the olde law who as they say by vertue of their Priesthood haue deposed and depriued Kings from their seates which power they labour to deriue and appropriate to the Popes office I will name but two of them in two examples 1 Cardinall Allen alleadgeth Azarias the high Priest who with ●o other Priests put downe Ozias smitten with leprosie by force out of the Temple and depriued him of his regall authority Ergo say they it is lawfull for the high Priest that is the Pope to driue hereticall Kings that is spirituall Leapers out of the Temple of Gods Church and Territories of their kingdome by excommunication which is a separation and then by deposition which is a finall depriuation of them and deputation of some other Regent as Azarias committed the kingdome to be then gouerned by Iotham his sonne Wee answere as some of our Church haue answered That Azarias did not depriue Ozias of his regall power for he held it to his dying day onely his sonne Iotham as a kinde of Viceroye was surrogated because the immediate hand of God had smitten him with leprosie for his leprosie he was punished to liue apart a priuate life not to be depriued of his inheritance Ambition couetousnesse yea all sinne is a leprosie hath not the Pope such a contagion why then he may as well be depriued of his Miter being a grand sinner and so a great leaper as any other Indeed Ozias or Vzziah greatly sinned in presuming to vsurpe the Priests office transgressing against the Lord in going into the Temple to burne incense vpon the Altar of incense and Azariah with the other Priests withstood Vzziah the King telling him it pertained not to him to burne incense but to the Priests the sonnes of Aaron consecrated to offer it and was smitten of the Lord for it with leprosie and so liued apart according to the Law yet still was King in esse though not in execution 2 Cardinall Bellarmine alleadgeth Iehoiada the High Priest who commanded Athalia the Queene to bee slaine and Ioash to succeed implying an inference that so it is lawfull for Popes to doe the like We answer that Athalia an vsurper and murderer killing all the royall seed excepting only the secretly preserued Ioash the vndoubted heyre of the Crowne beeing proclaimed and annointed King with a generall consent of all Iehoiada by the authority of the King and not as High Priest but rather tanquam regis patruus Protector as his Kinsman and Protector the King being in his minority seauen yeares olde and Iehoiada being his Allye hauing married the Kings An● and so bound by the Law of Nature and Nations to defend the Kings right and to reuenge the tyranny of a bloudy Queen against the Kings killed progeny and Iehoiadaes commandement was confirmed by the Kings authority and with the common consent and Counsell of the land not as being High Priest but as chiefe of his Tribe to reuenge the crying bloud of the royall offspring murthered by vsurping Athalia to depriue her of her vsurped regiment and life what is this to depose a lawfull King by the authority of the Pope Kings shall anguste sedere as Tully said to Caesar haue quaking Scepters vnquiet seates and narrow limits if the Pope haue power to depriue them of their power state But to passe ouer other the like examples alleadged by Romanists in this kinde I will touch those foure things which they obiect and say doe dissolue regall right and make Kings who are culpable of such faults to forfeit their Crownes 1. Tyranny 2. Infidelity 3. Heresie 4. Apostacy The Popish assertions heerein runne in the affirmatiue that all or any one is sufficient to depriue a King of his Crown The opinions of Protestants run in the negatiue that none of these are sufficient to make a King forfeit his dignity and Diademe To begin with the first Tyranny doth not cut off a King from his soueraignty Who a greater Tyrant then King Saul who hunted after Dauids soule to take it yet who was so faithfull among all his seruants as Dauid confessed by Sauls owne mouth To be more righteous then he for thou hast rendred mee good and I haue rendred thee euill yea this Saul such a tyrant that he commanded Doeg to fall vpon the Lords Priests and Doeg at his commandement flew sounescore and fiue persons that did weare a linnen Ephod and did smite Nob the Priests City with the edge of the sword both man and woman childe and suckling oxe and asse and sheepe with the sword Yet Dauid no priuate or plebe●an subiect but a man by Gods commandement designed for the Kingdome cheefe Captaine and Coronel of Sauls Army and heire apparent to the Crowne and hauing opportunity to depriue Saul of his life and importunity of his followers to doe the deed yet heare his voice The Lord keepe me from doing that thing vnto my Master the Lords Annointed to lay my hand vpon him for he is the Lords Annointed and the same Dauid to Abishai Destroy him not for who can lay his hand vpon the Lords Annointed and be guiltlesse O heauenly voice of holy Dauid how different are Popelings from Dauids resolution Occasionem victoria Dauid habebat in manibus incantum securum aduersarium sine labore poterat iugulare advictoriam opportunitas hortabatur sed obstabat Diuinorum memoria mandatorum non mittam manum in vnctum Domini repressit cum gladio manum dum timuit oleum seruauit inimicum As most elegantly and excellently writes Optatus Dauid had a present occasion of security of victory and might without any difficulty or danger haue killed his vnkind and vnconsiderate enemy opportunity might haue pressed him to it but the remembrance of Gods commandements stay his hand Touch not my Annointed This keepes backe the hand and sword and fearing the regall oyle fauours a dismall enemy Now Tyranny may be of two kinds either of vsurped regiment and dominion without any ciuill title and interest hauing no titular foundation but violent vsurpation and herein subiection is not necessary Quoad obedientiam if Quoad Sust●…ntiam Herein patience more requisite then obedience 2 Kind is when ordinary and lawfull power degenerates into tyranny and cruelty by abuse and herein Papists giue liberty Tyrannum occidere licet It is lawfull to kill a Tyrant contrary to Dauid God forbid that I should lay mine hand vpon the Lords Annointed 1 Sam. 26. 11. Meaning Saul a Tyrant by abuse but not by vsurpation but we haue handled this before and therefore leaue it 2. Infidelity doth not depriue a King of his regiment Oh but replies the Papist All title to Dominion hath foundation in the grace of Iustice Charity and Piety so that by impiety or infldelity they make forfeiture of their authority Answer It is prouidence not grace that disposeth ciuill titles grace not prouidence that makes them

vpon the regall Throne so long as the Sunne and Moone endureth Haec regnd tenere Et natos natorum qui nascentur ab illis That all his Subiects may euer pray for him obey him and honor him aswel in deeds as words hea●ts as tongues saying and praying God saue the King CHAP. VII THE fourth duty of Subiects to be duly rendred and tendered to their annointed Soueraignes is loyall and faithfull seruice thinking themselues as Tiberius said of his People Homines ad seruitutem nati Men borne to doe them seruice And therefore it was a commendable order as Melancthon records it that euery Citizen did sweare taking a corporall Oath Pugnabo pro sacris pro legibus pro aris focis solus simul cum alijs ne patriam meam deteriorem qua accepi posteris tradam omnibus viribus enitar I will fight for Religion for our lawes c alone with others and I will with all my might rather endeauour to better then to make worse my Countrey to posterity acknowledging themselues seruants to their Countrey and vowing their best endeauours to doe her faithfull seruice So all true subiects are bound by the Lawes of God and men to be faithfull seruants to their Soueraignes and if they neglect or reiect this duty I may say to them as Dauid did to Abner Ye be worthy to die because ye haue not kept your Master the Lords Annointed because you haue not been faithfull seruants to your anointed Soueraignes If any Bighthan or Teresh seek to lay hands on our gracious Soueraigne with faithfull Mordecai and Ester speedily preuent it by reuealing it If any King of Aram takes counsell with his seruants against the King of Israel with faithfull Elisha reueale it to your Caesar euen the words he speakes in his Priuy Chamber nay not onely reueale it but reuenge it In reos Maiestatis publicos Hostes omnis homo miles est saith Tertullian against Traytors and publike enemies euery man is a Souldier yea in this kind and sence we may and must in fortitudine nostra sumere cornua with Zedekiah make hornes of iron to push these treachercus Aramites vntill wee haue consumed them giue couragious resistance to treacherous violence vntill they may receiue deserued doome by Iustice And for the performance of this loyall seruice to their appointed Soueraignes no condition of men vnder the Sunne can pleade immunity neither Popes Priests nor People the Pope cannot pleade priuiledge if he will stand to his owne and old title Seruus seruorum A seruant of Seruants but he carries himselfe now adayes as if his Prentiship were out and would change his stile to be Dominus Dominorum A Lord ouer his Lord as the old Poet tels vs Roma tibi quondam fuerant Domini Dominorum Seruorum serui nunc tibisunt Domini For he disclaimes in action his old appellation the seruant of seruants neuer vses it but by way of equiuocation But to let him goe for Senex psittacus non capit ferulam He is too old to learne and happy are those Kings that haue least part of his seruice but if it please the Pope to be like the High Priests and I thinke that title is high enough for him they were content to call themselues seruants vnto Kings as Abimilech accounted himselfe Sauls seruant Let not the King impute any thing vnto his seruant c. And Zadocke the High Priest called by Dauid his seruant So Aaron to Moses Ne indignetur Dominus meus Let not the wrath of my Lord waxe fierce In a word Summi sacerdotes regibus subdebantur saith their Iesuite Their chiefe Priests were subiects and seruants to Kings in the Law and the chiefe Apostle euen Saint Peter from whom they would fetch their Pedegree of Primacy enioynes all in the Gospell to submit themselues for the Lords sake whether it be vnto the King as vnto the superior So that their freedome from seruice to the Princes of the Earth hath no warrant except from the Prince of the Ayre to whom Rome dedicates her scepter and seruice And this loyall seruice of the members vnto the royall and Princely Head ought to be dutifull faithfull and perpetuall that is the happy seruice which comes from an hearty obedience many things may seeme so in apparance which are not so in eslence It is the practise and very prayers of the wicked to cry thus Hor. 1. Epist 16. Da mihi fallere da iustum sanctumque videri Noctem peccatis fraudibus obijce nubem If they seeme trusty in shew though treasonable in heart they care not like bad seruants not in singlenesse of heart but with seruice to the eye as men-pleasers obey they their regall Masters This Age is full of such treacherous hearts as deceiptfull as Ioab to Amasa who tooke him aside to speake with him peaceably and smote him vnder the fift rib that he died or like Dalilah to Sampson with faire words and weeping to betray him to the Philistines No treason but in trust Decipimur specie recti The fained voice of Fowlers catcheth the Partridges Plouers The Mother of Error puts on her maske to bee taken for the Daughter of Time truth The Wolfe in sheeps cloathing scarce knowne from the sheapheards dogge Ptolomie the sonne of Abusus vnder a faire vizard of loue and kindnes feasting Simeon and his two sonnes killes them in his banquetting house Herod when he would play the wolfe he counterfetted a Foxe Goe and search diligently for the Babe and when ye haue found him bring me word that I may worship him his meaning was to worrie him So Iudas comes with his Aue Rabbi Haile Master betraying him with a kisse Do'i non sunt doli nisi astu celas Plautus So many a perfidious Traytor will cry Aue Caesar God saue the King but it is with such an affectiō as Antoninus Caracalla said of his brother Geta Sit diuus modo non viuus Let him be a Saint or a King in Heauen so he be not a King on Earth Beware of dissemblers parasites and equiuocators His nomina mille mille nocendi artes Such are full of fraud full of villany beleeue them as the people of Rome belieued Carbon swearing neuer to credit him They are like to Polypus haue various shapes changing themselues into Angels of light but Malus vbi se bonum simulat tunc est pessimus A bad man when he counterfetteth to be good is worst Simulata sanctitas est duplex iniquitas A counterset holinesse is a two fold wickednesse Let vs performe according to our place faithfull hearty and trusty seruice to our dread Soueraigne and though the wicked labour to darken with a cloud of slaunder our faire and faithfull seruice yet at last that eclips of enuy will vanish of it selfe and our owne innocency

were a resurrection of this Kingdome from the dead claimes not a vanishing but a continuall and constant ioy which ioyfull thankefulnesse to God if we forbeare or forget because the time of that danger is past we shall be like them who seeing Iohn to be a shining and a burning light reioiced for a season in him or like the Pharise Thanke God in tongue and countenance onely And I feare there are many in this publike ioy and thankesgiuing assume the face and fashion of reioicers like Ruf●… who came to Vitellius after his victory carrying as Tacitus writes Latitiam gratulat ionem vultu ferens sed animo anxius c. Ioyfulnes in tongue and heauinesse in heart These if any such may witnesse against themselues That the Lord hath done great things for vs wherefore we reioice The better to awaken our flumbering affections to this perpetuall seruice of thankefull reioicing and to prouoke vs to imprint an eternall Momento in the Kalender of our hearts foreuer of the maruellous mercy of God in keeping vs from that intended destruction I haue enterprized to ●ouze vp and reuiue the languishing spirits of the Land with the renued remembrance of so ioyfull a worke and with a fresh supply to refresh this fainting and expiring Lampe which though it hath beene cherished with the oyle of many helping hands yet begins to faile in light and had need that both Pulpet and Presse should preach and publish a continuall Hallelu-Iah for so great and gracious a mercy of deliuery For earthly men are hardly moued to this duty of praysing and thanking God of ten Lepers but one returnes to giue thanks Pharao being plagued can send for Moses and Aaron and say Pray ye vnto the Lord for me but being eased neuer say Praise the Lord with me wherin if the latenesse of our gratulation to God shall find a cold entertainement with the vnthankefull Children of Men as if this worke were out of date I say with the Psalmist This shall be written for the generation to come and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord. In handling of which Subiect I will discourse principally of foure generall things 1. Of the plot and proiect it selfe 2. Of the Persons 3. Of the Causes or motiues 4. Of the ends By these foure markes I will guide my selfe in the description of this Chaos of confusion CHAP. II. 1. Of the Plot. IN the declaration of this direfull and detestable Powder-plot I may beginne with the words of Aeneas relating to Queene Dido of the fall of Troy yet with a little Inuersion Anglorum vt opes lamentabile regnum Eruerent Danai Quanquam animus 〈…〉 horret luctuque refugit Incipiam My heart doth shake with trembling feare amazt How famous England a rich flourishing Land By Papists Powder-plot had beene defac't And Troynouant like Troy in fiery ruines stand Had not the Lord put forth his sauing hand As Treason is a worke of darkenesse so these working Traytors wrought in darkenesse their plot of hellish pollicy and impiety concealed in a place of darkenesse Subterraneum foramen A place vnder the Earth they wrought vnder the ground beginning their Mine the eleauenth of December 1604 neare to the wall of the Parliament house Itum est in viscera terrae Atque oculis captifodere cubilia talpae Ouid. These blinded Pyoners to the Prince of hell Labor in darkenesse and in darkenesse dwell Deepe politicians to vndermine a State what depth in deuising cunning in contriuing cost in preparing sweat in labouring closenesse in conueying Ingeniosa crudelitas ad poenas Men of cruel wits to crucifie their Countrey but the Lords potent wisdome eluded the profound policies of these monstrous and mischieuous Earthwormes In which damnable plot two points considerable 1. Their secrecy 2. Their cruelty in it Secrecy both in the Act and Agents 1. Vnder the Earth the bosome of all secrets 2. In the Agents who sweare and take the Sacrament for secrecy Strange impiety to take the Sacrament the Seale of Grace to commit not a crying sinne of blood but a roaring and thundering sinne of fire and brimstone This is Popish practise vsually to tie themselues for performance of their desperate deeds by taking the Sacrament in which they hold Christs body and blood really present and thereupon make a bargaine to shed reall yea royall blood Nullus s●mel are receptus Sang●… f●nces I may say of them as Iacob of Simeon and Leui Brethren in euill the Instruments of cruelty are their habitations into their secret let not my soule come These Gun-powder-Traytors first in their mine consulting with the Prince of Darknesse the president of their plot and counsell and the combining and conspiring with themselues in the deepest secrecy for the perpetrating this inhumane villany and hauing from the eleauenth of December 1604 vnto Candlemasse next laboured vnder the ground and brought their wicked worke through halfe the wall of the Parliament House vpon a new opportunity leaue their vndermining worke Daemonum opus The Diuels worke and hire the Vault or Cellar vnder the Parliament house And as before these Diuels Iourney-men laboured vnder the Earth so now framing and machinating sub Senatu vnder the Parliament House to make a finall dissolution there which is the famous place of publike reformation and therefore secretly doe conuey great store of powder thither about 36 barrels of powder couered ouer with store of wood and billet and to vse Dauids words Lo the wicked bend their Bowe and make ready their Arrowes vpon the string that they may secretly shoote at them which are vpright in heart for the foundations shall be cast downe and what hath the righteous done And as the same Prophet They incourage themselues in a wicked purpose they commune together to lay snares priuily and say Who shall see them but the Lord did breake the counsell of the Heathen and brought to nought the deuises of such people Blessed be his holy name for euer 2 Is the cruelty of the plot which appears specially in two respects 1. In the generall extent 2. In the greeuous deuice The extent large plotted for the generall destruction of the King and Kingdome Cum subit illius dirissima mortis image Vltima quae Regi regnoque bonisque fuisset Horribilis quatit essa tremor A dismall day in which they did intend Of King and Kingdome for to make an end These Powder-papists then dreamed to haue had a Romane Regiment that Tuesday at night here like Hamilcars dreame the Generall of the Carthaginiani laying siege to Syracusa an Image appeared to him in his dreame and told Hamilear hee should sup the next night in Syracusa and so he did yet not as a Captaine but Captiue or like Iulius Caesaers dreame who the night before he was slaine in the Senate house dreamed that he sate hard by Iupiters seate So
