given the swaying of the great affaires of your Kingdome to private and inferiour persons who have brought forth instead of Noble and Righteous Lawes a brood of low jugling tricks a rabble of Monopolies Pattents and such brats True thou hast exactly served thy personal relations a loving Husband a tender Father a constant Friend but hast been short in thy Office as a Prince the greatnesse of a KINGS heart hath been shrunke up and withered into the nature of a private man And thy private and Domesticall state hath drowned thy Publike and Royall As thou hast been defective in love and faithfullnesse so in sufficiency and ability of a Head Thou hast not dwelt with her as a man of knoweldge There hath been in the Nation many high and strong workings of spirit towards a greater perfection in Religion and Justice which though mingled with many unholsome vaporus and clog'd with great weaknesse might by an able head have been digested the evill being purged out into good spirits advantagious for the further grouth and increase of the body These are spilt and for want of wisdome to manage them the Kingdome spilt with them This Nation was of a fruitfull and teeming constitution apt to bring forth gallant and noble increase of light knowledge government great improvement in vertue which you in weaknesse of fear and jealousy laboured to stifle and in a superstitious opinion of former times confine this age to their example And being shy and not understanding the waies of God have left the body to her self or to other persons whence ariseth this hideous and misshapen birth in Church and Common wealth This universall disorder and confusion which the wisdome only of the Head and Father of the family can or could prevent I le but adde this one When thou hadst provoaked thy Parliament into a distemper by thy mis-government and estrangeing thy self from her then un-naturally un-Kingly irrationally un-christianly to forsake her betake your selfe to force an act so full of folly revenge so unbelieving so unlike God as along time durst not look up would not bee confest This cropt the sweet flower of Englands peace broke that great vein from whence such streames of bloud have flowed In sum The majesty justice mercy and goodnes of the great God hath not been held forth in thy Government but hid and buried in thee their appearing visibly in thee nothing but the weaknes inconstancy injustice and oppression of vile man Your evils have been great and so are your Judgements you are fallen into a deep pit of misery the chief offender and the chief sufferer great now in nothing but in losse and affliction You have slain the Kingly glory or the true glory of a King and therefore your Authority and dominion must needs die you have laboured to save an earthly greatnesse against Heavens displeasure the onely way to have it ruin'd to expose it to a multitude of stroakes of warth You have divided your self from your People your Parliament and so they become of a help a plague to you and are by others rent and detained from you You Idolized your Wife and friends and are therefore seperated from them Blasted and accursed in all your attempts Your Kingdome is full of miseries and you the Center of them all and must bear in all and for all Become the shame of the World by horrid confusion and distraction Deprived of all power of dominion Thy Revenue and dignity shared by others The majesty of thy Government like a Potters vessell dasht in peeces into Committees c. Thy Mame wounded yea buried under foul and black oblique become the scorne of Pampletters Thy Prerogatives and the highest priviledges of the Crown banded and tossed about the Kingdome in the mouthes and hands of common men When thou hadst left the Lord thy stabillity see what a race of misery thou hast run When thou didst leave the Parliament and wentest into the North Thy Sun set and another rose in England From that time its a dark night with majesty Kinglinesse is laid upon a sick bed and those Nobles gentlemen like blazing torches attending upon you All your waies then were weak faint sick-snatches at a Crown unnaturall and violent striving after a fading glory while your Kingdome lay wallowing in its own bloud At last the Lamp wants Oyle and Majesty dies and gives up the Ghost when you left your Regalia your Seal Crown Councel c. at Oxford now you indeed put of the state of a King and in the condition of a private person wander as a spirit in the Ayre till at last found in the North Apud inferos thrown amongst those leane hungry hagges the Scots who greedily devour this sweet morsel a King and in their ambitious and covetous lusts prey upon him Forced amongst those that he had little before proclaimed traytors and enemies to his Crown and dignity and were devils in his thoughts to him heer he is for a while tormented mockt with the title of a King but indeed a Captive nipt scurged and lasht with their rebukes tempted to blaspheme God in his own Royaltlty and at last valued at lesse then his quoin sold for mony into another hell He is resigned up into other hands Commissioners of the Parliament where he is again to be squeesd and wrackt by Propositions to give up the heart of Regall power ground tween the Milsiones of both Nations not admitted to come to his Parliament but Holdenby thrust into a corner while others frolick in his Dominion Now hurried into another hell snatched out of this as too honorable and taken away by agitators and common souldiers They must have their turn to vex this peece of misery They that had often chased him pursued him with death he must be their prey and be carried about as Army baggage They now will have the moulding of him and will cut out a new garnent of Royalty to cover his nakedness But t is shrunk in the making and they have disposed of the cloth to their own turnes Poor wretch frighted from hence by a new and strange fiend to Regallity Levellers and after another Pilgrimage he arrives at the Isle of Wight where he is again Imprisoned Labouring to please his masters studying how to content all parties and seeking favour and relief of all not forbearing being in great torment to ask the Levellers a drop of water to coole his tongue At last the pit shuts her mouth upon him in the Parliaments Votes to make no more addresses to him which is confirmed by the power of the Army and so forever rejected as an abominable thing never to be medled with Chap. V. Shewing the Parliaments errors WHen the King had involved himselfe in difficulties and weary of toyling to extaicate himselfe hee seeks at length to lay down his head in the lap of the Parliament and to seek help of his owne Spouse to compose the disorders of his Family And the
the mutuall health and welfare of each other The KING it he could ruine the Parliament should but destroy his own body himself in another his own flesh and the Parliament in destroying the KING destroy themselves in their head The Parliament have conquered the King but have gotten onely this by it to be a confused head-lesse heap and put off their naturall head to put on another to be headed by an Army a faction and if the King should doe as much and conquer the Parliament he would be unhappy in it and he would be the head not of a body but a confused rabble not a King indeed but a friend his party would Levell with him and expect to be Kings with him he would be in as great a confusion without a Parliament as the Parliament without the King As they are broken divided set in enmity and malignancy one against another so are the parts disordered The head the King laid in the bottom the Parliament upon him the Army hath been and when occasion serves can be uppermost The Kingdome stands upon his head The Parliament came forth of the King and Army forth of Parliament now the King can't come forth but it must bee from the Parliament as the Parliament comes forth of the Army Divided and subdivided broken into King and Parliament Parliament and Army Army and City City and Parliament England and Scotland Scotland their divisions Ireland divided from both and subdivided amongst themselves But the destroyer hath most shewed his cunning in our divisions so perfectly and artificially are we intangled and perplext in distractions as there is no escaping The KINGS party divided and some fallen in with the Scotch and Presbyterian which they perfectly hate and yet are joyned to them Others rather chuse to sit stil or have better love to the Independent interest ther 's another conjunction in dislike dis-junction The Parliament is divided some look back to the KING others had rather stand against him both jealous of him yet forced to looke towards him The Presbyterian joyning part to the Cavaliers and part to the Independent and both hating those they joyne too The City falling to peeces too Thus doth God shake the Nations jumbles their principles together scatters them as dried bones that none knows whether to go to joyne The King is shut up in his pit in his prison under the Army and Parliament he must make his way through their blood to come to the Crown and when he hath done that he must again ruine those by whom he riseth the Scots and when he hath done that he is yet but miserable and is worse then where he is The Parliament must goe through the Kings party to their end by the Army and when they have done that they must ruine the Army and Independent intolerable to them and then they arrive but at confusion The Army must destroy the Kings party first and then the Parliament and at last it gains nothing but to be a wretched nothing The City must ruine the Kings party or else wo be to them and the Independent too or else they can have no settlement and then the Parliament and they may have leasure to fight alone Hambletons Scots have the English Nation wholly to destroy before they can come to his end both Army Parliament and KING and their own Nation at home And what then Then there will be roome to fight with the Irish so that wee are involved in destruction shut up under severall locks and bolts and to get out of one is but to be out of a lesse into a greater or larger hell Therefore its impossible to recover your selves by force you may wrastle and tug with your fates and weary your selves with toyling but by all you will but sink your selves deeper and by your false hipocritical and unnaturall conjunctions of heterogeneous bodies make new matter of difference and increase your own misery Neither can a Treaty compose you in the condition in which you are you are in death and under the curse and all your actions are and shall be accursed The Nation is not only broken but as dried bones have lost their marrow of Vnion their spirit of Love it hath neither flesh of softnesse and gentlenesse nor sinews of agreement Neither doth there appeare that wisdome and skill to binde up these breaches King lost disabled Nobles scattered weake inconsiderable things Commons distracted hurried after their vaine imaginations Of all the sonnes that the kingdome hath brought forth there is none to guide her to take her by the hand to lead her out of this pit The end of Treating at best is but to settle the Kingdome in its former worldly estate T is looking back to Aegypt we are in the wildernesse and must on to Canaan It were woefull if wee should lose the fruit of all our blood and misery that we have suffered and only be where we were which will quickly fall back into the condition we are now in No the Divine purpose is of some higher favour to us and short of it we must not sit down Besides This Treaty is not voluntary but forced not open and plaine but false each seeking to catch advantages and in darknesse and jealousie fearfull and unblieving which will blast them sin and iniquity unpardoned the wrath of God still flaming against the Nation unquenchable by all the art of man that will render all humane attempts vaine and fruitlesse Heer lies England as Sodom burning in the displeasure of God in Civil bloody warres in madnesse and folly The Majesty and honour of the Mation confounded and lost in the KING the liberty and justice of it in the Parliament the power and might of it in the Armies the religion and truth of it in the Church the wealth and trade in the City the fruits of the earth by warre and unseasonable weather and ALL in the losse of Gods favour Heer is the Kings curses of his people and imprecations of judgements upon themselves and families brought forth to the life That mad party that cry Dam me and Ram me that drink healths to the confusion of the Parliament t is done you live to see it The other side that have Covenanted the exterpation of Episcopacy root and branch t is finished fully The Parliament and the KING their root or the Laws of the Land out of which they grew the Nation her self the Church all rooted out And all sects and schismes Presbytery it self for one pul'd up by the rootes Your fears have brought forth the thing you feard is upon you The removing of the Candlestick the losse of the Gospell The whole Kingdome is left in Hideous darknesse And the glory of it is gon from you That persecution feared by Independents is come Satan the destroyer is upon you wasting killing imprisoning all true glory light righteousnesse peace And the answer of your many prayers for destruction upon the enemies of Christ your selves and
the whole Nation in all parts of it are found fighters against Christ and for it are destroyed You have all been bigge with this misery it hath been within you declared it self in your several formes of cursings and because you lov'd it it s come upon you as a girdle about your loynes it cleaves fast to you Thy Sores are opened from head to foot and lanc'd to let out the filth corruption and if you suffer it to come forth you will immediately finde ease He that confesseth his sinnes and forsaketh findeth mercy If you would you cannot hide them all your reasons pleading your good intentions the clearnes of your consciences can't justify you Here 's one greater then your consciences a sentence so Authoratative as will not be resisted Neither can you by cunning or force escape out of this prison not the stoutest of you not your friends Armies multitudes none can help you Kings are bound in chaines of Iron and Nobles in fetters Such honour have all the Saints Chap. XI Shewing the method of God in curing the Nation viz First to take our sin upon himself T IS written in your hearts and spoken in your mouths That none can save us but God T is the happinesse of the extremity of our misery that wee are past the wisdome and strength of man and so fall onely and immediatly upon the mercy and goodnesse of God Cease from man Behold your LORD The LORD is our Judge The LORD is our Law giver The LORD is our KING Hee will save us He that hath opened hell and death to let you in can and will open it to let you out He hath the Keyes and opens and none shuts and shuts and none opens All this sin and wrath was in us in our best estate though it appeared not t is good t is broken forth t is in order to perfect health our recovery was designed in it and the foundation of a mighty salvation is laid in these deep miseries The method of our cure must be this First to take away sin and curse so long as they lye at the doore there is no passage for mercy to come in or man to go out Now the only way to do this is to lay them upon one that can beare them The LORD Himself they have lain upon the Nation and sunk it utterly destroyed it But now wee see there is one will beare Englands sinnes and the sin and curse of the whole world and there we must charge them yea The LORD charges himself and saies Is there any evill in the City that I have not done Why hast thou caused us to Erre from thy waies Thou hast blinded us that we might not see and hardened our hearts that we might not understand T is thou that hast mingled a perverse spirit amongst our Princes that hast given the Nation the wine of astonishment to drinke The cup of thy wrath that they may Erre in judgement that they may stagger and reel vomit up their own filth and fall and not rise againe And in all this thou hast been just There hath been two great evils amongst us our being divided from God and amongst our selves and this the LORD hath done especially in the great divisions of King and Parliament The day dawning after this dark night of sorrow we can say of England GOD is in thee and none else In these clouds is the Lord and nothing but the Lord Here is God in the lower parts of the earth and the earth shall disclose her blood and no longer cover her slain Verily God is in this place and we knew it not Thou hast alwaies dwelt in the Majesty and greatnesse of the King It is thou that hast Reigned in him But verily thou art a God that hidest thy self under vanity and a lye under a poore sinfull unstable weake creature in a crawling worme thou art there covered with corruption falshood wilfulnesse made sin cloathed with filthy garments so vailed under a thick covering that he himself knew thee not had he known thee he would not have denied thee and crucified the Lord of glory he did it ignorantly thou didst not come forth nor act out thy selfe in thy own brightnesse and power but didst retyre withdraw thy self and lye down in weaknesse and so liv'd in sinfull flesh Thou wert in him dwelling in such thick darknesse in such stormes and tempests of wrath in such a thick mist fog of wicked men lying down there in such a hel of a Dam me crue that his own body did not know thee there His People Rebelled against him and thee when dressed in this deformed shape Thou wert in him raysing up his heart into an absolutenesse and greatnesse T is thou that say dest in him I am alone and there is none besides me I le doe what I will and none shall resist it Thou wert there most Righteously and accoding to thy nature gathering up all thy glory into thy self keeping thy self incommunicable minding only thy selfe and thy owne Majesty and rejecting all things else refusing to stoop to any thing that is mean or below thy selfe disdaining that any should excell but thy self magnifying thy selfe and being confident of thy own sufficiency This now we see darkly shadowing out it self in the Kings Prerogatives Now we see it is Thee The LORD that in his leaving his Parliament leavest thy own Son thy own spouse because she is unclean because she was filthy and poluted This is righteous in God to leave a diseased body labouring under the guilt of the Nations sin to give her up to be tormented to be left desolate for her iniquities In the Kings flying from his Councell to strength Wee now see Divine jealousy that is impatient of having his Majesty sullied and stained by common hands The indignation of the Lord of hosts hurried the King away in violence and taught him to begirt himselfe with power to uphold Royalty yea rather to bury it in the earth then that another should wear the Crown It is the Lord that stiffens and hardens the spirit of the King against all Propositions that may lessen his Greatnesse here God saies My glory will I not give unto another To retain golden Royalty in the flames to be a King still while hated opposed denied Is the Divine Spirit When it is most opposed to contend for it This the Lord doth In the Kings dark and unknown waies in his secret practises We now see Our LORDS obscuring himselfe when fleshly man would finde him out to prey upon him when wicked and rebellious man would rob him of his glory he mists himself in the privacy of darknesse hee hath a long while concealed himself in the midst of us and so kept himself from the world who have alwaies been in pursuite of him because he sees they are not fit to injoy him This is the Lords doing in the darknesse of man the Highest Majesty of God under the shamfull vilenesses of man
contempt cast upon KING or Parliament upon one side or other is flung at Christ and he that opprosseth poor England in her miseries or addes one dram of sorrowes more reproacheth his maker Yea If thou doest mock poor King Charles poor Parliament poor Cavaliers or poor Round-heads thou reproachest God in all these if thou doest goe one foot farther It is to make long furrows upon the back of Christ If men or devils should bee obdurate our God is now tender will not still go on to smite his own flesh and blood As God died so are we dead with him England is dead and all her glory greatnesse and justice is slain We departing from God who is our life cannot live and 't is well wee can't live in Gods absence If we could have saved this life we had lost it and losing it we save it For if we had kept it we had kept it against God and now it 's dead it dyes into God It returnes to him from whence it came dying with Christ being offered up by this Priest-hood it goes with Christ dead with him and he saies I go to my Father so that we are fallen indeed into God and there is nothing now but God This is our peace by this the wall of partition 'twixt God and us is broken down and of twain made one new man destroying the enmity that honour power dominion that stood at enmity against God is abolisht slaine in the slaying the earthly creature That which could not endure GOD is brought downe and wee are hereby brought into God By death is destroyed him that had the power of death the Devill his power and interest in the Nation is utterly destroyed his kingdome of darknesse and wrath is broken downe he is cast out and shall no longer destroy the Earth nor deceive the Nation into these mad fightings one against another it is now taken from him that ruled with cruelty envy wrath folly and given to Christ who will Reign in Peace and Righteousnesse in Mercy and Goodnesse And as there is a Union wrought by this death betwixt God and the Kingdome so betwixt KING and Parliament betwen all parties and of two or many we by death are made one man as truly united as head and body as a man to himself And all Ordinances Covenants c. are abolisht Prerogative Kinglinesse is slain lyes in the dust no KING a Prisoner a Captive no Parliament a Rout a Scuffle a confused heap What can you demand of the King He hath nothing to give you mock your selves and him Why are you jealous of him He can't do good or hurt Why do you labour to save your selves from his power or revenge fear a dead power Do you think he shal returne from the grave to vex you Alas it is not he but Devils that trouble you you need not fortify your Parliament with a Militia with Acts against a dead power Or Why should the King contend for a dead Crowne or the People raise Authority from the dust How foolish and vaine are the attempts of his party Being dead on both sides in the grave Heer the wicked cease from troubling The weary Be at rest The prisoners rest together they hear not the voyce of the oppressor The small and great are heer the servant is free from his Master How is it that you vex one another It 's a hel sure and you are Devils one to another Is not the grave enough to swallow up enmity Why should the Parliament insist upon Covenants Promises Ingagements Or the King upon his Honour Prerogative Friends The Law hath power over a man so long as he lived no longer There is no bands now upon you neither party can require any thing of you You have stood it out for your principles for your parties Cavaliers for KING Rounds-heads for Parliament till you and they are all lost together All your engagements for and against each other are taken away Law is slain right property righteousnesse and truth hath forsaken the Earth it is in neither side you may lye stil and be at peace for all is dead for which you contend There doth nothing live but shame sorrow folly and madnesse and that is dead too in your death The King is dead his Majesty is slain crucified and lies in the bowels of the earth that is in his Parliament and People he is descended into us dyed into the Kingdome And hence it is that Parliament men Committee men Army City and Citizens are all become petty Kings Kinglinesse being sow'd in the earth And so though we have lost our King yet we have him in us The King is dead and our life of Majesty our Kingdome died with him we cease to be a Kingdome when our head ceased to rule and are become a herd of wilde Beasts He took us all into himself and so made a rich Sacrifice of al the glory of the Kingdome in one He dyes for us they are our iniquities that denies us the blessing of government we have the benefit of his suffering it is for us By this he comes down into the meanest subject into the worst condition of a subject bonds hee empties himself into us and fills us with Royalty and gives the lowest to have fellowship with the highest by his descending from the Throne into the Prison and his ascending from the Prison to the Throne there is an open way and passage from misery to greatnesse by this the poorest creature in England shal have accesse to the Throne for mercy and justice And the KING shal acknowledge this is my fellow subject my fellow prisoner I am and was as low as meane as he This shall fill punishments with grace and make paines and judgements acceptable from a Prince that is a Brother a fellow-sufferer This is that which onely can fit a KING for Reigning to goe by the Crosse to suffer first by which trialls and temptations he is for ever able to pitty such as are tempted and doe suffer The Parliament is dead also cannot will not out-live the KING puts off her glory with the Kings and sits downe in the dust dyes into the King as the King into the Parliament goes down into his grave follows him and there lyes wrapt up in him the life union and Majesty of the Parliament and as the King arises out of the Parliament so the Parliament out of and with the King The Parliament dyes for the People so constantly adheres to the Peoples rights that She perisheth in the obtaining of them and because She cannot by life She doth and wil by death free us The Cause that She undertook though sensibly be lost yet by her shamfull suffering is confirmed and a Testimony of blood given to a work of Reformation which is more effectual then twenty Bills And so our Parliament doth us most right not being able to help us to lye downe and bear our curse her self She dyes into the Army gives up
seven times have passed over you you shal returne to your Throne and true Majesty shall be given to you and your Nobles and Kingdomes shall honour you all shall freely bow to you and you shall command and Reign againe to the terrour of your adversaries and joy of your friends now the prison doors stand open to you and you shall returne to your Royall Parliament and City after seaven yeares banishment We have now a King in whom we can confide as in God now the LORD lives in him t is impiety and wickednesse to have a thought of distrust concerning him the sure justice and righteousnesse of God inhabits in the Throne as its proper place We have a King according to our own hearts hee lives in our hearts arises out of our hearts and our hearts give him his dominion hee hath all we have and hath not too much because he hath us too and nothing but what we freely give one higher by the head then all the People having the wisdome of the whole in him of the largest understanding and therefore King because he doth in true worth excell any in the Nation and is of all men fittest to reign fitted by his great suffering and Gods fulnesse dwelling in him This is the QVEENS interest she may return to the King there is no fear now she cannot hurt either Parliament or Religion both being in such a condition as cannot be hurt besides living in this light of all she shall most love the Parliament it being the same with her self the Kings Consort and she being the same with it concurring together in severall wayes to help and honour the King if she should attempt any thing against it it would be against the King and her self The Parliament administring about the affairs of the kingdom that the King may enjoy his Queen and Family with greatest plenty honour ease and pleasure and the Queen administring in the domesticall affairs of the King about his Person that the king may enjoy his Parliament and people in greatest content and freedom The Parliament in businesse of State a Queen lying in the bosome of the king and the Queen in private and personall affairs a Parliament and so Parliament and Queen interested joynd in one interest And for her religion we are now so far from being afraid of it that we rejoyce in it and in her great interest in the Papacie For as the Papists had by her designs upon us so now the streame being turned we shall by her design upon them and over-runne the whole Papacie with light and truth she shall be the doore by which we shall enter into all the riches and honours of the Papacie and without injury to them we shal spoyle them of all their glory or rather bring a glorious fire amongst them that shall out-shine theirs and burn up theirs into it self The PRINCE his Interest is here satisfied he is indeed one with the Parliament they he are brethren descended both from the loyns of the king and are one in various forms each being the glory of the king the staffe of his age Christened at the same Font the Spirit of Christ both the hope and joy of England both being the glory of the King propagated unto eternity a never failing off-spring and flourishing in the vigour and youthfulnesse of the Son of God both interested into Christ or the interest of Christ and so of each other The LORDS who have lost their Nobility sunck in disgrace scattered and almost buried in dishonour by this shall be restored not to airy empty Titles but to true Nobility The Lord doth appear Lord of Lords your Lord owning Lordlinesse and filling of it with himself as well as king of kings and as he sets a Crown of pure gold upon the head of the King so Coronets of pure Gold upon yours you shall shine as stars in this Firmament in wisdome holinesse justice and goodnesse and be in affinity to the King that head ennobled with heavenly Majesty fit to be about the Throne and advanced to be the shoulders and brest of the Nation next the head The Kings party are here fully satisfied to see their King restored to the honour and greatnesse of his Ancestors his Progenitors which is into the glory of God the great king the Kings true Father They that contend for KNOWNE LAWES by this the Laws are known by God brought out of the dust of the earth in which they were trampled upon and restored into the brightnesse and life of God And now we shall see the whole body of the English Lawes interpreted and opened to us by the wisdome of God and all drawn forth into life and power by the Spirit of God as we see the fundament all Law of King and Parliament written in the face of God and Christ by the Spirit You shall have Religion in the OLD WAY in the good old way DIVINE SERVICE wherein every part of it shall be irradiated with the Beams of Divinity and in every thing you shall see the Face of God and have fellowship with the Divine Nature Religion shall be adorned with Solemnity State Pomp Glory Ease Musick all Heavenly and Earthly together such as may allure and please the mindes of men and there shall be
