A TREATISE IN IVSTIFICATION OF THE KING OXFORD Printed by Leonard Lichfield Printer to the University 1642. A Iustification of the KING TIBERIUS the third Emperour of Rome was not onely killed and drawn through the streets by the Romanes but the Priests of all the Temples prayed unto the gods not to receive him unto them and prayed the Infernall Furies that they would grievously torment him saying it was justly required that the Tyrant which troubleth the good in this life should have no place amongst the good after his death And Tully speaking of a Tyrant saith non est naturae dispar illum spoliare quem honestum ect necar● nay the same Author saith non se obstruxit scelere si quis Tyrannum occidit quamvis familiarem that is t is no wickednesse to kill a Tyrant now from that saying of Tully I inferre that to kill a King is impious nay so crying is the blood of a murdered King that the particular agent bears not all the ensuing misery though he only gave the stroake as you may see in the 49. of Genesis the sixt and seventh verses Into their secret let not my soule come for in their wrath they slew a man now who that King was you may see in the 34. Chapter Cursed be their wrath for it was fierce and their rage for it was cruell I will divide them in Jacob and scatter them in Israell verse 7. And are there not some in these times as guilty as Simeon and Levi in their desires though by Gods preventing grace they want their opportunities witnesse that unchristian like trayterous and disloyall praier of him that wished he might wash his hands in His Majesties bloud or what can be thought of that Declaration of the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament for the raising of all power and force as well Trayned Bands as others to fight with kill and slay by force of armes all such as shall oppose them and shall raise or conduct any forces against them which are imployed in this service by either or both Houses of Parliament and whereas they know that the King doth raise forces and notwithstanding that they give power to kill and slay such as raise or conduct forces against their forces and never so much as except the King in that Declaration as His Majesty himselfe hath observed Perhaps that may be a neglect in the Clearke that delivered the Copy or else in the Printer for certainly the Parliament have a greater care of the Kings owne Person but however that neglect breeds ill affections and disloyalty in the ruder fort of people and therefore it deserves to be amended and corrected by the House that the Malignants as they are called might have nothing to object against them Another thing worth their consideration is that which Saint Paul mentions to the Romanes in the 16. Chapter 17 and 18. verses I beseech you Brethren marke them diligently which cause division offences contrary to the Doctrine which you have learn'd and avoid them And let any man judge whether there are not such in these times the Parliament is the only meanes we have to redresse those grievances which are and will be if suffered far worse then that of Shipmony or any other that hath been remedied Are there not like wise such as the Apostle mentions in his Epistle to Timothy Truce-breakers false Accusers Intemperate men fierce and Despisers of such as are good Traitors heady high-minded Lovers of pleasures more then lovers of God having a shew of godlinesse but denying the power thereof from such turn away saith the Apostle for of this sort are they which creep into houses and lead away simple women laden with sins and led aways with divers lusts 2 Tim. 3. and 3 4 5 6 verses certainly we have some pestilent fellows amongst us I name none such as are movers of sedition amongst us throughout the world and chief maintainers of the Sect of the Nazarites Acts 24. 5. Nay are there not such in these times that give private information of things which they cannot prove according to that in the Acts They cannot prove the things whereof they now accuse me Acts 24. 13. Kings are Gods annointed and therefore sacred and not to be touch'd with rude hands though their demeanour in Government be never so wicked and never so unjust yet the Divine character of Authority enstampt upon them giveth him an inviolable immunity from humane hands Hence it was that David though himselfe annointed also by Gods appointment durst not injure Saul But his heart smote him for renting but the lap of Sauls garment when God had delivered Saul into Davids hands and shall we applaud our selves without remorse of conscience when we lay violent hands upon the fairest jewell of the Crown of our Lords Annointed and when we pluck the fairest flower of His Garland from his head was Saul more sacred more holy more vertuous than our Charles or have we more liberty more priviledge to disobey and to dis-robe Kings of their Honor than the Jews had or hath this Parliament a more wise and understanding heart or a more sincere zeale to Reformation or a more sacred and Divine calling than David had Oh then be wise yee sonnes of men be learned you that take upon you to judge the earth lest the King of kings laugh at your folly and crush you in peeces with a rod of iron Let it be a badge of antichristianity and of that Man of sin and odious let it be to all true zealots to exalt themselves against all that is called God let us fear to seperate that which God hath conjoynd Hath not he taught both in the Old and New Testament to fear God and honor the King and shall we now imagine that the dishonoring the King must be the chiefe evidence of our fearing God God forbid let us know that Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft most odious to God most bewitching and entising in it selfe shall we wonder it should appear maskt with Religion and ushered in with pretence of Reformation behold the father or lyes the Devill when he would have tempted our Saviour to Rebellion against his Father came with scriptum est for a Preface though he knew his mischievous design of heart could not lye hid from the All-seeing eys of our Lord.
