this alone one would think should be enough to disparage the mad Attempts of the Rebel that as Gowry is said to have made his Remark when he was hatching his Treason that no Conspiracy was ever so form'd amongst all that he had met with as not to be defective in one Circumstance or other and therefore he would take care to out-do them all and needs it must be so for it can never take God into the Counsel never have the Help of his Wisdom and Providence to accomplish it a shrewd Defect indeed and such a Circumstance as might serve to recover Men to their Wits if any thing were sufficient to recover him who is so bewitch'd with his own Pride Malice or Revenge some of the necessary Ingredients in this Sorcery and what is still more dreadful than all this 6. 'T is a Sin that shall be eternally punish'd with that Despair in Hell with which 't is begun and prosecuted on Earth Use 2. From hence see the many and great Reasons we have to detest the execrable Treason of this Day Tell it not in Gath publish it not in Askelon That ever Religion should be prostituted to serve so great a Villany That the Holy Name of God should be made use of to countenance the Murdering of his own Vicegerent 'T was David's Question to the Amalekite who might have pleaded the Royal Command of Saul and but a sort of Allegiance paid to him in his Anguish to stand upon him and slay him 2 Sam. 1. 14. How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the Lord 's Anointed Is it nothing to have the Divine Character effaced Nothing to be guilty of Royal Blood To behead the Nation at a Blow and then bring him by whom Kings reign into the Conspiracy Blessed Saviour Was this thy meaning when thou commandedst to give to Caesar the things that are Caesars Was this the Reason of thy submitting to Civil Powers that thy Disciples must presently construe it to signifie their Right to depose them Or was it for this Thou inspired'st good St. Paul to tell us We must needs be subject not only for Wrath but Conscience sake Rom. 13. 5. that for Conscience sake we should Rebell against them I might farther aggravate the Fact from the Excellency of the Person his Clemency his Justice his Temperance his Chastity his exemplary Piety and Patience but 't is too stupifying an Argument to dwell on and therefore shall only add this that the only way not to make all this horrid Guilt ours is that which God predicts as what must lead to the Recovery of Israel from that Captivity their Rebellion brought upon them which shall be my last Use viz. Use 3. A turning to God and for they must go together to our King so 't is Hosea 3. 5. Afterward shall the Children of Israel return and seek the Lord their God and David their King There is a sort of Allegiance there is a Duty we can still pay to the Royal Martyr what was wanting to his Person let us pay to his Memory rather let us pay to what of him survives our Dear Sovereign for He too suffer'd in and with him Let us consider who 't was that set either Father or Son on the Throne and let us not forget to pay all Duty and Allegiance there 't is the only Method left us to redeem the Nation and make the Stain of the Guilt not publick still Let us above all disclaim the Principles on which 't was acted let neither Israel nor Judah Religion under any Name whatever so unhallow it self as to justifie the least Degree of Treason 'T is a Debt we all owe to the Honour of our great Master's Name which hath so much suffer'd on either hand as to take care that that be no longer thus reproached for thus to dishonour him and his Gospel certainly is more than to crucifie him afresh 't is to make him the very Malefactor on the Cross to make him the Barabbas the Author of Sedition and Murder in the greatest Detestation and Abhorrence whereof give me leave to conclude with the Words of the Apostle Wherefore you must needs be subject 'T is the Duty as Christians we owe to that Holy Name 't is the truest Honour you can do the Gospel to free it from those Abuses to which turbulent and seditious Men prostitute that Holy Heavenly and Peaceable Doctrine You are those who your selves expect Crowns 't is the Name under which the future Glory you hope for is express'd and is the Rebel fit to be advanced to that Dignity you expect an everlasting Kingdom think not a little Patience and Subjection too much to pay for it you look after Eternal Joy let not Repining and Murmuring be the Preparatives for it Submit to those whom the Lord hath set over you 'T is your undoubted Duty and 't is your Reward your Reward here in that Peace that Quiet that Content and what doth not that Name contain which such a Temper leads to and enjoys at present and 't will be your Reward hereafter in that State of everlasting and unalterable Obedience to the King of Kings in which Heaven and its Happiness will consist Now unto the King Eternal Immortal Invisible the only Wise God be Honour and Glory for ever and ever Amen FINIS ADVERTISEMENT ☞ England's Black Tribunal Containing the Tryal of the Blessed Martyr-King Charles I. with the Dying Speeches and Behaviour of many of the Nobility and Gentry who suffered Death for their Loyalty by the then Rebels Sold by Henry Playford near the Temple-Church 8o.
