A56228	A vindication of Psalme 105.15. (touch not mine anointed, and doe my prophets no harme) from some false glosses lately obtruded on it by Royalists Proving, that this divine inhibition was given to kings, not subjects; to restraine them from injuring and oppressing Gods servants, and their subjects; who are Gods anoynted, as well as kings: and that it is more unlawfull for kings to plunder and make war upon their subjects, by way of offence, then for subjects to take up armes against kings in such cases by way of defence. With a briefe exhortation to peace and unity.	Prynne, William, 1600-1669.	1642 (1642)	Wing P4125A; ESTC R220573	13,148	10

against it every one with his we●pon c. And v. 15. to 30. in the same chap. God thus speaks to K. Iehoiakim Shalt thou raign because thou closest thy self in Cedar Did not thy father eat and drink do judgment and justice and then it was well with him c. But thine eyes and thine heart were not but for thy covetousnes and to shed innocent blood and for oppression for violence to do it Therfore thus saith the Lord concerning Iehoiakim K. of Iudah they shal not lament for him saying ah my brother or ah sister ah Lord or ah his glory but he shal be buried with the burial of an asse drawn cast forth beyond the graves of Ierusalē Neither doth this judgment for oppressing slaying his sub●ects rest here but extend to the utter extirpation of his posterity ver. 24.30 As I live saith the Lord though Coniah the son of Iehoiakim K. of Iudah were the signet on my right hand yet would I pluck thee thence Write ye this man childlesse a man that shal not prosper in his daies for no man of his seed shal prosper sitting upon the thron of David So fatal is it to Kings and their posterity to oppresse and murther their subjects And as for those subjects who by their Kings commands shal take up armes against their brethen to murther plunder or oppresse them I shal desire them first to consider that precept of Iohn Baptist given to souldiers themselves Luk. 3.14 D● violence to no man c. muchles to your brethren and fellow-subjects and next that of Obadiah v. 10. to 16 For thy violence against thy brother Iacob shame shal cover thee and thou shalt be cut off for ever In the day that thou stoodest on the other side in the day that the strangers carried away his substance and entered into his gates● and cast lots upon Ierusalem even thou wast as one of them But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother neither shouldest thou have rejoyced over the children of Iudah in the day of their destruction neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distresse Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people nor have looked on their affliction nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crosse way to cut off those of his which did escape neither shouldest thou have shut up those of his that did remain in the day of distres●● As thou hast done it shall be done unto thee thy sword shal return upon thine own head All which cōsidered I shal humbly submit it to every mans judgment whether the whol state in Parliament and his Majesties faithful subjects may not upon as good or better grounds of conscience take up armes to defend and preserve their persons wives houses goods estates from unlawful violence rapine plundering and destruction now every where practised by his Majesties Cavaleeres in a most * barbarous manner to the utter ruine of many thousands for the present and whol kingdom in likelihood for the future contrary to the fundamental lawes and liberties of the subject his Majesties Coronation oath and frequent protestations and Declarations As his Majesty by advice of ill counsellors raise an army at home and bring in forren * forces from abroad to make war upon his Parliament and people to plunder murder undoe them and bring the whole kingdome to utter desolation Certainly if the subjects defensive war in this case be unlawfull as all Royalists aver against Scripture reason and the principles of nature which instruct all creatures to defend themselve● against unjust violence and oppession as others have proved at large Then the Kings offensive war upon his loyall poore innocent subjects and Parliament must much more be unjust and unlawful for the premised reasons and Scripture authorities For my part it is ●o far from my intention● to foment this most unnatural destructive war between King Parliament and people that the ●houghts of its deplorable effects do make my very soule to bleed and heart ●o tremble For if ever Christ the Oracle of truth uttered any verity truer than other it was this * That a kingdom divided against it self cannot stand but shall be brought to desolation * And if we bite and devour one another we shall be consumed one of another O then if God in his justice hath not devoted us to a totall final desolation for the sins and abuses of our long enjoyed former peace if there be any remainder of policy or prudence any bowels of mercy or tender affection left within us towards our most deere native bleeding and also expiring Country Engand to poore dying Ireland to our religion lives wives children parents kindred neighbours goods estates liberties or any ca●e of our own safety tranquillity or felicity let all of all sides now at last after so much sensible experience of the miseries of an intestine uncivill war with all convenient expedition lay down offensive and defensive armes conclude such a sweet solid peace throughout our divided and distracted kingdom as may last forever without the least violation upon such just and honourable terms as may stand with Gods glory religions purity his Majesties honour the Parliaments priviledges the subjects liberty the whole kingdoms safety and felicity least otherwise we become not only a scorn and derision but likewise a prey to our forraign enemies Alasse why should the head and members have any civil contestations since both must perish if divided * neither subsist but being united why should the Kings prerogative and the subjects liberties which seldom clashed heretofore and ended all diffe●ences in Courts of justice be now at such irreconcileable e●mity as to challenge one another into the field and admit no trial but by battel when I read in * Scripture of sundry presidents where Kings Princes and people have unanimously concurred in their counsels heretofore and consider how our King and Parliame●t have most happily accorded till of late I cannot but bewaile their present discords which O that the God of peace and unity would speedily reconcile I shall c●ose up all with his Majesties printed speech to both houses annexed to the petition of right by his Royal command I assure you my maxime is That the peoples Liberty strengthens the Kings Prerogative and that the Kings Prerogative is to defend the peoples Liberties And with the Statute of Magna Charta ch. 29. No freeman shal be taken or imprisoned or be disseised of his freehold or liberties or free customs or be outlawed or exiled or any other waies destroyed nor we shal not passe upon him nor cond●mn him but by the lawful judgment of his Peers or by the law of the Land We shal sel to no man we shal deny nor defer to no man justice or right Which in effect is a most exact paraphrase on this misconstrued text Touch not min● anointed and do my Prophets no harme FINIS * 2 Pet. 2.16 * As the 2 Sam. 15.24 For Rebellion is as the sinne of Witchcraft stubbornnes is as iniquity and idolatry now applied to subjects opposing their Princes unlawfull commands when it is meant only of King Sauls rebellion against the command of God as the conte●t and story manifest * Zech. 11.5 * Read the 2 Chr. 36.
