A10090	Vnto the most high and mightie prince, his soueraigne lord King Iames. A poore subiect sendeth, a souldiors resolution; humbly to waite vpon his Maiestie In this little booke the godly vertues of our mighty King are specified, with disscription [sic] of our late Queene, (and still renowned) Elizas gouernement: the Pope and papists are in their colours set forth, their purposes laid open, and their hopes dissolued, the happie peace of England is well described, and the long continuance thereof humbly prayed for.	Pricket, Robert.	1603 (1603)	STC 20343; ESTC S115229	27,405	47

they turnd loose vnto a daungerous liberty when in the time of our late Queene the smoath coynd name of indifferent tolleration was alwayes counted in it selfe to hold a threatned desolation to the publik state And frō time to time the Lords and Peeres of England assembled in high court of Parliament did with one consent ioyne with our Soueraigne to enact those lawes and Statutes which alwayes did suppresse the least raisde vppe shewe of an Antichristian head And when they were thus confronted by a Mayden Queene and such course taken during the happy time of a womans gouernment vpon whose Sexe a smal perswation is sayd to worke with an accounted greatest force and yet in all those times they could neuer bring to passe the effecting of the leaste materiall substance vpon the gound whereof their weakest hopes were flattered and yet now a swarme of droanes which desires to liue vpon the spoile of the labouring bees sweete hiue flyes bussing vp and downe and sends a whispering noise vnto the eares of men and tels that now they hope the time of their deliuerance draweth neere and that forsooth they shall be smilde vpon with gracious fauour and their long as they say continued hard restraint shal now be pitied and that their supposed holy but vnhallowed patcht together seamerent sacraments shall be quietly amongst themselues administred for either an alteration which desires freely to feed vpon the foode of blaspemie and fat it selfe with this landes confusion or a tolleration secretly bending it selfe to such like purposes shall now say they assuredly be accomplished But as the mightie God of heauen doth in derision laugh their hopes to scorne so doth the great King Iames Englands God on earth in the priuacie of his meditation smile to see a rablement of trayterous mindes and soule deuouring murtherers expect to reape kinde fauours from his kingly hande but so fare they all as did Agag at the handes of Samuel who came smyling forth in the expectation of his supposed libertie So shall it bee vnto them all my Soueraigne Lorde for my Christian Resolution telles my soule that your Highnes is in the zeale of your faithfull thoughts resolued neuer in the least sort to leane vnto their vilde profession And against the aduersaries of God and of his Christ the sword of iustice cannot take too strict a course that valiant Ioshua the first worthiest Worthy stood alwayes cleared from a tyrants name although his powerfull arme did euer execute a strong austere seuerity vpon the heads harts of them that were the foes to God and to his truth the sword of Ioshua in a glorious battell offered vp a pleasing sacrifice vnto the eye of heauen the sight whereof so pleasd the heauens Creator that he gaue power vnto Ioshuas tonge that by his word he did command the Sunne against the nature of her fiery swiftest course to stand and giue him light till he had slaine his enemies fiue mighty kings he trāpled vnder foot was loath to leaue the smalest remnant of their seed Your Maiestie may still bee mercifull as late our Queene Eliza was and for your labour reape her recompence from those your enemies vnto whome your mercy chiefly doth extend it selfe Her Maiestie was by the Papistes in printed bookes accounted farre more tyrannous then was Dioclesian or that murthering Nero Parsons and Sanders in their trayterous libels did liberally affirme so much And I know a Papist ye aliue in England that did verifie vnto my face that Queen Mary was farre more mercifull vnto the Protestants during her raigne then was Elizabeth vnto the Catholikes what thanks your gratious lenity shall reape from such like minded men Your Maiestie can with best commended wisedom iudge how they affect the right of your succession their Dolmans Booke doth plainly specifie in which with cunning shews strange deriued pedegrees vprearde mountaine-lyes they haue intituled the Infant of Spaine to your inheritance and striued with a diuels inuented policie to dispossesse your Maiestie of your lawfull right this course they tooke before you were their king and since that time as by a truth which my selfe reueald vnto the Lords of your most Honourable Priuie Councell it seemeth that your Englands Papists haue amongst themselues aduentured to calculate the number of your dayes on earth if your Highnes shall deny to graunt one of the two before deseribed dangerous extreams which are either alteration or tolleration in religion so as what loyalty is to be expected frō their hands more then by constraint your Maiesty may directlie iudge And therefore because I know the remnant of these Roman Moabites will be the cōtinuall sowers of seditious seed and dangerous dissturbers of your Englands publike weale I could be contēt to wish for Gods glory my countries good the safty of your royall selfe and security of all your princely progeny that the whole packe of Papists were sent vnto their Holy father the Pope that they euen in his Citty Rome might stand together vnder the safe protection of the Popes abhominable blessing meane while during their stay if so they dare but once beginne to stirre I doubt not but al the argumentes wherewith they finely vse to pleade will bring themselues to bee deuided into fiue seuerall partes which deuision will in England worke Romes dissolution and in time I hope the gates of Rome will all bee ramparde vp so as we shall no more be troubled with his stragling runnagates but that the Pope shall bee enforced to liue within himselfe and onely take the profite that his town allowes his contributary whores can pay him 30. thousand pounds a yeare and no doubt he hath many other such like honest helpes Assuredly the times will shortly come when all the true religious kinges in Christendome will ioyne together and fire his sinke of sin about his eares And thus my soueraigne Lord with further ioyfull hope then is as yet reuealde by mee vnto the vnstaynde beauty of your princely Maiestie my resolution humbly bringes it selfe and though perhaps the Diuell will shortly roare and send abroad his instrumentes to holde his kingdome vppe Yet most puisant and valuorous minded Prince I know your kingly heart being indued as it is with true prowes and perfect fortitude can not endure the operation of timerous effectes but your kingly wisedome will prudently preuent all the occasions whence those monsters are begoten stand fast therefore God frō heauen wil giue vnto your maiestie a powerfull vncontrouled strēgth And by the best cōmended ordinary meanes the better to protect your safety I make no doubt but your highnes shal be continually attended with honorable valiant wise faithfull gentlemen whose loyall harts will carefully defend the safety of your royal person sure I am the subiects of your kingdom generally vnles some few scattered cōpanies of Romā straglers do in their soules reioice that God hath raysde
