and another no less soveraigne holding the stirrup though unfortunately mistaken in the side whilst he mounts up on horsebacke Yea he that should see that Bishop of Rome treading on a great Prince his neck and abuseing that of the Psalmist for the Justification of his usurped Power Super Leonem Aspidem c. Cannot but conclude that Dominus Deus noster Papa as the Canonists stile him will be the supreame Prince of the Christian World and that all other Potentates must limit their Authority and Jurisdiction according to the measure of his placet And now the premises considered that upon the Popes excommunication Kings cease to be such and stand lawfully exposed to all Insolences from their Subjects as hath already appeared I can not but very much wonder that the Romanists should be so angry with Cromwel Bradshaw and the rest that of hellish crue for murthering our late Soveraigne of blessed memory Were they not taught by those Romish Fathers above cited to murther CHARLES STUART and yet not kill the King I dare boldly say that our late Republicarians have not one tenet that is destructive to Civil Government and the Soveraignity of Kings that was not first broached by the Romanists to whom we owe our late confusions Which hath answered the Predictions of Gondamore the Spanish Ambassador who upon his return into Spaine gave out that he had kindled a fire in England which would burst out into a flame forty years afterwards Not to insist upon those severall disguises presented by the Romanists in the late troubles under the habit of all sorts of Mechanicks Artists Soldiers and others so to preach up foment the rebellion with our homebred Sectarians this may suffice to demonstrate how ill consistent their principles are with our English Government and consequently how weakly they acquit themselves of that Calumny they complain of even to admiration But the Apologist hath his other pretences and will clear all objections that may encounter him in his way it will be necessary to take a brief view of them And here first our Author amuseth us with a pretended submission to lawful powers begins then to boast how patiently their party did beare with the proceedings of the present Parliament how they used no tricks and subterfuges to nip their proceedings in the bud this in his expression And I would be glad to know what they could have done more then they did what means he by this nipping in the bud Would he have had another Gunpowder treason To what purpose all this enumeration of our severall Kings Richard I. Edw. Long-shanks Edw. III. and Henry the fift their opinions of their Popish Subjects In the first place it may be said they were not so cleer-sighted as Princes are in these days that the Roman writers were not altogether so insolent plaine and positive against the soveraignity of Kings as now As for the French Kings they did very roundly maintaine their rights and soveraignties haveing been sufficiently tormented by their Popish subjects in the time of the Ligue that what the Jesuites were venting to the prejudice of Kings was by cunning and insinuation writeing one thing and makeing their French Kings believe another as is usual with that kind of People As for the House of Austria they have the greatest dependances upon the Pope imaginable the Pope has a very great tye upon that House for by their incestious marriages authorised by the Popes they make it impossible for them to throw off the Authority of the Pope for should they do so all of that House would prove Bastards And now even in these our dayes the present King of Poland in the life time of his Brother known by the name of Cardinal Casimir did marry his said own Brothers Wife and this was the policy of the Pope with our Henry the VIII in his dispenseing with his marrying his own Brothers Wife that he might have as great a dominion over the Kings of England as of Spaine As for the Authors branding this last Century that what was perpetrated now was never done before as to Mary Queen of Scots and our late Souveraigne I very much wonder at the impudence of the man to mix these two actions The first was done by lawful authority for her being Queen of Scotland did not bereave Queen Elizabeth of her Soveraignity and I have heard it averred by learned and knowing men that the King of Scotland hath sate in an English Parliament in former ages as a Peer of England and then no wonder nor injustice neither that the Queen of Scotland suffered death for her treason against the Queen As for the latter the murther of our late Souveraigne of blessed and glorious Memory the action is without example such and so hainous a thing was never acted upon the Theatre of the World And as I said before so I will againe that the murther of that good King may properly enough be said to be the abominable product of that accursed doctrine of the Popes Infallibility and his Soveraignity over Kings For those accursed Regicides and murtherers of that glorious King did but a little alter the argument For that power which the Romanists lodged in the Pope these wicked miscreants placed in the People They had heard there was a power above Kings and instead of giveing it to the Pope they gave it to the Peoples Representative And so fell this great King to the consternation of the whole World and for a memento to all Kings to awake them out of their Lethargy and be an exhortation to them to vindicate their Supream Authority We do all of us much commend the fidelity of Carlos Whitegrave and the Penderels and Huddlestone and this Author is much mistaken if he think any of us do wish them ill Wee have said enough already to evidence that they effected that glorious and happy action happy I say to all these Nations through some other Instigations then the principles of the Romish Religion They were led thereto certainly by a hand Divine as well as assisted by it They carried English hearts about them at that time But if they will Apostatize t is none of my fault for my part I am well content they be dispensed with as a marke put upon them for their miraculous preserving our good King As for the stigmatized person I must needs say for him that he laboured in the vineyard before the last houre of the day and was very ready both with hand and pen to promote the Interests of the King for his restauration and therfore that word of reproach might will have been left out That wee differ in religion is but too true and we dare as boldly as yourselves appeale to the day of Judgment Something yow say we differ I say very much els why does your Church damn ours But this is not a place either to dispute about Religion or express wherein we vary We are assured our Religion is the
