wonderfull to see what false colours and feighned causes by slanderous lyes made upon their Prince and the Counsellours rebells will devise to cloake their rebellion withall which is the worst and most damnable of all false witnesse-bearing that may be possible The tenth Commandement For what should I speake of coveting or desiring other mens wives houses lands goods and servants in rebells who by their wills would leave unto no man any thing of his owne Thus you see that good lawes are by rebells violated and broken and that all sinnes possible to bee committed against God or man be contained in rebellion which sinnes if a man list to name by the accustomed names of the seven capitall or deadly sinnes as Pride Envie Wrath Covetousnesse Sloath Gluttonie and Lechery he shall finde them all in rebellion and amongst rebells For first as ambition and desire to bee aloft which is the propertie of pride stirreth up many mens mindes to rebellion it commeth of a Luciferian pride and presumption that a few rebellious subjects should set themselves up against the Majestie of their Prince against the wise-dome of Counsellours against the power and force of all Nobilitie and the faithfull subjects and people of the whole Realme As for envie wrath murther and desire of blood and covetousnesse of other mens goods lands and livings they are the inseparable accidents of all rebells and peculiar properties that doe usually stirre up wicked men unto rebellion Now such as by riotousnesse gluttonie drunkenesse excesse of apparell and unthriftie games have wasted their owne goods unthriftily the same are most apt unto and most desirous of rebellion whereby they trust to come by other mens goods unlawfully and violently And where other gluttons and drunkards take too much of such meates and drinkes as are served to tables rebels wast and consume in short space all corne in barnes fields and else where whole garners whole store-houses whole cellers devoure whole flockes of sheepe whole droves of Oxen and Kine And as rebells that are married leaving their owne wives at home doe most ungraciously so much more doe unmarried men worse then any stallions or horses being now by rebellion set at libertie from correction of lawes which bridled them before abuse by force other mens wives and daughters and ravish virgins and maydens most shamefully abominably and damnably Thus all sinnes by all names that sinnes may be named and by all meanes that sinnes may be committed and wrought doe all wholy upon heapes follow rebellion 2 King 14. and are to be found altogether amongst rebels Now whereas pestilence famine and war are by holy Scriptures declared to be the greatest worldly plagues and miseries that likely can be it is evident that all the miseries that all these plagues have in them doe wholly altogether follow rebellion wherein as all their miseries be so is there much more mischiefe than in them all For it is knowne that in the resorting of great companies of men together which in rebellion happeneth both upon the part of true subjects and of the Rebels by their close lying together and corruption of the ayre and place where they doe lye with ordure and much filth in the hot weather and by unwholesome lodging and lying often upon the ground especially in cold weather in Winter by their unwholesome diet and feeding at all times and often by famine and lack of meate and drinke in due time and againe by taking too much at other times It is well knowne I say that as well plagues and pestilences as all other kinds of sicknesses and maladies by these meanes grow up and spring amongst men whereby moe men are consumed at length then are by dint of sword suddenly slaine in the field So that not onely pestilences but also all other sicknesses diseases and maladies doe follow rebellion which are much more horrible then plagues pestilences and diseases sent directly from God as hereafter shall appeare more plainely And as for hunger and famine they are the peculiar companions of rebellion for while Rebels doe in a short time spoyle and consume all corne and necessary provision which men with their labours had gotten and appointed upon for their finding the whole yeare after and also doe let all other men husbandmen and others from their husbandry and other necessary works whereby provision should bee made for times to come who seeth not that extreame famine and hunger must needs shortly ensue 1 King 24. and follow rebellion Now whereas the wise King and godly Prophet David judged warre to bee worse then either famine or pestilence for that these two are often suffered by God for mans amendment and bee not sinnes of themselves but warres have alwayes the sinnes and mischeifes of men upon the one side or other joyned with them and therefore is warre the greatest of all worldly mischeifes but of all warres civill warre is the worst and farre more abominable yet is rebellion then any civill warre being unworthy the name of any warre so farre it exceedeth all warres in all naughtinesse in all mischeife and in all abomination Math. 32. And therefore our Saviour CHRIST denounceth desolation and destruction to that Realme that by sedition and rebellion is divided in it selfe Now as I have shewed before that pestilence and famine so is it yet more evident that all the calamities miseries and mischiefes of warre bee more grievous and doe more follow rebellion than any other warre as being farre worse than all other warres For not onely those ordinary and usuall mischeifes and miseries of other warres doe follow rebellion as corne and other things necessary to mans use to bee spoyled Houses Villages Townes Cities to bee taken sacked burned and destroyed not onely many very wealthy men but whole Countries to bee impoverished and utterly beggered many thousands of men to bee slaine and murthered women and maids to bee violated and deslowred which things when they are done by forraigne enemies wee doe much mourne as wee have great cause yet are all these miseries without any wickednesse wrought by any of our owne Countrey-men But when these mischiefes are wrought in rebellion by them that should bee friends by Countrey-men by Kinsmen by those that should defend their Countrey and Countrey-men from such miseries the misery is nothing so great as is the mischiefe and wickednesse when the subjects unnaturally doe rebell against their Prince whose honour and life they should defend though it were with the losse of their owne lives Countrey-men to disturbe the publique peace and quietnesse of their Countrey for defence of whose quietnesse they should spend their lives the brother to seeke and often to worke the death of his brother the sonne of the father the father to seeke or procure the death of his sonne being at mans age and by their faults to disinherit their innocent children and kinsmen their heires for ever for whom they might purchase livings and lands as naturall Parents
