Blood to the Crown and of his Unparallell'd Merits and his Interests to defend that Right against all Treasons and Traiterous Conspiracies whatever And First I shall crave leave to speak a few words with Reverence concerning his most Gracious Majesty's most undoubted Right of Blood c. It may seem needless to have his Majesty's Titles after Proclamation to be declared especially in the Pulpit Yet give me leave in Remembrance of the BLACK BOX and the Excluding Bill more Black than That and that still more Black and Bloody Association that follow'd it and which still worketh in the Hearts of the Children of Disobedience to put you especially of the Common Souldiery in Remembrance That our now Sovereign Lord King JAMES the Second is the now only surviving Son of King CHARLES the Martyr Grandson of King James that was of Scotland the Sixth of that Name and of Great Britain the First who was lawfully descended both by Father and Mothers side from King HENRY the Seventh and the Great ELIZABETH Daughter and Heir of Lionel Duke of Clarence third Son to Edward the Third Which King Henry the Seventh entailed the Crown of England by Act of Parliament upon the Issue of His and his Queens Body Lawfully begotten No Prince ever mounted the Throne of England with a Title more undoubtedly apparent and clear Clear as the Sun in its brightest Meridian Clear as the Late King could make it in a Declaration written with his own hand to prevent the now Rebels pretensions and to prevent and avoid any Disputes for time to come concerning his Now Majesty's Succession to the Crown His late Majesty's own Words to this purpose are published by the truly Loyal and Judicious Authour of the Address to the Freemen and Freeholders of the Nation Vid. part ● p. 14 15 16 17 But Secondly Had not his Majesty been born to be a King I think there are but few that have the Honour to know him who do not think him the Worthiest Person to have been chosen our King For if ever we had a Prince that came to the Crown in the full Ripeness and Maturity as well of Royal Uertues as Years one who brought to the Government of his people all that Experience which others are a long time at much charge and more hazard to learn it is our present most Gracious Sovereign King JAMES A Prince whose Wisdom Justice and Mercy if men will be but so merciful to themselves as to do any thing that may deserve it A Prince whose Munificence and Magnanimity whose Sobriety and Temperance whose Courage to dare bravely in the greatest dangers equal to his Christian Fortitude in bearing the worst of Evils from the hands of a sort of Men-Devils among us A Prince whose firm Fidelity to his Friends and whose Zeal for the Honour of the English Name and Nation are so notoriously known both at home and abroad that even base Envy and Detraction have but render'd them the more acknowledged and Jllustriously Conspicuous All these shine by their Own Light and need not my dim Taper to shew them by But there is one Qualification which will gild and adorn his Crown and add a Lustre to his Great Name in Chronicle and that is his Ueracity And King JAMES the Second shall be known in the Ages to come by this Appellative of King JAMES the Just Prince of his Word Go to then all they that whine and fear for their Religion their Religion blush they and let them all be ashamed and confounded because of the Evils which they fear only because they are not Have we not for our Security as a Pawn the Word of a Prince who never yet broke his Word But if neither his Royal Title nor his Royal Merits may prevail with rash and unadvised Men to work them up to Obedience let it be consider'd in the Third place of what value his Interests are to secure and defend the Rights both of his Title and his Merits For though his Majesty hold all by Love all his Kingdoms and Countries having long since received him into their Hearts yet I shall here subjoin to the Honour of his Majesty the Comfort of his Friends and the Terrour of his Enemies these two Considerations First That his Majesty hath the undoubted Forces of England Scotland and Ireland and all other his Dominions and Countries in his own power and at his sole Command And the Numerous and very Loyal Addresses that have been sent from all the Quarters of these his Kingdoms are so highly expressive of a Godly Emulation in all his Loyal Subjects to serve him that it hath hitherto seem'd the only Contest within the three Kingdoms who should be the forwardest in Duty to vow their Lives and Estates a Sacrifice in defence of his Imperial Highness and the Prerogative What should I speak of his Militia of his Magazines and his Naval Forces at Sea and of his most Wise Council What of the Thrice happy Agreement which hath been all along and still is and which we beseech Almighty God to continue between him and his most Loyal Parliament Consider we Secondly His Friends and Alliances abroad and their mighty Puissance to assert his Right They are all of them of such Invincible strength and might both by Sea and Land as by God's continuing to bless the Union will give no Cause to fear either the growing Factions at home or the growing Greatness shall I call it of our Neighbour-Nation Nunc Causa valens causàmque tuentibus Armis And therefore as the King doth no doubt out of a most Religious and Godly heart so let us lift up our Hands and our Eyes to God on High and let us from the bottom of our Hearts beseech him to keep and defend His own King whom maugre all the Evil Designs of Evil Men among us he hath set on the Throne of the English Nation for the Glory of his Name and for the comfort of us his Subjects Let us pray for him and against his Enemies That God would abate their Pride and asswage their Malice and discover daily more and more and confound their Devices And to our Prayers let us each man in his Station manfully endeavour his Peace and our own in His. And to this End let all Murmurings and Repinings and Discontents towards the Government for ever cease from amongst us Let us follow Peace and the things that make for Peace and the things in which we may Edifie one another quietly submitting our selves to the Government that God hath set over us and blessing God that he hath accounted us worthy of so Good a Prince to Rule and to Reign over us and beseeching him to continue his Reign long and prosperous even for Many and for Many Years And to this Good Prayer let every one here present be concern'd to say Amen FINIS A Catalogue of some Books Printed for and Sold by Luke Meredith at the King's Head at the West End of St. Paul's Church-yard AN Introduction to the Old English History comprehended in Three several Tracts The First An Answer to Mr. Petyt's Rights of the Commons Asserted and to a Book Entituled Jani Anglorum Facies Nova The Second Edition very much enlarged The Second An Answer to a Book Entituled Argumentum Antinormanicum much upon the same Subject Never before Published The Third The Exact History of the Succession of the Crown of England The Second Edition also very much enlarged Together with an Appendix containing several Records and a Series of Great Councils and Parliaments Before and After the Conquest unto the End of the Reign of Henry the Third And a Glossary expounding many Words used frequently in our Antient Records Laws and Historians Published for the Vindication of Truth and the Assistance of such as desire with Satisfaction to read and truly understand the Antient English Historians and other Pieces of Antiquity By Robert Brady Doctor in Physick Two Treatises The First Concerning Reproaching and Censure The Second An Answer to Mr. Serjeant's Sure-Footing To which are annexed Three Sermons Preached upon several Occasions and very useful for these Times By the late Learned and Reverend William Falkner D.
