protection of religious Kings and States And that no Nation of the earth hath been blessed with greater benefits than this Kingdom now enjoyeth having the true and free profession of the Gospel under our most gracious Soveraign Lord King Iames the most great learned and religious King that ever reigned therein enriched with a most hopefull and plentifull Progeny proceeding out of his Royal loyns promising continuance of this happinesse and profession to all posterity the which many malignant and devillish Papists Jesuites and Seminary Priests much envying and fearing Conspired most horribly when the Kings most Excellent Majesty the Queen the Prince and all the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons should have been assembled in the Upper House of Parliament upon the fifth day of November in the year of our Lord 1605. suddenlie to have blown up the said whole House with Gunpowder An invention so inhuman barbarous and cruel as the like was never before heard of and was as some of the principal Conspirators thereof confesse purposely devised and concluded to be done in the said House that where the sundry necessarie and Religious Laws for preservation of the Church and State were made which they falsly and slanderously term cruel Laws enacted against them and their Religion both place and persons should be all destroyed and blown up at once which would have turned to the utter ruine of this whole Kingdom had it not pleased Almighty God by inspiring the Kings most Excellent Majestie with a Divine spirit to interpret some dark phrases of a Letter shewed to his Majestie above and beyond all ordinarie construction thereby miraculously discovering this hidden Treason not many hours before the appointed time for the execution thereof Therefore the Kings most Excellent Majestie the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and all his Majesties Faithfull and loving

the holy Scriptures from them from my childhood which brought me into the knowledge of the truth but when I became a man and had very frequently used peregrinations and had fallen into the consideration of many things as was meet I verily found in other Arts Sciences much concord amongst those who exactly exercise singular Arts but in the Church of God only and for which Christ dyed and into which he hath abundantly and richly powred forth his holy Spirit I observed the greatest discord and vehement dissentions of many both between themselves and also against the divine Scripture and that which is most horrid the very Presidents of the Church constituted in so great a Dissention both of mind and opinions between themselves and fighting against the commands of our Lord Jesus Christ with so great contrariety as even cruelly to dissipate the Church of Christ and to disturb his redeemed Flock without any commiseration that even on these now if ever when wicked men went out and flourished that of the Apostles may be fulfilled Out of your selves shall arise men speaking perverse things that they may draw disciples after them When I discerned these things and the like and doubted what and whence the sourse of so great an evil might be at first I was as it were in some thick darknesse and as if set in a ballance I did turn my self now on this side now on that side one scale drawing me to it self by reason of the long custom of men but the other pulling me back for the truth acknowledged in the holy Scripture Now when as this had for some space and very often hapned whiles I was searching out the cause of this evil as I have related that of the Book relating the History of the Judges came into my mind where it is written that every one then did what seemed right in his eyes and the cause thereof is declared together with it in that which is premised That in those daies there was no King in Israel Therefore remembring these things I did think even of these present dissentions that which truly is terrible to be spoken and perchance a paradox but if it shall be considered and weighed is most true that peradventure even now for the contempt of one great true and only King of all there is so great Dissention and Fighting among those who are in the Church of Christ whiles every one hath revolted from the Doctrine of our Lord Jesus Christ and challengeth to himself by his own Authority his own cogitations and definitions and would rather reign against the Lord than be subject to the Lord and be governed by him When I searched this with my self and stood amazed at this monstrous impiety did yet further search it out I was farther perswaded that the foresaid cause was true by nothing more then from the things of this life For I saw every state of a multitude well compounded and to obtain agreement and consist together so long only as their obedience was kept towards some one King over them all and on the other side that dissention and division of every kind yea and moreover polyarchy did arise from hence if there being no King there was liberty obtained of doing any thing we would I have seen sometimes even a swarm of Bees from the Law of Nature to wage War and in order to follow their own King And truly I my self have beheld many such things and I have also heard many such things and those know more who are imployed about these things that even from hence that I have said may be proved to be true for it is the property and peculiar of those who look unto the command of one and obey and use one King that they are may be well disposed and at concord among themselves therfore all dissention discord is both a Judgment and sign of that contumacy wherein the principality of one is rejected According to the same reason even the very dissention which is forbidden both between the Commandements of our Father and our Lord and also between our selves ariseth either from a departure from the true King or from the renouncing of him which he there further proves from sundry Texts Therefore by his and Gods own resolution there is no way to heal our manifold Dissensions Distractions and restore peace unity order in our Church and State but by returning to our true lawfull Spiritual and Temporal only Kings both whom we have most contemptuously and obstinately so long rejected both in our devotions legal transactions our Church and State affairs which I wish all Republicans Antimonarchists most seriously to ponder and our new Junctoes and General Council of Army-Officers seduced and acted by Campanella Spanish and Romish Emissaries to promote our ruine who of our Servants are now become our Soveraign Lords and Legifers changing their lunatick Votes Resolutions Moddels of Government as frequently as the Moon to keep us in endless Confusions by trampling all Laws of God and the Realm and their spiritual as well as temporal King and Monarchy under their feet But this King of Kings as he hath of late years dashed them in pieces by his admirable stupendious providences of which they will not take notice for this their obstinate opposition of and rebellion against their Kings Monarchy and Kingship Prov. 24. 21 22. so no doubt He that sitteth in the Heavens if they therein still proceed will laugh at them and their Antimonarchical Votes the Lord shall have them in derision yea he shall speak unto them in his wrath and vex them in his sore displeasure He shall break them with a rod of Iron and dash them in pieces like a Potters vessel maugre all their forces votes counsels confederacies and make good those general promises Yet have I set my King upon my holy Hill of Sion Rule thou in the middest of thine enemies The Lord reigneth let the Earth rejoyce let the multitude of the Isles be glad thereof Yea the Lord reigneth be the people never so impatient He sitteth between the Cherubins be the Earth never so unquiet Great deliverance giveth he unto his King and sheweth mercy to his Anointed to vid and to his Seed for evermore And that which is most considerable their own transcendent unpresidented tyrannical illegal unrighteous violent proceedings against the whole House of Peers the majority of their own secluded ejected old Fellow-Members the City of London and their Common Council their former chief Supporters whom they have now made the scorn and derision of the World by voting down their Common Council and pulling down their Gates Percullises and Posts before any hearing or Judgement and putting higher affronts upon them after all their former Obligations and the late Kings large Privileges granted to them in the Isle of Weight than ever any Kings of England formerly did or durst attempt Their dis-obliging and dis-carding
