A91165	Conscientious, serious theological and legal quæres, propounded to the twice-dissipated, self-created anti-Parliamentary Westminster juncto, and its Members. To convince them of, humble them for, convert them from their transcendent treasons, rebellions, perjuries, violences, oppressive illegal taxes, excises, militiaes, imposts; destructive councils, proceedings against their lawfull Protestant hereditarie kings, the old dissolved Parliament, the whole House of Lords, the majoritie of their old secured, secluded, imprisoned fellow-Members, the counties, cities, boroughs, freemen, commons, Church, clergie of England, their Protestant brethren, allies; contrary to all their oathes, protestations, vowes, leagues, covenants, allegiance, remonstrances, declarations, ordinances, promises, obligations to them, the fundamental laws, liberties of the land; and principles of the true Protestant religion; and to perswade them now at last to hearken to and embrace such counsels, as tend to publike unitie, safetie, peace, settlement, and their own salvation. / By William Prynne Esq; a bencher of Lincolns Inne.

Whosoever therefore resisteth the power resisteth the Ordinance of God and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation c. Wherefore ye must needs be subject not only for wrath but also for conscience sake Tit. 3. 1 2. Put them in mind to be subject to Principalities and Powers to obey Magistrates to be ready to every good work To speak evil of no man to be gentle shewing all meekness unto all men Ephes. 6. 5 6 7.

Servants such are all Mercenary Officers Soldiers under pay to the old Parliament and Kingdom obey in all things your Masters according to the flesh in fear and trembling in singleness of heart as unto Christ Not with eye service as men-pleasers but as the servants of Christ doing the will of God from the heart With good will doing service as to the Lord and not to men for ye serve the Lord Christ 1 Pet. 2. 13 to 20. Submit your selves to every Ordinance of man for the Lord sake whether it be to the King as supreme or unto Governors as unto those who are sent by him for the punishment of evil doers and for the praise of them that do well for so is the will of God that with well-doing ye put to silence the ignorance of foolish men As free and not using your liberty as a cloak of maliciousnesse but as the servants of God Honour all men in lawfull authority Fear God Honour the King Servants be subject to your Masters with all fear not only to the good and gentle but also to the froward For this is thank-worthy if a man for conscience toward God endure grief suffering wrongfully Whether by their former late rebellions against the King Parl. all their lawful Superiors and exalting themselves above all their former Lords and Masters they have not given Christ himself the lye and falsified his reiterated Asseveration Resolution Mat. 10. 24. John 13. 16. c. 15. 10. Verily Verily I say unto you the Disciple is not above his Master nor the Servant above or greater than his Lord neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him If ye know these things happy are ye if ye do them And whether they will not prove bitternesse and damnation to them in the latter end Whether the Juncto and Army Council upon serious consideration of all the premises and their former miscarriages have not all cause with penitent hearts and bleeding Spirits to cry out and make this old publike confession in the Book of Common Prayer Almighty and most mercifull Father we have erred and strayed from thy wayes like lost sheep We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts we have offended against thy holy laws we have left undone those things which we ought to have done and we have done those things which we ought not to have done and there is no health nor truth in us But thou O Lord have mercy upon us miserable Offendors And grant that we may hereafter live a godly righteous and sober life to the glory of thy holy name Amen Which if these Workers of iniquity shall still refuse to do as if the Lord did neither see nor regard it and thereby provoke our 3. Nations to cry out with united prayers to God against them * Help Lord for the godly man ceaseth for the faithfull fail from among the children of men O Lord God of revenges O Lord God to whom vengeance belongeth shew thy self lift up thy self thou Judge of the Earth render a reward to the proud Lord how long shall the wicked how long shall the wicked triumph how long shall they utter hard things and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves They break in pieces thy people O Lord afflict thine heritage they slay the widow and murder the fatherless They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous and condemn the innocent bloud Whether they must not then expect that inevitable doom of God himself ensuing after such practises and Prayers Psa. 94. 23. And the Lord shall bring upon them their own iniquity and shall cut them off in their own wickednesse yea the Lord our God shall cut them off * The transgressors shall be destroyed together the end of the wicked shall be cut off But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord he is their strength in the time of troble And the Lord shall help them and deliver them he shall deliver them from the wicked and save them because they trust in him Jer. 36. 3 7.
