A84000	Englands second alarm to vvar, against the Beast. Saul, with his Edomite has shed blood to his power; he smites Israels city, and destroyes his owne house; overcame his people once, and overthrew himselfe for ever! It relates to what is done now. Grave questions touching the Edomite; his admission to court, and into office there; how it relates to papists now. He has a commission to destroy a city of priests, which he does with an utter destruction. Excellent reasons why the Lord suffered such a destruction to be executed upon Israel then; and why he suffers the same now; and why by an Edomites hand then and now.		1643 (1643)	Wing E3047; Thomason E59_19; ESTC R23537	31,766	33

said Luther having his eyes shut up and living in Monkery Why then when they are declared to bee so So Rebellious to the Lawes of the King of Heaven So Trayterous to the Crowne of the King and Kingdome Let it bee done unto him according to the Judgement of our Law The Hangman must doe his Office see what that cord will doe To the other Questions Wherefore the King taketh the Edomites Atheists and Papists Davids Enemies all To his side Why his heart cleaveth to such Enemies as these in love His Answer is advising with pernicious Counsellors in whose hand he is as Sauls was Because he is perswaded These are Men faithfull to his Person and Right for his Service so they are indeed and will defend him from David who as he seems to say lyes in wait for him as it is at this day and as David lay in wait for Saul in those dayes So we may mocke men but God will not be mocked It were endlesse and needlesse to tell stories touching this matter how Right-handed-men Papists have beene to their Kings and their Kingdomes in all Ages Thank Master Prynne I will name him againe being resolved to anger the Divell and all his Bishops he has told us enough and abundantly satisfied us at this point I proceed Saul may say David lay in wait to take away his life therefore he tooke the Edomite to his side to defend him from Davids sword when the truth was Saul persecuted David thorough the Thousands of Israel and that he might doe to David according to all the desire of his soule he tooke the Edomite to his side a Mighty Adversary to Israel and as Skilfull to destroy The very same Reason and no other now wherefore the King in the hands of bloudy and pernicious Adversaries takes Atheists and Papists to him now why he cleaves to them in love Because they are mighty to doe mischiefe skilfull to shed bloud as is legible now in Ireland and England both But this we must note Though Sauls excuse for taking to himselfe such a guard and such a Captaine over them was not so specious as it was ridiculous yet there was bloodshed in good earnest which was charged heavily upon Saul for it ruined him and all his house and all together as we reade We must apply this now and approve our selves faithfull to the Soul of our King That his Conscience may speak-out before it be too late and he speechlesse then commonly the Conscience speakes loudest That the Conscience may speak-out and in season we apply and reade on So will the bloud-shed in Ireland and England by the Edomites in both places bee charged upon the King whose servants they are and whose Commission they have such a pernicious Counsell he has Turne thou and fall upon the Priest and people all whose hand is with David and the Edomite turned c. This is the Edomites Commission now against all that have an hand with David And therefore all the Bloud they have shed there or here shall be charged upon the King Not the bloud of Ireland sure Ob. not a drop Yes every drop Ans though it be an Occan a. He called them Rebels Ob. and caused them to be proclaimed so in forty Papers at least and Rebels with an accent We remember some such matter Ans and as it harpened saw the Proclamation but it was not hearty if so then not onely the Publique Cryer but every Post and Pillar had proclaimed them Rebels for so the Kings best Subjects were proclaimed the yeare before We understand a The bloud a Ruler commands to be shed or suffers to be shed The Lord chargeth upon the Rulers score Thou hast killed 2 Sam. 12.9 2 Kings 21.19 well when a thing is done heartily for then the whole Land shall ring of it every City and Towne there every Church and Chappell nor so onely Stockes and Stones shall be taught to speake and to proclaime Rebels so good Subjects were proclaimed Rebels Rebels indeed as those in Ireland not so proclaimed but coldly and faintly God He knowes His Majesty made offer to goe himselfe and fight with the Rebels B. his stomack did so rise against them We remember his Secretary wrote some such matter A. but the Secretary knew the stomack of his wicked Counsell rose against Hull and was cager upon that place to take the Ammunition thence which they would have had first and have gone to suppresse the Rebels afterwards we remember this very well And his Majesty sayes his soule bleedeth over the bloudshed in Ireland B. We doe not certainly know what his Majesty sayes A. for we cannot thinke that we reade his words His Secretary has told us so much and truly I can forbeare him no longer he is one of the vilest Hypocrites in all the world one of the vile Counsellours sure who perswaded the King to intercept the provision of Cloathes and other things sending over to a poore peeled naked people and then would make us beleeve They pirty the peoples nakednesse and their soules bleed over their misery The Kings party make all supplyes over to the Rebels there to make them the more able for the shedding of more bloud and then tells us The Kings heart bleeds over the bloodshed there They call them Rebels there and call them over hither to do the like execution here and here they doe it with all their might and yet the Secretary tels us The Kings soule bleeds over this bloudshed O hellish blasphemy horrible hypocrisie If the Secretaries bloud and all the bloud that runnes in the veins of that Hellish Counsell about his Majesty were shed it would not redeeme the wrong they have done to the King their Master I doe not adde and the Kindome by these notorious Blasphemies Contradictions Remonstrances and Contra-Remonstrances declaring one thing with the Tongue and then the contrary with the Hand so making us beleeve That the King their Master is as one of them Obeb 11. which we tremble to think-of as notorious an Hypocrite as was he wee have often read of and we have never read the like till this day whose foot stood in the path of the destroyer did drive-on furiously there weeping all along as he went That is the expression Jer. 41.6 as if his soule had bled over the bodies which he had slaine when yet he went-on furiously resolved to slay more and so many he had slaine that he has filled a great Pit with the slame GOD beholds all this and will require it Rebels in Ireland howsoever proclaimed against for fashion sake are the Kings good Subjects here helping on the Designe And they who opposed their Bloody Designes here and there not in designe onely but in execution are called Traytors and Rebells both and all heartily Here is a double Iniquity We do not pray for we deprecat against the Judgement but the Lord lookes upon this and
