A73135	Englands ioy, for suppressing the papists, and banishing the priests and Iesuites	Scott, Thomas, 1580?-1626.	1624 (1624)	STC 22076; ESTC S100080	8,925	20

but also would not suffer the Ammonites and Moabites to come into Gods Temple but enforced them to banishment out of Ierusalem For as you read how Iacob after his returne from Laban cleansed his house of the idols so did Nehemiah in despight of Eliashib the Priest who had allied himselfe to Tobiah a stranger and idolater put him from his lodging and cast out all the stuffe out of his chamber which in the text is likewise called cleansing and thus thankes be to God our great Nehemiah dealt with the Papists hee hath not onely thought them as prickes and thornes in the sides of good Christians but now found them as noysome and infectious weedes in the Common-wealth to choake and eate vp the sweeter Flowers and springing grasse and thus hath the Church of God example enough in Scripture to be an enemy to Gods enemies and fall to reformation with courage and magnamity Shall such a man as I flye sayth Nehemiah shall such a King as I sayth King Iames that haue been trayned vp from my infancy to deny Popery and for my Kingdome of Scotland a very nursery of zealous professors and mirrour of purity and piety suffer England to be defiled and contaminated with the poyson of superstition now I haue recollected my selfe shall I giue way to rotten and filthy policy to eate vpon the heart of true Religion or suffer priuate ends to thicken themselues like some obscure and dangerous cloud to stand as an interposition betweene the Sunny splendor of Gods word and the faire progresse of gouerment No No I will now be my selfe and therefore if either the Pope or Spaine deride me with Michol for dancing before the Arke and bringing it in into Gods house I will answere with Dauid I will yet bee more vilde and zealous for the Lord and as he told his wife that therefore God had taken the Kingdome from her father and inuested him with the Diadem so may King Iames answere Spaine that therefore God will make him mighty in his Prouinces in despight of malignant opposition and England shall not be only able to stand firme like an impregnable rocke in all honor riches and prosperity but of sufficiency to protect distressed neighbours and recouer vnfortunate and surrepted Prouinces Therefore away yee Priests and Iesuites packe hence for your liues and let me not heare any further of your daring impostures and you that will remaine Papists and with the Adder stoppe your eares that charme the Charmer neuer so cunningly hee shall not preuaile ro remoue you take heede and bee warned that you liue modestly in your wilfulnesse neither daring to breake our statutes against those Locusts of Rome nor to insult your selues or be offensiue to any ciuill conuersasion by the wrong defence and supportation of Romes corrupted Doctrine For I protest vnto you by the faith of a Religious King I take a pleasure in hearing what God sayd to Abraham For I know him that he will command his children Genesis 18.19 and his houshold after him and they shall keepe the way of the Lord to doe iustice and iudgment that the Lord may bring vpon Abraham that which hee hath spoken vnto him And therefore as I am Gods substitute in the supreame royalty so will I be his instrument in the practise of this reformation neither suffring any Papist whatsoeuer to haue the vse of Idolatrous masses nor to bring vp their owne Children in the eimerian darknesse of ignorance and diuelish deuotion For the Apostle tells vs plainely Colos 2. that the tormenting the body worshipping of Angells obseruing of Dayes and many foolish humiliations likewise denying of lawfull marriage and forbidding of meates and cellebrating of superstitious times are all the doctrines of the Diuell and is not this joy to England and how are our hearts cheered as you read of the Israelites that in the time of Salomon reioyced with one another and made merry eating and drinking vnder ther owne Vines Thus shall wee see the backes of our aduersaries and by Gods speciall fauour and grace the banishment of Priests and Iesuits But yee Maiestrates of the Common-wealth let them not immitate the Israelites in this Exod 40. to rob the Egyptians in their departure out of Egypt Let them not exporte our treasures nor enrich other Countries with our spoyles Let not your Ladies bestow their iewels and ornaments vpon them For though they could be contented to loue them with gratuities and presents yet must the Common-wealth reserue some secrets of State not to be impouerished by the lauish gifts of those that vnderstand not the Mistery of carying wealth out of the Land or consuming our siluer in trifles let none of their houses bee furnished with those remnants of gew-gawes wherein the ancient idolaters excelled them in be decking their idols I meane their meduies crucifixes relickes of saints the wood of the Crosse the milke of our Lady and a thousand such like trumperies fit for nothing but toyes to play with all as Apes do with Nut-shells For as you read how the children of Israel were tainted with the grosse superstition of Egypt so must needes the tender hearts of your women be captiuated with the reseruation of these things Let your Purseuants and Officers a Gods name be the researchers of suspected places that the very children which as yet know no harme may be sent to the Schooles of the children of the Prophets and by that meanes learne to liue in the feare of God and dye in his fauour Let the potent men be disarmed a Gods name not to giue them cause to thinke the better of themselues as if they were to be feared or reputed dangerous and polliticke but as you take kniues and other hurtfull things from madde men to preuent mischiefe that they neither endanger others nor themselues In a word let all good orders be obserued and a fashionable body of a religious Common-Wealth erected that his Maiesties person may bee secured the Prince and his Sister protected and pleased the honest neighbours subtenated with care and dilligence out owne Country flourishing with prosperity and confidence the poore releeued the trades restored the City repayred the Merchant countenanced the souldiers esteemed the Clergy-man beloued the well deserued reuerenced the weake supported the obstinate sinner punished the offender through frailty remitted and all iustifiable actions practised to the glory of God and comfort of our own soules Then if there be cause of warre Exodus 15.1 and so successe fallen Moses and Israel shall sing a song of Triumph to the Lord and Miriam the Prophetesse shall take a Timbrell in her hand and all the women goe after her with Timbrels and Dances Then if there be the flourishes of peace and that Salomon hath finished the Temple of God and his owne house he will present himselfe before the Lord 1 Kings 8.22.9 and kneele to his prayers spredding foorth his hands toward Heauen And then to conclude
