Eliz. of happy memory and that second Solomon of his time K. Iames by Preists and Jesuires and Papists may make the Protestants take perpetuall heede and diligent care of that faction to suppresse them in time before they get to strong a party in this Kingdom for nought else is their ends of their endeavoures but slaughter blood and destruction The bleeding condition the Realme and Kingdome of Ireland now stands in is knowne to all men and can it be otherwise expected but the same will befall England if these divisions continue and no reconciliation be made betweene King and People It is now time for every member of this greate body pollitique to set to his helping hand use his best witts and pollicie to compose these distempers do not these Malignants begin to use the same cruelty in those places of the Kingdom where they obtaine the Predommence as the Popish Rebells do in Ireland the late example of them at Cicester may be a warning peece to the other parts of the Kingdome to stand upon their own defence and not give the least way to their adversaries it is better to die then to live in perpetuall slavery till such time as an honourable and safe Peace may be treated and concluded Let therefore all men that have any care of Religion or of the ther posterity endeavour with his Life and Estate to prevent the destruction of both for if one that is religio● be corrupted or destroyed needs must the other be ruinated for where that is not respected fraud and oppression must needs be the let and portion of the other And I concieve that Peace cannot be effected by divers oppinionate persons severall Sects and factions can never make one entire and safe Government there must be an uniformity in Religion Ecclesiasticall Government and Discipline and in civill Constitutions one entire Government is sufest though many and divers Lawes and Ordnances may be admitted in the Government of a State and Common wealth yet must they all hang and have both de●i●ation and dependence upon the Common received and used Fundamentall Lawes of this Realme And to chang such a Government cānot be without destruction and confusion to the same yet is the whole State not bound for perpetuity to observe the ancient laws without linutation or restriction but as the eversity of times alter and change the State in its intire body representative in Parliament may according to the wisdome and present pollicie of the same change or alter Governmeet for the weale and publicke good thereof And thus much shall suffice for a short inducemēt to all w●ll ●ffected Christians to study and endeavour a speedy Peace and I shall as in duty I am bound to God my King and Country pray That the Lord Almighty who is the Father or Peace and his only Sonne the Prince of Peace and the holy Spirit the spirit of Peace would be pleased to put an end to this unnaturall differences and graut Peace in this Israell that every one it Peace and quietnesse may injoy the fruits of his labour to himselfe and Posterity FJNJS
