you the verse to paralise Blessed art thou O Land when thy King is the Son of Nobles Eccles 10.17 a lesson very fit and observal for these times it was taught by him whom none can deny but he was the wealthiest and the wisest Prince and Preacher that ever was before Christ or since Christ and none but Christ himself who was both King Priest and Prophet had that powerful operation and knowledge as he had and indeed it must needs be for his wisdom from above read but Ecclesiastes and his Proverbs and you shall see and confesse that they must needs come from the Spirit of God though from his mouth delivered and we shall find all true in them and for this one place which I have quoted by woful experience this our Land can witnesse for truth for since this Land hath been governed by them who by other actions could not c. did not shew that ever they were the sons of Gentry much lesse of Nobility and these have been the Heads and Governours of our poor distressed and almost ruined Kingdoms these many years who maintaind their Prerogatives by perjury oppression sacrilidge and murder who did so far deoperate from being nursing Fathers and nursing Mothers of Gods Church and people who hath promised that Kings and Queens shall be Isa 49.23 they have not onely murdered their Father that religious pious Prince of blessed memory CHARLS the first but they have as much as in them lay like Vipers eat out the Bowels of their Mother the Church and not satisfied with that but were about to sacrifice her to the Idols of their own Inventions and so to destroy her Root and Branch Not being contented with what they had got Kings Queens Bishops Deans and Chapters Lands but did not stick to say openly if they prevailed the Church and Priest too should suffer as in derision they call them which they know not that they deride Christ himself in that title nay these that cry up so for Iesus Christ hated the office and dignity of him who takes the title of King Priest and Prophet and truely I believe that they have been so much against Papists in their mouths terming these decent Ordinances of God that was maintaind in the Church to be Popery it will be proved and is partly known and found by some that Iesuites have been the chief ringleaders of them for those that have been seduced by them I hartily desire of God that he would make them see the errors of their wayes by his wonderful works of Providence which he hath already done in this unheard of Reformation which he hath brough in with his Word and not with the Sword by the power of his Spirit and not by the arm of flesh by turning the hearts of Subjects to their Soveraign to submit to him and not to resist him God is a God of peace scatter thou the people that delight in war saith David Psal 68. he was a man after Gods own heart and surely he would not prary so but that he knew God did not delight in those that thirsted after blood if David was startel'd and toucht in his heart for cutting off the lap of Saul's garment who sought his life and yet he was annointed King too saying the Lord keep me from doing that thing unto my Master the Lords Annointed to lay my hand upon him 1 Sam. chap. 23. nor you never read that he ever sufferd his souldiers either to do him or his servants wrong but to fly and defend themselves O then with what impudence could they justifie that most horid unheard of barbarism Murder that was committed upon the person of the late King whose hearts never struck them for cutting off his head a deed that they can show no president for since the Creation of the World neither by the Laws of God nor the Laws of any Land which gilt they would have laid upon the whole Nation saying they were chosen by them but the Lord that knows the hearts of all men knows it was odious in the eyes of most of the Nation as it is seen at this day for upon the Prayers and Cryes of his Church and People hath prevail'd and now he is making inquisition for the innocent blood of that Royal Martyr and the rest of his layall Subjects that hath sufferd for him Where can they fly now from the face of an angry God there is no way for them but to submit themselves to the mercy of God and the King for there is no escaping for them they are so odious in the eyes of all that their very intimate Friends will not hide them no nor will take pity on them no Land-man will secure them no Sea-man will convey them over Sea if they do no Nation will trust them for they that have been so unnatural to their own Country and such Rebels and Traytors to their own Prince to murder him the greatest Tyrant in the World will hate them and if they had acted it for him he would say as Richard the third said to Banester when he betrayed his Master he loved the Treason but he hated the Traytor and if any Prince suffer them to passe through their Country they must take it as a greater favour than they deserve But stay my Subject tells me I am about the blessednesse of a Land whose King is the Son of Nobles O happy Land have we whose King is the Son of a Noble Pious and Religious Prince as ever sway'd the Scepter since the Conquest and this our most dread Soveraigne CHARLS the second whom God grant long to reign over us I believe the worst of his Enemies that ever heard him and saw him in all his banishment in the worst of times all say but he deserves the love both of God and Man which the Lord hath shown by his most wonderful Restoration to his Crown and Dignity which all his loyal Subjects did believe would be as I believe those that knows me hath heard me say as much in the worst of times yet to be wrought so peaceably so powerfully and so suddenly 't is more then ever could be imagined that we must all say with the Apostle St. Paul in the 11. of the Romans vers 33. O the deepnesse and the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God how unsearchable are his Iudgements and his wayes past finding out but Solomon saith Proverbs 16.7 When a mans wayes please the Lord he maketh his very enemies to be at peace with him as I desire the worst of his enemies to consider on if the Lord hath not yet reconciled their hearts to him this one place of Scripture comparing it with the actions and transactions of our times we must confesse that he is our David of God and that his wayes hath pleased him for he hath made us all which were his enemies to be at peace with him I hope some may perhaps say that he had those here that never was
