A91279	The signal loyalty and devotion of God's true saints and pious Christians, especially in this our island towards their kings: (as also of some idolatrous pagans) Both before, and under the law and gospel; expressed by their private and publick prayers, supplications, intercessions, thanksgivings, well-wishes for the health, safety, long life, prosperity, temporal, spiritual, eternal felicity of the kings and emperours under whom they lived, whether pagan or Christian, bad or good, heterodox or orthodox, Papists or Protestants, persecutors or protectors of them: and likewise for their royal issue, posterity realms; and by their dutiful conscientious obedience and subjection to them; with the true reasons thereof from scripture and policy. Evidenced by presidents and testimonies in all ages, worthy the knowledg, imitation, and serious consideration of our present degenerated disloyal, antimonarchical generation. In two parts. By William Prynne Esq; late bencher, and reader of Lincolns-In; Signal loyalty and devotion of Gods true saints and pious Christians, towards their kings. Parts 1 and 2.

abjure extirpate their posterities and deprive them of their hereditary Crowns which some now deem their Saintship piety honour felicity to accomplish The 3d. are the several prayers and supplications that Moses made for King Pharaoh the grand oppressor enthraller afflicter of the Israelites when God sent him to rescue them from their intollerable bondage under him and his Officers to remove those very plagues which God himself inflicted on Pharaoh and his Aegyptians thereby to deliver them from their vassallage and bring them out thence to the promised Land thus recorded by Moses himself Exod. 8. 8. to 14. When the frogs came up and covered the land of Aegypt then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said Intreat the Lord that he may take away the frogs from me and from my people and I will let the people go that they may do sacrifice to the Lord. And Moses said to Pharaoh Glory over me against when shall I intreat for thee and for thy Servants and for thy People to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses that they may remain in the river only And he said to morrow And Moses said be it according to thy word that thou mayst know that there is none like unto the Lord our God and the frogs shall depart from thee and from thy houses and from thy servants and from thy people they shall remain in the River only And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh And Moses cryed unto the Lord because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh And the Lord did according to the word of Moses and the frogs dyed out of the Houses out of the Villages and out of the Field v. 29 30 31. Moses intreated the Lord that the swarms of frogs he sent might depart from Pharaoh from his Servants and from his Pople And the Lord did according to the word of Moses and he removed the frogs at Pharaohs request there remained not one After this Moses intreated the Lord to remove the mighty Thunder and Hail he had sent spreading abroad his hands unto the Lord in prayer for that end and they ceased Exod. 9. 28 29 33. The like he did at his Intreaty to remove the plague of Locusts Exod. 10 7 18 19. From these Presidents and practice of Moses I shall deduce these genuine seasonable Observations 1. That Moses being born in Egypt and bred up in Pharaohs Court was rather a Native subject to King Pharaoh than a mere Sojourner and Foreiner as Abraham and Jacob were to Abimelech and Pharaoh though he had been absent thence about forty years it thence follows from the premises That Subjects as well as Sojourners are bound by duty and allegeance to pray for their Kings and people 2ly Moses was enforced to fly out of Egypt to save his life because Pharaoh sought to slay him for killing an Egyptian who smote and oppressed an Hebrew one of his Brethren and this Pharaoh to whom God sent him and for whom he thus prayed four times after each other was not only a Pagan-Idolater but in all probability the Kings Son or Grand-son who sought to slay him Aegypt being an hereditary Kingdom as Isay 19. 11. and all Historians record Yea both these Pharaohs with two or more of their Ancestors and their Officers did extraordinarily oppress the Israelites causing all their Male-children they could meet with to be drowned in the River but such as the Midwives preserved against their commands afflicting them by their Task-masters heavy burdens rigorous service and hard bondage which made their lives bitter and caused them to sigh groan and cry unto the Lord by reason of the bondage who thereupon heard their cry and saw their oppression and remembred his Covenant made with Abraham Isaac and Jacob to rescue them from their Thraldom yet notwithstanding Moses prayed four times to remove the Plagues God had inflicted on Pharaoh his Servants and people and no waies endeavoured to deprive or disinherit them either of their Lives Crowns or Succession though a chosen Servant Man and Saint of God commissioned and sent by God himself to deliver the Israelites from their bondage under Pharaoh and bring them out of Egypt Whence I shall irrefragably infer That the eminentest chosen Saints Men and Servants of God yea all other loyal Subjects ought chearfully to obey and pray for not only their Pagan Idolatrous but persecuting and oppressing Kings and their royal Posterity and though they may use all lawfull means to deliver themselves and fellow-subjects from their unjust tyranny bondage oppressions yet they neither lawfully can nor ought forcibly to dethrone disinherit them or their Posterities of their Crowns nor rebel against or deprive them of their lives by tumultuous Insurrections Assassinations and High Courts of Justice 3ly That Godly persecuted oppressed Subjects may and ought to pray for the removal of those Judgements which God himself inflicts upon their oppressive persecuting Kings their Servants People successively one after another for those persecutions tyrannies oppressions under which they groan and cry of purpose to bring them to repentance and deliver them from their bondage pressures vexations under them as Moses did in this case of Pharaoh his Officers and the Egyptians for the removal of 4 grievous Plagues inflicted upon them one after another by God himself and Moses and Aaron as his Instruments Thus much concerning these most memorable antient Presidents before the Law and Kings of Israel which none have hitherto pressed or insisted on in this kind to my knowledge as I have done CHAP. II. I Shall in the next place proceed to Presidents of Gods Servants and people under the Law from the first erection of the Israelites into a kingdom till our Saviours Nativity intermixed with some examples of this kind in Pagan Idolators within that circle of time The first Prayer and President of this nature recorded in sacred Story by Gods own Spirit is that which was used at the anointing and inauguration of Saul the very first King * elected ordained by God himself over his own people of Israel when Saul being chosen by lot and fetched from among the stuff where he had hid himself 1 Sam. 11. 23 24. The Prophet Samuel said to all the people See yee him whom the Lord hath chosen that there is none like him among all the people And all the people thereupon shouted and said God save the King or Let the King live as the Hebrew Phrase renders it which no doubt they oft times repeated according to the usual practice at all Kings inaugurations and coronations ever since which probably they learned from the custom of other Nations round about them who had Kings and kingly Government before them as the 1 Sam. 8. 5 19 20. Make us a King to judge us like all the Nations Nay but we will have a King over us that we also may be like all the Nations compared with Deut. 17. 19. And

This done the King ariseth from his Devotion and reposeth him a while in his chair of Estate After a while he goeth to the Altar and there disrobeth himself of his uppper garments his under apparel being made open with loops only closed at the places which are to be anoynted The Archbishop undoeth the loops and openeth the places which he is to anoynt The Archbishop first anoynteth his hands saying Unguantur manus c. istae de oleo sanctificato unde uncti fuerunt Reges prophetae Et sicut Samuel David in regem ut sis benedictus constitutus Rex in regno isto super populum istum quem Dominus Deus tuus dedit ribi ad regendum gubernandum Quod ipse prestare dignetur qui cum Patre Spiritu sancto c.
