King 7. Answer The King of Denmarke being in league with England comes into England His Office Scepter Sword and all his whole power remaines still in Denmarke though his Person be here he is King of Denmarke but a Subject of England but this poynt hath been sufficiently cleared already to those that are reasonable men And for the power of the King in Abstracte and the man in Concreto Lex Rex is large upon it in his 29. Question 8. The next thing the Rejoynder falles upon is about Commissioners of Parliament sent to another State who he saith are exempt from the Lawes and Iurisdiction of that State where they are Commissioners and all his reason is that he will acknowledge them neither Princes nor private men 8. Answer All the world may see that this is meere Sophistrie and that he useth these querkes and insinuations to traduce the people Have Commissioners no rule to be ordered by in another State then they are Princes absolute have they a Rule then they are not exempt from that Rule Is not this a wise Statesman to write in vindication of the Parliament 9. He still denyes that Prince Charles is at the sole dispose of the State of France and affirmeth that it is like Treason to say that the Parliament cannot by their lawfull Authority recall him 9. Answer The Rejoynder might tell us how and by what Law the Parliament can controule the State of France in demanding the Prince The Parliament is very sensible of the ill consequence of his being there and would fain have him in England again And shall this Gentleman accuse the Parliament that they have a power to recall him and do not and yet pretend to write in the vindication of the honour of the Parliament I appeale to all Lawyers and Statesmen to judge if this be not false and scandalous As for the instances of that King in England as also of Embassadors because he waves it as being somthing convinced I shall not reply to those things For that of Livius concerning the Embassadors of King Tarquinus and so of actions of States de facto no wise man will stumble at it that hath his eyes fixed on what is de jure for so the case is argued 10. From Mr. Chalenors words of the Lawyers in England concerning King John if they should have yeelded to the French they knew well enough what would become of the King of England The Rejoynder argues that in like manner if the Parliament of England should justly dispose of our King they should in so doing dispose of the King of Scotland Ans. Had King John been personally in Normandy the King of France would not probably have sent into England about it But hee was freed from that power by his personall being in England The person of the king of England is in England Is this for the honour of the Parliament to give them no more relation to their Kings person in England then a King of France hath 11. He moves for some overtures as the King to come to London the Scots to goe home and the Parliaments Army to bee disbanded or sent into Ireland 11. Answer The Parliament out of their great desire to have the king to come and remain with them sent to his Majesty propositions from both Kingdomes and agreed for their pay and marching home But for the disbanding of the Parliaments Army that must be left to the wisdome of the Parliament For so the Law say wise men and the Law Argu. l.

And for that Argument which he would have disputed Whether the Scots are bound to maintain the Kings person if the Parlement should wrong his person I conceive it needlesse to argue it there being no feare of any such danger 12. Answer But do such Positions tend to the vindication of the Parliment If this Rejoynder be not an Incendiary I know none Yet give me leave in this to vindicate our brethren who have declared as followeth Declared by the Generall Assembly of Scotland Capitulations and Protections howsoever accoun●ed of by those who walk after the wisdom of the flesh are destructive to our Covenant almost in all the Heads and Articles thereof They tend unto the corrupting of Religion in this Land and obstructing the Worke of Reformation in England unto the countenancing and strengthening of the Popish and Prelaticall party unto the subversion of the due Rights and Priviledges of the parliaments and diminishing of his Majesties just greatnesse and authority unto the withdrawing of Incendiaries and Malignants from condigne punishment unto the overthrow of the Union betwixt the Kingdomes unto the deserting of our Brethren folloing of divisive motions and denying to hazard or susser the losse either of lives or estates in the defence of the Cause and them that adhere there unto We see not any strength of reason in that seeming necessity unto which many pretend themselves to have been redacted If men could not have retired from the fury and violence of the Enemy or had not some probable way of resistance and defence against the same they should have taken it as an evidence of the will of God calling them to suffer and give a testimony unto his Truth Our Covenant doth no lesse oblige us to suffering then to doing and it is the ignorance or ineff●ctual consideration of our duty that makes us thus to wipe our mouths as if we had done nothing worthy of rebuke N●ither yet doth it excuse that some were not active to obtain Pro●ections the receving of them was to prostitute the chastity of that affection which we owe unto the Cause of God and could be no better then a bribe that blinds the eyes of the wife and hinders from doing judgment unto the afflicted The deep apprehension of their souls danger moves us seriously and in the bowels of Jesus Christ to intreat all Temporizers and Back-sliders to remember whence they are fallen and to repent Let it not be a light thing unto such that they have despised the Oath of God undervalued the pretious Truth of the Gospel and drawn upon themselves the guilt of their Brethrens blood by forsaking them in their just defence If the due sense of their sin shall bring them to lament after the Lord they may hope to finde him gracious and mercifull to forgive their iniquity and heal their back-slidings But if they shall
