An Humble ADDRESSE To the Right honourable LORDS and COMMONS Assembled in PARLIAMENT In vindication of Kingly Power and Government against the damnable Positions of Jesuites and Phanatiques desiring they would be pleased to call in the King without dishonourable conditions according to his just rights NOthing in this world can present this sad nation with so pleasant a sight as your Honourable Session in Parliament which giveth a rapture of joy to all Loyal and Religious hearts transporting them with the high contemplation of the inexhaustible Treasure of Divine mercy that God out of the wise conduct of his ever to be admired providence after our great and various Tragick scenes of Governours and Governments acted by the politick Jesuits the great State-mongers in their secret influence on the Counsels of this nation should dispose your much prayed for Convention the delight of our hearts and desire of our souls as the onely expedient left us under God to reedifie the ruined Church and to repair the sad breaches of the decaied State You are the expected Center in which the several lines of different interests meet that after their diverse unhappy motions in you their proper place they may receive rest and perfection you are that benigne Constellation in the sphere of Government by whose propicious influence all things in our lower orbe receive the more refined production of their better being in the conception birth and maturity of our blessed restauration Me thinketh these many years in the sad winter of our afflicted Clymate all things seem to have been void of fire and spirit but your pre ence like a warm spring reviveth our withered expectations and inliveneth our dull bodies with a new soul full of like opperations and after the long Lent of our most low condition we are blessed with an Easter of your meeting which after the death of our hopes giveth a resurrection of our happines which offereth us an argument for ever to magnifie Gods unspeakable goodness and an opportunity to congratulate the prosperous estate of the Kingdom in you our most faithfull Trustees and to speak our thanks that you are pleased to take upon you the trouble to redress our intolerable grievances and to redeem the distressed Nation long groaning under many heavy pressures from high slavery and eminent ruine The best way to prevent it is to find out the first original on which as a prime cause the great complication of our miseries dependeth and truly without any curious disquisition you may perceive it to flow from disobedience to that Authoty which God hath set over us and the grand Error in principles hath proved so fruitful that it hath had many branches springing out of it according to the Phylosophers received maxime in his Physicks 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 one Capital Error begetteth a thousand It is that unhappy dispute which the two Houses had with the King first embroiled the Nation in a Civil war and then involved it in a Labrinth of miseries when blood is once drawn it is very dissicult to stench the flux of it the surviving always being acted with a bitter animosity to revenge the quarrell of their murdred friends each party being ambitious to gain the glory of a conquest and soverainty over others are so much biassed with their own interest of an earthly enjoyment of them●elves as they aim to be Masters of other mens estates and fortunes which giveth a high disturbance to the conquered party who will be always unwilling to sit down with loss of liberty and livelyhood Pray be pleased to use the utmost of your industry in your prudent Counsels to make such a provision for the future to take away all occasions and lay aside such disputes which will inevitably produce a new War which to hinder nothing is so rational as to fix the Government of the Kingdom upon the antient basis which is the means to satisfie all honest interests and as for the other it is as fond as disingenious to gratifie them they being so inconsiderable cannot pretend to merit any bodies esteem I know it is your Christian intention and the peoples great advantage to make a firm and lasting peace which will be crowned with so good a product as the Kingdoms flourishing estate and the con●ec●ation of your blessed memories to posterity Nothing can be more honourable to the Nation and suitable to the genius of the people then the antient established Government which speaketh great Attributes of glory and wisdom to our forefathers who have founded such an admirable fabrick of Polity among us that after ages have rendred themselves no less miserable then contemptible in the alteration of it The late unfortunate revolutions will easily convince the refractory opposers that Monarchy is the best modell of all Polities whatsoever holding a correspondence in some manner with Gods Government all inferiour Creatures as his subjects by a natural impress serving each other in an admirable order Naturals serving the Plants and Plants the Animals and Animals the Rationals and at last Heaven and Earth and all the several orders of Entities out of a principle of Nature reason or religion pay a tribute of obedience and devotion to God their supreme omnipotent Monarch This Loyalty of the Creature is presidentary to men indued with a more sublime principle of Reason and united in a common society are oblieged to be subservient to each other in their superiour or inferiour degrees of subjection or command to promote the common wellfare and most conscientiously to perform all service and duty to the King by his lawful inheritance and Gods divine institution their supreme governor And as more naturals that Elements ought of a universal dictate move upwards and downwards contrary to their particular inclinations in silling up a vacuum to serve the common good of the universe and to keep inviolable the law of the Creator I wish none placed in a sphere above them being courted by their example would be so farre elevated above their private concerns and endeavour though contrary to their self advantages by all means possible to advance the publike good in their regular subordination to the King the supreme Governour of the Nation And therefore I desire you would nighly di●countenance that base Jesuiticall principle a fundamental
