man but to judge the wrong done by any in authority to a private man or woman 12. If by chance there come into the house a close hypocrite that is contentious the Parliament speedily shall cast him out and by their Order the Countrey shall suddenly chuse another or send him up which he out-voted at the time of Election neither may he at any time be chosen again to sit in Parliament Countrey and City as one man upon every occasion shall stand up for King and Parliament to beat down their opposers for in them is the safety of the Nation and whatsoever in our Law is contrary to this Rule shall be made void and of none effect Direction to chuse a King IT is fit that London being the chief City of these Nations England Scotland and Ireland who are now one body should have the preheminence as the Royall City of all and that the King should be chosen in London then let the Lord Major when a King is to be chosen take the names of all the Parishes under his command and divide them and cast lots untill the number be under eight Then shall he send unto those parishes which the Lord hath taken that every parish at such a day shall send a man to such a place whereupon every parish of them shall call a Vestry to chuse a man that is above fifty years of age that hath been a seeker of God and that fears God that is full of the Scripture and holy Ghost not full of the Scripture yet deny it to be Gods word as some do that is diligent in his calling yet his getting being so small that he is forced to take some alms to preserve himself and family a poor man that is not worth five pounds nor is five pound in debt one that can write and read and hath good understanding and reason and one that is a native born in Britain or Ireland Such men shall be chosen and sent to the Lord Major at the time appointed and he and the Aldermen shall question them one by one and take out of them eight in number two of the fittest persons among them and after prayer the Lord Major shall cast the lot and he on whom the lot is fallen always shall be proclaimed by the name of King Charles and there shall be allowed him that is King two hundred pound a year one hundred for himself to maintain him during his life the other hundred to be divided among fifty poor old men for gowns and the rest for them in money yearly and to be paid out of the kingdomes treasury and in regard of it the old men are to pray for the King while he liveth and when he dieth to accompany him to his grave and his buriall shall be decent according to his means and not costly as the former Kings burialls were 2. I thought of another way of Election Namely that he which is the oldest Charterhouse-man shall be alwayes King I mean not the oldest in years but he that was longest in the house it would save the trouble of electing the King for there is a continuall succession or supply of poor old men coming in there continually but that it is necessary to chuse a King of the purest sort and at last to let God chuse him or decide it by lot which is his own Ordinance that he alwayes answereth by in such matters that cannot be known or decided otherwayes as you see in the Old Testament and New Joshua 7. 14. Judges 1. 1. 2 3. 1 Samuel 14. 38 39 40 41 42. Jonah 1. 7 8. Acts 1. 23 24 25 26. Besides there might happen some treachery among these old men for it is not convenient for any to know aforehand who shall be the next King and the King being alwayes of one name Charles there is no interregnum notwithstanding the time of chusing a King should be somewhat long for the King is alwayes living though not declared untill elected Therefore the first is the best way for election And now I shall shew you how this is our Saviour Christs Institution for his Kingdome FIrst take notice of Matthew 20. 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Mark 10. 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42. 43 44 45. Luke 22. 24 25 26 27. All which sheweth that when the Apostles strove for greatnesse in his Kingdome he tells them that they must not be as the Gentiles were who did alwayes exalt their great and rich ones to reign over them but they contrariwise are commanded to exalt the low and poore to reign over them And indeed there is weighty reasons why it should be so that the great ones should be kept down for the great ones alwayes striving to be greater and to have more wealth and honour they being never satisfied was the destruction of themselves and followers and were the disquieting and ruine of good meek innocent peaceable men and is it not so to this day among us and all them who would be accounted Christians 2. The holy Apostle Saint Paul further expounding the abovesaid words of our Saviour Jesus Christ saith 1 Cor. 1. 27 28 29.

The holy Apostle Saint James clears it further shewing you that such poor men are the Royall seed of Christs kingdome James 2. 5. Hearken my beloved saith he regard what I say hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith and heirs to the kingdome which he hath promised to them that love him Christians this is the kingdome that ye dayly pray for when ye say to God Thy kingdome come Thy will be done on earth c.
