Sam. 5. lawes and loue there arose heart-burnings on both sides for Israel complained The men of Iuda haue stolne the king from vs and they of Iuda challenged that the king 2. Sam. 19. was nearer in bloud to them then to Israell and Israell againe replyed that they had ten parts in the king and therefore had more right to him But what in end grew of this cōtention and emulation consider I pray and preuent such inconuenience and mischiefe there was not any one among the Tribes in the second generation that followed the house of Dauid but Iuda onely Omen auertat 1. King 12. Deus VVhen I was but a young scholer I learned to call that aequiuocation which was corpus monstrosum vnder one name of diuerse formes as homo pictus and homo viuus agree in the name of man but not in the same reason definition and nature so I can call the agreement of English and Scottish onely in subiection to one Soueraigne but without farther Vnion of lawes and true loue not liuely and indeede but painted and in shew not substantiall but aequiuocall not reall but nominall namely in the King as in the head which is but one but not in themselues as in the bodie which likewise is or should be but one This is true incongruitie whereof may arise such farther fearefull inconuenience as I wish may be to them that hate the State and the experience thereof vnto the kings enemies Touching the particulars of confusion c. surmised by the Obiectors I briefly answer first that exception taken of summoning future Parliament is not worth answer for the stile and title of the king chaunged may change also in future VVrits Secondly the changing of Seale is onely charge of a new cut Thirdly the great old Officers of the kingdome when they yet most worthie of office do hereafter weare out the kings Maiestie shall afterward by this Vnion haue more choice to preferre the worthiest for his Maiestie by this Vnion shall gaine more choice for all the publike seruices to be performed either at home or abroade Neither may it be reasonable for any man for priuate or particular respects to repine thereat like to Cato his sonne who feared lest by his fathers Plut. Cato mariage he might leese somwhat of his patrimonie and therefore murmured lest his father should beget mo sonnes but had his answer with a sound reply vnanswerable Sonne I desire to haue moe sonnes like thy selfe good Citizens and seruiceable for the Commonweale Fourthly touching lawes customes liberties and priuiledges it is to be wished that the rigour of ours were somewhat qualified and the libertie of theirs somewhat restrained neither is it a new thing in so large a kingdome that some should be more enabled and honored with priuiledges then others according to the Kings good pleasure in whom dwelleth and from whom is deriued all true honor Fiftly the feare of residence or holding in Scotland such Courts as follow the Kings person is the selfe same as if we feared that without Vnion the King wold hold personall Courts in Cornwall or as if we doubted that such Courts when our former Kings were personally in Fraunce were not for all that kept at VVestminster The seate of iudgment is the seate of the house of Dauid thither the Tribes go vp and there the peoples feet stand euen in the gates of Ierusalem which Ierusalem is a citie that is at vnitie in it selfe at vnitie concerning matters of religion at vnitie in matters touching publike iustice and gouernment therefore the king began his Psal 122.
