of Nations untill it be ratified forsooth by an Occumenicall Parliament But only the particular Contract confideracy and Agreement betwixt his the Embassadours Master and that Prince or State unto whom he is sent that can protect and defend him Then we must bid farewell to that of Livius generally approved by Polititians concerning the Embassadours of King Tarquinius inviolable with the Romans by the Law of Nations even when they were upon designes and practises against that State having corrupted many of their young Nobility against them Quanquam visisunt Legati comisisse ut hostium loco essent jus tamen Gentium valuit The instance of King John who was also Duke of Normandy I must still laugh at For M. Challenor and his Defenders take hold of the resolution of the Lawyers in France This peradventure might have seemed somwhat against the Scotch Papers If M. Challenor had not told withall what the State of England at that time pleaded against the State of France The English pleaded that although the Duke of Normandy be a Subject of France yet the French ought not so much as dispose of the person of that Subject of theirs because in so doing they should dispose of the person of the King of England which they held to be a great indignity to the Kingdome of England just so do our Brethren of Scotland plead I am now but stating matter of Fact that it were an indignity to that free Kingdom if the Parliament here should singly and without the advice and consent of the Parliament of Scotland dispose of the person of this Individuall King of England because in so doing they should dispose of the person of the King of Scotland If M. Challenor will say that in the debate about King John the French were in the right and the English in the wrong let him speake out I have another Answer for him But if he hold that the English were in the right against the French Then how will he make the very same Argument in point of right or wrong to be good in the mouthes of the English and bad in the mouthes of the Scotch Whereas I touched as to the mutuall interest of two Kingdoms and in reference to that resolution of the Lawyers in France concerning the Duke of Normandy the vast disproportion between him who is a King of one Kingdome and Subject of another and him who is King of more Kingdoms then one this is yeelded to me But withall I am told that I am out in another kind For there is also a vast disproportion between a King of two Kingdomes ruling in peace and Justice and one who hath been in war against his Kingdomes Now see him that makes this Objection here put out by himselfe For I shall only answer him in his own words the debate is not come so far yet as to question how the Kings Person shall be disposed of but by whom If the question were how to dispose of him I admit that disproportion which is objected But it is neither here nor there when the debate is by whom by both Kingdomes or by England singly The Close of the indifferent censure saith That the effects of the Kings shelter in the Scotch Army have been already very sad as by Jealousies here to keepe so many Armies at a needlesse charge and hinder the reliefe of poore Ireland But sith the effect could not be without the Cause say truth now Whether had the Armies been yet kept up although his Majesty had come to London when he went to the Scotch Army If they had and you Sir know they had then you dealt not fairely nor faithfully in this Observation However if you will let the King and the Scotch be put to it and offer made that the Parliaments Army in this Kingdome shall be forthwith disbanded or sent into Ireland upon his Majesties returning to his great Councell the Parliament and upon our Brethrens rendring of the Garrisons and marching away with their Army See whether upon such an offer or assurance his Majesty will not give a satisfactory Answer to the Propositions of peace and he returne to London and our Brethren home againe and then the Author of the Pamphlet who begins to doubt whether Newcastle be in Scotland for I never heard it doubted by another will be soone put out of doubt or if he will he may desire to have it presently resolved upon the Question that Newcastle is in England I have yet somewhat to add concerning that Pamphlet which ends with the bleating of sheepish Logick but begins in the Title page with a pretence to answer all moderate men T is well that he makes not himselfe 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 but 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 yet as violent and injurious as he is he hath said more for me then against me If there be any thing materiall in him it is already touched I shall only take hold of his acknowledgments I had said that M. Challoners Speech without Doores presented him Goliah-like coming forth for the Parliament but stumbling wofully My Replier tells me that God did not permit me in this to lye I thanke him for his observation Hee acknowledgeth pag. 3. That the Scots are bound to maintain the Kings person if the Parliament should wrong his person And is not Mr. Challoners Speech here well defended much good may this defence doe him Amongst other inferences I had drawn this from Mr. Challenors Speech That the person of the King of England if he were in Scotland must be disposed of by the Supreame power of that Country without the advice and consent of the Parliament of England which I presume was far from M. Challenors meaning to admit for speaking of the Scots he said I conceive they will not take upon them any Authority to dispose of the Person of a King of England yet my inference is yeelded by the Replier in M. Challenors name who also in the Close saith That if the Scots shall get the King into Scotland as they have no right in him in England we could pertaine as little to him he being in Scotland My Inference is also confessed to be true by the Author of the largest Pamphlet pag. 4. And who is the Malignant now he that maintaines or they that yeeld up the Priviledge of Parliament and interest of England No man can be said to be Rex but in Regno said M. Challenor Then by just Analogy said I The Parliament of England cannot be acknowledged a Parliament but in England only The Replyer tells me that M. Challenor only denyeth a forraign King the Title of that Country he shall happen to come unto and not the Title of his owne that he brought with him And that although in England we would not admit of Marie as Queene of England yet was she acknowledged Queene of Scotch at her being here I confesse this is more then had been acknowledged in Scotland if she had been there at that time But however I do not see how it agreeth with M. Challoners Speech without doores admitting of no regality in the person of a King of Scotland coming into England before the Union and affirming that he must be taken as a Subject not as a King and I know as little who have ever affirmed or were to be contradicted for affirming That the King of one Kingdome coming by some accident into another Kingdome doth thereby become King of that Kingdome which he happeneth to come into But to passe that I shall be glad to have this riddle opened how these two things which the Replier holds in Mr. Challenors name can hang together that a King of England being in Scotland doth not lose his interest in England but is still King of England and yet his Subjects of England during his being in Scotland doe not pertain to him but lose their interest and right in him I shall at last observe that one part of the Speech without doores is disclaimed peradventure it shall fare so with other parts of it T is alledged that the Gentleman said not that England is as distinct in Interests from Scotland as Spaine but that England is as distinct a Kingdome from Scotland as Spaine Yet I find in that part of the Speech the words as distinst repeated and referred not to the Kingdomes but to Lawes Priviledges Interests It was this latter clause which I animadverted but since he passeth from it so doe I And now to conclude I acknowledge one Error in my Animadversions which none of the three Repliers have Animadverted and that was the putting of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 for 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 by the Printers mistake I am not yet convinced by my Antagonists and if I had been as apt to take fire as they were to give it my discourse had broken forth in a hot flame But I intend not oleum camino What ever some men drive at I trust the honourable Houses and all true hearted English-men and none more then my selfe shall endeavour the preservation of Union between the Kingdomes together with a sincere constant and reall pursuance of all the other ends expressed in the solemne League and Covenant FINIS Printed in the Yeare 1646.
